And its linkage with the Aleutian Low(AL) activity changes is also discussed. The results find that the KE SST variability exhibits the significant ~6 a and ~10 a oscillations with obvious interdecadal change. The ~6 a oscillation is mainly detected during 1930–1950, which is largely impacted by the anomalous surface heat flux forcing and Ekman heat transport associated with the AL intensity variation. The ~10 a oscillation is most evident after the 1980s, which is predominantly triggered by the AL north-south shift through the bridge of oceanic Rossby waves.展开更多
Catecholamines (CA) and corticosterone (CS) exerted modulatory effect on the proliferative activity of splenic and thymic lymphocytes in response to mitogenic stimulation in vilro. Epinephrine (E) and norepinephrine (...Catecholamines (CA) and corticosterone (CS) exerted modulatory effect on the proliferative activity of splenic and thymic lymphocytes in response to mitogenic stimulation in vilro. Epinephrine (E) and norepinephrine (NE) potentiated proliferation in concentrations above 1 and 10 nmol/L, respectively, while CS showed a biphasic effect, stimulating proliferation at concentrations below 0.1 nmol/L and suppressing proliferation at concentrations above 10 nmol/L. Combination of CS with E, NE or both in an ineffective concentration of each (0.1 nmol/L ) showed stimulatory effect on the proliferative response of both splenic and thymic lympliocytes to Con A. Whole-body irradiation (WBI) of mice with 75 mGy incIeased the reactivity of splenic and thymic lymphocytes to Con A. It is reported for the first time in the present paper that the proliferative reactivity of splenic and thymic lymphocytes from low dose irradiated mice could be further increased in the presence of suboptimal concentrations of CS and E as well as suboptimal concentrations of phorbol myristate acetate (PMA ) and A23187. These findings may have significance in the mechanism of immunologic stimulation after low dose WBI展开更多

In the case of low applied electric field (F = 25 kV/cm) and low absorption loss (a ≈ 100 cm^-1), a large field-induced refractive index change (for TE mode, △n = 0.0106; for TM mode, △n = 0.0115) is obtained in QSCQW structure at operating wavelength λ = 1550 nm. The value is larger by over one to two order of magnitude compared to that in a rectangular quantum well (RQW) and about 50% larger than that of five-step asymmetric coupled quantum well (FACQW) structure under the above work conditions.展开更多
