Effect of salt stress on growth and physiology in amaranth and lettuce: Implications for bioregenerative life support system

Growing plants can be used to clean waste water in bioregenerative life support system (BLSS). However, NaCl contained in the human urine always restricts plant growth and further reduces the degree of mass cycle closure of the system (i.e. salt stress). This work determined the effect of NaCl stress on physiological characteristics of plants for the life support system. Amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor L. var. Huahong) and leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. Luoma) were cultivated at nutrient solutions with different NaCl contents (0, 1000, 5000 and 10,000 ppm, respectively) for 10 to 18 days after planted in the Controlled Ecological Life Support System Experimental Facility in China. Results showed that the two plants have different responses to the salt stress. The amaranth showed higher salt-tolerance with NaCl stress. If NaCl content in the solution is below 5000 ppm, the salt stress effect is insignificant on above-ground biomass output, leaf photosynthesis rate, Fv/Fm, photosynthesis pigment contents, activities of antioxidant enzymes, and inducing lipid peroxidation. On the other hand, the lettuce is sensitive to NaCl which significantly decreases those indices of growth and physiology. Notably, the lettuce remains high productivity of edible biomass in low NaCl stress, although its salt-tolerant limitation is lower than amaranth. Therefore, we recommended that amaranth could be cultivated under a higher NaCl stress condition (<5000 ppm) for NaCl recycle while lettuce should be under a lower NaCl stress (<1000 ppm) for water cleaning in future BLSS.

Mode selection mechanism and magnetic diffusivity in a non-axisymmetric solar dynamo model

The generation of solar non-axisymmetric magnetic fields is studied based on a linear α²–Ω dynamo model in a rotating spherical frame. The model consists of a solar-like differential rotation, a magnetic diffusivity varied with depth, and three types of α-effects with different locations, i.e. the tachocline, the whole convective zone and the sub-surface. Some comparisons of the critical α-values of axisymmetric (m = 0) and longitude-dependent modes (m = 1,2,3) are presented to show the roles of the magnetic diffusivity in the problem of modes selection. With the changing of diffusivity intensity for the given solar differential rotation system, the dominant mode possibly changes likewise and the stronger the diffusivity is, the easier the non-axisymmetric modes are excited. The influence of the diffusivity and differential rotation on the configurations of the dominant modes are also presented.     

Development of a ground-based space micro-algae photo-bioreactor

The purpose of the research is to develop a photo-bioreactor which may produce algae protein and oxygen for future astronauts in comparatively long-term exploration, and remove carbon dioxide in a controlled ecological life support system. Based on technical parameters and performance requirements, the project planning, design drafting, and manufacture were conducted. Finally, a demonstration test for producing algae was done. Its productivity for micro-algae and performance of the photo-bioreactor were evaluated. The facility has nine subsystems, including the reactor, the illuminating unit, the carbon dioxide (CO₂) production unit and oxygen (O₂) generation unit, etc. The demonstration results showed that the facility worked well, and the parameters, such as energy consumption, volume, and productivity for algae, met with the design requirement. The density of algae in the photo-bioreactor increased from 0.174 g (dry weight) L⁻¹ to 4.064 g (dry weight) L⁻¹ after 7 days growth. The principle of providing CO₂ in the photo-bioreactor for algae and removing O₂ from the culture medium was suitable for the demand of space conditions. The facility has reasonable technical indices, and smooth and dependable performances.     

The bright mass ejection on the disk on October 14, 1980

A bright mass ejection appearing as a spray on the disk, associated with a 3b flare has been observed. A gap with a length of 2.5 × 10⁴ km and a width of 2 × 10⁴ km occurred between the flare and spray was observed. The intensity of the gap is about 1.6 times more intense than the undisturbed region. The spectral properties of the radio bursts corresponding to the flare and the spray are different. In addition, the flare and the spray are also different in their hard X ray emissions.Observation has not shown any relation between teh spray and the filament that existed previously in the active region. Perhaps the flare and the spray are produced simultaneously by the same mechanism. An observational model of the flare and the spray is shown in figure 3.

Ti-Al-TiO2系的热压合成及反应过程研究

利用Ti-Al-TiO2系的放热反应,以原位合成和联合引入Al2O3颗粒的思路经热压合成了TiAl基复合材料。借助DTA研究了Ti-Al-TiO2系的反应过程,并采用XRD、SEM等检测手段表征了产物的相组成及微观结构。结果表明:Ti-Al-TiO2系的反应始于Al的熔化,首先发生了Ti和Al的化合反应最早生成了TiAl3;继而引发了Al和TiO2的还原反应,释放出大量热量;最后非稳定态TiAl3与Ti结合经竞争扩散反应,生成稳定态的TiAl和Ti3Al。产物由TiAl、Ti3Al和Al2O3三种物相组成,Al2O3颗粒分布于基体交界处,存在一定的团聚。Al2O3的引入,使得基体晶粒尺寸变小,但脆性相含量增多。
