Salvinia plants in trade: what species are we actually talking about?

Incorrect labelling of plants in trade and misidentification are widespread. Likewise, in trade numerous names are being used for the ornamental aquatic plant known as ‘Kariba weed’, but rarely the correct scientific name Salvinia molesta Mitch. For inspection services of EPPO member countries, correct identification of S. molesta has become important since the species was added to the EPPO A2 List and the List of Union concern in accordance with EU regulation 1143/2014 based on an EPPO Pest Risk Analysis (PRA) for the species. Inspections and a targetted survey of Salvinia plants in trade in the Netherlands were performed and additional material was obtained from wild sources in South Africa, Hungary and the United States. Specimen identification was verified by comparison with the herbarium collection at Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden and with the sequences available in NCBI GenBank database. This paper provides the tools to correctly identity the relevant Salvinia species.     

关于做好农业和农村节水工作的几点思考

农业用水占我国用水总量的 70 % ,开展和推进农业节水 ,是建立节水型社会的关键 ,也是实现我国水资源可持续利用的内在要求。要做好农业和农村节水工作 ,应当十分重视“预测预报、水资源保障、城乡供水、水污染防治、防洪减灾、计量监测、技术推广、投融资、抗旱服务、政策法规”等十大体系的建立和建设     

An Improved Method of the Transient Waveform Analysis in Power Systems

The angular frequency and decaying constant of each copmonect for the transient waveform in power systems were obtained by using the discrete Fourier transform; the amplitude and phase angle were calculated in the linear curve fitting method. And all of the parameters obtained above were treated in an unified optimization by using the curve fitting optimization of the least square method of general nonlinear funcrion so as to get the results of waveform analysis. Two examples are included.

p38MAPK信号通路选择性调节FSH对甾体生成 的诱导作用研究

利用乙烯雌酚（DES）处理23日龄SD大鼠，分离卵巢颗粒细胞(GC)进行无血清培养。结果表明，FSH (50ng/m1) 处理GC，可迅速激活有丝分裂原蛋白激酶（p38 MAPK），FSH处理5min便可观察到磷酸化的p38 MAPK；FSH处理30min，磷酸化的p38 MAPK水平达到最高;向培养液中加入H89(蛋白激酶A抑制剂，10μM)，则显著抑制了FSH对p38 MAPK的激活作用，提示这种激活作用依赖于蛋白激酶A(PKA)。用 SB203580(p38MAPK抑制剂，20μM)抑制p38 MAPK激活，则进一步提高了FSH对孕酮和甾体生成快速调节蛋白（StAR）的诱导作用，同时降低了FSH对雌激素生成的促进作用(p<0.01)。RT-PCR结果显示：抑制p38 MAPK活性后，FSH对StAR mRNA刺激作用明显增强，但对细胞色素P450芳香化酶（P450arom）mRNA的诱导作用却减弱了(p<0.05)。激光共聚焦和蛋白印迹结果显示：在GC中，StAR蛋白主要分布在线粒体中；与对照组相比，FSH显著提高了StAR的荧光强度和蛋白水平；抑制p38MAPK活性则增强了FSH对StAR蛋白表达的诱导作用。     

A MIMD PARALLEL ALGORITHM TO SOLVE TRIDIAGONAL TOEPLITZ LINEAR EQUATIONS

The rank one updating formula and the parallel eliminating algorithm for linear recurrence systems ane combined fo form a MTMD parallel algorithm fo solve tridiagonal Toeplitz Cinear equations. This algorithm has a simple strictire and requires onlty a few storages as well as in-terprocessor communications. There is no special demand on the number of processors in the parallel system. The speedup can come dose to p12 comparing with the LU decomposition method (p is the number of processors). It is worth pointing out that it is proposed algcmthn that considels and organizes the parallel arithmetic in the first order linear ricurrence systems with constant coefficients.
