长江无机氮的分布变化和迁移

于1997年11—12月(枯水期)、1998年8月和10月(丰水期)，对长江从金沙江至河口干流和主要支流、湖泊入江口各种形式的无机氮进行调查。结果表明，长江枯、丰期，干、支流NO3—N平均浓度变化很小，NO2—N、NH4—N浓度枯水期显著高于丰水期，支流高于干流；长江NO3—N、NH4—N和DIN在枯、丰期具有基本相似的迁移过程；长江水中无机N的迁移变化主要取决于NO3—N，NO3—N始终是三态无机N的主要存在形式，三态无机N处于较稳定的热力学平衡状态中；长江干流无机N与径流量呈正相关表明长江水中无机N主要来自于面源。

Study and suppression of anomalous fast events in inorganic scintillators for dark matter searches

The status of dark matter searches with inorganic scintillator detectors at Boulby mine is reviewed and the results of tests with a CsI(Tl) crystal are presented. The objectives of the latter experiment were to study anomalous fast events previously observed and to identify ways to remove this background. Clear indications were found that these events were due to surface contamination of crystals by alphas, probably from radon decay. A new array of unencapsulated NaI(Tl) crystals immersed either in liquid paraffin or pure nitrogen atmosphere is under construction at Boulby. Such an approach allows complete control of the surface of the crystals and the ability to remove any surface contamination. First data from the unencapsulated NaI(Tl) do not show the presence of anomalous fast events.     

Atmospheric inorganic aerosol of a non-industrial city in the centre of an industrial region of the North of Spain,and its possible influence on the climate on a regional scale

Mineral particles could have influenced on the climate of Oviedo, a non-industrial city situated in the centre of an industrial zone of the North of Spain, increasing the temperature and the precipitations, in spite of the fact that “greenhouse gases” concentrations have diminished in this city in recent years. The directive (1999/30/EC) of the European Commission began to be applied in Oviedo in the year 2003. In agreement with this norm, our first aim was the identification of the inorganic particulate matter of the PM10 and PM2.5 fractions sampled in this city. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy coupled with X-ray dispersive energy spectrometry were used. The percentages of the different mineral phases of the PM were obtained by a Rietveld refinement of powder X-ray diffraction data. The compositions of the PM10 and PM2.5 fractions of this city are similar. Sulphates are the most abundant particles in the both fractions. Most sulphates, nitrates and sal-ammoniac would have formed by reaction between solid, liquid and/or gas particles and they could be associated with the power stations near to the city and traffic. Wüstite and haematites come from the iron and steel industries of Gijón and Avilés. The main natural sources of halite and carbonates and silicates are sea spray and soil resuspension by the wind, respectively.     

Hydrodynamic loads on subsea robots

Free floating subsea robots are often subjected to complex hydrodynamic loads due to waves/currents and wakes from nearby structures. This makes control extremely difficult. Good hydrodynamics data might counteract this. This paper presents hydrodynamics data for two configurations undergoing various combinations of steady translation and approximately steady rotation. The two configurations are: a spherical body with a single fixed link arm and a two link arm without a body. For both configurations neural networks were found to provide a reasonable fit to the data. We believe that such fits could be used to improve control.     

东海中陆架泥质区及其周边表层沉积物碳的分布与固碳能力的研究

对东海中陆架泥质区及其周边的表层沉积物分别利用容量法、元素分析仪法进行了ＩＣ、ＯＣ含量分析,利用筛析法和沉降法进行了粒度分析。结果表明,研究区ＩＣ含量均明显高于ＯＣ含量。ＯＣ含量在泥质区高,砂质区低;ＩＣ含量分布为：近岸细粒沉积区为相对高值区,中陆架砂质区为低值区,中陆架泥质区为高值区,外陆架砂质区为特高值区．ＯＣ富集主要受控于上覆水体的生物生产量、沉积动力环境以及海底物理化学条件。ＩＣ的分布受物

关于沥青成因的讨论

以英国北威尔士和我国黔东湘西、新疆乌尔禾和塔里木的沥青为例,讨论了沥青的 Pb、Sr、Nd 同位素地球化学特征。结果表明:(1)沥青(前身物石油)的形成可能有多种途径,如壳源有机物生成(北威尔士、黔东湘西)和深源无机合成,后者的地质环境为地幔俯冲带(乌尔禾沥青)或下地壳麻粒岩相(塔里木);(2)沥青生成的时代比习惯认为的要古老得多。Pb、Sr、Nd 同位素还可给出原油运移、沥青沉淀的年龄。深入研究沥青的成因,对油气资源评价、勘探目标选择有重要意义。     

ISORROPIA: A New Thermodynamic Equilibrium Model for Multiphase Multicomponent Inorganic Aerosols

A computationally efficient and rigorous thermodynamic model that predicts the physical state and composition of inorganic atmospheric aerosol is presented. One of the main features of the model is the implementation of mutual deliquescence of multicomponent salt particles, which lowers the deliquescence point of the aerosol phase.The model is used to examine the behavior of four types of tropospheric aerosol (marine, urban, remote continental and non-urban continental), and the results are compared with the predictions of two other models currently in use. The results of all three models were generally in good agreement. Differences were found primarily in the mutual deliquescence humidity regions, where the new model predicted the existence of water, and the other two did not. Differences in the behavior (speciation and water absorbing properties) between the aerosol types are pointed out. The new model also needed considerably less CPU time, and always shows stability and robust convergence.
