The influence of agriculture in the process of population integration and cultural interaction during the Eastern Zhou Period in central-south,Inner Mongolia: Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis of human bones from the Dabaoshan cemetery,Helingeer County

Central-south Inner Mongolia, China, is highly sensitive to the cultural interactions between sedentary agriculturalists and nomadic pastoralists during the Eastern Zhou Period (770–256 BC). The previous pattern of multiple cultures and diverse ethnic groups has been transformed to the increasingly dominated cultural system of Central Plain since the middle and late Warring States Period, when the states of Zhao and Qin have conquered the most parts of central-south Inner Mongolia. However, the variation of subsistence strategies during this historical process has never been evaluated. Particularly, as the typical representative of Central Plain cultures, the effect of intensive millet agriculture is still unknown in the process of population integration and culture interaction. Thus, to explore the shift of subsistence pattern, carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis of bone collagen from Dabaoshan site (410–180 BC) have been performed. The isotopic result indicates a large amount of C4-based animal protein consumed by Dabaoshan humans. According to the archaeological backgrounds, we propose the Dabaoshan persons intensively relied on the millet agriculture and developed the agro-pastoral economy, which hinted the comprehensive influences from Central plain civilizations in late Warring States Period. Further compared with other published isotopic data in the same region during different periods, we suggest the millet agriculture has played the positive role in the process of population integration and culture fusion in central-south Inner Mongolia during the Eastern Zhou Period.     

滇西北地区高山湖泊沃迪错近两百年来环境变化及枝角类群落响应

区域增温和大气氮沉降作用已成为高山湖泊面临的重要环境胁迫,已有高山湖泊生物群落响应的长期模式研究主要集中于藻类而缺乏更高营养级生物(如浮游动物)的系统调查。本研究选择滇西北地区深水型的高山湖泊沃迪错开展沉积物调查,通过多指标分析(总氮、总磷、叶绿素a、氮稳定同位素等)并结合区域气候重建记录,识别近两百年来该湖泊及流域环境的变化历史,进一步利用枝角类群落指标(物种组成、生物量等)定量评价了湖泊生物群落的响应模式与驱动因子。结果表明,湖泊营养水平(如总氮浓度)和初级生产力(叶绿素a浓度等)在过去近两百年总体呈上升趋势。相关分析显示,大气氮沉降和流域外源输入是影响总氮上升的主要因素,同时区域增温和营养盐富集促进了湖泊初级生产力的不断上升。自1960s以来区域升温明显,湖泊营养水平和叶绿素a浓度呈现加速上升的趋势。钻孔中枝角类群落以浮游属种(Daphnia longispina等)为优势种,在1900AD以前D.longispina相对丰度较为稳定(40.83%±8.02%),之后出现下降趋势且在1948—1965年间明显下降,之后再次明显上升并成为主要优势种。排序分析显示,气温、叶绿素a和总...

Superpenumbral chromospheric flare

We observed a C-class flare at the outer boundary of the superpenumbra of a sunspot. The flare was triggered by an emerging magnetic bipolar region that was obliquely oriented with respect to the superpenumbral fibrils. The flare started due to the low height magnetic reconnection of emerging magnetic flux with a superpenumbral field resulting in hot multi-temperature plasma flows in the inverse Evershed flow channel and its overlying atmosphere. Inverse Evershed flows in the chromosphere start from the superpenumbra towards the sunspot that end at the outer boundary of the penumbra. The hot plasma flow towards the sunspot in the inverse Evershed channels show about 10 km s~(-1) higher velocity in Hα wavelengths compared to the plasma emissions at various temperatures as seen in different AIA filters. Even though these velocities are about seven times higher than the typical inverse Evershed flow speeds, the flow is diminished at the outer boundary of the sunspot's penumbra. This suggests that the superpenumbral field lines that carry inverse Evershed flows are discontinued at the boundary where the penumbral field lines dive into the sun and these two sets of field lines are completely distinct. The discontinuity in the typical magnetic field and plasma properties at the adjoining of these two sets of field lines further leads to discontinuity in the characteristic magnetoacoustic and Alfv′en speeds, thereby stopping the plasma flows further on. The multi-temperature plasma in the inverse Evershed channels exhibits possible longitudinal oscillations initially during the onset of the flare, and later flows towards the sunspot. In the multi-temperature view, the different layers above the flare region have a mixture of supersonic as well as subsonic flows.     

渤海湾盆地形成与华北克拉通破坏

渤海湾盆地是一个中、新生代盆地,位于华北克拉通的东部地块上,是华北克拉通破坏的中心区域。渤海湾盆地的结构、构造记录了华北克拉通破坏的构造过程。文章综合10a来据三维地震资料揭示的渤海湾盆地构造,和20a来渤海湾盆地周边华北克拉通区域中、新生代构造和地球化学研究成果,系统提出华北克拉通破坏期间,渤海湾盆地深、浅部的构造机制分别为:中生代浅部构造机制是挤出构造成因,深部构造机制为局部有限的拆沉+底侵模式;新生代构造机制是北西向壳内伸展机制,与印度和欧亚板块碰撞激发的软流圈的东扩远程效应和太平洋俯冲带的跃迁式东撤的联合效应——区域性"西进东退"的深部机制有关。     

西安地裂缝地面沉降与防治对策

由于自然地质作用和人为活动影响,西安出现了严重的地裂缝和地面沉降灾害。地裂缝的形成分布与区 域地质构造息息相关,其总体北东向成带发育,平行等间距排列,表现出较强的线性展布规律和垂向位移、水平拉 张与水平扭动的三维变形特征。地裂缝有规律的展布活动,制约了人为诱发的地面沉降的发展,地面沉降只能在 被切割的多个条块体中发展。受地层结构、开采井群分布及开采强度等因素影响,在地裂缝两侧产生的差异沉降 又加剧了地裂缝的活动强度,使其危害大大增强,给城市建设和规划造成了巨大的损失和困难。进一步深入研究 城市地质灾害的形成机理,建立监测预警系统,加强城市规划,限制人类活动和采取工程防护措施等是行之有效的 防灾减灾对策。

Zebiak-Cane数值模式的可预报性分析

用Zebiak-Cane(ZC)模式关于热带太平洋海表温度距平(SSTA)的预报资料,从预报误差发展的角度,考察了该模式关于El Ni(n)o/La Ni(n)a事件生长期和衰减期以及正常年份SSTA的预报技巧.结果表明,ZC模式关于ENSO预报的一个最突出的特征是:El Ni(n)o事件生长期SSTA的预报误差存在着明显的季节依赖性,最大预报误差增长通常出现在春季和夏初(AMJ),存在显著的春季可预报性障碍(SPB);对于El Ni(n)o事件的衰减期、La Ni(n)a事件的生长期和衰减期以及正常年份,SSTA预报误差没有明显的季节依赖性.作者比较了ZC模式关于ENSO事件不同发展阶段(生长期和衰减期)以及正常年份SSTA的可预报性.结果表明,La Ni(n)a生长期SSTA的预报最困难;在El Ni(n)o事件、La Ni(n)a事件和正常年份3种情形中,ZC模式关于La Ni(n)a事件的预报技巧最低.用上述动力学方法,进一步考察了ZC模式预报技巧的年代际变化.结果表明,ZC模式在20世纪80年代SPB现象相对较弱,有较高的预报技巧;而在70和90年代,ZC模式预报技巧明显低于80年代,同时伴有显著的SPB现象.
