Chromosome Studies in the Genus Alstroemeria

Chromosomes of 11 cultivars of Alstroemeria were studied to determine their somatic constitutions. Two cultivars, ‘Eureka’ and ‘Zebra’, were diploid (2n = 2×= 16), six cultivars, ‘Yellow King’, ‘King Cardinal’, ‘Mona Lisa’, ‘Appelbloesem’, ‘Pink Triumph’ and ‘Rosita’ were triploid with 2n = 3×= 24, one cultivar, ‘Orange Beauty’ was a hypertriploid (2n = 3×+ 1 = 25), one cultivar, ‘Luciana’ was a hypotetraploid (2n = 4×– 1 =31) and one cultivar, ‘Jubilee’, was true tetraploid (2n = 4×= 32). This result suggests that polyploid cultivars may have more market value in this cut flower, Alstroemeria.     

农产品冷链物流高质量发展水平评价及障碍度分析

推动冷链物流高质量发展,对减少农产品产后损失、扩大消费品优质供给、保障食品安全有重要作用。基于我国2012-2021年统计数据,构建了包括经济基础、物流发展、冷链运营、开放创新、绿色协调5个一级指标及21个二级指标的农产品冷链物流高质量发展评价指标体系,利用熵值法确定各指标的权重,综合评价指数确定得分水平,借助障碍度模型分析发展障碍因子。结果显示：我国农产品冷链物流高质量发展水平总体呈上升趋势且增速较快,到2021年水平值达到0.85,是初始状态的近13倍,其中开放创新水平的贡献度最高;阻碍高质量发展的障碍因素在2017年之前为开放创新水平,之后则是绿色协调水平。为进一步提高我国农产品冷链物流高质量发展水平,需要充分利用国内外两个市场、促进产业协同、发展绿色低碳物流。     

新疆南疆地区城市化发展与耕地资源协调性分析

基于南疆地区1989—2012年的社会,经济统计数据应用一元线性回归模型和协调度分析法,采用1990年,2000年,2010年3期Landsat TM,ETM+、ALOS/AVNIR-2数据作为数据源,提取城市和耕地面积信息,分析南疆地区城市化水平和耕地资源的变动情况、相关性以及协调性,找出城市化水平和耕地资源的互动关系,有助于为当地政府城市规划和进一步发展提供参考依据。结果表明:(1)近24a南疆地区处于城市化较慢的发展时期,其中城市化水平最高的是库尔勒市,较高的有阿克苏市、喀什市、和田市,最低的是阿图什市;(2)库尔勒、阿克苏、喀什等城市的耕地面积出现增长趋势,阿图什市和和田市耕地面积呈递减趋势;(3)1989—2012年南疆地区耕地资源与城市化水平的协调关系逐渐向良性发展,从1990年的不协调变了2012年的基本协调,说明研究期间南疆地区城市化水平与耕地资源协调度各年份的变化均不一致。     

Recruitment of sympatric vendace (Coregonus albula) and whitefish (C. lavaretus) is affected by different environmental factors

Vendace and whitefish in Lake Osensjøen (boreal south‐east Norway) were studied by means of gillnet test fishing (1976–2013) and hydro acoustic acquisition (1986–2011). Vendace increased in number between 1998 and 2009 while growth and size at maturity decreased. The relative density of whitefish decreased in the pelagic habitat, whereas growth and size remained the same. Both species exhibited varying year‐class strength. Whereas strong year‐classes of both species became less frequent after 1980 than before this, this seemed to change after 2000, especially for vendace. Generalised additive models suggested a strong positive relationship between July/August mean air temperature and year‐class strength of both vendace and whitefish. Whitefish recruitment was also negatively affected by the new regulation regime implemented since 1981, and positively correlated with water level after hatching and by late ice off. The reason for the diverging impacts of environmental factors on the two species may be that vendace spawn in deeper waters that whitefish do. The results indicate that increasing summer temperatures benefit recruitment of both species, whereas low water level and early ice off will harm whitefish recruitment. Both trends are caused by climate warming. It may be speculated that increased density of the specialised plankton feeding vendace may affect the algal community through increased predation on herbivorous zooplankton and potentially affect the trophic state of the lake.     

Potential for organic Chilean wine

Abstract

The potential for extending organic wine production in Chile is discussed in relation to its history and present situation. The main objective is to present an overview of the production of organic wine in Chile, its certification, and national and international markets. During the wine harvesting season in March and April 2006, the authors visited and interviewed staff at four Chilean organic wineries. The wineries were all situated in the wine-producing centre of the country and were of variable sizes. One of the certification bodies in Chile was also interviewed. In addition to the field studies and interviews in Chile, various written information has been used. Second to Argentina, Chile is the country that produces most wine in Latin America. Vineyards cover a total of 110 000 hectares of the country's two million hectares of arable land. A study carried out in 2005 showed that 2000 hectares (almost 2%) of vineyards are organically cultivated. The organic production is operated by 32 different companies, which produce organic wine mainly for exportation to the international market. In Chile, the number of certified organic wine producers has increased in recent years in a trend directed by international demand and possible competitive advantages for Chilean wines. In order for a wine to be called ‘organic’ or ‘wine made from organically grown grapes’, the cultivation and final product must be approved by a certification company. In Chile there are three main active certification bodies; one national (Certificadora Chile Orgánico, CCO) and two international (the Swiss company IMO and the German company BCS). The study reveals a country with innovation and energy but facing strong pressures from the international market and its jungle of laws and directives, and the differing prestige of different certifications and labels. Chile as a wine-producing country has many competitors, and the production of organic wine could be a way to find diversity and exploit new market ground where environmental consideration concerns and sustainability are important targets.

农民创业过程中基层政府与农民关系的探究

在国家政策的积极支持下,现在农民创业的热情非常高涨,也有很多成功的案例,但不少基层政府没有很好地理解政策的精神,导致创业过程中农民与基层政府的关系出现了偏差,使得农民不相信基层政府,甚至对有些干部非常反感。本文分析了关系出现偏差的原因并提出了完善的措施。     

城市发展过程中用水量预测研究

城市化程度的不断提高使得城市对资源环境的需求越来越多,对资源环境的压力也越来越大,尤其是对作为城市物质基础的水资源的压力越来越大。因此需要对城市经济发展过程中城市发展与城市用水的关系进行更进一步的研究。用衡量城市经济发展的4个指标组成一个向量-Ψ来定量描述城市化,并利用神经网络建立了向量-Ψ与城市用水量Q的数量关系,然后根据城市经济发展目标预测相应城市规模条件下城市用水量,为城市规划提供依据。
