Response simulation and theoretical calibration of a dual- induction resistivity LWD tool

In this paper, responses of a new dual-induction resistivity logging-while-drilling （LWD） tool in 3D inhomogeneous formation models are simulated by the vectorfinite element method （VFEM）, the influences of the borehole, invaded zone, surroundingstrata, and tool eccentricity are analyzed, and calibration loop parameters and calibrationcoefficients of the LWD tool are discussed. The results show that the tool has a greater depthof investigation than that of the existing electromagnetic propagation LWD tools and is moresensitive to azimuthal conductivity. Both deep and medium induction responses have linearrelationships with the formation conductivity, considering optimal calibration loop parametersand calibration coefficients. Due to the different depths of investigation and resolution, deepinduction and medium induction are affected differently by the formation model parameters,thereby having different correction factors. The simulation results can provide theoreticalreferences for the research and interpretation of the dual-induction resistivity LWD tools.

Microstructure and properties of induction brazing nickel base/WC composite coating

BNi-2/WC composite wear-resisting coating was prepared on carbon steel by the method of induction brazing.The microstructure and phase composition of the composite coating were analyzed,and the bonding strength and wear-resisting performance of the coating were tested.During the process of induction brazing,the tungsten carbide partially dissolves and reacts with the filler metal alloy to form NiW compound phase,which realizes the metallurgical combination of tungsten carbide and filler metal alloy.The matrix of the filler metal alloy consists of Ni solid solution and Ni_(3)B/Ni_(3)Si eutectic phase,and the metallurgical diffusion reaction occurs between the filler metal alloy and the steel matrix.The mechanical analysis results show that the self-strength of the composite coating reaches 140 MPa and the bonding strength of the filler metal alloy to the steel matrix reaches 360 MPa.The dry sand rubber wheel wear testing machine showed that the coating weight loss was only 0.2824 g,which was only 1/5 of the weight loss of 65 Mn matrix under the same conditions.

Microstructure, Hardness and Corrosion Resistance of ZrN Films Prepared by Inductively Coupled Plasma Enhanced RF Magnetron Sputtering

ZrN fihns were deposited on Si（111） and M2 steel by inductively coupled plasma （ICP）-enhanced RF magnetron sputtering. The effect of ICP power on the microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of ZrN films was investigated. When the ICP power is below 300 W, the ZrN films show a columnar structure. With the increase of ICP power, the texture coefficient （To） of the （111） plane, the nanohardness and elastic modulus of the films increase and reach the maximum at a power of 300 W. As the ICP Power exceeds 300 W, the films exhibit a ZrN and ZrNx mixed crystal structure without columnar grain while the nanohardness and elastic modulus of the films decrease. All the ZrN coated samples show a higher corrosion resistance than that of the bare M2 steel substrate in 3.5% NaCl electrolyte. The nanohardness and elastic modulus mostly depend on the crystalline structure and Tc of ZrN（111）.

A combined evaluation of the characteristics and antibiotic resistance induction potential of antibiotic wastewater during the treatment process

Antibiotic wastewater contains a variety of pollutant stressors that can induce and promote antibiotic resistance(AR)when released into the environment.Although these substances are mostly in concentrations lower than those known to induce AR individually,it is possible that antibiotic wastewater discharge might still promote the AR transmission risk via additive or synergistic effects.However,the comprehensive effect of antibiotic wastewater on AR development has rarely been evaluated,and its treatment efficiency remains unknown.Here,samples were collected from different stages of a cephalosporin production wastewater treatment plant,and the potential AR induction effect of their chemical mixtures was explored through the exposure of the antibiotic-sensitive Escherichia coli K12 strain.Incubation with raw cephalosporin production wastewater significantly promoted mutation rates(3.6×10^(3)-9.3×10^(3)-fold)and minimum inhibition concentrations(6.0-6.7-fold)of E.coli against ampicillin and chloramphenicol.This may be attributed to the inhibition effect and oxidative stress of cephalosporin wastewater on E.coli.The AR induction effect of cephalosporin wastewater decreased after the coagulation sedimentation treatment and was completely removed after the full treatment process.A Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the reduction in the AR induction effect had a strong positive correlation with the removal of organics and biological toxicity.This indicates that the antibiotic wastewater treatment had a collaborative processing effect of conventional pollutants,toxicity,and the AR induction effect.This study illustrates the potential AR transmission risk of antibiotic wastewater and highlights the need for its adequate treatment.

Investigation of the Resistance and Inductance of Planar Wire Array Z-Pinch at the Qiangguang Accelerator

The resistance and inductance of a wire array during an implosion are very important parameters of interest to：researchers. A variety of inductances and resistances directly affect the kinetic energy and resistance heat energy coupled from a pulsed-power generator. In this paper, the inductance and resistance of a planar wire array during the Z-pinch process are analyzed. The inductance is calculated from the data obtained by a time-resolved soft X-ray framed camera, while the resistance is calculated through the voltage and the current of the wire array load combined with the variety of the inductance. The results show that the resistance of the load increases with the development of the implosion, and reaches its maximum at 0.29 ± 0.16Ω near the pinched time.

Characteristics of Resistance to Rice Sheath Blight of Zhongda 2,a Transgenic Rice Line as Modified by Gene “RC24”

The transgenic rice, Zhongda 2, which was genetically modified from an indica rice line Zhuxian B by rice chitinase gene (RC24), had high resistance to rice sheath blight (Rhizoctonia solan!) in laboratory and a two-year field experiment. The pathogen could invade sheath of Zhongda 2 and induce symptoms of the disease. No difference was noted in time of penetration or incubation period between Zhongda 2 and non-transgenic rice control, Zhuxian B, but the hyphae lysate could be observed earlier than control. Its resistance expressed as to inhibit the growth of mycelium in host tissue. Fis from Zhongda 2(4) crossed with other five non-transgenic rice lines showed higher resistance than donor non-transgenic parents, but the resistance was different along with the different maternal parents.

Rice Blast Resistance of Transgenic Rice Plants with Pi-d2 Gene

Resistance to rice blast of transgenic rice lines harboring rice blast resistance gene Pi-d2 transformed from three different expression vectors of pCB6.3kb, pCB5.3kb and pZH01-2.72kb were analyzed. Nine advanced-generation transgenic rice lines with Pi-d2 gene displayed various resistance to 39 rice blast strains, and the highest disease-resistant frequency reached 91.7%. Four early-generation homozygous transgenic lines with Pi-d2 gene exhibited resistance to more than 81.5% of 58 rice blast strains, showing the characteristic of wide-spectrum resistance. The transgenic embryonic calli selected by the crude toxin of rice blast fungus showed that the callus induction rate of immature embryo from transgenic rice plants decreased as the concentration of crude toxin in the culture medium increased. When the concentration of crude toxin reached 40%, the callus induction rate of immature embryo from transgenic lines was 49.3%, and that of the receptor control was 5%. The disease incidence of neck blast of the transgenic rice lines in fields under induction was 0% to 50%, indicating that the rice blast resistance of transgenic rice lines is much higher than that of the receptor control.

Mechanisms involved in biocontrol and plant induced resistance by richoderma. asperellum (T. harzianum T-203)

Growing awareness of the environmental damage caused by the use of chemical substances for plant disease control in agriculture has raised the need to study biological alternatives, such as activating the defense response of plant crops by inducers not toxic to the environment. Trichoderma spp. are effective biocontrol agents for a number of soilborne pathogens, and are also known for their ability to enhance plant growth and to induce systemic resistance (ISR) in plants. In our laboratory we are studying the mechanism of induction of systemic responses against angular leaf spot disease of cucumber-Pseudomonas syringae pv. lachrymans (Psl), following application of T. asperellum to the root system. The protection afforded by the biocontrol agent is associated with concomitant accumulation of secondary metabolites of a phenolic nature and mRNA of two defense genes: the phenylpropanoid pathway gene phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and the octadecanoid pathway gene hydroxyperoxide lyase (HPL). Combining gene expression analysis, measurements of signal molecules levels and use of specific hormone inhibitors we could demonstrate that the JA/ethylene signaling pathway is involved in the systemic response induced by Trichoderma. A molecular analysis of Trichoderma genes and proteins differentially induced by root interaction reveals that molecules related to phytopathogenicity, but also known as elicitors of plant defense responses, are transiently activated in planta, enabling at the same time intracellular colonization and induction of systemic defense responses pathways. It appears that Trichoderma as a beneficial soil fungus has several efficient modes of action.

Effects of Three Typical Resistivity Models on Pulsed Inductive Plasma Acceleration Modeling

The effects of three different typical resistivity models（Spitzer, Z＆L and M＆G） on the performance of pulsed inductive acceleration plasma are studied. Numerical results show that their influences decrease with the increase of the plasma temperature. The significant discriminations among them appear at the plasma temperature lower than 2.5 eV, and the maximum gap of the pulsed inductive plasma accelerated efficiency is approximately 2.5%.Moreover, the pulsed inductive plasma accelerated efficiency is absolutely related to the dynamic impedance parameters, such as voltage, inductance, capacitance and flow rate. However, the distribution of the efficiency as a function of plasma temperature with three resistivity models has nothing to do with the dynamic impedance parameter.

Resistance Evaluation to Sheath Blight in Transgenic Rice Lines

Resistance of forty-one homozygous rice lines transformed with chitinase gene (RC24) and β-1,3 -glucanse gene β-1,3-Glu) to sheath blight was analyzed by inoculation. Among different lines, the resistance had significant differences according to the result by cluster analysis. The lines could be categorized into resistant, moderately resistant, moderately susceptible and susceptible types, while 92.1% of which belonging to moderately resistant or moderately susceptible type. For different resistant or susceptible lines, the resistance to rice sheath blight was remarkable correlated with the chitinase activity of transgenic lines except resistant type lines, in which enzyme activity coded by target gene was lower than moderately resistant type. The chitinase activity of transgenic lines tested at different time after inoculation or different organs of the same plant was uniform, which suggested that the expression of chitinase gene was constitutive in nature. Check varieties chitinase activity would change at different time after inoculation and reach a peak at sometime, but it had no difference at various pans of the same plant.

Crustal and Upper Mantle Research in Pannonian Basin by Electromagnetic Induction:A Review

The review paper summarizes the main results of the electromagnetic induction studies carried out in the Pannonian Basin and Carpathians during the last 30 years . The following conducting formations are discussed in detail : (1)Crustal conductors in the crystalline basement of the sedimentary basin mainly due to graphitic schist blocks clearly connected to the fracture tectonics of the area ; (2 ) Conducting layer in the lower crust probably due to free fluid deliberated by the dehydration process at temperature of 300-400℃during metamorphism ; (3 ) Conducting asthenosphere due to partial melting at the bottom of the lithosphere ; and (4) Conductivity increases due to olivine-spinel phase transition .All of these phenomena are strongly related to the special thermal state and tectonics of the Pannonian Basin and Carpathians.

INDUCTION OF APOPTOSIS IN S-180 AND S-180R TUMOR CELLS BY ADRIAMYCIN IN VIVO

Apoptosis of tumor cells have become a new standard for chemotherapy. It is useful to demonstrate induction of apoptosis in tumor cells by anti-cancer drugs in vivo. We reported the results of apoptosis induction in murine tumor cell line S-180 and it's resistant cell line S-180R by adriamycin in different dose and different time. We found that apoptosis in S-180 cells could be induced by low dose of adriamycin, the apoptosis was started at 24 h. after the administration, and reached to 62.5% of the cells to apptosis until 72 h. Comparison with the parental cell line, only 13% of S-180R cells were apoptosed. At high dose, 20% of S-180R cells were apoptosed, whereas, almost all S-180 cells were killed in the same time. The lymphocytes were appeared in abdominal cavity of the mice after treatment of adriamycin for 24 h. It was very interested to find out that there was no lymphocyte left in the abdominal cavity of the mice with S-180R cells treated at high dose of adriamycin.

Resistance identification of bivalent fungi-resistant genes transformed soybean to Phytophthora sojae

Soybean is one of the most important sources of edible oil and proteins in the world. However, it suffers from many kinds of fungal diseases which is a major limiting factor in soybean production. The fungal disease can be effectively controlled by breeding plant cultivars with genetic transformation. In this study, the resistance to Phytophthora sojae of five bivalent transgenic soybean lines was identified using the hypocotyls inoculation technique. The lines were the T2 of the transgenic soybean which were transformed with kidney bean chitinase gene and barley ribosome inactivating protein gene, and were positive by Southern Blot analysis. The resistance difference was studied through comparing the death percentage of transgenic soybean with the control. The results showed that four lines were more resistant to P sojae, whereas other one had no significant difference in comparison with the control. These transgenic soybean lines with enhanced resistance to P sojae will be useful in soybean resistance breeding.

Interfacial characteristics of high frequency induction brazed Cu and pre-metalized graphite joints

Oxygen-free copper and pre-metalized graphite were brazed using CuNiSnP braze alloy by high frequency induction heating method. Interracial microstructures and reaction phases were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy （EDS）. The strength and resistance of the joints were tested. It is found that when the brazing parameters are optimized, the structures of the joints are graphite/（Cu,Ni）/Ni（s.s）＋NixPy/Cu3P＋Cu（s.s） （including Sn）＋eutectic structures （Cu3P＋Ni3P＋Cu（s.s）/Cu （s.s）/Cu）. When the temperature increases to 750℃ or the holding time prolongs to 300 s, the eutectie structures disappear and the amount of Cu3P increases. The maximum shear strength of the joints is 5.2 MPa, which fracture at the interface of graphite and metallization. The resistance of the joints is no more than 5 mΩ.

A Study of Oxalate-Induced Systemic Resistance of Muskmelon to Squash Mosaic Virus

By treatment with oxalate muskmelon cultivar “Wangwenxiang”, which is sensitive to squash mosaic virus (SqMV), develops systemic resistance to SqMV significantly. The challenge inoculation experiments indicate that the symptom of oxalate treated plants gets much slighter, the virus content is only 4% reduced to. The peroxidase activity increases by five times, three new isoperoxidases are induced, and lignin content increases by 82.9%. These results indicate that oxalate induces systemic resistance of muskmelon to SqMV while it induces increase of peroxidase activity, new isoperoxidases and content of lignin in the plants treated with oxalate.

Advances in Plant Resistance to Viral Diseases Induced by Exogenous Double-stranded RNA

Application of exogenous double-stranded RNA( dsRNA) for virus resistance in plants represents a very attractive alternative to virus resistant transgenic crops or pesticides targeting virus vectors.However,the instability of dsRNA is a major challenge as spraying naked dsRNA onto plants provides protection against homologous viruses for only five days.Innovative approaches,such as the use of nanoparticles as carriers of dsRNA for improved stability and sustained release,are emerging as key disruptive technologies.Knowledge about the mechanism of entry,transport and processing of exogenously applied dsRNA in plants is still limited.In addition,cost of dsRNA and regulatory framework are still key influencers towards practical adoption of this technology.
