A total of 10 healthy conventional piglets were randomly and equally assigned to two groups of 5 piglets each. Piglets in group 1 were vaccinated by intramuscular injection with 106.05 50% tissue culture infective doses (TCID50) of the Chimeric PCV1-2 live virus. Piglets in group 2 were not vaccinated and served as controls. By 28 days post-vaccination (DPV), all piglets had seroconverted to PCV2 ORF2 antibody. At 28 DPV, all piglets were challenged orally and intranasally with 5?106.25 TCID50 wild pathogenic PCV2 viruses. All vaccinated piglets remained clinically healthy after challenge, while unvaccinated animals developed clinical signs relative to PCV2 diseases. The PCV2 DNA loads in sera and lymphoid tissues were significantly (P<0.05) reduced in vaccinated piglets. Moderate-to severe lymphoid depletion and histiocytic replacement were detected in most lymphoid tissues of unvaccinated piglets but none in vaccinated piglets. These data indicated that the Chimeric PCV1-2 induced protective immunity against PCV2 infection and could potentially serve as an attenuated PCV2 vaccine candidate.

  Studies on the Elimination of Mequindox in Cyprinus carpio 2012, 28 (29):  137-141.  Abstract + ( 844 )   PDF ( 630401KB )   ( 856 ) In this article, elimination of mequindox residue in Cyprinus carpio muscle tissue was studied so as to provide basic data for the quality and security of aquatic products. The experiment was conducted at 15℃. After oral treatment at a single dose of 10 mg/kg, the fish was sampled at certain time and the concentrations of mequindox in muscle were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results showed that the concentration-time data of mequindox was analyzed with the pharmacokinetics software DAS 2.0. Rosenblueth method of non-compartment model was used to calculate the parameters of mequindox. The main pharmacokinetic parameters were as follows: the terminal elimination half-life (t1/2) was 0.17 h. The times of peak concentration (Tmax) was 0.50 h. The maximum concentration (Cmax) was 761.75 μg/L. The body clearance of the drug was 42.59 (L?h/kg). The mequindox concentration was below detection limits after 1.5 h. The drug concentration versus time curve showed an innormal double-peak phenomenon. The double-peak of concentration meant that there might be hepatoenteral circulation or stomach intestine circulation during the metabolism process. The results showed that the pharmacokinetic characteristics of the mequindox in Cyprinus carpio were as follows: fast absorption, wide distribution, rapid elimination and low drug residues.

Historical annual precipitation maxima was in 1974, the minimum in 2005, and the range of 359.9 mm. Rainy period in the late 1960s-late 1970s and 1990s, the dry period in the 1960s and the 2l century. More obvious changes in precipitation time scale variations, changed in cycle changes in small scale high frequency, while in a large scale was relatively low, respectively, 2-5 years and 10 years around the cycle performance significantly. 50 years annual precipitation in 1999 was a significant change in mutation point, by the rainy period to dry period.

  Evolution Characteristics of Drought at Different Time Scales in Hubei Province in the Past 50 Years 2012, 28 (29):  279-284.  Abstract + ( 837 )   PDF ( 1074444KB )   ( 644 ) Drought has significant impact on hydrological cycle, ecosystems, agricultural production and social life, thus requiring special attention. The characteristics of drought over a range of time scales were examined in Hubei Province in the past 50 years, using the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) as an indicator of drought severity. The results showed that the frequency, duration, intensity and spatial extent of drought at different time scales were notably different, while the evolution characteristics of drought from different years were similar. At the time scale of 6 months or longer, wet periods were recognized in the early 60s, early 70s, 80s and early 90s in the 20th century, while since the late 90s especially the 21st the frequency of wet periods has decreased and of dry periods increased significantly. At the seasonal timescale, there was a drying trend for spring and autumn and minor wetting trend for summer and winter, among which the drying trend in autumn was statistically significant at 0.05 levels of significance. At the time scale of 1 month, the SPEI was so unstable that no trend or periodical characteristic was found. Over all the time scales, drought intensity has experienced an increasing tendency over the past 50 years, with the most severe droughts occurring in the last 20 years; drought spatial extent has changed in accordance with the variation of dry periods, but with a more distinct increase of large scale extreme drought in the last 10 years than in the past 40 years.

  The Study of Meteorological Disaster Risk Assessment System of Northern Henan: Taking An Example of Huixian 2012, 28 (29):  285-291.  Abstract + ( 745 )   PDF ( 1626305KB )   ( 561 ) In order to establish a meteorological disaster risk evaluation index system, establish the meteorological disaster risk zoning map, the meteorological disaster risk zoning, in the Huixian, northern Henan 1961-2009, meteorological data and the 1961-2009 geological hazards data, the use of meteorological materials, methods and evaluation, from 4 areas of heavy rain, hail, high winds, and geological hazards, hazard analysis, and comprehensive consideration of the hazard, disaster, environmental hazard bearing body. The results showed that the mountainous area of northern Henan heavy rain, hail, the probability of geological disasters was greater than the plains, the opposite gale probability, the occurrence probability of the plains strong winds above the hills and mountains, which provided for local defense meteorological disasters, technological support and theoretical basis.

  Diagnostic Analysis of Snowstorm in Shanxi Province in November 28-29, 2011 2012, 28 (29):  292-298.  Abstract + ( 646 )   PDF ( 3602407KB )   ( 532 ) In order to research the circulation background and influence system which brought about the snowstorm process and the favorable configuration of physical space structure during the strong snowfall in Shanxi, so the snowstorm, which occurred on November 28-29, 2011, was analyzed from the 500 hPa circulation background, the altitude system disposition, the mutual configuration of middle-lower system influence, the evolution of the fy-2c satellite cloud picture, the spatial vertical section of physical quantity field (vertical velocity, divergence, relative humidity). The result showed that the storm weather was formed in the 500 hPa west wind trough, 700 hPa shear and 850 hPa easterly wind continued, 700 hPa shear was closely related with the evolution process of fy-2c cloud pictures, especially a phase change was consistent, they were the directly affect system of snowstorm. The strong rise movement, deep wet layer and the smooth allocation of upper radiation and lower convergence formed the snowstorm favorable conditions. This research of snowstorm weather process would give an instructive reference information of snowstorm forecast in the future.

  Research for Integration of Remote Sensing Information and Rice Model on Rice Acreage and Estimate Production in Zhenjiang Yield 2012, 28 (29):  299-304.  Abstract + ( 1026 )   PDF ( 872735KB )   ( 893 ) This research using the combination of remote sensing information and crop model for the estimation of the rice acreage and production in Zhenjiang yield, to monitor rice growth in this area. Integrate remote sensing data and rice production model (ORYZA2000) to establish remote sensing numerical simulation model, to the point and the surface area of rice estimation. Using remote sensing data (8 days synthesis MODIS and HJ1A/1B) to calculate normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and enhanced vegetation index (EVI). Establishing the relationship of vegetation index and rice leaf area index (LAI) with the measured LAI in test area, and identify rice of Zhenjiang through temporal remote sensing data, it could be forecast within a certain region of rice cultivation and production. The research results showed that, the simulation biomass and LAI during the period of rice growth and development was on a high accuracy, and rice LAI was better fit with EVI. This correlation pattern could be applied to identify rice and improve the region-wide rice yield estimation accuracy, it also demonstrated, the combination of remote sensing information and crop model could monitor the growth of rice, and achieved a better estimation results.

  Empirical Study on Tourist Satisfaction and Post-purchase Behaviors in Service Context：Evidences from Leisure Farm Industry in Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan City Group 2012, 28 (29):  310-316.  Abstract + ( 855 )   PDF ( 658347KB )   ( 629 ) While the research on tourist satisfaction and its antecedents has been widely discussed, the topic of tourist post-behaviors is less concerned. Based on service performance and fairness theory, a conceptual model with 12 hypotheses explaining the relationship between customer satisfaction and post-purchase behaviors under leisure tourism contex were derived and subjected to empirical assessment. SPSS11.0 was used for reliability/validity testing and hypothese testing. Consistent with most of the previous researches, we concluded that while tourist satisfaction had positive effect on positive post-purchase behaviors, dissatisfaction had positive effect on negative post-behaviors. Furthermore, our research indicated the impacts of post-behaviors on tourist satisfaction. In theory, the results verified the effects between post-purchase behaviors and customer satisfaction on each other. In practice, this study highlighted the importance of customer relationship management and service recovery strategies in leisure tourism industry.
