Changes of decay and termite durabilities of Japanese larch (Larix leptolepis) wood due to high-temperature kiln drying processes

We investigated the effects of high-temperature drying schedules (120°–130°C) on decay and termite feeding of Japanese larch timbers. Thermogravimetric analysis was conducted to investigate changes of the wood components. Decay and termite feeding tests showed that specimens dried under high-temperature schedules were susceptible against a decaying fungus Fomitopsis palustris and attacks from termites Coptotermes formosanus and Reticulitermes speratus. These drying schedules changed chemical components, which were suggested by the thermal analytical result compared to the control sample. The results of this study indicated that the acceleration of termite feeding takes place even under temperatures that are comparatively lower than that used in our previous research in which 170°C steaming treatment was applied to Japanese larch wood. Decay durability against a brown rot fungus also decreased, possibly from production of low molecular weight fragments when hemicellulose decreased during the high-temperature drying processes.     

Combined effect of wood moisture content,drill bit rotational speed and feed rate on drilling resistance measurements in Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.)

ABSTRACT

An IML-RESI PD 400 drilling tool and a standard spade drill bit (IML System GmbH, Wiesloch, Germany) were used to study the combined effect of wood moisture content (MC), drill bit rotational speed and feed rate on drilling resistance (DR) and feeding force (FF). Tests were made with Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) conditioned in a normal climate (20°C/65% RH), at 20°C/95% RH, vacuum-pressure impregnated in water, and oven-dried. Rotational speeds and feed rates had an impact on feed rate per cutting edge for the major cutting edge of the drill bit which was used for correlation with DR and FF for various MC. Impact of MC on DR and FF depended on rotational speeds and feed rates of the drill bit. For feed rates per cutting edge less than 0.09?mm, DR was higher for water saturated (WS) specimens. Negligible differences between DR for various MC were found for feed rates per cutting edge between 0.09 and 0.15?mm. DR was higher at low MC for feed rates per cutting edge which were higher than 0.15?mm. FF extremely increased in conditioned (20°C/95% RH) and WS specimens at feed rates per cutting edge less than 0.1?mm.

杉木双系种子园无性系开花习性与异交率及其间的关系研究

基于对杉木双系种子园中成对无性系开花习性的多年观察及多年对杉木双系种子园的同工酶实验,运用EM算法估计各无性系的异交率大小,并使用DPS统计软件,详实地研究了异交率与开花习性诸多因素间的关系,其结果为:Y=0.877 7+0.104 4X1-0.615 8X2+0.354 4X3-0.061 8X4。上式中:X1为异系雄球花量,X3为异系开花同步性指数,它们对异交率的影响有正效应;而X2为系内开花同步性指数,X4为X3/X2之比,它们对异交率的影响有负效应。影响力的大小次序为:X2>X4>X3>X1。根据异交率与开花习性的关系研究,可以发现:今后新建杉木双系种子园时,挑选系内开花同步性小,而系间开花同步性大的双亲材料时,其后代异交率较高。     

Effects of stocking density on the performance of brown shrimp Farfantepenaeus californiensis co‐cultured with the green seaweed Ulva clathrata

The brown shrimp Farfantepenaeus californiensis and the seaweed Ulva clathrata, both native to north‐west Mexico, were co‐cultured in lined ponds during 18 weeks. The aim of this study was to evaluate different stocking densities (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 per m²) in terms of shrimp yield to see if the co‐culture method results in shrimp yields suitable for commercial production. The presence of Ulva results in good water quality and allows culture of brown shrimp with low water exchange (10% weekly) and with low nitrogen and phosphorus content in discharged water. The final weight and specific growth rate (SGR) in shrimp between 10 and 30 per m² were significantly higher (12.5–12.0 g and 4.56–4.53% day⁻¹ respectively) than 40 and 50 per m² (9.1 and 8.6 g, and 4.31% and 4.26% day⁻¹ respectively). Total shrimp biomass generated in 30 or more shrimp per m² was significantly higher (2.7–3.1 t ha⁻¹) compared with 10 and 20 shrimp per m² (1.0 and 2.0 t ha⁻¹ respectively). The lowest feed conversion ratio (FCR) (0.97) was shown in the 10 shrimp per m² case, and the highest FCR was seen with 50 shrimp per m² (1.37). Shrimp survival ranged between 71% and 81%, where the highest mortality was shown in 50 shrimp per m². The results show that the co‐culture method can result in commercially interesting yields, suggesting that 30 shrimp per m² is the best stocking density for co‐culturing F. californiensis with U. clathrata, based on the shrimp performance.     

温度变化对七带石斑鱼早期发育及开口摄食的影响

观察比较了9个温度梯度(13、15、17、19、21、23、25、27、29℃)对七带石斑鱼(Epinephelus septemfasciatus)受精卵孵化时间、孵化率和畸形率的影响。用在(21±0.5)℃条件下孵出的健康仔鱼进行耐饥饿和摄食实验,实验温度处理设两种方式:一、处理温度始终保持不变;二、将温度在处理48 h后统一调节至21℃。实验期间,每天统计仔鱼死亡数,测定不投饵条件下的存活指数(SAI),并观察仔鱼投饵后的开口摄食情况及其形态发育状况。结果表明:1)受精卵孵化的最适温度范围为17~23℃,当温度低于13℃或高于27℃时,受精卵不能孵化。21℃时,受精卵孵化率最高,为(93.67±1.52)%;而畸形率最低,为(1.06±1.06)%。当温度低于或高于21℃时其孵化率降低,而畸形率升高;2)在13~28℃范围内,初孵仔鱼的SAI值随着温度的上升先升高后逐渐降低,21℃时的SAI值最高,为(20.26±0.44)%。各组温度保持不变时,13℃和27℃的SAI值分别为(2.18±0.01)%、(8.47±0.28)%;调整一致后分别为(6.90±0.44)%、(13.30±0.31)%。温度调节组与不调节组相比,其SAI值明显提高。温度调节后,每个梯度组的畸形率也出现了不同程度的降低;3)不同温度处理的仔鱼开口摄食存在差异。21℃时,仔鱼的初始摄食率和饱食率分别可达80.0%和40.0%。随着温度偏离21℃,摄食率和饱食率均逐渐降低。温度调节恢复组的仔鱼摄食情况改善明显,其中17℃不变和恢复组对比变化最为明显:当保持17℃不变时仔鱼的摄食率和饱食率分别为20.0%、13.3%,而处理48 h后恢复到21℃后,两者分别提高到66.7%和33.3%,分别提高了2.3和1.5倍。
