Seismic behavior of breakwaters on complex ground by numerical tests: Liquefaction and post liquefaction ground settlements

A large number of breakwaters have been constructed along coasts to protect humans and infrastructures from tsunamis.There is a risk that foundation soils of these structures may liquefy,or partially liquefy during the earthquake preceding a tsunami,which would greatly reduce the structures’capacity to resist the tsunami.It is necessary to consider not only the soil’s liquefaction behavior due to earthquake motions but also its post-liquefaction behavior because this behavior will affect the breakwater’s capacity to resist an incoming tsunami.In this study,numerical tests based on a sophisticated constitutive model and a soil-water coupled finite element method are used to predict the mechanical behavior of breakwaters and the surrounding soils.Two real breakwaters subjected to two different seismic excitations are examined through numerical simulation.The simulation results show that,earthquakes affect not only the immediate behavior of breakwaters and the surrounding soils but also their long-term settlements due to post-earthquake consolidation.A soil profile with thick clayey layers beneath liquefied soil is more vulnerable to tsunami than a soil profile with only sandy layers.Therefore,quantitatively evaluating the seismic behavior of breakwaters and surrounding soils is important for the design of breakwater structures to resist tsunamis.     

吉林省和龙地区鸡南BIF型铁矿床含矿建造地球化学特征及形成时代

鸡南铁矿床位于吉林省和龙地区,地处华北克拉通北缘与兴蒙造山带接壤的龙岗地块北部,是东北地区发现较早的BIF型铁矿床之一。该矿床铁矿体主要呈层状、似层状、扁豆状赋存于鞍山群鸡南组上段中部层位,含矿岩石以黑云斜长片麻岩、角闪黑云斜长片麻岩、黑云角闪斜长片麻岩及斜长角闪岩为主,为角闪岩相的中低级区域变质岩系;主要矿石类型为条带状磁铁石英岩型和块状磁铁角闪岩型。为确定该矿床含矿建造的原岩、变质时代及构造背景,重点对含矿岩系中的斜长角闪岩进行了岩石地球化学和锆石U-Pb年代学研究。结果表明：斜长角闪岩的地球化学特征表现为富集大离子亲石元素、轻微富集重稀土元素;主量元素质量分数与中性-基性岩类基本相似,结合原岩恢复图解,判断其原岩类型为亚碱性玄武岩（拉斑玄武岩）,形成于弧后盆地背景;LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学研究中,2个较老的锆石测点年龄分别为（2 468±15）和（2 469±9）Ma,代表区内峰期变质年龄（约2 460 Ma）,26个锆石测点的测年数据较为集中,加权平均年龄为（2 275±25）Ma,代表区内退变质年龄。通过与国内外典型BIF型铁矿床的对比研究认为,区内的鸡南铁矿与官地铁矿同属Algoma型铁矿床。     

Isolation via enrichment and characterization of ten polymorphic microsatellite loci in the cuttlefish, Sepiella maindroni de Rochebruns

Ten novel polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed using an enrichment and colony hybridization protocol and characterized for the cuttlefish, Sepiella maindroni. Polymorphism was explored by using 30 individuals from the coastal waters of Zhanjiang, Guangdong province, China, in December 2007. The number of alleles ranged from 5 to 13. The ranges of observed and expected heterozygosity were from 0.578 9 to 1.000 0 and 0.682 8 to 0.925 7, respectively, and the average polymorphic information content (PIC) was 0.778 5. These microsatellite loci will certainly facilitate the detection of the genetic variation and population structure of S. maindroni.     

Intraspecific Diversity of Aureobasidium pullulans Strains from Different Marine Environments

Totally more than 500 yeast strains were isolated from seawater, sea sediments, mud of sea salterns, marine fish guts and marine algae. The results of routine and molecular biology identification methods show that nine strains among these marine yeasts belong to Aureobasidium pullulans, although the morphologies of their colonies are very different. The marine yeasts isolated from different marine environments indicate that A. pullulans is widely distributed in different environmental conditions. These Aureobasidium pullulans strains include A. pullulans 4#2, A. pullulans N13d, A. pullulans HN3-11, A. pullulans HN2-3, A. pullulans JHSc,A. pullulans HN4.7, A. pullulans HN5.3, A. pullulans HN6.2 and A. pullulans W13a. A. pullulans 4#2 could produce cellulase and single cell protein. A. pullulans N13d could produce protease, lipase, amylase and cellulase. Both A. pullulans HN3-11 and A. pullulans HN2-3 were able to produce protease, lipase and cellulase. A. pullulans JHSc could secrete cellulase and killer toxin. Both A.pullulans HN4.7 and A. pullulans HN5.3 could yield lipase and cellulase. A. pullulans W13a was able to secrete extracellular amylase and cellulase while A. pullulans HN4.7 and A. pullulans N13d could produce siderophores. This means that different A. pullulans strains from different marine environments have different physiological characteristics, which may be applied in many different biotechnological industries.     

内蒙古额仁陶勒盖银矿水-岩相互作用及矿石沉淀氢氧同位素研究

该文系统分析了内蒙古额仁陶勒盖银矿石英、蚀变岩石的氢氧同位素组成，蚀变岩石δ18O 和 δD值分别为5.2‰到-7.3‰和-133‰到-155‰之间。矿物包体的δD值为-141‰到-147‰之间。很低的δ18O 和 δD值，暗示出是大所降水-岩石交换体系中形成的成矿流体。脉石英的δ18O值与蚀变岩石的δ18O值相比，前者普遍低于后者，因而暗示可能存在两期成矿流体。     

Occurrence and diversity of Candida genus in marine environments

A total of 317 yeast isolates from seawater, sediments, mud of salterns, guts of marine fishes and marine algae were obtained. The results of routine identification and molecular characterization showed that six isolates among these marine yeasts belonged to Candida genus as Candida intermedia for YA01a, Candida parapsilosis for 3eA2, Candida quercitrusa for JHSb, Candia rugosa for wl8, Candida zeylanoides for TJY13a, and Candida membranifaciens for W14-3. Isolates YA01a (Candida intermedia), wl8 (Candida rugosa), 3eA2 (Candida parapsilosis), and JHSb (Candida quercitrusa) were found producing cell-bound lipase, while isolate W14-3 (Candida membranifaciens) producing riboflavin. These marine yeast Candida spp. seem to have wide potential applications in biotechnology.     

吉林延边天宝山矿集区东风北山钼矿床流体包裹体特征与矿床成因

东风北山钼矿床位于延边天宝山矿集区东北部,已探明的浅部石英脉型钼矿体均受黑云母石英闪长岩中的构造裂隙控制,经历了石英—辉钼矿阶段、石英—多金属硫化物阶段和石英—方解石阶段。含矿石英脉中主要发育富液相、富气相、含CO2三相、含子矿物三相和少量纯CO2五种类型包裹体。石英—辉钼矿阶段包裹体类型多样,且具有相似的均一温度,表明流体演化的过程中发生了沸腾作用,流体沸腾是导致Mo元素沉淀富集成矿的主要机制。包裹体气相成分除H2O以外还含有部分CO2和少量的CH4,表明成矿流体属于中高温、中高盐度的H2O-Na Cl±CO2±CH4流体体系。综合分析认为,该矿床已探明的脉型矿体应属斑岩型钼矿成矿作用的浅部结果,含矿黑云母石英闪长岩体的深部或外围应存在成矿斑岩体,其中细脉浸染型钼矿化是进一步研究和地质找矿的重点。     

西藏赛角铜金矿闪长岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄、Hf同位素和地球化学特征及成矿意义

赛角铜金矿是西藏多龙超大型铜金矿集区的组成矿床之一,目前对其成岩成矿时代、矿床成因等方面的认识程度还很低,制约了对多龙矿集区成矿潜力的全面认识。对赛角闪长岩进行LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Th-Pb同位素、全岩主量和微量元素、锆石Hf同位素测试。测得闪长岩中锆石U-Pb年龄为120.5±1.2Ma,该年龄被解释为岩浆结晶年龄。全岩主量和微量元素分析显示,闪长岩为中钾—高钾钙碱性岩石,富集轻稀土元素和大离子亲石元素,亏损重稀土元素和高场强元素,具有活动大陆边缘弧岩浆岩的特征。锆石Hf同位素分析结果表明,锆石εHf(t)值为+5.4~+12.1,平均值为+9.0,二阶段Hf模式年龄为373~743Ma,平均值为545Ma,表现出明显的幔源特征。赛角铜金矿的形成受控于班公湖—怒江洋陆俯冲体系,成岩成矿岩浆是板片流体交代的地幔楔部分熔融形成的基性母岩浆与新生下地壳部分熔融形成的酸性岩浆混合的产物。     

生物肥部分替代化肥对甘蓝(Brassica oleracea)养分吸收、光合作用以及品质的影响

采用大田试验,研究了化肥减量20%~40%、配施生物肥对春茬甘蓝(Brassica oleracea)生长、养分吸收利用、光合作用以及品质的影响。结果表明:与当地施肥量(底肥:N 139.2kg·hm-2,P2O5255kg·hm-2,K2O 93.6kg·hm-2;追肥:N 208.8kg·hm-2)相比,化肥减量并配施生物肥使甘蓝生长前期、后期的茎粗变小;对甘蓝的叶片数、冠幅投影面积无显著影响;叶片的气孔导度、净光合速率均与对照无显著差异;促进了甘蓝叶球生长,叶球中硝酸盐和可溶性固形物含量降低,Vc含量增加;甘蓝叶球、叶片和根系氮含量降低,氮在叶球分配的比例提高,在叶片、根系分配的比例降低。化肥减量并配施生物肥提高了幼苗株高、增加了茎粗,气孔导度和净光合速率升高,降低了硝酸盐和可溶性固形物含量、叶球氮含量和根系的钾含量。
