A PRELIMINARY REPORT OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS ON THE SINO-TIBETAN BORDER OF SZECHWAN§

INTRODUCTION During the year 1930-31, while holding a schularship from the Harvard-Yenching Institute, I received permission from the Institute to engage in ethnological and anthropological research on behalf of the University Museum     

Interaction of Tectonic and Surface Geological Processes

1. Introduction to surface processesThe shape or morphology of Earth's surface is basically the result of the interplay between two competing forces - mountain building and erosion. Tectonic forces, driven by thermal energy from Earth's interior, cause the rocks of the crust to be folded, faulted and uplifted into high plateaus and mountain belts. As soon as uplift begins, the processes of erosion, driven by gravity, start to wear away the rocks. Masses of weathered rock move downhill under t…

用解析法计算烟囱的自振周期

建筑物和构筑物的震害预测与建 (构 )筑物的自振周期和场地土的卓越周期之间关系密切。对某些类型建筑物振动周期的确定前人已作了很多研究。 对于复杂系统和独特的高耸建筑物 (如烟囱 )的动力特性 ,已知的确定自振周期的建筑力学传统方法并不适用 ,但至今又没有研究出精确的计算分析方法 ,对此类构筑物的分析只能借助计算机采用近似数值法进行。寻求烟囱这种弯曲模型的频率是一个变分问题 ,这一问题是基于能量的观点采用有限单元 ( МКЭ)方法解决的。但因为数值方法的结果的可靠性取决于有限单元的离散化程度 ,这种情况下须将系统分为数…     

塞内加尔舌鳎仔鱼消化酶的发育

研究了投喂活饵料的塞内加尔舌鳎仔鱼从开始摄食到孵化后第1个月内消化酶活性的变化情况。孵化21d以内的仔鱼整体匀浆用于酶活力分析。孵化21d以后的仔鱼先解剖,取其胰脏和肠道,匀浆后用于酶活力分析。肠道刷缘膜上皮由肠道组织片段纯化得到。从孵化后2d到孵化后18d,胰脏和肠道酶类表现出动物发育的特征性模式：孵化后的前10d,酶活力增长,而后下降。孵化后21d到27d,碱性磷酸酶活力的大幅增加表明肠道细胞刷缘膜层正逐步发育。与此同时,细胞溶质酶(亮氨酸-丙氨酸肽酶)的活力下降。这种对立的模式体现了消化道的成熟过程以及成熟消化方式的形成。

“冻结”甲烷从海底中逸出

在２０世纪８０年代后期 ,冰核记录揭示出大约每隔１００ｋａ发生的由冰期到暖期的急剧气候变化可通过温室气体甲烷浓度的快速增加加以对比。最初 ,这些增高被认为是湿地环境的细菌作用造成的。Ｎｉｓｂｅｔ（１９９０）根据以水合物形式贮存在永冻地区和大陆边缘的数量巨大的甲烷提供了一个选择解释。他认为这种甲烷的大量释放可能触发冰期—间冰期的气候变化。Ｋｅｎｎｅｔｔ等（２０００）提供证据说明快速气候变化确实与加利福尼亚海岸滨外圣巴巴拉海盆水合物中的甲烷释放有关。在高压、低温以及足够高的气体浓度情况下 ,水分子形成笼形…     

大洋钻探计划调查进展

过去的一年 ,是大洋钻探计划面临挑战和取得有益成果的一年。这一年的主要目标是气候／古海洋学、区域地质构造和深部洋壳的研究。大洋钻探计划１７８航次在南极半岛外陆隆钻取的漂积物岩心所保留的连续的高分辨率沉积记录（回溯到大约１０Ｍａ前） ,反映了陆架边缘周期性搁浅的前进冰盖引起了冰川沉积物周期性地向上部陆坡输送。１８１航次对新西兰南部和东部进行调查 ,研究人员对晚第三纪沉积物高分辨率记录进行了有关南极环极海流／深层西部边界洋流演化的研究。与早期钻探成果（深海钻探计划２７７、２７８钻位）相结合 ,获得了该地区晚…
