The induction of secondary seed dormancy by oxygen deficiency in a barnyard grassEchinochloa crus-galli

At 25°C, secondary dormancy was induced in seeds ofE. crus-galli exposed for 100 days to oxygen deficiency. By contrast, hypoxia did not induce dormancy at 15°C or prevent dormancy termination at 7°C. Secondary dormancy was terminated after 2 months stratification at 7°C. Oxygen deficiency may increase the proportion of dormant seeds in the soil, and affect the dynamics of the barnyard-grass soil seed bank.We thank Miss Jitka Králová for her excellent technical assistance.     

Internal interactions within the human circadian system: the masking effect

Summary In the realm of human circadian rhythms, the masking effect is defined as the change in the course of deep body temperature induced by changes in the degree of physical activity, or by the alteration between sleep and wake. This effect is particularly obvious during internal desynchronization where the rhythms of deep body temperature, and the sleep-wake sleep-wake sleep cycle — i.e. one of the masking factors — run with different periods.Every sleep onset is accompanied by a rapid drop, and wake onset by a rapid rise in deep body temperature, each one with an overshoot of about 50% of the steady state variations. When rhythms are calculated, with the dominant temperature period as the screening period, exclusively from data obtained during sleep episodes, on the one hand, and from those obtained exclusively during wake, on the other, two average cycles emerge: the sleep temperature curve and the wake temperature curve. Both run in parallel but are separated by the masking effcct. As derived from many experiments, the mean masking effect amounts to 0.28±0.06°C. The masking effect also depends to some extent on the phase of the temperature rhtthm; it is larger than average around the temperature maximum and during the descending phase of the temperature cycle, where the alertness commonly is highest and the probability to sleep, in general, and the REM sleep propensity, in particular, are smaller than average. This also can be interpreted to indicate that the sleep temperature curve is phase advanced relative to the wake temperature curve; this, on the average, by 0.9±0.3 h.If the individually determined amount of masking is added to the temperature data obtained during sleep, or substracted from the temperature data obtained during wake, a temperature curve emerges that can be though of as being purified of the masking effect. Analyses of this artificial curve allow estimation of that part of the internal interactions uninfluenced by the masking effect. On the average, about half of the amount of interaction between the rhythm of sleep-wake and that of deep body temperature is explained by the masking effect, whereas the other half is oscillatory interaction. Both types of interaction are inherent and inseparable parts of the circadian clock mechanism, as can be deduced from model considerations.     

钢坯磨削温度的若干试验研究

通过使用“可磨式”人工热电偶进行的不同条件下的磨削温度测量试验研究了钢坯磨削工件表层温度,结果表明钢坯被磨削表层温度分布与热强呈三角形分布时的理论分析结果相同,表层峰值温度随磨削压力及磨削功率增大而提高,且随工件进给速度提高而略有降低,峰值温度还随磨削角度减小而提高,90°磨削的峰值温度比0°磨削要低250℃左右,砂轮种类也对峰值温度有重要影响,使用锆刚玉砂轮时磨削温度低于棕刚玉砂轮,试验结果表明高效钢坯磨削的磨削区温度远比普通磨削为高,可达1200℃左右,还从不同方面探讨了磨削高温对钢坯磨削的影响,认为尽管磨削高温有若干不利影响,但对高效钢坯磨削却是重要条件,上述讨论,从一个方面揭示了钢坯磨削机理,并验证了关于钢坯磨削温度的理论分析结果。     

Photoperiodic summation is temperature-dependent inPyrrhocoris apterus (L.) (Heteroptera)

Summary InPyrrhocoris apterus, a low temperature, 15°C, prevented the termination of diapause by long days and, unexpectedly, also the induction of diapause by short days. Both responses were enabled at a higher temperature, 26°C. In contrast to current concepts, it was proved that the summation of photoperiodic signals was temperature-dependent, since the morphogenetic development was prevented by starvation.

均布荷载作用下简支组合梁受力机理分析

为了揭示组合梁在均布荷载作用下的受力机理,考虑弯曲和滑移耦合变形,建立组合梁滑移受力机理模型.首先,以单跨简支组合梁为研究对象,探讨组合梁变形与滑移规律、横截面内力分布及结合部传力机理;然后,分析截面尺度、界面刚度与荷载加载面对组合梁受力机理的影响.结果表明：混凝土板抗剪和抗弯作用在房建组合梁中较明显,在桥梁组合梁中可忽略;随着界面刚度比的增加,简支组合梁的曲率、转角、挠度和滑移均减小;混凝土板和钢梁轴力同步增大,混凝土板剪力增大而钢梁剪力减小,混凝土板、钢梁弯矩减小而轴力力偶增大;结合部界面切向力增大而界面法向力基本不变;相较于按自质量分配荷载,均布荷载由混凝土板承担时界面压力增大,由钢梁承担时则界面受拉,应注意验算界面抗拉拔性能.     

注浆法应用于局部非饱和黄土地基中的适用性

为了探明注浆法应用于黄土地区某既有高层建筑地基加固产生负面作用的原因,用以指导该建筑物进一步的加固工作。本文依托某建筑物纠偏工程讨论了注浆法在局部非饱和黄土地基中的适用性。现场监测了建筑物的沉降、倾斜以及地基土孔隙水压力指标,结合地质条件以及前期加固方案,分析了注浆后地基土承载力不升反降、建筑物沉降速率增大的原因。结果表明：注浆开始后,建筑物沉降速明显增大,且南侧高于北侧,随着施工的暂停和恢复,沉降速率随之减小和增大。最大沉降速率达2.05 mm·d-1,南北两侧最大沉降差达40.78 mm。孔隙水压力变化趋势与沉降速率类似,最大孔隙水压力达990.21 kPa。停止注浆后,地基南侧各处孔隙水压力有所降低,降幅约8.85%~45.56%。注浆使建筑物产生不均沉降的原因为,未凝结浆液中的水在注浆压力和较高的孔隙水压力作用下逐渐渗透到本就排水条件不良的地基土中,且由于地基内初始孔隙水压力及初始排水条件的差异,对地基产生了不均匀的影响,最终体现在建筑物不均匀沉降上。可见对于类似的排水条件不良且孔隙水压力过大的局部非饱和黄土地基,注浆加固前应采取打入排水板、泄压孔等措施消散孔隙水压力,然后再进行注浆施工。
