初中生学习化学兴趣的发展趋势

针对目前初中化学教学中学生因缺乏应有的学习兴趣而导致学习动力不足和影响其个性和谐发展的问题，运用现代教育学、心理学的理论，结合初中生的心理特点和化学学科特点，提出把初中生学习化学兴趣提到学生稳定的个性心理品质上来研究，是符合马克思主义关于人的学说和现代教育心理学理论以及初中化学教学实际的；初中生学习化学兴趣的形成和发展是一个立体发生的过程，其纵向趋势为：直感兴趣→解析兴趣→探索兴趣；其横向品质为：指向性、持久性、广泛性和有效性，初中生学习化学兴趣水平的提高应当在有效的教学中进行

Evolutionary and ecological implications of cardenolide sequestration in the monarch butterfly

Summary Monarch butterflies sequester cardenolides from their larval host plants in the milkweed genusAsclepias for use in defense against predation. Of 108Asclepias species in North America, monarchs are known to feed as larvae on 27. Research on 11 of these has shown that monarchs sequester cardenolides most effectively, to an asymptote of approximately 350 g/0.1 g dry butterfly, from plants with intermediate cardenolide contents rather than from those with very high or very low cardenolide contents. SinceAsclepias host plant species are distributed widely in space and time across the continent, monarchs exploit them by migration between breeding and overwintering areas. After overwintering in central Mexico, spring migrants east of the Rocky Mountains exploit three predominantAsclepias species in the southern USA that have moderately high cardenolide contents. Monarchs sequester cardenolides very effectively from these species. First generation butterflies are thus well protected against predators and continue the migration north. Across the northern USA and southern Canada most summer breeding occurs on a fourthAsclepias species and in autumn most of these monarchs migrate back to Mexican overwintering sites. The ecological implications of this cycle of cardenolide sequestration for the evolution of monarch migration are discussed.     

Biosynthesis of 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid: Steric course of the reaction at the C-4 position

Summary Under the action of the appropriate synthase from ripe tomatoes a 11 mixture of (3S, 4R)-[3,4-²H₂] and (3R, 4S)-[3,4-²H₂]-(2S)-adenosylmethionine is transformed into a 11 mixture of the two meso forms of [²H₂]-1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid, a result which proves the operation of an inversion mechanism and which is consistent with direct nucleophilic displacement of the leaving group in the substrate.     

In vitro amiodarone protein binding and its interaction with warfarin

Summary The binding of amiodarone to human plasma protein and to bovine serum, albumin was studied by three different methods, ultracentrifugation, equilibrium dialysis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The fraction of amiodarone bound to plasma protein amounted to 96.3%. The changes in the binding properties of 1-anilino-naphthalene-8-sulfonate for bovine serum albumin using warfarin and amiodarone as independent inhibitors were analyzed in terms of binding site specificity. The findings indicated that amiodarone and warfarin have two different binding sites on bovine serum albumin, so a noncompetitive inhibition mechanism was indicated. On the basis of our data we cannot exclude other mechanisms of interaction besides direct displacement of one drug by another; nevertheless, metabolite interference between amiodarone and coagulation cofactors may better explain the enhancement of warfarin's pharmacological action in association with amiodarone.This work was partially funded by the CNR (National Research Council, Rome, Italy), Program on Clinical Pharmacology and Rare Diseases.

Adrenocortical metabolism and plasma corticosterone in soman intoxicated rabbits

Summary The organophosphate neurotoxin soman produced impairments in adrenocortical RNA and protein metabolism. Fasciculate and reticular cell RNA and protein contents were supporessed with sublethal to acutely lethal dosages (20, 30 and 40 g/kg, s.c.) during the acute excitatory phase of intoxication and at 6–8 h post injection. All three dosages produced ca 90% inactivation of plasma cholinesterase. A transient elevation of plasma corticosterone occurred with 20 g/kg soman whereas there was a protracted increase with 30 g/kg. Corticosterone was not significantly elevated with 40 g/kg, but death occurred at 13±4 min. Thus, the magnitude and/or nature of soman-induced metabolic impairments does not appear to prevent adrenal activation.Supported by US Army Medical Research and Development Command Contract DAMD 17-81-C-1202.     

碳基烧蚀材料高温氧化反应机理的分子动力学研究

本文采用基于紧束缚密度泛函理论的分子动力学,研究高温下碳基烧蚀材料三种模型(无缺陷、原子缺陷以及孔洞缺陷)的氧化反应机制．研究发现高温下的反应产物主要是CO和CO₂.CO的产生过程主要源于环氧基团中C-C键的裂解,而CO₂的形成则较为复杂,主要源于小分子团簇(C₂O₂、C₃O₁、C₄O₁)的裂解．C-C键裂解是石墨氧化反应的主要途径,C-O键形成是CO和CO₂生成速率的控制因素．此外,体系的温度、缺陷以及孔洞对石墨的氧化反应机制有重要的影响．通过分析氧化反应速率,计算得到三种模型氧化反应的活化能分别为7.56、2.4和1.6kcal/mol．缺陷越明显活化能越低,则氧化反应速率较高,无缺陷的模型由于活化能最高,其氧化反应速率最低．
