A New Method for the Non-destructive Determination of Fish Freshness by Nuclear Imaging

A new method for determining the freshness of harvested carp using nuclear imaging technology is presented. This research attempted to determine the freshness of carp by measuring the radioactive area increase （RAI） value of fish. The carp samples were maintained under refrigerated condition for 12 d, and RAI and total volatile base nitrogen （T-VBN） values were determined during the storage. The results showed that the RAI value increased with the T-VBN content during the storage. Also, there is a significant correlation between T-VBN content and RAI value of the carp kept in refrigerated condition. The results of this study suggest that the RAI value could be utilized to evaluate rapidly the freshness of carp.     

地浸采铀矿区地下水中UO22+和SO42-迁移的数值模拟

原地浸出(简称地浸)采矿又称为"溶液采矿"或"化学采矿",是上世纪70年代以后发展起来的一种非传统的新的采矿技术,它是一种集采矿、选矿、冶金于一体的新的采矿理论和采矿方法,是将溶浸液直接注入地下含矿岩层中,利用矿物与水溶液的化学反应来获取有用金属和化合物.目前国内外在一些有色金属、贵金属、稀有金属矿床中都在逐渐应用溶浸采矿技术,其中应用最广泛和成功的尤其是铀矿床的溶浸开采.原地溶浸采矿具有基建投资少,生产成本低,建设周期短,生产效率高,资源回收率高,适于开采低品位贫矿,保护地表生态环境等优点;但是,地浸采矿将造成对地下水的污染,采矿结束后必须对地下水进行修复和复原(Mudd,2001;IAEA,2005).我国于上世纪90年代在新疆伊犁512矿床成功地建成了地浸采铀矿山,目前已有多座地浸矿山投入生产,部分矿山已经采完或即将采完,急需开展地下水的复原研究.本文选择新疆某终采地浸铀矿区,对地下水水中主要污染物UO22+和SO4-的迁移的寿命进行数值模拟,并以此探讨选择合适的地下水复原方法.     

华南中新生代NNE走滑断裂对铀成矿控制的分形分析

在区域成矿学研究中,断裂构造往往是多尺度成矿系统(成矿带、矿田、矿床和矿体)的主导控制因素.在诸多控矿要素中,断裂构造的复杂程度与成矿有着及其密切的联系.分形理论可以将断裂构造复杂程度定量化,如Mandel-brot提出的分形几何学中的分维数,定量描述断裂构造体系的复杂程度(Mandebrot,1985).孔凡臣等(1991)通过单条断裂体的分数维值的含义研究,认为断裂构造的分数维D值的大小反映了其结构的复杂程度和活动性的强弱.具有不同分数维D值的断裂构造常常处在不同的构造发育阶段.谭凯旋等(1998)研究了中国断裂构造的分形特征及大地构造意义,结果表明中国大陆壳体中深大断裂的分布具有分形特征,大陆全境的分维值为1.493,各构造区的分维值为0.827～1.624.并指出断裂构造的分维值反映了区域大地构造演化、运动历史的复杂性和构造活动的强弱性.本文运用分形理论来研究华南中新生代NNE走滑断裂的空间分布分形特征及铀矿分布分形的关系.     

利用MODIS识别草原火灾迹地方法的研究

中国是草原火灾频繁国家,草原火灾对牧场和牲畜生产造成了严重的破坏。MODIS每天可以获得36个通道的卫星数据,为草原火灾迹地研究提供了新的数据源。通过实验研究,根据火灾迹地在MODIS短波红外波段的光谱特征,提出了GEMI-B指数以突出火灾迹地的特征,并进一步提出了基于GEMI-B指数且适用于火灾迹地面积提取的时间序列数据合成方法。同时发展了一种自动提取草原区域火灾迹地的方法,利用火点作为初始种子点,采用种子点扩散算法在时间序列合成数据的GEMI-B指数图像上实现火灾迹地自动提取。     

Characteristics of vertical ozone distribution in the lower troposphere in the Yangtze River Delta at Lin’an in the spring of 2001

Deterioration of air quality as a result of rapid eco- nomic development in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) has attracted much scientific and public attention[1―7]. To explore the air quality of a region, measurement of pollutants in locations reflecting the “background” atmospheric conditions of the region is essential. The Regional Baseline Air Quality Monitoring Station of the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences (CAMS) at Lin’an is located in such an area in Zhe- jiang Pro…     

Discovery of Three Variable Stars in Direction toward NGC 4565

We present the results of a variable star search in a field next to the edge-on galaxies NGC 4565 from the archive data of Beijing-Arizona-Taibei-Connecticut Multicolor Sky Survey. Three new variable stars were discovered. Based on spectra obtained from the 2.16 m NAOC telescope, we identify two of these as RR Lyr stars and one as a special T Tauri star.     

Bioenergetic responses in green lipped mussels (Perna viridis) as indicators of pollution stress in Xiamen coastal waters, China

Samples of green lipped mussels (Perna viridis) were collected from three sites (Huoshao, I’Maluan and Tong’an) around Xiamen coastal waters, where levels of various trace organic pollutants have been studied. Samples were also collected at a “cleaner” reference site near Dongshan Island for comparison. Clearance rate, absorption efficiency and oxygen consumption of the mussels were measured under controlled laboratory condition; organic pollutants in their tissues were also analyzed. Scope for growth (SFG) was employed as a general biomarker to evaluate the stress of pollutants. Specimens from Tong’an site had the lowest SFG values (1.14 J/h/g); while specimens from the I’Maluan site and Huoshao site had SFG values of 5.01 and 6.72 J/h/g, respectively. Specimens from Dongshan (reference site) had a relatively high SFG value of 10.96 J/h/g. There was a significant negative correlation between the SFG of the different populations of green lipped mussels and the concentration of DDT in their tissues.     

Microbial modulation in the biomass and toxin production of a red-tide causing alga

The effect of S₁₀, a strain of marine bacteria isolated from sediment in the Western Xiamen Sea, on the growth and paralytic shellfish poison (PSP) production in the alga Alexandrium tamarense (A. tamarense) was studied under controlled experimental conditions. The results of these experiments have shown that the growth of A. tamarense is obviously inhibited by S₁₀ at high concentrations, however no evident effect on its growth was observed at low concentrations. Its PSP production was also inhibited by S₁₀ at different concentrations, especially at low concentrations. The toxicity of this strain of A. tamarense is about (0.95–12.14) × 10⁻⁶ MU/cell, a peak toxicity value of 12.14 × 10⁻⁶ MU/cell appeared on the 14th day, after which levels decreased gradually. The alga grew well in conditions of pH 6–8 and salinities of 20–34‰. The toxicity of the alga varied markedly at different pH and salinity levels. Toxicity decreased as pH increased, while it increased with salinity and reached a peak value at a salinity of 30‰, after which it declined gradually. S₁₀ at a concentration of 1.02 × 10⁹ cells/ml inhibited growth and the PSP production of A. tamarense at different pH and salinity levels. S₁₀ had the strongest inhibitory function on the growth of A. tamarense under conditions of pH 7 and a salinity of 34‰. The best inhibitory effect on PSP production by A. tamarense was at pH 7, this inhibitory effect on PSP production did not relate to salinity. Interactions between marine bacteria and A. tamarense were also investigated using the flow cytometer technique (FCM) as well as direct microscope counting. S₁₀ was identified as being a member of the genus Bacillus, the difference in 16S rDNA between S₁₀ and Bacillus halmapalus was only 2%. The mechanism involved in the inhibition of growth and PSP production of A. tamarense by this strain of marine bacteria, and the prospect of using it and other marine bacteria in the bio-control of red-tides was discussed.     

A Primary Study of Interaction Between Monsoon and Sea Surface Temperature in the Neighborhood Sea Area in South Aisa

1. Introduction South Asian monson is an important weather and climate phenomenon, and it is also an important con- stituent of the global atmospheric circulation, thus people pay more attention to it (Hahn and Manabe, 1975; Zhu and Zhao, 1987; Zhu et al., 1991; Zhou and Yang, 1994; Wu and Huang, 2001; Li et al., 1999). For example, Zhu and Zhao (1987) studied the effects of terrain on South Asian monsoon by the equato- rial atmospheric balance model, indicating that ter- rain effect is …     

The Precision Estimate of Multi-Fractal Methods of Time Sequence of Earthquakes

At present,there are many methods of calculating seismic time-fractal.However,there isn’t aquantitative result about the precision of every method.So,in this Paper,we use the digitalimitation of theoretic model to solve precision estimate problems of calculating the precision ofone dimension distribution of theoretic models with Cantor multi-fractal set,we obtained someresults as follows:(1)There exists many problems such as rules,numbers of samples,basicpoint selection,the diffence resulted from different methods and so on.(2)The fixed-massmethod(MAS)and the minimal spanning tree method(MST)can give good structure charac-teristics with different q value,while the counting-boxes method can’t.And the error of thefixed-radius method(RAD)in the range of-q is too big.(3)There are scale problems of rulesfor multi-fractal,it is objective reflection for non-rule area.(4)MST has the boundary prob-lem,while MAS and RAD don’t.(5)With increasing sample number,the precision of allfractal-dimension values becomes
