Quantum-confined stark effect in single CdSe nanocrystallite quantum dots     

SA Empedocles  MG Bawendi 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1997,278(5346):2114-2117

The quantum-confined Stark effect in single cadmium selenide (CdSe) nanocrystallite quantum dots was studied. The electric field dependence of the single-dot spectrum is characterized by a highly polarizable excited state ( approximately 10(5) cubic angstroms, compared to typical molecular values of order 10 to 100 cubic angstroms), in the presence of randomly oriented local electric fields that change over time. These local fields result in spontaneous spectral diffusion and contribute to ensemble inhomogeneous broadening. Stark shifts of the lowest excited state more than two orders of magnitude larger than the linewidth were observed, suggesting the potential use of these dots in electro-optic modulation devices.  相似文献

Masson三色染色与HE染色在豚鼠牙齿组织石蜡切片中的比较研究及应用     

韩天龙  王敏  红敏  萨其仍贵  查干其其格  和希格  孙德欣 《中国畜牧兽医》2011,38(3):55-57

针对牙齿组织形态学研究的难点,选择适宜固定液,用EDTA-2Na进行脱钙,完成了牙齿组织石蜡切片的制作。通过确定染色程序及各种染料的最佳作用时间,分别利用Masson三色染色法、传统的苏木精和伊红（HE）染色法对牙齿组织切片进行了染色观察。染色结果表明,与HE染色法相比,Masson三色染色更能使牙齿的各主要成分以不同颜色显现出来,色彩对比鲜明,亮丽润眼,为牙齿组织生理及病理组织形态学研究奠定了基础。针对机体中硬组织的相似特性,该试验方法可以在骨骼、软骨等硬组织的形态学研究中参考、改进并推广使用。  相似文献

骨质疏松症是以骨量减少、骨的微观结构退化为特征,致使骨的脆性增加并易于发生骨折的一种全身性骨骼疾病,是当前严重危害人类特别是绝经妇女和老人的疾病之一.近年来出现了许多预防和治疗骨质疏松症的药物,极大地推动了骨质疏松症理论基础的完善和临床治疗研究.就该领域的研究进展进行了简要综述.  相似文献   

The haematological and biochemical effects of the gastrointestinal nematodes prevalent in camels (Camelus dromedarius) in central Saudi Arabia     

E. M. Haroun  O. M. Mahmoud  M. Magzoub  Y. Abdel Hamid  O. H. Omer 《Veterinary research communications》1996,20(3):255-264

Coprological examinations on 1200 Najdi camels (Camelus dromedarius) in the Gassim region of central Saudi Arabia between October 1992 and September 1993 revealed the presence of strongyletype, Nematodirus and Strongyloides eggs. In addition, examination of the gastrointestinal tracts of 240 camels slaughtered in different abattoirs in the Gassim region from March to August 1994 revealed 11 species of helminths. Infection with gastrointestinal trichostronglyes resulted in normocytic, normochromic anaemia. Adult infected camels showed leukocytosis, a decrease in total serum protein concentration and increases in blood urea concentration and in serum creatine phosphokinase activity.Abbreviations ALP alkaline phosphatase - AST aspartate aminotransferase - CPK creatine phosphokinase; epg, eggs per gram - GGT gamma-glutamyl transferase - Hb haemoglobin - MCV mean corpuscular volume - MCHC mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration - PCV packed cell volume - RBC red blood cell  相似文献   

Observations on blood coagulation after snakebite in dogs and cats     

SA. HOLLOWAY  BW. PARRY† 《Australian veterinary journal》1989,66(11):364-366

Blood samples from 13 cases of snakebite, 6 in dogs and 7 in cats, were tested for activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT) and fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products (FDP). Four cases were tested for fibrinogen concentration. Based on the results of a commercially available ELISA test, 9 cases were caused by tiger snakes (Notechis scutatus) and 1 case by a brown snake (Pseudonaja textilis). Three other cases had clinical signs and increased creatine phosphokinase values which suggested tiger snake envenomation. Although the period post-envenomation varied, results indicated a marked prolongation of the APTT and PT in 5 of 6 dogs. Three of these 5 dogs also had increased FDP values and 3 (of 3 examined) were hypofibrinogenaemic. Clinical manifestations of this coagulopathy were: haematoma formation after venepuncture (3 cases), gingival petechiae (1 case) and hyphaema (1 case). In contrast, there was minimal or no prolongation of the APTT and PT values, and no increase in FDP, in all 7 cats. Furthermore, no cat exhibited clinical signs of a coagulopathy.  相似文献   

Effect of Date of Planting, Genotype and Source of Seed on Disease Incidence, Yield, and Agronomic Performance of Soybean     

M. A. Omer  V. T. Sapra  R. P. Pacumbaba 《Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science》1989,163(5):297-307

Four soybean genotypes chosen from four seed sources were planted in a factorial arrangement on four dates in a split-plot design at the Alabama A & M Experimental Station on a Decatur silt clay loam soil. The highest vigor index was recorded from seeds harvested from the 4th date of planting. These seeds had the lowest level of Diaporthe phaseolorum var. caulivora infection, indicating that vigor index, as a measurement of seed quality, was negatively correlated with the level of infection by soybean stem canker pathogen. Seed yield was highest at the 2nd date of planting and lowest at the 4th date of planting. Tracy-M and Bedford confirmed previous reports on their resistance and susceptibility, respectively, to soybean stem canker. All the genotypes performed their best at the 2nd date of planting. Source of seeds appeared to have little effect on the performance of the plant in the field.  相似文献   

The role of extruded disk material in thoracolumbar intervertebral disk disease: a retrospective study in 40 dogs     

Besalti O  Ozak A  Pekcan Z  Tong S  Eminaga S  Tacal T 《The Canadian veterinary journal. La revue veterinaire canadienne》2005,46(9):814-820

The objective of the study was to determine the effect of the dispersed or nondispersed form of the extruded disk material (EDM) on the neurological status and surgical outcomes in Hansen thoracolumbar intervertebral disk disease Type I (IVDD-I). Medical records of 40 dogs with IVDD-I were reviewed, including neurologic status on admission, findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), intraoperative findings, and surgical outcomes. In MRI evaluations, EDM was on the right in 16, on the left in 18, and centrally in 6 cases; in all cases, findings were confirmed by surgery. Extruded disk material was localized and classified as dispersed disk (DD) or nondispersed disk (NDD) according to its dispersion in the epidural space on MRI. Twenty-five dogs had DD and 15 had NDD on both MRI and surgery. There was no significant difference between DD and NDD in preoperative neurological status and surgical outcomes (P > 0.05).  相似文献   

Prevalence of antibodies to Brucella spp. and individual risk Factors of Infection in Traditional Cattle, Goats and Sheep Reared in Livestock–Wildlife Interface Areas of Zambia     

Muma JB  Samui KL  Siamudaala VM  Oloya J  Matop G  Omer MK  Munyeme M  Mubita C  Skjerve E 《Tropical animal health and production》2006,38(3):195-206

A cross-sectional study was performed in the livestock–wildlife interface areas of Lochinvar and Blue Lagoon National Parks and the non-interface area of Kazungula to determine the prevalence of antibodies to Brucella spp. in domestic ruminants and identify individual animal risk factors of infection. A total of 1245 cattle from 124 herds and 280 goats and sheep from 29 flocks were tested sequentially for Brucella antibodies using the Rose Bengal test (RBT) and competitive ELISA. In cattle, individual seroprevalence ranged from 14.1% to 28.1%, while herd sero–prevalence ranged from 46.2% to 74.0% in the three study areas. No goat or sheep tested positive for Brucella antibodies. Three types of cattle grazing strategies were encountered: locally grazed herds (LGH), transhumantly grazed herds (TGH) and river flood plain grazed herds (FGH). Brucella seroprevalence was seen to vary according to area and grazing strategy: Lochinvar and transhumant grazed herds recorded the highest figures, respectively. Age, sex and history of abortion were found to have independent effects on individual seroprevalence. This study establishes that brucellosis is endemic in domestic animals in the livestock–wildlife interface areas of Blue Lagoon and Lochinvar national parks and the disease is also present in Kazungula. We observed that type of grazing strategy had significant impact on cattle Brucella seroprevalence and that transhumant herds were at high risk of being infected.  相似文献
