Juvenile hormone titre and regulation in the cockroachDiploptera punctata

Summary Titres of juvenile hormone (JH) have been determined in both hemolymph and whole body extracts of femaleDiploptera punctata during the first gonotrophic cycle using a method employing gas chromatography/mass spectrometry for qualitative and quantitative analysis. JH III is the sole JH found in both adult and last instarD. punctata. Maximum values of 1500 ng/ml (6M) were observed at the middle of the gonotrophic cycle, when basal oocyte growth rate was greatest. Changes in rates of JH release in vitro by corpora allata paralleled closely the changes in JH titre, suggesting that biosynthesis is a major regulator of titre. JH levels per animal were calculated from observed JH titres, and at certain time points in the gonotrophic cycle JH levels obtained from analysis of whole bodies were significantly greater than those predicted from hemolymph titres. These results suggest the existence of a nonhemolymph JH pool inD. punctata. Decay in JH titre after allatectomy of 5 day females has also been studied. Following a rapid initial decline, the rate of decay slowed appreciably 4 h post-operation. Thus, use of a first-order rate constant to estimate half-life of JH significantly underestimated the longevity of the hormone. The apparent persistence of JH following allatectomy may be due to the existence of a nonhemolymph JH pool.     

弯曲铝合金方管的轴压性能试验研究

为研究带初弯曲度铝合金方管的轴压承载力,完成了8个试件的轴压稳定性试验,并建立了与试验条件一致的有限元模型。通过对比试验和有限元分析结果验证了有限元模型的可靠性。结果表明,带有较大初弯曲度铝合金方管的破坏模式为整体弯曲失稳。最后,根据有限元分析结果拟合得到较大初弯曲度铝合金方管的整体稳定系数计算式,并将拟合计算式结果和数值分析结果及试验结果进行对比,验证了计算式的正确性。     

CFRP-钢管-CFRP复合钢管约束海砂混凝土短柱轴压试验

以钢管壁厚、钢管屈服强度、碳纤维增强聚合物(carbon fiber reinforced polymer, CFRP)层数和位置、混凝土强度等为研究参数,进行19根CFRP-钢管-CFRP复合钢管约束海砂混凝土短柱的轴压试验,分析试件破坏模式、荷载-应变曲线、结构承载力等,并讨论现有算法对承载力计算的适用性.研究结果表明：内外壁CFRP与钢管的组合对核心混凝土有良好的复合约束作用,可大幅提高结构承载力;钢管内外壁张贴CFRP后,其结构破坏模式由剪切破坏变为腰鼓破坏;钢管最先开始屈服,CFRP层数决定纤维布的断裂宽度和分布;荷载-应变曲线在强化阶段呈明显线性上升特性,二次刚度由CFRP层数决定;与外壁张贴CFRP试件相比,内壁张贴CFRP试件的结构承载力更大.     

基于变换域注意力机制的压缩伪影去除的方法

图像有损压缩过程往往会导致图像质量退化,使图像出现压缩伪影。针对现有基于深度学习的方法缺乏对联合图像专家组(Joint Photographic Experts Group,JPEG)压缩算法先验信息的利用,提出一种基于变换域注意力机制的去伪影方法。该方法利用卷积神经网络在像素域和离散余弦变换(discrete cosine transform,DCT)域分别提取特征,再将双域学习的特征信息进行融合。利用量化表设计了DCT注意力机制,该模块根据DCT系数的损失程度给予各频率系数不同的权值,使网络自适应补偿量化引起的误差。于此基础上,在像素域引入通道注意力机制,从而更好地利用量化表的先验信息。在主要数据集上,提出的去伪影方法以固定的模型参数对多种质量因子的压缩图像进行伪影去除实验。实验结果表明,所提出的方法在各评价指标和主观视觉上取得较好的效果。     

稻壳灰改良盐渍土力学特性及抗冻性的研究

在西北季节冻土区广泛分布着盐渍土,其在空间分布上连续性差,工程性质极其不稳定;且浅层盐渍土受冻融作用的反复影响,其力学性质长期处于动态的变化之中,给工程设计与建设带来了极大的挑战.鉴于此,通过压缩试验及无侧限抗压强度试验,研究稻壳灰对盐渍土的改良效果.结果表明,稻壳灰可以显著地改善盐渍土的压缩特性,并提高其无侧限抗压强度,且改良土的压缩系数与抗压强度之间呈现出负相关的线性关系.随着掺灰量和养护龄期的增加,改良土的压缩系数不断减小,无侧限抗压强度呈现出不断增加的趋势,最大可增加4倍左右.以抗压强度损失率为指标对改良土的抗冻性进行了评价,发现改良土的抗冻性随着掺灰量的增加呈现出先增强后减弱的趋势,且在15%的掺灰量时,其抗冻性效果最显著;相对而言,养护龄期对于改良土的抗冻性影响较小.     

Effects of a new cholecystokinin antagonist (GE 410) on the smooth muscle of the guinea pig ileum

Summary Suc-Tyr-(SE)-Met-Gly-Trp-Met-Asp--phenethylamide (GE 410) competitively antagonized the contractions of smooth muscle strips from guinea pig ileum (pA₂=7.6, n=0.95) induced by cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK8). GE 410 inhibited the electrically-induced cholinergically mediated contractile responses and the [³H]ACh release in the ileum, as well as the CCK-stimulated electrical contractile responses and the [³H]ACh release in the cholinergic nerve terminals. The results suggest the existence of CCK-receptors not only in the smooth muscles but also on the neurons.

Ecological long-term effects of cultigens becoming feral and of naturalization of non-native species

Transgenic cultigens may become feral as we know of some non-transgenic cultigens. The article explains two basic ways how cultigens become feral: through hybridization with a closely related wild plant and through revert to the wild-type. A long list of examples of cultigens becoming feral in Central Europe is presented. The process of becoming feral is compared to the naturalization of non-native species (Exotic Species Model). Ecological long-term effects of both cultigens becoming feral and non-native species being naturalized are discussed with special regard to the predictability of such events. The ecological aspects discussed in the article are as significant for transgenic cultigens as for non-transgenic cultigens.
