A microanalysis of colloid osmotic pressure

Summary A needle type of colloid osmometer has been devised with special attachments which made it useable with 3-l samples. It has been used in oncometry of fresh water teleosts to give the following results: 5.1±1.0 mm Hg for goldfish, 5.2±0.71 mm Hg for carp, and 14.3±0.75 mm Hg for eel.This study was supported in part by Research Grant 387036 from the Ministry of Education of Japan.invited to National Institute of Physiological Sciences, Okazaki, Japan.     

利用环介导恒温扩增法简易诊断松萎蔫病Takuya Aikawa,Natsumi Kanzak,Taisei Kikuch

诊断松萎蔫病的传统方法是从木质组织中分离松材线虫,然后用显微镜进行形态学鉴定。基于DNA分子检测的方法尽管很灵敏,不需要固定发育阶段的松材线虫,但是仍然需要用Baermann 漏斗法分离线虫,并且需要昂贵的仪器。笔者研发了利用环介导恒温扩增法检测松材线虫的存在,该方法包括：(1) 从木块中提取DNA;(2) DNA 扩增;(3) 通过反应溶液的颜色做出诊断。该方法仅使用培养箱且整个过程只需要90 min,比以往方法更加简便和快速。     

HLA-DQ is epistatic to HLA-DR in controlling the immune response to schistosomal antigen in humans

Antigens that produce an antibody response in some members of a species may fail to do so in others. The response to an antigen is controlled by a gene termed the immune response (Ir) gene, which is transmitted as a single dominant trait. We have provided evidence for similar immune suppression (Is) genes which control non-responsiveness through the antigen specific suppressor T cell. The non-responsiveness is also dominantly inherited and the Is genes are linked to the histocompatibility (HLA) antigen system. Here we report that the HLA-DR2 molecule from a non-responder haplotype (HLA-Dw12-DR2-DQwl) is required for the proliferative T cell response to schistosoma japonicum (Sj) antigen, as a restriction element, indicating that the HLA-DR2 is the product of the Ir gene, and that the HLA-DQwl molecule of the non-responder haplotype is important in the antigen-specific suppression of the response to this antigen, suggesting that it is the product of the Is gene. We therefore conclude that the HLA-DR and DQ molecules, which are controlled by the distinct genes in the MHC multigene family, regulate immune response and immune suppression and that the gene for HLA-DQ is epistatic to that for HLA-DR in controlling the immune response to schistosomal antigen in humans.     

超临界二甲醚喷雾特性的试验研究

为研究超临界二甲醚的喷雾特性,在定容容器内模拟涡轮增压发动机气缸内的实际环境,使用高速摄像机对超临界二甲醚喷雾的外形轮廓及发展过程进行观察,并将其与跨临界二甲醚喷雾进行对比。结果表明,二甲醚喷雾在发展过程中发生了明显的卷状分裂,并且观察不到二次分裂现象;超临界二甲醚喷雾的外形轮廓及贯穿距离与跨临界喷雾并未有明显差别,但由于超临界二甲醚在涡轮增压环境中的扩散速率更快,因此其喷雾锥角更大,喷雾核心区的长度更短;两种喷射状态下的二甲醚在喷入定容容器后,其喷雾尖端的推进速率都会先急剧增大,然后在达到峰值后又急剧减小,最后在低速段保持相对稳定。     

MIMO阵元方向性对系统性能影响研究

在考虑空间衰落相关性(SFC)的同时引入天线单元方向性,研究基于统计信道模型的终端MIMO多天线模型及性能评估方法.在Kronecker的MIMO信道建模中应用终端波达信号方位角功率谱(APS)模型.利用此MIMO信道模型概念,分析在统计衰落信道中MIMO阵元方向性对系统性能影响,包括对空间衰落相关系数、MIMO多径信道容量和误码率(BER)的影响.仿真和优化结果表明:终端MIMO多天线模型中阵元方向性对系统性能影响显著,合理安排阵元波束方向可增加约10%多径信道容量并明显减小误码率.
