Zinc sulfate, ferrous sulfate, and borax were split sprinkled on 2-year-old gentian on June 26, July 18, and August 25, 2002, with sprinkling water taken as a control. Compared with the control, applying B significantly increased （P 〈 0.05） the gentiopicroside content by 7.9%, and there was a highly significant increase of 22.4% （P 〈 0.01） in the root dry weight. Meanwhile, B content in the shoots of gentian gradually increased from the vegetative to the harvesting period, while Fe decreased at first and then increased. Fc treatment increased the gentiopicroside content only by 4.0% and the content was slightly decreased by the Zn treatment （3.1%） as compared to the control. The three microelements had different effects on the gentiopicroside content and appropriate microelement application could increase active ingredient content of gentian.展开更多

[ Method] Four separate 30 m2 concrete pools were used as a closed circulating water aquaculture system for the experiment. Simultaneously, approximately 1 800 groupers were placed in each of the two pools for treatment or control. The initial weight of the individual fish was （275.55 ＋29.79）g. They were fed with either a control diet or one con- raining 0.6% laminarin in the pools for 66 d. [ Result] At the end of the feeding trial, the weight gain of the groupers in treatment group was increased by 29.03% （ P 〈 0.05 ）, the specific growth ratio was increased by 23.88% （ P 〈 0.05 ）, and the feed conversion rate was decreased by 15.20% （ P 〈 0.05 ） compared to control group, while there was no significant difference in muscle nutritional components between treatment group and control group （ P 〉 0.05 ）. For each kilogram weight gain of an individual fish, the cost of the treatment diet was 1.96 yuan less than that of control diet, i. e. , a reduction of 12.54%. On the other hand, the activities of alkaline phosphatase （AKP）, lysozyme （LZM） and total superoxide dismutase （T-SOD） of the groupers in treatment group were significantly higher than those in control group （P 〈 0.05 ）. [ Conclusion ] Addition of 0.6% laminarin in the regular feed would improve the growth performance and immunity of pearl gentian groupers in aquaculture.展开更多

Yeats and T. S. Eliot."Bavarian Gentians"is one of his masterpieces, which was written in the last few months of his life along with some other poems on death, heaven and hell, including The Ship of Death, Glory of Darkness and Song of Death. The mythological poem, a bit mystic and surreal, embodies the view of Lawrence on death. This paper is trying to give a brief analysis on the images and theme of the poem.展开更多
