Hepatic 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase Activity in eel (Anguilla Anguilla) from The Thames Estuary and Comparisons with other United Kingdom Estuaries

Hepatic microsomal 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activities (indicative of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs)) were measured in eel Anguilla anguilla from the Thames Estuary. Fish were collected from up to 13 sites during November 1997, May and August 1998 and October 1999. Throughout this period no clear seasonal variation could be identified at every site along the Thames. However, during the summer months, fish sampled from sites in the middle to the upper estuary (Woolwich, Greenhithe and West Thurrock) reported up to 3-fold higher EROD activities compared to sites either at the upper reaches (Richmond and Brentford) at the same time of the year, or fish sampled in winter, along the entire length of the estuary. A laboratory exposure experiment demonstrated a 3-fold elevation of EROD activity 2 days after injection with β-naphthoflavone (β-NF). However, higher levels of activity could be determined in fish sampled from the Weston canal near the Merseyside. The lowest levels of A. anguilla EROD activity were observed in fish sampled from the upper reaches of the River Tamar, Devon, and were comparable to activities determined in fish from the Wear and Humber estuaries. A. anguilla sampled along the Thames, Tyne and Tees estuaries reported between 2.5- and 7-fold higher EROD activities compared to fish collected from the Tamar. These results indicate that a low to moderate induction of A. anguilla CYP1A had occurred (indicative of low to moderate exposure to PAHs and planar PCBs) in fish collected from the Thames, Tyne, Wear, Tees, Humber and Tamar estuaries. However, the highest level of EROD activity was observed in fish from the Weston Canal (Merseyside).     

Scattering of plane P waves by circular-arc layered alluvial valleys: An analytical solution

IntroductionThe site effect of local inhomogeneity and irregularity on seismic wave propagation is one of the most attractive topics in seismology. The problem may be resolved by either analytical method or numerical method. Here, the analytical method is the wave function expansion method; numerical methods include the finite difference, finite element, boundary integration equation, and discrete wave number method, etc. Although these numerical methods can be applied for sites of arbitrary s…     

近20年来伊洛河流域典型地区森林景观格局动态

Based on the information from forest resources distribution maps of Luoning County of 1983 and 1999,six indices were used to analyze spatial patterns and dynamics of forest landscapes of the typical region in the middle of the Yihe-Luohe river basin.These indices include patch number,mean patch area,fragment index,patdch extension index,etc,The results showed that;(1) There was a rapid increase in the number of patch and total area from 1983 to 1999 in the study area,The fragment degree became very high.(2) The area of all the forest patch types had witnessed great changes,The fractal degree of each forest patch type became big from 1983 to 1999 ,The mean extension index of Robinia pseudoacacia forest ,non- forest shrub forest ,sparse forest ,and Quercus species forest in creased rapidly,but that of economic forest became zero ,The fractal dimension each showed that forest coverage has been promoted.(3)The changes of landscape patterns were different in different geomprhic regions.From 1983 to 1999 the vegetation cover area,the gross number and the density of patch,diversity and evenness of landscape were all reduced greatly in gullies and ravines,but the maximum area and the mean area of patch types were increased ,In hilly region,both the forest cover area and the number of patch increased from 1983 to 1999,but the mean area of patch was reduced greatly,In mountain region,even though the area under forest canopy reduced from 1983 to 1999 ,the patch number was increased greatly,the mean area of all patch types was reduced ,the extension index,diversity index and evenness index of landscape were all increased.Furthermore,because of different types of land use,human activtiy and terratin ,the vegetation changes on northern and southern mountain slopes were different.According to these analyses,the main driving forces,such as the policies of management,market economy,influence of human activities etc.are brought out.

Study on the Electrical Conductivity of 0.025 mol NaCl Solution at 0.25-3.75 GPa and 20-370℃

The electrical conductance of 0.025 mol NaCl solution was measured at0.25-3.75 GPa and 20-370℃. As shown by the results, the conductance increases with temper-ature, and there is a liner relation between the reciprocal of temperature and the logarithm ofthe conductance but their slopes are different at different pressures. The relations between theconductance and pressure is rather complex and there are some discontinuities: in the range of2.25-3.75 GPa, the conductance increases with the pressure; in the range of 1.25-2.0 GPa, theconductance is not related to the pressure; and at a pressure of 0.75 GPa, the conductance ishigher than that at the pressures nearby. This reflects that the NaCl solution has rather differentproperties of electronic chemistry at various pressures, and probably is an important cause forthe existence of the layers with high electrical conductance and low velocity in the Earth's crustand mantle.     

东南极拉斯曼丘陵麻粒岩相岩石中早期残留矿物组合的特征及其变质作用条件

东南极拉斯曼丘陵出露的麻粒岩相泥质片麻岩和镁铁质麻粒岩经历了复杂的变形变质历史。代表前进的增厚事件的早期残留变质构造Ｄ１形成于１０００Ｍａ（Ｇｒｅｎｖｉｌｉａｎ）期间。对应于Ｄ１的变质峰期Ｍ１的变质组合以泥质片麻岩的石榴石和尖晶石变斑晶中的堇青石和夕线石包裹体以及镁铁质麻粒岩的石榴石变斑晶中的斜方辉石和斜长石包裹体为特征。在该区斯托尼斯半岛的紫苏黑云石英岩的粗粒紫苏辉石中发现了包裹的假蓝宝石＋磁铁矿和假蓝宝石＋尖晶石＋夕线石＋磁铁矿＋石英组合，这种假蓝宝石又包裹更细粒的尖晶石包裹体。石榴石－斜方辉石温度计及石榴石－斜方辉石－斜长石－石英压力计的计算表明Ｍ１变质作用最大的Ｐ－Ｔ条件为０．９５ＧＰａ和８７０℃。这些早期残留的矿物组合指示了其变质作用具有逆时针近等压冷却（ＩＢＣ）的Ｐ－Ｔ演化特征，反映了它们的形成是一个埋深期间前进加热的进变质作用过程。本文得出该区Ｍ１（１０００Ｍａ）变质作用的逆时针（ＩＢＣ）Ｐ－Ｔ轨迹可能与已存在的大陆壳下面的岩浆底侵作用及地壳内大量岩浆物质的侵入和结晶作用有关。此类型逆时针Ｐ－Ｔ轨迹不同于该区在晚期５００Ｍａ（Ｐａｎ－Ａｆｒｉｃａｎ）期间顺时针演化的Ｐ－Ｔ轨迹
