Oxidative stress in two populations of killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) with differing contaminant exposure histories

A population of killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) inhabiting a creosote-polluted inlet of the Elizabeth River demonstrates tolerance to the acute toxic effects exerted by contaminated sediments on reference site killifish. Previous data have suggested that upregulated antioxidant defenses contribute to short-term tolerance in killifish exposed to Elizabeth River sediments. This study investigated population differences in antioxidant defenses from wild caught Elizabeth River and reference population killifish in different seasons, and after being held in the laboratory. Parameters measured in the killifish were total glutathione concentrations (GSH(T)), activities of glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and lipid peroxidation (LPO), all in adult hepatic tissues. The Elizabeth River population exhibited greater GSH(T), higher GPx activities, and increased LPO as compared to the reference population. Sex specific population differences were also observed in GSH(T) and GPx. Both populations displayed decreased GSH(T) and increased GR from early to late summer, as well as after being held in the laboratory. This study indicates that there are many factors that may contribute to differences in levels of antioxidant defenses in addition to exposure to contaminants, including reproductive status and environmental conditions.     

海底泥的温度对A3钢腐蚀影响研究

随着海洋石油开发事业的发展，埋入海底泥中的钢铁管线愈来愈多，原油和天然气的海底输送管线均有一定温度，使管～泥界面区的温度升高。了解温度变化对钢铁腐蚀速度的影响，是海底管线工程设计所必需的，然而这种试验难度高、耗资大。工程设计部门往往采取推论、估算的方法，这样带有一定盲目性，往往带来巨大的浪费。作者利用国内外首创的“ＭＤ”原状海底泥试验方法①，进行了海底泥温对钢腐蚀速率的影响的部分研究工作。１材料与方法１．１实验钢材为Ａ３钢，成分见表１。１．２实验海底泥随工程地质调查船，利用“ＭＤ”法取渤海海底泥…     

海洋矢量过程旋转谱估计的统计分布及置信区间

本文利用一些复随机变量的分布和统计推断理论，导出了向量过程的正旋谱、负旋谱、谱差、总谱、外自谱、频域外自相关函数、外自谱的位相函数等估计量的渐近分布以及它们的置信区间，并简略地讨论了所得置信区间的最优性。最后用锚系海流计资料实例说明了所得置信区间公式在海流资料分析中的应用。

China's population: an alternative perspective

The author presents a selection of cartograms designed to illustrate aspects of the demography of China. Topics covered include population growth, density, regional variations in fertility, and age distribution. A discussion of the advantages of using cartograms (maps drawn proportional to a given variable) as opposed to conventional, area-based maps, is included.     

Far beyond the Gulf: the implications of warfare for Asian labour migration

The implications of the Gulf War are assessed for the countries in Asia that send labor migrants to the Middle East. "This paper seeks to examine the effects of...the loss of remittances (and related issues, including return migration), primarily in terms of the long-term implications of the War for the future of contract labour migration in the Asian region...."
