The dramatic variation in the composition of a brine pond in Antarctica is a seasonal phenomenon. The phase relations of salts in solution are such that hydrologic conditions and temperature determine composition during the austral summer. Temperature is the primary determinant of composition during the winter. 相似文献

Abstract A soil map is eonventionally prepared by an experieneed surveyor via the following three steps; (1) establishment of taxonomie class, (2) alloeation of sam pie into one of the classes, and (3) delineation of homogeneous areas in terms of mapping unit. These steps involve some degree of arbitrariness; thus soil maps prepared by two surveyors are never identical. The aim of this study is to define a eertain proeedure of soil map eompilation, by introdueing numerical handling of soil data, to obtain a reproducible and easy-to-prepare soil map, with the help of the funetions of the eomputer-based Soil Data Management System (COSMAS). The authors applied Hayashi's theory of quantification No. 3 to numerical representation of soil profiles based on the pattern of eombination of various soil attributes relevant to soil classification. The following four soH types were recognized in the seattergram plotted using numerical va lues assigned to the soH profiles; Gley Lowland SoH, Gray Lowland Soil, Brown Lowland Soil and Pseudogley SoH. Then, using these numerical values, diseriminant analysis was carried out to classify each profile into one of the above-defined soil types. As a result, 89.7% of the observed profiles were assigned to the same soil types as assigned by a surveyor in the filed. Area delineation for each mapping unit on the basis of soil type assignment and probabHity of membership of a respective soil type group at a sampled si te was automatieally performed by an "AUTOMAP" program whieh was newly developed for COSMAS for graphic representation of soil data. The numerically prepared soi! map showed reasonable agreement with the surveyor's. A wide range of users of soil survey data can prepare various maps using the procedure proposed in this paper. 相似文献

Mass mortality of Fagacean tree species caused by Raffaelea quercivora has occurred widely in Japan. Because conidia or other propagules of the pathogen have not been found in infected trees, pathogen spread is assumed to occur primarily by hyphae. To clarify the relationship between hyphal growth of the pathogen within trees and their vessel arrangements, we examined two native Japanese oaks, Quercus crispula and Quercus glauca, and three exotic American oaks, Quercus coccinea, Quercus palustris and Quercus rubra. Quercus glauca is a radial‐porous species, whereas the other four species have a ring‐porous wood structure. Hyphal growth within inoculated potted living seedlings and in cut, sterilized stem segments of these species was examined microscopically after fungal inoculation. Water conductance in the seedlings was examined using transverse stem sections. The proportion of non‐conductive sapwood in Q. crispula, Q. coccinea and Q. palustris differed between inoculation and control treatment, being much higher in inoculated seedlings. The proportions were positively correlated with the extent of the hyphal growth. In sterilized stem segments, the extent of fungal colonization varied among the foreign ring‐porous species Q. coccinea, Q. palustris and Q. rubra. It is hypothesized that the extent of colonization by R. quercivora reflects the extent of non‐conductive sapwood irrespective of tree species, but is little affected by vessel arrangements. 相似文献

A brief period of ischemia, i.e. preconditioning of the middle cerebral artery territory, induces ischemic tolerance reducing the cerebral infarction volume caused by subsequent lethal ischemia. Nevertheless, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon. In the present study, we examined the involvement of the activation of Akt, a serine/threonine kinase, in the cerebral ischemic tolerance. Western blot analysis showed that Akt was activated in both non-preconditioned and preconditioned groups after ischemia for 1 hr, but the activation was long-lasting in the preconditioned rats. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that the preconditioning-induced preventive effect on a rapid decrease in the activation level of Akt was due to the persistent activation of Akt in the penumbra region. In addition, TUNEL staining demonstrated that the preconditioning treatment inhibited the augmentation of neuronal death probably through apoptosis in the penumbra region to prevent the spread of infarction. Since the activation of Akt has been reported to protect cells from stress, the present results suggest that the preconditioning-induced persistent activation of Akt in the penumbra region plays an important role in ischemic tolerance of the brain. 相似文献

A simple and rapid immunochromatographic assay (ICA) to detect Satsuma dwarf virus (SDV) was developed using colloidal gold conjugates of anti-SDV monoclonal antibodies. Of six homogenization buffers tested,
0.1 M citrate buffer (pH 7.0) gave the best results for the ICA. In the ICA, addition of 0.1% thioglycolic acid in the homogenization
buffers that have been widely used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) was deleterious to the reaction because of
undesirable coagulation of the colloidal gold. ICA using the anti-SDV monoclonal antibodies was 8 times and 16 times more
sensitive than double antibody sandwich-ELISA and ICA using the anti-SDV polyclonal antibody, respectively. The analysis is
complete in only 15 min. Furthermore, ICA using the anti-SDV monoclonal antibodies could also detect SDV-related viruses. 相似文献

This study was performed to examine whether the brain activities induced by noxious algesic chemical substances in anesthetized animals could be detected by blood oxygen-level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI). Multislice gradient echo images of the primary somatosensory cortex were obtained using a 7.05 T superconducting system and a one-turned surface coil centered over the primary somatosensory cortex of the 1.0%-isoflurane-anesthetized rat. The Z-score t-map of BOLD signals and its time-course analysis revealed that subcutaneous injection of formalin into the left forepaw immediately induced an early response in the contralateral primary sensory cortex lasting for a few minutes, followed by a late response until 20 min after stimulation. In contrast, injection of capsaicin into the left forepaw evoked only the early response. Furthermore, pretreatment with morphine completely abolished these responses induced by the chemical algesic substances. Thus BOLD-fMRI is a useful method to analyze the brain activities of painful stimulation in anesthetized animals. 相似文献

Mass mortality of fagaceous trees caused by Japanese oak wilt has occurred widely in Japan. Although virulence of the causal fungus, Raffaelea quercivora, appeared to differ among isolates, its relation to the fungal growth within trees was unknown. To clarify the differences in fungal virulence against susceptible Quercus crispula, we examined fungal growth of four R. quercivora isolates within trees and the resulting virulence. In our study, the isolates were multiple‐inoculated in seedlings and single‐inoculated in twigs of mature trees. In the multiple‐inoculation test, mortality rates were examined by the observation of external symptoms. In the single‐inoculation test, water conductance and hyphal growth within the trees were examined by applying aqueous dyes and fluorescence microscopy, respectively. Mortality rates, the proportion of the cross‐sectional area comprising non‐conductive sapwood and horizontal hyphal growth differed significantly among the isolates. Univariate logistic regression analyses showed that both the proportion of non‐conductive sapwood and hyphal growth were significantly positively related to mortality rates. For three isolates, hyphal growth was significantly positively correlated with the proportion of non‐conductive sapwood. These results suggested that the virulence against Q. crispula varies among R. quercivora isolates and that the extent of fungal colonization of the tree determines fungal virulence. 相似文献
