After a short review and analysis of the various hypotheses regarding crustal movement that have been hitherto presented, the author, oa the basis of the particularly superior conditions of the structural development in China, pointed out in this paper the general direction for the solution of the problem of crustal movement from the viewpoint and method of geomechanics, From the structural phenomena objectively existed on the earth’s surface, one can trace the action of forces, and from how forces are applied, he can trace the manner of the movement of the *** main characteristics of the structures both in the continents and in the oceanic floors have been elucidated. Based on the regularities of the distribution and arrangement of the various structural systems, the author was led to the conclusion that the directions of the regional movements of the crust and the general direction of crustal movement as a whole are in unity and in coincidence, i. e. they are either meridional or latitudinal hor

Protein phosphorylation plays an important role in physiological processes, such as muscle contraction. Phospho-specific antibodies have become powerful tools to study these processes. Cardiac myosin binding protein-C (cMyBP-C) is one of the proteins that make up the contractile apparatus of cardiomyocytes. Phosphorylation of cMyBP-C is essential for normal cardiac function, since dephosphorylation of this protein leads to its degradation and has been associated with cardiomyopathy. One of the upstream kinases, which phosphorylate cMyBP-C, is protein kinase D (PKD). While studying the role of PKD in cMyBP-C phosphorylation, we tried to analyze phosphorylation of PKD with a phospho-specific PKD-ser744/748 antibody. Contrary to the expected 115 kDa, a signal was found for a 150-kDa protein. By MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, we identified this protein to be cMyBP-C. These data were confirmed by immunostaining using the p-PKD-ser744/748 antibody, which displayed a striated pattern similar to the one observed for a regular cMyBP-C antibody. To our knowledge there are no antibodies commercially available for phosphorylated cMyBP-C. Thus, the p-PKD-ser744/748 antibody can accelerate research into the role of cMyBP-C phosphorylation in cardiomyocytes.

The notion that South China was a post-Caledonian platform is clearly proven incorrect by the ev-idence of Mesozoic deformation and igneous activities. Reinterpretation of map patterns suggested the pres-ence of Mesozoic orogenic belt comparable to Southern Appalachians in dimension and in style of de-formation. Field work in 1985 led to the discovery of possible flysch and rigid basement nappes, whichhave been thrust onto carbonate platform. A suture zone has been identified. The Huanan Alps owed itsorigin to Indosinian Orogeny, which eliminated a Paleo Tethyan Seaway, the Xiangganzhe （Hunan-ji-angxi-Zhejiang） Ocean between the Yangtze and Huanan Terranes.

Combined with the chromosome G-banding, followed by Ciemsa-11 techniques and chromosomalmarker isozyme analysis, 6 out of 200 subclones have been analyzed in detail. A primary hybrid clonepanel has been established, which can be used to map genes on chromosomes 4, 5, 8, 12, 20 and *** the panel contains deleted chromosomes 4, 5, 8 and 12, genes on these chromosomes can be map-ped regionally.

Developing a model for soybean seed emergence offers a tool producers could use for planting date options and in predicting seedling emergence. In this study, temperature effects on soybean seed emergence were quantified, modeled, and validated. The data for seed emergence model development was generated at varying temperatures, 20°C/12°C, 25°C/17°C, 30°C/22°C, 35°C/27°C, and 40°C/32°C, on two soybean cultivars, Asgrow AG5332 and Progeny P 5333 RY. Time for 50% emergence (t50%) was recorded, and seed emergence rate (ser) was estimated as reciprocal to time at each temperature in both the cultivars. No differences were observed between the cultivars in their response to temperature. A quadratic model (QM) best described the relationship between t50% and SGR and temperature (R2 = 0.93). Two sets of experiments were conducted to validate the model. In Experiment 1, 17 time-series planting date studies with the same cultivars were used by utilizing diurnal and seasonal changes in temperature conditions. In the second experiment, sunlit growth chambers with 3 different day/night temperatures, low—20°C/12°C, optimum—30°C/22°C, and high—40°C/32°C, and 64 soybean cultivars belonging MG III, IV, and V, were used. Air temperature and t50 were recorded, and SGR was estimated in all experiments. No differences were recorded among the cultivars for t50% and SGR, but differences were observed among seeding date and temperature experiments. We tested QM and traditionally used Growing Degree Days models against the data collected in validation experiments. Both the model simulations predictions agreed closely with the observed data. Based on model statistics, R2, root mean square errors (RMSE), and comparison of observations and predictions to assess model performance, the QM model performed better than the GDD model for soybean seed emergence under a wide range of cultivars and environmental conditions.

Livestock production impacts food security of developing countries, especially where efficiency of production is compromised by environmental stressors. In South Africa, breeding with indigenous Afrikaner cattle that are genetically well adapted to subtropical environments is considered an essential strategy for sustainable beef production. Today, there is a potential for farmers to participate in commercial systems that join adapted Afrikaner germplasm, used in a specialized maternal role, with exotic terminal sires to optimize production. The objective of this study was to assess productivity of five simulated production systems: 1) straightbred Afrikaner mated naturally, 2) a straight-bred Afrikaner cow herd with two sections;one section to produce replacement females and the other to cross with Charolais terminal sires, both using natural mating, 3) similar to 2, but applying sexed semen to produce replacement females, 4) similar to 2, but using a multi-breed composite dam line with a breed combination of 50% Afrikaner, 25% Hereford and 25% Simmental, and 5) similar to 4, but again applying sexed semen to produce replacement females. Parameter estimates needed to compare these systems were extracted from the scientific literature. Relative to straightbred Afrikaner dams, the simulated composite dams were more fit producing 7.8% more calves and their progeny performance was improved by reducing feed intake (-24.4%) and increasing meat production (+11.7%). The potential benefit of allocating more cows to the terminal sire was insufficient to offset the reduction in pregnancy rate that results with the use of sexed semen. Thus, system 4 had the greatest productivity (+23.1%) while requiring 22.8% less feed for finishing the progeny to be harvested relative to the purebred Afrikaner system. The combination of increased productivity and reduced feed requirement made use of a Charolais terminal sire in conjunction with multi-breed composite females bred by natural ser
