许氏平鲉MyoD1s基因的鉴定及其调控成肌细胞分化功能的初步研究

在脊椎动物肌肉发育过程中,MyoD1基因可通过多个途径激活肌肉生长相关基因的表达,是成肌细胞增殖和分化的主要调控因子之一。目前关于经济鱼类MyoD1基因的研究主要集中在基因克隆和组织表达情况的分析,而对其功能的研究非常有限。本研究鉴定了许氏平鲉MyoD1基因两个拷贝,分别命名为MyoD1和MyoD1-like。MyoD1-like基因与MyoD1基因ORF序列存在19 bp的碱基差异,且MyoD1-like基因仅含有外显子而无内含子。qRT-PCR表达分析结果显示,MyoD1s基因在肌肉组织中的表达量显著高于其他组织,且MyoD1-like基因的表达显著高于MyoD1。原位杂交结果显示,MyoD1s基因的表达位置是肌纤维的边缘,即成肌细胞增殖、分化的位置。过表达许氏平鲉MyoD1-like基因可诱导小鼠成肌细胞发生分化,融合形成肌管。该结果为研究MyoD1基因在经济鱼类肌肉生长发育过程中的调控作用奠定了基础。     

Features of different types of seismic events in China’s Capital Region

Seismic records produced by different seismic sources vary. In this study, we compared the waveform records and time-frequency characteristics of tectonic earthquakes, artificial explosions, and mine collapses in China’s Capital Region. The results show that tectonic earthquakes are characterized by stronger S-wave energy than P-wave energy, obvious high-frequency components, and wide frequency bands of P and S waves. Artificial explosions are characterized by greater P-wave amplitude than S-wave amplitude and near-station surface wave development. Mine collapses are characterized by lower overall frequency, more obvious surface waves, and longer duration. We extracted quantitative discriminants based on the analysis of different event records, with 31 feature values in 7 categories (P/S maximum amplitude ratio, high/low frequency energy ratio, P/S spectral ratio, corner frequency, duration, the second-order moment of spectrum, and energy strongest point). A comparison of the ability of these feature values to recognize distinct events showed that the 6–17 Hz P/S spectral ratio was able to completely distinguish artificial explosions from the other two types of events. The S-wave corner frequency performed relatively well in identifying all three types of events, with an accuracy of over 90%. Additionally, a support vector machine was used to comprehensively distinguish multiple features, with an accuracy for all three types of events reaching up to 100%.     

V7版和V8版TOMS大气臭氧资料比较分析

目前使用的TOMS(Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer)大气臭氧资料大多为V7版本和V8版本,文章利用1978年11月至2001年12月的版本7和版本8算法反演得到的TOMS臭氧资料,比较分析了两个版本资料之间差异的时空分布特性。结果表明,TOMS公布的V8版本资料与V7版本资料虽然有较好的相关性,但是在数值上存在明显的时空分布差异,尤其在极区更为明显。     

非定常过程对大气边界层的内参数与风廓线的影响(二)

本文用大气边界层运动方程的数值积分研究了当边界层顶风向不变但风速变化时对大气边界层的内参数u_*/A(u_*为摩擦速度,A为上界风速)和α角(地面风与上界风向的交角)的影响。设上界处风速随时间指数增加及减少,最后趋于定常。在大气正、斜压时,u_*/A及α角的时间变化均是振幅衰减的振荡,最后趋于定常时相应的值。在时间变化过程中的任一时刻,内参数值与当上界条件取该时刻上界风时的定常解结果有一定的差别,严格说,定常时的内参数值并不能直接用于当上界风非定常时。本文还考虑了上界风速非定常对风廓线的影响。     

The Cretaceous volcanic succession around the Songliao Basin,NE China: relationship between volcanism and sedimentation

With volume ratio of 8:1:1.5 amongst acidic, intermediate and basaltic rocks, the Cretaceous volcanics around the Songliao Basin are a series of high‐K or medium‐K, peraluminous or metaluminous, calc‐alkaline rocks, lacking typical basalts and peralkaline members of typical rift‐related types. Their eruption ages range between 133 and 127 Ma, 124 and 122 Ma and 117 and 113 Ma respectively. They are high in total (Rare earth element) REE contents (96.1–326 ppm), enriched in LREE and depleted in HREE (LREE/HREE = 4.6–13.8), with negative Eu and Ce anomalies (Eu/Eu* = 0.04–0.88; Ce/Ce* = 0.60–0.97). They have enriched large‐ion lithophile elements (e.g. K, Ba, Th) and depleted high field strength elements (e.g. Nb, Ti and Y), suggesting a subduction‐related tectonic setting. The volcanic activities migrated from south to north, forming a successively northward‐stepping volcanic series and showing a feature significantly different from the overlying sedimentary sequence striking northeast. Thus, an overlap basin model was proposed. Accompanied by opening of the basin, the volcanogenic succession was formed at the block‐faulting stage (131–113 Ma) owing to the closure of the Mongolia–Okhotsk ocean in the Jurassic and early Cretaceous, while the overlying sedimentary sequence was unconformably deposited at the spreading stage (Albian–Maastrichtian) owing to the oblique subduction of the Pacific plate under the Eurasian plate. The volcanic succession constitutes the lower unit of basin filling and is the forerunner of further basin spreading. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
