Histological bone structure of Lower Cretaceous dinosaurs from southwest Istria (Croatia)

Recently discovered dinosaur bones in submerged near-shore deposits of southwest Istria include one vertebra, one femur, and two rib fragments. They all show well-developed vascularization. The large amounts of primary bone tissue in the vertebral and femoral compacta as well as in one rib fragment suggest that they belong to sub-adult animals which were growing rapidly. The structure of a second rib fragment differs in that it consists of secondary bone. The absence of lines of arrested growth is evident in all investigated bones. This suggests a sustained manner of bone deposition.     

浙江省常山县上震旦统西峰寺组碳酸盐的δ13C和δ18O测定

 作者对浙江省常山县三里亭北九家坞的上震旦统剖面的碳酸盐系统采集的54个样品,作了碳、氧稳定同位素的分析。其中δ¹³C除4个外几乎全为正值,平均值2.16%,这与前人提到过的文德期以δ¹³C负迁移为特征的结论不符。离散变为9.0。最大负峰值出现在剖面近中部的磷块岩层中,可能与海流状况的剧变有关。δ¹⁸O除最末两个为小的正值外,几乎全为负值。     

X射线荧光光谱分析检出限问题的探讨与建议

对有关X射线荧光光谱分析低含量元素的检出限问题进行了多方面的探讨。从检出限的定义及其定义下的相对标准偏差到各种不同测量、校准与校正方法的检出限及其相对应的相对标准偏差进行计算。提出了以定义检出限的相对标准偏差为基准,对各种测量方法计算出的检出限进行重新界定,从而确认一个具有可比性的、精度一致的检出限。同时还讨论了仪器与X光管固有杂质元素谱线对该元素检出限的影响;测量仪器、测量条件与测量时间对检出限的影响;不同岩性试样对检出限的影响;检出限与测定限等问题。     

Rare and vulnerable species in the mollusc communities in the mining subsidence reservoirs of an industrial area (The Katowicka Upland, Upper Silesia, Southern Poland)

Pollution of the water environment by mining waters is a problem not only in Poland, but worldwide. This study investigated the mollusc communities in seven mining subsidence reservoirs affected by coal mine output (the Katowicka Upland, Upper Silesia, Southern Poland). The objective of the survey was to determine the relationship between the molluscs and their environments and to evaluate the ecological-conservation value of freshwater habitats which support rare and vulnerable molluscs. From 1993 to 2005, 23 mollusc species were recorded. Our result confirmed an invasion by Potamopyrgus antipodarum (Gray, 1843), whose density varied from 2 to 2422 individuals/m² in the waters of the Katowicka Upland. A few rare and vulnerable species were found, e.g. Acroloxus lacustris (Linnaeus, 1758), Hippeutis complanatus (Linnaeus, 1758), Ferrissia wautieri (Mirolli, 1960), Anodonta anatina (Linnaeus, 1758), Musculium lacustre (O.F. Müller, 1774) or Pisidium casertanum (Poli, 1791). Principal component analysis showed a positive correlation between mollusc density and pH, the concentration of chlorides, the total hardness, alkalinity and total dissolved solids, and a negative correlation between the number of species and phosphates. Because of the distinctive environmental features of the mining subsidence reservoirs in Czułów, the research area has provided a refuge for wildlife.     

松辽盆地泰康地区上白垩统姚家组沉积相

较系统地研究了松辽盆地泰康地区上白垩统姚家组沉积相类型和沉积特征,研究表明,泰康地区姚家组仅发育三角洲相一种沉积相类型;垂向上,从姚家组一段到姚家组三段,自下而上、自北而南由三角洲水上平原亚相或三角洲水下平原亚相沉积逐渐变为三角洲水下平原亚相或三角洲前缘亚相沉积。演化过程可大致划分为早、中、晚3个时期,不同时期沉积特征表现有差异,总体表现为一个加积到缓慢的水进转变过程,物源来自北部。砂体类型有分流河道砂体、水下分流河道砂体、河口坝砂体及决口扇、天然堤与远砂坝砂体。含油性分析表明,三角洲前缘亚相的水下分流河道微相与河口坝微相发育区应是油气富集区,是今后该区油气勘探的有利地区。     

极限荷载作用下临近基坑c-土地基的破坏模式

与地面水平时地基土体的对称破坏模式不同,临近基坑（边坡）地基土体的破坏模式呈现明显的非对称性.利用FLAC-3D数值模拟技术,研究了在竖向极限荷载作用下临近基坑c-ψ土地基不同工况时的破坏模式,得出了与J.Graham所假设的边坡附近无黏性土地基破坏模式相一致的结论.最后将数值模拟结果与大尺寸模型试验数据以及J.Graham的基于应力特征线法的非对称滑动破坏模式的地基承载力理论解进行了分析对比.结果表明,采用叠加计算方法得到的承载力系数Nγq偏于安全.     

Pleistocene tectonics inferred from fluvial terraces of the northern Upper Rhine Graben, Germany

This study of fluvial terraces of the River Rhine and tributaries aims to search for indications of Pleistocene tectonic activity. The study area includes the northern Upper Rhine Graben (URG), the Mainz Basin and the adjacent Rhenish Massif with the Middle Rhine Valley. High rates of Quaternary surface processes, large amount of human modifications, relatively slow tectonic deformation and presently low intra-plate seismic activity characterize this area. Therefore, the records of relatively slow tectonic deformation are less well preserved and thus difficult to detect. This study uses the relative position of fluvial terraces to determine the more local effects of fault movements on the terraces and to evaluate their displacement rates and patterns. The research is based on a review of previous terrace studies and new terrace mapping from the eastern Mainz Basin and the bordering URG using topographic map interpretations and field observations. This newly mapped sequence of terrace surfaces can be correlated to other terraces in the vicinity on the basis of relative height levels. Terrace correlation between the western Mainz Basin and Middle Rhine Valley relies on a single chronostratigraphic unit (Mosbach sands) and additional relative height correlations. This is the first study to present a continuous correlation of terraces from the western margin of the URG to the Rhenish Massif and enables the study of the transition from the subsiding graben to the uplifted Rhenish Massif. By means of a longitudinal profile, which ranges from the URG to the Rhenish Massif, the influence of individual fault movements on the terrace levels and the large-scale regional uplift is demonstrated. It is evident from the profile that the uplift of Early to Middle Pleistocene terraces increases northwards, towards the Rhenish Massif. The uplift was diachronic, with a significant pulse occurring first in the northern URG (Lower Pleistocene) and later in the Rhenish Massif (Middle Pleistocene). The largest vertical displacements are recorded for the boundary fault separating the Mainz Basin and the Rhenish Massif (Hunsrück–Taunus Boundary Fault) and for faults bounding the northeastern Mainz Basin. The motions and displacement rates calculated for individual faults indicate deformation rates in the order of 0.01–0.08 mm/year. At this stage, the calculation of displacement rates depends mostly on a single dated stratigraphic unit. Additional dating of terrace deposits is urgently needed to better constrain the temporal development of the terrace sequence and the impact of tectonic movements.

冻结粉土动强度的荷载效应及长期极限动强度

荷载效应包括速率效应和疲劳效应两部分．速率效应使冻土的动强度和退荷回弹动弹模随应变速率加快而提高;疲劳效应使冻土的动强度随振频增加而下降,但在低应变速率下却使动强度略有提高．在高应变速率下动强度大于静强度,在低应变速度下动强度小于静强度,其间存在一个临界应变速率．通过动强度－破坏振次关系,可确定长期极限动强度．
