Isolation and biological characteristics of aerobic marine magnetotactic bacterium YSC-1

1 INTRODUCTION Magnetotactic bacteria are able to respond and orient along the direction of terrestrial or artificial magnetic field, a behavior referred to as magneto- taxis. In the majority of magnetotactic bacteria, the magnetosomes are 25–120 nm in d…

Hydrological character and sea-current structure in the front of Amery Ice Shelf

Hydrological character and Sea-current profiles structure are studied andanalyzed in sea-area of the front of Amery Ice Shelf,Prydz Bay with LADCP,CTDdata.These LADCP,CTD data were acquired during the 19th Chinese Antarctic Sci-entific Expedition.Results of this study agree with that,there exist four differentkinds of water masses in the area of the front of Amery Ice Shelf in the summer of Ant-arctica.Current distribution presents a semi-circumfluence which flows in at the eastand flows out in the west.Moreover,clockwise and anti-clockwise vortices werefound in upper layer and mid-layer in the Prydz Bay.Western areas of these anti-clockwise vortices are positions of inflows from Prydz Bay to Amery Ice Shelf.Thesource of these inflows is the coastal westward current originated in the east of PrydzBay.All these characteristics come down to the pattern of circumfluence,ice meltrate under Ice Shelf,scale of Ice Shelf water production and form of water exchangesbetween area of Ice Shelf and area of Prydz Bay.     

横断山区地质构造分区

HD 105020 is probably a long-period binary

Archer declared HD 105020 to be an Algol-type binary with a K-type main star and a period as short as two days. This, if confirmed, would be very significant. We made 21 observations of this star on three nights in 1984 using the 2.0-m telescope and Reticon system of McDonald Observatory, and 3 observations on two nights in 1991 using the 2.1-m telescope with TI2 CCD system of Kitt peak Observatory and found (1) that the radial velocity varied little over successive nights and the spin velocity to be small, hence it cannot be an Algol star with a two-day period and (2) that the radial velocity varied considerably at different times, and that the star could well be a spectroscopic binary with a period of about 20 days.

Stresses due to vertical subsurface loading for an inhomogeneous cross‐anisotropic half‐space

In this article, we present the solutions for the stresses induced by four different loads associated with an axially loaded pile in a continuously inhomogeneous cross‐anisotropic half‐space. The planes of cross‐anisotropy are parallel to the horizontal surface of the half‐space, and the Young's and shear moduli are assumed to vary exponentially with depth. The four loading types are: an embedded point load for an end‐bearing pile, uniform skin friction, linear variation of skin friction, and non‐linear parabolic variation of skin friction for a friction pile. The solutions for the stresses due to the pile load are expressed in terms of the Hankel integral and are obtained from the point load solutions of the same inhomogeneous cross‐anisotropic half‐space which were derived recently by the authors (Int. J. Rock Mech. Min. Sci. 2003; 40 (5):667–685). A numerical procedure is proposed to carry out the integral. For the special case of homogeneous isotropic and cross‐anisotropic half‐space, the stresses predicted by the numerical procedure agree well with the solutions of Geddes and Wang (Geotechnique 1966; 16 (3):231–255; Soils Found. 2003; 43 (5):41–52). An illustrative example is also given to investigate the effect of soil inhomogeneity, the type and degree of soil anisotropy, and the four different loading types on the vertical normal stress. The presented solutions are more realistic in simulating the actual stratum of loading problem in many areas of engineering practice. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A comparison between cokriging and ordinary kriging: Case study with a polymetallic deposit

Cokriging is applied to the estimation of mineral resources in a polymetallic deposit. Several major steps, which should be taken in using cokriging, are highlighted as necessary practical considerations. The case study is related to an ultramafic copper-nickel deposit. Six elements, Cu, Ni, Au, Ag, Pt, and Pd, occurring in the deposit, are partitioned into three subgroups and the elements within each group are simultaneously estimated on the basis of over 4000 drill assays. A comparison was made between ordinary kriging and cokriging methods through cross-validation. The results show that cokriging has significantly improved the estimates of resources by reducing the overall estimation error by over 15% and the variance of error by over 20%.     

A new type of isotherm for zinc liquid-solid partitioning on δ−MnO2, γ−MnOOH and manganite in seawater

This article deals with the interaction of zinc with δ−MnO₂, γ−MnOOH and manganite existing in natural water systems. The mechanism of the reaction has been studied in detail. From the fact that the “ratio of ion exchange(%)-pH” graph is an “S shaped” curve, it is possible to deduce that the chemical reaction is of the nature of cation exchange. And since the pH range of ion exchange=4, it is possible to further deduce that the reaction can be explained by the mechanism of monovalence cation exchange. The main result of this article is the discovery of a new type of isotherm which has not been mentioned in previous literature here and abroad. This isotherm cannot be represented by any presently available adsorption isotherm equations in marine chemistry. The characteristics of this new type of isotherm are as follows: the isotherm has two “knees” and three “plateaus”, the heights of these three “plateaus” are in the ratio 1:2:3. In order to explain theoretically our new isotherm, this article suggests the application of the principle of interfacial stepwise ion exchange for liquid-solid distribution of minor elements on suspended particulate matter. The corresponding isotherm equation was derived from this theory. The results obtained in this article will be of theoretical guiding significance in the study of the marine geochemistry of zinc.

多层界面快速反演在高精度石油重力勘探中的应用

重力勘探作为一种快速普查方法，在深部地质构造研究、区域地质构造划分及找矿勘探中均已取得显著的地质效果。自８０年代后期，由于在重力测地工作中使用红外测距仪及高精度ＧＰＳ定位技术，确保了重力测点位置及高程有较高的精度；在重力观测中普遍采用目前世界上精度最高的Ｌａｃｏｓｔｅ型重力仪进行基点联测，采用对恒温系统改进后的Ｗｏｒｄｅｎ重力仪进行重力测点观测，使得重力测量的质量及精度都有了很大提高，为扩大重力法的应用提供了条件。本文给出的一例是；在我国某含油沉积盆地上，根据对实测１：２５０００高精度重力资料（布格重力异常总观测均方误差：６０×１０￣－８ｍ／ｓ￣２）的处理及约束信息下多层界面反演结果，确定有利油气聚集的圈闭范围，推断含油层的大致规模。
