Chemical Solution Routes to Single-Crystal Thin Films     

FF Lange 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1996,273(5277):903-909

Epitaxial thin films of inorganic single crystals can be grown on single-crystal substrates with a variety of different solution chemistries. This review emphasizes chemical solution deposition, in which a solution is used to deposit a layer of precursor molecules that decompose to low-density, polycrystalline films during heating. Ways to control film cracking during deposition and heat treatment and why many precursors synthesize metastable crystalline structures are discussed, and the different mechanisms that convert the polycrystalline film into a single crystal are reviewed. Hydrothermal epitaxy, in which single crystal thin films are directly synthesized on templating substrates in an aqueous solution at temperatures <150°C, is also discussed.  相似文献

Lycopene accumulation induced by 2-(4-chlorophenylthio)-triethylamine hydrochloride   总被引：11，自引：0，他引：11

After fruits, roots, or the mycelium of certain plants were treated with 2-(4-chlorophenylthio)-triethylamine hydrochloride, lycopene was detected in the tissue. This is the first known success in causing lycopene to accumulate in a wide range of carotenogenic tissues that normally do not accumulate the pigment at some stage of development. The response should be of value in the study of carotenoid biosynthetic pathways and gene control mechanisms.  相似文献   

Genetic correlates of musical pitch recognition in humans     

Drayna D  Manichaikul A  de Lange M  Snieder H  Spector T 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》2001,291(5510):1969-1972

We used a twin study to investigate the genetic and environmental contributions to differences in musical pitch perception abilities in humans. We administered a Distorted Tunes Test (DTT), which requires subjects to judge whether simple popular melodies contain notes with incorrect pitch, to 136 monozygotic twin pairs and 148 dizygotic twin pairs. The correlation of DTT scores between twins was estimated at 0.67 for monozygotic pairs and 0.44 for dizygotic pairs. Genetic model-fitting techniques supported an additive genetic model, with heritability estimated at 0.71 to 0.80, depending on how subjects were categorized, and with no effect of shared environment. DTT scores were only weakly correlated with measures of peripheral hearing. This suggests that variation in musical pitch recognition is primarily due to highly heritable differences in auditory functions not tested by conventional audiologic methods.  相似文献   

Regional Sediment Deficits in the Dutch Lowlands: Implications for Long-Term Land-Use Options (8 pp)     

Michiel J. van der Meulen  Ad J. F. van der Spek  Ger de Lange  Stephan H. L. L. Gruijters  Serge F. van Gessel  Buu-Long Nguyen  Denise Maljers  Jeroen Schokker  Jan P. M. Mulder  Rob A. A. van der Krogt 《Journal of Soils and Sediments》2007,7(1):9-16

Background, Aim and Scope   Coastal and river plains are the surfaces of depositional systems, to which sediment input is a parameter of key-importance. Their habitation and economic development usually requires protection with dikes, quays, etc., which are effective in retaining floods but have the side effect of retarding sedimentation in their hinterlands. The flood-protected Dutch lowlands (so-called dike-ring areas) have been sediment-starved for up to about a millennium. In addition to this, peat decomposition and soil compaction, brought about by land drainage, have caused significant land subsidence. Sediment deficiency, defined as the combined effect of sediment-starvation and drainage-induced volume losses, has already been substantial in this area, and it is expected to become urgent in view of the forecasted effects of climate change (sea-level rise, intensified precipitation and run-off). We therefore explore this deficiency, compare it with natural (Holocene) and current human sediment inputs, and discuss it in terms of long-term land-use options. Materials and Methods: We use available 3D geological models to define natural sediment inputs to our study area. Recent progress in large-scale modelling of peat oxidation and compaction enables us to address volume loss associated with these processes. Human sediment inputs are based on published minerals statistics. All results are given as first-order approximations. Results: The current sediment deficit in the diked lowlands of the Netherlands is estimated at 136 ± 67 million m3/a. About 85% of this volume is the hypothetical amount of sediment required to keep up with sea-level rise, and 15% is the effect of land drainage (peat decomposition and compaction). The average Holocene sediment input to our study area (based on a total of 145 km3) is ~14 million m3/a, and the maximum (millennium-averaged) input ~26 million m3/a. Historical sediment deficiency has resulted in an unused sediment accommodation space of about 13.3 km3. Net human input of sediment material currently amounts to ~23 million m3/a. Discussion: As sedimentary processes in the Dutch lowlands have been retarded, the depositional system's natural resilience to sea-level rise is low, and all that is left to cope is human countermeasure. Preserving some sort of status quo with water management solutions may reach its limits in the foreseeable future. The most viable long-term solutions therefore seem a combination of allowing for more water in open country (anything from flood-buffer zones to open water) and raising lands that are to be built up (enabling their lasting protection). As to the latter, doubling or tripling the use of filling sand in a planned and sustained effort may resolve up to one half of the Dutch sediment deficiency problems in about a century. Conclusions: Conclusions, Recommendations and Perspectives. We conclude that sediment deficiency – past, present and future – challenges the sustainable habitation of the Dutch lowlands. In order to explore possible solutions, we recommend the development of long-term scenarios for the changing lowland physiography, that include the effects of Global Change, compensation measures, costs and benefits, and the implications for long-term land-use options.

Studies of Wet Deposition and Dustfall at Pune, India     

A.G. Pillai  Medha S. Naik  G.A. Momin  P.S.P. Rao  P.D. Safai  K. Ali  Henning Rodhe  Lennart Granat 《Water, air, and soil pollution》2001,130(1-4):475-480

Rain water and dustfall deposition samples were collected at Pune, an urban site (1992–98) and at Sinhagad, a rural site (1992–94). The samples were collected with wet-only and bulk collectors at Pune and with bulk collector at Sinhagad. The samples were analyzed for major ions, pH and conductivity. The study showed that the rain water at both places is alkaline (pH > 5.6). The average pH at Pune was 6.1. Neutralising components, indicated by Ca and non sea salt (nss) Mg have higher concentrations than the acidifying components SO₄ and NO₃. The wet deposition fluxes of all the ionic components were higher than the dustfall fluxes. Relative contribution from dustfall was largest for K, Ca, Mg and NO₃. Dustfall was greater at Pune, compared to Sinhagad for all components and up to double for Ca.  相似文献   

Does transport of water to roots limit water uptake of field crops?     

Henning Kage  Wilfried Ehlers 《植物养料与土壤学杂志》1996,159(6):583-590

The question was examined under which conditions the water extraction rate of plant roots in the field can be limited by water transport to the roots. For this purpose we used a numerical solution of the single root model. Scenario calculations were carried out in order to investigate the general model behaviour. A sensitivity analysis showed that initial volumetric water content and root length density are of greater importance than root diameter in determining the maximum water transport rate to the roots. Data from a field experiment were taken, describing root length density, volumetric water content and water uptake rates under oats (Avena saliva L.) and faba beans (Vicia faba L.) as model input parameters. With this data the model calculated the water content difference between the bulk soil and the root surface which is necessary to induce a water flow to the roots matching the observed water uptake rate. Root length densities below the grain legume crop faba beans are one order of magnitude lower compared to that of the cereal crop oats. The therefore higher specific water influx rates of faba beans roots resulted in a higher decrease in water content near the root surface. However, water uptake by faba beans was controlled by the water flow towards the roots probably only in deeper soil layers with very low root length density. For the given conditions no transport limitation of water uptake was calculated, when rooting densities were higher than about 0.1 cm.cm^?3.  相似文献
