The PAL activities and flavonoids content were measured by the UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Changes of the whole year were also studied. The results showed that four groups of metal ion treatments had significant effects on the PAL activities and flavonoids contents in Ginkgo leaves. The treatments with 0.1% and 0.3% FeSO4, 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3% ZnSO4, 0.1%, 0.3% and 0.5% MnSO4, 0.1% and 0.4% CuSO4 not only enhanced flavonoids contents, but also extended the optimum harvest dates of ginkgo leaves. The optimum combination was 0.1% FeSO4, 0.2% ZnSO4, 0.3% MnSO4, and 0.4% CuSO4. It could improve flavonoids content up to 1.619 4%.展开更多

The experimental results show that chloride ion critical content is primarily determined by the water cement ratio, while for the same concrete mixture the chloride ion critical content in soaking conditions is larger than that in a cycle of dry and wet conditions.展开更多

We studied germination and recovery in dimorphic seeds of Central Asian S. europaea under various salinity conditions. We also tested the effects of various salts on Na＋ and K＋ accumulation during plant development from germination to anthesis under greenhouse conditions. We found good germination （close to control） of large seeds under NaCl between 0.5 and 2%, Na2SO4 and 2NaCl ＋ KCl ＋ CaCl between 0.5 and 3%, and 2Na2SO4 ＋ K2SO4 -- MgSO4 between 0.5 and 5%. For the small seeds, we found stimulating effects of chloride salts （both pure and mixed） under 0.5-1% concentrations, and sulfate salts under 0.5-3%. Both types of seeds showed high germination recovery potential. Salt tolerance limits of the two seed types during germination and at the later stages of development were very similar （4-5%）. During plant growth the optimal concentrations of mixed chloride and sulfate salts ranged from 0.5 to 2%. The mechanisms of salt tolerance in the two seed types of S. europaea appear to differ, but complement each other, improving overall adaptation of this species to high salinity.展开更多

The corrosion behavior of Zn？Ni alloys in synthetic sea water （3.5% NaCl, mass fraction） was studied using Tafel plot and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） techniques. The corrosion resistance of the investigated alloys with various Ni contents （0.5%？10%, mass fraction） was compared with that of Zn. The results show that the corrosion resistance of Zn？Ni alloys （except 0.5% Ni） is superior to that of Zn. The 10% Ni gives the highest corrosion resistance due to the formation ofγ-Zn3Ni withγ-ZnNi phases in the alloy. In the case of alloy I （0.5% Ni）, it exhibits a higher corrosion rate （less corrosion resistance） than Zn.展开更多
