Hymenolepis nana: Transfer of acquired immunity in mice through sensitized peritoneal exudate cells

Summary Sensitized peritoneal exudate cells from syngeneic donor Swiss albino mice infected with single and repeated doses of viable eggs ofHymenolepis nana produced a significant adoptive immunity in test mice when compared with animals which received non-sensitized (normal) cells. No significant difference was observed among the 2 recipient groups which received singly or repeatedly sensitized peritoneal exudate cells.Acknowledgment. We thank Professor B. M. Sinha for providing facilities and to the University Grants Commission, New Delhi for financial assistance.     

Effects of L-lysine administration on certain aspects of ascorbic acid metabolism in weanling rats

Summary L-lysine administration to male weanling rats at a dose of 110.4 mg (25% LD₅₀) per 100 g body weight per day for 15 days reduced the liver total ascorbic acid level. The biosynthesis as well as the degradation of L-ascorbic acid was diminished under these conditions. The fall in liver total ascorbic acid level after L-lysine administration was ascribed to its reduced synthesis.Acknowledgment.

Mixed-frequency forecasting of crude oil volatility based on the information content of global economic conditions

This paper subjects six alternative indicators of global economic activity to empirically examine their relative predictive powers in the forecast of crude oil market volatility. GARCH-MIDAS approach is constructed to accommodate all the relevant series at their available data frequencies, thereby circumventing information loss and any associated bias. We find evidence in support of global economic activity as a good predictor of energy market volatility. Our forecast evaluation of the various indicators places a higher weight on the newly developed indicator of global economic activity which is based on a set of 16 variables covering multiple dimensions of the global economy, whereas other indicators do not seem to capture. Furthermore, we find that accounting for any inherent asymmetry in the global economic activity proxies improves the forecast accuracy of the GARCH-MIDAS-X model for oil volatility. The results leading to these conclusions are robust to multiple forecast horizons and consistent across alternative energy sources.

梯级水电站群长期发电优化调度多核并行随机动态规划方法

随机动态规划求解水电站群长期发电优化调度易产生"维数灾"问题,导致计算耗时急剧增加,求解效率降低.如何缓解维数灾和提高计算效率,一直是水库优化调度致力于研究的难点问题.在随机动态规划的并行性分析基础上,提出了基于Fork/Join并行框架的多核并行随机动态规划方法.该方法将单个时段内所有变量组合状态下的计算任务作为父任务,通过分治法递归分解为多个子任务,并平均分配到不同的内核同时计算实现细粒度并行求解.以澜沧江下游梯级水电站群为研究实例,建立了3个变量离散数不同的调度方案,并在多核环境下验证该方法的计算效率.结果表明,在2和4核环境下,该方法的计算耗时与串行方法相比,分别节省了约50%和70%,大幅度缩减计算耗时,可充分利用多核资源;同时,计算任务的规模越大,并行计算的耗时缩减幅度越大.因此,此方法为大规模水电系统优化调度提供了一种可行途径,其并行原理可为其他应用所借鉴.
