AUFFINDUNG VON REIS IN EINER TONSCHERBE AUS EINER ETWA FNFTAUSEND-JHRIGEN CHINESISCHEN SIEDLUNG.

Von Professor GUNNAR ANDERSSON aufgefordert, haben wir versucht, Pflanzenreste in einigen von ihm (1923) gemachten Funden aus neolithischen und aeneolithischen Siedlungen in China zu identifizieren. Unter diesem Material befand sich eine Tonscherbe, die mit der Marke Y. S. Ⅺ versehen     

DEEP WELLS IN THE PEKING AREA

The underground water-supply of the plain of North Chihli is of sufficient importance to geologists and civil engineers to warrant the placing in readily available form of some data till now not easily accessible.     

西湖凹陷东部断阶带的地质结构与演化

通过对横断阶带的地震剖面的认真研究发现，作为西湖凹陷东部边界的东部阶带在渐新世末之前并不是一个统一体，只是在经过龙井运动一幕（Ｔ２）之后才形成今日面貌。断阶带是的钓鱼岛隆褶带中部存在经岩浆侵入而复杂化的早和三纪地层。断阶带上的局部构造大多数形成于渐新世末（Ｔ２），以断背斜、逆牵引背斜为主，大部分局部构造因岩岩浆侵入和断裂作用而复杂化，对油气的保存十分不利。     

Conservation of Mediterranean seascapes: analyses of existing protection schemes

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are aimed at managing and protecting marine environments. Their design, however, often disregards both a thorough knowledge of the distribution of habitats and assemblages and the use of proper experimental evaluations of the efficacy of MPAs by comparing protected vs. unprotected zones. About 200 MPAs have been recently instituted in the Mediterranean area, but the evidence of their efficacy is scant. The MPA of Torre Guaceto (Southern Adriatic Sea, Italy) is one of the rare cases of effective protection enforcement. The reserve was instituted more than 10 years ago, a period currently considered as sufficient to show responses by organisms to protection. The MPA is divided into a C zone, the general reserve, where many activities are permitted, a B zone, the partial reserve where restrictions increase and two A zones, the integral reserve where access is prohibited. The goals of the paper were to map the distribution of benthic assemblages to assess if they were properly represented in the differently protected zones, and to test the efficacy of protection by quantifying possible differences between the assemblages in two control areas and in the two A zones, where human impact is completely excluded. The analysis of habitat and assemblage distribution within the MPA showed that the zones with total protection do not include most valuable environmental types. Most of the considered variables (i.e. cover of substratum, number of taxa, and average abundance of the most common taxa) were not significantly different in and out of the A zones, at each time of sampling. Results, however, suggested a possible effect of protection in modifying patterns of abundance of sponges under Cystoseira canopy (more abundant in the fully protected zone). In the subtidal habitat, differences were found in the structure of the whole assemblage and in the abundance of encrusting coralline red algae (more abundant outside the fully protected area). Notwithstanding the correct general methodology employed in the study, a lack of statistical power could have a role in preventing the detection of ecologically relevant effects of protection. In some instances, data pooling allowed a discrimination between cases where there was clearly no effect of protection and cases where there might be. On this basis, the optimization of this experimental design should be considered in further studies. In any case, if the goals of MPAs have not been clearly stated, efficacy of protection might prove very difficult to test even with the use of sound experimental designs.     

海上净化实验舱

已报道的关于大洋水中某些痕量金属的基线浓度,总的说来是随着经历的年代而一直在减少的。这样,在文献中看到的大部分有关痕量金属浓度的数据就似乎没有什么价值,而只不过是污染水平的指标罢了,因为,实验室之间精心的相互校正实践已证明,只有严格净化的采样、操作和分析技术才会产生准确的数据。     

DNA strand breakage in mussels (Mytilus edulis L.) deployed in intertidal and subtidal zone in Reykjavík harbour

DNA single-strand breaks were analysed in the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis L.) deployed in intertidal and subtidal zones in the PAH contaminated Reykjavík harbour and at a reference site, Hvalfj?rethur, Iceland. DNA strand breaks were analysed by Comet assay in isolated gill and haemocyte cells from six mussels from each site and depth. Increased DNA damage in both gill cells and haemocytes were observed in mussels deployed in Reykjavík harbour compared to the reference site. Intertidal mussels from Reykjavík harbour had higher DNA damage in haemocytes compared to subtidal mussels. The Comet assay seems to be useful for measuring genotoxic exposure in mussels from the field, and that DNA damage might be higher in the intertidal zone either due to higher exposure to contaminants or because of physiological and biochemical responses to variations in oxygen availability.
