The relationship between the concentrations and distribution of organic pollutants and black carbon content in benthic sediments in the Gulf of Gdańsk, Baltic Sea

The influence of the sediment’s physico-chemical properties and black carbon content, on the distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polychlorinated biphenyls in benthic sediments of the Gulf of Gdansk (Baltic Sea) was determined. Sediments from port, marine dump site of dredged spoils, the Vistula river mouth, Gdansk Deep were selected.The concentrations of ∑PAHs (fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, dibenzo(ah)anthracene, benzo(ghi)perylene) were 294-2200 ng/g d.w. and for ∑PCBs (28, 52, 101, 118, 138, 153, 180) were 2.4-11.3 ng/g d.w.The sediments content of loss on ignition was 1.13-16.15%, total organic carbon was 0.89-7.15%, black carbon was 0.20-1.15%. The highest correlation coefficient values (r = 0.76-0.92, p < 0.05) for a relationship between the concentrations of organic pollutants, and organic matter, organic and black carbon contents were obtained in harbor sediments with low content of organic matter (<5%) and high share of black carbon in total carbon (up to 40%).     

西南天山前缘乌拉根背斜南翼逆断层的发现及其地质意义

塔里木盆地新疆喀什以西部分是西南天山和帕米尔两大对冲构造系统的会聚带,关于两者变形前缘和分界的确切位置存在不同认识.在乌恰县以南的玛依卡克盆地南缘,清晰可见属于帕米尔构造带、向N或NNE逆冲的帕米尔前缘逆冲推覆体(PFT).最近野外调查在盆地北部发现了西南天山前缘的最新变形带:向南逆冲的乌拉根背斜南翼断层.断层总体近E...     

砂柱排水真空阻滞效应的试验和动力学解释

含低渗透盖层的强透水层在排水过程中可能产生包气带真空并阻滞排水。这种真空阻滞效应具有什么动力学特征,是岩土渗流领域有待解决的新课题。以细砂作为粗砂的盖层,进行了双层结构砂柱的排水试验,观测到了包气带真空度先快速增大,然后缓慢减小的过程,排水速率显著低于无细砂覆盖的情况。细砂盖层厚度越大,真空阻滞效应越强烈。基于水-气渗流理论提出了解释试验现象的水流方程和气流方程,并得到了排水早期和后期真空度变化的近似解析公式,说明真空度峰值随盖层厚度呈非线性增加趋势。对试验结果进行参数分析,发现盖层透气性在排水后期明显大于早期,反映了盖层含水率对透气性的影响。     

A Review of the Tetrapod Track Record in China,with Special Reference to Type Ichnospecies:Implications for Ichnotaxonomy and Paleobiology

<正>"Splitting" and "lumping" are perpetual problems in vertebrate,especially dinosaur, ichnotaxonomy.Chinese dinosaur ichnotaxonomy,which began in 1940,provides a series of interesting case studies,highlighting the dual problems of historical and dubious ichnotaxonomy. Chinese Mesozoic tetrapod track types have been placed into 63 ichnospecies(one Triassic,28 Jurassic,and 34 Cretaceous),exclusive of other,non-type ichnospecies or ichnotaxa identified from China.Fifty-two(～83%) of these 63 tetrapod ichnospecies were placed in monospecific ichnogenera. At the ichnogenus level,we prune—either by recognizing nomina dubia or by synonymy—17 from the list of 53 dinosaurian ichnogenera(a 32%reduction),leaving 36 ichnotaxa that we consider valid. Most of the cuts affect Jurassic theropod ichnotaxa,which are reduced from 23 to only nine because most ichnogenera are subjective junior synonyms of Grallator and Eubrontes.Fewer Chinese Cretaceous ichnotaxa(only six of 21 ichnogenera) are obvious nomina dubia or subjective synonyms, suggesting greater east Asian endemism during this time.Because ichnospecies differences are subtle, we provisionally retain ichnospecies as valid pending detailed comparative analyses of congeneric ichnospecies.This synthesis is long overdue and is necessary to address problems of historical and provincial ichnotaxonomy,which severely hamper comparisons of tetrapod ichnofaunas in space and time.     

地球早期地幔的冷凝结晶始于核幔边界或下地幔

JGR(Journal of Geophysical Research:Solid Earth)于2012年10月12日,发表了题为"Multi-technique equation of state for Fe2SiO4melt and the density of Fe-bearing silicate melts from 0to 161GPa"的文章指出,地球早期地幔的冷凝结晶可能始于核幔边界或下地幔。地球形成初期,地幔可能是一个整体熔融或局部熔融的巨大岩浆洋,其深度直达核幔边界。尽管目前地幔的物质大多都是固
