Marine seismics with a pulsed combustion source and Pseudo Noise codes

There has been a long-standing debate concerning how dangerous seismic surveys are with respect to marine life. Marine seismic work today is dominated by airgun technology, where high energy is generated by a release of compressed air into the water. The objective of the “Time coded impulse seismic technique” project is to examine whether a new low energy acoustic source can be used for seismic purposes. If the method turns out to be successful, the low output energy and continuous operation will make the source suitable in environmental sensitive areas. The Low level Acoustic Combustion Source (LACS) is a petrol driven pulsed underwater acoustic source. It operates at a few meters depth, and each shot can be digitally controlled from the surface by a computer located in the mother vessel. A presentation of the recorded LACS signal characteristics, the modulation, the Pseudo Noise coding/decoding principles and field test results, is given. The importance of using an optimized code with fine resolution and of using the near field recording as a correlator sequence is demonstrated. Clear correlation peaks could then be seen from the bottom and sub bottom reflectors.     

Gene cloning and sequence analysis of the cold-adapted chaperones DnaK and DnaJ from deep-sea psychrotrophic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp.SM9913

Pseudoalteromonas sp.SM9913 is a phychrotrophic bacterium isolated from the deep-sea sediment.The genes encoding chaperones DnaJ and DnaK of P.sp.SM9913 were cloned by normal PCR and TAIL-PCR(GenBank accession Nos DQ640312,DQ504163).The chaperones DnaJ and DnaK from the strain SM9913 contain such conserved domains as those of many other bacteria,and show some cold-adapted characteristics in their structures when compared with those from psychro-,meso-and themophilic bacteria.It is indicated that chaperones DnaJ and DnaK of P.sp.SM9913 may be adapted to low temperature in deep-sea and function well in assisting folding,assembling and translocation of proteins at low temperature.This research lays a foundation for the further study on the cold-adapted mechanism of chaperones DnaJ and DnaK of cold-adapted microorganisms.     

中国近海早第三纪海侵层序及地层对比

中国近海各盆地,据古生物群及沉积特征,在早古新世为陆相沉积,至中晚古新世时为第Ⅰ海侵期。早始新世时为海退期,至中晚始新世为第Ⅱ海侵期。早、中渐新世时为海退期,晚渐新世为第Ⅲ海侵期。在论证地层时代时结合海侵的划分,提出新的见解。海相夹层可作为地层对比的重要标志层。     

中国和越南青蟹线粒体16S rRNA基因序列分析

为确定我国青蟹的分类地位及其资源的合理利用与保护提供理论依据，对中国和越南青蟹的线粒体16S rRNA基因片段序列进行了测定，并同Genbank中其他青蟹的序列进行了比较，分析研究了青蟹种内和种间的遗传差异及其分类地位。结果显示：中、越青蟹个体间序列差异极小，与Genbank中Scylla paramamosain同源片段序列的相似性达到99％以上．而与其他3种青蟹的差异达3．91％～8．41％。所得序列与S．paramamosain，S．serrata，S．olivacea及s．tranquebarica的遗传距离分别为0．002，0．075，0．087，0．042，种间遗传距离远大于种内距离。序列特征、遗传距离和系统进化分析结果都表明本文研究的中国和越南青蟹均为S．paramamosain。

Application of Subbottom Profiler for Coastal Engineering

Experimental studies have been conducted on the acoustic effects of KLEIN-510 subbottom profiler for different sedimentary layers in estuary and bay areas. Sedimentary layer boundaries can be recorded clearly and continuously by this instrument and then compared with the results from drilling cores to reveal some variations of sedimentary environments. With this instrument, the average deposit rate can be determined and the bed-rock beneath the sea bottom can be found out.     

北京地区中生代侵入岩的时间序列及其地质意义

为更好地理解燕山西段晚中生代岩浆活动的时空演化规律,根据近年来取得的高精度锆石U-Pb测年数据,本文研究北京地区中生代侵入岩的时间序列。北京地区中生代侵入活动发生在晚三叠世末-早侏罗世初、晚侏罗世-早白垩世两个阶段。现有资料尚无法确证北京地区有中侏罗世时期的深成岩浆活动,这表明前人厘定的八达岭杂岩带和北京地区中生代侵入岩岩石谱系问题甚多,未能反映北京地区中生代岩浆侵入事件的真实序列。根据侵入岩岩石组合和地球化学特征,燕山西段侏罗-白垩纪地壳发生减薄、进入后造山阶段的时限应该在130~125 Ma之后。建立完整的燕山西段晚中生代侵入活动时空分布格局,还需更多的野外工作和高精度锆石U-Pb年龄数据。

以烟台市的芝罘岛风砂沉积剖面为研究对象,分析色度特征,并结合光释光测年探讨末次间冰期该地区的气候。结果表明：1）色度参数L^*均值为52.13,在整个剖面表现为黄土层L^*高于古土壤层,指示寒冷干燥的气候条件。a^*、b^*、C^*、h^*均值依次为11.18、25.03、27.43和0.421,其值均表现为古土壤层高于黄土层,指示温暖湿润的气候条件。2）各色度参数在剖面垂直方向上呈现峰谷交替的3个旋回,反映该地区末次间冰期的气候变化经历由夏季风占主导,气候暖湿,降水较多（MIS5e：118.5—124.9 ka）→夏季风势力减弱,冬季风增强,气温下降（MIS5d：105.2—118.5 ka）→夏季风影响明显,气候湿热（MIS5c：94.7—105.2 ka）→冬季风增强,气温下降（MIS5b：83.4—94.7 ka）→开始转向暖湿（MIS5a：70.18—83.4 ka）→再转向干冷（MIS4：62.85—70.18 ka）的冷暖震荡。     

沉积记录中的古气候周期及其在高频层序形成中的意义

目前认为,构造升降、气候所控制的湖平面变化以及沉积物的供给对陆相湖盆层序发育的范围、厚度、演化阶段及层序边界的形成起着主要控制作用,而对于同一湖盆演化的不同阶段,则是不同因素对各级层序的形成起着主要的控制作用.某一时期,构造因素决定着较大级别层序边界的形成;而在构造活动相对稳定期,基于天文旋回的气候周期是高频层序形成的主要控制因素.在以往的研究中,对气候周期的深入分析一直较薄弱.加强气候因素的研究,从而更精确地解析高频层序的成因,进行高频层序的划分、对比,预测优质储层和烃源岩的特征及分布是今后能源和盆地研究中必不可少的一个工作重心.另外,随着"天文年代表"概念的提出,天文轨道旋回的方法已成为确定地层年代的一个重要手段.
