急性温度应激对吉富品系尼罗罗非鱼(Oreochromis niloticus)幼鱼生化指标和肝脏HSP70 mRNA 表达的影响

采用温度应激的方法,将尼罗罗非鱼在26℃下驯养3周后,直接放入16℃、21℃、26℃(对照)、31℃和35℃水环境中,在不同温度应激后(0—24h)对鱼体血液和肝脏生化指标及其肝脏HSP70mRNA表达量变化进行了研究。结果表明,各实验组(除对照组外)血清皮质醇水平显著上升(P<0.05)。16℃组血清葡萄糖水平在24h时显著高于其它各组(P<0.05)。血清总蛋白水平与谷丙转氨酶、谷草转氨酶、溶菌酶、碱性磷酸酶活力和肝脏HSP70mRNA表达量在0—24h内基本呈先上升后下降的变化。24h后,16℃组血清甘油三酯含量显著上升,而胆固醇含量显著下降(P<0.05)。16℃和35℃组肝脏丙二醛含量随着应激时间的延长而上升,超氧化物歧化酶和过氧化氢酶活力均呈先上升后下降的变化。温度应激可显著改变罗非鱼的非特异性免疫力、抗氧化能力以及肝脏HSP70mRNA的表达水平。在实际养殖生产中,应密切关注温度的变化,降低温度胁迫对鱼体免疫机能的影响。     

The role of strain partitioning on intermontane basin inception and isolation,External Western Gibraltar Arc

The intermontane Ronda Basin, currently located in the Western Betics External Zones, started as an embayment of the Betic foreland basin during the Tortonian. We have characterized a post-Serravallian, basin-related deformation event that overprinted the former fold-and-thrust belt. Updated structural and kinematic maps allow us to identify NW–SE basinward-dipping normal faults at the southwestern and northeastern boundaries of the basin and NE–SW shortening structures (large-scale folds and reverse faults) affecting both the outcropping basement and partially the basin infill. In order to test the possible tectonic activity of these structures during the last 5 Ma, exhaustive geomorphologic analyses in the Ronda Basin area have been done. This included the qualitative study of relief and drainage network, together with the characterization of quantitative indices (SLk, Smf, V_f and HI). These results obtained from this analysis are coherent with structural data and suggest that the identified post-Serravallian structures were active up to at least 5 Ma. We also conclude that the Ronda Basin was generated by along strike segmentation of the relief in the Western Betics induced by NE–SW (arc-parallel) stretching accompanied with NW–SE shortening. In the NW basin boundary, the strain was partitioned into ENE–WSW dextral strike-slip faults and NE–SW shortening structures, which gave rise to a Messinian transpressive structural high that disconnected the former Ronda Basin from its parental foreland basin.     

尼泊尔Andhi Khola河研究参照点的识别及确认（英文）

参照条件是开展河流生态学研究的基础,这些条件不受或很少受到人为干扰。为研究尼泊尔Andhi Khola河上一处河坝的生态影响,采用野外快速生物筛分(RFB)法预先划分出2个研究参照点或最少干扰参照点,于2013年1月和2月采集了生物学样品(大型脊椎动物)和物理-化学样品。对大型无脊椎动物区系使用多栖息地采样(MHS)法。通过一些指标对预选的研究点进行了确认,这些指标是:尼泊尔生物评价法(NEPBIOS)、生物监测评价法(BMWP)、兴都库什喜马拉雅生物评价法(HKHBIOS)、Hilsenhoff法(HILSENHOFF),以及国家卫生基金会水质指标法(NSFWQI)。NEPBIOS、HKHBIOS、HILSENHOFF、RFB以及NSFWQI指标预测2个参照点的河水水质都比较好,达到II级水准。只有BMWP/ASPT水质指标预测2个参照点的河水水质都很好,达到I级水准。如此,预选的这2个水质较好的点(II级)被确认为研究参照点。本研究表明,多度量法适用于即将修建水利工程的河流的监测与评价。     

Closed‐form aftershock reliability of damage‐cumulating elastic‐perfectly‐plastic systems

Major earthquakes (i.e., mainshocks) typically trigger a sequence of lower magnitude events clustered both in time and space. Recent advances of seismic hazard analysis stochastically model aftershock occurrence (given the main event) as a nonhomogeneous Poisson process with rate that decays in time as a negative power law. Risk management in the post‐event emergency phase has to deal with this short‐term seismicity. In fact, because the structural systems of interest might have suffered some damage in the mainshock, possibly worsened by damaging aftershocks, the failure risk may be large until the intensity of the sequence reduces or the structure is repaired. At the state‐of‐the‐art, the quantitative assessment of aftershock risk is aimed at building tagging, that is, to regulate occupancy. The study, on the basis of age‐dependent stochastic processes, derived closed‐form approximations for the aftershock reliability of simple nonevolutionary elastic‐perfectly‐plastic damage‐cumulating systems, conditional on different information about the structure. Results show that, in the case hypotheses apply, the developed models may represent a basis for handy tools enabling risk‐informed tagging by stakeholders and decision makers.

珠江口盆地Site4B柱状沉积物中长链烷基二醇和酮醇类化合物的检出及意义

珠江口盆地Site4B沉积物中（65~300 cm）检出了1,15-C30（ω16）和1,15-C32（ω18）烷基二醇和酮醇,总的长链烷基二醇和酮醇含量分别为0.026～4.373 μg/g干沉积物和0.005～1.549 μg/g干沉积物。沉积物剖面上检测到的1,15-C30烷基二醇（-26.6‰±0.9‰）相对于来自陆源高等植物的C30直链烷基醇（-32.8‰±1.5‰）较正的碳同位素特征反映了这类化合物可能不是来自陆源高等植物;同时沉积物中未检出在黄绿藻中相对长链烷基二醇和酮醇更丰富的甾醇,且沉积物浅表层中（0~65 cm）未检出长链烷基二醇和酮醇类化合物,表明现今沉积物中几乎没有黄绿藻的贡献,和沉积物所处的寡营养盐（不适宜藻类生长发育）的陆坡位置相吻合。沉积物中1,15-C30烷基二醇（-24.6‰～-28.4‰）和海洋细菌来源的短链脂肪酸 (-25.5‰～-28.6‰)具有相似的碳同位素组成,表明了海洋细菌是其可靠来源。Site4B沉积物中1,15-C30和1,15-C32烷基酮醇和二醇具有非常好的相关性,表明了它们可能来自相同的生物来源或者来自相关性较好的不同生源,而不是通过对应的二醇氧化生成,因为在65~95 cm的氧化环境中酮醇比例没有明显增高。Site4B沉积物中二醇参数和酮醇参数的变化非常相似,结合含量分布特征反映了古海水温度以及淡水入侵的双重影响,即较高的二醇参数及较高的二醇含量和较低的二醇参数及较低的二醇含量都可能反映了古海水温度是主要影响因素;而较低的二醇参数及较高的二醇含量则可能反映了淡水的侵入是主要影响因素。

以西双版纳勐腊国营林场热带林为研究对象,以2006年森林资源二类调查数据为信息源,在ArcGIS支持下,把勐腊国营林场整个森林景观划分为8种景观类型,并选取10个景观格局指数作为稳定性评价指标体系,在Fragstats计算各景观类型的指数值基础上,建立了景观稳定性评价指标标准化矩阵;运用主成分分析法,在SPSS13.0支持下,构造了热带林景观稳定性综合评判模型,对勐腊国营林场各类型森林景观进行稳定性排序。研究结果表明:勐腊县国营林场热带林景观稳定性差异较大,其稳定性大小依次为:其他阔叶林—橡胶林—栎类林—茶叶—竹林—经济乔木林—思茅松林—其他灌木林。该结果可为西双版纳热带林的经营保护提供技术支撑。     

1965-2013年黄土高原地区极端气温趋势变化及空间差异

基于黄土高原地区52个气象站点逐日平均气温、最高和最低气温数据,采用一元线性趋势分析、相关分析等方法,分析该地区极端气温趋势变化及空间差异。结果表明：① 日最高（低）气温极低值、日最高（低）气温极高值、热夜日数、暖昼（夜）日数、热持续日数、夏季日数和生物生长季日数呈增加的趋势,其余极端气温指数呈减小的趋势。② 空间分布上,表征低温事件的冰冻日数、霜冻日数、冷昼（夜）日数和冷持续日数下降最显著的区域位于黄土高原北部;表征高温事件的热夜日数、夏季日数、暖昼（夜）日数和热持续日数上升最显著的区域主要位于黄土高原西北部;生物生长季日数上升最显著的区域主要位于黄土高原中部地区。③ 相关分析表明除了极值指数和气温日较差与其余极端气温指数相关性较差外,其余各极端气温指数之间均具有较好的相关性。④ 多数极端气温指数的变化趋势与平均气温关系密切,平均气温突变前后极端气温指数存在明显差异。⑤ Hurst指数结果表明黄土高原地区极端气温变化均呈同向变化特征。     

Seasonal variability of benthic indices: an approach to test the applicability of different indices for ecosystem quality assessment

In recent studies, several benthic biological indices were developed or used to assess the ecological quality status of marine environments. In the present study the seasonal variability of several univariate and multimetric indices was studied on a monthly scale (September 2000 until May 2002) in different areas of the North Sea such as the German Bight, the Oyster Ground and the Dogger Bank. The stations were chosen to reflect a gradient in the hydrographic regime, temperature and organic matter supply. The seasonal variability was highest for the univariate indices such as the Shannon–Wiener Index and the Hurlbert Index. Thus, due to sensitivity to recruitment the corresponding ecological status ranged from ‘good’ to ‘poor’ depending on the season. For the multimetric indices such as the AMBI or the BQI the seasonal variability and the corresponding ecological status were low. The results are discussed concerning possible consequences for ecological quality assessment especially related to the Water Framework Directive (WFD).     

Quantitative analysis of the relationship between polar ionospheric currents and auroral electrojet indices

Magnetic storms and substorms are principalprocesses of energy transition from the solar wind intothe magnetosphere-ionosphere system and dissipationin the system. They are also important events whichthe space physics study and space weather predictionhave been focused on. Magnetic storms are describedby means of the magnetic index Dst, which is calcu-lated using the magnetic disturbances of horizontalcomponent recorded at 5 low-latitudinal stations, rep-resenting approximately the symmetric r…     

SHAPE INDICES: USEFUL MEASURES OR RED HERRINGS?

Considerable attention has been devoted to shape analysis in geography with few fruitful results. We ask whether or not shape analysis is worth pursuing, referring to papers by Griffith and Lo. The methodology utilizes a two-step procedure. First, Lo's analysis is reconstructed to include indices reported in Griffith. Second, findings from the investigations are compared. Similar results are obtained from both studies, but the failure to extract any one-to-one correspondence between a shape and its associated index value(s) continues to cast doubt on the utility for subsequent studies.
