Cu2＋和铜锌超氧化物歧化酶作用的光谱学研究

利用邻苯三酚自氧化法监测在磷酸盐缓冲体系中Cu^2＋对猪肝铜锌超氧化物歧化酶(CuZnSOD)活力的影响, 认为Cu^2＋与猪肝CuZnSOD存在直接相互作用. 通过荧光光谱方法研究了这种相互作用, 内源荧光的猝灭实验表明Cu^2＋与CuZnSOD形成1∶1型稳定配合物; 荧光猝灭的动力学分析表明配合物形成过程由两个独立步骤完成: 第一步是双分子快速缔合过程, 形成了结合疏松的配合物, 第二步是单分子慢速过程, 即松散的配合物“异构化”成为结合紧密的配合物. FTIR和CD证实相互作用过程伴随了蛋白分子构象的变化.     

AN INDIVIDUAL‐BASED MODEL FOR FERAL HOGS IN GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK

The expansion of feral hog (Sus scrofa) populations in the United States has resulted in increased efforts to develop and implement control strategies designed to minimize the impacts done by this invasive species. We describe an individual‐based model for feral hogs in Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP). The objectives of the model are to provide an understanding of the population dynamics of this feral hog population and to determine the efficacy of the annual harvest as a population control method. Results suggest that the dynamics of the population are driven by fall hard mast production and the GSMNP harvests currently limit growth of the population, but these control efforts have not reduced the population.     

顶空固相微萃取-气相色谱/质谱法分析鉴定畜禽粪便中的挥发性有机化合物

采用顶空固相微萃取(HS-SPME)-气相色谱/质谱法(GC/MS)测定了牛粪、猪粪以及鸡粪中的挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)。在优化HS-SPME条件的基础上,通过GC/MS分析,从牛粪中分离鉴定出44种VOCs,从猪粪中分离鉴定出40种VOCs,从鸡粪中分离鉴定出41种VOCs。HS-SPME-GC/MS具有简单、快速、无需有机溶剂等特点,适合于畜禽粪便中挥发性有机化合物的分析与鉴定。同时,该研究揭示了畜禽养殖场臭味物质的来源,为治理其环境污染提供了科学依据。     

A METAPOPULATION MODEL FOR FERAL HOGS IN GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK

Feral Hogs (Sus scrofa) are an invasive species that have occupied the Great Smoky Mountains National Park since the early 1900s. Recent studies on vegetation, mast, and harvest history were important for our work. Using these data, a model with discrete time and space was formulated to represent the feral hog dynamics in the Park. Management strategies and key characteristics of the population were investigated. The model uses observed mast variation to help govern population dynamics and results indicate that Park control efforts have limited the growth of the population.
