Sulphate reduction in the sediment of the Venice canals (Italy)

The sulphur cycle in the sediment of the Venice canal network was investigated by considering the sulphate reduction rate (SRR) and the distribution of sulphur compounds, in both pore water and sediment. Sulphate reduction (SR) is the main process in the metabolism of the organic matter supplied to the network by untreated urban effluents. Although it might account for the decomposition of only a limited percentage of the total organic-C inputs, the estimated rates are among the highest observed in coastal sediments. Measured rates range from 0.26 to 0.99 micromolcm(-3)d(-1), while mean annual values, estimated by a diagenetic model, vary from 0.16 to 0.43 micromolcm(-3)d(-1). The speciation of S in the sediment reveals that pyrite-S is the most abundant component of the total reduced S pool, whereas acid volatile sulphides and elemental sulphur together account for less than 45%. A preliminary budget indicates that the rate of burial of solid-phase S is small compared to the S produced by SR (from 10 to 25%). A large amount of reduced S is then lost from the canal deposits to be re-oxidised at the sediment-water interface or in the overlying water column.     

MULTIVARIATE SELECTION OF VARIABLES IN INDUSTRIAL QUALITY CONTROL:OPTIMIZING AVIATION FUEL FINAL CONTROL

This paper deals with a typical question encountered in all industrial analytical laboratories:are all thetests performed in the laboratory to characterize the final product really necessary?In this work the cross-validation technique,Procrustes rotation techniques and statistical variable selection have been used toreduce the 26 initial British Petroleum and ASTM kerosene specification tests to ten'essential'ones.Statistical as well as chemical considerations were used to select the optimum subset of original variablesto be retained from all the possible ones.

鄂东铅锌矿床成矿中磷酸盐生物和非生物还原作用的有机地球化学研究

矿床产于三叠系大冶群碳酸盐岩中，有机质来自海相浮游生物和微生物。矿层中有机质发生成熟异常，已达过成熟作用早期。这得到镜质体反射率（Ro达4.6%）和矿物包裹体测温（均—温度达210℃）的证实。部分标本中有机质被微生物降解。硫同位素δ34S值大部分为正值，小部分为负值。综合研究表明在鄂东铅锌硫化物矿床的形成过程中，硫酸盐的生物和非生物还原作用，均具有十分重要的成矿意义。     

Partial Reduction in the N-Body Planetary Problem using the Angular Momentum Integral

We present a new set of variables for the reduction of the planetary n-body problem, associated to the angular momentum integral, which can be of any use for perturbation theory. The construction of these variables is performed in two steps. A first reduction, called partial is based only on the fixed direction of the angular momentum. The reduction can then be completed using the norm of the angular momentum. In fact, the partial reduction presents many advantages. In particular, we keep some symmetries in the equations of motion (d'Alembert relations). Moreover, in the reduced secular system, we can construct a Birkhoff normal form at any order. Finally, the topology of this problem remains the same as for the non-reduced system, contrarily to Jacobi's reduction where a singularity is present for zero inclinations. For three bodies, these reductions can be done in a very simple way in Poincaré's rectangular variables. In the general n-body case, the reduction can be performed up to a fixed degree in eccentricities and inclinations, using computer algebra expansions. As an example, we provide the truncated expressions for the change of variable in the 4-body case, obtained using the computer algebra system TRIP.     

Radon reduction in homes constructed on saprolite in the Central Appalachians

 A 3-year study of indoor radon in more than 1000 homes in northern Virginia and southern Maryland was conducted using 3-month exposure alpha-track monitors. In a study set of 200 homes, first-floor indoor radon concentrations, which most closely approximates home exposure levels, averaged slightly more than 3 pCi/l. In a study set of 100 homes, sub-slab ventilation was used to reduce indoor radon concentrations. Interest in remediation was related to public perception of the hazardous nature of radon; people living in homes with indoor radon measurements of more than 4 pCi/l were more likely to participate in the remediation phase of the project. Sub-slab ventilation was successful in more than 90% of the homes in reducing indoor radon from concentrations as high as 30 pCi/ to less than 4 pCi/l, at least for the entire year of post-remediation radon measurements.

伊犁蒙其古尔铀矿床含矿层砂岩中黄铁矿形成机制及对铀成矿的指示意义

蒙其古尔铀矿床为伊犁盆地南缘大型层间氧化带砂岩型铀矿床,为查明该矿床含矿层中黄铁矿成因及其形成机制,探讨微生物参与铀成矿过程。文章对含矿层砂岩中黄铁矿与铀矿物矿物学特征、黄铁矿S同位素与碳酸盐胶结物的C-O同位素开展细致研究。研究表明:①蒙其古尔铀矿床中铀主要以铀矿物与吸附铀形式存在,吸附铀主要为有机质吸附铀,铀矿物以沥青铀矿为主,多与黄铁矿、炭屑共生;②蒙其古尔铀矿床含矿层砂岩中黄铁矿主要以自形晶、草莓状和不规则状集合体产出,多与沥青铀矿、碳酸盐胶结物共生,其中黄铁矿S同位素(δ~(34)S_(V-CDT)=-68.4‰～22.1‰)与碳酸盐胶结物的C-O同位素(δ~(13)C_(V-PDB)=-10.2‰～-7.4‰,δ~(18)O_(V-PDB)=-9.6‰～-5.8‰)分析表明黄铁矿具有细菌硫酸盐还原(BSR)与有机物热解2种成因,并探讨了这2种不同成因黄铁矿的形成机制。③结合前人研究成果,认为硫酸盐还原菌(SRB)参与蒙其古尔铀矿床铀成矿过程,以间接还原方式为主,在有机质、黏土矿物与颗粒表面吸附U(Ⅵ)的基础上,通过硫酸盐还原菌(SRB)还原SO_4~(2-)产生的H_2S将U(Ⅵ)被还原成U(Ⅳ),形成铀矿物。
