洋中脊热液铁铜矿床的地球化学特征

北祁连山地区洋中脊热液铁铜矿床是局部地幔固化周期形成的.从区域到矿床形成了与一般热液矿床差异较大的地球化学异常.主要研究了北祁连山铁铜矿矿集区、矿田和矿床的地球化学异常,揭示了元素的空间分带规律.为进一步探讨北祁连山的洋中脊热液矿床的成矿规律提供了区域地球化学和矿床地球化学证据.     

灾害的评估与管理

本文根据灾害威胁的范围不同,提出了自然灾害与技术灾害在不同的社会时期和不同性质的国家的分布与造成的影响不同的观点,进而从灾害研究的历史中分析自然灾害与技术灾害的内在联系以及人们对灾害研究的观念与方法的历史变革。在上述基础上,重点阐述了灾害评估的基本概念、灾害评估的内容和程序以及灾害管理的过程与方法。     

A High-Eccentricity Low-Mass Companion to HD 89744

We present deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging, as well as ground-based imaging and spectroscopy, of the optical afterglow associated with the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 990712 and its host galaxy. The data were obtained 48-123 days after the burst occurred. The magnitudes of the host (R=21.9, V=22.5) and optical afterglow (R=25.4, V=25.8, 47.7 days after the burst) favor a scenario in which the optical light follows a pure power-law decay with an index of alpha approximately -1.0. We find no evidence for a contribution from a supernova like SN 1998bw. This suggests that either there are multiple classes of long-duration gamma-ray bursts or that the peak luminosity of the supernova was more than 1.5 mag fainter than SN 1998bw. The HST images and EFOSC2 spectra indicate that the gamma-ray burst was located in a bright, extended feature (possibly a star-forming region) 1.4 kpc from the nucleus of a 0.2L*B galaxy at z=0.434, possibly a Seyfert 2 galaxy. The late-time afterglow and host galaxy of GRB 990712 bear some resemblance to those of GRB 970508.     

Persistent organic pollutants and stable isotopes in biopsy samples (2004/2006) from Southern Resident killer whales

“Southern Resident” killer whales include three “pods” (J, K and L) that reside primarily in Puget Sound/Georgia Basin during the spring, summer and fall. This population was listed as “endangered” in the US and Canada following a 20% decline between 1996 and 2001. The current study, using blubber/epidermis biopsy samples, contributes contemporary information about potential factors (i.e., levels of pollutants or changes in diet) that could adversely affect Southern Residents. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes indicated J- and L-pod consumed prey from similar trophic levels in 2004/2006 and also showed no evidence for a large shift in the trophic level of prey consumed by L-pod between 1996 and 2004/2006. ∑PCBs decreased for Southern Residents biopsied in 2004/2006 compared to 1993–1995. Surprisingly, however, a three-year-old male whale (J39) had the highest concentrations of ∑PBDEs, ∑HCHs and HCB. POP ratio differences between J- and L-pod suggested that they occupy different ranges in winter.
