Formation and abundance of doubly-substituted methane isotopologues (CH3D) in natural gas systems

Formation of the Carbon-13 (¹³C) and deuterium (D) doubly-substituted methane isotopologues (¹³CH₃D) in natural gases is studied utilizing both first-principle quantum mechanism molecular calculation and direct FTIR laboratorial measurements of specifically synthesized high isotope concentration methane gas. For ¹³CH₃D, the symmetrically breathing mode A₀ emerges as IR-detectable attributed to the molecular symmetry lowering to C_3v from T_d of the non-isotopic methane (CH₄), along with a large vibrational frequency shift from ∼3000 to ∼2250 cm⁻¹. Our studies also indicate that the concentration of ¹³CH₃D is dependent on the environmental temperature through isotope exchanges among methane isotopologues; and the Gibbs’ Free Energy difference due to Quantum Mechanics Zero-Point vibrational motions has the major contribution to this temperature dependency. Potential geologic applications of the ¹³CH₃D measurement to natural gas exploration and assessments are also discussed. In order to detect the ¹³CH₃D concentration change of each 50 °C in the natural gas system, a 10⁻⁹ resolution is desirable. Such a measurement could provide important add-on information to distinguish natural gas origin and distribution.     

Identifying China’s leading world city: a network approach

This paper reports our research on China’s world cities. Formal network analysis of air passenger linkages for recent years among China’s most populous cities and among many of the world’s largest cities allows us to identify the country’s leading world city from among the leading Mainland candidates, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. We theorize our findings about China’s world cities in relation to both global forces (and China’s increasing entanglement with them) and the policies and actions of the national state. We examine the national and global urban network through a longitudinal, two-level analysis of airline passenger travel for four time points between about 1990 and 2005. We show that Beijing was China’s leading world city at the beginning of the time period, a status it lost nationally in as early as 1995, and then globally 10 years later. On the other hand Shanghai became China’s leading world city, and it acquired this status first nationally in 2000, and then globally in 2005. The changing status of the Chinese capital corresponds to the country’s increasing involvement with the capitalist world economy. Shanghai’s ascendance as the leading world city in China may indicate that global forces have come to play an increasingly important role relative to that of the developmental state.

Biogeochemical characteristics of the Hetai goldfield, Guangdong Province, China

In the Hetai goldfield, Guangdong Province, China, samples including rocks, soils and leaves of four plants (Pinus massoniana, Rhodomyrms tomenlosa, D. linearis var. dichotoma and Embelia laeta) collected from the gold mineralization zone and the background area were analyzed for Au, Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn, Hg, As and physiological parameters. The objective of this investigation is to study the geochemical and biogeochemical characteristics of studied plants, aiming at biogeochemical methods in Au exploration. The goldfield region shows geochemical and biogeochemical anomalies. Abundances of Au in rocks, soils, plants and the leaf pigments in the mineralized area are much higher than those in the surrounding region. The plants display unhealthy physiological and ecological characteristics in the Hetai goldfield area. The cell structures of the goldfield plants were anomalous and aberrant, and there were many nano-metal particles diffused in mitochondria and chloroplasts. Macro- and microscopic evidences of the vegetation in the goldfield areas are distinctly different from the background regions. The strongly anomalies in responses to Au are profound in further geochemical and botanic exploration studies.

中国对虾血细胞酶细胞化学的初步研究

运用电镜酶细胞化学技术 ,对中国对虾 (Penaeus chinensis)的血细胞和血清中的酚氧化酶、酸性磷酸酶、碱性磷酸酶和过氧化物酶的酶活性部位进行标记。实验结果显示 :酚氧化酶主要以酶原形式存在于大颗粒细胞的颗粒体中 ,酸性磷酸酶和碱性磷酸酶以酶原形式存在于小颗粒细胞的颗粒体中。健康虾和患病虾血细胞中酶活性的表现形式不尽相同 ,在病理情况下 ,颗粒细胞能以细胞解体的方式 ,排出细胞内的颗粒 ,转化成有活性的酶 ,以此提高血淋巴中这几种酶的活性。透明细胞可以吞噬排放颗粒后的颗粒细胞 ,透明细胞中由高尔基体合成的酸性磷酸酶等溶酶体酶主要用于透明细胞的细胞内消化作用。研究认为 :3种血细胞因含有不同的免疫酶以及酶的作用方式不同而具有不同的免疫功能

贻贝育苗中不同饵料的饲养效果比较

培育双壳类软体动物幼苗所需的饵料，是指池内培育阶段适合于幼虫和幼苗(壳长一般在1mm以下)的饵料。育苗成功的关键问题之一为是否已经选择到这样的饵料。自40年代找到适宜的饵料生物以后，双壳类幼虫的培养才取得较明显的成效。以往利用过的一些饵料生物巳有文献系统记载。我国贻贝人工育苗是在分离与培养出扁藻以后才获得成功的。随着研究工作的深入以及适应各种不同情况的需要，采用的饵料种类越来越多样化。从生产性育苗特别是多茬育苗考虑，必须因地制宜地筛选出一定种数的饵料，以便在不同培养条件下有机动选择的余地。同一时还应找出适宜的投饵数量，以求取得较好的育苗效果。为此目的，我们于1975-1978年结合生产性育苗的需要进行了一些饵料饲养实验。本文根据实验结果以及多年来生产性育苗的实践，对贻贝育苗的饵料问题进行总结，侧重于不同饵料的饲养效果比较。     

中国近海鹑螺科的研究

鹑螺科是中腹足目鹑螺总科中的一个小科,包括的种类不多,数量也不大,但是它的贝壳较大,又较有光泽,而且具有整齐的肋纹和色彩,所以是人们喜爱搜集的贝类之一。它们的肉均可食用,贝壳常同其他贝类的贝売和在一起烧制建筑用灰。这一科动物全部是暖水种,世界各暖海区都有分布,而以印度一西太平洋区的种类为最多,化石出现于第三纪。 本科动物的贝壳通常较薄,呈球形或卵圆形，螺旋部短,体螺层膨大,各层表面具有平滑的螺肋。壳口宽大,内面具沟纹,外唇薄或増厚形成一个具齿的环,水管沟宽短。成体不具厣。软体部分头大:前端膨大,触角长,呈圆柱状,眼位于其基部外侧的一个短柄上。吻极长,不能完全缩入壳内,呈管状,末端扩张形成蔷薇花状的唇部,伸展时长度可超过贝壳。水管长,伸展时可直立于贝売的背部。雄性交接器极长大,弯弓形,全长具沟,末端有一尖钩。为肉食性动物,常以海参等动物为食。 我国鹑螺科的种类过去金叔初和秉志、张玺、阎敦建等曾有零星记载,国外学者也有一些记载,但对各种的分布地点记载不详。我们根据中国科学院海洋研究所历年来采集保存的标本和全国海洋综合调查所采得的底栖动物标本进行了整理研究,共鉴定10种，其中1种仅在东海发现,4种为东海和南海共有,5种仅分布于南海;有一种,即黄口鹑螺在我国沿海尚系首次记录。
