Life's origin: the cosmic, planetary and biological processes

From elements formed in interstellar furnaces to humans peering back at the stars, the evolution of life has been a long, intricate and perhaps inevitable process. Life as we know it requires a planet orbiting a star at just the right distance so that water can exist in liquid form. It needs a rich supply of chemicals and energy sources. On Earth, the combination of chemistry and energy generated molecules that evolved ways of replicating themselves and of passing information from one generation to the next. Thus, the thread of life began. This chart traces the thread, maintained by DNA molecules for much of its history, as it weaves its way through the primitive oceans, gaining strength and diversity along the way. Organisms eventually moved onto the land, where advanced forms, including humans, ultimately arose. Finally, assisted by a technology of its own making, life has reached back out into space to understand its own origins, to expand into new realms, and to seek other living threads in the cosmos.     

Education as a determinant of fertility: a case study of Kullu Town

Using a sample of 885 females (1/2 of all married women of reproductive age), this study examines the role of education as a determinant of fertility among couples in Kullu town of Himachol Pradesh, India. Of the 885 respondents, only 149 were illiterate. The average family size was 2.88. Findings reveal that 1) the average family size was largest for illiterate respondents (3.57) and for illiterate males (3.76); 2) average family size declined consistently after the middle level of education to 1.29 for post graduate respondents and 2.33 for post graduate males; 3) a negative correlation exists between fertility and education of both husband and wife, with the wife's education having a stronger negative correlation with fertility; and 4) couples with an educational level of matriculation and above have a distinctly smaller family size than those less educated.     

The possible formation of a hydrogen coma around comets at large heliocentric distances

An observational test--the detection of a hydrogen coma around comets at large heliocentric distances--is proposed for determining whether comets were formed by the agglomeration of unaltered, ice-coated, interstellar grains. Laboratory experiments showed that amorphous water ice traps H2, D2, and Ne below 20 K and does not release them completely until the ice is heated to 150 K. Gas/ice ratios as high as 0.63 are obtainable. Thus, if the ice-coated interstellar grains were not heated above approximately 110 K, prior to their agglomeration into cometary nuclei, the inward propagating heat waves should release from the comets a continuous flux of molecular hydrogen. This flux would exceed that of water molecules at approximately 3 AU preperihelion and approximately 4 AU postperihelion.     

论国际奥陶—志留系的分界

<正> 有关地质历史时期中各大时代(如代与纪)的界线问题已经成为地质研究领域里的重大课题。地层与古生物学者采用多种手段(如化石分带、绝对年龄数值和磁性反向等)来确定系级界线的精确位置。自从国际地层委员会所属志留—泥盆纪界线工作组首先于1972年向第23届国际地质大会提交确定志留—泥盆纪分界的报告以来,其它多数系间的界线工作组亦在不同程度上大致如同他们的做法,来解决各自的界线问题。其方法是:先择     

加权核密度估计在洪水频率分析中的应用

本文引进加权核密度估计方法,研究洪水频率的分析计算;运用统计试验方法,同目前广泛认同的参数估计方法中线性矩法相比,结果表明:线性矩法及加权核密度估计法推求出的设计值的无偏性相当,但加权核密度估计方法的有效性较线性矩法好.最后还与普通的非参数密度函数估计方法对比,结果表明加权核密度估计方法推求出的设计值的无偏性及有效性都较好;尤其是有效性精度较高.因此,加权核密度估计是一种有应用和研究价值的方法.     

西藏普兰地区拉昂错蛇绿岩中辉绿岩的锆石SHRIMP U—Pb年龄及其地质意义

蛇绿岩中的辉绿岩岩墙是洋脊扩张的产物．其形成年龄代表了扩张事件的时间,也代表了蛇绿岩的形成时代？对雅鲁藏布江缝合带西段拉昂错蛇绿岩中的辉绿岩岩墙进行锆石SHRIMPU—Pb定年,得出加权平均年龄为120．2Ma±2．3Ma,代表辉绿岩的结晶年龄。结合已有的关于雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩的形成年龄（西段休古嘎布122．3Ma±2．4Ma,中段大竹卡126．0Ma±1．5Ma、吉定123．0Ma＋_1．8Ma,东段罗布莎162．9Ma±2．8Ma）的报道,表明拉昂错地区特提斯洋海底扩张的时代与体古嘎布地区一致．雅鲁藏布江西段与中段地区洋盆的形成时代一致,但晚于东段的发育时代。这意味着整个东提斯洋盆的发育时代存在东早西晚的特点。     

Total content and chemical speciation of arsenic in the polychaete Sabella spallanzanii

An unusual feature has been observed in polychaetes regarding their capacity to accumulate high levels of relatively toxic forms of arsenic in specific tissues. Basal levels of arsenic and distribution of its compounds were investigated in tissues of the Mediterranean polychaete Sabella spallanzanii. Particularly high concentrations were measured in the branchial crown (1036+/-136 microg/g d.w.) and chemical speciation revealed that the predominant form was the relatively toxic dimethylarsinate (DMA). These data suggest a potential role of As as anti-predatory strategy in polychaetes.     

长江入海沉积物的输送及其入海后的运移

前言 长江和黄河是世界著名的多沙河流，每年入海泥沙分别为5亿吨和11亿吨，分别占世界的第四位和第二位。千万年来由她们发育了广大的冲积平原，浩浩荡荡东流入海，形成东中国海大陆架沉积物的主要来源。研究长江和黄河沉积物搬运入海的沉积动力过程，不仅对东海大陆架的了解和开发有重要意义，也给陆上经济发展提供科学依据。     

黄河口水下底坡微地貌及其成因探讨

高分辨率的回声测深、旁侧声纳及浅地层剖面记录首次直观地揭示了黄河口水下底坡上发育有大量形态不同的微地貌类型。据其形态特征和规模的差异,将它们划分为平滑海底、凹坑与洼地、冲沟、残留岗丘及扰动复合海底等五种类型。这些微地貌分布在不同水深条件下的不同水下三角洲单元上,并存在着相互联系和相互转化。黄河口海域特殊的沉积环境和复杂的动力条件是导致水下底坡微地貌形成发育的主要机制。
