The influence of salinity on toxicological effects of arsenic in digestive gland of clam Ruditapes philippinarum using metabolomics

Ruditapes philippinarum,a clam that thrives in intertidal zones of various salinities,is a useful biomonitor to marine contaminants.We investigated the influence of dilution to 75% and 50% of normal seawater salinity(31.1) on the responses of the digestive gland of R.philippinarum to arsenic exposure(20 μg/L),using nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)-based metabolomics.After acute arsenic exposure for 48 h,salinity-dependent differential metabolic responses were detected.In normal seawater,arsenic exposure increased the concentrations of branched-chain amino acids,and of threonine,proline,phosphocholine and adenosine,and it decreased the levels of alanine,hypotaurine,glucose,glycogen and ATP in the digestive glands.Differential changes in metabolic biomarkers observed at lower salinity(～23.3) included elevation of succinate,taurine and ATP,and depletion of branched-chain amino acids,threonine and glutamine.Unique effects of arsenic at the lowest salinity(～15.6) included down-regulation of glutamate,succinate and ADP,and up-regulation of phosphocholine.We conclude that salinity influences the metabolic responses of this clam to arsenic.     

工程地质空间多场耦合构模技术研究

现有的三维地质模拟技术没有考虑地质空间几何结构场与属性参数场之间的耦合关系,从而限制了计算机模拟结果的真实性和实用性。工程地质空间多场耦合构模问题已成为制约三维地质模拟技术深入发展应用的瓶颈。在综合国内外研究现状与发展趋势的基础上,提出了工程地质空间多场耦合构模的总体研究框架和基本工作流程,给出了研究过程中所遇到的主要科学问题的解决思路或实现方案,并通过实例说明地质体多场耦合模型在三维地质建模及可视化系统中初步实现后的效果。这些研究成果为建立一套完整的地质体多场耦合构模理论体系和方法体系奠定了基础,有助于推动工程地质数字化建模分析技术的深入应用。

EUV resonance fluorescence of the c′4→X (0,v″) and b′→X (1,v″) transitions of N2

Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) resonance fluorescence of the (0,v″) bands of the c′₄¹Σ_u⁺→X¹Σ_g⁺ and the (1,v″) bands of the b′ ¹Σ_u⁺→X¹Σ_g⁺ transitions of N₂ has been observed by photon excitation of N₂ in the vicinity of 95.8 nm. The integrated fluorescence intensities of the c′₄→X (0,v″) emission become saturated at N₂ pressures higher than ∼0.16 mTorr. The emission features in the spectral region between 105 and 130 nm become progressively significant as the N₂ pressure is increased. The (1,v″) progression for v″ up to 11 of the b′→X transition and two progressions of the Lyman-Birge-Hopfield (LBH) system have been identified. The multiple scattering processes apparently cause significant reduction in the c′₄→X (0,0) emission rates. The present results may be useful in the explanation of the weak c′₄→X (0,0) fluorescence as well as the significant c′₄→X (0,v″) features in the dayglow of the Earth observed by the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer.     

Dynamics of Enceladus and Dione inside the 2:1 mean-motion resonance under tidal dissipation

In a previous work (Callegari and Yokoyama, Celest. Mech. Dyn. Astr. 98:5–30, 2007), the main features of the motion of the pair Enceladus–Dione were analyzed in the frozen regime, i.e., without considering the tidal evolution. Here, the results of a great deal of numerical simulations of a pair of satellites similar to Enceladus and Dione crossing the 2:1 mean-motion resonance are shown. The resonance crossing is modeled with a linear tidal theory, considering a two-degrees-of-freedom model written in the framework of the general three-body planar problem. The main regimes of motion of the system during the passage through resonance are studied in detail. We discuss our results comparing them with classical scenarios of tidal evolution of the system. We show new scenarios of evolution of the Enceladus–Dione system through resonance not shown in previous approaches of the problem.

利用卫星海面高度计资料,分析了赤道太平洋和印度洋海面高度变化的季节和年际变化特征,并与一个耦合气候系统模式FGCM0模拟的海面高度进行比较,评估模式模拟海面高度季节和年际变化的能力.结果表明,尽管耦合模式存在一定的系统误差,但仍然能在相当程度上模拟出海面高度季节和年际变化的基本特征.同时为检验模式中印度尼西亚贯穿流(ITF)对海面高度季节和年际变化的影响,还进行了印度尼西亚海道完全关闭的敏感性试验,与控制试验结果对比表明,印度尼西亚贯穿流可以显著影响热带太平洋和印度洋年际变化的特征.

涡激致顶张力立管双频参量共振研究

研究了涡激力作用导致顶张力立管基于双频激励的参量共振机理。随着海洋油气开发走向深水,参量共振成为深海立管设计面临的挑战之一。立管系统一旦发生参量共振,将因应力过大或疲劳损伤而发生破坏,造成油气泄漏从而带来环境污染和重大经济损失。顶张力立管受涡激力作用产生横向运动,引起轴向张力波动,满足一定条件时,立管将发生参量共振。目前研究多以单频外激励探讨立管的马修不稳定性,而实际激励为多频叠加,因此双频外激励被提出并被应用于对立管参量稳定性的探讨。研究建立了顶张力立管非线性耦合的运动方程,并推导了多频激励马修方程,采用布勃诺夫-伽辽金法求解有阻尼马修方程,对比分析了单频和双频激励对顶张力立管参量稳定性的影响,探讨了双频激励马修方程设计深海顶张力立管参量稳定性的应用。研究表明:涡激致顶张力立管产生轴向应力波动,进而导致立管系统发生参量共振的现象值得设计人员关注;此外,实际工程设计中激励函数的选取,对被研究系统参量稳定性特性以及阻尼特性的预测具有决定性影响。
