A low molecular weight poly(ethyleneoxide)-poly(butadiene) (PEO-PB) diblock copolymer containing 50 weight percent PEO forms gigantic wormlike micelles at low concentrations (<5 percent by weight) in water. Subsequent generation of free radicals with a conventional water-based redox reaction leads to chemical cross-linking of the PB cores without disruption of the cylindrical morphology, as evidenced by cryotransmission electron microscopy and small-angle neutron scattering experiments. These wormlike rubber micelles exhibit unusual viscoelastic properties in water. 相似文献

Diversity, density and species composition of naturally regenerated woody plants under Eucalyptus grandis plantation and the adjacent natural forest were investigated and compared. Twenty plots, with an area of 20 m × 20 m for
each, were established in both of E. grandis plantation and adjacent natural forest, independently. In each plot, species name, abundance, diameter and height were recorded.
Numbers of seedling were collected in five sub-plots (4 m2) within each major plot. A total of 46 species in the plantation, and 52 species in the natural forest, which belongs to
36 families were recorded. The diversity of species (H′) is 2.19 in the plantation and 2.74 in the natural forest. The density of understory woody plant was 3842 stems/ha in the
plantation and 4122 stems/ha in the natural forest. The densities of seedlings in the natural forest and the plantation were
8101 stems/ha and 4151 stems/ha, respectively. High similarity of woody species composition was found between the natural
forest and the plantation. The E. grandis plantation was found favoring the regeneration and growth of Millitia ferruginia and Coffea arabica in a much better way than other underneath woody species. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to compare the effect of two culture media: modified synthetic oviductal fluid (mSOF) and G1.2/G2.2, on the developmental competence of bovine somatic cell–cloned embryos. Cloned embryos were produced by transferring adult skin fibroblasts into enucleated MII oocytes. After activation, the reconstructed embryos were randomly allotted to either mSOF or G1.2/G2.2 for culture (the embryos were transferred from G1.2 to G2.2 on days 3 of culture). The development competence of cloned embryos in these two culture systems was compared in terms of cleavage rate, blastocyst formation rate and apoptosis cell number in day 7 blastocyts. To investigate the in vivo developmental competence of cloned embryos in the two culture systems, a total of 87 and 104 blastocysts derived from mSOF and G1.2/G2.2 medium groups were transferred individually to recipient Angus cows, respectively. No differences were observed in terms of cleavage rate, day 7 blastocyst rate and blastocyst cell number between these two culture systems. However, the day 6 blastocyst formation rate was significantly higher in G1.2/G2.2 than that in mSOF. In addition, blastocysts cultured in mSOF have a higher percentage of apoptotic blastomeres compared to those in G1.2/G2.2 (8.5 ± 1.2 vs 16.8 ± 1.5, p < 0.05). Although difference in pregnancy rate was not observed 40 days after embryo transfer, significantly higher pregnancy rate was observed in G1.2/G2.2 group after 90 days of embryo transfer (12.4% vs 37.5%, p < 0.05). Moreover, calving rate was significantly improved in G1.2/G2.2 group compared to mSOF group (27.9% vs 6.7%, p < 0.05). In conclusion, our results indicate that G1.2/G2.2 can improve developmental competence of bovine SCNT embryos both in vitro and in vivo, which is more suitable for culture of bovine SCNT embryos than mSOF medium. 相似文献

We report surveillance for rinderpest virus in wildlife populations in three major ecosystems of East Africa: Great Rift Valley, Somali and Tsavo from 1994 to 2003. Three hundred and eighty wild animals were sampled for detection of rinderpest virus, antigen or genome and 1133 sampled for antibody in sera from Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia and Tanzania from 20 species. This was done modifying for wildlife the internationally recommended standards for rinderpest investigation and diagnosis in livestock. The animals were selected according to susceptibility and preference given to gregarious species, and populations were selected according to abundance, availability and association with livestock. Rinderpest virus, antigen and/or genome were detected in Kenya; within Tsavo, Nairobi and Meru National Parks. Serological results from 864 animals (of which 65% were buffalo) from the region were selected as unequivocal; showing the temporal and spatial aspects of past epidemics. Recent infection has been only in or peripheral to the Somali ecosystem (in Kenya). Our evidence supports the hypothesis that wildlife is not important in the long-term maintenance of rinderpest and that wildlife are infected sporadically most likely from a cattle source, although this needs to be proven in the Somali ecosystem. Wildlife will continue to be a key to monitoring the remaining virus circulation in Africa. 相似文献

This short communication reports the impact of endometrial biopsies, uterine flushings and follicular fluid aspiration procedures at day 6 post artificial insemination (AI) on pregnancy rates. In Experiment 1, cows were timed AI (TAI) and assigned to the following treatment groups: control (n = 37), uterine flushing (n = 35) and endometrial biopsy (n = 38). On day 30 post AI, pregnancy rates were 40.5%, 33% and 28.5%, respectively (p > 0.1). Pregnancy rate on day 60 was lower (p < 0.004) in flushed cows than in the controls. In Experiment 2, oestrus was detected and cows were assigned to flushing (n = 32) or biopsy (n = 33) treatments 6 days after AI, which resulted in pregnancy rates of 31% and 36%, respectively (p > 0.1). In Experiment 3, cows were, 6 days after TAI, randomly assigned to the following treatments: control (n = 84) or aspiration of the largest follicle (n = 73). Pregnancy rates on day 30 post AI were 63.5% for the control group and 53% for the aspirated group (p > 0.1). In conclusion, uterine flushing and endometrial biopsy negatively affect pregnancy rates, but neither procedure can be considered to be incompatible with pregnancy maintenance. Follicular aspiration during pregnancy does not interact with pregnancy success. The amount and quality of samples obtained are compatible with the use of cellular and molecular analysis of uterine variables from cows that failed or succeeded on maintaining pregnancy. 相似文献

The experimental fragmentation of landscapes of a natural ecosystem resulted in declines in the abundance and distribution of most species in the multispecies animal community inhabiting the landscapes and the extinction of many species. These declines caused the deterioration of the positive interspecific relation between local population abundance and distributional extent in this community. However, when patches were connected by habitat corridors, an immigration "rescue effect" arrested declines in both abundance and distribution and maintained the observed positive relation between them. These results demonstrate the importance of metapopulation dynamics and landscape connectivity for the persistence of populations in fragmented landscapes. 相似文献

The study was conducted in three regional states of Ethiopia: Amhara, Oromia, and Addis Ababa from August 2008 to April 2009
with the objectives of identifying the genetic diversity of serotypes and topotypes in Ethiopia, and determining the attack
rate and associations of potential risk factors with foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) seropositivity. A total of 496 cattle were
clinically and serologically examined for presence of specific lesions and nonstructural protein for FMD, respectively. Of
which, 140 (28.2%) manifested clinical signs and lesions suggestive of FMD, and 219 (44.2%) were seropositive. From a total
of 7,781 animals observed and recorded on a designed format in six districts, 1,409 (19.6%) were infected, and 15 (0.12%)
died during outbreaks of FMD. Epidemiological investigations revealed that the morbidity rate of the disease was 21.1% in
Akaki-kality sub-city, but the mortality rate was <2% in all districts. Furthermore, the mortality and case fatality rates
were relatively higher, 1.6% and 8.9% in calves than the other age groups, respectively. From a total of 33 bovine epithelial
tissue-cultured samples, 19 (57.6%) showed CPE for FMD virus, in which 16 samples had serotype O and EA-3 topotype, while
three samples had found serotype A, Africa topotype, and G-VII strain. Various strains of FMD viruses were isolated in Ethiopia
in this study, and therefore, further detailed studies on the evaluation of available vaccines and the development of a vaccine
which contains cocktails of antigens of FMD virus strains in the country should be encouraged. 相似文献

This study was carried out with the aim of identifying types of gross and histopathological lesions in lungs of camels slaughtered
between October 2009 and April 2010 at Addis Ababa abattoir enterprise, Ethiopia. All camels were originated from Borana and
Kereyu areas. A total of 387 slaughtered camel lungs were inspected during the study period. Of which, one or more gross lesions
were encountered on 300 lungs. Lesions were further subjected for detail gross and histopathological examinations. The occurrence
of pulmonary lesions was 77.5%. The gross and histopathological examination of these lesions had revealed 60.2% emphysema,
21.2% hydatidosis, 18.6% pneumonia, 10.6% atelectasis, 4.9% aspiration of blood, 3.9% pneumoconiosis, 2.6% pulmonary edema
and congestion, 1.6% abscess, 1% pleurisy, and 0.8% granulomatous pneumonia. Most camels had one or more pulmonary lesions
on postmortem examination, but they were apparently healthy during antemortem inspection. Therefore, the prevailing stressful
environmental condition coupled with the existing poor level of veterinary service in camel-rearing areas of the country might
reverse these hidden inactive lesions and thereby contributed for the higher occurrence of respiratory diseases in camels. 相似文献
