    To exploit highly bioactive natural antifungal medicaments from starfish, water-soluble starfish glycosides from Asterias rollestoni were isolated and purified by macroporous resin column and silica gel column chromatography, and their antifungal bioactivities were also examined. Among the macroporous resin fractions of 30％, 50％, 70％, 80％ and 95％ ethanol, 70％ ethanol eluted fractions showed the highest antifungal activity towards Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Candida albicans. After being checked by thin layer chromatography, purified SF-1, SF-2, SF-3 and SF-4 fractions were obtained from 70％ ethanol eluted fractions with a silica gel column. Among the purified fractions, SF-3 and SF-4 showed much higher antifungal activities, while SF-1 did not show any antifungal activities and SF-2 had only very lower antifungal activities. SF-3 exhibited a single peak after loaded onto a high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) column, which indicated that SF-3 was pure enough to be used as a candidate of antifungal medicament development. This research will lay a solid foundation for the development and application of natural and highly bioactive antifungal medicaments.

    Thermophilic archaea Sulfolobus tokodaii was recognized as a species of the genus Sulfolobus, which belongs to Crenarchaea of Archaea. Orotate phosphoribosyl transferase and orotidine monophosphate decarboxylase, expressed by a uracil-related gene in the wild type of Sulfolobus tokodaii, could transform 5-fluoroorotic acid (5-FOA) to the toxic substance 5-fluorouridine monophosphate. Therefore, the wild-type strain could not grow normally. The selective condition was optimized based on this theory, such as the effective concentration of 5-FOA and the time of UV irradiation, and several uracil auxotrophs mutants of S.tokodaii were primarily obtained by spontaneous change or UV mutagenesis.

    The embryo-derived calli from Lolium multiflorum Lam were transformed with Agrobactrium tumefaciens AGL1 harboring intron-DREB1A expression vector pBI121 containing ubiqutin promoter, nptⅡ marker gene and GUS gene. After infection and co-culture with AGL1, the embyogenic calli were selected with 50mg／L paromomycine and plants regenerated from the resistant calli. All plants were selected further with 25mg／L kanamycin, some of which remained green. The genome DNA of the resistant plants was checked with specific primers and probes from the DREB1A gene. The results of PCR and PCR-Southern blot assay indicated that the DREB1A gene was transferred into Lolium multiflorum Lam with a transformation frequency of 2.14％. It was found that the transformation efficiency can be efficiently improved using the following transformation conditions: Agrobacterium cell density of OD600≈2.0, incubation for 1 hour, coculture at 21℃ for 2 days and application of As in coculture.

    Effects of organic solvents, temperature, n-alcohols and inorganic salt on the formation of the liquid crystal phase were investigated to discuss the formation law of the liquid crystal system loading chlorphyrifos. The results showed that the substituent in the phenyl ring was advantageous to the formation and maintenance of the liquid crystal phase. A high temperature could cause the system water content to rise when the liquid crystalline phase formed and vanished. With an increase of the chain length of n-alcohols, the minimum water content for the liquid crystal formation slowly increased. When the liquid crystal phase vanished, the maximum water content first rose and then dropped. It was found that, by adding inorganic salt, the maximum water content needed for the disappearance of the liquid crystal phase decreased with hydrated radius of positive ions decreasing, which showed that the liquid crystal structure was unstable.

    Yttrium was selected as a promoter for the Ti／Sb2O5-SnO2 electrode to enhance its electro-catalytic characteristics and Y doped Ti／Sb2O5-SnO2 electrodes were prepared by the immersion method. Degeneracy of the prepared electrodes was investigated using reactive brilliant red X-3B as a model pollutant. The parameters of preparing the electrode, including temperature and Y doping content, were studied in detail. The optimal pyrolytic temperature was 550℃, and Y doping content was 0.8％. The micrograph of the electrode surface, the element composition of different layers and the structure of the electrode were analyzed by SEM, EDS and XRD. Compared with the Ti／Sb2O5-SnO2 electrode, the average size of SnO2 grains on the electrode surface of the Y doped Ti／Sb2O5-SnO2 electrode was smaller, which implies a potential improvement in catalytic performance. Sb and Y were found to be enriched in the coated layer on the electrode surface when Y was introduced. The surface of the Y doped Ti／Sb2O5-SnO2 electrode was mainly composed of tetragonal rutile structure SnO2 crystal. The potential sweep results indicate that the Y doped Ti／Sb2O5-SnO2 electrode has high oxygen evolution potential which is in favor of electrochemical oxidation for organic pollutants.

    The level of urbanization of Shandong Province has been growing at the speed of 1.0%～1.5% per year since the year 1995 and it reached 46.1％ in the year 2006. However the urbanization process at such a rapid speed made the water crisis more serious. First, the level of urbanization in the near future was predicted by use of the United Nations method and liner analysis method, so the urban population in the province was determined. Then according to the different kinds of water use, the water requirement for city-living, industry and ecology was forecasted using the scenario analysis and model prediction. Finally, some suggestions were given for sustainable water use and protection in Shandong Province.

    Two cationic polymer-epicholorohydrin-dimethylamine(EPI-DMA) and poly dimethyldiallylammonium (PDMDAAC) as intercalary reagents were respectively used to prepare a series of cationic polymer／bentonites. The adsorption of phenol on cationic polymer／bentonite and major effect factors were studied. The results showed that the adsorption ability of bentonite for phenol was improved greatly after modification. The pH of the solution, temperature, time of reaction and salt concentration have influences on the adsorption. The adsorption equilibrium time of PDMDAAC／bentonite and EPI-DMA／bentonite is respectively 20min and 60min. The adsorption ability decreases at higher temperature. When pH<pKa, the adsorption effect is much better. The adsorption isotherm of phenol on both cationic polymer／bentonites fits to the Freundlich equation.

    The midpoint diagram of trajectory in billiard systems was given. After research on several kinds of billiards, it was discovered that the midpoint diagram of several discrete points corresponds to the periodic behavior of the billiard system, the midpoint diagram of lines corresponds to quasi-periodic behavior, and the midpoint diagram of large numbers of scattered points corresponds to chaotic behavior. This indicated that the midpoint diagram can simply and efficaciously describe the dynamical behavior of the billiard system.

    A least-squares mixed finite element procedure with the method of characteristics for convection-dominated Sobolev equations was presented. By properly selecting the least-squares functional, the procedure can be split into two independent sub-procedures. The solution u and the flux σ can be obtained directly. Moreover, this method permits the use of large steps. The convergence analysis shows that the method yields the approximate solutions with optimal accuracy in L2(Ω) and H1(Ω) norms for u and H(div;Ω) norm for the flux σ.

    Zhao presented a wide-neighborhood predictor-corrector algorithm for linear programming via the least values of proximity measure functions, and he also proved the algorithm has the polynomial iteration complexity. Zhao′s algorithm was extended to convex quadratic programming and a new wide-neighborhood predictor-corrector algorithm was presented based on the minimums of proximity measure functions.　Since the new search direction Δx and Δs are no longer orthogonal, the convergence analysis is different from that of the linear programming. The new algorithm has been proved to retain the sofar best known iteration complexity of Onln(x0)Ts0ε iterations. Moreover, a rough numerical experiment shows the feasibility and efficiency of this new algorithm.

    Numerical methods for solving large inverse Toeplitz eigenvalue problems were studied. The inexact Newton method for solving large inverse Toeplitz eigenvalue problem was given by using iterative methods(inner iterations) for solving these systems approximately. This method can avoid the oversolving problems of Newton methods and hence improve the efficiency. The numerical results show that the inexact Newton method is better than the Newton method.
