The spatial-temporal variability of karst water chemistry is affected by lithological information, precipitation and agricultural activities. Based on the data of 10 hydro-chemical monitoring stations in Houzhai karst basin from 1989 to 2001, the spatial-temporal variability of karst water chemistry and the relationships between karst water chemistry dynamic and their main control factors were interpreted and analyzed by using the integrating methods of the stochastic theory and geostatistics. The results indicate that the karst water chemistry dynamic of Houzhai karst basin show obvious spatial-temporal distribution characteristics. The temporal variations of main ions are closely related to precipitation. The main ions vary regularly in space because of lithological and karst morphology, but the spatial variations of K+, Na+ are controlled by agricultural activities.
Soilbags have been understood to have the effect of vibration reduction and can be used as a kind of base isolation in building foundations. In this paper, a series of cyclic simple shear tests were carried out on soilbags filled with three kinds of soils under different vertical stresses to investigate the damping and stiffness characters of the soilbags. The results show that soilbags have a relatively high damping ratio and variable horizontal stiffness so that they can be used as base isolation materials.
Yam glycoprotein (YGP) is an important source of bioactives for functional foods. To investigate the effects of alkaline extracting method on the features of YGP, A glycoprotein was isolated from yam tubers by using alkaline processing method, and purified by ion-exchange and gel filtration column chromatography. During the SDS-PAGE eletrophoresis, the result shows a band with approximately 30 kDa molecular weight. The YGP consists of protein moiety (62.34%) and carbohydrate moiety (37.51%), respectively. By the automatic amino acid analyzer detecting, it indicated that the YGP consists of 17 kinds of amino acids and contains a high percentage of glutamic acid and aspartic acid. The results of thin-layer chromatography show that oligosaccharides of the YGP contain D-glucose, D-galactose and mannose.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
