Underwater sound detection by cephalopod statocyst

Abstract:   The cephalopod receptor of particle motion was identified. In a previous study, it was suggested that statocysts served this function, but there was no direct supporting evidence, and epidermal hair cells had not been conclusively ruled out. Experiments on Octopus ocellatus were conducted using respiratory activity as an indicator of sound perception. Intact animals clearly responded to 141-Hz particle motion at particle accelerations below 1.3 × 10⁻³ m/s², and the mean perception threshold at this frequency was approximately 6.0 × 10⁻⁴ m/s². Specimens in which the statoliths had been surgically removed did not show any response for accelerations up to 3.9 × 10⁻³ m/s² at 141 Hz, which was approximately 16 dB greater than the mean perception threshold at this frequency. Specimens that had undergone a control operation in which the statoliths remained intact showed positive responses at 2.8 × 10⁻³ m/s² for the same frequency stimulus. This indicates that the statocyst, which is morphologically similar to the inner ear system in fish, is responsible for the observed responses to particle motion in O. ocellatus . This is the first direct evidence that cephalopods detect kinetic sound components using statocysts.

以香菇(Lentinula edodes)工厂化生产品种沪香F2为供试菌株,以香菇生产常用配方(78%木屑,20%麸皮,2%石膏)为基础培养料,以菌丝生长速度、子实体产量、单菇重、出菇期、生物学效率以及菇型等为筛选指标,考察不同木屑颗粒度配比对工厂化压块条件下香菇生产的影响。结果表明:颗粒度组合M3(K1∶1.5mm以下,K2∶1.5~3.0mm,K3∶3.0~8.0mm;K1∶K2∶K3=1∶1∶1)的菌丝生长速度最快[(5.2±0.8)mm/d],单菇重最大[(27.1±1.0)g],产量较高[(178.7±3.6)g],菇型好,第一潮菇生物转化率可达到40.8%,生产周期可控制在100d以内,适合于在工厂化条件下应用。     

Kernel vitreousness and protein content: Relationship,interaction and synergistic effects on durum wheat quality

Four sets of durum samples were used in this study to further understand the interrelationships among hard vitreous kernels (HVK), protein content, and pigment concentration, with a focus on the interaction and synergistic effects of protein content and vitreousness on durum quality. HVK level increases with higher protein content in the range of 9.5–12.5%, but this relationship is less evident in durum samples with high protein content (12.5–14.5%). Both protein content and kernel vitreousness can significantly affect durum milling quality. White starchy kernels (WSK) in low protein durum have a very detrimental impact on milling and pasta processing quality, but high protein content can mitigate the adverse impact of WSK on durum quality. Although protein content plays a dominant role, higher HVK might contribute positively to pasta firmness. There was no significant difference in yellow pigment content between HVK and WSK. However, pigment loss from semolina to dough was higher for WSK than HVK. Despite the difference in protein content, HVK and WSK have little difference in gluten strength. The monomeric protein was preferentially accumulated in HVK. The glutenin proteins of HVK and WSK were similar in the ratios of 1Bx/1By and HMW/LMW-GS.     

办公建筑中空调形式对室内外PM2.5浓度相关性的影响

室外PM2.5可通过新风及围护结构缝隙渗透至室内,室外PM2.5较高时尤为明显,结果导致室内空气中的PM2.5浓度上升。为了研究空调形式对室内外PM2.5浓度相关性的影响,在2015年夏季对重庆某办公建筑中采用不同空调形式的室内外PM2.5浓度进行了实测。实测结果发现：集中式空调、分体式空调和非空调房间室内外PM2.5浓度比变化范围分别为0.59～0.76、0.47～0.76、0.71～0.91。室内外PM2.5浓度相关性系数的排序为：集中式空调环境（0.94）> 非空调环境（0.92）> 分体式空调环境（0.77）,研究结果表明,办公建筑的空调形式,对室内外PM2.5浓度的相关性有影响。     

D形截面螺旋输送机输送颗粒物料的实验研究

在可控转速的情况下运输粉末或者颗粒等松散物料时,因其机构简单,螺旋输送机被广泛应用于林业、农业等多种背景下的短距离提升或水平运输物料。为此,采用实验方法,针对改进后的D形截面筒的输送机进行输送颗粒物料的研究,结果表明:输送的质量流速率随着输送转速的增加而增加,随输送角度的增大而降低。另外,螺距和颗粒物料的粒径也对质量流速率有影响:大螺距的输送质量流速率较大,且随着输送倾斜角度的增大,螺距对质量流速率的影响减小;大颗粒的质量流速率大于小颗粒,且随着输送倾斜角度增加差距增大。     

农田土壤颗粒尺寸分布分维及颗粒体积分数的空间变异性

盐渍土膜下滴灌过程中的土壤理化性质存在空间变异性,对灌溉管理有一定影响。该文根据3个不同尺度下土壤采样及颗粒尺寸分布（PSD）测定结果,探讨了土壤PSD分维和颗粒体积分数之间的定量关系,分析了各尺度和综合尺度下土壤PSD分维和颗粒体积分数的经典统计特征和地质统计特征,根据颗粒体积分数的半方差函数计算了不同尺度颗粒体积分数的分形维,并做出了等值线图。研究表明,土壤PSD分维与黏粒的体积分数呈正相关关系,黏粒体积分数增大引起PSD分维增加的原因在于细颗粒的比表面积比粗颗粒的大;各尺度土壤PSD分维及颗粒体积分数均无强变异特征;不同尺度下土壤PSD分形维的半方差函数中块金和基台值均非常低;50 m尺度土壤PSD分维和黏粒体积分数的等值线图具有类似的集中度和走势,而砂粒体积分数和粉粒体积分数则具有相反的集中度和走势。该研究说明土壤PSD分维和颗粒体积分数都有一定的尺度依赖性。

以泾惠渠灌区为例,针对井渠结合灌区地下水超采及地下水位上升而导致的农田灌溉水环境等问题,从水位调控水量的角度出发,提出了基于地下水位合理埋深的水资源调控模式。在确定不同水文地质单元和不同植被类型条件下地下水位合理埋深上下限的基础上,结合PSO-RBF神经网络对地下水位埋深预测的结果,设计了基本、节水两种水资源联合方案,对不同保证率下的灌区水资源进行了联合调控。结果表明:泾惠渠灌区地下水位合理埋深上限介于1.76~3.50m,下限介于8.7~25.0m,不同水文地质单元、植被类型的水位埋深上下限值差异较大;水资源联合调控时,局部地区出现地下水超采,需加强节水灌溉和多水源的联合调控。     

黄土堆积体植物篱减沙效益与泥沙颗粒分形特征研究

为探究植物篱措施对工程堆积体边坡的减流减沙效益及其对侵蚀泥沙颗粒分形维数的影响,以堆积体未防护边坡为对照,以不同放水流量对不同坡度堆积体植物篱防护边坡进行了放水冲刷试验。结果表明:与对照相比,植物篱边坡初始产流时间滞后100~500 s,其产流率、产沙率整体均较小,产流率在时间尺度上表现为间歇性波动上升;植物篱减流效率在4%~60%之间,减沙效率范围在15%~50%之间,减流减沙效率均随坡度和放水流量的增加呈幂函数形式减小;各处理侵蚀泥沙颗粒中粉粒均占主导地位,黏粒次之,砂粒含量最少。与对照小区相比,植物篱防护边坡侵蚀泥沙砂粒体积分数降低,黏粒和粉粒体积分数升高;黏粒富集率增加,砂粒富集率减小,泥沙颗粒分形维数增大。分形维数与黏粒和砂粒体积分数之间均呈极显著线性相关,侵蚀泥沙颗粒分形维数主要由黏粒体积分数决定。
