The nonequilibrium statistical theory thus developed relates the growth of cracks with a dislocation mechanism to simulate short fatigue crack growth with the long fatigue crack growth behaviour and predicts the fatigue crack growth rates throughout the fatigue lifetime. The results is finally compared with that of other fatigue theories.展开更多

No Dinophysis species were maintained in culture for a long period of time until 2006 when Park successfully established D. acuminata in culture using a three-step feeding protocol in which the cryptophyte, Geminigera cryophila, is fed to Myrionecta rubra (=Mesodinium rubrum), a ciliate that is in turn fed to D. acuminata. In this paper, we present the details of culturing D. acuminata from the Northeastern United States. The protocols described herein can be adopted for laboratory studies of this species. The effects of temperature on the growth and ingestion rates of D. acuminata were also examined. The results show that D. acuminata growth rate was 0.23/d at 10℃ and 0.11/d at 4℃when fed M. rubra prey. The maximum prey ingestion rate was 2.80 Dinophysis cell/d at 10℃, although the rate decreased slightly at 4℃. In overall, temperature showed a greater influence on growth rate of D. acuminata than on the ingestion rate under the study conditions, and the quantity of available food was also an important regulator to D. acurninata growth.展开更多

The respiration rate, the weight change of single fruit during growth development and the losing water of postharvest of fruit were studied. The results showed that the curve of fruit growth development was a double sigmoid characteristic. When the surface colour of fruit changed form jade-green to alizarin crimson, the respiration rate tended to fall during a entire growth development of fruit, which showed a fluctuation phenomenon. The respiration rate descended when the surface color changed from coloring to baby red, but after a crimson stage the respiration rate recurred to its original downtrend. With increasing of single fruit weight, phenomenon of respiration climacteric has not happened and the respiration rate curve showed a concavity characteristic at some stages. As a result, there was not a phenomenon of respiration climacteric with a double sigmoid growth development curve characteristic of fruit.展开更多

Methods: The growth-thermogram curves of Escherichia coli (E. coli) affected by Shexiang (Moschus) and Bingpian (Borneolum Synthcticum) at different concentrations were determined with microcalorimetry, and the power-time curves (thermogram curves) of E. coli metabolism and characteristic parameters, such as growth rate constant (k), maximum output power (Pm), peak time (tp), total heat-output (Qt), etc. were analyzed with the principal component analysis (PCA) to find the close correlative parameters, so as to objectively reflect the drug property differences of Shexiang (Moschus) and Bingpian (Borneolum Synthcticum). Results: The values of P2 in the second exponential growth phase increased with the increase of the concentrations of Shexiang (Moschus) and Bingpian (Borneolum Synthcticum), and the P2 of Shexiang (Moschus) was larger than that of Bingpian (Borneolum Synthcticum); Q2 increased with the increase of the concentrations of Shexiang (Moschus), but for Bingpian (Borneolum Synthcticum) it was opposite. It is indicated that they have different effects on P2 and Q2 of E. coli in the second exponential growth phase, and have differences in warm and cold natures. Conclusion: The microcalorimetry can accurately and objectively appraise differences of the drug property of Shexiang (Moschus) and Bingpian (Borneolum Synthcticum) and verify the objectivity and authenticity of the drug property, so as to provide a new and useful method for studies of the drug property of Chinese drugs.展开更多
