Experimental evidence for eukaryotic fossil preservation: Onion skin cells in silica solution

Research on the origin of eukaryotes often focuses on the exceptional preservation found in silicified Precambrian fossils. Nuclei like subcellular structures in well-preserved fossil becomes confusion and arguments, which focus on whether the partial degradation of prokaryotes produces artifacts that resemble a ‘nucleus’, or fossilized nuclei of eukaryotes. In order to understand the mechanisms of silicification and identify the fossilized subcellular and microstructures in rocks, a series of laboratory controlled experiments were performed for simulating the silicification process. The effects of different silica solutions in eukaryote fossilization were studied in our experiments by exposing onion skin cells (epidermis) to silica solutions. Onion skin provides a good experimental model because of its well characterized cellular structures which are easily observed. The designed experiments revealed that the possibility of onion cell preserved as a “fossil” with nuclear structures, the first week fossilization, or mineralization as rapid as 1 week is important. And the experiment also revealed interactions between silica and the onion skin cell wall surface functional groups were weak. The preservation of nuclei in the onion skin model was due to precipitation in highly supersaturated silica solutions rather than simply the high silica concentration. When the silica gel precipitates slowly at low supersaturation states, the nuclei were not well preserved, but the rapid precipitation at high supersaturated silica conditions preserved nuclear structures. A better understanding of the processes involved in onion skin fossilization will further contribute to issues concerning the silicification of other eukaryotic materials.     

离心模型试验中微型土压力盒土压力测定

土压力作为离心模型试验中重要的测试参数,受土压力盒的性能、离心机数据采集系统稳定性及外部环境等诸多因素的影响,准确地测量土压力较为困难。土压力盒作为土压力测试元件,其性能对土压力测量准确性有直接影响。为获得较为准确的土压力测试数据,结合离心机数据采集系统,选择两种常见的电阻应变式土压力盒。通过标定试验得出两种土压力盒砂标系数均小于出厂标定系数,Ⅰ型偏小64.75%,Ⅱ型偏小18.77%,Ⅱ型土压力盒与出厂数据的重合度比Ⅰ型好;在研究墙高10～30 m类扶壁式挡墙侧向土压力分布的离心模型试验中,与Ⅱ型土压力盒相比,Ⅰ型存在按出厂系数测得数据失真、灵敏度低和稳定性差的缺点。标定试验和离心试验结果表明,接入自行组建的数据采集系统的Ⅱ型土压力盒比接入静态应变数据采集系统的Ⅰ型土压力盒性能更佳。

基于GNSS-RTK的在建超高层风载动态变形监测

首先以海星达H32全能型GNSS-RTK接收机为试验仪器,进行不同星系组合的RTK定位精度试验研究。然后以在建的天津高银117大厦为监测对象,采用GPS+GLONASS+BDS三星系组合对其进行现场强风作用下的RTK动态变形监测。利用巴特沃斯滤波对实测数据进行去噪处理,得到各测点的位移曲线。分析结果表明:GPS单星系定位的平面坐标精度相对较差,双星系组合定位的平面坐标精度与三星系组合定位的平面坐标精度基本相当,但GPS+GLONASS+BDS三星系组合定位的稳定性和可靠性最强;由于施工阶段大厦结构的刚度和整体性与竣工后存在差异,故在强风作用下其按一定施工步距滞后的低矮外框的振动位移幅度大于其高耸内筒结构的振动位移幅度;大厦外框和内筒均存在横风向振动位移,且横风向振动位移与顺风向振动位移的大小相近;监测环境对监测结果有着一定的影响,66层各点的监测值误差要大于95层各点的监测值误差。

Why Was the Strengthening of Rainfall in Summer over the Yangtze River Valley in 2016 Less Pronounced than that in 1998 under Similar Preceding El Niño Events?——Role of Midlatitude Circulation in August

It is widely recognized that rainfall over the Yangtze River valley (YRV) strengthens considerably during the decaying summer of El Niño, as demonstrated by the catastrophic flooding suffered in the summer of 1998. Nevertheless, the rainfall over the YRV in the summer of 2016 was much weaker than that in 1998, despite the intensity of the 2016 El Niño having been as strong as that in 1998. A thorough comparison of the YRV summer rainfall anomaly between 2016 and 1998 suggests that the difference was caused by the sub-seasonal variation in the YRV rainfall anomaly between these two years, principally in August. The precipitation anomaly was negative in August 2016——different to the positive anomaly of 1998. Further analysis suggests that the weaker YRV rainfall in August 2016 could be attributable to the distinct circulation anomalies over the midlatitudes. The intensified "Silk Road Pattern" and upper-tropospheric geopotential height over the Urals region, both at their strongest since 1980, resulted in an anticyclonic circulation anomaly over midlatitude East Asia with anomalous easterly flow over the middle-to-lower reaches of the YRV in the lower troposphere. This easterly flow reduced the climatological wind, weakened the water vapor transport, and induced the weaker YRV rainfall in August 2016, as compared to that in 1998. Given the unique sub-seasonal variation of the YRV rainfall in summer 2016, more attention should be paid to midlatitude circulation——besides the signal in the tropics——to further our understanding of the predictability and variation of YRV summer rainfall.

Geobotany of red sanders (Pterocarpus santalinus) – a case study from the southeastern portion of Andhra Pradesh

 RedSanders in their natural distribution occur almost exclusively in quartzites and shales. This indicates the geobotanical response to these rock types in the semi-arid tract of the southeastern portion of Andhra Pradesh in the tropical dry deciduous forests of Chittoor, Cuddapah and Nellore districts. Thus Red Sanders are important from a commercial point of view and also a useful tool to demarcate stratigraphic formations. Received: 27 April 1998 · Accepted: 21 July 1998
