一种改进的SAR影像边缘检测方法

由于SAR影像具有乘性相干斑噪声,某些对光学影像有较好检测性能的边缘检测算子,对于SAR影像并不适用,因此本文提出了一种将改进后的Ratio算子与Canny算子相组合的新方法。首先采用多种客观评价指标,得出经典方法中的Lee滤波能有效去除噪声,且最大限度保留了梯度信息,适用于边缘检测;然后对边缘检测具有恒虚警特性的Ratio算子进行改进,改进后的算子更利于影像归一化处理;最后利用改进后的Ratio算子与Canny算子组合成新方法。试验结果证明,组合后的新方法显著提高了边缘检测正确率和定位精度,改善了边缘连续性,具有一定的有效性和实用性。     

滇中姚安老街子板内富碱火山岩锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年代学及火山机构划分

滇中姚安老街子板内富碱火山-岩浆杂岩体属于哀牢山-金沙江富碱侵入岩带的一部分,因其富含Pb-Ag-Au多金属矿床和特殊大地构造位置被地质学家广泛关注。尽管前人在矿床学(金属赋存状态和物质来源)、岩石学、地球化学等方面展开大量的研究,但关于姚安富碱火山岩体火山机构和岩相学以及形成时代等却少有研究。本文对老街子火山-岩浆杂岩体进行详细的岩相学地质调查和剖面实测,划分出完整的次火山岩相(含集块正长斑岩)、火山-沉积相(凝灰质砾岩和砂岩)和火山喷发相火山机构,其中将火山喷发相细分为溢流亚相(熔结凝灰岩和假白榴石粗面岩)和爆发亚相(含角砾和集块粗面质熔结凝灰岩)。并对粗面质凝灰岩和熔结凝灰岩进行锆石SHRIMP U-Pb精确年代学研究,最终分别获得~(206)Pb/~(238)U年龄加权平均值为33.63±0.50Ma和33.27±0.38Ma,代表着火山岩喷发形成时代为渐新世。该期火山岩的报道为老街子Pb-Ag-Au矿区深部外围找矿预测提供新思路,也为青藏高原东南缘新生代岩石圈构造演化和地球动力学过程研究提供新的窗口。

Analysis of phospholipids in microalga Nitzschia closterium by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS

Precise structural identification of phospholipids in the microalga Nitzschia closterium has been established using ultra performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-quadrupole-time of flight-mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-Q-TOF-MS) for direct analysis of total lipid extracts. Mass spectrometry was performed in reflective time-of-flight using electron spraying ionization in negative mode. Phospholipid molecular species identification was based on the characteristic product ions and neutral loss yielded by different phospholipids under ESI-MS/MS mode. The molecular species were confirmed by the carboxylate anions produced by phospholipids in negative mode; the regiospecificity of the two acyl chains was determined from the ratio of sn-1 to sn-2 carboxylate anion abundances. As a result, 18 lipid molecular species were identified for the first time in this microalga, comprising seven phosphatidylcholines (PC), two phosphatidylethanolamines (PE), two phosphatidylinositols (PI), and seven phosphatidylglycerols (PG). Lipid standards of PC, PE, PI, and PG were added to the total lipids as internal standards for semiquantitative analysis, revealing concentrations of phospholipids in this species between 0.09 and 3.37 nmol/mg. This method can produce a full structural profile of intact phospholipid molecular species and can be used for study of the physiological and ecological functions of lipids by monitoring their individual changes over time.     

Rapid, sensitive detection of Vibrio anguillarum using loop-mediated isothermal amplification

Vibrio anguillarum is an important bacterial pathogen of aquatic organisms and a significant problem in aquatic farming. The rapid detection and identification of V. anguillarum, and other pathogens that infect marine organisms, is crucial to effective disease management. In this study, we developed a loop-mediated amplification (LAMP) assay to detect V. anguillarum in an hour in a single tube without the need for thermal cycling. Conserved regions of the metalloproteinase (empA) gene of V. anguillarum served as the targets for primer design. A fragment of the empA gene was amplified at 65°C in the presence of the primer mixture and Bst DNA polymerase. In the optimized LAMP assay, 6.7 pg of V. anguillarum DNA could be detected. Six strains of V. anguillarum and 17 strains of non-V. anguillarum bacteria were used in this study to evaluate the species specificity of the primers. The six V. anguillarum strains gave a positive result in the LAMP assay. This method was also validated in V. anguillarum-infected fish. This LAMP method is more sensitive than PCR in the detection of V. anguillarum and shows good species specificity. The LAMP assay is therefore an effective method for the quick detection of V. anguillarum both in the laboratory and in the field.     

Remote sensing of ecosystem services: An opportunity for spatially explicit assessment

Ecosystem service is an emerging concept that grows to be a hot research area in ecology. Spatially explicit ecosystem service values are important for ecosystem service management. However, it is difficult to quantify ecosystem services. Remote sensing provides images covering Earth surface, which by nature are spatially explicit. Thus, remote sensing can be useful for quantitative assessment of ecosystem services. This paper reviews spatially explicit ecosystem service studies conducted in ecology and remote sensing in order to find out how remote sensing can be used for ecosystem service assessment. Several important areas considered include land cover, biodiversity, and carbon, water and soil related ecosystem services. We found that remote sensing can be used for ecosystem service assessment in three different ways: direct monitoring, indirect monitoring, and combined use with ecosystem models. Some plant and water related ecosystem services can be directly monitored by remote sensing. Most commonly, remote sensing can provide surrogate information on plant and soil characteristics in an ecosystem. For ecosystem process related ecosystem services, remote sensing can help measure spatially explicit parameters. We conclude that acquiring good in-situ measurements and selecting appropriate remote sensor data in terms of resolution are critical for accurate assessment of ecosystem services.     

基于背景噪声的宁夏及邻区瑞利波层析成像

In this article,the vertical components of the continuous waveform data of 90 seismic stations in Ningxia and its adjacent regions recorded from January 2012 to December 2013 are used to obtain the Rayleigh surface wave group velocity dispersion images in the study area( 101°- 112°E,31°-42°N) according to the method of noise imaging,with period between 6s - 50s and resolution of 0.5°. The Yinchuan basin in the 6s - 26 s period obviously shows a low velocity anomaly,which is not uniform and has a tendency to gradually weaken; the Guanzhong Basin in 6 s-22s shows a strip of low velocity anomaly and demonstrates a transverse inhomogeneity,where velocity in the southeast is slightly faster than that in the northwest. In the 30s - 50s period it shows that in the Yinchuan graben basin and its southern area,there is a large low velocity anomaly area,which moves from northeast to southwest. It shows that between the main active tectonic zones,like mountains and basins,there are obvious geomorphologic boundaries. For example,the deep fault near Liupan Mountain is the dividing line between two large tectonic units of eastern and western of China. The inversion results have good correlation with the geological structure and the stratigraphic landform. The results are consistent with the results of artificial seismic section tomography across the basin. It provides an important basis for the dynamics of active tectonic zones and the mechanism of earthquake occurrence in this area.     

强震动作用下土体非线性动力特征研究发展与展望

浅地表覆盖土层动力特性对地震动影响显著,软厚土层会明显改变地震动强度及频谱特性。由于观测数据匮乏,强震动作用下土体非线性动力特征研究长期以来均以室内试验为主,但在实验室中难以可靠地模拟实际地震历程中土体承受的加载路径、边界条件、排水条件等复杂因素。近二十年来竖向台阵(至少包含一个地表测点和一个井下基岩测点)记录数据大量增加,为土体非线性动力学研究提供了新的基础数据与发展机遇,使基于现场观测的土体非线性动力特征实证研究成为可能。     

中国西北某煤化工区土壤中砷的人体健康风险及其安全阈值

本研究对中国西北某大型煤化工区的土壤样品进行采集。通过密闭消解后应用ICP CCT MS法对土壤样品中砷（As）含量进行测定,选取吸入土壤颗粒、皮肤接触、经口摄入3种主要的暴露途径,对煤化工区3个不同煤气化单元土壤中As的人体健康风险进行评价。结果表明,煤化工区土壤中As的单物质综合致癌风险为可接受水平的6~9倍,As的危害商则在可接受水平范围之内。煤化工区土壤中As的人体健康风险以经口摄入为主体暴露途径,该途径下致癌风险的贡献率占全部致癌风险的68.64%。在对各暴露途径致癌风险控制值计算的基础上选择致癌风险贡献率最高、控制值最低的经口摄入途径的控制值1.59 mg/kg作为该煤化工区土壤中As的参考安全阈值。结合中国煤化工行业发展特点、区域土壤中As的背景值水平、地区气候和地质特点等,考虑不同国家和地区As的人体健康风险可接受水平差异和可行性,才能综合确定特定煤化工区域土壤环境中As的安全阈值。     

An explanation of the large PGA value of 2013 Ms7.0 Lushan earthquake at 51BXD station through topographic analysis

In Ms7.0 Lushan earthquake, a large amount of strong ground motion recordings were collected. In this paper, we analyze the recordings carefully. The abnor- mality of ground motion recordings is identified through a log linear regression. In the station of 51BXD, the PGA value has exceeded 1 g, which is the biggest peak ground acceleration （PGA） value obtained from all recordings in this earthquake. The log linear relation shows the PGA value in this station is abnormally large. As this station is located on the footage of a hill, the topographic amplifi- cation factor is explored in order to explain this abnor- mality. Through 3D numerical modeling using spectral element method with transmitting boundary conditions, the amplification factor is quantized. In this station, the topo- graphic amplification is highly polarized in the direction of East-West which agrees with the empirical recordings. This research result suggests us in future directionality of topographic amplification should be considered in the aseismic design.
