Formation of large-scale dust lanes in spiral arms of galaxies

We consider the interaction of interstellar dust grains with a galactic shock in the gaseous component. Typical parameters of dust grains and spiral density waves imply that the formation of large-scale dust lanes at the front of a galactic shock is possible only in models taking into account a self-focusing phenomenon. In the case of an isothermal flow of interstellar gas through a spiral arm in a model with a gaseous disk of variable thickness, dust lanes can be projected onto the region of increased gas density, although this is not associated with a galactic shock. The dust density peak derived from the classical model of a galactic shock (isothermal flow and a constant thickness of the gaseous disk) is appreciably shifted downstream of the gas flow, so that it does not outline the gas density maximum.     

The late Tonian Zhaunkar granite complex of the Ulutau sialic massif,Central Kazakhstan

The crystallization age of Zhaunkar granites (829 ± 10 Ma) was determined by U–Pb zircon dating. Taking into account the data obtained earlier on the granite age (791 ± 7 Ma) in the Aktas Complex and the syenite age (673 ± 2 Ma) in the Karsakpai Complex, the Ulutau sialic massif is assumed to be composed of three igneous complexes formed during the Tonian–Cryogenian periods of the Neoproterozoic.     

沥青路面反射裂纹温度应力的数值模拟

考虑了沥青的黏弹性,结合传热学理论,通过有限元数值模拟研究了在温度场作用下反射裂纹的应力场,探讨了不同温度场及不同道路设计参数对裂纹温度应力的影响。研究表明,由于气温交替变化,基层裂纹附近应力大于沥青的抗拉强度,进而导致裂纹扩展到路面形成路面裂纹。提出了采用聚合物纤维土工织物阻裂方案,通过数值模拟验证了其有效性。     

Iodine differentiation between different sized fractions in natural waters

Membrane filtration technique was applied to study the distribution of iodine and some other chemical elements (iron, manganese, aluminum, and silicon) in natural waters between different sized fractions (>0.45, 0.45–0.22, 0.22–0.1, and <0.1 μm). The paper presents analysis of factors able to modify the proportions of the adsorbed and dissolved species of the elements in waters. It is proved that up to 90% of the total amount of the iodine ion occurs in aquatic environments in the form of dissolved species (according to the current standard, in the fraction < 0.45 μm), with approximately 49% of the total concentration corresponding to the fraction of <0.10 μm. An increase in the acidity of the waters and their enrichment in finely divided organic and mineral material, and also an increase in Fe and Mn concentrations, may increase in the concentrations of the trace element in the particulate matter (up to 26% of the total iodide concentration). The greatest variations in iodine distribution between different fractions are found in the surface waters.     

Paleogene and Neogene reference sections of Eastern Kamchatka

The available lithological and paleontological data are used to characterize key Cenozoic marine sections in two lithological–facies zones (Kamchatskii Mys Peninsula and southern Valaginskii Range) of the poorly investigated Eastern Kamchatka lithotectonic zone with their correlation and reconstruction of depositional environments at the ocean–continent transition during the Paleogene and Neogene.

基于综合指标法的中国生态系统服务保护有效性评价研究

将生态系统服务保护纳入到传统的以保护区为基础的自然保护之中是生态保护研究的新领域。利用综合指标方法,分析了中国从2000-2010年的4种生态系统服务时空变化特征;并对中国的七大生态保护和恢复区域的服务空间保护成效进行评价,提出了国家尺度上的生态系统服务保护优先性分级。主要结论为：① 中国的生态系统服务自西北向东南逐渐增加,显著增加区主要分布在黄土高原地区,显著减少区主要分布在东北及华北地区。黄土高原的生态系统服务提高主要是农田向草地和林地、草地向林地的转换引的;华北地区的降低主要是耕地的减少以及人工用地的增加引起的;东北地区是由于林地向耕地草地、耕地向湿地与人工用地的转换引起的。② 七大生态保护和恢复区的生态系统服务均为增加趋势而且显著增加面积大于减少面积;显著增加面积最大的为三北防护林工程区、最小的为重点生态功能区;显著减少最大为重要生态功能区、最小的为三北防护林工程区。而且,对服务的保护成效在重要生态功能区最高,其次为天然林保护工程区,其余区域均小于全国平均水平。③ 提出的生态系统服务保护优先性等级中,极高级别占到了国土面积的26.18%,保护的生态系统服务量占到全国总量的64.19%,保护成效为全国平均水平的2.47倍。
