Structures and detrital zircon ages of the Devonian–Permian Tarbagatay accretionary complex in west Junggar,China: imbricated ocean plate stratigraphy and implications for amalgamation of the CAOB

ABSTRACT

The Tarbagatay Complex, located in northwest Junggar, is situated tectonically between the Zharma–Saur arc to the north and the Tacheng terrane and the Boshchekol–Chingiz arc to the south. This Complex belt is variably composed of ophiolitic mélange, sedimentary mélange, and coherent units of turbidites and shallow water sediments. These rocks crop out in fault-bound slices with fault-parallel asymmetric folds. Both the lithologies and deformation features of the Tarbagatay Complex suggest an accretionary origin generally with a top-to-the-south tectonic vergence, suggesting N-dipping subduction beneath the Zharma–Saur arc. The presence of a former ocean is indicated by the Ordovician ophiolite mélanges and related marine fossils. The time duration of the Tarbagatay Complex can be bracketed by detrital zircon ages of turbidites and shallow water sediments with a lower limit of major peak ages of 350–370 Ma, and an upper limit of middle Permian indicated by detrital zircon ages of 262.3 Ma. Based on these data, we suggest that the subduction of the Tarbagatay Ocean likely started in the Late Devonian and lasted until the middle Permian. Taking into account the formation of the northern part of the Kazakhstan orocline, which has a similar temporal-spatial framework, we propose a tectonic model for the western CAOB that involves accretion and amalgamation from the Ordovician to the middle Permian.     

荒漠植物生活史对策研究进展与展望

植物种群生活史是指植物种群从种子萌发到种子形成所经历的全部过程,它包括植物种群生活周期各个阶段(繁殖、种子、补充与生长)的生活史特征以及与同一生境内其他生物之间和环境的相互作用。而生活史对策是生物在长期的自然选择下形成的、以各种生活史特征表现出来的适应对策,即由自然选择塑造的生物体外形和习性。本文综述了国内外植物生活史对策的研究历史、进展和生活史对策的研究内容以及生活史对策理论在荒漠植物研究中的应用。指出生活史研究仍存在不足首先是研究内容上,资源分配在多年生植物中的权衡仍未被有力证明,邻体效应与繁殖分配的关系在个体水平上仍不明了,多年生植物在不同邻体效应和生境下将采取何种繁殖对策目前尚无明确的结论;繁殖分配与性分配之间的关系,引起花序结构上资源分配差异的原因,各种繁殖对策中繁殖分配异同与维持机制等问题仍有待于进一步的研究;种子大小的变异机制以及生物学意义仍未得到令人满意的答复,更需分子水平上的研究来解释其机理。在群落水平上种子大小与萌发能力的关系不明确,萌发过程的时间扩散方式报道甚少。因此,这些方面的研究工作急待加强。

滇西金满脉状铜矿床的40Ar-39Ar快中子活化年龄

金满铜矿床是滇西兰坪——思茅盆地中-新生代砂页岩中相当典型的脉状矿床。关于该矿床的成矿时代,多年来一直沿用铅同位素模式年龄,缺乏更为可靠的同位素年龄数据,因而对该矿床乃至盆地内同类矿床成矿作用的认识带来了很大困难。为探讨该矿床的形成时代,作者选取含铜石英脉状矿石中的石英进行⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar快中子活化年龄分析。     

Clouds, haze, and CH4, CH3D, HCN, and C2H2 in the atmosphere of Titan probed via 3 μm spectroscopy

Using synthetic spectra derived from an updated model atmosphere together with a continuum model that includes contributions from haze, cloud and ground, we have re-analyzed the recently published (Geballe et al., 2003, Astrophys. J. 583, L39-L42) high-resolution 3 μm spectrum of Titan which contains newly-detected bands of HCN (in emission) and C₂H₂ and CH₃D (in absorption), in addition to previously detected bands of CH₄. In the 3.10-3.54 μm interval the analysis yields strong evidence for the existence of a cloud deck or optically thick haze layer at about the 10 mbar (∼ 100 km) level. The haze must extend well above this altitude in order to mask the strong CH₄ lines at 3.20-3.50 μm. These cloud and haze components must be transparent at 2.87-2.92 μm, where analysis of the CH₃D spectrum demonstrates that Titan's surface is glimpsed through a second cloud deck at about the 100 mbar (∼ 50 km) level. Through a combination of areal distribution and optical depth this cloud deck has an effective transmittance of ∼ 20%. The spectral shape of Titan's continuum indicates that the higher altitude cloud and haze particles responsible for suppressing the CH₄ absorptions have a largely organic make-up. The rotational temperature of the HCN ranges from 140 to 180 K, indicating that the HCN emission occurs over a wide range of altitudes. This emission, remodeled using an improved collisional deactivation rate, implies mesospheric mixing ratio curves that are consistent with previously predictions. The stratospheric and mesospheric C₂H₂ mixing ratios are ∼¹⁰⁻⁵, considerably less than previous model predictions (Yung et al., 1984), but approximately consistent with recent observational results. Upper limits to mixing ratios of HC₃N and C₄H₂ are derived from non-detections of those species near 3.0 μm.

Seasonal and spatial distribution of nonylphenol and IBP in Saemangeum Bay, Korea

In order to investigate spatial and temporal distribution of organic pollutants in the Saemangeum Bay, organophosphorus pesticides (10), alkylphenols (8), chlorophenols (2), bisphenol A were analyzed from the surface seawater taken in 2002–2003. Most of the analytes were not detected in all stations except nonylphenol and S-benzyl-O,O-di-isopropyl phosphorothioate (IBP). Concentrations of nonylphenol and IBP ranged from ND to 298 ng/l and from ND to 1840 ng/l, respectively. The high levels of nonylphenol and IBP were found in the estuary areas of Mangyeong and Dongjin River. The levels of nonylphenol and IBP in surface seawater varied through seasons and the high levels of nonylphenol and IBP were in summer season (August). Based on real time monitoring of IBP and on correlation between concentrations of target compounds and contents of salinity in seawater, physical mixing and diffusion of seawater were found to be the major factors that affect the spatial distribution of IBP and nonylphenol in the Saemangeum Bay environment.     

Element geochemistry and cleaning potential of the No. 11 coal seam from Antaibao mining district

It has aroused great attention that the mobilization of potential toxic substance during coal mining, pro- cessing and using has serious negative influence on environment. Clearly, the coal cleaning can be prop-erly applied to removing hazardous elements or re-ducing their concentrations prior to combustion, which also is considered as an economical and effective technique in minimizing some of these problems[1]. Unfortunately, there are fairly few studies on the parti-tioning behavior of trac…     

Infrared Spectroscopy of Jupiter's Atmosphere after the A and E Impacts of Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9

Infrared spectra of Jupiter's atmosphere were obtained with the infrared spectrometer (IRS) on the 1.5-m telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) during the first 2 days of the impacts of the fragments of Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9 (1993e). We monitored 3.51 ± 0.17 μm radiation from the impact areas, undisturbed areas, and auroral regions of Jupiter after the A and E impacts. The strong emission of a portion of the P-branch of the ν₃band of CH₄was detected on the A impact area 4 hr after the impact. H⁺₃emissions are found to be decreased at the A and E impact sites after 4 hr and 10 hr 50 min of the impacts, respectively, compared with undisturbed areas at the same latitude. The temperatures of the southern H⁺₃aurora were normal within the first several hours following the A and E impacts.
