20世纪90年代国外花岗岩类研究的某些重 展

对20世纪90年代国外花岗岩类研究几个方面的进展情况进行了评述：I型／S型花岗岩成因的新模式、磁铁矿系列、钛铁矿毓花岗岩成因、从ISAM到以综合标志为基础的新的花岗岩地球动力学分类、从以大陆边缘板块俯冲带为主扩大到大陆内部碰撞造山带的花岗岩研究地域及太古宙TTG成因，并力图阐明提出问题和解决问题的思路及着手研究的途径。这些内容表明花岗岩研究已进入一个新的发展阶段，即从以个别岩体、央套为主的研究发展到对全球不同构造背景下的花岗岩进行地球动力学研究。作为地壳重要组成的花岗岩物质可以作为地球动力学环境的标志及其演化的示踪剂，反演出不同地球动力学环境下大陆地壳的形成和再循环过程。

空间数据处理中的Voroni方法

空间数据的内插，误差估计，动态多边形构成和编辑是ＧＩＳ中比较复杂的问题，其中大部分与空间邻接这一拓扑性质有关，现有的栅格结构与矢量结构采取取完全不同的处理方式，为了达成观察两种基础数据结构统一的认训。加拿大测绘学者们发展了空间数据结构的Ｖｏｒｏｎｏｉ方法。     

Benthic primary producers--a neglected environmental problem in Mediterranean maricultures?

Marine fish farming is increasing rapidly in the Mediterranean and in contrast to the Atlantic the coastal zone in the Mediterranean is characterized by clear waters with high transparency. This allows benthic primary producers such as the slow-growing seagrass Posidonia oceanica to grow at large depths at locations suitable for fish farming and generating a conflict between the conservation of these meadows and the growth of aquaculture operations in the Mediterranean. In this paper we review the current knowledge on environmental interactions between fish farming and benthic primary producers with particular focus on P. oceanica, as this seagrass is a key component along Mediterranean coasts. The recovery times of P. oceanica are very long, in the order of centuries, and losses of this species are thus considered to be irreversible at managerial time scales.     

First Results from Viper: Detection of Small-scale Anisotropy at 40 GHz

Using all available major samples of Seyfert galaxies and their corresponding closely matched control samples of nonactive galaxies, we find that the bar ellipticities (or axial ratios) in Seyfert galaxies are systematically different from those in nonactive galaxies. Overall, there is a deficiency of bars with large ellipticities (i.e., "thin" or "strong" bars) in Seyfert galaxies compared to nonactive galaxies. Accompanied with a large dispersion due to small number statistics, this effect is strictly speaking at the 2 sigma level. To obtain this result, the active galaxy samples of near-infrared surface photometry were matched to those of normal galaxies in type, host galaxy ellipticity, absolute magnitude, and, to some extent, redshift. We discuss possible theoretical explanations of this phenomenon within the framework of galactic evolution, and, in particular, of radial gas redistribution in barred galaxies. Our conclusions provide further evidence that Seyfert hosts differ systematically from their nonactive counterparts on scales of a few kiloparsecs.
