General aspects of the evolutionary history of whales and dolphins

Abstract The Cetacea are the most diverse and highly aquatically adapted group of mammals. Their fossil record extends back at least to the Middle Eocene ( ca 50 Ma), and they will possibly be found earlier, judging by the relatively highly evolved nature of the earliest known whales. The most likely terrestrial ancestors of whales are the mesonychids, primitive hoofed mammals with omnivorous diets. Recently discovered archaeocetes with large, mesonychid-like heads and dentitions and functional hind limbs reconfirm earlier ideas about the mesonychid origin of cetaceans and the amphibious nature of the earliest transitional forms. Fossil cetaceans are relatively abundant and diverse thoughout the world, and are now known from every continent, including Antarctica. Odontocetes evolved echolocation to locate food. Mysticetes developed bulk feeding adaptations. Both undoubtedly evolved from archaeocetes, and the monophyly of Cetacea is the most parsimonious present hypothesis. Chromosomal and molecular evidence has taken an increasingly important role in determining cetacean relationships, but fossils and classical comparative morphological studies remain a necessary and pivotal source of information about cetacean phylogeny.     

辽宁海洋综合经济区划分的初步探讨

我国是海洋大国，有相当陆域国土面积三分之一的海洋国土。随着海洋资源的开发利用，海洋经济不断发展，海洋经济区逐渐形成。在全国划分经济区时，不应忽视海洋经济区。沿海省区在划分经济区时，更应把海洋列入到省级经济区内。辽宁是我国沿海省区之一，通过对辽宁海洋经济区划分的研究，探讨海洋经济区及其划分的有关理论、实践与方法。     

作物叶面蒸腾与棵间蒸发分摊系数的计算方法

依据在冬小麦和玉米冠层表面及冠层内部下方土壤表面的净辐射观测资料,建立了一个能较准确地反映叶面蒸腾与棵间土壤蒸发分摊系数物理变化规律的较实用的计算模式,结果表明,分摊系数(α)随叶面积指数(LAI)增加而增加,且具有明显的日变化,α在中午最小、早、晚稍大,这种日变化受叶气孔调节的影响。     

Study of the crust and mantle using magnetic surveys by Magsat and other satellites

Among the first measurements made from near-Earth orbiting satellites were measurements of the magnetic field. The sources of that field lie both within the Earth, in its core and crust, and in the surrounding ionosphere and magnetosphere. This article summarizes some of the methodology and results for studies of the Earth’s mantle and crust. Mantle conductivity studies can be made either by studying signals impressed on the Earth from outside, e.g., the ionosphere or magnetosphere, or by studying signals originating in the core and transmitted through the mantle. Crustal field studies begin with a careful selection of the data and subsequent removal of core and external fields by some sort of filtering. Average maps from different local times sometimes differ, presumably due to the remaining presence of fields of external origin. Several techniques for further filtering are discussed. Where large-area aeromagnetic maps are available, crustal maps derived from satellite data can be compared with upward continued data. In general, the comparisons show agreement, with some differences, particularly in and near the auroral belts. The satellite data are further reduced by various methods of inverse and forward modelling, sometimes including reduction to the pole (RTP). These techniques are generally unstable at the equator. Common methods of stabilizing the inversions include principle components analysis and ridge regression. Because of the presence of the core field, the entire crustal contribution from the field is not known. Also, there is a basic nonuniqueness to the inverse solutions. Nevertheless, magnetizations that are interpretable can be derived.     

海底热液成矿作用

根据近二三十年海底地质考察结果,海底热液成矿作用非常普遍,可以形成铜、铅、锌、金、银、铁、硫、重晶石、萤石、锑、汞和硼等海底热液矿床.按容矿岩石不同,可分为与火山岩系有关的及与沉积岩有关的两大类矿床类型.     

顺便伽玛测量在水化普查中的找铀效果

在铀矿普查中,伽玛测量具有经济、快速、轻便、连续测量的特点。在水化普查中作顺便伽玛测量,投资少、收效快,并可直接发现供详查揭露的矿化点。在生产布置上与水化测量相互适应。通过一遍工作之后,可取得2套各具特点的资料。在资料解释及运用上,二者可互为补充。对无水地段,水化测量为空白区,可用伽玛测量补其不足。伽玛测量可为水化异常解释提供资料,水化异常的规模及浓度的高低又是推测深部矿化情况的依据。从统计结果证实,比例尺为上1:2.5万的顺便伽玛测量与1:1万的正规伽玛测量比较,发现异常机率可达60％。可见将顺便伽玛测量资料在测量精度上降一级使用,是可以满足精度要求的。
