On the stability of close binaries in hierarchical three-body systems

The Hill-type stability (cf. closure of the zero-velocity curves in the circular restricted three-body problem) of general hierarchical three-body systems is examined analytically in the case where the total mass of the binary is small in comparison to the mass of the external body (e.g. systems of the type Planet-Satellite-Sun, Planet-Planet-Star, etc.). This is compared with results derived by Szebehely, Markellos and Roy in the Planet-Satellite-Sun case of the circular restricted three-body problem. It is demonstrated how the Hill-type stability is affected by the sense of revolution of the binary, i.e. corotational or contrarotational, and the mass ratio within the binary. The effect of the difference in longitudes of the bodies in their orbits is also examined.     

Effect of reproductive state and sex on movement and food consumption of western rock lobster (Panulirus cygnus) in a tank environment

The catchability of western rock lobsters (Panulirus cygnus) during the spawning season (October and November) may be affected by their reproductive state. In this study, movement and food consumption of males and females of different reproductive states held in laboratory tanks were measured as proxies for catchability. Density of lobsters was found to influence both movement and food consumption. Solitary animals and, to a lesser extent, two lobsters per tank, were more sedentary and consumed significantly less food than animals at a density of three or four specimens per tank. Tests using three animals per tank confirmed that mature, unmated, and ovigerous females carrying early stage eggs moved more frequently away from their shelters than males or females carrying late stage eggs (P < 0.0001, d.f. = 3). Further, unmated females and females with early stage eggs recorded significantly higher food consumption (P < 0.0061, d.f. = 3) compared with males or females carrying late stage eggs. The greater time spent away from shelter and also food consumption make unmated females and females with early stage eggs likely to be more catchable than males or females with late stage eggs. As catchability is commonly used to obtain population estimates from survey data, these results have implications for surveys which use catch rates of breeding animals as indicators of egg production.     

Reproductive cycle of Ophiopholis mirabilis (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea) in Zhangzi Island area,northern Yellow Sea

Ophiopholis mirabilis is a common species with a high population density on the western coasts of the northern Pacifi c Ocean.The number of O.mirabilis has been increasing recently in the scallop aquaculture zone(the Zhangzi Island area,northern Yellow Sea)in China.To explore the mechanism of its population variation,the reproductive cycle of O.mirabilis was investigated in this area(39°04′N;122°51′E)from February 2017 through January 2018 and determined by the monthly gonad index(GI),histological examinations of the gonads and the oocyte size-frequency distribution.O.mirabilis had a clear annual reproductive cycle that was synchronous between males and females.Sea temperature and food availability played important roles in O.mirabilis reproduction.The GI value was less reliable for determining reproductive activity in O.mirabilis because the nutritive tissues within the gonads may be utilized to synthesize gametes,leading to a decrease in GI during maturation.The histological results also show that abundant nutritive phagocytes were present in the gonads of O.mirabilis,which,together with the germ cells,aff ected the weight of the gonads.In addition,the mature oocytes of O.mirabilis were relatively small(75–150μm),indicating that the larval development was planktotrophic.This study provided insights into the reproductive patterns and biology of O.mirabilis and is an essential basis for the quantity control of this species in aquaculture areas.     

辽东兰花岭地区古元古代I型花岗岩类与辽吉A型花岗岩对比研究

辽东半岛是华北克拉通胶-辽-吉古元古代活动带的重要组成部分,古元古代经历了复杂的构造演化过程,并记录了多期岩浆-变质作用,约2.2 Ga的辽吉A型花岗岩和1.89~1.85 Ga的巨斑状花岗岩、正长岩分别标志着辽东古元古代造山作用的开端和结束。最新研究显示,2.20~2.15 Ga的岩浆作用形成了2种不同类型的花岗岩,它们可能具有不同的岩石成因和构造意义。在青城子铅锌矿集区北部采集的兰花岭、白砬子花岗闪长岩和黄泊辉绿岩,锆石U−Pb年龄分别为2177±19 Ma、2129±36 Ma、1876±29 Ma。花岗闪长岩的岩石成因类型、地球化学特征与典型的约2.2 Ga的辽吉A型花岗岩明显不同,属于弱过铝质、低钾钙碱性—碱性岩石,Zr、Hf、Nb、Rb含量较低,K2O/Na2O值、稀土元素总量极低,为典型的I型花岗岩类。根据锆石Lu−Hf同位素分析,εHf (t)值为−5.1~9.0,二阶段Hf模式年龄tDM2为2089~2817 Ma,岩浆源区为约2.5 Ga的太古宙地壳物质和少量软流圈地幔物质。兰花岭地区花岗闪长岩具备岛弧或活动大陆边缘的地球化学亲缘属性,可能形成于弧岩浆俯冲挤压环境;结合形成于伸展环境的A型条痕状花岗岩特征,认为约2.2 Ga辽东地区古元古代活动带呈现总体伸展、局部挤压的构造环境,为洋壳板块向龙岗地块俯冲碰撞过程中或碰撞后的弧后盆地。     

农村劳动力转移就业的时空路径——以安徽省4个样本村为例

借鉴时间地理学理论与方法,提出农村劳动力转移就业时空路径概念。以安徽省4个样本村为例,使用ArcGIS、SPSS等软件进行数据分析,得出农村劳动力转移就业时空路径的基本类型与特征:① 农村劳动力依据时空路径特征可分为稳定型、逐步稳定型、漂泊不定型、回流型、逐步开拓型、断续型六种类型;② 4个样本村劳动力打工时空路径演化有明显的地域差异;③ 21世纪初期是农村劳动力全面接受打工就业方式的时期,就业行业主要集中在建筑业、制造业、服务业,“老家亲戚、朋友”是最重要的打工媒介;④ 农村劳动力在打工地和家乡间的流动节律有“春节型”、“节假日型”、“休息日型”、“每日型”四种类型;⑤ 农村劳动力转移就业具有明显的空间指向和粘性特征,家乡是重要的结点空间,社会经济地理位置是地域差异形成的重要原因。     

崇明岛东滩湿地芦苇光合作用对土壤水盐因子的响应

2015年3~10月,在崇明岛东滩湿地设置7块采样地,以不同水盐条件下生长的芦苇(Phragmites australis)为材料,应用便携式光合系统分析仪(Li-6400),对芦苇的光响应特征进行实地测定,探讨芦苇光合过程对干旱和盐胁迫的响应机理。结果表明:1各月采样日的水位与土壤电导率显著负相关(n=420,p0.01),适当增加土壤水位,有利于降低土壤电导率,从而缓解植物盐胁迫伤害;28月21日的芦苇叶片净光合速率、蒸腾速率和气孔导度与水位显著正相关(n=42,p0.01),而与土壤电导率显著负相关(n=42,p0.01);胞间CO2浓度与水位和土壤电导率不相关。当水位高于-50 cm,净光合速率随着水位下降而降低,非气孔因素可能是净光合速率下降的主要原因;当水位低于-50 cm时,土壤电导率高于10 m S/cm,叶片蒸腾速率快速降低,水分利用效率不断提高,芦苇叶片以较低的净光合速率来适应干旱胁迫和盐胁迫;芦苇叶片通过降低最大净光合速率、暗呼吸速率、光补偿点和光饱和点等光合生理特征来适应干旱胁迫和盐胁迫;芦苇叶片净光合速率和最大净光合速率对土壤水盐因子具有高度相关性,可以作为土壤水盐胁迫程度的反应指标。因此,在芦苇快速生长阶段,合理调控水位,对芦苇光合作用具有重要意义。
