Ecdysteroids: possible candidates for the hormone which triggers salivary gland degeneration in the ixodid tickAmblyomma hebraeum

Summary Following engorgement, female ixodid ticks secrete a tick salivary gland degeneration factor (TSGDF) into the hemolymph. Here we show that the arthropod ecdysteroid hormones, ecdysome and 20-hydroxyecdysone, induce degeneration of tick salivary glands maintained in organ culture. The effective dose range in vitro is 30–300 ng/ml, a range reported to be physiological for this species following repletion. In addition, infusion of 20-hydroxyecdysome in vivo induces salivary gland degeneration. We therefore propose that TSGDF may be an ecdysteroid.Acknowledgments.

Hypothalamic histamine modulates adaptive behavior of rats at high environmental temperature

Summary Histamine content in the rat hypothalamus was lower at 4°C and higher at 31°C compared to that at 21°C. Pretreatment with -fluoromethylhistidine, a suicide inhibitor of histidine decarboxylase, attenuated both the increased level of hypothalamic histamine and rat adaptive behavior at 31°C. Increase of histamine content in the hypothalamus appears to be an important factor contributing to rat adaptive behavior to high environmental temperature.

Chronology of environmental events over East Asia during the past 130 ka

In the transitional region between the Loess Plateau and deserts, 4 sections located respectively at Yuling, Hengshan, Dingbian and Huining of China are studied. The high-resolution paleoclimatic records obtained show that environmental events on varying time scales have happened over East Asia. These events are dated with the time scales established using the recently-developed approach of Automatic Orbital Tuning. This leads to the establishment of the chronology of the environmental events.     

可持续发展中的代际财富均衡问题研究

运用可持续发展理论,探讨了代际财富均衡的内含,指出资源存量与环境质量是参与代际财富转移的重要部分,资源的分配管理的一定质量环境的保护要本着代际机会均等的原则,建立了代际财富均衡的模型,说明资源资本的增殖积累是缓解代际矛盾的重要途径。     

从当代西方环境伦理学看韩愈的天人感应论

韩愈的天人感应论属于我国古代天人感应论的第四种类型，他从“天入相乖”、“祸善福淫”的角度提出了天与入感应的独特方式。从当代环境伦理学视角看，韩愈的天人感应论表达了对大自然的道德关怀，与当代环境伦理学一样，具有强烈的反传统人类中心主义倾向以及相似的基本原则和道德目标。在环境问题日益严重的今天，探讨韩愈的天人感应论，对我们坚持科学发展观，处理好发展经济与保护环境的关系，搞好社会主义和谐社会建设，具有一定借鉴意义。

机动车多点源排放空气污染物浓度解析模式

针对公路机动车排放源和环境特点，建立了风速和扩散系数随高度变化的公路机动车多源排放空气污染平流扩散方程。提出了在地面和对流层边界对污染物为全反射条件下的定解问题。引用Green函数的概念，提出了公路机动车多源扩散方程的求解思路，利用微分方程的特征理论，求得了Green函数的横风和垂直向分量。通过Green函数分量与排放源强的线性组合，得到了公路机动车排放为多点源、线源和面源时污染物浓度三维分布的解析解。指出了广泛使用的高斯扩散模式在公路机动车排气污染物浓度计算中的局限性。
