Sea surface temperature variations in the southwestern South China Sea over the past 160 ka

Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the southwestern South China Sea have been reconstructed for the past 160 ka using the Uk37 paleothermometer from the core MD01-2392. The temperature differences between glacial times (MISs 6 and 2) and interglacial times (MISs 5.5 and 1) are 2.2~2.5 ℃. Younger Dryas event during the last deglaciation was documented in both the planktonic foraminiferal δ18O and SST records. After MIS 5.5, SSTs displayed a progressive cooling from 28.6 to 24.5 ℃, culminating at the LGM. During this gradual cooling period, warm events such as MISs 5.3, 5.1 and 3 were also clearly documented. By comparison of SST between the study core and Core 17954, a pattern of low or no meridional SST gradients during the interglacial periods and high meridional SST gradients during the glacial periods was exhibited. This pattern indicates the much stronger East Asian winter monsoon at the glacial than at the interglacial periods. Spectral analysis gives two prominent cycles: 41 and 23 ka, with the former more pronounced, suggesting that SSTs in the southern SCS varied in concert with high-latitude processes through the connection of East Asian winter monsoon.     

Second-Order Solutions for Random lnterfacial Waves Under Steady Uniform Currents

In the present research, the study of Song (2004) for random interracial waves in two-layer fluid is extended to the case of fluids moving at different steady uniform speeds. The equations describing the random displacements of the density interface and the associated velocity potentials in two-layer fluid are solved to the second order, and the wave-wave interactions of the wave components and the interactions between the waves and currents are described. As expected, the extended solutions include those obtained by Song (2004) as one special case where the steady uniform currents of the two fluids are taken as zero, and the solutions reduce to those derived by Sharma and Dean (1979) for random surface waves if the density of the upper fluid and the current of the lower fluid are both taken as zero.     

尼罗罗非鱼对不同颜色定置网片的反应特性

本文初步研究了尼罗罗非鱼对红、黄、绿、蓝、青灰色定置网片反应特性,并探讨了该鱼对青灰色网片的适应特性。结果表明:绿色网片对罗非鱼的阻拦作用最大,青灰色网片次之,红、黄色网片再次,蓝色网片最小。罗非鱼对青灰色网片具明显的适应现象,它们完成整个适应过程所需的实验重复次数约为7次。     

任意截面大尺度垂直柱体的波浪力和水动作用力

许多海洋工程结构物和水工结构物,如海上贮油罐、各种支墩等,具有等截面柱状体外形,或在足够精确的工程近似意义上可视为这类柱体。它们的下端固置于水底,上端穿透水面,它们的波浪载荷是设计中的一个重要考虑因素;在许多场合,它们与周围流体的耦联振动也是相当重要的。对大尺度结构物而言,我们可在势流理论的范围内求解这一问题。通用的三维源汇分布法无疑是适用的,但对这类特殊的结构形式显得极不经济。     

青石斑鱼视网膜运动反应产生机制

青石斑鱼(Epine phelus awoara)视网膜色素上皮(REP)和视锥细胞中有微丝和微管分布.应用微丝、微管抑制因子--细胞松驰素B和秋水仙素研究肌动蛋白微丝和微管在REP色素颗粒及视锥运动中的作用,发现青石斑鱼REP色素颗粒的聚集和扩散都需要微管参加,暗适应聚集状态的维持则否;色素颗粒的扩散运动和明适应扩散状态的维持,依赖肌动蛋白的机制,而色素颗粒的聚集运动和暗适应时聚集状态的维持则不需这一机制.视锥肌样体的伸长与微管有关.暗诱导的视锥肌样体伸长可被秋水仙素阻断;视锥肌样体收缩依赖于肌动球蛋白机制.     

海南岛三亚滨珊瑚生长率特征及其与环境因素的关系

海南岛三亚不同珊瑚岸礁区两个不同生长年取滨珊瑚样品的生长率具有明显的季节变化特点，冬季生长率低，春季至秋季生长率高，并获取了滨珊瑚的季节生长率时间变化序列，珊瑚生长率与主要环境因素的对比表明，滨珊瑚的生长率主要与海水温度相关，而与降水和日照时数的相关性不明显，春季和夏季的生长率与冬季和早春（12～3月）的海水温度相关，其他季节的生长率与海水温度的季节变化关系不明显，初步认为低海水温度及三亚岸礁区浓珊瑚季节生长率变化的主要环境控制因素之一。     

温度变化对刺参同工酶的影响

采用同工酶电泳方法,对在不同温度处理下刺参(Apostichopus japonicus)的乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)、酯酶(EST)和超氧化歧化酶(SOD)的表达情况进行分析。本文结果显示刺参组织内无LDH同工酶的表达。在10℃到20℃的温度突变处理中,12 h内EST和SOD均有新增酶带,在20℃到10℃的温度突变1 h内EST表达有新增酶带。3 h内SOD表达有新增酶带。在不同变温幅度的处理中,EST和SOD只有1条酶带。这表明,刺参对温度突变可产生积极的响应,对于其适应环境温度的变化具有重要意义。
