利用Mo-U等多指标判别黑色岩系中硅质岩形成氧化-还原环境的可行性分析及意义

硅质岩作为一种重要的沉积岩类型,是研究前新生代古海洋环境的重要手段,但其缺乏在氧化-还原环境方面的应用。同时硅质岩是黑色岩系的重要组成部分,拓展硅质岩在该方面的应用研究,有利于加深对黑色岩系形成机理的认识。本文综述了硅质岩的现有研究方法、黑色岩系中黑色页岩和硅质岩研究的局限性和互补性,并论述了将Mo-U等氧化-还原敏感金属多指标判别方法应用于硅质岩,用来判断氧化-还原环境和盆地局限性等方面的理论可行性。在分析扬子地块及其周缘黑色岩系及硅质岩研究现状的基础上,认为将在黑色页岩使用成熟的氧化-还原环境研究方法应用于互层的(热水沉积)硅质岩,理论上具有可行性,并在扬子地块西北缘若尔盖地区奥陶-志留纪黑色岩系中互层的黑色页岩和热水沉积硅质岩岩性组合中得到进一步验证。该方法的应用可深化对扬子地块西北缘黑色岩系沉积环境特殊性及其中U-Au-Ni-Mo-V多金属矿源层的认识。     

Retail enterprise across American regions: the role of black population size in the late nineteenth-century United States

Building on the idea that small-scale entrepreneurship often takes place in peripheral regions, the present study examines retail enterprise in the late nineteenth-century U.S., focusing on ethnic group differences across the North, South, and West. Applying theories of middleman minorities and internal colonialism, the study proposes that European immigrants and native whites had their highest retail enterprise levels in the South, where large, oppressed black populations were compelled to patronize non-black merchants, owing to a dearth of black retail proprietors. Multiple regression analyses of Census data support this proposition, calling attention to the importance of black population size as a heretofore neglected factor in regional variation in retail enterprise among European immigrants and native whites in late nineteenth-century America.     

The formation of island ecosystems

Island ecosystems are formed from the same generic building blocks as continental ecosystems. These can be reduced to five: (1) the terrestrial habitat (soil-parent material and topography), (2) the regional and local climate, (3) the regional biota with differential restrictions of accessibility, (4) the ecological roles assumed by the species including their potential for adaptation, and (5) the overriding dimensions of space and time. Unique to island ecosystems are various limitations that can lead to a peculiar ecology. These do not relate to the first two abiotic components mentioned above, but to the biotic components (3) and (4) and their interaction with space and time. Accessibility of species to the island habitat is a primary limitation that prevents many species of the regional biota from becoming established. This in turn results in further restrictions in the ecological types of species coming together. Limited space puts restrictions on population sizes, and time, together with isolation, is setting limits on the evolution of diversity. The paper gives examples by comparing vegetation processes in the Krakatau islands with those in Hawaii.     

Oyster Predation by Black Drum Varies Spatially and Seasonally

Oyster reefs (Crassostrea virginica) supply important ecosystem services to estuarine habitats in the northern Gulf of Mexico, but little is known of the role of fish predators in controlling their structure or areal cover on soft sediments. At two sites and during fall and spring, we employed gill nets and trot lines to remove black drum (Pogonias cromis) from experimental reefs, and assessed oyster survival in comparison to control reefs. Numbers and biomass of black drum removed from reefs varied seasonally, among sites, and among removal methods. In the fall, black drum were rare at one site and abundant at the other, but did not significantly lower oyster survival on control reefs at either site. In the spring, black drum were common at both sites, and significantly lowered oyster survival on control reefs. Oysters and epizoic hooked mussels comprised roughly a third of the fishes’ diet, and oyster mortality was closely related to the percentage of drum feeding on oysters. There was little evidence of mortality from other predators of seed oysters like stone crabs or Southern oyster drills, and a repeated measures analysis of variance indicated black drum biomass was significantly depressed on experimental reefs during the experiments. Black drum thus appear to be potentially important predators on oyster reefs, but more work needs to be done on what factors explain the temporal and spatial variation in their abundance and oyster consumption.     

Black dimensional stones: geology, technical properties and deposit characterization of the dolerites from Uruguay

Dimensional stones with a black color occupy a prominent place on the international market. Uruguayan dolerite dikes of andesitic and andesitic–basaltic composition are mined for commercial blocks of black dimensional stones. A total of 16 dikes of both compositions were studied and samples collected for geochemical and petrographical analysis. Color measurements were performed on different black dimensional stones in order to compare them with the Uruguayan dolerites. Samples of the two commercial varieties (Absolute Black and Moderate Black) were obtained for petrophysical analysis (e.g. density, porosity, uniaxial compressive strength, tensile strength, etc.). Detailed structural analyses were performed in several quarries. Geochemistry and petrography determines the intensity of the black color. The Uruguayan dolerite Absolute Black is the darkest black dimensional stone analyzed in this study. The petrophysical properties of Uruguayan dolerites make them one of the highest quality black dimensional stones. Structural analyses show that five joint sets have been recognized: two sub-vertical joints, one horizontal and two diagonal. These joint sets are one of the most important factors that control the deposits, since they control the block size distribution and the amount of waste material.     

不同自然环境和城市功能区的土壤黑碳特征及来源研究综述

黑碳是由生物质和化石燃料等燃烧产生的一系列含碳物质,长期广泛分布于土壤、大气等多种载体中,且表现出不同的环境效应。土壤作为一种不可再生的自然资源,是人类生存与发展不可缺少的物质基础,也是支撑城市发展的空间和生态基础。土壤中的黑碳构成土壤有机碳库的重要组分,且影响着土壤肥力、结构、有机污染物等多方面。目前,对黑碳的研究集中在其对环境的影响,我国在这方面的研究开始较晚,特别是对土壤中黑碳的研究还处于起步阶段。本文详细分析了土壤黑碳的可能来源（自然火灾、人类农业活动、化石燃料燃烧以及汽车尾气排放等）,概括了常见的土壤黑碳来源辨析方法（黑碳形态特征分析、黑碳/有机碳比值分析、黑碳碳同位素分析）,总结了国内外对不同自然环境、不同城市功能区的土壤黑碳研究现状。最后,提出了全球黑碳研究亟待关注和解决的关键问题,以期为将来合理制定控制黑碳排放的相关政策,减缓黑碳对环境质量和人体健康的影响,提供重要的理论依据。     

Supermassive black holes in interacting galaxies

The possible influence of galactic interaction on the formation and growth of supermassive black holes in their nuclei and the dynamics of their circumnuclear regions are considered, based on new data from the updated Vorontsov-Velyaminov catalog of interacting galaxies and modern estimates of the masses of supermassive black holes. A sample of interacting galaxies with known black-hole masses is created, and the dependence of the masses of the central black holes on the absolute B magnitudes and central stellar velocity dispersions in the host galaxy derived for this sample. A statistical analysis of the sample shows that the black-hole masses in interacting galaxies satisfy the same mass-velocity dispersion relation as non-interacting galaxies. A higher mass dispersion is characteristic of merging pairs than for galaxies that interact in other ways. The maximum masses of the central black holes are observed in radio galaxies.     

The mass spectrum of black holes in close binary systems

We present the results of population syntheses obtained using our “scenario machine.” The mass spectra of black holes in X-ray binary systems before and after the stage of accretion from an optical companion are obtained for various evolutionary scenarios. The results of the model computations are compared to observational data. The observational data are used to estimate the fraction of a presupernova’s mass that collapses into a black hole. This model can explain the formation of low-mass (2–4M_⊙) black holes in binary systems with optical companions. We show that the number of low-mass black holes in the Galaxy is sufficiently high for them to be detected. The population-synthesis results suggest that the vast majority of low-mass black holes are formed via the accretion-induced collapse of neutron stars. The percentage of low-mass black holes in binary systems that form due to accretion-induced collapse is 2–15% of the total number of black holes in binaries, depending on the evolutionary scenario.

黑色页岩的资源功能和环境效应

利用ICP—MS等分析技术对典型黑色页岩的微量元素及P、S等组分进行了分析,探讨了黑色页岩的化学特征、风化机制和微量元素富集特征,阐明了黑色页岩的资源功能和环境效应。结果表明,黑色页岩不但富含多种矿产资源,产有大型、超大型多金属矿床,而且可用作复合化肥以改良土壤。同时,黑色页岩因风化分解释放CO2、产生酸性矿排水、释出重金属元素等而可能对环境产生严重影响,引起环境问题。开发利用黑色页岩不但要充分认识其资源功能特征,拓宽其应用途径,而且要特别注意其可能引发的环境问题。     

“Into the hands of negroes”: Reproducing plantation geographies in the South Carolina Lowcountry

This article examines the post-emancipation contests over agricultural land in the South Carolina Lowcountry – the coastal region surrounding the port city of Charleston – in the context of recent theorizations of plantation geographies and the racial politics of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). In the aftermath of slavery, freedpeople in the Lowcountry were remarkably successful in securing control over their labor and access to land. The measure of relative autonomy that came with these gains spurred enormous anxiety for white elites, however, who realized that black control over land and labor threatened to upend the region’s racial hierarchy. I argue that plantation geographies persist through the white monopolization of land, and suggest that successfully challenging this historical trajectory depends on challenging liberal modes of improvement.     

扬子地台早寒武世古盘虫类的地层分布及其古地理控制?

早寒武世早期的黑色页岩系在扬子地台非常发育，但由于具有时代标志的化石稀少，这套黑色页岩系的层序问题一直未能很好解决。古盘虫类化石是早寒武世黑色页岩系中仅有的具有地层意义的化石类别,然而它们的分类混乱、层位不清，限制了其在地层对比中的应用。在古盘虫类分类重新厘定的基础上，通过对Tsunyidiscus 的4个种和Hupeidiscus orientalis地层分布的系统总结，认为T.aclis和T. armatus的层位限于筇竹寺早期，T. niutitangensis和T. tingi的层位主要是筇竹寺晚期，只有T. tingi延伸至沧浪铺早期。而H. orientalis在筇竹寺晚期开始出现，到沧浪铺早期繁盛。因此它们的层位分布特征可以用于地层学对比。通过对华南地区古盘虫类古地理分布和沉积相与环境分析，我们认为古盘虫类的分布受海平面升降、海水浑浊度、水深、含氧性等古海洋环境因素的控制： T. armats和T. aclis分布于近滨-远滨及外陆架上，适应水体平静，水动力能量较低，低沉积速率的相对较深的海域; T. tingi和T. niutitangensis在开阔的外陆架区域大量繁盛，T. niutitangensis生存在具有分层结构海洋的贫氧带和富氧带，海水较深，水体平静； 而H. orientalis在陆架边缘灰岩相中大量出现，适应于海水较深，水动力能量较低，浮游微生物丰富的洁净海水; 此外在粗碎屑岩、高碳质页岩、石煤发育的地层中无古盘虫类分布, 表明古盘虫类不适合海水动荡而混浊，沉积速率高的浅水高能环境和深水滞流缺氧的环境。     

聚敛型板块边缘岩浆作用及其相关沉积盆地

概括性地介绍了聚敛型板块边缘大地构造环境中的岩浆活动及其所形成的火成岩岩石构造组合类型,并以此为线索,将板块构造、岩石圈运动与沉积盆地的形成有机地结合起来,简要地分析和介绍了聚敛型板块边缘的主要沉积盆地类型及其沉降机理。指出盆地形成是板块构造、岩石圈运动在地壳浅部的一种表现形式,岩石圈板块运动直接受深部作用过程的制约,火山喷发或侵入是上地幔、深部地壳对流在地表或浅部地壳的表现。因此,对火成岩岩石组合或系列的研究,将为沉积盆地的形成与演化提出重要的深部动力学约束。     

Effects of iron black varnish on petrophysical properties of building sandstone

In zones washed by rain (façades, pinnacles, pilasters), fine siliceous sandstones are covered by a black varnish, which gives a dirty appearance to monuments. In composition, structure and areas covered by it, it differs from the usual black gypsum crust. Experiments carried out on blocks covered by black varnish show the modifications due to their growth. Results show that despite their low thickness and the coherence of the stone below, the accumulation of hydrophobic matters and the wetting-drying cycles modify the transfer properties of sandstones several centimeters below the surface. Thus, although sandstones seem to be protected by the black varnish, in the long run, a flake detachment process, in the areas covered by it, affects them. Therefore, damage to sandstones by black varnish can be explained by the fact that a wetting and drying cycle modifies the pore network.     

Possible origins of the diversity of types of Active Galactic Nuclei

The observed variety of types of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in galaxies with various masses and morphologies is considered. It is proposed that this diversity is related to the evolutionary development of their host galaxies and central regions, including their bulges, massive black holes, and accretion disks. A possible evolutionary scenario explaining the relationship between various types of AGN is proposed, in which, in addition to differences in the accretion states of the circumnuclear disks, the type of host galaxy is also taken into consideration. Special attention is given to the qualitative similarity of the accretion and radiative processes occurring in active objects with stellar-mass black holes (microquasars) and in AGN, in spite of the huge differences in the masses of their black holes. Studies of variability of the emission of microquasars taking this similarity into account can be used to make predictions about the behavior of the emission of AGN (with scaling in accordance with the black-hole mass).

中国北方中新生代盆地深部砂岩铀矿成矿条件与找矿方向

受开采技术、成本和成矿理论制约,现有的砂岩型铀矿勘查主要选择在盆地边缘700m以浅的地区,对盆地深部的铀矿找矿潜力研究较少。总结中国北方重要中新生代盆地的含铀岩系、构造特征,结合近年开展的北方砂岩型铀矿深部找矿,分析了盆地深部成矿有利的沉积建造、构造与流体改造、还原条件等,指明了盆地的深部找矿潜力。同时指出,作为战略储备,当前盆地深部寻找砂岩型铀矿要优先重视2个方向:(1)在盆地边缘斜坡区,重点以发育红-黑岩系结构的含铀地层为目标,寻找与浅部成矿条件相似的深部矿床;(2)在盆地中心区,以含铀的红色岩系为重点,优先寻找延伸至盆地深部的正向构造区和砂体发育区。这些认识在松辽盆地的铀矿调查中得到验证。     

Benthic foraminiferal assemblages of late Aptian-early Albian black shale intervals in the Vocontian Basin, SE France

Benthic foraminiferal assemblages were analyzed from three black shale intervals in the upper Aptain to lower Albian of the Vocontian Basin, SE France based on Q-mode principal component analyses. Variations in the distribution patterns of benthic foraminifera around these events suggest differences in the origin of the black shales. Differences between faunas of bioturbated marly and laminated black shale facies have been observed in the Niveau Paquier, Oceanic Anoxic Event (OAE) 1b and Niveau Leenhardt. Here, the faunal composition and plankton/benthos ratios suggest eutrophic conditions during the deposition of organic-rich sediments leading to black shales. No major variations have been observed in black shales of the upper Aptain Niveau Jacob. Benthic assemblages and low plankton/benthos ratios indicate mesotrophic conditions. Third order sea-level changes are believed to control mainly the origin of the investigated black shale levels.     

Drainage and flooding in karst terranes

Flooding in karst terranes is a commonly occurring geo-hazard. It causes damage to property, businesses, and roadways. It can lead to the formation of cover-collapse sinkholes and groundwater contamination. Generally, three types of flooding or their combinations are related to karst: recharge-related sinkhole flooding, flow-related flooding, and discharge-related flooding. Understanding of the type of flooding is essential for solving the flooding problem. Areas prone to karst flooding should be recognized, and restrictions and laws on land use should be implemented. Runoff and erosion control plans should address the unique characteristics of karst features. Digging out clogged sinkholes, creating retention basins, or installing Class V Injection Wells are possible solutions to improve drainage of storm water. Solutions to flooding problems in karst areas should also be coordinated with the water quality control to prevent groundwater contamination.     

石鼓-黎明地区变沉积岩系的深熔时代和物源

以出露于石鼓-黎明地区的黑云母石英片岩及其深熔脉体为重点研究对象,对其中的锆石进行了阴极发光图像分析、SHRIMP和LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年代学研究。阴极发光图像显示,黑云母石英片岩中大部分锆石保留清晰的振荡环带;深熔脉体中大部分锆石具有核-边结构,核部保留清晰的振荡环带或呈灰色无分带结构,边部较窄呈黑色。对黑云母石英片岩及其深熔脉体中锆石核部进行定年,得到年龄范围为2 637～743 Ma,具有858～852 Ma的主要年龄峰值,表明其主要物质来源为扬子板块西缘新元古代岩浆岩,同时也有太古代-古元古代基底岩石的加入,沉积时代应晚于852 Ma。深熔脉体锆石边部的Th/U值较小(0. 1),得到206Pb/238U年龄变化于225～197 Ma之间,可能代表了变沉积岩的变质-深熔时代,该年龄与金沙江-点苍山-哀牢山变质带二叠纪-三叠纪变质事件的时代相一致。
