The fluids are assumed to be incompressible, inviscid and irrotational. The third-order Stokes wave solutions are given by using a perturbation method. The results indicate that the third-order solutions depend on the surface tension, the density and the depth of each layer. As expected, the first-order solutions are the linear theoretical results （the small amplitude wave theoretical results）. The second-order and the third-order solutions describe the nonlinear modification and the nonlinear interactions. The nonlinear impact appears not only in the n （n〉~2） times＇ high frequency components, but also in the low frequency components. It is also noted that the wave velocity depends on the wave number, depth, wave amplitude and surface tension.展开更多

The previously unknown sequences of 3' and 5' ends of duck BLVRA mRNA were cloned, using RT-PCR and 5' RACE methods with four pairs of primers designed from the known coding sequence (CDS) of the duck BLVRA gene. Gene expression levels of BLVRA in the shell gland were quantified by real-time PCR, and eggshell colors were determined objectively by the reflection coefficient. The cDNA sequence of BLVRA was comprised of 1071 nucleotides, encoding a protein of 303 amino acids with an isoelectric point of 7.15 and molecular weight of 34.3 kDa. The 5' and 3' ends of the duck BLVRA gene sequence published in the GenBank were extended by 238 and 199 bp, respectively. The deduced amino acid sequence of duck BLVRA had 95.3% identity with Gallus gallus, 95.0% with Taeniopygia guttata, 70.0% with Xenopus tropicalis,61.1% with Bos taurus, 60.5% with Homo sapiens and 59.5% with Mus musculus, which indicated that the BLVRA gene was evolutionarily conserved. The relative gene expression level of BLVRA in shell glands of Jinyun ducks with white eggshells was 3 times higher than that in ducks with dark green eggshells (P<0.01). There was a significant positive correlation between reflection coefficient of eggshells and the relative expression of the BLVRA gene (r=0.719, P<0.05). Together, these findings suggest that the BLVRA gene could be a candidate gene for the molecule breeding of ducks with green eggshells.展开更多
