Biological and physical events involved in the origin,effects, and control of organic matter in solar saltworks

Aspects of communities and events in the concentrating ponds (S.G. 1.130 to 1.214) and salt crystallizing ponds (S.G. 1.215 to 1.264) of solar saltworks pertinent to salt manufacture are described. Communities that aid salt manufacture enable continuous and efficient production of high quality salt at a saltworks' design capacity, and they provide important controls on levels of organic matter in the brine. Fluctuating salinities, high concentrations of nutrients, and petroleum products are disturbances that causeAphanothece halophytica andDunaliella salina to release excessive quantities of organic matter, and that suppress or cause death to nutrient stripping organisms. Disturbances result in decreased quality and quantity of salt and increased costs for salt harvest, washing, and pond upkeep. Organic matter can be controlled by management techniques that keep nutrient stripping communities at proper levels and maintain a narrow and unchanging range of salinities in each pond, by constructing pond dikes able to withstand wind and water erosion, and by preventing spills of petroleum products in the ponds.     

Estimating water balance components of tropical wetland lakes in the Pantanal dry season,Brazil

Abstract

Water balance studies with stable water isotopes have rarely been conducted in remote and tropical wetland areas. As such, little is known regarding the water balance and groundwater–surface water interaction in the Pantanal, one of the largest and most pristine wetlands in the world. We applied MINA TrêS, a water balance model utilizing stable water isotopes (δ¹⁸O, δ²H) and chloride (Cl^-) to assess the dry-season hydrological processes controlling groundwater–surface water interactions and the water balance of six floodplain lakes in the northern Pantanal, Brazil. Qualitatively, all lakes exhibited similarity in hydrological controls. Quantitatively, they differed significantly due to morphological differences in controlling groundwater inflow and lake volume. Our approach is readily transferable to other remote and tropical wetland systems with minimal data input requirements, which is useful in regions with sparse hydrometric monitoring.

三疣梭子蟹(Portunus trituberculatus)胞内氯离子通道蛋白基因克隆及其表达分析

本研究克隆了三疣梭子蟹(Portunus trituberculatus)胞内氯离子通道蛋白基因,命名为Pt CLIC。该基因c DNA全长2000bp,5’和3’非编码区(UTR)长分别为76bp和1162bp,开放阅读框长762bp,推测编码253个氨基酸,预测分子量为29.2k Da,理论等电点为5.93。生物信息学分析表明,Pt CLIC基因中未发现跨膜结构域,属于不稳定蛋白;同源性分析表明,Pt CLIC基因编码的氨基酸序列与蚤状溞(Daphnia pulex)CLIC基因的同源性高达83%;系统进化分析表明,三疣梭子蟹与拟穴青蟹首先聚为一支;实时荧光定量RT-PCR分析表明,Pt CLIC基因在选取的所有组织中均有表达,在肝胰腺中的相对表达量最高,且显著高于其它组织(P0.05)。低盐度胁迫显著改变了Pt CLIC基因在三疣梭子蟹鳃和肝胰腺中的表达模式,整体呈先上调后下调的趋势,并发现该基因在低盐耐受和低盐敏感家系中的表达规律差异显著。研究结果表明Pt CLIC基因在三疣梭子蟹渗透压调节中发挥重要作用,可辅助三疣梭子蟹耐低盐品系的选育。

The Ultimate CCD for Laser Guide Star Wavefront Sensing on Extremely Large Telescopes

All of the extremely large telescopes (ELTs) will utilize sodium laser guide star (LGS) adaptive optics (AO) systems. Most of these telescopes plan to use the Shack-Hartmann approach for wavefront sensing. In these AO systems, the laser spots in subapertures at the edge of the pupil will suffer from spot elongation due to the 10 km extent of the sodium layer and the large separation from the projection laser. This spot elongation will severely degrade the performance of standard geometry wavefront sensing systems. In this paper, we present a CCD with custom pixel morphology that aligns the pixels of each subaperture with the radial extension of the LGS spot. This CCD design will give better performance than a standard geometry CCDs for continuous wave lasers. In addition, this CCD design is optimal for a pulsed sodium laser. The pixel geometry enables each subaperture to follow a laser pulse traversing the sodium layer, providing optimal sampling of a limited number of detected photons. In addition to novel pixel layout, this CCD will also incorporate experimental JFET sense amplifiers and use CMOS design approaches to simplify the routing of biases, clocks and video output. This CCD will attain photon-noise limited performance at high frame rates, and is being incorporated in the plans for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT).
