HIGH-ACCURACY ANALYSIS OF SOIL HYDROGEN ANOMALY IN FAULT ZONE

Hydrogen is recognized as one of the most useful gases to detect fault activities. Based on long-term high-accuracy soil hydrogen observation data in fault zones, the paper evaluates the reliability of data according to the distribution of measurements. Through the evaluation of earthquake-reflecting ability of hydrogen concentration, we consider that there is a certain corresponding relationship between hydrogen concentration and seismic activity and we present the judging index for this anomaly. Hydrogen concentration characteristics with the earthquakes within the range of 350km around the station were analyzed, especially the two earthquakes, which occurred on October 24, 2010 and March 8, 2011 in Taikang, Henan Province, with magnitude M_S4.6 and M_S4.1 respectively. The observation station is located at Xiaxian in Shanxi Province, 300km away from the epicenter. In a week before the two earthquakes, high-accuracy soil hydrogen concentration measurements showed similar anomaly variation, which was increasing abruptly, then decreasing, and after the earthquakes it returned to background level. Overall, the changing scope was more than 20 times of the background value. We concluded that the anomaly was affected by tectonic setting of the earthquakes. The similar hydrogen distribution pattern recorded at the same station is attributed to the same tectonic position and focal mechanism solution. The hydrogen could be an effective tool for short-term and imminent earthquake prediction, which provides reference for short-term and imminent earthquake prediction in areas with high earthquake risk.     

黑河流域不同生境植物水分来源及环境指示意义

选择黑河流域三种典型生境类型(绿洲、 绿洲-荒漠过渡带、 荒漠), 通过分析其不同植物木质部水分与其土壤潜在水源稳定氢(δD)和氧(δ¹⁸O)同位素组成, 研究了不同生境中植物的水分来源情况. 结果表明: 荒漠生境中植物倾向于利用深层土壤水(>160 cm); 绿洲-荒漠过渡带中沙蒿和沙拐枣主要利用20~40 cm层位的土壤水, 梭梭可能的利用层位是60~80 cm, 花棒可能利用100 cm左右的水分, 柽柳则利用120 cm以下的土壤水; 绿洲植物吸水层位多集中在0~100 cm, 其中, 假苇拂子茅可能水源是20 cm左右的土壤水, 玉米则为20~40 cm, 柽柳和杨树的吸水层位为60 cm左右, 棉花则是利用80 cm左右的水分. 稳定性同位素估测各生境植物水分来源的结果与其土壤含水量的结果一致, 同一生境中吸水层位相似的植物间存在水分来源竞争. 不同生境中植物水分来源的深浅存在递变, 从深到浅表现为荒漠>过渡带>绿洲, 不同生境同种植物也存在同样变化, 说明植物稳定氢氧同位素组成可以用来指示干旱区绿洲化、 荒漠化过程.     

一氧化氮和过氧化氢对万寿菊不定根形成的影响

以万寿菊（Tagetes erecta L.）为试材,研究了一氧化氮（NO）和过氧化氢（H2O2）对植物不定根形成中的影响及其相互关系。结果表明,外源NO供体肖普纳（SNP）和H2O2可显著地促进万寿菊外植体不定根的形成,且呈现明显的剂量效应,最适的SNP和H2O2浓度分别为50 μM和200 μM。NO和H2O2共同处理的万寿菊不定根的数量和根长显著高于NO或H2O2单独处理。NO在H2O2诱导万寿菊不定根形成的信号途径中起了重要作用;同时,H2O2包含在NO诱导不定根形成途径中。NO引起万寿菊外植体内源H2O2含量增加,H2O2亦促进内源NO积累。可见,NO和H2O2在万寿菊不定根形成过程中具有协同诱导效应,两者在促进不定根形成过程中可能通过互作反应提高各自的信号水平。

Application of stable isotope tracing technologies in identification of transformation among waters in Sanjiang Plain, Northeast China

In order to investigate the transformation among the precipitation,groundwater,and surface water in the Sanjiang Plain,Northeast China,precipitation and groundwater samples which were collected at the meteorological station of the Sanjiang Mire Wetland Experimental Station,Chinese Academy of Sciences and the surface water which collected from the Wolulan River were used to identify the transformation of three types of water.The isotope composition of different kinds of water sources were analyzed via stable isotope(deuterium and oxygen-18) investigation of natural water.The results show a clear seasonal difference in the stable isotopes in precipitation.During the cold half-year,the mean stable isotope in precipitation in the Sanjiang Plain reaches its minimum with the minimum temperature.The δ18O and δD values are high in the rainy season.In the Wolulan River,the evaporation is the highest in August and September.The volume of evaporation and the replenishment to the river is mostly same.The groundwater is recharged more by the direct infiltration of precipitation than by the river flow.The results of this study indicate that the water bodies in the Sanjiang Plain have close hydrologic relationships,and that the transformation among each water system frequently occurs.     

Neutral hydrogen in nearby 3C radio galaxies

Observations of three nearby 3C radio galaxies, 3C430, 3C449, and 3C465, with the Nan?ay radio telescope (France) reveal for the first time the 21 cm absorption line of neutral hydrogen. The line is blue shifted by several hundred km/s in all three objects. This can probably be explained by an outflow of neutral hydrogen from the parent galaxies.

Cold gas accretion in galaxies

Evidence for the accretion of cold gas in galaxies has been rapidly accumulating in the past years. HI observations of galaxies and their environment have brought to light new facts and phenomena which are evidence of ongoing or recent accretion: (1) A large number of galaxies are accompanied by gas-rich dwarfs or are surrounded by HI cloud complexes, tails and filaments. This suggests ongoing minor mergers and recent arrival of external gas. It may be regarded, therefore, as direct evidence of cold gas accretion in the local universe. It is probably the same kind of phenomenon of material infall as the stellar streams observed in the halos of our galaxy and M 31. (2) Considerable amounts of extra-planar HI have been found in nearby spiral galaxies. While a large fraction of this gas is undoubtedly produced by galactic fountains, it is likely that a part of it is of extragalactic origin. Also the Milky Way has extra-planar gas complexes: the Intermediate- and High-Velocity Clouds (IVCs and HVCs). (3) Spirals are known to have extended and warped outer layers of HI. It is not clear how these have formed, and how and for how long the warps can be sustained. Gas infall has been proposed as the origin. (4) The majority of galactic disks are lopsided in their morphology as well as in their kinematics. Also here recent accretion has been advocated as a possible cause. In our view, accretion takes place both through the arrival and merging of gas-rich satellites and through gas infall from the intergalactic medium (IGM). The new gas could be added to the halo or be deposited in the outer parts of galaxies and form reservoirs for replenishing the inner parts and feeding star formation. The infall may have observable effects on the disk such as bursts of star formation and lopsidedness. We infer a mean “visible” accretion rate of cold gas in galaxies of at least . In order to reach the accretion rates needed to sustain the observed star formation (), additional infall of large amounts of gas from the IGM seems to be required.     

昆明市黑龙潭岩溶泉氢氧稳定同位素分析

黑龙潭位于昆明市北缘的五老山山麓,沿黑龙潭东支断裂带出露地表,该区分布三个岩溶泉,分别是:清水潭、浑水潭、小水潭,文章运用氢氧稳定同位素方法对它们进行连续的观测研究。通过对大气降水和泉水氢氧稳定同位素特征进行分析,揭示研究区岩溶泉水的来源及泉域含水层特征。得出以下结论:（1）通过大气降水δ18O -δD 关系建立当地大气降水线,大气降水线和泉水的稳定同位素分析表明泉水来源于大气降水,而且主要来源于夏季降水。（2）高斯混合模型分析结果表明,清水潭的补给不仅来源于野猫山地区,还包括径流过程中的入渗补给,而且入渗补给量并不小。浑水潭旱雨两季补给类型有所区别。小水潭除受北部二叠系灰岩含水层补给之外,很有可能也受东北部玄武岩山地的孔洞裂隙水补给。      

江西德兴斑岩铜矿两期石英脉的地球化学对比

德兴斑岩铜矿发育两种类型的石英脉 (Q1型和 Q2型 ). Q1型石英脉与绢云母绿泥石化伴随,是主成矿期的产物,由石英、黄铁矿、黄铜矿、少量方解石和绢云母组成 ;Q2型石英脉形成于成矿晚期,与硅化伴随,由石英和方解石组成.对两期石英脉进行了单矿物微量元素特征、氢氧同位素组成和流体包裹体测温等方面的研究.结果表明, Q1型石英脉中的石英 (以下简称为 Q1型石英 )富 Ti (> 10 μ g/g), Q2型石英脉中的石英 (以下简称为 Q2型石英 ) Li含量极高 (> 300 μ g/g); Q2型石英脉的流体氢同位素值低于 Q1型石英脉;虽然 Q2型石英脉的形成晚于 Q1型石英脉,但 Q2型石英脉的形成温度明显高于 Q1型石英脉.通过对 Q1型和 Q2型石英脉的地球化学对比,认为两种类型石英脉是由演化程度不同的岩浆分异出的流体形成的,大气降水的加入和岩浆脱气作用可能对流体化学特征有一定影响,两期流体的矿化特性不同. Q1型石英脉以交代方式形成,继承了岩浆成因石英的部分地球化学特征.     

The variation of turbulent diapycnal mixing at 18°N in the South China Sea stirred by wind stress

The spatial and temporal variations of turbulent diapycnal mixing along 18°N in the South China Sea(SCS) are estimated by a fine-scale parameterization method based on strain, which is obtained from CTD measurements in yearly September from 2004 to 2010. The section mean diffusivity can reach ~10~(–4)m~2/s, which is an order of magnitude larger than the value in the open ocean. Both internal tides and wind-generated near-inertial internal waves play an important role in furnishing the diapycnal mixing here. The former dominates the diapycnal mixing in the deep ocean and makes nonnegligible contribution in the upper ocean, leading to enhanced diapycnal mixing throughout the water column over rough topography. In contrast, the influence of the wind-induced nearinertial internal wave is mainly confined to the upper ocean. Over both flat and rough bathymetries, the diapycnal diffusivity has a growth trend from 2005 to 2010 in the upper 700 m, which results from the increase of wind work on the near-inertial motions.
