The water flow in larval rearing tanks has been indicated to cause mass mortality of the seven-band grouper Epinephelus septemfasciatus larvae. Therefore, a new aerating method was tested in an actual scale intensive rearing tank (8.0 m in diameter, 1.87 m
of water depth, 100 m3 of volume), in which an aerator was positioned at the center of the rearing tank surrounding cylindrical drain (1.2 m in
diameter) to generate the flow field, and seven larval rearing trials were performed. The survival rate with the former aeration
methods were compared, in which several aerators were located in the rearing tank. The survival rate at 10 days after hatching
with the new aeration method (61.5±5.1%, n=7) was approximately three times higher than the former methods (21.2±13.7%, n=6). The flow environment of rearing tanks was also examined by quantifying the flow field, and the relationship between the
flow field in the rearing tank, behavior of larvae and survival discussed. It was confirmed that the vertical circulating
flow was observed in rearing tanks, and determined effectively the survival and the behavior of grouper larvae in patchiness. 相似文献

Marine fish larvae are fragile against physical stress. However, few studies have been conducted to evaluate the flow field in a rearing tank, which is assumed to provide a high degree of physical stress to marine fish larvae. The flow field in a rearing tank (volume of 1 m3) is generated by aerators, which are commonly used to provide oxygen.
This paper is a report on the estimation of stationary flow in the rearing tank of marine fish larvae. The larvae are seven band grouper larvae of Epinephelus septemfasciatus, which have a very low survival rate immediately after the hatching of eggs. The experiments of rearing of seven band grouper larvae were carried out using rearing tanks with four aeration rates (1000, 200, 50 ml/min, and no aeration). The effects of aeration on the survival and floating death of seven band grouper larvae were examined. The experiments confirmed that the mass mortality of seven band grouper larvae depends on the flow rate in the rearing tank. Aeration at 200 ml/min resulted in the highest survival and growth rates of grouper larvae.
Larvae-rearing experiments provided evidence that the flow rates of the rearing tanks are very important design aspects of rearing tanks. The estimation of flow in a rearing tank for an aerating rate of 200 ml/min was carried out by numerical calculation. The computation was simplified by a two-dimensional flow based on experimental results. The calculated flow in the rearing tank was compared with the experimental one. The calculation of the stationary flow in the rearing tank showed good qualitative and quantitative agreement with the experimental results. The numerical estimation of the flow in a rearing tank of marine fish larvae was confirmed to be effective and satisfactory for the design of a tank that would provide optimum performance. 相似文献

Cathepsin K was originally identified as an osteoclast-specific lysosomal protease, the inhibitor of which has been considered might have therapeutic potential. We show that inhibition of cathepsin K could potently suppress autoimmune inflammation of the joints as well as osteoclastic bone resorption in autoimmune arthritis. Furthermore, cathepsin K-/- mice were resistant to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Pharmacological inhibition or targeted disruption of cathepsin K resulted in defective Toll-like receptor 9 signaling in dendritic cells in response to unmethylated CpG DNA, which in turn led to attenuated induction of T helper 17 cells, without affecting the antigen-presenting ability of dendritic cells. These results suggest that cathepsin K plays an important role in the immune system and may serve as a valid therapeutic target in autoimmune diseases. 相似文献

Urbanisation is increasing tremendously in some parts of the world. Consequently, many rural forests may become depleted, although many opportunities exist for urban forests to increase. However, few studies have quantified the carbon (C) sequestration capacities of urban and rural forests in specific climatic zones. The present study compared carbon sequestration in two temperate deciduous forests located in Nagoya and Toyota, central Japan. The Nagoya University forest represented an urban forest, and a site in Toyota represented a rural forest. The urban forest at Nagoya University had comparatively smaller areas of green space and larger areas of buildings and roads. Land uses for building and road, which are typical of urban areas, result in smaller diurnal temperature ranges but higher air temperature, vapour pressure deficit, and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration. The urban forest in this study exhibited higher gross ecosystem exchange (GEE), especially in the active growing season from May to September, suggesting the possible effect of CO2 fertilisation. However, higher air temperatures caused comparatively smaller net ecosystem exchange (NEE) because of higher ecosystem respiration (RE). Although both forests functioned as CO2 sinks at annual time scales, the rural Toyota forest site (5.43 t C ha–1 yr–1) had 36% higher net ecosystem production (NEP=–NEE; the negative sign indicates uptake by the forest ecosystem from the atmosphere) than that at the urban forest. The higher normalised respiration (i.e., RE/GPP ratio; GPP=–GEE where GPP represents gross primary production) at the Nagoya University forest might be attributable to factors associated with the degree of urbanisation. Thus, in temperate forests, factors associated with urbanisation may reduce the atmospheric carbon sink function by accelerating respiration. This is an issue of global interest, as many countries are experiencing rapid urbanisation. 相似文献

The effect of rice plant growth on the loss of basal nitrogen (N) through denitrification in the rhizosphere of subsurface soil was investigated by the 15N balance method. Labeled 15N was applied to the deep soil layer to distinguish between the N losses in the surface and subsurface soils. Denitrification in pots with whole plants (Control) was compared with that in pots with plants cut off at the base of the culm (Pcut) to evaluate the effect of plant growth on denitrification. The upward movement of the applied 15N from the deep soil was negligible. Thus, the amount of unrecovered 15N was equal to the amount of N lost through denitrification in the rhizosphere of the subsurface soil (20–150 mm soil depth). In the Control treatment, values of redox potential at 50 and 90 mm soil depths were negative throughout the experimental period. Therefore, it was assumed that the redox potential could not have been the limiting factor for the N loss through denitrification in this experiment. The α-naphthylamine-oxidizing activity of roots decreased drastically after the cutting treatment. The estimated amount of de nitrified 15N in the rhizosphere of the subsurface soil was significantly higher in the Pcut treatment than in the Control one at 30 and 40 d after transplanting (DAT), while it was comparable in the two treatments at 52 and 64 DAT. Since a greater amount of 15N loss was found to occur when there was no absorption of 15N by the plants, the absorption of 15N by plants may have contributed to the suppression of denitrification. The amount of immobilized 15N in the Control treatment was larger than that of the Pcut treatment throughout the experiment. N immobilization might have also contributed to the suppression of denitrification in the rhizosphere of the subsurface soil. 相似文献

A persistent, spasmic and productive cough known as filarial cough often occurs in dogs with dirofilariosis, and has been considered to be the consequence of an allergic response to Dirofilaria immitis. Twenty-one dogs with filarial cough were subcutaneously injected with worm antigen (200 micrograms of protein concentration) extracted from adult D. immitis once a day for 5 days. These injections were effective for 17 (81%) of the dogs, resulting in a complete cure for 7 dogs and marked improvement for 10 dogs. 相似文献

A stemflow (SF) estimation model, based on the correlation between coefficients (a andb) of the regression equation (SF=aP
g −b, whereP
g is gross rainfall) obtained from sample tree and their diameter at breast height (DBH), is presented. Estimation by the model
forSF from two deciduous broad-leaved forests shows favorable agreement with the measurement. Once the equations for regression
coefficients are determined, the model has the potential to easily estimateSF from an entire stand through sampling of some representative trees. However, the model is site-specific. In order to mitigate
the weakness of this model, the combination of previous results provided generalized equations for the coefficients. The generalized
equation adequately estimatedSF of some forests while its estimation was biased for other forests, which indicates thatSF variation between forests is closely related to structural differences. Actually, theSF frequency distribution of two forest stands was significantly different. So, influence of structural factors onSF was also studied using funneling ratio (FR) that integrates the efficiency of trunk and canopy characteristics toSF. Comparison ofFR showed thatSF was significantly correlated to crown-projection area (CPA) and basal area at breast height (BA). Parameters (β
1 andβ
2) within the model were significantly correlated to respective stand density and leaf area index (LAI).

We examined the vertical profiles of leaf characteristics within the crowns of two late-successional (Fagus crenata Blume and Fagus japonica Maxim.) and one early-successional tree species (Betula grossa Sieb. et Zucc.) in a Japanese forest. We also assessed the contributions of the leaves in each crown layer to whole-crown instantaneous carbon gain at midday. Carbon gain was estimated from the relationship between electron transport and photosynthetic rates. We hypothesized that more irradiance can penetrate into the middle of the crown if the upper crown layers have steep leaf inclination angles. We found that such a crown has a high whole-crown carbon gain, even if leaf traits do not change greatly with decreasing crown height. Leaf area indices (LAIs) of the two Fagus trees (5.26-5.52) were higher than the LAI of the B. grossa tree (4.50) and the leaves of the F. crenata tree were more concentrated in the top crown layers than were leaves of the other trees. Whole-crown carbon gain per unit ground area (micromol m(-2) ground s(-1)) at midday on fine days in summer was 16.3 for F. crenata, 11.0 for F. japonica, and 20.4 for B. grossa. In all study trees, leaf dry mass (LMA) and leaf nitrogen content (N) per unit area decreased with decreasing height in the crown, but leaf N per unit mass increased. Variations (plasticity) between the uppermost and lowermost crown layers in LMA, leaf N, the ratio of chlorophyll to N and the ratio of chlorophyll a to b were smaller for F. japonica and B. grossa than for F. crenata. The light extinction coefficients in the crowns were lower for the F. japonica and B. grossa trees than for the F. crenata tree. The leaf carbon isotope ratio (delta(13)C) was higher for F. japonica and B. grossa than for F. crenata, especially in the mid-crown. These results suggest that, in crowns with low leaf plasticity but steep leaf inclination angles, such as those of F. japonica and B. grossa trees, irradiance can penetrate into the middle of the crowns, thereby enhancing whole-crown carbon gain. 相似文献
