Restoration of tidal freshwater vegetation using controlled reduced tide (CRT) along the Schelde Estuary (Belgium)

Throughout the world, tidal marshes are being restored to obtain natural protection against recurring storm surges and sea level rise and to preserve the resources these habitats provide. Managed realignment, or breaching of the seaward dikes, is a restoration technique increasingly used; yet unsuitable site elevation has been a major constraint to habitat development. Controlled reduced tide (CRT), a new technique to implement tidal regime on low elevated sites, could offer solutions for several problems associated with reconstruction or mitigation of tidal marshes.     

Cloning, Expression and Characterization of Translationally Controlled Tumor Protein （TCTP） Gene from Flatfish Turbot （Scophthalmus maximus）

A full-length cDNA encoding translationally controlled tumor protein of marine flatfish turbot (Scophthalmus maximus), SmTCTP, was isolated with rapid amplification of cDNA Ends (RACE). SmTCTP consisted of a 5' untranslated region (UTR) of 84 bp, a 3' UTR of 451 bp and an open reading flame (ORF) of 513 bp, encoding a protein of 170 amino acid residues, which contained two signature sequences of TCTP family. The 5'UTR of SmTCTP started with a 5'-terminal oligopyrimidine tract (5'-TOP), a typical feature for translationaily controlled mRNAs. The deduced amino acid sequence of SmTCTP was similar to the other known verte-brate TCTPs in a range of 58.8% to 64.1%. The length offish TCTPs was diverse among species, e.g., TCTP of turbot and sea perch (Lateolabrax japonicus) is 170 aa in length, while that of zebrafish (Danio rer/o) and rohu (Labeo rohita) is 171 aa in length. North-ern blot analysis revealed that SmTCTP has only one type of mRNA. Its expression level in albino skin was slightly higher than that in normal skin. We constructed the pET3Oa-SmTCTP expression plasmid. The recombinant protein of His-tag SmTCTP was over-expressed in E. coli, purified and identified with peptide mass fingerprinting. These results may pave the way of further inves-tigation of the biological function of TCTP in fish.     

生物过程中的铁同位素地球化学行为及应用

铁是生物必需的营养元素,并且生物圈与岩石圈、水圈、大气圈密切联系。因此,了解生物过程的铁同位素地球化学行为,对于示踪铁元素在生物圈内部体系的迁移和循环,以及运用铁同位素示踪生物圈和岩石圈、水圈之间的相互作用都具有重要意义。本文对不同生物体的铁同位素组成特征以及不同生物过程的铁同位素地球化学行为进行了总结。结果表明,生物倾向于优先吸收铁的轻同位素,而且在食物链中随着级别的升高,这种情况越明显。生物诱发过程(包括异化铁还原作用和细菌氧化作用)中,铁只是提供或接受电子,并没有真正进入生物细胞体内,这些过程所产生的铁同位素分馏值和无生物参与氧化还原过程产生的铁同位素分馏值相同。生物(包括微生物、植物、动物和人)吸收过程中,铁进入生物体细胞内,这些过程的铁同位素分馏主要受氧化还原作用所控制。铁同位素在生物学、医学等领域具有很大的应用潜力,有可能会成为这些领域新的示踪工具。     

一个CSAMT非平面波效应的实例及数值分析

本文以实例结合数值模拟说明CSAMT中非平面波效应对资料解释的重要影响。实际数据测量于河南卢氏县,在同一条测线测量,发射源长度1.3 km,收发距离分别为4.5 km和7 km。通过对数据进行必要的校正后进行了光滑模型反演,为了对比反演结果,整个处理过程的参数都保持一致。反演的电阻率断面显示,两种收发距离反演的电阻率断面其异常形态基本一致;但在电阻率的数值上,4.5 km的收发距离反演的电阻率较7 km的大。分析发现上述现象主要是源的非平面波效应造成的,并通过三维正演数值模拟得到了验证。由于在有限收发距离时,计算卡尼亚视电阻率靠近源受非平面波效应影响偏大,远离源后,该视电阻率趋于平面波视电阻率。因此,为了采用目前的可控源音频大地电磁测深解释理论,要求收发距离尽可能大。否则,必须采用带源效应的真正可控源电磁反演技术完成数据分析。

Pore pressure generation in silty sands during cyclic loading

Recent developments in studies of soil response to earthquake loadings have made it possible to incorporate the rates of pore water pressure build-up in soils in to nonlinear response analyses of the grounds. Such pore pressure changes help in computing the changes in stress-strain behaviour of soils in the deposit progressively as the earthquake progresses. The rate and magnitude of pore pressure generation in soils during seismic loading will have important effects on the shear strength, stability, and settlement characteristics of a soil mass, even if the soil does not liquefy. The results in terms of pore pressure response in soils from a series of experimental investigations using strain-controlled cyclic triaxial tests on soils samples collected from liquefied sites are presented in this paper. The effect of relative density, amplitude of cyclic shear strain, number of loading cycles, confining pressure and frequency of cyclic loading on the pore pressure build-up are studied. Analytical expressions are proposed using regression analysis to define mean relationships between normalized pore water pressure and normalized cycles for the prediction of pore water pressure build-up in silty sands. Also, the pore water pressure build-up in soils is independent of frequency of loading.     

库车坳陷克拉苏构造带分层收缩构造变形及其主控因素

库车坳陷中段克拉苏构造带广泛发育盐相关收缩构造变形,总体具有"垂向叠置、分层变形"的整体挤压变形特征。沿东-西向克拉苏构造带不同区段深浅层构造变形样式、断层位移存在明显差异,北部盐下层由1～2条高角度基底卷入逆冲断层为主导,并在断层下盘发育捷径断层。区域结构平衡剖面和先存构造活动趋势分析结果表明,克拉苏构造带北侧变形属于基底卷入变形,早期先存断裂在后期收缩变形中重新活动,形成高角度的逆冲断裂。物理和数值砂箱模拟结果表明,盐岩层先于其上、下地层发生变形,其厚度、分布及边界条件差异是造成垂向分层收缩变形的主要控制因素。
