HOW AND WHERE TO SEARCH THE OLDEST MAN IN CHINA.

During the summer of 1923, we were so lucky F. Licent and myself as to get, in three different places, the first records of the palaeolithic Man in China.     

A NEW APPROACH TO CONFIRMATION BY INFRARED SPECTROMETRY

In the series of analytical techniques for identification of chemical substances,infrared spectrometrypresents by far the highest information content.However,the information is most complicated too.Itconcerns a multitude of band positions,band intensities and band shapes,which,moreover,can bedisturbed by matrix and other effects.The high redundancy,however,allows conclusions to be made bya qualitative,subjective procedure.IR is often used to prove the equality between a sample and a reference material,e.g.in quality controlof a production process.In forensic control,the question to be answered is mostly not to prove equality,but whether or not the presence of a compound in a sample,e.g.a drug,can be proved.Moreover,testinghas to be performed according to objective rules.To fulfil these requirements,a new retrieval algorithm,the‘Adequate Peaks Search’,is presented.Itconcerns representing the reference spectra by sets of adequate peak positions and the sample spectrumby a set of all peak positions,whereafter the cross-sections of the sample set and the reference sets aredetermined.The concept‘adequate peak’is defined and criteria have been formulated to evaluate theresults into a positive(presence of the analyte is proved) or negative(presence is not proved)conclusion.The detection limit when the Adequate Peaks Search(APS)method was applied was four to seven timeslower than that attained by a number of experts.     

Notes on Continental Geology

Over a continental area, the sediments are mostly found, either asoriginally spread by water along the slopes (gravels or loams: fan-deposits), or as accumulated by streams in the bottom of the basins(lake-deposits, or fluvial plains), either as disseminated by wind (sand-dunes and loess deposits).     

扬子陆块东南缘民乐-古丈一带钒、钼矿地质特征及找矿方向

民乐-古丈一带牛蹄塘组下段黑色岩系分布广泛,该岩系沿古丈复背斜成北东向展布,以富含钒钼矿为特征。钒钼矿形成受地层岩性岩相、构造多因素控制,具有正常海水沉积、热水沉积及生物化学沉积多重特点。本文通过该岩系地质特征研究,结合实地勘查成果,提出了大龙-西岐一带、凤鸣溪-丫角山一带以及天桥山-黄金寨一带三个重要的钒钼矿找矿地段。     

川东北普光地区茅口组白云岩发育特征

近年来,在川东北普光地区中二叠统茅口组白云岩储层中发现了良好的气显示,揭示了新的勘探领域。基于钻井岩心、薄片等研究认为:川东北普光地区茅口组白云岩类型主要为灰质(含灰)粉—细晶白云岩,局部见灰质(含灰)砂屑白云岩,偶见粗晶白云岩;粉—细晶白云石多呈半自形—自形晶,残余粒间孔、晶间孔缝发育。纵向上,研究区内茅口组白云岩主要发育在茅二段(明1井最厚,达18.1 m,一般钻井厚度10 m左右)和茅一段顶部,茅三段白云岩厚度较薄。横向上个别层段白云岩分布可对比,但整体可对比性较差;平面上,茅口组白云岩主要分布于双石庙构造和东岳寨构造,其次是东南方向的清溪场构造和宣汉东构造。研究区内茅口组白云岩分布与沉积作用及断裂系统均有一定联系,在台内滩与北东向、北西向2组断裂叠合的部位,白云岩相对更发育。     

额尔古纳成矿带成矿元素地球化学场特征及其与成矿的关系

额尔古纳成矿带是我国东北部重要的有色金属、贵金属成矿带,位于西伯利亚板块东南缘蒙古—兴安造山带内。区域上大面积出露中生代火山岩及沉积碎屑岩,而元古宙和古生界则零星出露。岩浆活动较为强烈,有海西期、燕山早期和晚期。研究表明,前中生代地层中富含Cu、Pb、Zn、Ag、Mo,其中,上元古界碳质板岩含Ag高达27×10-6。这为燕山期成矿作用奠定了部分物质基础。燕山期构造—岩浆活动,使这些成矿元素在一些岩石中进一步富集。燕山早期形成的超浅成斑岩富含Cu、Mo,是斑岩型Cu、Mo矿的成矿母岩,其围岩主要是富含Mo的燕山早期黑云母花岗岩;晚期形成的超浅成侵入岩富含Ag、Pb、Zn,是银铅锌矿的成矿母岩,其围岩为富含Ag、Zn的南平组(J2)或富含Ag、Pb、Cu的塔木兰沟组(J3)。     

一次强降水过程中自动站故障的原因分析及处理方法

该文以铜仁站一次大暴雨天气过程中自动站故障排除实例,阐述了故障的检查步骤和排除技巧,并对出现故障的原因进行了分析,同时对如何预防地温传感器因进水发生短路提出了相应的防水措施,由于本次故障情况具有一定的典型性,经过故障的排查处理与经验总结,对于今后避免自动站出现类似情况具有较好的指导性,对增强基层台站快速、高效处理故障能力,减小故障造成数据缺测损失具有十分重要的意义。     

南海北部陆缘东部的地壳结构

本文利用中、美联合调查南海海洋地质项目所采集的双船地震扩展排列剖面资料,研究了南海北部陆缘的地壳结构．其特征为：从陆架到深海平原,地壳呈阶梯状减薄,地壳厚度分别为２６-２８ｋｍ,２３-２４ｋｍ,１３-１５ｋｍ,以及南海洋盆中５-７ｋｍ厚的洋壳,反映了地壳在新生代早期是幕式拉张的．地壳底部存在高速地壳层,地震波速度为７．１-７．４ｋｍ／ｓ．它是在地壳被拉张后,上地幔熔融物质上涌到地壳底部冷却而形成的．
