Holocene lake deposits of Bosten Lake, southern Xinjiang, China

A 9.25-m-long sediment core from Bosten Lake,Xinjiang, provides detailed information about changes in the water budget and biological acticity over the last 8400 cal-endar years. The chronology is constructed from six AMS radiocarbon dates on the terrestrial plant remains. Based onanalyses of TOC, CO3, detrital compounds and biogenic SiO2,lake level fluctuations and periods of remarkably-negative water budget appeared at 8.4-8.2 cal ka, 7.38-7.25 cal ka,5.7-5.5 cal ka, 3.7-3.4 cal ka and 3.3-2.9 cal ka, respec-tively. As they are in-phase with low lake levels at Sumxl Co and Bangong Co in western Tibet Plateau and with paleo-lakes in Inner Mongolia, a climate-induced change to some-what drier and warmer conditions is inferred. A further drop in lake level after 1320 AD of about 200 yr duration may heattributed to a negative water balance prior to the main phase of the Little Ice Age. Deep and stable lake phases of 1500 yr and 1800 yr duration at 7.2-5.7 cal ka and 5.5-3.7cal ka coincide with maximum moisture during the Holocene Megathermai in China. The long term trend towards aridity since about 4.3 cal ka can dearly be recognised. The reduced water budget of Bosten Lake from 640-1200 AD may be attributed to local effects.     

A carbon- and oxygen-isotope record of recent environ- mental change from Qinghai Lake, NE Tibetan Plateau

An understanding of natural climatic variability is essential for evaluating anthropogenic impacts on recent and future climate[1—3]. Due to the lack of lengthy instrumental records, such an understanding must be gained from natural archives of climate change. Palaeolimnological indicators of past lake levels may provide a sensitive record of changes in effective precipitation in closed basins. This approach is particularly relevant on the Tibetan Plateau, where instrumental records are very…     

海南岛万泉河口沉积环境演变

根据对柱样沉积物²¹⁰Pb定年及有机碳、硫和有机碳同位素含量分析, 研究万泉河口沉积环境演变. 硫和δ¹³C均自19世纪初期开始持续减少, 硫从1.92%逐渐减少到0.36%, δ¹³C从−20.63‰减少到−23.64‰. C/S比在20世纪之前一直很稳定, 处于0.47~0.80之间, 有机碳与硫呈正相关; 在此之后, C/S比急剧增加, 至表层为3.94, 硫的含量与有机碳的增加没有相关关系. 结果表明在19世纪之前万泉河口尚为开阔的海湾, 处于正常海洋环境,未形成被沙坝围封的泻湖, 海水能够直接出入. 19世纪初期开始, 随着玉带滩沙坝向北发育, 河口逐渐被围拦成泻湖型, 进入的海水量逐渐减少; 在19与20世纪之交, 水体已开始明显淡化, 发展成为今天近乎淡水的泻湖.     

棒状杆菌ps1产生广谱抗真菌活性物质的初步研究

棒状杆菌psl能产生广谱抗真菌活性物质，对其活性物质的抗菌谱、产生条件和部分特性进行了初步研究。棒状杆菌psl产生的活性物质pschl对白色念珠菌、丝核菌、镰刀菌等多种真菌均有强烈抑制作用，并具有良好选择性。活性物质pschl耐热性好，pH改变对其活性影响较明显，酸性环境有利于其稳定但在碱性条件下容易失活。     

海洋枯草芽孢杆菌Bs-1产生多种抗真菌活性物质

从香港清水湾海域中分离到一株能产生抗酵母样真菌和革兰氏阳性菌抗生素的枯草芽孢杆菌菌株Bs—1。对Bs—1产生抗生素条件的研究表明，Bs—1在多种培养基中生长迅速，但只在PDB(马铃薯葡萄糖液体)中产生抗真菌活性物质；活性物质粗提液具有良好的耐热性和酸碱度，121℃加热15min及在pH2和pHl0处理24h仍有相当高的活性；对Bs—1产抗生素的营养条件和影响的理化因子进行了分析；最后用吸附、萃取、离子交换层析和RP-HPLC等技术对此菌的抗菌代谢产物进行纯化，结果发现Bs-1在PDB培养基中发酵时至少产生3种亲水性的抗真菌活性化合物，三在C18反相层析柱上的保留时间差别不大，对HPLC纯化后的其中一种化合物结构的初步分析表明，该化合物含有共轭双键但无任何氨基酸残基，与目前已知的枯草芽孢杆菌产生的抗生素都不相同，很可能是一种新的非肽类抗真菌化合物。     

CHARACTERIZATION OF SOL-GEL-DERIVED ZrO2 FILM BY PHOTOTHERMAL RADIOMETRY

In modern industry,thin film on the substratc has much important role to decide the properties of product, especially for electrical, optical and wear-resistant etc, production. There are some technical methods to prepare thin film,including plasma spray,physical vapor deposition (PVD),chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and sol-gel,etc. Among of them,sol-gel method has been developed a popular tech nique for preparing thin films.     

Induction of autotomy in the American bird grasshopperSchistocerca americana (Drury) by the ecdysone agonist RH-5849 and investigation of its mode of action

The non-steroidal ecdysone agonist RH-5849 (1,2-dibenzoyl-l-tert-butylhydrazine) was found to be an effective neurotoxicant on injection into the American bird grasshopper,Schistocerca americana (Drury). Treated grasshoppers became immediately hyperactive, followed by loss of coordination, paralysis and eventually death. We also discovered that this compound induced bilateral autotomy of the metathoracic legs during the early stages of intoxication. However, no evidence of ecdysonergic or morphogenetic activities was observed. Synergism studies with neurotoxins of known mode of action suggested that RH-5849 has a mechanism of action similar to that of 4-amino pyridine, which blocks potassium channels.
