Ballasting outside port to prevent spread of butyltin from merchant ships

Most international discussions on ballast water management onboard ships have been virtually on the prevention of the transport of biotic alien species. This study focuses on how to improve this limited knowledge regarding the transport of butyltin compounds via ballasting. Butyltin compounds in ballast water, extracted from three sea-going merchant ships with similar voyage routes and berth ports but with different ballasting practices, were determined. Only monobutyltin (8–57 ng l^?1) and dibutyltin (10–32 ng l^?1) onboard two general cargo ships were detected in the ballast water taken outside the ports. In contrast, significant tributyltin (23–93 ng l^?1) was detected onboard the container ship in the ballast water pumped inside the loading/unloading ports. The comparison results from this study indicate that the risk of tributyltin transfer may be effectively prevented by ballasting outside the ports.     

Evidence for the 8,200 a <Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">b</Emphasis>.<Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">p</Emphasis>. cooling event in the middle Okinawa Trough

Based on new and existing data on oxygen isotopes, alkenone-surface seawater temperature trends, planktonic foraminifers, lithology, and clay mineral composition of piston cores, a distinct cooling event has been identified around 8,200 cal a b.p. in the middle Okinawa Trough, northwest Pacific. This corresponds to the 8,200 a b.p. cooling event recorded in many places of the Northern Hemisphere. During this event, the local temperature decreased by 1°C, and the δ¹⁸O value increased by 0.6‰. A strengthened Asian winter monsoon is the most probable cause for this event, which thus adds further credibility to the contention that we are dealing here with a global phenomenon.     

几种鲆鲽鱼类精子超微结构及生理特性的比较研究

借助透射电镜分别对石鲽(Kareius bicoloratus)、大菱鲆(Scophthalmus maximus L.)和牙鲆(Paralich- thys olivaceus)成熟精子的超微结构进行了比较研究,进一步测定了石鲽和牙鲆精子的基本生理特性,并研究了17℃和4℃保存精子的活力变化。结果显示3种鱼类精子均为有鞭毛精子,无顶体,尾部轴丝9+2型。不同之处包括:成熟精子的核致密度不同,以石鲽最高,大菱鲆和牙鲆则较低;在大菱鲆和牙鲆精子头部,核前端侧面都有一缺刻状结构,石鲽精子未发现此结构;头部核膜与质膜之间的细胞质含量以大菱鲆的最多;精子中段的线粒体数量不同,大菱鲆较多(10个左右),石鲽次之(8个左右),牙鲆最少,仅为5个左右;中段植入窝深度不同,以大菱鲆陷入核中最深,其他2种比较接近。石鲽和牙鲆精液的pH值比较接近。精子密度以牙鲆较高,为10.18×10~9个/mL±3.37×10~9个/mL。牙鲆和石鲽精子活力的保存时间在17℃下分别为48 h和36 h,4℃下分别为7 d和8 d。精子活力完全失去之前,随着保存时间的延长,精子的激活率和寿命逐渐下降,而涡动时间则相差不大。

对海水钝顶螺旋藻Spirulina platensis C-藻蓝蛋白的富硒能力及含硒c-藻蓝蛋白对超氧阴离子(O2·)和羟基自由基(·OH)的清除作用进行了研究.结果表明,在添加低浓度硒(40-80mg·L-1)培养时,海水钝顶螺旋藻c.藻蓝蛋白对硒的富集效果显著强于淡水螺旋藻C-藻蓝蛋白.硒浓度为40mg·L-1时,C-藻蓝蛋白对硒的利用率最高,富硒系数最大(O.9%);硒浓度为60mg·L-1时,C-藻蓝蛋白含硒量最高(402mg·kg-1).含硒C-藻蓝蛋白比CJ藻蓝蛋白对超氧阴离子和羟基自由基的清除作用都有所加强,清除效应与C-藻蓝蛋白的含硒量及蛋白浓度呈正相关.C-藻蓝蛋白含硒量最高组(402mg·kg-1)在浓度为180μg·ml-1时,对超氧阴离子和羟基自由基的清除率分别可达到83%和35%,远高于同样条件下其他淡水种类相应蛋白的清除作用.研究结果显示,利用海水培养的螺旋藻能显著提高C-藻蓝蛋白的富硒能力和含硒C-藻蓝蛋白清除超氧阴离子的活性.此研究对开发具有抗氧化功能的含硒C-藻蓝蛋白显示出独特的技术优势和较大的应用潜力.

珠江口盆地珠三坳陷层序地层样式分析

珠江口盆地珠三坳陷是一个典型的箕状断陷盆地,其层序地层格架受到主干断裂特别是珠三南断裂的强烈控制。由于珠三南断裂活动的差异性,盆地东部、中部和西部表现为不同的格架样式。并据此划分出坳陷内的3种典型层序样式,分别是缓坡型、断控陡坡型和断阶型层序样式。文昌A凹陷与阳江低凸起过渡的斜坡区和文昌B凹陷与琼海低凸起过渡区为具有坡折的缓坡背景,发育缓坡坡折型层序样式,发育斜坡扇、盆底扇、低位楔。珠三南断裂等主干断裂下降盘发育断控陡坡带层序样式,在珠三南断裂中部地区,发育断阶型层序样式。     

Predicting tsunami arrivals: Estimates and policy implications

Tsunami is one of a few kinds of natural disasters that leave people some time for escape. This escape time, which is essentially the time for the giant wave to propagate from the epicentre to a coast, has to be estimated without delay upon the occurrence of the incident. With the advancement of water wave theories, much work has been done to model the propagation of tsunamis from deep oceans to shallow water. The authors argue that while much emphasis has been put on the expansion of the high-tech early warning system and the development of complicated tsunami models, a simple-to-use yet accurate predictive model is still wanting. This paper presents a handy linear wave model, which is capable of estimating the arrival time of a tsunami with very good accuracy, as has been verified by comparison with past incidents. With the availability of such a simple model, even local communities without access to a high-tech warning system can readily estimate the time left for emergency evacuation.
