The results showed that the average AI in the main grain producing areas of Tibet was 1.7, which belonged to the semi-arid area, and the overall trend was decreasing (humidifying) (-0.036/10 a). The linear decreasing trend was different in different regions, and the area around Lhatse County was the most significant (-0.26/10 a). AI had no obvious abrupt change, and had long- and medium-term fluctuation characteristics of 24 years, 6 years. The spatial distribution was uneven, and had the characteristics of ‘shrinking arid area and expanding humid area . The contribution rates of the main climate influencing factors of AI varied in different regions. In general, the contribution rates after quantification was as follows: precipitation (34.9%)>relative humidity (28.4%)>sunshine (19.9%)>maximum temperature (12.4%).展开更多

The results show that the average polymorphic information content( PIC) of japonica landraces is 0. 1726,slightly higher than the average PIC( 0. 1101) of the bred japonica rice varieties.Based on Nei's genetic distance between materials,UPGMA method is used for clustering,and all study materials are divided into 6 groups.Group I mainly includes indica rice,the bred japonica rice varieties are mainly concentrated in the first half of Group II and Group III,and the japonica landraces are mainly concentrated in the second half of Group III,and Group Ⅳ,Ⅴ,Ⅵ. Both of them are in different regions,and there has been genetic differentiation. According to the national standard of high quality rice,it is found that many rice landraces in the Taihu Lake area have good quality and traits,and these varieties can be used for future high quality breeding.展开更多

The purpose of this study is to encourage health professionals to investigate patient radiation doses and to determine whether those doses comply with the principles of radiation protection in medical fields so as to improve practices by reducing patient exposure without reducing clinical effectiveness. To perform this work, we have investigated patient doses for different radiological examinations from six (6) medical centers in Dakar, including the following nine routine types: chest (PA), abdomen (AP), pelvis (AP), cervical spine (AP), lumbar spine (AP, Lat), hip (AP), thoracic spine (AP, Lat). Three types of data were collected, <em>i.e.</em>, X-ray tube machine data, patient data and output measurements. The data were analyzed statistically and the median, minimum, maximum, and third quartile values were calculated and displayed throughout boxplots graphs for all exams and medical centers. The two sigma range (95% confidence interval) was also checked. Comparison of third quartiles of Entrance Surface Dose (ESD) and Dose Area Product (DAP) by type of examination with recommended international DRLs was performed. The third quartile of ESD for pelvis (AP) and thoracic spine (AP) was up to 16% and 38% higher, respectively than their corresponding DRLs in the European Commission Report RP 180 Part 2. For all exams, except thoracic spine (lat), the third quartiles of the dose area product were higher than the corresponding DRLs in the above report. The source of dose variability between medical centers was related to many parameters such as poor radiographic techniques, lack of modern X-ray machines and adequately documented radiation protection practices. The results show the need to develop protocols for dose measurement as well as to carry out quality assurance programs and dose optimization in Senegal.展开更多

文摘To determine the variation of water quality in rice-crayfish(Procambarus clarkii)integrated systems(RCIS)in China,eleven water quality parameters were measured monthly in a typical RCIS located in Qianjiang City(Hubei Province)from July 2014 to June 2015,the parameters were analyzed with principal component analysis(PCA)and compared between the trenches and rice areas during the rice fallow period(Nov-May).The trench and rice area comprehensive results showed that pH(7.48-8.68),NH_(4)^(+)-N(0.2-1.09 mg/L),NO_(2)^(-)-N(<0.052 mg/L)and conductivity(435-951μS/cm)were within the suitable ranges for P.clarkii and that turbidity(TU)was high during the crayfish harvesting and rice planting season.Annual averages of total nitrogen(TN),total phosphorus(TP),permanganate index(CODMn),and chlorophyll a(Chl.a)content were<2(except in Nov-Dec),0.25,10 mg/L,and 50 mg/m^(3)(especially in Nov-May,<10 mg/m^(3)),respectively.Dissolved oxygen(DO)was below 4 mg/L in Mar-Sep,with a minimum of~1 mg/L,and much higher in Oct-Feb.The maximum and minimum monthly average water temperature(WT)were 31.4°C in July and 5.7°C in December,while the maximum and minimum instantaneous WT were 39.7°C and 2.5°C,respectively.PCA analysis showed that the first three axes,which were mainly correlated with DO,WT and nutrient level,described most information of the parameters,and parameters showed seasonal changes.Some differences were observed in water parameters between the trenches and rice areas,i.e.,trenches generally had higher TU,WT and DO,and lower TN,TP and CODMn,although no significant differences were found in some months and some parameters.The study revealed relatively low water nutrient level,probable extreme WT and DO level in some seasons,and certain differences between the trenches and rice areas in typical CRIS in China.Accordingly,some measures should be taken to improve the negative parameters:1)enhance the water fertility;2)increase DO,especially in Mar-Sep;3)increase the trench and water depth to avoid extreme WT.And water quality management should be addressed in both trenches and rice areas.

文摘Objective:Saposhnikoviae Radix(Fangfeng in Chinese),the roots of Saposhnikovia divaricata,lacks commodity specification and grade standardization in the current market.This study investigated the existing specifications and grades of Saposhnikoviae Radix to provide a standardized scientific reference for its market use.Methods:Based on a textual research of Chinese herbal medicine from the Han Dynasty to the present,medicinal materials of different specifications and grades obtained from Saposhnikoviae Radix in the main producing areas of China were collected and the markets for these materials were investigated.Field investigations were performed in the major producing areas such as Northeast China,Hebei Province,and Inner Mongolia.Four major Chinese herbal medicine markets in China were investigated.Sensory indices were used to categorize the two specifications(wild and cultivated)according to the shape,color,texture,and cross-section.High-performance liquid chromatography was performed to determine the active components.Vernier calipers and measuring tape were used to measure the diameter and length,respectively,of 41 samples.Using Excel and the R Language software,cluster analysis and descriptive statistical analysis were performed to assist in the application of new specifications and grades based on physical characteristics,pharmacological activity,and chemical composition.Results:The two specifications(wild and cultivated)of Saposhnikoviae Radix were divided into three grades each based on the length and diameter.Prim-O-glucosylcimifugin,5-O-methylvisamminoside,and the length of Saposhnikoviae Radix can be used as a basis for classifying the commodity specifications and grades.The specifications and grade standards of Saposhnikoviae Radix were established based on the following eight aspects:shape,surface characteristics,texture,cross section,taste,prim-Oglucosylcimifugin content,5-O-methylvisamminoside content and length.Conclusion:The formulation of this standard stipulates the commodity specification level of Saposhnikoviae Radix.It is also suitable for the evaluation of commodity specifications in the process of production,circulation and use of Saposhnikoviae Radix.
