高尔夫球手地方依恋符号性元素的识别与运用

运用隐喻抽取技术对高尔夫球手地方依恋的符号性元素进行了识别与定量研究。结果表明,高尔夫球手地方依恋有22个符号性元素,这些元素可分为风格、地理、参与、接待和文化五类,它们给球手带来"友谊"、"健康"、"愉悦"、"品质高"、"风景美"的终极体验。经营者要充分利用符号性元素的意义,着重打造球场基础设施、园林景观、服务接待和球会文化;积极挖掘联结构念的耦合价值,实现球手与球场的符号互动;主动创设高尔夫球手游憩氛围情境,避免球手地方依恋的中断或转移;结合球会自身特点,适时进行符号化运作。     

Comparison of three types of adhesives in attaching coral transplants to clam shell substrates

• 1. Nubbins from 12 coral species were transplanted onto dead giant clam shells at three sites in a lagoon near Bolinao, north‐western Philippines. Transplants were attached using three types of adhesives: cyanoacrylate glue (SG), epoxy putty (EP) and marine epoxy (ME) and were monitored over five months for detachment, in situ mortality and natural self‐attachment by tissue growth.
• 2. Corals attached with SG showed a significantly higher rate of detachment (logrank test) than those attached with either EP or ME (P<0.001 in each case). Also, those attached with EP showed a higher rate of detachment than corals attached with ME (logrank=6.46, P<0.05).
• 3. ANOVA (P>0.05) and survival analysis (logrank=2.85, P>0.05) showed no among‐adhesives differences in in situ mortality. Among the species used, Porites cylindrica, Pavona frondifera, Heliopora coerulea and Porites rus had the highest survivorship with 82%, 80%, 76% and 73%, respectively, of nubbins alive at the end of the experiment and also displayed the highest cumulative rates of self‐attachment. Species with the lowest survival rates included Acropora muricata and four pocilloporids.
• 4. Although there was no significant difference in the number of self‐attaching transplants among the adhesives, corals transplanted using ME and EP self‐attached earlier than those transplanted using SG (logrank=11.19, P<0.01).
• 5. Results from this study highlight the importance of selecting the appropriate means of attaching corals to substrates and carefully considering species‐specific traits of candidate corals for transplantation.

基于太阳能驱动的遥控移动草坪割草装置的设计

为了解决传统割草机污染严重、噪音大、劳动强度大等问题,设计了一套太阳能驱动遥控移动草坪割草装置.该装置主要由太阳能能源动力系统、控制系统、四轮驱动部分和切割收集部分组成.其主要特征是利用太阳能作为动力源,实现割草装置的正常运行;通过采用无线遥控代替传统的手推式操作方式,并以STC89C52单片机为控制核心部件,利用C语言编制控制程序,实现对草坪修整的远距离运动控制;通过改进传统割草机的切割收集方式,设计切割—收集—体化装置,利用刀片旋转的离心力作用,将割下的草甩到收集箱,提高了工作效率,减轻了劳动强度.     

地方依恋中植物景观因素对人类情感的作用

指出了地方依恋是描述人与地方之间的积极情感,它包括地方依赖和地方认同.回顾国内外的地方依恋的研究,人们在与某个地方的长期互动过程中,发展出对该地的依恋.由于目前地方依恋影响因素中的植物景观因素研究较少,因而提出了可通过对植物景观色彩、气味、植物形态、季相变化以及植物不同的观赏部位等的讨论来阐述植物景观与地方依恋关系;在...     

罗氏沼虾胚胎附着机制的初步研究

甲壳动物十足目的大多数种类,其受精卵自产出后就附着于亲体腹部,并完成胚胎发育过程直至孵化,这对于胚胎的发育、保护和幼体散布有重要的生物学意义。胚胎的附着机制较为复杂,与刚毛、卵柄、卵索、卵膜和黏液腺有关:卵柄和卵索的形成决定了胚胎发育的顺利进行;卵膜的变化影响着胚胎的附着;黏液腺在胚胎附着过程中形成卵柄和外层卵膜,胚胎是依靠卵柄或卵索附着于腹肢的刚毛上,进而完成胚胎发育过程。本研究采用常规组织学和扫描电镜的方法研究了罗氏沼虾(Macrobrachium rosenbergii)胚胎及其附着结构。结果表明,胚胎附着与母体腹肢的结构、黏液腺分泌的黏液相关,也与胚胎表面结构、次级卵膜的形态和结构密切相关。原肢底节和内肢刚毛密而长,基部有细小的分支,有利于胚胎的附着,外肢刚毛羽状则有利于胚胎的托附和保护。抱卵雌虾腹肢的原肢和内肢上布满腹肢黏液腺分泌的黏液;携卵刚毛中空、壁厚,刚毛外壁由微绒毛状结构组成,扩大了携卵刚毛的表面积,以利胚胎附着。胚胎外表面由初级卵膜和次级卵膜组成,次级卵膜主要由卵巢黏液腺分泌的黏液参与形成。排卵时,受精卵依靠坚韧的次级卵膜相互粘连,同时,部分受精卵在刚毛上滑动、旋转,并借助次级卵膜逐渐形成了卵柄或卵索固着在腹肢刚毛上。从受精卵到胚胎孵化,胚胎之间最主要的连接方式是依靠次级卵膜的连接。胚胎的表面有许多褶皱和黏液,利于胚胎的附着以及胚胎对溶氧和小分子物质等的通透。以上结构与附着相适应,保证了胚胎发育的顺利进行和幼体的正常孵化。本研究旨为进一步认识甲壳动物胚胎附着机制、胚胎发育和人工育苗的研究提供参考。[中国水产科学,2007,14(1):67-73]     

Screening for periodontal disease in research dogs - a methodology study

Background

It has been shown that the prevalence of both clinical attachment loss (CAL) ≥1 mm and pocket probing depth (PPD) ≥4 mm is relatively high even in younger dogs, but also that only a minority of the dogs have such clinical signs of periodontal disease (PD) in more than a few teeth. Hence, a minority of dogs carry the major PD burden. These epidemiological features suggest that screening for PD in larger groups of dogs, allowing for rapid assessment of treatment planning, or for the selection of dogs with or without PD prior to be included in experimental trials, should be possible. CAL is the central variable in assessing PD extent and severity while PPD is the central variable used in treatment planning which make these two variables obvious in a screening protocol with the dual aim of disease identification and treatment planning. The main purpose of the present study in 98 laboratory Beagle dogs was to construct a fast, simple and accurate screening tool, which is highly sensitive for the identification of dogs with PD.

Results

Examination of the maxillary P4, P3, P2, I1 and C would, in this population, result in the identification of 85.5% of all dogs and 96% of all teeth positive for CAL ≥1 mm, and 58.9% of all dogs and 82.1% of all teeth positive for PD ≥4 mm.Examination of tooth pairs, all C’s, maxillary I2, M2 and the mandibular P4 would, in this population result in identification of 92.9% of all dogs and 97.3% of all teeth positive for PD ≥4 mm, and 65.5% of all dogs and 83.2% of all teeth positive for CAL ≥1 mm. The results presented here only pertain to the present study population.

Conclusions

This screening protocol is suitable for examination of larger groups of laboratory Beagle dogs for PD and our findings indicate that diseased dogs are identified with a high degree of sensitivity. Before this screening can be used in clinical practice, it has to be validated in breeds other than Beagle dogs and in populations with larger age variation.     

A method for the attachment of miniature radio tags to small fish

Abstract An attachment technique which gives good tag retention, minimal damage to fish and prevents entanglement with weed is described. Fish carrying transmitters were monitored in semi-natural conditions and appeared to exhibit the same behaviour as untagged fish. Median condition factors of dummy-tagged fish did not differ from those of untagged fish over a 10-week period. Examples of movement patterns obtained using radio tags attached to dace, Leuciscus leuciscus (L.) are given.     

核基质结合区与转基因植物的基因表达

核基质结合区(matrixattachmentregions,MARs)是真核细胞染色质中能与核基质结合的一段DNA序列.当MARs位于外源基因两侧时,能够使转基因植株高效、稳定表达,说明MARs是消除植物转基因沉默的一条可行途径.本文综述了MARs的研究进展,认为MARs的研究与利用对获得高效、稳定的转基因禾谷类作物具有重要的意义.     

一段烟草核基质结合区的分离及对转基因表达的效果

 采用PCR方法，从烟草基因组中分离了一段核基质结合区（matrix attachment region，MAR），将其构建到β-葡糖醛酸酶（β-glucuronidase，GUS）基因（uidA）的两侧翼，形成MARs调控的植物表达载体，将此表达载体与不含MARs序列的植物表达载体通过农杆菌转化烟草。对转基因植株进行GUS活性定量测定，结果表明，MAR可以提高外源uidA基因的表达水平，与不含MAR的转化植株相比，外源基因的平均表达水平提高了1.5倍，最高达6倍，但MAR的引入不能降低转基因植株个体间表达水平的差异。
