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.

基于ETOPO1数据的全球及重点海域水深统计与分析

由于不同的水深探测手段及海深反演方法适用于不同深度的海域,且全球海域水深分布不均,因此在探测及反演海深之前,需对目标海域的水深分布有一定认识。本文采用ETOPO1模型对全球及部分海域进行统计分析,结果表明,全球及大西洋、印度洋、太平洋区域的水深大多处于3 000—10 000 m,其中3 000—5 000 m水深海域占比较大,因此,在这些海域主要采用重力数据结合船测数据进行反演,同时应注意避开海岸带、岛屿较多、海脊存在的区域;对于水深小于1 000 m的海域,可以根据外部环境,采用多波束船测、水深遥感、机载激光测深等方式进行探测。通过分析及统计全球和重点海域的水深可以为海深探测及海底地形反演方法的选取提供参考。

针对D-InSAR地震形变监测中存在LOS(line of sight)视线向模糊的问题,该文构建了一种融合升降轨不同视线向干涉测量数据获取三维同震形变场的方法。以2017年九寨沟M_S7.0级地震为例,基于研究区的Sentine1_1A数据和SRTM(1″)DEM数据,采用二轨差分的D-InSAR技术,融合升降轨LOS向以及自定义视线向的干涉测量数据进行联合解算,获取了研究区三维同震形变场,解决了单一轨道雷达LOS提取结果不能准确反映地表三维形变场的问题。实验表明,此次地震造成了震中附近一定范围地表的沉降和东南向的滑移,并通过震区形变剖面图和形变等值线图,分析了形变场的空间分布以及此次地震所造成地表断裂的位置,认为此次地震与塔藏断裂、虎牙断裂存在关联性,其运动形式为主动盘逆冲的走滑型地震。

The additional radiation of Cyg X-1 at primary minimum

New UBV-photoelectric observations of the well-known massive X-ray binary system Cyg X-1/V 1357 Cyg are obtained near the primary minimum. The detailed analysis of these observations confirms the existence of additional blue radiation which appears as a narrow peak with an amplitude of 0.01–0.02 mag near phase 0.00 on the light curve (the superior conjunction of the relativistic component), firstly detected by Lyuty (1985). This emission does not appear at every orbital cycle. The appearance of this narrow peak of additional blue radiation on the light curve of Cyg X-1 can be explained as the radiation of relativistic electrons in the disturbed magnetic field of the optical star in frames of the model proposed by Ikhsanov and Fabrika (1990).     

The Distribution of Chadian and earliest Arundian strata in North Wales: Implications for Dinantian (Carboniferous) lithostratigraphy and palaeogeography

The late Chadian Foel Formation, previously thought to be confined to the Dyserth area of North Wales, forms a poorly exposed but persistent basal unit to much of the Dinantian crop east of the Clwydian Range, necessitating a revision of the local lithostratigraphy. The formation comprises a peritidal heterolith which, together with the lowest few metres of the overlying Llanarmon Limestone, yields microfossil assemblages diagnostic of the Eoparastaffella Cf4α Subzone. Succeeding strata, containing the lowest archaediscid foraminifera, provide the first record of Cf4β assemblages from North Wales and establish an early Arundian age for these beds. The Foel Formation was deposited as an aggradational sequence on the northern flank of St. George's Land during a pulsed transgression which began in late Chadian times. The widely recognized basal Arundian transgression is represented by the contact between the Foel Formation and overlying platform carbonates. The latter overlap the Foel Formation in the southernmost part of the Clwydian crop demonstrating, for the first time, southwards onlap on the northern side of the Bala–Bryneglwys Fault System.
