Pressure effect on grain boundary wetting at various temperatures

Bicrystals of Fe-6 at.% Si alloy containing <001> 5 tilt grain boundaries with a deposited zinc layer have been annealed at various hydrostatic pressure at four temperatures between 700° and 905°C. After the anneals the dihedral angle of the grain boundary groove formed at the site of the grain boundary intersection with the solid-melt interphase boundary has been measured. The transition from complete to incomplete wetting of the grain boundary by the zinc-rich melt (dewetting phase transition) has been found to occur as the pressure increased at all temperatures studied. The temperature dependence of the dewetting transition pressure p _w has been determined. That dependence has a minimum at a temperature of 790°C, which is close to the peritectic temperature in the Fe–Zn system (782°C). A thermodynamic analysis of the wetting phenomena in the two-component system, based on Becker's regular solution model for the surface tension of the interphase boundary, explains the minimum in the p _w (T) dependence.     

乌头组培快繁的技术探讨

用普通ＭＳ培养基进行乌头组培快繁的研究,乌头的愈伤组织容易形成,培养基中附加ＢＡＩｍｇ／ｌ和ＫＴｌｍｇ／Ｌ可以从叶腋产生健壮的苗,从愈伤组织诱发出根需附加ＫＴｌｍｇ／Ｌ和ＮＡＡ０．２ｍｇ／Ｌ,但达到快速繁殖的目的仍存在一些问题。     

词汇中的文化蕴含

运用文化语言学的理论,从汉语词汇的意义、结构和交际三个方面进行论证,提出词汇与文化具有“融合关系”、“渗透关系”和“制约关系”。这些关系说明文化对词汇的理解、运用和规范有着很大的影响,重视文化因素对全面灵活地理解词汇的意义、深入细致地了解词汇的结构、准确扎实地掌握词汇的运用技巧大有裨益。每一语言系统中有相当一部分词汇的内涵是以民族文化为依托,文化是这些词义产生、发展、衍变的关键。在汉语词汇系统中,表义的结构形式反映了汉民族的思维方式、特点,是它们形成了汉语词汇的构成规则。传统的伦理等级观念、约定俗成的民族表达习惯附加给词汇各种文化色彩的语用意义,这些多维的复合性文化使开放的词汇系统变得有序可循。     

论传统美德在当今社会的继承与弘扬

中华民族有着五千年的光辉灿烂文化,从而铸就了优良的道德传统。中华民族传统美德不仅在历史上而且在现代都对中国广大人民群众思想的形成产生着重要影响。应认真研究传统美德的内涵及特征,继承和弘扬传统美德的意义,以及如何继承和弘扬传统美德。应营造社会大环境,加强道德教育,振兴中华民族精神,弘扬传统美德,发展社会主义共产主义道德。     

应用滋养和包埋技术进行籼稻原生质体培养和植株再生

从几个籼稻品种不同发育阶段的幼穗分离出密度平均为２２×１０５个／ｍＬ～４６×１０５个／ｍＬ的原生质体。将这些原生质体包埋在藻酸钠颗粒里并分别在粳稻愈伤组织滋养下培养和没有愈伤组织滋养。在这两种培养条件下原生质体稳定,分裂频率分别达到４８４％和３８８％,群体存活率达到５３％和４７％,愈伤组织绿苗分化率达到７１６％和６２３％。这两种方法优于常用的琼脂糖包埋法和琼脂糖颗粒法。

On the global optimization properties of finite-difference local descent algorithms

The paper is devoted to the convergence properties of finite-difference local descent algorithms in global optimization problems with a special -convex structure. It is assumed that the objective function can be closely approximated by some smooth convex function. Stability properties of the perturbed gradient descent and coordinate descent methods are investigated. Basing on this results some global optimization properties of finite-difference local descent algorithms, in particular, coordinate descent method, are discovered. These properties are not inherent in methods using exact gradients.The paper was presented at the II. IIASA-Workshop on Global Optimization, Sopron (Hungary), December 9–14, 1990.     

Concavine, an unusual diterpenic alkaloid produced by the fungus Clitocybe concava

A novel alkaloid with an unprecedented ring system consisting of a dodecahydro-7-oxa-9a-aza-benzo[a]azulene ring (1), has been isolated from cultures of Clitocybe concava (Basidiomycetae). Its structure and relative stereochemistry were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data. Concavine presents a weak antibacterial activity.     

A stereotypic,transplantable liver tissue-culture system

A method of coculturing adult rat hepatic parenchymal cells (PC) and stromal cells in a three-dimensional framework of nylon filtration screens or biodegradable polymer meshes was developed in our laboratory. Rat liver stroma, which includes vascular and bile duct endothelial cells, fat-storing cells, fibroblasts, and Kupffer cells, were isolated by gradient centrifugation afterin situ liver perfusion and expanded in monolayer culture prior to seeding onto nylon screens or bioresorbable polyglycolic acid (PGA) polymers oriented into a felt-like construct. A second inoculum of freshly isolated PC was applied after the stromal cells became established. Histological analyses revealed that PC proliferation occurred until all available space for expansion within the template was exhausted. These cells retained their rounded morphology, and after 4–5 wk 7–9 “layers” of PC filled the 140-μm deep template. Dioxin-inducible cytochrome P450 activity was detected for up to 58 d in culture, and albumin, fibrinogen, transferrin, and soluble fibronectin were detected in the medium by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for 48 d in vitro. Immunohistochemical analysis of sections through the cultures confirmed the presence of these proteins as well as cytokeratin at the cellular level; the extracellular matrix stained for both collagen type III and laminin. Long-term PC proliferation and function were enhanced by the presence of stromal cells as well as by a meshwork template whose geometry allows the interaction of PC with stroma and matrix on several different planes. To permit transplantation, co-cultures of hepatic PC and stromal cells were established on PGA felt constructs instead of nylon screens. After 24 d in vitro, these constructs were grafted into sites in the mesentery, omentum, and sub-cutaneous tissues of adult Long-Evans rats. The growth of hepatocytes after 30 din situ was evident by histological analysis; grafts of co-cultures regenerated a liver-like architecture consisting of sinusoids and putative biliary structures. In addition, PC at these extrahepatic graft sites were positive for albumin, transferrin, and fibrinogen synthesis by immunohistochemistry. Graft survival was enhanced when recipients were subjected to 40% hepatectomy. Hepatic PC:stromal cell cocultures may prove useful in the restoration of liver function either by direct transplantation using PGA or similar templates, or as extracorporeal devices, using nylon screens.     

Acid Pullulanase from Bacillus polymyxa MIR-23

Within the frame of a screening program aimed at the isolation of amylolytic sporeformers, one strain with high amylolytic activity designated MIR-23 was selected. The microbial characterization was carried out by morphological and biochemical tests and, by means of statistical treatment, was identified asBacillus polymyxa. The organism could grow in acidic conditions (pH 5.0) on a starch medium and produce α-amylase, pullulanase, and α-glucosidase. Batch cultures showed the highest enzyme activities in the stationary phase. Pullulanase activity exhibited an optimal temperature of 52–57°C at pH 4.5–5.5. These properties would allow its use in the saccharification processes in the starch industries.
