Effects of waterborne Cu and Cd on anti-oxidative response,lipid peroxidation and heavy metals accumulation in abalone Haliotis discus hannai ino

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of waterborne copper(Cu) and cadmium(Cd) on survival, anti-oxidative response, lipid peroxidation and metal accumulation in abalone Haliotis discus hannai. Experimental animals(initial weight: 7.49 g ± 0.01 g) were exposed to graded concentrations of waterborne Cu(0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08 mg L-1) or Cd(0.025, 0.05, 0.25, 0.5mg L-1) for 28 days, respectively. Activities of the anti-oxidative enzymes(catalase, CAT; superoxide dismutase, SOD; glutathione peroxidases, GPx; glutathione S-transferase, GST), contents of the reduced glutathione(GSH) and malondiadehyde(MDA) in the hepatopancreas, and metal accumulation in hepatopancreas and muscles were analyzed after 0, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28 days of metal exposure, respectively. Results showed that 0.04 mg L-1, 0.06 mg L-1 and 0.08 mg L-1 Cu caused 100% death of abalone on the 21 st, 10 th and 6th day, respectively. However, no dead abalone was found during the 28-day waterborne Cd exposure at all experimental concentrations. Generally, activities of SOD and GST in hepatopancreas under all Cu concentrations followed a decrease trend as the exposure time prolonged. However, these activities were firstly increased and then decreased to the control level and increased again during Cd exposure. Activities of CAT in all Cu exposure treatments were higher than those in the control. These activities were firstly increased and then decreased to the control level and increased again during Cd exposure. Contents of MDA in hepatopancreas in all Cu treatments significantly increased first and then decreased to the control level. However, the MDA contents in hepatopancreas were not significantly changed during the 28-day Cd exposure. The metals accumulation in both hepatopancreas and muscles of abalone significantly increased with the increase of waterborne metals concentration and exposure time. These results indicated that H. discus hannai has a positive anti-oxidative defense against Cu or Cd. In conclusion, anti-oxidative mechanism in abalone to resist waterborne Cu did not follow the same pattern as that for waterborne Cd.     

青海大柴旦断裂古地震特征

通过卫星影像解译发现,青海海西地区大柴旦东侧山前洪积扇上发育了一条影像特征清晰、连续性较好的活动断裂带,被称为大柴旦断裂。野外追踪调查确认该断裂为一条总体走向NNW(340°左右),长度约125km的活动断裂带。该断裂属柴达木盆地北缘断裂系的重要组成部分,晚第四纪构造活动具挤压逆冲特征兼右旋走滑分量。山前冲洪积扇保存有多级较小的断层陡坎、断层沟槽和冲沟右旋等断错地貌现象。利用差分GPS技术对断层陡坎进行测量,单条小陡坎的高度一般为0.5~1m,多条陡坎组合累积高度为3~5m。通过对2个天然古地震剖面和3个探槽剖面进行综合分析,最前缘的主控断层为逆冲断层,后缘表现为张性正断层的组合形式,断裂新构造活动具有逐渐向山前扩展的特征。根据样品14C测年结果大致确定了5次古地震事件,其中全新世以来有4次;古地震时间具有准周期性,其复发间隔约为2 000年。最近一次古地震事件的离逝时间是(1 935±60)a B.P.之后,说明大柴旦断裂离逝时间与复发间隔较接近,地震危险性比较高。     

变差函数在赣杭构造带火山岩型铀矿田(床)评价中的应用

在简要介绍变差函数的原理、算法和研究区地质情况的基础上,将变差函数引入火山岩型铀成矿作用与地形相关性研究中。详细描述了赣杭构造带中不同成矿规模矿田(床)区地形高程变差统计的过程,初步分析了变差统计结果的地质意义。研究结果表明,地形高程值变差函数的长轴方向可以反映研究区的主要构造方向,变差函数的长短轴半径与铀矿床的成矿规模在一定程度上具有对应关系。     

FIO-ESM v2.0 CORE2-forced experiment for the CMIP6 Ocean Model Intercomparison Project

We introduced the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) Ocean Model Intercomparison Project CORE2-forced (OMIP-1) experiment by using the First Institute of Oceanography Earth System Model version 2.0 (FIO-ESM v2.0), and comprehensively evaluated the simulation results. Unlike other OMIP models, FIO-ESM v2.0 includes a coupled ocean surface wave component model that takes into account non-breaking surface wave-induced vertical mixing in the ocean and effect of surface wave Stokes drift on air-sea momentum and heat fluxes in the climate system. A sub-layer sea surface temperature (SST) diurnal cycle parameterization was also employed to take into account effect of SST diurnal cycle on air-sea heat ?uxes to improve simulations of air-sea interactions. Evaluations show that mean values and long-term trends of significant wave height were adequately reproduced in the FIO-ESM v2.0 OMIP-1 simulations, and there is a reasonable fit between the SST diurnal cycle obtained from in situ observations and that parameterized by FIO-ESM v2.0. Evaluations of model drift, temperature, salinity, mixed layer depth, and the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation show that the model performs well in the FIO-ESM v2.0 OMIP-1 simulation. However, the summer sea ice extent of the Arctic and Antarctic is underestimated.     

基于多尺度有限元的海上升压站脚靴式桩套筒连接结构分析研究

脚靴式海上升压站导管架的桩套筒与主导管的连接结构是关键荷载传递部位。整体梁系有限元模型无法反应局部板型结构的失效状态;截断板系有限元模型则受制于边界条件的合理性,结果不够精确。文中基于某工程海上升压站,建立不同精细化范围的多尺度有限元模型及不同边界条件的截断模型,对结构屈服失效及屈曲失效复核的同时论证了局部网格对计算精细程度的影响及截断模型对边界条件的敏感性;此外,研究了轭板板厚及应力比对屈曲失效的敏感程度,为今后海上升压站脚靴结构不同阶段的设计、优化提供参考和借鉴。

昆明坝子边界层贴地逆温特征及其成因

利用昆明2004~2006年08 h气象加密探空资料对昆明坝子贴地逆温进行了分析,结果显示:昆明坝子贴地逆温年频率为59.9%,厚度为120 m,强度为0.9℃/100 m,与国内其他地区相比具有出现频率高,厚度小,强度略强的特点。昆明坝子贴地逆温频率、厚度、强度呈单峰型年变化,春季频率最高、厚度最厚、强度最强;夏季频率最低、厚度最薄、强度最弱,其变化受降水、风速、晴夜状况变化的影响。坝子地形是影响贴地逆温的重要因素,昆明坝子地形对坝内贴地逆温具有保护稳定作用,尤其是对辐散冷却逆温过程的保护,同时也影响贴地逆温的厚度和强度。昆明坝子贴地逆温存在辐射逆温、地形逆温、水体平流逆温的共同影响,但辐射冷却逆温是主导机制。
