Fictions and Facts About Evolutionary Approaches to Human Behavior: Comment on Lickliter and Honeycutt (2003).

Six misconceptions about evolutionary approaches to human behavior are exposed. Evidence is adduced to support the assertions that evolutionary approaches do not (a) adopt a reductionistic "gene-centered" level of analysis, (b) assume that natural selection is the only process that creates and designs ontogenetic processes and phenotypic outcomes, (c) assume that genes are the only agents responsible for the transgenerational inheritance of phenotypic traits and characteristics, (d) assume that genes are self-contained and impervious to extragenetic influences, (e) posit a strong form of genetic determinism, or (f) pay lip service to the role of the environment. Building straw men and knocking them down is an inherently destructive enterprise; integrating different approaches is a more constructive way of contributing to the growth of knowledge.

An integrated biodesulfurization process,including inoculum preparation,desulfurization and sulfate removal in a single step,for removing sulfur from oils

BACKGROUND: A single‐stage reactor, in which the growth of bacterial culture, induction of desulfurizing enzymes, and desulfurization reaction are carried out in a single step, was adopted to investigate desulfurization of dibenzothiophene (DBT) at high cell densities. Rhodococcus erythropolis, IGTS8 was used as the biocatalyst. Optimal conditions for bacterial growth and DBT desulfurization were investigated. RESULTS: Optimization of fermentation conditions was necessary to obtain high cell densities including controlling accumulation of acetate. Under optimal operating conditions, the maximum optical density at 600 nm (OD₆₀₀) was measured to be 26.6 at 118 h of cultivation. When biodesulfurization of DBT in model oil with a high cell density culture of IGTS8 was investigated, accumulation of sulfate was found to limit the extent of desulfurization. A sulfate removal step was added to obtain a single‐stage integrated biodesulfurization process. Sulfate removal was achieved via an aqueous bleed stream and use of a separation unit to recycle the organic phase. CONCLUSION: A proof of principle of a complete system capable of biocatalyst growth, induction, desulfurization and by‐product separation was demonstrated. This system enables simplification of the biodesulfurization process and has potential to lower the operating cost of the bioprocess. Copyright © 2008 Society of Chemical Industry

吸附法脱除乙烯中少量氧气的吸附剂研究

采用重量法在电子天平上研究了Ｃ２Ｈ４和Ｏ２单组份在５Ａ、１３Ｘ、丝光沸石和碳分子筛等不同吸附剂上的吸附平衡性质和扩散动力学性质。结果表明，在沸石类吸附剂上，Ｃ２Ｈ４的平衡吸附量远大于Ｏ２的平衡吸附量，Ｃ２Ｈ４的吸附扩散速率也大于Ｏ２的扩散速率；在碳分子筛吸附剂上Ｃ２Ｈ４的平衡吸附量大于Ｏ２的平衡吸附量，但Ｏ２的吸附扩散速率远大于Ｃ２Ｈ４的扩散速率，其扩散系数是Ｃ２Ｈ４的２３９倍。单柱评价结果表明，Ｃ２Ｈ４－Ｏ２混合组份通过该碳分子筛吸附剂时，Ｏ２的破点时间长，Ｃ２Ｈ４的纯度可达１００％。加压有利于选择吸附Ｏ２，而且加压吸附、常压脱附再生性能好。该碳分子筛是脱除高浓度乙烯中少量氧气的理想吸附剂。     

难选氧化锰矿的选别工艺特征

氧化锰矿的泥化现象一般较严重，有的矿石很容易在机械作用下碎裂泥化，并且锰在粗、细粒级中的含量差别较大，因此在选别过程中避免过碎、强搅拌、强擦洗，并利用合理的分级工序，往往能获得十分理想的选别指标。

Pitting corrosion of Cr–Mn–N steel in sulphuric acid media

The resistance to pitting corrosion of austenitic stainless steel Cr18Mn12N has been studied in model solutions of sulphuric acid (0.5 m) containing chloride ions (0.5 m). The cyclic potentiodynamic method has been employed to investigate the effects of chloride ions and agitation rate on the pitting and repassivation potentials. Electron and optical microscopy, electron diffraction spectroscopy and atomic absorption spectrometry have been used to detect the surface sites for pit formation and the growth of pit nuclei. The results obtained with chromium–manganese–nitrogen steel have been compared with those of austenitic Cr18Ni9 stainless steel. A similarity in pit initiation is established, while steel composition exhibits no significant effect. Cr18Mn12N steel is less prone to repassivation as compared with Cr18Ni9 steel.
