Noble gases,nitrogen and cosmic ray exposure age of the Sulagiri chondrite

The Sulagiri meteorite fell in India on 12 September 2008,LL6 chondrite class is the largest among all the Indian meteorites.Isotopic compositions of noble gases(He,Ne,Ar,Kr and Xe) and nitrogen in the Sulagiri meteorite and cosmic ray exposure history are discussed.Low cosmogenic(~(22)Ne/~(21)Ne)_c ratio is consistent with irradiation in a large body.Cosmogenic noble gases indicate that Sulagiri has a 4πcosmic-ray exposure(CRE) age of 27.9 ± 3.4 Ma and is a member of the peak of CRE age distribution of IX chondrites.Radiogenic ~4He and ~(40)Ar concentrations in Sulagiri yields the radiogenic ages as 2.29 and4.56 Ca,indicating the loss of He from the meteorite.Xenon and krypton are mixture of Q and spallogenic components.     

祁连山及周边地区降水与地形的关系

利用祁连山区及其周围(90°～104°E,32°～42°N)1960—2004年55个气象站点白天08:00—20:00时、夜间20:00—08:00时和全天20:00—20:00时逐日降水资料,分析了不同降水强度的时空分布特征及其与海拔的关系,得出了不同降雨强度以及不同季节最大降水总量出现的海拔.小雨日数与海拔较为密切,呈线性增长;中雨以上与坡向、地理位置有关,在海拔4850m附近降雨日数最多为143d.降雨日数和总量在海拔3700m左右达最大峰值,而在海拔2700m附近为次大峰值.进一步利用干湿年资料诊断分析出祁连山区最大降水高度的出现除了受地面海拔的影响外,很可能与高低空两个最大相对湿度中心及相应较强的冷空气活动中心出现高度关系密切.     

慢性氨氮胁迫对鲻鱼(Mugil cephalus)幼鱼组织细胞免疫指标的影响研究

以鲻鱼(Mugil cephalus)幼鱼为研究对象,研究低浓度氨氮长时间胁迫对组织细胞免疫指标和遗传物质代谢的影响。实验分0.35、0.7、1.5和3mg/L氨氮处理组,分别于0、5、10、15、20d取样并进行相关指标测定。结果显示:肝脏和鳃丝的丙二醛(MDA)含量表现出先上升后下降的趋势,MDA活性与氨氮浓度呈一定的正相关。氨氮对MDA的影响具有不同组织和不同时序的选择性。不同浓度氨氮胁迫下,鳃丝和肝脏Na+-K+-ATP活性均呈现先升高后降低,并随着时间的增加逐渐趋于稳定。Na+-K+-ATP活性与氨氮浓度呈一定的负相关性,尤其是3mg/L处理组与对照组差异性显著(P0.05)。在氨氮浓度0.7mg/L和1.5mg/L时,肌肉中RNA/DNA均表现出不同程度的增加,各浓度组与对照组差异不显著;而高浓度(3mg/L)比值基本无变化。肝脏和鳃丝的Na+-K+-ATP酶的mRNA表达量,在氨氮胁迫第5d时检测到达最高,随后表达量缓慢回落,实验20d除3mg/L处理组表达量仍高于对照组水平外,其他处理组均降至对照组水平。Na+-K+-ATP酶的表达水平变化趋势与Na+-K+-ATP活性基本一致。结果表明,在一定浓度的氨氮长时间胁迫作用下,抗氧化免疫系统和肌肉中的核酸代谢受到了一定的影响。     

Glacial oscillations during the Bølling–Allerød Interstadial–Younger Dryas transition in the Ruda Valley,Central Pyrenees

The Upper Garonne Basin included the largest glacial system in the Pyrenees during the last glacial cycle. Within the long-term glacial retreat during Termination-1 (T-1), glacier fluctuations left geomorphic evidence in the area. However, the chronology of T-1 glacial oscillations on the northern slopes of the Central Pyrenees is still poorly constrained. Here, we introduce new geomorphological observations and a 12-sample dataset of ¹⁰Be cosmic-ray exposure ages from the Ruda Valley. This U-shaped valley, surrounded by peaks exceeding 2800 m a.s.l., includes a sequence of moraines and polished surfaces that enabled a reconstruction of the chronology of the last deglaciation. Following the maximum ice extent, warmer conditions prevailing at ~15–14 ka, during the Bølling–Allerød (B–A) Interstadial, favoured glacial retreat in the Ruda Valley. Within the B–A, glaciers experienced two phases of advance/stillstand with moraine formation at 13.5 and 13.0 ka. During the early Younger Dryas (YD), glacial retreat exposed the highest surfaces of the Saboredo Cirque (~2300–2350 m) at 12.7 ka. Small glaciers persisted only inside the highest cirques (~2470 m), such as in Sendrosa Cirque, with moraines stabilising at 12.6 ka. The results of this work present the most complete chronology for Pyrenean glacial oscillations from the B–A to the YD.
