Petroleum accumulation conditions of the Paleogene Shahejie formation in Qingdong Sag of Bohai Bay Basin,Eastern China

Qingdong Sag is a potential area for oil and gas exploration in Bohai Bay Basin of Northern China. In order to find a direction for the subsequent exploration of Jiyang Depression, oil and gas accumulation conditions of Qingdong Sag are studied in details by using geochemistry, sequence stratigraphy, sedimentology, and petroleum geology methods, integrated with geological, seismic, and testing data. The results show that the Shahejie Formation in the Qingdong Sag was mainly deposited in deltaic and lacustrine settings. The upper part of member 4 of the Shahejie Formation formed in delta, beach bar, low stand fan, and submarine fan. Three tectonic settings (extensional, strike-slip, and extension and strike-slip compound) were recognized. Accumulation of oil and gas in Qingdong Sag is influenced by structures and reservoir and cap rock conditions. Six oil and gas accumulation systems were found, which are north fault terrace-north subdepression oil and gas accumulation system, west slope belt and gas accumulation system, middle Horst oil and gas accumulation system, south Horst oil and gas accumulation system, drape structural belt of Qingdong 2 well oil and gas accumulation system, and Qingnan area oil and gas accumulation system. Members 3 and 4 of the Shahejie Formation are the main target of hydrocarbon source rocks because the organic matter abundance is up to the standard of good hydrocarbon source rocks. The north of the Qingdong Sag and second slope-break belt should be the key objectives of exploration in the future.     

A rock fall of the north Zhongtiao Shan fault and the Yongji earthquake in 793, Shanxi Province,North China

Earthquake is the main driving factor of landslides, and a large number of empirical formulas for seismic parameters have been proposed. This article studies a rock avalanche triggered by a paleoearthquake and two trial trenches in Yongji, Shanxi Province. Six quartz samples were collected from different parts on the top of the boulder, and the youngest ¹⁰Be exposure age is 1173 ± 123 years, which is considered as the occurrence time of the rock fall. The trenches excavated near the boulder infer that there was an earthquake between 2000 ± 110 and 465 ± 45 cal a bp in the north Zhongtiao Shan (NZS) fault with a maximum vertical displacement of 1.5 m and the surface rupture length (SRL) of ~35 km corresponding to a magnitude (M _S) of 6.70 ± 0.12 based on the displacement. Taking into account the occurrence time and minimum magnitude triggering the rock fall, the latest paleoearthquake revealed by trenches may be the forcing factor. Furthermore, according to historical records of Yongji, the earthquake of magnitude 6 in ad 793 is in consistency with the occurrence time and magnitude of the earthquake triggering the landslide. Therefore, the rock fall is related to the paleoearthquake revealed by the trenches, which may be the 793 Yongji earthquake.     

Relationship between environmental factors and plankton in the Bayuquan Port,Liaodong Bay,China: a five-year study

To understand the relationship between the plankton community and environmental factors and water quality in the Bayuquan Port of Liaodong Bay, China, and investigations were carried out during six different periods (April 2009, April 2010, October 2011, April 2012, October 2012, and April 2013). This area was characterized by high levels of nutrient and suspended solids (SPS) during survey periods, and eutrophication led to the occurrence of red tides in April and October 2012 and April 2013. Our analyses revealed that the plankton communities of Bayuquan Port lacked stability and were affected seriously by external disturbance (e.g., oceanographic engineering and river runoff). Our data indicate that oil, dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), SPS, and chlorophyll a (Chl-a) were key factors that regulated the phytoplankton and zooplankton communities. The partial redundancy analysis (partial RDA) suggested that oil and SPS were the most important environmental variables affecting the phytoplankton community in April 2010 and 2012, whereas DIN concentration played a governing role in zooplankton dynamics. Oil and Chl- a concentrations affected significantly the zooplankton community in October 2012. Therefore, the plankton communities could reflect both dynamic changes in coastal environmental factors and the ongoing eutrophication process caused by anthropogenic activities in this area.     

Stabilization Mechanism and Effect Evaluation of Stabilized Silt with Lignin Based on Laboratory Data

The potential of a lignin-based by-product to stabilize silt was evaluated. The physical and mechanical properties of silt in its natural state, as well as when treated with varying proportions of lignin, were analyzed. The parameters tested include the particle size distribution, Atterberg limits, compaction characteristics, unconfined compressed strength, pH value, and electrical resistivity. To understand the stabilization mechanism of lignin-treated silt at a microscopic level, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and Fourier transform infrared resonance (FTIR) spectroscopy were also carried out on lignin and representative samples after 28 days of curing. The results indicate that the engineering properties of silt are improved by the addition of lignin. Particle size distribution is changed and plastic index is reduced from 8.8 to 7.7. After improvement, the maximum dry density increases and the optimum moisture content decreases, while the change of dry density with moisture content is enhanced. The treated silt has greater strength performance than the natural silt in terms of unconfined compressed strength and all of the samples have a pH value lower than 10. Curing time and moisture content have a significant impact on unconfined compressed strength but almost no effect on pH. Micro-chemical analysis reveals that the improvement of performance exhibited by lignin-treated silt may be mainly attributed to the cation exchange and the formation of more stable soil structure by lignin cementing. The stabilization mechanism of lignin-treated silt was proposed according to the results of chemical analysis. It is shown that lignin-based stabilizers have potential to improve the engineering properties of silt.

A WOE method for urban growth boundary delineation and its applications to land use planning

The aim of this study is to develop a new approach for delineating urban growth boundaries (UGBs) by applying the weight of evidence (WOE) method to land suitability assessments. Rapid urbanization is causing urban areas to encroach on agricultural land in China, posing a threat to national food security. Land use planning with clear delineation of UGBs is an effective method for controlling urban expansion. However, existing methods for delineating UGBs are typically complex or involve arbitrary decision-making. To address these drawbacks, we introduced the WOE method to develop a new UGB delineation approach, and applied this approach to a case study in the city of Jinan, China. This application achieved satisfactory accuracy; therefore, we concluded that the WOE method was an objective and effective approach to land use suitability assessments and UGB delineation. Land use planning could be benefitted considerably from the application of this method to land allocation and other planning decisions.     

分子标记概述及其在藻类中的应用

遗传标记经历了形态标记、细胞学标记、蛋白质标记及DNA标记的四个重要发展历程。纵观遗传学的发展历史,遗传学的发展推动了新型遗传标记的发展,每一种新型遗传标记的发现,均推进了遗传理论与技术的发展。19世纪后期,孟德尔以豌豆为材料,利用7对形态学标记对杂种后代的不同个体依据性状表现进行归类分析,发现了著名的遗传分离规律和独立分配规律。细胞学标记是指能明确显示遗传多态性的细胞学特征,如染色体形态、数目和结构在不同物种中的差异等,可以作为一种遗传标记来进行基因定位。20世纪50年代,人们发现同工酶是一种可用于物种起源与进化研究、种质鉴定、分类等诸多领域的分子标记技术(Markert et al.,1959)20世纪后期以来,DNA分子标记技术不断涌现,相继建立了RFLP(restriction fragment lengthen polymorphisis)、DNA指纹 (DNA fingerprint)，RAPD (random anplified polymophism DNA), AFLP(amplified fragnent lengthen polynorphisn)、微卫星 DNA (microsate llite DNA).SNP(single nucleotide polymorphisn)等专门的技术，在生物研究中得以广泛应用。分子标记技术应用于藻类学研究较晚,主要用于藻类的系统发生、地理分布、种群遗传、分类、亲本鉴定、杂种优势的鉴别及种质鉴定等领域。
