Biomineralization of Uranium: A Simulated Experiment and Its Significance

A simulated experimental reduction of U^v1 and the synthesis of uraninite by a sulfate-reducing bacteria,Desulfovibrio desulfuricans DSM 642, are first reported. The simulated physicochemical experimental conditions were:35℃, pH=7.0-7.4, corresponding to the environments of formation of the sandstone-hosted interlayer oxidation-zone type uranium deposits in Xinjiang, NW China. Uraninite was formed on the surface of the host bacteria after a one-week‘s incubation. Therefore, sulfate-reducing bacteria, which existed extensively in Jurassic sandstone-producing environments,might have participated in the biomineralization of this uranium deposit. There is an important difference in the orderdisorder of the crystalline structure between the uraninite produced by Desulfovibrio desulfuricans and naturally occurring uraninite. Long time and slow precipitation and growth of uraninite in the geological environment might have resulted in larger uraninite crystals, with uraninite nanocrystals arranged in order, whereas the experimentally produced uraninite is composed of unordered uraninite nanocrystals which, in contrast, result from the short time span of formation and rapid precipitation and growth of uraninite. The discovery has important implications for understanding genetic significance in mineralogy, and also indicates that in-situ bioremediation of U-contaminated environments and use of biotechnology in the treatment of radioactive liquid waste is being contemplated.     

重庆市涪陵区厚层软硬相间岩体失稳模式

重庆市涪陵区厚层软硬相间公路高边坡的详细调查发现,不同的岩层产状,不同开挖方向其斜坡变形破坏模式不同。本文根据野外实例总结了不同岩层产状与开挖方向对应的破坏模式,平缓层状斜坡破坏方式有滑塌式崩塌、倾倒式崩塌和坠落式崩塌;中倾角层状斜坡破坏方式有顺层滑移和崩塌;高陡倾角层状斜坡坡破坏方式有滑移式崩塌和坠落式崩塌。表明斜坡变形破坏地质力学模式与斜坡岩体结构之间存在着密切的成生联系。通过对不同倾角的斜坡岩体破坏方式研究,可以达到系统评价预测斜坡稳定性的目的;通过公路开挖对不同产状岩层可能造成灾害的预期,可以采用不同的预防措施,避免大型灾害的发生。     

关于岩石圈有效弹性厚度的地质理解

简要回顾了岩石圈均衡理论的发展及岩石圈区域均衡和挠曲理论在岩石圈动力学研究中起的作用,阐述岩石圈有效弹性厚度(Te)的概念和特征。强调Te的研究是地质学和地球物理学的紧密结合,即通过岩石圈挠曲理论和区域均衡原理,对地形和重力资料进行谱分析计算,来获取岩石圈的物理性质信息。计算的Te(和相应的挠曲刚度)是岩石圈等效的强度,与爆破地震、地震层析成像和大地电磁测深等方法观测到的岩石圈和地壳厚度不同,它们之间只有通过岩石圈的屈服刚度包络面(YSE)才能比较。大洋和大陆岩石圈YSE的理论计算,表明Te值显著小于地震学的地壳和岩石圈厚度。尤其对于大陆岩石圈,地壳厚度、热年龄和应变率均可显著影响岩石圈的强度。本文还以滇西为实例介绍了对相干值曲线计算的新认识和当前岩石圈Te研究的最新趋势。     

Three-dimensional analysis of ozone and PM<Subscript>2.5</Subscript> distributions obtained by observations of tethered balloon and unmanned aerial vehicle in Shanghai,China

A lightweight unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a tethered balloon platform were jointly used to investigate three-dimensional distributions of ozone and PM_2.5 concentrations within the lower troposphere (1000 m) at a localized coastal area in Shanghai, China. Eight tethered balloon soundings and three UAV flights were conducted on May 25, 2016. Generalized additive models (GAMs) were used to quantitatively describe the relationships between air pollutants and other obtained parameters. Field observations showed that large variations were captured both in the vertical and horizontal distributions of ozone and PM_2.5 concentrations. Significant stratified layers of ozone and PM_2.5 concentrations as well as wind directions were observed throughout the day. Estimated bulk Richardson numbers indicate that the vertical mixing of air masses within the lower troposphere were heavily suppressed throughout the day, leading to much higher concentrations of ozone and PM_2.5 in the planetary boundary layer (PBL). The NO and NO₂ concentrations in the experimental field were much lower than that in the urban area of Shanghai and demonstrated totally different vertical distribution patterns from that of ozone and PM_2.5. This indicates that aged air masses of different sources were transported to the experimental field at different heights. Results derived from the GAMs showed that the aggregate impact of the selected variables for the vertical variations can explain 94.3% of the variance in ozone and 94.5% in PM_2.5. Air temperature, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure had the strongest effects on the variations of ozone and PM_2.5. As for the horizontal variations, the GAMs can explain 56.3% of the variance in ozone and 57.6% in PM_2.5. The strongest effect on ozone was related to air temperature, while PM_2.5 was related to relative humidity. The output of GAMs also implied that fine aerosol particles were in the stage of growth in the experimental field, which is different from ozone (aged air parcels of ozone). Geographical parameters influenced the horizontal variations of ozone and PM_2.5 concentrations by changing underlying surface types. The differences of thermodynamic properties between land and sea resulted in quick changes of PBL height, air temperature and dew point over the coastal area, which was linked to the extent of vertical mixing at different locations. The results of GAMs can be used to analyze the sources and formation mechanisms of ozone and PM_2.5 pollutions at a localized area.

缝合线成因新认识

传统观点认为,碳酸盐岩中的缝合线是在岩石负载或构造应力作用下压溶形成的,是一种化学压实作用的产物。对缝合线进行综合研究,发现其具有“四性特征”,即完整性、亲烃性、排孔性及胀裂汇聚性。综合以上“四性”认为,缝合线主要是岩石在负重或构造应力作用下烃类（或泥质）使岩石发生胀裂形成的一种锯齿状裂缝,是烃类（或泥质）开辟的排烃通道,压溶作用对缝合线的贡献还有待研究。与碳酸盐岩相比,泥岩不发育缝合线,主要在于泥岩优势孔隙半径较大,烃类可以通过微孔以渗透方式向外排放,不需要形成缝合线。通过缝合线形成机理探讨,查明了碳酸盐岩与泥岩排烃方式的区别,进而对碳酸盐岩与泥岩封盖性进行对比。

Effects of a proline solution cover on the geochemical and mineralogical characteristics of high-sulfur coal gangue

Batch experiments were conducted to comparatively evaluate the inhibition effects and mechanisms of a low-concentration (1%) proline solution cover on the release of pollutants from high-sulfur coal gangue. High-sulfur coal gangue was continuously immersed in a proline solution and in deionized water (as a control treatment) for 540 days. The results showed that the coal gangue in the control treatment was oxidized and generated leachate with poor water qualities, i.e., the leachate exhibited lower pH values, higher redox potential values, higher pollutant concentrations (SO₄^2?, Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn), and high levels of acidophilic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. However, compared to the control treatment, the addition of the proline solution (1%) significantly improved the water quality of the leachate by significantly reducing the Eh values, the pollutant concentrations (SO₄^2?, Fe²⁺, Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn), and the activity of acidophilic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and by significantly increasing the pH value to neutral. The proline treatment significantly inhibited the oxidation of coal gangue and the release of pollutants, mainly by inhibiting the activity of acidophilic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and by altering the heavy metal fractions and the mineralogical characteristics. Therefore, in engineering practice, workers should consider using an environmental friendly aqueous proline solution cover to achieve the in-situ control of pollutant releases from coal gangue dumps.     

基于SIFT的特征均匀提取改进研究

针对现在基于图像的三维重建面临的图像数据尺度不一和影像分辨率增高特征点增加两个问题,本文提出了基于SIFT的尺度均衡和均匀限制特征点数量的改进策略,通过采用给定特征点数量的方法来控制影像提取特征点的数量.同时根据高斯尺度增大与提取特征点数量成反比的特性,通过构建尺度与特征点数量的比例系数和给定特征点数量就可以获得影像的不同高斯尺度上提取的特征点数量.通过对影像进行格网划分,将提取特征点数量分配到每个格网.通过控制格网提取特征点数量的控制,可以在控制特征点提取数量的同时,获得更为均匀的特征点分布.实验证明,本文改进算法与SIFT算法相比,尺度分布更加均匀,空间分布的比例系数有30％左右的提升,提取特征点匹配的正确率有5％的提升,因此,本文改进算法在基于图像的三维重建中有一定程度的应用价值.
