The persistence of inter‐regional hierarchy in technology transfer networks: An analysis of Chinese patent licensing data

This paper asks whether the technological development of a nation reduces the inter‐regional hierarchy in knowledge flow. We examine two scenarios that are the alternative to each other. The first is what we call the globalization of regional innovation system/weakening of inter‐regional hierarchy scenario: As many regions develop their niches in the global economy, the national “anchor” region loses its relative importance as the importer and distributor of new knowledge, rendering the domestic inter‐regional hierarchy less significant as a result. The second scenario is the globalization of national innovation system/persistence of inter‐regional hierarchy. The nation’s traditional anchor region becomes even more active in importing technology and distributing it to other regions of the country. To test which scenario is closer to reality, we employ social network metrics to analyse inter‐regional technology diffusion networks using Chinese patent licensing data for the 1998–2013 period. Our findings support the second scenario, showing that the influence of the traditional anchor region persists in the hierarchical network structure as new cities enter the network. We found five anchor regions: the three usual suspects—Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen—plus two that were slightly less expected—Dongguan and Suzhou.     

冬季罗非鱼营养性疾病的探讨与防治

罗非鱼属热带鱼类 ,其最适生长温度在 2 5～35℃ ,生存温度 15～ 37℃ ,而致死温度在 10℃以下。在我国南方地区 (特别是两广地区 ) ,冬季平均气温在 10℃以上 ,为罗非鱼在自然条件下安全越冬提供了十分有利的条件。然而在冬季 ,许多地方还是发生了较大规模的鱼病和死亡情况。下面就南方地区冬季罗非鱼发病死亡的原因进行探讨并提出防治措施 ,以供参考。1　鱼病的流行情况与症状进入冬季 ,罗非鱼的死亡情况大多发生在气温骤然下降两、三天后 ,当气温又有所回升之时 ,其损失情况也各有不同。有些是集中大批量死亡 ,有些则是连续几天不断有死…

A model to study the effect of certification of planting material on the occurrence of leek rust

Based on a simple model, the possible effects of certification of planting material on the occurrence of leek rust in a region can be derived from information on the proportion of infected fields (v) and the proportion of newly planted fields with infected planting material (i) in that region. Ifv i, certification of planting material will be highly effective.     

Inhibition of chitin synthesis by two 1-(2,6-disubstituted benzoyl)-3-phenylurea insecticides. II

The knowledge of the biochemical mode of action of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)urea (diflubenzuron) is presented, explaining the insecticidal effect. Like its structural analog, 1-(2,6-dichlorobenzyl)-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)urea (Du 19111), it inhibits chitin synthesis in the cuticle of larvae. Virtually complete inhibition was demonstrable 15 min after the application of diflubenzuron. Neither diflubenzuron nor Du 19111 has any effect upon chitinase activity either in vivo or in vitro. The insecticidal effect upon the cuticle, therefore, must be explained as an inhibition of chitin synthesis and not as an activation of chitin degradation. In contrast to the action of Du 19111, no accumulation of N-acetylglucosamine occurs upon treatment of larvae with diflubenzuron. Similarities and differences in the mode of action of both compounds are discussed, together with other effects reported in the literature.     

安徽省鸡免疫抑制性疾病的流行病学调查

采集了安徽省6个主要养鸡地区65群鸡的185只病鸡共986份组织样品，对可引起免疫抑制性疾病的5种最常见病毒进行了PCR检测。结果，传染性腔上囊病病毒（IBDV）、鸡传染性贫血病毒（CIAV）、马立克氏病病毒（MDV）、禽白血病病毒（ALV）和网状内皮增生症病毒（REV）的群阳性率和个体阳性率分别为73．08％和40．91％、46．15％和25．95％、41．54％和17．84％、18．46％和7．57％、13．85％和4．86％，其中被检鸡之二重或多重混合感染的总阳性率为24．33％。调查结果证实，免疫抑制性疾病在安徽省的商业鸡群中普遍存在，并与鸡群疾病多而复杂、损失大相关。     

Phenotypic and genetic characterization of Erwinia carotovora from mulberry (Morus spp.)

Phenotypic and genetic characteristics of nine bacterial strains isolated from mulberry ( Morus spp.), which were originally described as Erwinia carotovora ssp. carotovora (Ecc), were investigated. Based on the results of biochemical tests, these bacterial strains were divided into two different types, type 1 and type 2. Two strains of type 1 were similar to Ecc, whereas seven strains of type 2 were distinct from Ecc. A polyphasic study that included serological assay, specific PCR assay for E. carotovora ssp. atroseptica (Eca), PCR-RFLP of a pectate lyase ( pel ) gene and RAPD-PCR was performed on the type 2 strains, and the data were compared with those of related E. carotovora subspecies. The results of serological and specific PCR assays for Eca showed that the type 2 strains were distinct from Eca. In RFLP analysis of the pel gene using Sau 3AI, the type 2 strains showed a unique RFLP pattern. On the basis of RAPD analysis, similarity of RAPD patterns within the type 2 strains was very high. A unique RAPD fragment was isolated from the type 2 strains and used as a probe for Southern hybridization. This probe hybridized only with PCR products from the type 2 strains. Based on phenotypic, serological and genetic characteristics, the type 2 strains isolated from mulberry may belong to a distinct E. carotovora subspecies other than Eca or Ecc.     

植物乳杆菌ST-Ⅲ对实验性动物高胆固醇血症影响的研究

在建立试验用高胆固醇血症大鼠模型的基础上,观察用植物乳杆菌ST-Ⅲ制成的三个不同剂量的ST-Ⅲ活性乳对大鼠血脂水平的影响。动物实验表明:三个剂量的ST-Ⅲ活性乳均可显蓍降低大鼠血清胆固醇(TC)的含量(P<0.01),但对甘油三酯(TG)的降低作用不显著(P>0.05)。高剂量的ST-Ⅲ活性乳可显著提高大鼠血清高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-c)含量(P<0.01)。因此认为ST-Ⅲ活性乳具有辅助降血脂的功能,特别对高胆固醇血症具有良好的功效。     

紫茎泽兰对萨能奶山羊血常规及重要脏器病理学的影响

紫茎泽兰(Eupatorium adenophorum)在中国作为入侵物种,可造成食草动物中毒死亡,并给畜牧业带巨大的损失。为研究反刍动物采食紫茎泽兰后的中毒机理,本研究探讨了日粮中添加不同剂量的紫茎泽兰对萨能奶山羊(Saanen goat)血常规及肝、脾、肾的病理学影响。选择16只5~6月龄健康萨能奶山羊,随机分成对照组(日粮中未添加紫茎泽兰)和试验Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ组(日粮配比中分别添加紫茎泽兰40%、60%和80%),每组4只。试验Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ组分别饲喂含40%、60%和80%紫茎泽兰的混合日粮3个月,每两周检测一次血常规,试验末屠宰奶山羊,并观察其肝、肾、脾的病理学变化。结果表明,与对照组相比,各试验组血液中的白细胞(white blood cell,)和中性粒细胞(neutrophil,NEUT)均显著升高(P0.05),试验后期极显著高于对照组(P0.01);而各试验组血液中淋巴细胞(lymphocyte,LY)与血红蛋白(hemoglobin,HGB)均呈下降趋势,试验后期均极显著低于对照组(P0.01)。肝和脾肿大,肝组织出现淤血,肝细胞发生水泡变性及脂肪变性等,肾组织伴有出血、坏死、颗粒变性及水泡样变性的现象。因此,本研究结果说明紫茎泽兰对萨能奶山羊血液指标有显著影响,且长期摄入紫茎泽兰可引起动物肝、肾、脾等主要实质器官不同程度的损伤。     

假臭草幼苗生长对水氮耦合效应的响应

为揭示入侵植物假臭草(Praxelis clematidea)幼苗生长对不同水、氮养分耦合模式的响应机制,探讨其与入侵性的关系,以假臭草为供试材料,设计3个供水量水平、4个供氮量水平共12个处理,比较假臭草的形态、生物量分配和叶绿素含量等生长指标对不同水氮耦合效应的可塑性反应。结果显示,假臭草幼苗生长受水氮耦合影响显著(P0.05),在适宜水分和养分条件,如中水中氮处理(沙土饱和含水量60%~70%,供水量60 mL·kg~(-1),供氮量0.30g·kg~(-1))处理下,假臭草幼苗株高、茎粗、叶面积、总根长度和根表面积等根、茎、叶形态指标表现较好,生物量积累较多,植株生长较好。低水处理(沙土饱和含水量30%~40%,供水量30 mL·kg~(-1))和高水处理(沙土饱和含水量90%~100%,供水量90mL·kg~(-1))的各个氮含量处理的假臭草植株的各项根、茎、叶形态及生物量指标均差于中水处理。假臭草叶绿素对氮素较为敏感,随着氮素增加其积累量也相应增多。研究结果表明,假臭草入侵植物喜好一定的水、氮环境,过多或不足的水分或养分则不利于假臭草的生长发育,但仍有一定的分布,这与其入侵性密切相关。
