Using genetically-defined rodent strains for the identification of hippocampal traits relevant for two-way avoidance behavior: a non-invasive approach

Summary Genetically-defined rodent strains permit the identification of hippocampal traits which are of functional relevance for the performance of two-way avoidance behavior. This is exemplified here by analyzing the relationship between infrapyramidal mossy fibers (a tiny projection terminating upon the basal dendrites of hippocampal pyramidal neurons) and two-way avoidance learning in about 800 animals. The necessary steps include 1) identification of structural traits sensitive to selective breeding for extremes in two-way avoidance, 2) testing the robustness of the associations found by studying individual and genetical correlations between hippocampal traits and behavior, 3) establishing causal relationships by Mendelian crossing of strains with extreme structural traits and studying the behavioral consequences of such structural randomization, 4) confirming causal relationships by manipulating the structural variable in inbred (isogenic) strains, thereby eliminating the possibility of genetic linkage, and 5) ruling out the possibility of spurious associations by studying the correlations between the hippocampal trait and other behaviors known to depend on hippocampal functioning.In comparison with the classical lesion approach for identifying relationships between brain and behavior, the present procedure appears to be superior in two aspects: it is non-invasive, and it focuses automatically on those brain traits which are used by natural selection to shape behaviorally-defined animal populations, i.e., it reveals the natural regulators of behavior.     

中国代木包装的现状及发展研究(续)

4 今后发展代木包装的思考及研究我国代木包装虽兴起于七十年代,但在八十年代中期才受到应有的重视和较快的发展,现在在数量、品种、性能上还不能满足各方面包装的需要。随着今后国民经济的进一步发展,必然要求代木包装在数量、质量上要有一个更大的发展。为此,本文在前述对国内外代木包装分析的基础上,兹就今后发展代木包装的目标及方针,任务及规划,对策及措施初步探讨如下。     

应用禁忌粒子群算法的车间调度及其并行化实现

为了解决批量生产、制造、装配等车间调度问题,基于Hadoop集群,提出应用禁忌粒子群算法的车间调度及其并行化实现.以某装载机制造车间最小化完成时间为目标,通过使用禁忌粒子群算法对车间调度问题进行求解.结果表明：在车间批量大的情况下,禁忌粒子群算法可得出有效的调度方案,避免算法陷入局部最优解.与现有的智能算法相比,禁忌粒子群算法更有利于实现全局最优解.     

广西油茶产业发展现状与对策

广西油茶(Camellia oleifera)资源丰富,种植历史悠久。广西油茶产业虽然初具规模,但是还存在资源质量不高、产业链条不长、品牌建设滞后等突出问题和薄弱环节,需要进一步加大政策支持力度,推动油茶产业早日成为乡村振兴的支柱产业。     

广西香蕉产业发展现状与展望

香蕉是世界上重要的粮食作物和经济作物。香蕉生产周期短、收益高,其产业已成为广西脱贫攻坚和乡村振兴战略布局中不可多得的成熟产业。广西香蕉产业具有自然条件适宜、区位优势明显、规模化程度高、科技支撑力强等发展优势,但同时也存在着品种单一、病虫害严重、寒害频发、收获期集中、管理水平参差不齐、营销方式落后等问题。近年来广西香蕉产业经历了大起大落的发展阶段,即将迎来平稳发展期,可通过加强总体规划、合理布局,加快新品种新技术研发和市场流通体系建设等措施,不断提高香蕉产业的效益。     

PRM蚁群融合算法的AGV路径规划研究

针对AGV运货时需一次性取多件货物的路径规划问题,提出一种PRM算法与蚁群算法相结合的融合算法,将问题拆分为路径的选择与TSP问题分布解决,即先利用PRM算法进行AGV路径规划,再利用蚁群算法决策出取货顺序,生成总的路径。最后采用matlab进行仿真实验,并与A*算法进行对比,结果证明了PRM蚁群融合算法比A*算法得出的路径更短、效率更高。     

Morphological,biochemical and molecular changes during ectomycorrhiza development

Summary An ectomycorrhiza, a specialized root organ, is the result of a complex interaction leading to a finely-tuned symbiosis between a plant and a compatible ectomycorrhizal fungus. Ultrastructural observations combined with cytochemical and biochemical studies reveal that structural and metabolic changes in the symbiont cells lead to the final phenotype of the active ectomycorrhiza. In the present review these changes are interpreted as changes in gene expression and discussed within the context of ectomycorrhiza development. Recent genetic data indicate that the continued vegetative growth of the ectomycorrhizal hyphae and the root tissues, and their ability to switch to symbiotic organ formation, is basically controlled by developmentally critical genes. The activity of these symbiotic genes during the differentiation of ectomycorrhizas is associated with extensive changes in the concentration of particular polypeptides and protein biosynthesis. The present state of knowledge about the developmental biology of ectomycorrhizas allows only speculation about the events during their development.Puisant mes forces aux sources des galaxies En buvant la sève des arbres M.

Maternal vitamin A restriction alters biochemical development of the brain in rats

Summary The biochemical development of the fetal brain in relation to maternal vitamin A restriction was studied in rats. The vitamin A status of pregnant rats was varied by supplying low, medium and adequate amounts (6, 40, and 100 g retinol/day/kg body weight, respectively) of vitamin A during pregnancy and suckling. The maternal vitamin A restriction caused an altered brain development in terms of tissue weight, DNA, RNA and protein levels, and biosynthesis of DNA and protein from [³H]-thymidine and [³H]-leucine, respectively. A dose-dependent effect of maternal vitamin A restriction on the metabolism of DNA, RNA and protein was noticed in the developing fetal brain of rats.     

A parable of two princes: An effective approach to national development

The paper compares two opposite strategies for national development: (1) initially optimum policies in the absence of a strong feedback system and (2) initially poor policies with a strong feedback system. The strong feedback system is essentially a real-time information system designed to support national development. A number of principles or guidelines for implementing such a real-time information system are presented. The entire approach is based upon the viable system model of Stafford Beer.
