Initial Time Dependence of Abundances in Solar Energetic Particle Events

We compare the initial behavior of Fe/O and He/H abundance ratios and their relationship to the evolution of the proton energy spectra in "small" and "large" gradual solar energetic particle (SEP) events. The results are qualitatively consistent with the behavior predicted by the theory of Ng et al. published in 1999. He/H ratios that initially rise with time are a signature of scattering by non-Kolmogorov Alfvén wave spectra generated by intense beams of shock-accelerated protons streaming outward in large gradual SEP events.     

SME observations of O2 (1 delta g) nightglow: an assessment of the chemical production mechanisms

Solar Mesosphere Explorer (SME) observations of the 3 a.m. 1.27 micrometers nightglow at 45 N latitude, averaged over the period 10-31 July 1984, are reported. From the deduced volume emission rates, we derive the O2(a1 delta g) night-time production rates for the 80-100 km altitude range. Utilizing the mean SME-acquired 3 p.m. ozone profile for the same latitude and time period and an updated photochemical model, we determine night-time O, O3, H, OH, HO2, and H2O2 profiles. These are used in calculating the rates of reactions which are sufficiently exothermic to produce O2(1 delta) or excited states of OH or HO2, which could transfer their energy to O2 to form O2(1 delta). Of these reactions, most have rates that are quite small compared with the observed night-time O2(1 delta) production rate. For several others, laboratory experiments have found O2(1 delta) yields which are insufficient for simulating the observed O2(1 delta). Using yields of O2(1 delta) based on published laboratory and observational studies, we find that the sum of two reaction sequences can approximate the SME measurements: (1) O+O+M and (2) H+O3 followed by OH*+O2.     

Plastic debris ingestion by marine catfish: an unexpected fisheries impact

Plastic marine debris is a pervasive type of pollution. River basins and estuaries are a source of plastics pollution for coastal waters and oceans. Estuarine fauna is therefore exposed to chronic plastic pollution. Three important catfish species [Cathorops spixii (N = 60), Cathorops agassizii (N = 60) and Sciades herzbergii (N = 62)] from South Western Atlantic estuaries were investigated in a tropical estuary of the Brazilian Northeast in relation to their accidental ingestion of plastic marine debris. Individuals from all three species had ingested plastics. In C. spixii and C. agassizii, 18% and 33% of individuals had plastic debris in their stomachs, respectively. S. herzbergii showed 18% of individuals were contaminated. All ontogenetic phases (juveniles, sub-adults and adults) were contaminated. Nylon fragments from cables used in fishery activities (subsistence, artisanal and commercial) played a major role in this contamination. These catfish spend their entire life cycles within the estuary and are an important feeding resource for larger, economically important, species. It is not yet possible to quantify the scale and depth of the consequences of this type of pollution. However, plastics are well known threat to living resources in this and other estuaries. Conservation actions will need to from now onto take plastics pollution into consideration.     

浅析塘沽区深层淡水咸化原因及防治

对于不合理开采地下水而造成的地下淡水的咸化,通过调查试验找到了原因。采取了改善成井工艺、限制凿井深度、控制开采层位、对废井及时封填等多项措施,对防止地下水咸化进一步扩散和未咸化地区地下水污染的防治,都收到了很好的效果。     

地面核磁共振在导电介质中的应用

电磁法和核磁共振法的综合可用来研究良导土壤地区，研究时两种方法可用一个简单的均匀半空间模型和同样的天线，这样对所获得的ＮＭＲ数据进行解释有明显的改善。一个实例表明，计算机模拟结果、野外测试的结果和附近观测井的数据十分吻合。我们选择出电磁法半空间模型与半空间模型有效地结合组成现在的ＮＭＲ仪器。     

湖州市不同土壤重金属的污染现状

湖州市是主要的农产品基地，其主要土壤类型有四种，即黄泥土、青紫泥、白泥土和湖松土。样品分析表明重金属元素在黄泥土和青紫泥中较高，白泥土和湖松土中较低。大多数重金属元素相对下蜀土是富集的，超过自然背景值的元素有Cu,Cd及部门土壤中的Pb和Hg。有机质、pH值和Eh值对重金属的含量和化学形态有影响，有机质愈高，重金属的含量愈高；pH值接近中性，重金属的含量亦高。土壤的氧化条件可使大多数重金属变为高价离子，它们的化合物活性较低，但Cr^6 易被植物吸收。湖州土壤中重金属的高值点与工业污水排放和大气沉降有关。土壤中对农作物有危害的重金属元素为Cd和Hg，局部地方为Pb。
