解决我国城市生活垃圾问题的出路

对目前国内垃圾主要处理方法进行了评价,认为要从根本上解决我国城市生活垃圾问题必须建立健全垃圾减量与处理的双重机制。提出了“清洁生活”的概念,指出了城市生活垃圾的减量要建立在“清洁生活”战略指导思想的基础上;建立城市生活垃圾多级、低熵分选处理体系是符合我国国情的有效处理垃圾的最佳选择。     

不同结合剂对熔融石英窑具性能与析晶结构的影响

主要对熔融石英结构、不同结合剂结合的窑具性能和高温析晶结构进行研究．通过不同结合剂含量的性能比较,确定最佳配方（高铝结合剂最佳含量为３０％,粘土结合剂最佳含量为２０％）,高温烧成析晶结构（α－石英,α－方石英,莫来石）及其含量．     

Fuzzy导集算子与Fuzzy拓扑

在Ｉ＾Ｘ上,定义了Ｆｕｚｚｙ半导集算子与Ｆｕｚｚｙ导集算子,讨论了它们与拓扑的关系,借助于文献（３）中提出的强导集概念,得到：若ｄ是Ｘ的Ｆｕｚｚｙ导集算子,则在Ｘ上唯一存在一个Ｆｕｚｚｙ拓扑ｆ,使得（Ｘ,Ｆ）是Ｆｕｚｚｙ准Ｔ０空间,且在（Ｘ,Ｔ）中Ｆｕｚｚｙ集Ａ的强导集恰是Ａ在ｄ下的像ｄ（Ａ）。     

A massive phytoplankton bloom induced by an ecosystem-scale iron fertilization experiment in the equatorial Pacific Ocean

The seeding of an expanse of surface waters in the equatorial Pacific Ocean with low concentrations of dissolved iron triggered a massive phytoplankton bloom which consumed large quantities of carbon dioxide and nitrate that these microscopic plants cannot fully utilize under natural conditions. These and other observations provide unequivocal support for the hypothesis that phytoplankton growth in this oceanic region is limited by iron bioavailability.     

Nα-quinaldyl-L-arginine·HCl,a new defensive alkaloid fromSubcoccinella-24-punctata (Coleoptera,Coccinellidae)

The isolation of N-quinaldyl-L-arginine·HCl (1) from the CoccinellidaeSubcoccinella-24-punctata is reported. The structure, first established on the basis of the analysis of the spectral properties of1, has been confirmed by synthesis. The alkaloid is of endogenous origin and markedly deterrent to ants.     

Antiviral activities of anthraquinones,bianthrones and hypericin derivatives from lichens

The antiviral activities of some naturally occurring anthraquinones bianthrones, and hypericin derivatives were compared by the end-point CPE (viral cytopathic effects) method and plaque assays. Under optimal conditions of exposure to light, hypericin, 7,7-dichlorohypericin and 5,7-dichloroemodin exhibited strong inhibitory activity against HSV-1 (herpes simplex virus type 1) in both assays. Partial inactivation of the virus was shown by emodin, 7-chloroemodin and 7-chloro-1-O-methylemodin; the bianthrones and other anthraquinones were found to be inactive. Antiviral activity appeared to be, positively correlated with increasing substitution of chlorine in the anthraquinone structure. In the absence of light, only hypericin and 7,7-dichlorohypericin displayed detectable activity.     

The use of cyclophosphamide as an enhancer of the vaccine against foot-and-mouth disease

The immunization of biungulate animals with killed foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) requires periodic vaccinations due to a low vaccine immunogenicity. Therefore, FMDV antigens need to be combined with adjuvants such as aluminum hydroxide, saponin or oil emulsions. Animal handling for periodic inoculations, and the repeated doses of vaccines that have to be administered increase the commercialization costs. Moreover, the use of adjuvants may induce adverse effects.In the present work we show that it is possible to increase the life span of neutralizing antibodies in serum when a single dose of cyclophosphamide (Cy) is administered four days before vaccination with aluminum hydroxidesaponin FMDV vaccine.     

Some citrus chitinases also possess chitosanase activities

Several acidic chitinase and chitosanase isoforms were found in 4-week-old nonembryogenic sweet orange (Valencia [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck]) callus tissue. Two isoforms (designated A1-CF1 and A1-CF2) were purified to homogeneity using HPLC size exclusion, anion exchange, and chromatofocusing techniques. Both hydrolase isoforms exhibited activity with either colloidal chitin or solubilized shrimp shell chitosan. Specific activities for the purified isoforms could not be calculated because of the lack of protein and contamination of ampholytes. However, the specific activities for chitinase and chitosanase after anion exchange were respectively 404 nmol GlcNAc per min per mg protein and 2,475 nmol GlcN per min per mg protein. The M_r for both enzymes was 30,500. The homogeneous proteins cross-reacted in western blots with antiserum against a basic class I potato leaf chitinase.
