A mangrove stand under sewage pollution stress: Red Sea

A mangrove stand of Avicennia marina located at the South Corniche of Jeddah city receives about 100 000 m³ of sewage per day. The sewage has high values of BOD, COD, nutrient concentrations, heavy metals and faecal coliform counts.The mangrove stand is very small and occupies an area of about 0.45 km². The trees are stunted with low pneumatophore density. The pneumatophore distribution is restricted to the area of substrate underneath the plant crown covers and they do not look healthy. A high proportion of them was observed to be dead and/or aberrant. These abnormal induced features were attributed to the sewage discharge in the area. The death of pneumatophores decreases the aeration area which apparently affects the respiration rate of the root system, nutrient uptake and plant growth, consequently leading to a retarded growth of the mangroves.

木材弦向导热系数的理论表达式

分析木材细胞结构形态,以长匣子形作为木材细胞模型,根据材料导热与导电规律的相似性,应用类比推理方法,从欧姆电阻定律推出材料导热的热阻公式;依据该细胞模型和热阻公式推导木材弦向导热系数的理论表达式,从而揭示木材弦向导热系数是木材孔隙率的函数。孔隙率越大的木材,导热系数越小,并实际计算了24种木材的弦向导热系数,与试验值比较,理论值的最大误差12.6%,平均误差小于6.4%。

腰果酚环氧稀释剂与E-51树脂共混体系固化性能研究

以天然腰果酚为原料制备了一种高活性腰果酚基环氧稀释剂(CDE),利用所制备的CDE与双酚A型环氧树脂(E-51)共混,再与甲基四氢苯酐进行交联固化反应,通过力学性能测试,研究了稀释剂含量对固化物性能的影响。实验结果表明:CDE对E-51有显著的稀释增韧作用;随着CDE含量的增加,固化树脂的玻璃化转变温度逐渐降低;当CDE的加入量为20%时,固化物的冲击强度及拉伸强度达到最大值,分别为19.17 k J/m2和56.81 MPa,弯曲强度为108.8 MPa。     

Challenges of thermal nociceptive threshold testing in the donkey

ObjectiveTo evaluate a thermal nociceptive threshold (TNT) testing device in the donkey, and the influence of potential confounding factors on TNTs.AnimalsTwo groups (Group 1 and Group 2) of eight castrated male donkeys aged 4–9 years, weighing 105–170 kg.MethodsTNTs were measured by heating a thermal probe on skin until an end-point behaviour (threshold temperature) or a cut-out temperature (51 °C) was reached. The withers and the dorsal aspect of the distal limb were used as sites for TNT testing. The effects on TNT of different confounding factors: the limb tested; rate of heating; and ambient temperature were evaluated. Data were analyzed using general linear models, and Mann-Whitney tests, p < 0.05 was considered significant.ResultsEnd-point behaviours (skin twitch or donkey looking at test device) when the thermal probe heated the withers were observed in approximately half of tests. TNT was (mean ± SD) 46.8 ± 2.85 °C. Subsequently the limb was evaluated as the test site in Group 1 followed by Group 2 donkeys; end-point behaviour being a foot-lift. In Group 1, 72% of tests ended in an end-point behaviour but the response rate was lower in Group 2 (20%), although TNTs were similar [(47.6 ± 3.3) and (47.3 ± 3.0) °C respectively] for responding animals. Rate of heating, ambient temperature and laterality (right or left) did not affect thresholds, but mean TNT was significantly higher in the forelimb (48.5 ± 2.8 °C) than the hind limb (47.4 ± 2.8 °C) (p = 0.012).ConclusionsWhen a thermal probe cut-out temperature of 51 °C was used in TNT testing in the donkey a high proportion of tests did not produce an identifiable end point behaviour. Higher cut-out temperatures damaged the skin. Under these conditions, thermal nociceptive threshold testing appears not be an appropriate analgesiometry technique in the donkey.Clinical relevanceTNT testing under these conditions is not suitable form of analgesiometry for donkeys.
