蒙古戈壁阿尔泰巴音陶勒盖地区二长花岗岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

蒙古戈壁阿尔泰省巴音陶勒盖地区地处南戈壁-阿尔泰构造带南缘,区内构造活动活跃,中酸性侵入岩比较发育。采用LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年技术,对区内二长花岗岩中的锆石进行同位素年龄研究。阴极发光图像显示,锆石颗粒多为自形-半自形,且有明显的初始岩浆振荡环带,少见蚀变微区,结合较高的Th/U值(0.65~1.79),断定其为典型的岩浆成因锆石;30颗锆石的~(206)Pb/~(238)U年龄加权平均值为300.2±0.9Ma,显示二长花岗岩成岩时代为晚石炭世,代表了华力西中期的一次构造-岩浆事件,为约束南戈壁-阿尔泰构造带晚石炭世深成岩浆活动时限提供了新证据。     

蒙古科布多省阿拉腾索音博地区辉长岩LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义

蒙古科布多省阿拉腾索音博地区地处阿尔泰构造带南缘,由一系列弧盆系及增生杂岩带组成。区内发育一条近东西向辉长岩带,辉长岩15颗锆石分为2类:一类具明显条带韵律环带,一类内部均匀干净,二者均不具核边结构,不含包体,结合高Th/U值(0.46~0.68),确定为典型的基性岩浆锆石;锆石LA-ICP-MS年龄加权平均值为317.6±1.6Ma,厘定其成岩时代为晚石炭世。研究对比表明,该辉长岩带形成于板块俯冲碰撞的尾声阶段,是阿尔泰造山运动大背景下区域基性岩浆活动的产物。     

Application of Linear Mean-Square Estimation in Ocean Engineering

The attempt to obtain long-term observed data around some sea areas we concern is usually very hard or even impossible in practical offshore and ocean engineering situations. In this paper, by means of linear mean-square estimation method, a new way to extend short-term data to long-term ones is developed. The long-term data about concerning sea areas can be constructed via a series of long-term data obtained from neighbor oceanographic stations, through relevance analysis of different data series. It is effective to cover the insufficiency of time series prediction method’s overdependence upon the length of data series, as well as the limitation of variable numbers adopted in multiple linear regression model. The storm surge data collected from three oceanographic stations located in Shandong Peninsula are taken as examples to analyze the number-selection effect of reference oceanographic stations (adjacent to the concerning sea area) and the correlation coefficients between sea sites which are selected for reference and for engineering projects construction respectively. By comparing the N-year return-period values which are calculated from observed raw data and processed data which are extended from finite data series by means of the linear mean-square estimation method, one can draw a conclusion that this method can give considerably good estimation in practical ocean engineering, in spite of different extreme value distributions about raw and processed data.     

An integrative study of larval organogenesis of American shad <Emphasis Type="Italic">Alosa sapidissima</Emphasis> in histological aspects

We describe organogenesis at a histological level in American shad (Alosa sapidissima) larvae from 0 until 45 days after hatching (DAH). Larval development was divided into four stages based on the feeding mode, external morphological features, and structural changes in the organs: stage 1 (0–2 DAH), stage 2 (3–5 DAH), stage 3 (6–26 DAH) and stage 4 (27–45 DAH). At early stage 2 (3 DAH), American shad larvae developed the initial digestive and absorptive tissues, including the mouth and anal opening, buccopharyngeal cavity, oesophagus, incipient stomach, anterior and posterior intestine, differentiated hepatocytes, and exocrine pancreas. The digestive and absorptive capacity developed further in stages 2 to 3, at which time the pharyngeal teeth, taste buds, gut mucosa folds, differentiated stomach, and gastric glands could be observed. Four defined compartments were discernible in the heart at 4 DAH. From 3 to 13 DAH, the excretory systems started to develop, accompanied by urinary bladder opening, the appearance and development of primordial pronephros, and the proliferation and convolution of renal tubules. Primordial gills were detected at 2 DAH, the pseudobranch was visible at 6 DAH, and the filaments and lamellae proliferated rapidly during stage 3. The primordial swim bladder was first observed at 2 DAH and started to inflate at 9 DAH; from then on, it expanded constantly. The spleen was first observed at 8 DAH and the thymus was evident at 12 DAH. From stage 4 onwards, most organs essentially manifested an increase in size, number, and complexity of tissue structure.     

Stability study on the northern batter of MBC Open Pit using Plaxis 3D

Cracks appeared on the northern batter at Maddingley Brown Coal Open Pit Mine, Victoria, Australia, on 8 November 2013 and a 2-day rainfall event happened 5 days later. This study models the stability of the northern batter considering the effect of the rainfall event and an emergency buttress using finite element method (FEM) encoded in Plaxis 3D. It is found that the batter tended to lead to block sliding after overburden removal. The observed vertical crack would be a combined action of the overburden removal and groundwater flow. The simulated location of cracks agrees well with the actual location, and the simulated heave of the coal seam is in good agreement with the experience in Victoria brown coal open pit mining. The rainfall accelerated the development of the cracks. With the construction of the emergency buttress, the batter became stable that is in good agreement with the monitored data.
