Wood-boring bivalves, opportunistic species in the deep sea     

Turner RD 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1973,180(4093):1377-1379

Wood exposed for 104 days at a depth of 1830 meters at the permanent station of the research submersible D.S.R.V. Alvin was completely riddled by two species of bivalve wood borers (subfamily Xylophagainae, family Pholadidae). Their high reproductive rate, high population density, rapid growth, early maturity, and utilization of a transient habitat classify them as opportunistic species, the first recorded from the deep sea. Xylophaga is shown to be the most important species involved in decomposing woody plant material in the deep sea.  相似文献   

Echo-planar imaging: magnetic resonance imaging in a fraction of a second   总被引：14，自引：0，他引：14  

M K Stehling  R Turner  P Mansfield 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1991,254(5028):43-50

Progress has recently been made in implementing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques that can be used to obtain images in a fraction of a second rather than in minutes. Echo-planar imaging (EPI) uses only one nuclear spin excitation per image and lends itself to a variety of critical medical and scientific applications. Among these are evaluation of cardiac function in real time, mapping of water diffusion and temperature in tissue, mapping of organ blood pool and perfusion, functional imaging of the central nervous system, depiction of blood and cerebrospinal fluid flow dynamics, and movie imaging of the mobile fetus in utero. Through shortened patient examination times, higher patient throughput, and lower cost per MRI examination, EPI may become a powerful tool for early diagnosis of some common and potentially treatable diseases such as ischemic heart disease, stroke, and cancer.  相似文献

Prehistoric raised-field agriculture in the maya lowlands     

Turner BL  Harrison PD 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1981,213(4506):399-405

The ground pattems found in Pulitrouser Swamp, northern Belize, are vestiges of raised and channelized fields, types of wetland cultivation used by the ancient Maya. This form of hydraulic cultivation was apparently employed sometime between 200 B.C. and A.D. 850. The environment of the swamp, the fields and canals, and one nearby settlement, Kokeal, are described. The evidence indicates that the large number of well-defined ground patterns reported in other areas in the central Maya lowlands are probably vestiges of Maya wetland cultivation.  相似文献

Comment on "The response of vegetation on the Andean flank in western Amazonia to Pleistocene climate change"     

Punyasena SW  Dalling JW  Jaramillo C  Turner BL 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》2011,333(6051):1825; author reply 1825

Cárdenas et al. (Reports, 25 February 2011, p. 1055) used the presence of Podocarpus pollen and wood to infer ≥5°C cooling of Andean forests during Quaternary glacial periods. We show that (i) Podocarpus has a wide elevation range in the Neotropics, and (ii) edaphic factors cannot be discounted as a factor governing its distribution. Paleoecologists should therefore reevaluate Podocarpus as a cool-temperature proxy.  相似文献

Irreversibility of sulfate sorption on goethite and hematite     

Laurie J. Turner  James R. Kramer 《Water, air, and soil pollution》1992,63(1-2):23-32

Sulfate ion adsorption and desorption experiments carried out on synthetic goethite and hematite and natural hematite show adsorption to be a highly irreversible reaction. All oxides showed an increase in sulfate ion adsorption with decrease in pH. Only a small fraction of sorbed sulfate was desorbable after 48 hr, and only at a pH of 3. Extreme irreversibility of sulfate sorption on these common soil minerals suggests that adsorbed sulfate is more immobile in watersheds than previously considered and that recovery models which inherently assume reversibility may need to be modified.  相似文献   

High pressure liquid chromatographic determination of zearalenone in chicken tissues   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

G V Turner  T D Phillips  N D Heidelbaugh  L H Russell 《Journal of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists》1983,66(1):102-104

A method is reported for the extraction and analysis of zearalenone in chicken fat, heart muscle, and kidney tissue by using high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Zearalenone is extracted with acetonitrile, cleaned up with hexane, and extracted further with ethyl acetate. Zearalenone is determined by HPLC using a reverse phase radial compression separation system, an ultraviolet absorbance detector, and a mobile phase of acetonitrile-water (60 + 40) (v/v). Recoveries of zearalenone added at levels from 50 to 200 ng/g are in the range 82.6-95.1%.  相似文献
