The association of the population recruitment of gulf menhaden, Brevoortia patronus, with Mississippi River discharge

Gulf menhaden, Brevoortia patronus, which constitutes a major industrial reduction fishery in the USA, spawn across the northern Gulf of Mexico with a focus of spawning about the Mississippi Delta. This species is estuarine dependent; adults spawn over the continental shelf and their larvae are transported, by mechanisms that are presently not well understood, to estuarine nursery areas. Larval gulf menhaden, along with some other surface oriented larval fishes, appear to aggregate along the Mississippi River plume front, while evidence of the ecological consequences of this aggregation in terms of the feeding, growth, and survival of larvae is ambiguous. On an annual scale, Mississippi River discharge is negatively associated with numbers of half year old recruits. Discharge of the Mississippi River and the population recruitment of gulf menhaden may be plausibly linked through the action of the river's plume and its front on the shoreward transport of larvae. Greater river discharge results in an expansive plume that might project larvae farther offshore and prolong the shoreward transport of larvae. An indirect, decadal scale, positive response of recruitment and river discharge is possible, but not certain. Recruitment became elevated after 1975 when river discharge increased and became highly variable. This response might owe to enhanced primary and secondary production driven by nutrient influx from the Mississippi River.     

牙周炎患者红细胞免疫功能及发病机理研究

采用酵母菌花环试验对31例牙周炎患者红细胞免疫粘附功能、循环免疫复合物、补体C_3含量进行了检测,并与正常组进行了比较。结果显示:牙周炎患者红细胞膜免疫复合物及循环免疫复合物均升高,补体C_3含量降低,且皆与正常组有显著性差异。作者认为:免疫复合物在牙周炎发病机理中有一定的意义,牙周炎患者红细胞免疫对清除循环免疫复合物起着重要作用。     

Development of Green-Naghdi models with a wave-absorbing beach for nonlinear, irregular wave propagation

Two-dimensional and three-dimensional Green-Naghdi (GN) models equipped with a numerical wave-absorbing beach have been developed to simulate nonlinear, regular, and irregular wave propagation. The numerical beach is introduced near the downstream boundary to absorb outgoing waves. An appropriate amount of numerical damping and an appropriate length of numerical beach are investigated using numerical experiments. The results show that the GN models with a numerical beach work very well in simulating wave propagation in water in a small computational domain.     

Manpower and employment issues

Basic Analytical Study of Pantograph-catenary System Dynamics

For a high speed electrical rail system, good dynamic performance of the pantograph-catenary system is vital for smooth and continuous current collection. It has been known for many years that to achieve this the head of the pantograph should be made as light as possible and the average stiffness of the catenary should be high. These conclusions, however, have been reached by numerical modelling and operational experience. In this paper the pantograph-catenary system is modelled as a time-varying, single degree-of-freedom system to facilitate an analytical investigation of the system dynamics. Although the model is very simple, it allows physical insight into the dynamic behaviour of the system, and because the excitation is parametric it also allows the stability of the system to be investigated. The finite element method is used to determine the catenary characteristics and Floquet theory is used to analyse the behaviour of the coupled system.     

胶体~(32)磷瘤内注射治疗肝癌的动物实验与临床应用研究

将Walker－256瘤株接种于大鼠肝脏内制成肿瘤动物模型。于肿瘤中心注射胶体32磷，注射后1h，3、7、14、30d放射性瘤肝比值分别为，56．75、6、16、2．50、1．83和1．43。血、心、肺、肾、脾、骨等组织内的放射量在0．061％以下。第7天时谷雨转氨酶有一过性增高外其他肝功指标、肾功、血常规均无显著变化。治疗后肿瘤体积较前缩小，且随时间推移，肿瘤生长率逐渐降低。同时，对10例原发性肝癌患者进行了胶体32P内照射治疗，均无相关并发症发生，其中1例患者治疗后肿块明显缩小，并于30d后行二期切除。故认为胶体32磷瘤内注射治疗肝癌是一种安全可行的有效方法，值得进一步探讨。
