24  The Significance of Paddy Ecosystems in Environmental Health and Sustainable Development of Economy in the Regions Around Taihu Lake ZHANG Weijian, DING Yanfeng, WANG Longjun, et al Abstract: Rice cropping around Tai Lake faces again with various oppugns and criticisms from the government and the academic circles worldwide. As the largest managed wetland system in the world, in fact, the paddy ecosystem has highly integrated service functions. With a summary of related researches and the field surveys of rice production, this paper discusses the integrated functions of the paddy ecosystem in Jiangsu around Tai Lake based on the author's long-term research on paddy ecosystems. It is shown that, under appropriate management regimes of rice-cropping, the paddy ecosystem not only helps climate regulation, atmospheric quality improvement and water and soil conservation, but also provides tremendous direct and indirect economic benefits through rice production around Taihu Lake area. Sustainable rice production can make a great contribution to city-rural harmonization and social harmonious development. People's bias on rice cropping around Tai Lake should be corrected. Based on a scientific planning of paddy field layout, with new techniques for conservational rice cropping and incentive policies of household production, the functions of paddy ecosystem may be enhanced to guarantee food security, environmental health and economic sustainable growth. Key Words: paddy ecosystem; food security; ecological security; environmental health; economic growth; Tai Lake CLC Numbers: S5, X3  Document Code: A  Article ID: 1000-7857(2007)17-0024-06
30  Genetic Mapping of the R10 Gene for Resisting Late Blight in Potato by Comparative Genomics XU Jianfei, WANG Jiajia, LI Ying, et al.. Abstract: Late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans is the most destructive disease for potato. The R10 gene for resisting potato late blight has a broad resistance spectrum and is widely used in breeding programs. R10, like R3a cloned, is a member of major late blight resistance complex and locates on the short arm of chromosome 11. A segregating population of 195 genotypes is inoculated and analyzed. A single dominant gene is identified in the R10 differential where the P. infestans isolate 89148-9 is avirulent. Six markers linked to R10 are developed using a combined strategy of comparative genomics and bulked segregant analysis. R10 resides between the two PCR markers 1001T and C2_At5g59960 that define a genetic interval of 2.6 cM, telomeric to the cloned R3a gene. The genetic map obtained may be used for molecular isolation of the R10 gene via positional cloning and comparative genomics. Key Words: potato; late blight; R10; genetic mapping CLC Numbers: S532, Q781  Document Code: A  Article ID: 1000-7857(2007)17-0030-06
36  Characteristics of Thermal Infrared Image of the Evolution of Breast Cancer Implanted in Mice and Its Significance in Early Diagnostics ZHANG Hui, YANG Yang, LIU Jing. Abstract: This paper presents a simulation of the physiological evolution of human tumor by culturing the mice implanted with cancer cells. Using the far-infrared imaging system to monitor the development of tumor at initial and middle stages, a comprehensive record of the growth of breast cancer was obtained. Meanwhile, theoretical characterization was performed on the growth mechanism of the breast cancer cells. According to the experiments, at the initial stage after the mice were implanted with breast cancer cells, the tumor can not be observed from the skin surface of the mice. However, its existence can be easily detected by far-infrared imaging, which is sensitive in monitoring the tumor development in mice. That is why far-infrared imaging may be used for early diagnosis of breast cancer. Further, the theoretical simulation and the gathered experimental date show that, growth of the mice tumor cells follows an exponential trend. Key Words: infrared imaging; galactophore cancer; tumor cell; thermal effect; early detection；non invasive diagnostics CLC Numbers: R737.9, R445.7  Document Code: A  Article ID: 1000-7857(2007)17-0036-07
43  The Research on α-2 Macroglobulin in the Thrombin HUANG Yaojiang, LIU Lina, QU Guixiang, et al. Abstract: Thrombin as a hemostatic drug can be extracted from blood. Because there are more than 100 plasma proteins in blood, it is natural for thrombin to contain some plasma proteins. α-2 macroglobulin is one of the important plasma proteins and it can pavilion and protect trypsin. Soybean trypsin inhibitors are used to inactivate the trypsin that can not be pavilioned, and then the activity of α-2 macroglobulin included in the thrombin mixture is detected by using the special substance-BAPNA. It shows that the thrombin extracted from blood does contain the α-2 macroglobulin. This work provides some guidance for thrombin purification. Key Words: thrombin; α-2 macroglobulin; BAPNA CLC Number: R973.1  Document Code: A  Article ID: 1000-7857(2007)17-0043-03
46  The Mechanical-electrical Coupling Model for EME of Coal or Rock HE Xueqiu, WANG Enyuan, WEI Jianping, et al. Abstract: Based on the mechanical and electrical coupling in EME of coal or rock and the statistical theory of damage mechanics, a coupling model for EME of coal or rock is established in this paper, which is a modification of a previous model, based on the simulation study on Weibull morphological parameter m. The value of m and EME for different coal or rock samples are simulated by using the modified coupling model, and the results agree well with experimental values. Key Words: EME; Mechanical-electrical coupling; morphological parameter m; numerical simulation CLC Numbers: O441.5, O346.5  Document Code: A  Article ID: 1000-7857(2007)17-0046-06
52  Internet/Intranet-Based Load Estimation Measurement System ZHANG Xiuying, ZHANG Chuanmin, ZHANG Chuanli, et al. Abstract: In this paper, GPS-based mobile measurement system is introduced including the hardware and the architecture of the system based on Internet/Intranet. The measurement system has bee applied in Australian Network and successfully extracted the oscillatory frequency and damming values of the power system. Results from the analysis show that the angle measurement system is able to be used to record the variation of phase angle of the power system thus to carry out the post-event analysis of the incident of the power system successfully and extracting oscillation of the system in real-time. Key Words: mode; power system oscillation; voltage angle CLC Number: TP227  Document Code: A  Article ID: 1000-7857(2007)17-0052-03
55  On the Warming Trend in Northeast China During the Past 50 Years and an Anglysis on Its Causes DONG Qianlin, YU Zhiwei, BI Siwen Abstract: The air temperature in Northeast China Region, the base of China's heavy industry,  has raised significantly since the 50's of the 20th century. For an analysis on the causes, Northeast China Region is divided into 29 districts by Thiessen Polygon Program. At the same time, the mean annual temperature in each sampling position is taken to represent the temperature of each district. Then the variation of the mean annual temperature of each sampling position is analyzed from 1951 to 1998 and the increasing rate of air temperature in the 29 districts is obtained through least squares method. Finally, a special subject diagram is created, which reflects different prospective increasing rate of mean annual temperature in the 29 districts. It is shown that the increasing rate of air temperature in some districts is significantly different from those of the others, and  that the more human activities there are, more greenhouse gas that mankind has released and more industrialized the region is, the more significantly the temperature of the region is raised. However, the increasing rate of the regional air temperature is much redused near the ocean.

61  The Characteristics and Its Neural Background of Numerical Order Cognition GAO Hang, Zhou Luping Abstract: Numerical order cognition is one of the most important parts of numerical cognition. Research shows that it has its roots both in evolution and individual's development, and has similar behavioral effects as numerical magnitude cognition. But they are associated with different spatio-temporal courses in parietal and prefrontal cortices. It is inconclusive as to whether the numerical order cognition and the numerical quantity cognition are related with some common underlying mechanisms, or they are related with (at least partially) distinct processes. Key Words: numerical order; numerical magnitude; numerical cognition; neural background; parietal cortex CLC Number: B842  Document Code: A  Article ID: 1000-7857(2007)17-0061-04
