Fluxes and sources of suspended organic matter in an estuarine turbidity maximum region during low discharge conditions

Water column concentrations of total suspended solids (TSS), particulate organic carbon (POC) and particulate nitrogen (PN) were measured at three different depths in four different locations bracketing the estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM) along the main channel of a temperate riverine estuary (Winyah Bay, South Carolina, USA). Measurements were carried out over full tidal cycle (over 24 h). Salinity, temperature, current magnitude and direction were also monitored at the same time throughout the water column. Tidally averaged net fluxes of salt, TSS, POC and PN were calculated by combining the current measurements with the concentration data. Under the extreme low river discharge conditions that characterized the study period, net landward fluxes of salt were measured in the lower part of the study area, suggesting that the landward transport through the main channel of the estuary was probably balanced by export out through the sides. In contrast, the net fluxes of salt in the upper reaches of the study area were near zero, indicating a closed salt balance in this part of the estuary. In contrast to salt, the net fluxes of TSS, POC and PN in the deeper parts of the water column were consistently landward at all four sites in Winyah Bay indicating the non-conservative behavior of particulate components and their active transport up the estuary in the region around the ETM.The carbon contents (%POC), carbon:nitrogen ratios (org[C:N]a) and stable carbon isotopic compositions (δ¹³C_POC) of the suspended particles varied significantly with depth, location and tidal stage. Tidally averaged compositions showed a significant increase up the estuary in the %POC and org[C:N]a values of suspended particles consistent with the preferential landward transport of carbon-rich particles with higher vascular plant debris content. The combination of tidal resuspension and flood-dominated flow appeared to be responsible for the hydrodynamic sorting of particles along the estuary that resulted in denser, organic-poor particles being transported landward less efficiently. The elemental and isotopic compositions indicated that vascular C₃ plants and estuarine algae were the major sources of the particulate organic matter of all the samples, without any significant contributions from salt marsh C₄ vegetation (Spartina alterniflora) and/or marine phytoplankton.     

海水中234Th的超低水平液闪谱仪测定

本文提出了利用超低水平液闪谱仪测定海水中234Th的方法.海水经氢氧化铁吸附共沉淀富集后,接着用阴离子交换和TBP/煤油萃取进行Th同位素的分离与纯化.对一系列测定条件进行了详细的研究,提出了测定海水中234Th的适宜程序,即在含有234Th和产额示踪剂230Th的纯化后的5mol/dm3HNO3溶液中加入TBP/煤油进行萃取,然后用0.1mol/dm3HNO3反萃取,后者是先用契伦柯夫计数法测量234Th(通过234mPa),后加入闪烁液Hisafe 3用α/β模式测量α放射体230Th.对于α和β放射体液闪谱仪的计数效率分别为100%和55.7%±2.7%.234Th的化学回收率和总探测效率分别为70%～80%和30%～45%.该法测定海水中的234Th快速、简便和高效.     

Numerical Solution of Lock-Release Gravity Current with Viscous Self-Similar Regime

Lock-release gravity currents with a viscous self-similar regime are simulated by use of the renormalization group(RNG) k - ε model for Reynolds-stress closure. Besides the turbulent regime with initially a slumping phase of a conslant current front speed and later an inviseid self-similar phase of front speed decreasing as t^-1/3(where t is the time measured from release), the viseous self-similar regime is satisfactorily reproduced with front speed decreasing as t^-4/5,consistent with well known experimental observations.     

合浦珠母贝26S蛋白酶体S4,S7亚基基因片段的分离与分析

26S蛋白酶体是真核生物中一种具有ATP依赖性的蛋白酶复合体,主要通过泛肽途径选择性降解细胞内与代谢调控、细胞周期有关的功能蛋白及异常蛋白,参与多种细胞活动的调控过程。26S蛋白酶体由具有催化活性的20S亚复合体和一个具有调节作用的19S亚复合体组成,其中19S亚复合体中的ATP酶亚基是调节26S蛋白酶体活性的重要组件。本通过简并引物PCR手段,从软体动物合浦珠母贝(Pinctada fucata)中扩增到参与构成19S亚复合体的S4和S7(MSS1)两个亚基的基因片段。这两个基因片段所编码的ATP酶组件包含有Gx4GKT,DEID,SAT和H／QRxGRxxR等26S蛋白酶体ATP酶亚基的共同功能基序。这是首次在软体动物中报道26S蛋白酶体的ATP酶亚基基因序列,为研究软体动物中26S蛋白酶体的结构与功能奠定了分子基础。     

黄海和东海的浮游桡足类 Ⅰ. 哲水蚤目

海洋浮游桡足类是浮游生物中的一个重要组成部分,由于它分布广,种类多,而且在数量上远超过其他浮游甲壳类,为许多经济鱼类的饵料基础,因此它对渔业生产具有重要意义。许多国家在发展海洋渔业和海洋生态学的同时,也都十分重视这一类群的调查研究。 关于黄海(包括渤海)和东海的浮游桡足类,过去已有一些零散的报导,但尚缺乏系统的调查。1888-1889年Giesbrecht曾记载过厦门的6种哲水蚤类。到本世纪的三十年代,国外学者又陆续做过一些工作,如1932年Mori发表了我国东海及台湾海峡的8种哲水蚤类。1933年Yamada在黄海南部记载了哲水蚤类5种, 1935年他又在东海及台湾记述了5种。1937年Mori发表了过去历年来的调查结果,对东海及台湾东、西两岸的桡足类有较详尽的报导,在115种中哲水蚤类占78种。1949年Sproston曾记载浙江舟山5种桡足类,其中有哲水蚤类2种。1949-1952年Chiba发表了有关黄、东海的浮游生物生态研究,曾记载哲水蚤类10种。1957年БродскИЙ在哲水蚤区系研究中提到分布于黄海的16种,东海北部的8种。1962-1963年Enomoto 在黄、东海鱼类饵料基础的研究中曾提过3种哲水蚤类。国内学者在解放以后,也作过一些工作：1955年沈嘉瑞描述了江苏奉贤哲水蚤类3种;1956年他与白雪娥记述烟台鲐渔场的桡足类22种,其中哲水蚤占11种;1955年郑重引用过张松踪和方金钏在厦内鉴定的(未发表)27种,其中有哲水蚤类23种。在这海区内,除同物异名外,以往学者总共记载了哲水蚤类103种左右。 本文的研究材料系根据：1951-1963年间在渤海、黄海西部以及辽宁、河北和山东沿岸采得的标本,和1956-1964年在江苏、浙江和福建沿海,以及东经125°以西的东海陆棚区以内所采到的标本。文中共记述了哲水蚤类134种,分隶于21科、47属,其中有8种新种,有39种为黄、东海区的首次记录。还必须提到,我们尚缺乏以往学者记载过的某些深水种(如Racovitzanus antarcticus, Metridia pacifica, Scottocalanus helenae,等)的记录,这些种类分布在东经125°以东的东海深水区,这有待于今后继续补充。本文主要依据Sars(1903)的分类系统,并参考БродскИЙ(1950)在哲水蚤分类上的修订意见而写成的。

Nonlinear tidal waves in a kind of estuary with gradually varying cross-section

-Nonlinear tidal waves in a kind of estuary are studied in the paper using one-dimensional nonlinear hydrody-namic equations with friction. The estuary has exponentially varying width B=B0 e-bx and uniform depth h. The one-dimensional hydrodynamic equations are solved by perturbation method. It was found that our solution included two special cases, Pelisenpeki's solution and Airy's solution. The former can be got by letting b=0 in our solutions, and the latter by setting 6 = 0 and f= 0 (f is linear frictional coefficient). In terms of the second-order solution, the physical mechanism of nonlinear tidal waves in estuaries with gradually varying cross-section is explored. It is shown that, under the assumption of linear friction coefficient, shallow water constituent waves consist of two parts, one is produced by shallow water nonlinear effect outside the estuary, the other is generated by shallow water nonlinear effect inside estuary. In addition, the physical mechanism of the residual tidal current and
