原位现场γ谱仪具有快速准确监测土壤中环境放射性核素137Cs和210Pbex的潜力,可以解决传统环境放射性核素示踪土壤侵蚀在选择参考点和测定时间过长问题。本研究应用现场γ谱仪(ISOCS,In-situObject Counting System),对内蒙古锡林浩特草原土壤中137Cs和210Pbex的含量进行了田间原位(不采样)测定,并与室内γ谱仪测定结果进行了比对。结果显示:现场γ谱仪的探头离地面1m,采用90度准直器,测量时间保证3600s以上时,测定的土壤中137Cs面积浓度与室内测定结果一致,二者的平均偏差为8%,表明现场γ谱仪测定具有较高精度,是快速评价土壤侵蚀速率的有效技术;210Pbex的原位测定结果显著高于室内测定结果,可能由于测定时间较短所致。初步研究结果表明:原位测定具有时间短、精度高的优点,可以克服传统采样造成的空间变异误差。  相似文献   

Phosphorylation by p38 MAPK as an alternative pathway for GSK3beta inactivation     

Thornton TM  Pedraza-Alva G  Deng B  Wood CD  Aronshtam A  Clements JL  Sabio G  Davis RJ  Matthews DE  Doble B  Rincon M 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》2008,320(5876):667-670

Glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK3beta) is involved in metabolism, neurodegeneration, and cancer. Inhibition of GSK3beta activity is the primary mechanism that regulates this widely expressed active kinase. Although the protein kinase Akt inhibits GSK3beta by phosphorylation at the N terminus, preventing Akt-mediated phosphorylation does not affect the cell-survival pathway activated through the GSK3beta substrate beta-catenin. Here, we show that p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) also inactivates GSK3beta by direct phosphorylation at its C terminus, and this inactivation can lead to an accumulation of beta-catenin. p38 MAPK-mediated phosphorylation of GSK3beta occurs primarily in the brain and thymocytes. Activation of beta-catenin-mediated signaling through GSK3beta inhibition provides a potential mechanism for p38 MAPK-mediated survival in specific tissues.  相似文献   

The role of flow dependency and water availability in fish assemblage homogenization in tributaries of the Chattahoochee River,Alabama, USA          下载免费PDF全文

Katelyn M. Lawson  Carol E. Johnston 《Ecology of Freshwater Fish》2016,25(4):631-641

The availability of water is becoming more variable as flow regime alterations intensify both locally and on a global scale. This pattern has been observed in the tributaries of the central Chattahoochee River System as water withdrawal and natural drought have caused flows to diminish. Stream discharge has steadily decreased in the study area by 31% over the last 50 years, and during this time, fish assemblage homogenization has occurred throughout the system. Our primary objective was to assess whether spawning mode and water availability are catalysts for fish assemblage change in tributaries of the Chattahoochee River System. We found that species which prefer or have adapted to low flow conditions (e.g. blacktail shiner Cyprinella venusta, redbreast sunfish Lepomis auritus and blackbanded darter Percina nigrofasciata) are becoming dominant and replacing historically dominant fluvial specialists. When examining short‐term changes between a dry year (2009) and a wet year (2010), some species preferring higher flows such as the highscale shiner Notropis hypsilepis were detected during the wet year, suggesting that the amount of water is important for the presence of these species in upstream reaches where they were historically abundant. Species that can reproduce successfully in low flow conditions are thriving and expanding their native ranges as more habitat becomes suitable. Species that require higher flows for part of their life cycle, however, appear to be declining from upstream areas as water availability continues to decrease, despite temporary recovery from downstream refugia during wet years.  相似文献   

Promotion of stomatal infiltration of glyphosate by an organosilicone surfactant reduces the critical rainfall period     

Roger J. Field  Nicholas G. Bishop 《Pest management science》1988,24(1):55-62

The addition of the organosilicone surfactant ‘Silwet L77’ at 1-5 ml litre^?1 to formulated glyphosate gave complete surface wetting on application to the adaxial leaf surface of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). The wetting characteristics of the solution were associated with rapid foliar uptake and near maximal uptake in 3 h compared to greater than 5 h in the absence of ‘Silwet L77’. Evidence is presented showing that solutions containing ‘Silwet L77’ rapidly infiltrate stomata. Rapid uptake did not occur after application to the astomatous abaxial surface of perennial ryegrass leaves. The rapid rate of glyphosate uptake reduced the critical rainfall period to 2 h or less, compared to up to 10 h in the absence of ‘Silwet L77’. The use of ‘Silwet L77’ has major practical implications for the use of glyphosate in regions with unpredictable rainfall or high rainfall frequency.  相似文献   

Activity of two novel insecticides against permethrin-resistant Pseudoplusia includens     

James D. Thomas  Jeffrey S. Mink  David J. Boethel  Alan T. Wier  B. Roger Leonard 《Pest management science》1994,40(3):239-243

Two experimental insecticides, AC 303,630 and MK 244, were tested against a laboratory colony and three field strains of Pseudoplusia includens (Walker). Topical application bioassays indicated that permethrin resistance in the field strains ranged from 3.9 to 489.0-fold. In leaf dip bioassays, LC₅₀ and LC₉₀ values for AC 303,630 ranged from 6.7 to 15.1 mg litre ?1 and 8.7 to 28.2 mg litre ?1, respectively, for third-instar larvae. The Louisiana 1991 field strain was significantly more susceptible to AC 303,630 than the laboratory and other field strains. The LC₅₀ (but not LC₉₀) for the Louisiana 1992 field strain was significantly higher than that of the laboratory strain. However, there was no difference in toxicity of AC 303,630 between the field strain with the highest level of permethrin resistance and the laboratory strain. LC₅₀ and LC₉₀ values for MK 244 in leaf dip bioassays ranged from 0.014 to 0.023 mg litre ?1 and 0.079 to 0.174 mg litre ?1, respectively. There were no significant differences in LC 50 or LC 90 among any of the strains for MK 244. Field trials in soybean were also conducted in 1991 and 1992 in an area of Louisiana where permethrin efficacy against P. includens has declined. In both years, AC 303,630 at 0.11–0.22 kg ha ?1, and MK 244 at 0.0042–0.0084 kg ha ?1, provided significantly better control than permethrin at 0.11 kg ha ?1, and control equal to the recommended standard, thiodicarb. These studies indicate no cross-resistance exists between the experimental insecticides and permethrin.  相似文献

Evaluation of the safety of ivermectin-praziquantel administered orally to pregnant mares     

Mercier P  Alves-Branco F  Sapper Mde F  White CR 《American journal of veterinary research》2003,64(10):1221-1224

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety of an orally administered ivermectin and praziquantel paste with regard to variables associated with clinical findings, parturition, lactation, maternal care, and neonate viability in pregnant mares. ANIMALS: 40 pregnant mares. PROCEDURE: Mares were randomly allocated into treatment (n = 20) and control (20) groups and administered a placebo or 3 times the therapeutic dosage of ivermectin (0.6 mg/kg) and praziquantel (4.5 mg/kg) at 14-day intervals until parturition. Physical examinations were performed on mares and their foals after parturition (on postpartum days 30, 60, and 90) to identify any drug-related effects. As an aid in assessing general health, hematologic and serum biochemical analyses were performed monthly on the mares. RESULTS: In blood constituents, minor alterations that were not biologically important were observed. Reproductive performance was not affected by the unusual treatment duration or high dosage, although the drugs were administered during a crucial period of equine embryonic development (30 to 60 days). Neither adverse effects on mares nor abortions occurred. Follow-up evaluations of the foals for a 3-month period did not detect any abnormalities. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Administration of the ivermectin-praziquantel paste appears to be safe in pregnant mares and their foals.  相似文献
