植物种群的监测

阐明了植物的基本种群单位的特征，并对它们进行了遗传学和生态－－种群统计学分析。指出用于局部水平的种群监测的最适宜基本单位有两个，即种群和生境种群。提出了专家信息系统，该系统可用监测中的信息积累、评价植物种群状态和预测种群的发展前景。     

奶牛热应激的预防

1 奶牛的热应激 　　奶牛具有耐寒畏热的特性.奶牛生产环境的最适温度为10～16℃,处于这一温度段的奶牛饲料利用率最高,产奶量也最高.奶牛对体温调节的能力有限,因为奶牛单位体重的表面积较小,同时奶牛是以粗饲料为主,且采食量大,热增量也较大,1头日产奶20 kg的母牛比干奶牛的热量高50%,产奶量越高,产热越多.采食量和乳的合成也会增加,均会导致产热增加.当外界环境气温高时,就不利于身体的散热,因而表现出一些应激性症状.     

高级乳蛋白粉新工艺及其在提高脱脂酸奶质量上的应用

本文介绍了应用膜超滤和分离过滤技术在较低温度下生产高级乳蛋白粉的方法。该方法改变了以往生产乳蛋白粉需要调节乳中ＰＨ的方法。既节能源、降低热耗，能在较低的温度下操作喷粉，又能减少蛋白质变性的问题。     

Equine laryngeal hemiplegia. Part V. Central nervous system pathology

Evidence of long central nerve fibre degeneration (axonal spheroids) in the lateral cuneate nuclei was found in all eight Thoroughbreds affected clinically and subclinically with equine laryngeal hemiplegia, but in only one of six control animals. It was considered that these spheroids may signify a central nervous component of the disease process of laryngeal hemiplegia although until further investigations are performed no firm conclusions regarding the relationship of these findings with laryngeal hemiplegia could be made. Examination of the left and right nucleus ambiguus of clinical and subclinical laryngeal hemiplegic horses revealed no pathological alterations.     

A review and some observations on stringhalt

A review of the literature on stringhalt in horses is presented, including the aetiology, clinical signs, pathology and treatment of this disease. Three New Zealand outbreaks of stringhalt are reported and discussed. The occurrence of these (and most previously reported outbreaks) in the late summer and autumn, and the association of the disease with various weeds, indicates a likely toxic aetiology.     

Roaring in Clydesdales

An endoscopic survey was performed to assess arytenoid cartilage movement during quiet respiration in 48 Clydesdale horses. Physical characteristics which could influence the length of the recurrent laryngeal nerves were also recorded from these horses and the relationship of these characteristics to the presence of abnormal left arytenoid cartilage movements was assessed statistically. Some degree of abnormal arytenoid movement was observed in 50% of the animals over one year of age. No significant correlation between sex, age, estimated weight, height, or neck length could be found although affected animals were, on average, slightly taller, lighter and longer necked.     

Simulating the adsorption of alkanes in zeolites

The configurational-bias Monte Carlo technique is applied to simulate the adsorption of long chain alkanes in zeolites. This simulation technique is several orders of magnitude more efficient than conventional methods that can be used to simulate the adsorption of long chain alkanes. The calculated heats of adsorption are found to be in excellent agreement with experimental data. The results show a surprising chain length dependence of the heats of adsorption. This dependence has a simple molecular explanation in terms of preferential siting of the long chain alkanes.
