“926”植物生长调节剂的药效作用及机理研究

试验表明，“９２６”植物生长调节剂对植物种子活力、根系活力、植物生长发育具有明显的促进作用。用“９２６”浸稻种和玉米种，可提高发芽势、发芽率，增加次生根数和次生根长。苗期施药，同样可促进幼苗生长发育、促进根系发育、增加分蘖、分枝，提高成穗率。其它生育期施药，可分别提高成稳率、穗粒数、粒重，显著提高作物产量。     

Local one-dimensional ase-i scheme for 2D diffusion equation

A local alternating segment explicit—implicit method for the solution of 2D diffusion equations is presented in this paper. The method is unconditionally stable and has the obvious property of parallelism. Some numerical experiments show the method is not only simple but also more accurate.     

Effects of vitamin B12 on plasma melatonin rhythm in humans: increased light sensitivity phase-advances the circadian clock?

Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) was administered orally (3 mg/day) to 9 healthy subjects for 4 weeks. Nocturnal melatonin levels after exposure to bright light (ca. 2500 lx) were determined, as well as the levels of plasma melatonin over 24 h. The timing of sleep was also recorded. Vitamin B12 was given blind to the subjects and crossed over with placebo. We found that the 24-h melatonin rhythm was significantly phase-advanced (1.1 h) in the vitamin B12 trial as compared with that in the placebo trial. In addition, the 24-h mean of plasma melatonin level was much lower in the vitamin B12 trial than with the placebo. Furthermore, the nocturnal melatonin levels during bright light exposure were significantly lower in the vitamin B12 trial than with the placebo. On the other hand, vitamin B12 did not affect the timing of sleep. These findings raise the possibility that vitamin B12 phase-advances the human circadian rhythm by increasing the light sensitivity of the circadian clock.
