XC气田烃类渗漏的生态环境问题探讨

利用中子活化法对四川盆地XC气田的天然气进行分析，发现其中含有20多种金属元素。通过剖面和观察点的观察分析，发现XC气田烃类渗漏，尤其是天然气泄漏对生态环境造成了较大的负面影响：改变浅表生态环境，造成植物生长发育异常，农作牧减产；降低土壤pH值，增加金属元素的水溶态，从而增加植物对其的吸收消化；同时，植物还能从天然气中直接吸收消化一些金属元素。因此，天然气泄漏使农作物吸收消化过多的有毒有害金属，损害农产品品质，应当引起严重关注。     

充分灌与调亏灌溉条件下桃树滴灌的耗水量研究

本文研究了充分灌与调亏灌溉条件下桃树滴灌的耗水量。在田间设置有两个处理，其一是在整个生育期以蒸发量的80%进行充分灌溉；其二是在果实生长缓慢期以蒸发量的20%进行亏缺灌溉，而在其它季节以蒸发量的80%进行充分灌溉。利用石膏块土壤水分传感器和中子仪分别测量了根区土壤水势和土壤含水量的变化，并实测了果实生长量、枝条生长量和产量。利用水量平衡法得出了在上述两种滴灌条件下桃树不同生育期的日均耗水量与蒸发皿系数。与充分灌比较，调亏灌溉对产量没有影响，灌水量减少了32%，并有效抑制了枝条生长。     

Age effects in coding tasks: Componential analysis and test of the sensory deficit hypothesis.

Multiple forms of a symbol-digit substitution task were used to provide a componential analysis of age differences in coding task performance. The results demonstrated age differences in feature encoding, memory, and visual search. A 2nd experiment was conducted with young adults to investigate a sensory deficit as a locus of age differences. The spatial contrast sensitivity deficit of older adults was simulated on forms by applying a digital filter. Persons in the age-simulated contrast condition performed worse than those in the normal contrast condition. The stimulus degradation effect was linked to visual search speed. The study illustrates the utility of componential analysis and offers direct support for the hypothesis that sensory deficits affect performance on tasks used to assess intelligence (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Understanding source effects in ADHD rating scales: Reply to DuPaul (2003).

G. J. DuPaul (see record 2003-02033-012) offered two suggestions for additional research to understand the strong source effects reported by R. Gomez, G. L Burns, J. A. Walsh, and M. A. de Moura (see record 2003-02033-001) in attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) rating scales. The first suggestion was to determine whether the source effects represent mostly bias or accuracy. The second suggestion was to minimize source effects through the development of better ADHD rating scales. Because source effects can represent bias or accuracy, it is important to minimize the bias aspect through content validation procedures prior to attempts to determine whether source effects better reflect bias or accuracy. This comment offers various suggestions to reduce the bias in ADHD rating scales. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Knockout of Auxin Response Factor SlARF4 Improves Tomato Resistance to Water Deficit

Auxin response factors (ARFs) play important roles in various plant physiological processes; however, knowledge of the exact role of ARFs in plant responses to water deficit is limited. In this study, SlARF4, a member of the ARF family, was functionally characterized under water deficit. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and β-glucuronidase (GUS) staining showed that water deficit and abscisic acid (ABA) treatment reduced the expression of SlARF4. SlARF4 was expressed in the vascular bundles and guard cells of tomato stomata. Loss of function of SlARF4 (arf4) by using Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/Cas 9 (CRISPR/Cas 9) technology enhanced plant resistance to water stress and rehydration ability. The arf4 mutant plants exhibited curly leaves and a thick stem. Malondialdehyde content was significantly lower in arf4 mutants than in wildtype plants under water stress; furthermore, arf4 mutants showed higher content of antioxidant substances, superoxide dismutase, actual photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (PSII), and catalase activities. Stomatal and vascular bundle morphology was changed in arf4 mutants. We identified 628 differentially expressed genes specifically expressed under water deficit in arf4 mutants; six of these genes, including ABA signaling pathway-related genes, were differentially expressed between the wildtype and arf4 mutants under water deficit and unlimited water supply. Auxin responsive element (AuxRE) elements were found in these genes’ promoters indicating that SlARF4 participates in ABA signaling pathways by regulating the expression of SlABI5/ABF and SCL3, thereby influencing stomatal morphology and vascular bundle development and ultimately improving plant resistance to water deficit.     

调亏灌溉条件下甘蔗耗水规律试验研究

通过大棚内的甘蔗盆栽试验,研究了不同生育期调亏灌溉条件下甘蔗的耗水规律。结果表明:甘蔗的耗水强度因土壤含水量的不同而不同,各生育期内,土壤含水量大的甘蔗耗水强度就大;甘蔗各生育期的阶段耗水量因生育期的长短而不同,萌芽期的甘蔗耗水量最小,伸长期的耗水量最大。在不考虑降雨因素影响的条件下,研究了甘蔗生长的耗水规律参数。     

Angle deficit approximation of Gaussian curvature and its convergence over quadrilateral meshes

We propose a discrete approximation of Gaussian curvature over quadrilateral meshes using a linear combination of two angle deficits. Let g_ij and b_ij be the coefficients of the first and second fundamental forms of a smooth parametric surface F. Suppose F is sampled so that a surface mesh is obtained. Theoretically we show that for vertices of valence four, the considered two angle deficits are asymptotically equivalent to rational functions in g_ij and b_ij under some special conditions called the parallelogram criterion. Specifically, the numerators of the rational functions are homogenous polynomials of degree two in b_ij with closed form coefficients, and the denominators are . Our discrete approximation of the Gaussian curvature derived from the combination of the angle deficits has quadratic convergence rate under the parallelogram criterion. Numerical results which justify the theoretical analysis are also presented.     

Water productivity and water footprint: misguided concepts or useful tools in water management and policy?

Water productivity (WP) and water footprint (WFP) are popular concepts in research and discourses on water management. Yet there are concerns about their theoretical validity and practical value. This paper shows that the water production function, the concept with a sound theoretical foundation, is the basis for WP. Total WFP is the reciprocal of WP. The practical value of WP and WFP depends on the context of water use and stress. Maximizing WP, not a panacea to all water problems, mainly suits arid rainfed areas. In other regions, economic and marginal WP for increasing overall production should take precedence in water management and policy decisions.
