Effects of Water Depth and Water Flow Duration on Growth and Survival of Juvenile Spotted Babylon (Babylonia areolata) Cultured in a Flow-Through System

Eight growth trials of juvenile B. areolata at different water depths (20 and 50 cm) and water flow durations (6, 12, 18, and 24 h) were conducted in a flow-through culture system over 5 months. One-way ANOVA performed on each growth data set showed that there were significant differences among water depth (WD) and water flow duration (WFD) treatments (P < 0.05). The highest weight gain (6.29 g /snail) was found in snails reared in the treatment of WD₅₀ /WFD₂₄, followed by those from WD₅₀ /WFD₁₈ (6.15 g/snail), WD₅₀/WFD₁₂ (5.90 g/snail), WD₅₀ /WFD₆ (5.83 g/snail), WD₂₀ /WFD₂₄ (5.86 g/snail), and WD₂₀ /WFD₁₈ (5.87 g /snail), while the lowest one was found in WD₂₀ /WFD₆ (5.52 g/snail) and WD₂₀ /WFD₁₂ (5.57 g/snail). The relative weight gain (RWG) and individual weight gain (IWG) of the snails showed similar trends as the weight gain. Final survival exceeded 95% for all treatments. Based on all criteria, the best growth performances of juvenile spotted babylon were found in the WD₅₀ /WFD₁₈ and WD₅₀ /WFD₂₄ treatments, followed by the treatments of WD₅₀/WFD₁₂, WD₅₀ /WFD₆, WD₂₀ /WFD₂₄, and WD₂₀ /WFD₁₈; the lowest growth was found in WD₂₀ /WFD₆ and WD₂₀ /WFD₁₂.

旋流泵的流动规律

对80X-13.5型旋流泵进行了数值模拟计算,泵内部流动区域选用Pro/E造型,用Gambit软件采用分块非结构六面体网格划分方法对模型进行网格划分及部分边界条件的设定,运用雷诺平均N-S方程和标准k-ε双方程湍流模型结合SIMPLEC算法,来数值模拟旋流泵内部三维不可压湍流场.数值模拟计算选取工作介质为清水,并认为是牛顿流体且局部各向同性;认为旋流泵的内部流场是以定常角速度绕固定轴的旋转流场,属于复杂的三维不可压湍流流动.数值模拟得出了旋流泵内的速度和全压分布图,并试分析出了旋流泵的内部流动区域分布.分析认为,周向流动是旋流泵内部的主体流动趋势,旋流泵内部流动状态可归结为贯通流和循环流.数值模拟的结果验证了已有流动模型的正确性,并且在数值模拟基础上重新划分的流动区域可以反映清水条件下80X-13.5型旋流泵的内部流动情况,可为此种泵型旋流泵的设计提供参考.     

Effect of plastic mulch on water flow and herbicide transport in soil cultivated with pineapple crop: A modeling study

In Hawaii, pineapple is typically grown in raised beds covered with impervious plastic mulch. Field measurements of a commonly used herbicide (bromacil) mass beneath mulch-covered pineapple beds and inter-bed open areas revealed that open areas contained a mass of bromacil about 3.5 times greater than was originally applied, based on label instructions, to the entire field. The broadcast bromacil ended up in the inter-bed open areas through water runoff from the plastic mulch covering the pineapple beds. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of surficial management on water dynamics and bromacil concentration in the soil on a pineapple plantation using the one- (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) flow and transport models. Flow and transport processes were simulated in a 2D vertical cross-section perpendicular to the plant rows. The 1D simulation was limited to the open inter-bed areas. Several simulation scenarios were proposed to evaluate the effect of plastic mulch on bromacil transport in soil. In our simplified approach, the water and solute boundary fluxes for the non-covered areas were increased to simulate the water and solute contribution from the plastic mulch surface. The simulation results were compared with field observations of soil water potentials and resident bromacil concentration profiles. The field and laboratory-measured hydraulic and transport parameters were used for all simulation scenarios. Reasonably good agreement between the model-predicted and observed soil water potentials and bromacil concentration profiles was obtained. Biased 1D and 2D results were predicted when the water runoff from plastic mulch was neglected. The 1D approach to quantify bromacil transport beneath the inter-bed open areas seemed to be sufficient in case the water runoff from the mulch was taken into account.

不同湍流模型在轴流泵性能预测中的应用

为了评价不同湍流模型在轴流泵性能预测中的精度,该文以南水北调工程轴流泵模型作为研究对象,分别选取了3种湍流模型标准k-ε湍流模型(standard k-ε)、重正化群k-ε湍流模型(renormalization group k-ε,RNG)和雷诺应力模型(reynolds stress model,RSM),基于SIMPLE算法(semi-implicit method for pressure-linked equations)和结构化网格,进行了轴流泵性能预测和全流场数值模拟,并以水利部天津同台测试的试验结果作为基准对预测扬程和效率进行了误差分析。研究结果表明,网格密度对模拟结果具有较大影响,较疏的网格导致性能预测精度降低,在大流量和小流量工况下预测的扬程和效率误差将达到3%以上;在最优工况下,Standard k-ε、RNG k-ε和RSM湍流模型的扬程预测误差分别为0.97%、1.12%和1.24%,效率预测误差分别为2.93%、2.49%和2.97%,可满足工程应用要求;但在非设计工况下,由于二次回流、空化等复杂流动的存在,内部流场复杂,3种湍流模型的扬程最大预测误差范围为9.40%～14.30%,效率最大预测误差范围为4.48%～8.30%。该结论将为轴流泵性能预测的可靠性提供依据。     

抗除草剂转基因油菜向杂草诸葛菜的潜在基因漂移

以抗除草剂草甘膦和草丁膦转基因油菜为父本 ,诸葛菜为母本 ,在人工授粉条件下研究抗性基因向诸葛菜的潜在基因漂移。采用荧光显微镜观察转基因油菜花粉在诸葛菜柱头上的萌发生长情况 ,并与诸葛菜自花授粉的情况进行比较。结果显示 2种转基因油菜花粉在诸葛菜柱头上的萌发生长情况类似。花粉粘合的数量比自交时显著减少 ,出现粘合延迟现象 ;花粉在柱头上不能正常萌发生长 ,有的呈现明显的畸形 ,花粉管不能穿过乳突细胞 ,更不能进入花柱和胚囊发生受精 ,这些结果表明两者的亲和性较差。授转基因油菜的花粉后诸葛菜不能结实也进一步证明了两者的亲和性较差。上述结果表明抗除草剂转基因油菜的抗性基因向诸葛菜漂移的可能性较小。
