Construction of remains of small-scale mining activities as a possible innovative way how to prevent desertification

Initial mapping of secondary succession in places disturbed by mining of the Khan Khentii Strictly Protected Area in Mongolia shows a possible innovative direction taken by afforestation in order to prevent further expansion of the Gobi Desert in northern Mongolia. The study results from the knowledge of secondary succession of mined areas, which are classified as the remains and consequences of prospecting and mining work dated to the Soviet times. Ongoing succession on sites affected by mining is very slow. In quarry dumps and canavas, herb layer has not been recovered despite the fact that the prospecting and mining activities had finished more than 30 years ago. Herbs biodiversity is very poor in these areas. Conversely, representatives of the tree layer, especially Larix sibirica and Populus tremula, are found far from the continuous forest; they colonized sites located within the aridized steppe. We assume that the main factor of successful tree growth on the mining activities remains consists in the humidity condensation due to and caused by the specific shape of the canavas and dumps. Trees prosperity on these extreme habitats can be ensured particularly in the early stages of growth when the tree roots are unable to reach the groundwater table. Detail mapping of quantitative and qualitative parameters of trees shows that the dump is an ideal shape of self-watering condensation mound for forest growth and can prevent the desertification as well.     

Study on the residence time of deep groundwater for high-level radioactive waste geological disposal

Residence time of deep groundwater is one of the most important parameters in safety and performance assessment for high-level radioactive waste geological disposal. In this study, we collected the deep groundwater samples of Jijicao in Gansu Beishan pre-selected region. The deep groundwater residence time at two depths estimated by Helium-4 accumulation method were 3.8 ka and 5.0 ka respectively upon measurement and calculation, which indicates that the deep groundwater is not derived from the deep crust circulation process. Hence, deep groundwater is featured with long residence time as well as slow circulation and update rate, and such features are conductive to the safe disposal of high-level radioactive waste.     

海捕大管鞭虾(Solenocera melantho)调理食品在常温保藏中的货架期预测及产品质量分析

本文测定了海捕大管鞭虾(Solenocera melantho)(又称红虾)调理食品在不同温度保藏中的细菌总数、挥发性盐基氮(TVB-N)值、pH值及感官评价等参数。通过对虾肉色泽、组织质构、风味和外形四个方面的检测,综合各项指标决定将TVB-N作为该产品质量变化和推测货架期时长的关键指标。将各温度下测定的TVB-N值代入线性方程组计算出反应活化能E_a为55.21 k J/mol,指前因子k_0为1.08×10~9。利用Arrhenius方程外推法计算得出在20°C和25°C温度下TVB-N值变化速率常数分别为k_(20°C)=0.1405和k_(25°C)=0.2386,从而进一步确定该条件下保藏的理论货架期分别为153.6d和92.1d。经质构仪分析红虾虾仁的硬度与弹性变化,综合感官评定结果和其它测定值,确定海捕红虾产品在常温贮藏中的货架期为3个月。本研究为常温下红虾调理食品的保藏提供了理论依据。     

Isotopic Indications of Meromixis in Separated Lakes on the White Sea Coast

Studies of lakes at different stages of separation from the sea have been carried out on the northwestern coast of Kandalaksha Gulf of the White Sea. At the end of the winter period, from March 16 to 29, 2013, the lakes Kislo–Sladkoe, Trekhtzvetnoe, Nizhnee Ershovskoe, Ermolinskaya Bay and snow near the pier of Pertsov White Sea Biological Station of Moscow State University (WSBS MSU) were studied. The isotope characteristics of the water of lakes, ice and snow, the distribution of salinity, temperature, and hydrogen sulfide content were studied.

     

廊固凹陷奥陶系潜山不整合输导特征与油气优势运聚方向

不整合是廊固凹陷奥陶系潜山油气运移的重要输导通道和聚集部位,研究不整合分布及其输导特征对明确该区油气优势运移方向以及寻找有利勘探目标具有重要意义.以廊固凹陷奥陶系潜山顶面不整合的类型及分布规律、纵向结构特征为基础,对潜山顶面不整合的输导性和有效性进行了分析;利用钻井、测井、岩芯等资料对半风化岩石层进行了精细解剖,明确了主力输导通道分布和渗滤空间类型;在明确不同类型不整合展布规律后结合数值模拟确定了油气优势运移方向和潜在有利勘探区.研究结果表明,河西务潜山带奥陶系顶面不整合具有4种接触关系、2种运移通道,组合形成4种油气运聚类型,其中石炭系—二叠系覆盖的褶皱区最有利于油气聚集成藏.不整合半风化岩石层的渗滤通道类型南北具有差异性,南部岩溶发育,以溶蚀缝洞为主,北部以晚期构造缝为主.纵向上,垂直渗流带和水平潜流带是不整合岩溶带中的优势运移通道.平面上,不整合输导脊是油气的优势运移路径,位于其上的构造高点是油气聚集的有利区,杨税务南潜山和中岔口潜山是下一步油气勘探的潜在目标.     

石英阴极发光在火成岩研究中的应用

阴极发光是一种研究火成岩石英显微生长结构的有效技术方法。文章以甲玛斑岩铜矿床中岩体样品分析为例,简要介绍了光学显微镜阴极发光(OM-CL)和扫描电镜阴极发光(SEM-CL)两种图片的特点,并综述了石英阴极发光在火成岩研究中的应用。阴极发光所显示出的火成岩石英中的生长形式和蚀变结构反映了岩浆的结晶历史。相对稳定的以蓝色阴极发光为主的斑晶区域主要与石英中Ti含量的变化有关,它反映了结晶作用的温度。由于在岩浆演化过程中,与铝、锂、钾、锗、硼、铁、磷相比,钛更加相容,因此随着岩浆分异程度的加深,火成岩中铝/钛逐渐升高。石英阴极发光不仅能显示岩浆早期及岩浆晚期的各种结构,如生长环带、重熔表面、溶蚀湾等,还反映了许多次生结构,如显微裂隙等。这些现象在光学显微镜下难以观察区分。晶体的显微结构提供了熔体来源和演化的重要信息。将石英结构和熔融包裹体与微量元素研究相结合反映了岩浆演化详细的PTt轨迹,它是富硅酸盐岩浆演化过程中物理-化学条件改变的敏感指示剂。
