华流在韩国

进入20世纪90年代,韩国大众文化即"韩流"开始在中国流行,其影响一直扩展到台湾、香港、东南亚和日本。不过一定不要忽视的一个事实就是在"韩流"以前,"日流"在中国和台湾等地已经流行过,"粤语流行文化"也在东亚风靡过。在日本,"韩流"以外还有其它多样的大众文化被消费。90年代以后,东亚域内大众文化流动比以往任何时候都活跃。岩渊功一从急速的经济成长和本土化的近现代化经验的交换中寻找原因。本文以"韩流"现象为参照体系,在"亚洲大众文化流动"这一大框架中考察了韩国对华流的接收以及华流对韩国的影响。文化流动是双向的。包括香港、台湾地区在内的中国人为之狂热的"韩流"内涵当中,也有韩国人接收然后将其本土化的中国因素,可以将各地域经历的"近现代化"的本土化经验进行一下对照比较。要想对其进行有效的说明,必须具备"亚洲大众文化流动"这一视角。

Identification of variety of rice and determination of content of each rice in mixtures of two rices by nonlinear chemical analysis

Fingerprints of two varieties of rice and their mixtures were investigated by a nonlinear chemical reaction system consisting of rice components,sodium bromate,manganese sulfate,sulfuric acid and acetone.The variety of rice was identified by the visual characteristic of fingerprint and system similarity pattern recognition,and the content of each variety of rice in the mixture was determined by the quantitative information of fingerprint.The results show that nonlinear chemical analysis may be used to exactly identify the variety of pure rice and to accurately determine the content of each variety of rice in the mixture,indicating the method is simple and convenient.

Genetic Divergence among Progenies Resulting from the Crossing of Groups Coffee Timor Hybrid and Dilla ＆ Alghe

This study aimed to agronomically and morphologically characterize, as well as analyze the genetic divergence of Dilla ＆ Alghe x Timor hybrid progenies of the coffee germplasm bank of Minas Gerais in Brazil to improve the breeding and management schemes of the hybrids. Forty-two morpho-agronomic traits were evaluated and the generalized Mahalanobis distance was used to quantify the genetic divergence among progenies. Tocher clustering, unweighted pair-group method using arithmetic averages （UPGMA） method and canonical variation analysis were employed as clustering strategies. The Tocher and UPGMA methods have been separated the progenies into eight and five groups, respectively. Analysis of the relative contribution of each characteristic to genetic dissimilarity highlighted the characteristics of production in liters in 2009, production notes in 2009, and average uniformity of maturation in 2009 as those that contributed most to obtaining genetic divergence. The authors observed that the first three canonical variables accounted for over 99% of the total variance observed in the full set of analyzed characteristics. High variability was observed among the 15 progenies of Dilla ＆ Alghe × Timor hybrid progenies. The progenies MG0589 and MG0592, MG0593 and MG0589, MG0591 and MG0589, MG0589 and MG0588, MG0589 and MG0583 were the most suitable crosses for exploring the genetic variability in Dilla ＆ Alghe × Timor hybrid generated from the germplasm bank of Minas Gerais. Through these crossovers, it is expected to get new coffee cultivars with desirable agronomic characteristics, as resistant to Pseudomonas xyringae pv. garcae and some breeds ofHemileia vastatrix.

Hybridization and genome evolution II： Mechanisms of species divergence and their effects on evolution in hybrids

Recent genomic studies have highlighted the importance of hybridization and gene exchange in evolution. We ask what factors cause variation in the impact of hybridization, through adaptation in hybrids and the likelihood of hybrid speciation. During speciation, traits that diverge due to both divergent and stabilizing selection can contribute to the buildup of reproductive isolation. Divergent directional selection in parent taxa should lead to intermediate phenotypes in hybrids, whereas stabilizing se- lection can also produce extreme, transgressive phenotypes when hybridization occurs. By examining existing theory and em- pirical data, we discuss how these effects, combined with differences between modes of divergence in the chromosomal distribu- tion of incompatibilities, affect adaptation and speciation in hybrid populations. The result is a clear and testable set of predic- tions that can be used to examine hybrid adaptation and speciation. Stabilizing selection in parents increases transgression in hy- brids, increasing the possibility for novel adaptation. Divergent directional selection causes intermediate hybrid phenotypes and increases their ability to evolve along the direction of parental differentiation. Stabilizing selection biases incompatibilities to- wards autosomes, leading to reduced sexual correlations in trait values and reduced pleiotropy in hybrids, and hence increased freedom in the direction of evolution. Directional selection causes a bias towards sex-linked incompatibilities, with the opposite consequences. Divergence by directional selection leads to greater dominance effects than stabilizing selection, with major but variable impacts on hybrid evolution [Current Zoology 59 （5）： 675-685, 2013].

A comparative study of distant hybridization in plants and animals

Distant hybridization refers to crosses between two different species, genera, or higher-ranking taxa, which can break species limits, increase genetic variation, and combine the biological characteristics of existing species. It is an important way of creating genetic variation, fertile strains, and excellent characteristics in new strains and populations. Combining analyses and summaries from many inter-related documents in plants and animals, both domestic and international, including examples and long-standing research on distant hybridization in fish from our laboratory, we summarize and compare the similarities and differences in plant and animal distant hybridization. In addition, we analyze and review the biological characteristics of their different ploidy progenies and the possible causes of disparity in survival rates. Mechanisms of sterility in animal and plant distant hybrids are also discussed, and research methods for the study of biological characteristics of hybrids, including morphology, cytology,and molecular cytogenetics are presented. This paper aims to provide comprehensive research materials and to systematically compare the general and specific characteristics of plant and animal hybrids with regards to reproduction, genetics, growth traits,and other biological characteristics. It is hoped that this paper will have great theoretical and practical significance for the study of genetic breeding and biological evolution of plant and animal distant hybridization.

Hybridization and genome evolution I： The role of contingency during hybrid speciation

Homoploid hybrid speciation （HHS） involves the recombination of two differentiated genomes into a novel, func- tional one without a change in chromosome number. Theoretically, there are numerous ways for two parental genomes to recom- bine. Hence, chance may play a large role in the formation of a hybrid species. If these genome combinations can evolve rapidly following hybridization and sympatric situations are numerous, recurrent homoploid hybrid speciation is a possibility. We argue that three different, but not mutually exclusive, types of contingencies could influence this process. First, many of these ＂hopeful monsters＂ of recombinant parent genotypes would likely have low fitness. Only specific combinations of parental genomic con- tributions may produce viable, intra-fertile hybrid species able to accommodate potential constraints arising from intragenomic conflict. Second, ecological conditions （competition, geography of the contact zones or the initial frequency of both parent spe- cies） might favor different outcomes ranging from sympatric coexistence to the formation of hybrid swarms and ultimately hybrid speciation. Finally, history may also play an important role in promoting or constraining recurrent HHS if multiple hybridization events occur sequentially and parental divergence or isolation differs along this continuum. We discuss under which conditions HHS may occur multiple times in parallel and to what extent recombination and selection may fuse the parent genomes in the same or different ways. We conclude by examining different approaches that might help to solve this intriguing evolutionary puz- zle [Current Zoology 59 （5）： 667-674, 2013].

Bifunctional catalysts of Co3O4@GCN tubular nanostructured （TNS） hybrids for oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions

Catalysts for oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions （OER/HER） are at the heart of renewable green energy sources such as water splitting. Although incredible efforts have been made to develop efficient catalysts for OER and HER, great challenges still remain in the development of bifunctional catalysts. Here, we report a novel hybrid of Co3O4 embedded in tubular nanostructures of graphitic carbon nitride （GCN） and synthesized through a facile, large-scale chemical method at low temperature. Strong synergistic effects between Co3O4 and GCN resulted in excellent performance as a bifunctional catalyst for OER and HER. The high surface area, unique tubular nanostructure, and composition of the hybrid made all redox sites easily available for catalysis and provided faster ionic and electronic conduction. The Co3O4@GCN tubular nanostructured （TNS） hybrid exhibited the lowest overpotential （0.12 V） and excellent current density （147 mA/cm^2） in OER, better than benchmarks IrO2 and RuO2, and with superior durability in alkaline media. Furthermore, the Co3O4@GCN TNS hybrid demonstrated excellent performance in HER, with a much lower onset and overpotential, and a stable current density. It is expected that the Co3O4@GCN TNS hybrid developed in this study will be an attractive alternative to noble metals catalysts in large scale water splitting and fuel cells.

Analysis of the phytochemical contents and antioxidant activities of crude extracts from Tulbaghia species

OBJECTIVE: To assess the phytochemical contents and antioxidant activities of crude extracts from selected Tulbaghia species.METHODS: Standard methods were used for preliminary phytochemical analysis. The total phenolic acid contents of the plant extracts were determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu method, and the total flavonoid contents were determined using the aluminum chloride colorimetric method. 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2′-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) assays were used to evaluate the antioxidant activities.RESULTS: Phytochemical screening showed flavonoids, glycosides, tannins, terpenoids, saponins,and steroids were present in the Tulbaghia species.The total phenolic acid and flavonoid contents varied in the different plant extracts, ranging from4.50 to 11.10 mg of gallic acid equivalents per gram of fresh material and 3.04 to 9.65 mg of quercetin equivalents per gram, respectively. The IC50 values determined for Tulbaghia alliacea and Tulbaghia violacea based on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(0.06 and 0.08 mg/m L, respectively) and 2,2′-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)(0.06 and 0.03 mg/m L, respectively) were low and showed they had potential antioxidant activities.CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that individual compounds from Tulbaghia species should be isolated for analysis of their antioxidant activity because some compounds may work best when pure.
