First mass measurement of short-lived nuclides at HIRFL-CSR

Recent commissioning of the HIRFL-CSR has demonstrated its ability to perform direct mass measurement for short-lived nuclides. Projectile fragments produced by the 78Kr ions at 481.88 MeV/u were separated with the new radioactive beam line in Lanzhou （RIBLL2）, and injected into and stored in the experimental storage ring （CSRe）. By operating the CSRe as an isochronous mass spectrometry, a typical mass resolution around 2.0×10？5 has been achieved. The masses for 63Ge, 65As and 67Se were measured for the first time. The measured masses are compared with theoretical predictions and the location of the proton drip-line for As isotopes is discussed. The implication of the 65As mass in the astrophysical rapid proton capture process has also been addressed.     

Diet and prey consumption of breeding Common Kestrel （Falco tinnunculus） in Northeast China

The diet of Common Kestrels Falco tinnunculus was studied during the breeding seasons from 2004 to 2008 in Northeast China. Diet was determined by direct observation of the prey brought to nests, and analysis of prey remains collected from nests. Fifteen vertebrate species from three classes, and two groups of insects were identified as prey items. Rodents were the main prey items, comprising 93.9% of the total prey items (TPI) and 97.0% of total prey biomass (TPB). Birds, frogs and insects were also eaten. The kestrels preferred to prey on small rodents (mean weight 20-40 g) and displayed density-dependent prey selection. Daily prey consumption of an adult and a nestling was 2.6 individual rodents or 87.6 g, and 1.7 individual vertebrates or 48.2 g, respectively. The estimated prey consumption of a breeding pair (adults and nestlings) during the breeding season was 520.1 individual vertebrates or 19.7 kg.

Fluxes of CO2, N2O and CH4 from a typical temperate grassland in Inner Mongolia and its daily variation

Using a dark enclosed chamber technique, the fluxes of CO₂, N₂O and CH₄ from nature and disturbed grassland were measured on the spot in Inner Mongolian Temperate Grassland along the annual rainfall gradient section ranging from 450 to 200 mm. The results showed that the measured mean fluxes of CO₂, N₂O and CH₄ were (1 180.4 ± 308.7), (0.010 ± 0.004) and (−0.039 ± 0.016) mg · m⁻²/h, respectively. The decrease of the fluxes of CO₂, N₂O and CH₄ follows with that of annual rainfall gradient in the measurement area. Human activities, such as grazing and reclamation are also critical factors to affect the fluxes of these gases from grassland. Daily continuous measurement of CO₂, N₂O and CH₄ fluxes showed a strong diurnal variation with higher emission in the daytime. A good relationship between the fluxes of CO₂, N₂O, CH₄ and temperature was exposed in this study.     

Internalization and half-life of membrane-bound macrophage colony-stimulating factor

The binding of recombinant human macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) soluble receptor (rh-M-CSF-sR) to membrane-bound macrophage colony stimulating factor (m-M-CSF) and the internalization and recycling of rh-M-CSF-sR/m-M-CSF complexes mediated by m-M-CSF were studied with a model of J6-1 cell line. The results indicated that m-M-CSF bound rh-M-CSF-sR with high affinity (k_d = 1.78×10¹² mol/L) and mediated a temperature- and energydependent internalization of rh-M-CSF-sR, and that internalized rh-M-CSF-sR could return to the cell surface in an m-M-CSF-bound state, suggesting that m-M-CSF may have a capability to mediate the internalization and recycling of rh-M-CSF-sR/m-M-CSF complexes. In addition, the half-lives of cell-associated M-CSF and its receptor of stimulated normal human cord blood mononuclear cells (CBMCs) and 4 leukemic cell lines were measured by indirect immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. The results showed that the half-lives of the various kinds of M-CSF isoforms and M-CSF-R in 4 leukemic cells, except those of membrane-bound M-CSF receptor (M-CSF-mR) of K562 and HL-60 cells, were longer than those of corresponding M-CSF isoform and its receptor in stimulated normal human CBMCs, suggesting that there is a slow degradation rate of cell-associated M-CSF and its receptor in leukemic cells.

Resequencing of 200 human exomes identifies an excess of low-frequency non-synonymous coding variants

Targeted capture combined with massively parallel exome sequencing is a promising approach to identify genetic variants implicated in human traits. We report exome sequencing of 200 individuals from Denmark with targeted capture of 18,654 coding genes and sequence coverage of each individual exome at an average depth of 12-fold. On average, about 95% of the target regions were covered by at least one read. We identified 121,870 SNPs in the sample population, including 53,081 coding SNPs (cSNPs). Using a statistical method for SNP calling and an estimation of allelic frequencies based on our population data, we derived the allele frequency spectrum of cSNPs with a minor allele frequency greater than 0.02. We identified a 1.8-fold excess of deleterious, non-syonomyous cSNPs over synonymous cSNPs in the low-frequency range (minor allele frequencies between 2% and 5%). This excess was more pronounced for X-linked SNPs, suggesting that deleterious substitutions are primarily recessive.     

柠檬酸钠法烟气脱硫技术中硫酸钠的生成控制

柠檬酸钠法烟气脱硫过程中,吸收的SO2容易被氧化成硫酸钠,从而导致柠檬酸钠消耗量过大,硫酸钠结晶体堵塞设备.文中通过控制吸收液的pH值、缩短吸收液的循环周期、采用液态Claus反应以及控制烟气中的氧逸度,有效地降低了吸收液中硫酸钠的生成量.在运行过程中,若柠檬酸根离子的浓度为0.1mol/L,吸收液的pH值控制在4.50~4.00,每一循环周期为4 h,烟气氧逸度为8%,则吸收液中SO42-的递增速率将降至0.09 g/(L.h).
