Fourth World Conference on Women: the Namibian perspective

This consideration of some of the issues raised at the Fourth World Conference on Women (WCW) from a Namibian perspective begins by mentioning the pernicious nature of domestic violence and briefly summarizing some of the main points raised at a 1994 symposium on domestic violence. The discussion continues by noting that Namibia's report for the WCW reaffirms that it is crucial for women to be involved in the decision-making process at all levels. Next, the paper notes that traditional male attributes of strength are losing their importance in a world that values mental alertness, intuition, and traditional female qualities of love and service. This has led to a call for a transformation of society supported by the education of women and their economic empowerment. The essay ends by defining an empowered person as possessing a belief in the ability of human intervention to change the world, a sense of self-worth, a sense of the self as a viable agent of change, and a notion of what constitutes a better life.     

缺氧对脑星状细胞GAPDH和β—Actin基因表达的影响

目的：样本ＲＮＡ加样量的差异是影响Ｎｏｒｔｈｅｒｎ杂交ＲＮＡ分析和反转录ＰＣＲ（ＲＴ－ＰＣＲ）半定量分析的重要因素。因５－磷酸甘油醛脱氢酶（ＧＡＰＤＨ）和β肌动蛋白（β－ａｃｔｉｎ）ｍＲＮＡ水平一般相对恒定,常用于基因表达研究时样本加样量的校正。但有报道表明某些因素对ＧＡＰＤＨ和β－ａｃｔｉｎ的ｍＲＮＡ水平有一定影响。脑星状细胞（ＡＣ）是近年来神经科学的研究热点之一,有关其基因的研究得到广泛的重视     

静电陀螺寻北仪的力学原理

静电陀螺仪是当今世界上精度最高的陀螺仪,研制静电陀螺寻北仪是为了寻求高精度的方位测量仪器。采用静电陀螺仪组成寻北仪可采用以下两种方式：力反馈方式和自由陀螺方式。前者水平方向包含两个力反馈回路,通过测量反馈回路电流得出方位角。后者陀螺自由转动数分钟,通过测量静电陀螺水平轴偏角得出方位角。该文讨论了力反馈方式和自由陀螺方式静电陀螺寻北仪力学原理,其中包括两种方式下坐标变换及获得方位角的算法推导,并得出结论。     

静电陀螺寻北仪中的磁干扰

电磁兼容性的问题尤其对采用静电陀螺作为核心元件的高精度寻北仪越来越显得重要。有关静电陀螺的文献对于静电干扰讨论较多,本文则侧重对静电陀螺寻北仪中的磁干扰进行讨论。磁干扰包括外部磁干扰和内部磁干扰,外部磁干扰可通过严格的电磁屏蔽加以排除,对于内部磁干扰本文推导了有关数学关系式,必要时可以加以补偿。     

超滤法分级和纯化蛋白质的现状和前景(英文)

超滤法具有高产率、低成本、容易放大等显著优点,但其低选择性一直限制其在生物蛋白制品的分级和纯化中的应用。本文总结和分析了超滤法用于蛋白质分级和纯化的近期研究成果,对其低选择性的原因进行了分析,提出并论证了提高超滤选择性的技术途径。     

A massive phytoplankton bloom induced by an ecosystem-scale iron fertilization experiment in the equatorial Pacific Ocean

The seeding of an expanse of surface waters in the equatorial Pacific Ocean with low concentrations of dissolved iron triggered a massive phytoplankton bloom which consumed large quantities of carbon dioxide and nitrate that these microscopic plants cannot fully utilize under natural conditions. These and other observations provide unequivocal support for the hypothesis that phytoplankton growth in this oceanic region is limited by iron bioavailability.     

今年的“厄尔尼诺”有可能成为世纪之最

近6个月来,太平洋的热带水域一直在扩散,从国际日期变更线蔓延到了南美洲沿海。气象学家对此一直非常关注,密切跟踪着它的变化,因为这就是能够在大气和海洋中翻云覆雨的"厄尔尼诺"现象。而且,有迹象表明,眼下的"厄尔尼诺"现象正在积蓄力量,有可能在未来的几个月内给世界天气带来巨大的变化。热带风暴频频造访墨西哥、智利和秘鲁,使之大雨不断,澳大利亚和印度尼西亚干旱少雨......科学家认为,种种迹象表明,强大的"厄尔尼诺"已经左右了世界天气。本年度的"厄尔尼诺"很可能使本世纪所有的"厄尔尼诺"相形见细。它对热带洋面的影响范…
