Thin interdigitated films composed of a long-chain, water-insoluble chiral acid (p-pentadecylmandelic acid of absolute configuration R) and a water-soluble chiral base (phenylethylamine, R') were constructed at the air-solution interface. The (R, R') structure was characterized to near-atomic resolution by grazing-incidence x-ray diffraction (GIXD). The two diastereomeric systems, (R, R') and (R, S'), demonstrate similar surface pressure-molecular area isotherms, but their structures are completely different on the molecular level, as monitored by GIXD. Complementary data on these two architectures were provided by atomic force microscopy. 相似文献

Current reactive pest management methods have serious drawbacks such as the heavy reliance on chemicals, emerging genetic rodenticide resistance and high secondary exposure risks. Rodent control needs to be based on pest species ecology and ethology to facilitate the development of ecologically based rodent management (EBRM). An important aspect of EBRM is a strong understanding of rodent pest species ecology, behaviour and spatiotemporal factors. Gaining insight into the behaviour of pest species is a key aspect of EBRM. The landscape of fear (LOF) is a mapping of the spatial variation in the foraging cost arising from the risk of predation, and reflects the levels of fear a prey species perceives at different locations within its home range. In practice, the LOF maps habitat use as a result of perceived fear, which shows where bait or traps are most likely to be encountered and used by rodents. Several studies have linked perceived predation risk of foraging animals with quitting‐harvest rates or giving‐up densities (GUDs). GUDs have been used to reflect foraging behaviour strategies of predator avoidance, but to our knowledge very few papers have directly used GUDs in relation to pest management strategies. An opportunity for rodent control strategies lies in the integration of the LOF of rodents in EBRM methodologies. Rodent management could be more efficient and effective by concentrating on those areas where rodents perceive the least levels of predation risk. © 2017 The Authors.

This study had the aim of investigating the efficiency of timed artificial insemination (TAI) through the progesterone‐releasing intravaginal device (PRID), used in new condition and for the second and third times in Nelore cows. The effects of device reuse and body condition score (BCS) on the conception rate (CR) were evaluated in 1,122 multiparous Nelore cows (mean BCS of 2.7 ± 0.4), which were randomly distributed into three groups that received new (n = 330), once (n = 439) and twice used (n = 353) PRID. Among the 1,122 females that underwent TAI, 573 became pregnant, thus representing an overall CR of 51.06%. Cows with BCS between 2.75 and 4.0 had greater (p < .0001) CR (69.75%) than cows with BSC of 2.0–2.5 (32.98%). It was observed that the CR through using PRID was 60.00%, 51.71% and 41.93% for new, once and twice used PRID, respectively, with difference between all groups (p < .0001). Under tropical conditions, animals with BCS greater than 2.5 had a higher CR, and the CR decreased proportionally with the number of times that the PRID had been used. 相似文献

The aim of this research was to evaluate the efficacy of zinc gluconate associated with dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) for chemical neutering in canine males. Fifteen sexually mature male dogs were divided in two groups, named control and treated. An injection was administered to both testicles, at a concentration of 26.2 mg zinc gluconate per ml and 0.5% DMSO in the treated group (11 dogs). The control group was given injections of saline solution (four dogs). Clinical examination and blood collection for a haemogram were done both before and after drug injection. There were 12 spermograms performed to analyse sperm motility, sperm vigour, ejaculate volume, testicle size, pathology and sperm concentrations. Libido was also measured. An ultrasound examination and histopathology were performed at the end of the experiment. Dogs’ libido after chemical injection was reduced by over 50%. The spermogram analysis showed final mean results of 14.54% for sperm motility, 0.72 of sperm vigour and 37 150 per million spermatozoa per millilitre, values considered below the necessary levels at which fertilization can occur. Ultrasound and histopathology analyses of testicles for the treated group revealed more intense injuries when compared with the control group, with compromised testicular parenchyma and a decrease of germ cell number leading to total atrophy, indicating that the treatment reduced the fertilizing potential of male dogs, promoting a possible subfertile status. 相似文献

Sixteen radiocarbon dates extending back to 70,000 years provide a chronology for the continuous continental pollen record of Grande Pile. This record reflects climatic changes over the last 140,000 years in northeastern France. The cold period initiating the Middle Weichselian, dated previously at 55,000 years, is dated at 70,000 years before the present (B.P.) at Grande Pile. This event is marked by the disappearance of deciduous forests at this site. The Early Weichselian is placed before 70,000 years B.P. A correlation with the oxygen isotope stages from oceanic records is demonstrated until 70,000 years B.P. and attempted beyond. 相似文献

We observe a strong Kondo effect in a semiconductor quantum dot when a small magnetic field is applied. The Coulomb blockade for electron tunneling is overcome completely by the Kondo effect, and the conductance reaches the unitary limit value. We compare the experimental Kondo temperature with the theoretical predictions for the spin- 12 Anderson impurity model. Excellent agreement is found throughout the Kondo regime. Phase coherence is preserved when a Kondo quantum dot is included in one of the arms of an Aharonov-Bohm ring structure, and the phase behavior differs from previous results on a non-Kondo dot. 相似文献

The relationship between the severity of natural freezing and frost damage (FFD) and the observed growth recovery and field production of Superior potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) was investigated under screen house conditions. Potato plants were damaged by accidental freezing and frost during the early phase of shoot growth, 40 days after planting in highland summer crop areas in Korea. The observations of FFD were classified visually into “severe” (>75%), “moderate” (50%), “mild” (<25%), and “no FFD”, based on the percentage of the area of the shoots which was damaged. The early vegetative growth recovery, in terms of groundcover, was reduced as the level of FFD increased. At 28 days after a freezing and frost damage (DAFF), the potato plants with mild or no symptoms had produced more groundcover than the plants with moderate or severe symptoms. At 35 DAFF, groundcover was the same across all levels of severity, at nearly 100%. Despite the slower canopy development, plants with FFD achieved a higher fresh shoot weight and total chlorophyll content, whereas physiological growth indices such as photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance of leaves were not different among levels of FFD at 60 DAFF. The number of lateral stems and days to tuberization increased significantly as the level of FFD increased; however, the harvest index, the number of tubers per plant, and seed tuber production were all reduced in plants with severe FFD. In addition, the tubers from plants with severe FFD had an increased ratio of length to width and 40% more tuber eyes than tubers from undamaged plants. The elongated tubers also showed an increase in cell division, demonstrated by higher numbers of cells in the cortical zones. The aforementioned measurements were obtained from natural event and led to a deduction that Superior has a capacity to recover from FFD, unless the plants were severely damaged (>75%) early in the season. 相似文献

An increasing number of laboratory tests are available for diagnosis of gastrointestinal tract diseases in dogs and cats. Use of these tests can lead to more accurate and rapid diagnoses. This review discusses laboratory tests, both new and old, and the role they currently play in the evaluation of animals presented with gastrointestinal problems. A minimum database helps assess the severity of the disorder, detect extra-gastrointestinal causes of problems and assists in formulating diagnostic and therapeutic plans. Faecal examination remains one of the most important diagnostic procedures in the investigation of gastrointestinal problems. Zinc sulphate faecal flotation is an excellent routine screening technique for helminth and protozoal infections, including giardiasis. Rectal cytology can assist in the diagnosis of large bowel disorders. Interpretation of faecal immunodiagnostic tests is hampered by insufficient knowledge of test sensitivities and specificities. Routine faecal cultures are not warranted and faecal occult blood tests are rarely indicated. Serum tests for gastric inflammation are now under development. The serum trypsin-like immunoreactivity test remains the gold standard technique for the diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Breath hydrogen tests can be helpful in assessing the functional relevance of mild abnormalities in small-bowel biopsy specimens. Subnormal concentrations of serum cobalamin appear to be more specific indicators of gastrointestinal disease in cats than in dogs. Tests for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth remain controversial and assessment of gastrointestinal permeability has yet to prove its value in the diagnostic assessment of companion animals with gastrointestinal problems. Faecal alpha1-protease inhibitor (α1-PI) shows promise for the diagnosis of protein-losing enteropathy. 相似文献

Somatic cell nuclear transfer, the first established technique for producing patient-specific autologous stem cells, inevitably requires the sacrifice of viable embryos. To circumvent the serious ethical issues associated with this use of embryos, researchers have developed several alternative methods for the production of histocompatible stem cells. In our research, we have used two methods to derive histocompatible stem cells from murine ovarian tissue. First, we have established autologous stem cells by culturing degeneration-fated preantral follicles to produce developmentally competent, mature oocytes and then parthenogenetically activating these mature oocytes to acquire genetic homogeneity. Second, we have used cell-to-cell interactions to derive stem cells from ovarian stromal cells without undertaking genetic modification. We have successfully derived autologous murine stem cells by manipulating primary and early secondary follicles in vitro, and this method has proved successful even for follicles retrieved from aged ovaries. Furthermore, we believe that it will be possible to isolate stem cells directly from non-germline ovarian tissue or to derive stem cells by culturing the ovarian cells with other somatic cells. If achieved, these aims will greatly advance the development of induced pluripotent stem cell technology, as well as tissue-specific stem cell research. In this review, we introduce the relevant technologies for establishing histocompatible stem cells from ovarian tissue cells without undertaking genetic manipulation and review the current limitations of, and future research directions in, stem cell biology. 相似文献
