南海北部陆坡深水区浅层天然气藏特征

南海北部陆坡深水区的浅层天然气藏是一种伴随天然气水合物的新型油气藏, 具有埋藏浅、规模大的特点, 其埋藏深度一般小于300m。浅层天然气藏由深部裂解气沿断裂上升被天然气水合物封盖而形成, 识别似海底反射(BSR)是寻找浅层天然气藏有效方法。浅层天然气藏的气源主要有热解气、生物气和混合气, 陆坡张性断裂是气体运移的主要通道, 水合物下部的砂层是浅层天然气藏的主要储集层, 水合物层则是封盖层。从南海发现的天然气水合物分布特征看, 浅层天然气藏在陆坡深水区广泛分布且气藏厚度大, 潜在资源量非常可观, 是一种新型的开采成本相对低廉的油气藏。     

沉积盆地异常低压(负压)与油气分布

在沉积盆地油气勘探过程中,异常压力与油气聚集的关系愈显密切,而异常压力不仅仅是指异常高压,国内外在发现许多异常高压油气藏的同时,也发现了相当数量的异常低压油气藏,而且异常低压在世界许多盆地中均有分布。因此,深入研究异常低压的形成机理及与油气分布的关系,同样重要和不容忽视。本文介绍了异常低压的概念、特征和分类,详细分析了异常低压的形成机制：地层剥蚀卸载后的弹性回返(反弹)作用、流体的供排不平衡、轻烃的扩散作用、断裂和不整合面的压力释放作用、渗透作用和温度变化等;最后论述了异常低压与油气分布的关系。

黄河三角洲地区地下淡水（微咸水）的形成与演化

黄河三角洲地区地下淡水（微咸水）资源贫乏，咸水广布。南部冲洪积平原受第二次海侵层位的影响形成大面积咸水，后被逐渐淡化。近年来由于开采量加大，又使北部咸水南侵。海积冲积平原随着黄河河道的变迁，仅在黄河现行河道两侧和充水的黄河故道带分布有淡水（微咸水）。近代，现代黄河三角洲古河道带和决口扇淡水体已被咸化。     

Cd~(2+)对青蛤(Cyclina sinensis)的毒性及蓄积过程研究

利用水生动物急性毒性实验方法,在6个浓度下Cd2+对青蛤的急性毒性进行测定,经回归分析后,得到Cd2+对青蛤96h半致死浓度为20.09mg/L,安全浓度为0.201mg/L。分别对半致死浓度和安全浓度下Cd2+在青蛤体内不同组织的蓄积情况进行了分析。结果表明,在半致死浓度条件下,168h青蛤各组织Cd2+的含量依次为肌肉内脏团鳃;而在安全浓度下,其结果为内脏团鳃肌肉,内脏团对于Cd2+富集能力远高于肌肉。讨论了青蛤的养殖环境及产品检验等问题。     

镉胁迫对大弹涂鱼(Boleophthalmus pectinirostris)血细胞遗传损伤的研究

以大弹涂鱼为研究对象,应用单细胞凝胶电泳技术并结合外周血基因组DNA琼脂糖凝胶电泳,研究了镉胁迫对大弹涂鱼外周血细胞的遗传损伤。结果表明:(1)镉对大弹涂鱼外周血细胞是遗传毒性而非细胞毒性,并且产生的遗传损伤存在显著(P0.01或P0.05)的剂量效应,染毒1h的大弹涂鱼的全长和尾长与浓度的相关方程分别是y=29.592x-10.576(r2=0.9786),y=28.417x-14.859(r2=0.9857),染毒2h的大弹涂鱼的全长和尾长与浓度的相关方程分别是y=32.044x-5.0235(r2=0.941),y=29.911x-9.539(r2=0.9635)。(2)DNA的损伤程度和污染胁迫之间存在着时间效应。以上结果表明,DNA损伤可作为大弹涂鱼受镉胁迫时的生物指标。     

鳗弧菌(Vibrio anguillarum)侵染对青蛤(Cyclina sinensis)磷酸酶活性的影响

对500个成体青蛤分别用鳗弧菌和生理盐水注射,在感染后3h、6h、12h、24h和36h分别取不同处理组的肝胰脏、鳃和闭壳肌组织,测定上述样品的碱性磷酸酶(ALP)及酸性磷酸酶(ACP)活性,分析鳗弧菌对青蛤体内免疫相关酶活性的影响。结果表明,鳗弧菌感染组的ALP与ACP活性从高到低依次为肝胰脏鳃闭壳肌,其中青蛤肝胰脏和鳃组织中ALP和ACP活性均有显著升高的趋势,并且在12h时达到最高,与对照组差异显著(P0.05),随后呈现下降趋势。而青蛤闭壳肌组织中侵染组ALP和ACP活性与对照组之间没有显著差异(P0.05)。鳗弧菌对青蛤的磷酸酶活性影响较大,对其免疫防御系统有明显的刺激作用。     

黄海西北近岸沉积物中细菌群落空间分布特征

采用16S rDNA文库和变性梯度凝胶电泳(DGGE)技术,对黄海西北部3个近岸站位沉积物中细菌群落多样性及空间分布特征进行了调查和解析。对表层沉积物16S rDNA序列统计表明,各站位细菌群落多样性很高,γ-和δ-变形菌纲分别占克隆序列总数的20%~32%,是沉积物中的绝对优势类群。DGGE图谱分析表明,同一站位中不同深度的细菌群落结构相似性较高,而不同站位间群落结构相差较远。研究表明在黄海西北近岸沉积物中细菌群落多样性较高,优势类群明显,在较小尺度范围内群落结构的垂直变化不明显。     

Coral assemblages and reef growth in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (Western Pacific Ocean)

Reef development varies considerably around the high, raised‐limestone islands of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). Here we examine the modern assemblages at 30 sites for coral composition, colony density, colony size, and fidelity. We defined four reef types and hypothesize the presence of environmentally driven ecological stasis, whereby the environment continuously selects for coral species membership, defines colony sizes, and over time creates the noted reef types. Our results show that constructional spur‐and‐groove reefs supported significantly larger coral‐colony sizes and higher coral species richness compared with high‐relief interstitial framework, low‐relief incipient, and non‐constructional coral assemblages. Non‐constructional reefs supported much smaller coral colony sizes, despite similar population densities, and were consistently found in association with high wave exposure. The distinct coral assemblages found on interstitial framework and low‐relief incipient reefs were not affiliated with any wave exposure regime, but were located adjacent to large watersheds and on islands with unique geological history. These assemblages were nested within the spur‐and‐groove species pool. Overall, modern coral cover was well predicted by bathymetric slope and watershed size, while species richness was additively influenced by two proxies of pollution, suggesting the latter is better suited for establishing management targets. In contrast with previous studies that suggested modern assemblages were biologically controlled in the CNMI, we show reef assemblages and reef development are highly influenced by long‐term environmental forcing.     

Pipe laying simulation with an active reel drive

Dynamic and quasi-static models for analysis of a pipe lay spread are presented in the paper. Depending on the type of a pipe, spooling it on a big drum (reel) may cause plastic deformations. When the pipe is reeled out at sea, again it undergoes plastic deformations. In order to model such a nonlinear behaviour, a model, which includes both elasto-plastic material characteristics and large deformations, is required. Discretisation of the pipe is performed by means of the Rigid Finite Element Method (RFEM), which allows us to study static and dynamic problems, taking into account required properties of the model. Different sea conditions are simulated and analysed. It is shown how operational conditions can limit the ability of laying operation by a dedicated vessel, due to an unstable system response. The second part of the paper presents an upgrade of a passive reel drive by application of an active drive. In the model used for control applications, the pipe is modelled by a neural network. This allows us to perform a real-time calculations. In this fast-response calculation model, nonlinear aspects of the system are taken into account. The improvements in a pipe laying vessel performance are presented by some results of numerical simulations. The conclusions are also formulated.
