森林水文生态效应及在川西亚高山针叶林群落中的研究

水资源亏缺是世界各国政府和科学家们普遍关注的热点问题，而森林在涵养水源、调节水量、减少径流泥沙、降低洪峰、改善水质等方面具有重要的功能，因此森林水文生态效应研究成为生态学家和水文学家们共同关注的焦点。迄今为止，有关森林水文生态效应的研究主要包括集水区森林水文生态效应、水土保持林水文生态效应和森林水文生态效益研究。川西亚高山针叶林位于长江上游青藏高原东缘，在水土保持和调节流域水量平衡等方面具有重要的生态功能。但迄今为止，有关川西亚高山针叶林水文生态效应的研究较少，主要为短期的、定性的、简单观测，这与其在长江流域水量平衡调节中的作用和地位极不相称。因此，建议在未来的研究中，从生态系统过程的角度加强以下研究：森林流域对径流影响的内在机理、不同树种水文生态效应及对比研究和养分循环及水质方面的研究，另外，因为气候、植被和水文密切相关，而且川西亚高山森林是对全球气候变化最敏感的地区之一，所以有必要探讨大气中CO2浓度升高等对森林水文生态效应的影响。     

Formation of proviruses in acute infection in vitro and in vivo

Summary Formation of DNA proviruses of RNA viruses, Sendai and Newcastle disease, was studied. DNA provirus of NDV was shown to be formed in mouse L-cells and Sendai DNA provirus in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells within 2–3 days post infection.     

New intermediates in phaeomelanogenesis in vitro

Riassunto Mediante esperimenti in vitro, è stato accertato che i primi stadi della biosintesi delle feomelanine conducono alla formazione di derivati diidrobenzotiazinici, ai quali sono state assegnate le strutture III e IV.

Periodicity in body temperature in man

Summary Body temperatures and self-assessed mood scales were recorded for 7 weeks or more by male volunteers. Auto-correlations of temperatures from the 21 subjects show evidence of a significant peak at the 20-day-interval. The self-assessed measure of Alertness (from 18 of them) also shows some evidence of rhythmicity, at the 22-day-period.
