The results showed that the LPS could enhance the phagocytosis activity, lysozyme activity, and bacteriolytic activity in L.japonicus, significantly (P〈0.05) at 1, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35 d after LPS-injection. The indexes of three parameters increased to the peak of value at 28th d post LPS-injection. Moreover, RT-PCR analysis suggested that LPS significantly up-regulated the expression of both IL-8 and hepcidin in several tissues. These data suggest that the LPS extracted from Glaciecola polaris strain ARK149 can induce innate immunity in L. japonicus.展开更多

An alternative method which does not require a dipperclock is also discussed. Ways of constructing dipperclocks which glow in the dark are presented. The accuracy of dipperclocks is examined, both theoretically and through field testing. A java program is provided for creating dipperclocks customized to a particular year-long time period and place to get improved accuracy. Basic astronomical definitions and justifications of the results are provided. We also discuss the use of dipperclocks to find longitude and latitude.展开更多
