Agricultural development and the opportunities for aquatic resources research in China
China is a large and rapidly developing country. Fisheries and aquaculture have been prominent sectors in the contribution to GDP and the provision of food security, export revenue, and livelihoods for the poor. The rapid development has come at some cost to the environment and the sustainability of natural resources. Levels of marine fisheries catches are stagnant. Some of the rivers and major lakes are polluted and the restoration of the productivity of these lakes is of key concern. These Proceedings, made up of four papers that leading Chinese experts presented to WorldFish Center in 2002, review four aspects of these trends: agricultural development, environmental issues and the contribution of aquaculture and fisheries to development in China.Agricultural development, Aquaculture development, Living resources, Research, WorldFish Center, WorldFish Center Contrib.

Synergistic therapeutic effect of arsenic trioxide and radiotherapy in BALB/C nude mice bearing nasopharyngeal carcinoma xenografts
It has been shown that arsenic trioxide (ATO) induced apoptosis in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells and inhibited the growth of nasopharyngeal carcinoma xenografts (NPCX) in nude mice. Aim: The present study was designed to determine whether ATO at the non-toxic dose level could potentiate the therapeutic effectiveness of radiation therapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, using a BALB/C nude mouse xenograft model. Methods: The mice bearing NPCX were treated with radiation alone (2, 4, and 6 Gy), ATO alone (4 mg/kg/day x 6 days), and ATO plus radiation at the same dosage levels. Time of tumor growth delay (defined as the time necessary for the tumor to grow four-fold of its initial volume after, compared with untreated tumors) and toxic effects were determined. Results: The low dose ATO alone has no pronounced effects on tumor growth delay compared to untreated control. However, compared with radiation alone, the combined regimen delayed the tumor growth by 2β10 days and had no significant toxic effects such as the liver function damage. Conclusions: Combination of ATO at non-toxic dose level and radiation has synergistic effects on tumor growth inhibition in vivo and is well tolerated.Π£ΡΡΠ°Π½ΠΎΠ²Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ, ΡΡΠΎ ΡΡΠΈΠΎΠΊΡΠΈΠ΄ ΠΌΡΡΡΡΠΊΠ° (Π’ΠΠ) ΠΈΠ½Π΄ΡΡΠΈΡΡΠ΅Ρ Π°ΠΏΠΎΠΏΡΠΎΠ· Π² ΠΊΠ»Π΅ΡΠΊΠ°Ρ

Dynamic Stress Intensity Factor for Interfacial Cracks of Mode III Emanating from Circular Cavities in Piezoelectric Bimaterials
This paper investigates dynamic stress intensity factors in piezoelectric bimaterials with interfacial cracks emanating from the circular cavities under steady SH-waves. The interfacial cracks are assumed to be permeable. Green functions for the experiment were constructed through complex variable and wave function expansion methods. Based on the crack-division and conjunction techniques, a series of Fredholm integral equations of the first kind were established to calculate the stress intensity of the crack tips. Direct numerical integration was used to solve the equations. Some numerical results were plotted to indicate the influence of the defect geometry, material constants, and SH-wave frequencies on dynamic stress intensity factors
Crystal Structure, Infrared Spectra, and Microwave Dielectric Properties of Temperature-Stable Zircon-Type (Y,Bi)VO<inf>4</inf> Solid-Solution Ceramics
A series of (Bi 1-x Y x )VO 4 (0.4 β€ x β€ 1.0) ceramics were synthesized using the traditional solid-state reaction method. In the composition range of 0.4 β€ x β€ 1.0, a zircon-type solid solution was formed between 900 and 1550 Β°C. Combined with our previous work (scheelite monoclinic and zircon-type phases coexist in the range of x < 0.40), a pseudobinary phase diagram of BiVO 4 -YVO 4 is presented. As x decreased from 1.0 to 0.40, the microwave permittivity (Ο΅ r ) of (Bi 1-x Y x )VO 4 ceramics increased linearly from 11.03 to 30.9, coincident with an increase in the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (TCF) from -61.3 to +103 ppm/Β°C. Excellent microwave dielectric properties were obtained for (Bi 0.3 Y 0.7 )VO 4 sintered at 1025 Β°C and (Bi 0.2 Y 0.8 )VO 4 sintered at 1075 Β°C with Ο΅ r βΌ 19.35, microwave quality factor (Qf) βΌ 25 760 GHz, and TCF βΌ +17.8 ppm/Β°C and Ο΅ r βΌ 16.3, Qf βΌ 31 100 GHz, and TCF βΌ -11.9 ppm/Β°C, respectively. Raman spectra, Shannon's additive rule, a classical oscillator model, and far-infrared spectra were employed to study the structure-property relations in detail. All evidence supported the premise that Bi-based vibrations dominate the dielectric permittivity in the microwave region
Novel water insoluble (NaxAg2-x) MoO4 (0 <= x <= 2) microwave dielectric ceramics with spinel structure sintered at 410 degrees
In the present work, a novel series of water insoluble ultra-low temperature firing (Na,Ag)2MoO4 microwave dielectrics were prepared via the traditional solid state reaction method. A spinel structured solid solution was formed in the full composition range in the (NaxAg2βx)MoO4 (0 β€ x β€ 2). As x increased from 0 to 2.0, cell volume decreased linearly from 9.32 Γ
to 9.10 Γ
. Sintering behavior were described using a so-called βbowingβ effect and densification was achieved below 420 Β°C for 0.5 β€ x β€ 1.2 with grain size, 1 to 5 ΞΌm. Optimum microwave dielectric properties were obtained for (Na1.2Ag0.8)MoO4 ceramics sintered at 410 Β°C with a permittivity βΌ8.1, a microwave quality factor βΌ44 800 GHz and the temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency βΌβ82 ppm Β°Cβ1 at 13.9 GHz. Silver within the solid solution inhibited hydrolyzation of ceramics and also reduced their sintering temperature. Compared with the sintering temperatures of traditional microwave dielectric ceramic (Al2O3, >1400 Β°C) and normal low temperature co-fired ceramics (<960 Β°C), this system will save lots of energy during processing and accelerate developments of sustainable electronic materials and devices
Polarization of AGN in UV Spectral Range
We present the review of some new problems in cosmology and physics of stars
in connection with future launching of WSO. We discuss three problems. UV
observations of distant z > 6 quasars allow to obtain information on the soft <
1 KeV X-ray radiation of the accretion disk around a supermassive black hole
because of its cosmological redshift. Really the region of X-ray radiation is
insufficiently investigated because of high galactic absorption. In a result
one will get important information on the reionization zone of the Universe.
Astronomers from ESO revealed the effect of alignment of electric vectors of
polarized QSOs. One of the probable mechanism of such alignment is the
conversion of QSO radiation into low mass pseudoscalar particles (axions) in
the extragalactic magnetic field. These boson like particles have been
predicted by new SUSY particle physics theory. Since the probability of such
conversion is increasing namely in UV spectral range one can expect the strong
correlation between UV spectral energy distribution of QSO radiation and
polarimetric data in the optical range. In the stellar physics one of the
interesting problems is the origin of the X-ray sources with super Eddington
luminosities. The results of UV observations of these X-ray sources will allow
to find the origin of these sources as accreting intermediate mass black holes.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
Non-Archimedean character of quantum buoyancy and the generalized second law of thermodynamics
Quantum buoyancy has been proposed as the mechanism protecting the
generalized second law when an entropy--bearing object is slowly lowered
towards a black hole and then dropped in. We point out that the original
derivation of the buoyant force from a fluid picture of the acceleration
radiation is invalid unless the object is almost at the horizon, because
otherwise typical wavelengths in the radiation are larger than the object. The
buoyant force is here calculated from the diffractive scattering of waves off
the object, and found to be weaker than in the original theory. As a
consequence, the argument justifying the generalized second law from buoyancy
cannot be completed unless the optimal drop point is next to the horizon. The
universal bound on entropy is always a sufficient condition for operation of
the generalized second law, and can be derived from that law when the optimal
drop point is close to the horizon. We also compute the quantum buoyancy of an
elementary charged particle; it turns out to be negligible for energetic
considerations. Finally, we speculate on the significance of the absence from
the bound of any mention of the number of particle species in nature.Comment: RevTeX, 16 page
High permittivity and low loss microwave dielectrics suitable for 5G resonators and low temperature co-fired ceramic architecture
Bi 2 (Li 0.5 Ta 1.5 )O 7 + xBi 2 O 3 (x = 0, 0.01 and 0.02) ceramics were prepared using a solid state reaction method. All compositions were crystallized in a single Bi 2 (Li 0.5 Ta 1.5 )O 7 phase without secondary peaks in X-ray diffraction patterns. Bi 2 (Li 0.5 Ta 1.5 )O 7 ceramics were densified at 1025 Β°C with a permittivity (Ο΅ r ) of βΌ 65.1, Q f βΌ 15500 GHz (Q βΌ microwave quality factor; f βΌ resonant frequency; 16780 GHz when annealed in O 2 ) and the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (TCF) was βΌ -17.5 ppm Β°C -1 . The sintering temperature was lowered to βΌ920 Β°C by the addition of 2 mol% excess Bi 2 O 3 (Ο΅ r βΌ 64.1, a Q f βΌ 11200 GHz/11650 GHz when annealed in O 2 and at a TCF of βΌ -19 ppm Β°C -1 ) with compositions chemically compatible with Ag electrodes. Bi 2 (Li 0.5 Ta 1.5 )O 7 + xBi 2 O 3 are ideal for application as dielectric resonators in 5G mobile base station technology for which ceramics with 60 < Ο΅ r < 70, high Q f and close to zero TCF are commercially unavailable. They may additionally prove to be useful as high Ο΅ r and high Q f materials in low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology
