Genes of the adaptive immune system are expressed early in zebrafish larval development following lipopolysaccharide stimulation

Information regarding immunocompetence of the adaptive immune system(AIS) in zebrafish Danio rerio remains limited.Here,we stimulated an immune response in fish embryos,larvae and adults using lipopolysaccharide(LPS) and measured the upregulation of a number of AIS-related genes(Rag2,AID,TCRAC,IgLC-1,mIg,sIg,IgZ and DAB) 3 and 18 h later.We found that all of the genes evaluated were strongly induced following LPS stimulation,with most of them responding at 8 d post fertilization.This confirms that a functional adaptive immune response is present in D.rerio larvae,and provides a window for further functional analyses.     

对日冕物质抛射分类的定量研究

众所周知，日冕物质抛射（CME）的性质强烈地决定于其结构，故对日冕物质抛射的结构进行强度分类，对研究日地事件有重要的意义，利用模糊综合评判方法，可对日冕物质抛射的分类进行定量研究，该方法通常需考虑多个因素，如各类CME的速度、跨度、质量和动能。将其作为评判因素集，并确定相应的隶属度函数，通过计算，可以将CME分成强（strong）、中（middle）、弱（weak）3大类，并根据隶属度值的大小，给出各类CME平均特性的相对强弱排序，分析表明模糊综合评判方法优于一般的统计方法。     

Adsorption and desorption characteristics of ammonium in eight loams irrigated with reclaimed wastewater from intensive hogpen

There are many reports of NO₃ ^? violating safety standards in the neighboring areas of concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), which have become the bottleneck of the CAFOs development. The high concentration of ammonium nitrogen (NH₄ ⁺-N), which transforms into nitrate nitrogen (NO₃ ^?-N) through nitrification, and then leaches into the groundwater, is a potential threat to the environment. Adsorption and desorption characteristics of ammonium can reduce the amount of NH₄ ⁺-N in soils, which effectively prevents or slows down the nitrate leaching. Researches on the adsorption and desorption of ammonium mainly focus on the simple NH₄ ⁺ solution. Researches on the adsorption and desorption from hogpen wastewater are few, which is a complex system coexisting with many ions. In this paper, ammonium was selected as the object of pollutant, a batch of equilibration experiments was conducted to evaluate the adsorption–desorption and its kinetics in eight loams, typically found in Northern China, irrigated with original wastewater (OW) and reclaimed wastewater (RW) from intensive hogpen and a simple one consisting of clean water (CW). This study showed that the Freundlich and Langmuir model described the ammonium adsorption properties very well in multi-ion coexistensive system of hogpen wastewater; the ammonium adsorbed amount in the corresponding matrices followed by OW < RW < CW tendency, although the adsorption model parameters had great diversity. The adsorbed amount increased as the adsorption time went on and then approached to a stable state. CW had the shortest reaction time to reach equilibrium, whereas OW had the longest. The normal adsorption kinetics equation could not depict the adsorption behavior of loams but characterized by the ExpAssoc equation well. The study could provide references for the wastewater treatment and recycling, and rural water pollution controlling.     

一次溶样分离地质样品中Pb-Sr-Nd方法的可行性研究

现有的地质样品中Pb、Sr、Nd分离分析方法是对Pb和Sr - Nd分别采用两份样品进行分离,多消耗一份样品量,因而制约了样品量少的研究.本文提出了基于HNO3 - HF - HClO4混合酸熔融样品,采用AG1 - X8、AG50W - X8和HDEHP组合离子交换柱,对同一份地质样品一次溶样,连续分离Pb、Sr、Nd.用该方法对国际标准样品AGV -2、BHVO-2中的Pb、Sr、Nd进行分离,回收率均优于95％,全流程空白分别为Pb＜ 0.2 ng,Sr＜1.5 ng,Nd＜1.1 ng.用多接收器-电感耦合等离子体质谱(MC -ICP - MS)进行同位素比值测定,结果表明本研究提出的一份样品连续分离后的同位素测定结果与传统方法利用两份样品分别进行分离的结果在误差范围内完全一致.本文的研究可实现微量岩石样品的Pb、Sr、Nd同位素准确分析,对于珍贵样品的同位素组成研究具有重要意义.     

Dynamic variation and the fast acceleration of particles in Earth’s radiation belt

We have quantitatively investigated the radiation belt’s dynamic variations of 1.5-6.0 MeV electrons during 54 CME (coronal mass ejection)-driven storms from 1993 to 2003 and 26 CIR (corotating interaction region)-driven recurrent storms in 1995 by utilizing case and statistical studies based on the data from the SAMPEX satellite. It is found that the boundaries determined by fitting an exponential to the flux as a function of L shell obtained in this study agree with the observed outer and inner boundaries of the outer radiation belt. Furthermore, we have constructed the Radiation Belt Content (RBC) index by integrating the number density of electrons between those inner and outer boundaries. According to the ratio of the maximum RBC index during the recovery phase to the pre-storm average RBC index, we conclude that CME-driven storms produce more relativistic electrons than CIR-driven storms in the entire outer radiation belt, although the relativistic electron fluxes during CIR-related storms are much higher than those during CME-related storms at geosynchronous orbit. The physical radiation belt model STEERB is based on the three-dimensional Fokker-Planck equation and includes the physical processes of local wave-particle interactions, radial diffusion, and adiabatic transport. Due to the limitation of numerical schemes, formal radiation belt models do not include the cross diffusion term of local wave-particle interactions. The numerical experiments of STEERB have shown that the energetic electron fluxes can be overestimated by a factor of 5 or even several orders (depending on the pitch angle) if the cross diffusion term is ignored. This implies that the cross diffusion term is indispensable for the evaluation of radiation belt electron fluxes. Formal radiation belt models often adopt dipole magnetic field; the time varying Hilmer-Voigt geomagnetic field was adopted by the STEERB model, which self-consistently included the adiabatic transport process. The test simulations clearly indicate that the adiabatic process can significantly affect the evolution of radiation belt electrons. The interactions between interplanetary shocks and magnetosphere can excite ULF waves in the inner magnetosphere; the excited polodial mode ULF wave can cause the fast acceleration of "killer electrons". The acceleration mechanism of energetic electrons by poloidal and toroidal mode ULF wave is different at different L shells. The acceleration of energetic electrons by the toroidal mode ULF waves becomes important in the region with a larger L shell (the outer magnetosphere); in smaller L shell regions (the inner magnetosphere), the poloidal mode ULF becomes responsible for the acceleration of energetic electrons.

Can Eurasia Experience a Cold Winter under a Third-Year La Ni?a in 2022/23?

The Northern Hemisphere(NH) often experiences frequent cold air outbreaks and heavy snowfalls during La Ni?a winters. In 2022, a third-year La Ni?a event has exceeded both the oceanic and atmospheric thresholds since spring and is predicted to reach its mature phase in December 2022. Under such a significant global climate signal, whether the Eurasian Continent will experience a tough cold winter should not be assumed, despite the direct influence of mid-to high-latitude,large-scale atmospheric ...
