Groundwater investigation on sand dunes area in southern part of Vietnam by magnetic resonance sounding

In the last five years, magnetic resonance sounding (MRS), as a non-invasive geophysical method, has emerged as a new technique for ground water investigation in Vietnam. In this paper, we present the general theoretical basis of this method together with acquisition, processing, and interpretation of the MRS data. We show a case study of MRS surveys in sand dunes area in order to characterize aquifers situated in the southern part of Vietnam. From the interpretation of MRS soundings we delimited an aquifer layer in the subsurface with strong lateral variations for which we determined the depth at 44 m and water content between 3% and 9.5%. The longitudinal relaxation constant T*₁ is about 250 m s, while the transverse relaxation T*₂ is between 150–200 m s. That indicates fine to medium grain size and thus low to medium hydraulic permeability. These results are confirmed by the observations from the well LK1 between 45 to 70 m. The results of other MRS measurements showed the presence of a low water bearing aquifer and were confirmed by the observations in two other wells.     

古尔班通古特沙漠南缘苔藓结皮中可培养真菌的多样性

为了解古尔班通古特沙漠南缘苔藓结皮中可培养真菌的多样性,运用稀释平板法和基于ITS-rDNA基因序列的系统发育分析,将得到的基因序列与NCBI数据库GenBank中的序列进行相似性比较并构建系统发育树。结果显示,从古尔班通古特沙漠南缘苔藓结皮中共分离得到24株菌落形态各异的真菌,分属于11属21种,绝大多数属于子囊菌亚门和半知菌亚门。其中,青霉属（Penicillium）和链格孢属（Alternaria）为优势菌群,茎点霉属（Phoma）、曲霉菌属（Aspergillus）、镰刀孢菌属（Fusarium）为常见属;有些种类的真菌具有耐热及特殊产酶活性。

Reproducibility of a regional geological map derived from geochemical maps, using data mining techniques: with application to Chungbuk province of Korea

Interpolated geochemical maps contain problems of sample catchments and vacant sample areas. However, the resemblance of these maps with regional geological maps implies that there are strong correlations between them. A conceptual model of the geological units from multivariate chemical elements is constructed by decision tree technique. The reproducibility of the geological map with the conceptual model is about 80% in the Chungbuk province map of Korea. Statistical uncertainties indicate that rock units could be predicted reasonably well by decision tree if the geological map polygon is big enough. Misinterpreted points are due to interpolation problems between samples from adjacent rock units and from different sample catchments. In the Chungbuk example, the latter is less significant. The size of the map polygon is one of the most critical factors, and a polygon size greater than 50 km² is reliable for such analyses for the Chungbuk example. Combined lithologies in a single mapping unit are not critically affected by decision tree prediction.
