低场核磁共振定量测定松散沉积物中含水量的方法

核磁共振通过测定体系中氢质子弛豫的T2谱来确定液态水的含量。采用低场核磁共振技术定量测定松散沉积物体系中的含水量,探讨了沉积物粒径、黏土矿物种类与含量、孔隙水盐度、温度及气体压力等因素对测试结果的影响。由于不同介质体系中孔隙水表面弛豫机制不同,导致低场核磁测定松散沉积物中的含水量偏小。引入校正系数Cm对水量测试值进行了修正,结果表明：沉积物及孔隙水介质本身特性对水量测试结果几乎无影响,相对误差<0.5%,测试精密度<0.20%;温度变化对测试结果影响较大且呈负相关,温度从25 ℃降至1.7 ℃,水量测试值增加了10.71%;压力变化对测试结果的影响与充注气体是否含氢密切相关,不含氢气体的压力变化对测试结果没有影响,而对于含氢气体如甲烷,水量测试结果随压力变化线性增加,甲烷增加到5.05 MPa时,测试结果增加了12.15%。因此,在采用该法测量甲烷水合物生成分解过程中沉积物孔隙水的变化时,必须考虑体系的温度、压力对测试结果的影响,恒温恒压条件下监测的含水量变化能够准确指示甲烷水合物生成分解的微观过程,可望在海洋天然气水合物生成分解微观动力学研究方面得到广泛应用。

双壳类分子生物标志物对海水重金属的响应评述

海洋双壳类动物的组织和器官对微量重金属具有高富集能力,诱导机体内的某些分子生物标志物(molecular biomarkers,MBMs)发生变化,可用于指示海水中的重金属污染水平。近10年来,许多学者在双壳类MBMs对海水重金属的响应规律方面进行了研究,其中,金属硫蛋白(MTs)、热激蛋白70(HSP70)、抗氧化防御系统等受到了较多的关注。本文在介绍这些MBMs结构和功能的基础上,重点评述了各种MBMs对海水重金属的响应特征,并提出了影响双壳类MBMs应用于海水重金属监测的因素及进一步研究的方向。     

未饱和砂土含水量GPR反射波法检测研究

未饱和砂土含水量变化会引起介电性质改变,影响土体中电磁波传播速度。利用GPR反射波法测得土体电磁波速后,基于正确的土体介电常数模型可求得含水量,这一过程具有快速、连续、无损特点。为实现目标,以不同粒径组成的3组典型砂土为样品,利用探地雷达反射波法测定其介电常数,研究影响土样介电常数的关键因素和遵循的介电常数模型,讨论基于介电理论的土体含水量求取方法。研究表明粒径级配差异不会引起砂土介电常数较大变化;含水量是决定其介电常数的关键因素,两者关系可采用拟合的Topp或Alharathi型公式表示;砂土介电常数遵循Looyenga混合介电常数模型。研究成果在土方路基含水量连续检测中得到有效应用。     

2003年北极科考期间一次极涡个例天气学分析

2003年9月3日到14日,"雪龙"号考察船进入北冰洋楚科奇海观测期间,正值一次典型的北极极涡环流过程形成和发展。以往研究大多集中于极涡的平均水平环流特征和季节变化,该例为我们研究它的瞬时环流形势和特征提供了条件。利用NCEP全球分析资料及第二次北极科考资料对这次个例进行天气学分析,通过描述极涡个例的发展情况,平流层、对流层的环流特征以及二者之间的关系,并分析卫星遥感图像及"雪龙"号考察船的气象资料,分析结果发现:2003年中国第二次北极科考期间经历的极涡形成和发展,典型地表现出极地冬夏环流型的转换过程。首先在平流层发生,然后向对流层传播,该个例是一次在平流层西退加强,在对流层东移南下的过程。

Heterosis and heritability estimates for the survival of the Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) under the commercial scale ponds

The aim of the present study is to detect the potential of the base population from diallel crosses of eight introduced strains of the Pacific white shrimp(Litopenaeus vannamei) for improving the yield. Heterosis and heritability were estimated for pond survival at commercial farm conditions for the base population that included 207 full-sib families from a nested mating design by artificial insemination. Among all the hybrids,the heterosis ranged from –11.37%(UA1×UA2) to 20.53%(UA3×SIN) with an average of 0.953%. The results showed that more than half of the hybrids(51.85%) have negative heterosis for survival rate, but most of the hybrids with positive heterosis have high estimates. The high proportion of negative heterosis for survival rate reminders us that the survival trait also should be considered in the crossbreeding program to avoid yield decrease. However, high positive heterosis manifested in most of the hybrids for survival indicates the usefulness of these hybrids for improving the survival to obtain higher yield by crossbreeding in this breeding program. The heritability estimate for pond survival was 0.092±0.043 when genetic groups were included in the pedigree, and it was significantly different from zero(P0.05). The results from this study also indicated that significant improvement for survival is possible through selection in L. vannamei.     

Growth inhibition and oxidative stress in two species of marine diatoms exposed to 1-phenylethanol

1-phenylethanol (1-PEA) is a flavor extensively used in the production of cosmetics, beverages, and food. The release of 1-PEA into coastal environments has aroused great concern. However, its potential effects on marine organisms are still unknown. In order to provide a better understanding of the ecological risks of 1-PEA in marine environments, this study determined the toxic effects of 1-PEA on two marine diatoms (Phaeodactylum tricornutum and Skeletonema costatum). The diatoms were grown in culture medium containing different concentrations of 1-PEA for 96 h. The contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll c, glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), were measured at the end of the exposure period. 1-PEA was shown to significantly inhibit the growth of diatoms, with 96-h EC50 values of 257.14 mg/Land 126.46 mg/L in P. tricornutum and S. costatum, respectively. In P. tricornutum, the levels of SOD, CAT, GPx, GSH, and MDA were stimulated only when 1-PEA concentrations were close to or greater than the 96-h EC50 value. However, in S. costatum, the activities of SOD and CAT, and the syntheses of two chlorophylls were inhibited even at an exposure concentration below the 96-h EC50 value. Taken together, these findings indicate a potential ecological risk by discharging 1-PEA into coastal areas and its species-specific toxic effects on marine organisms.
