Foreword

Ocean circulation in the Yellow and East China Seas is very rich in mesoscale phenomena, such as eddies, fronts, upwellings, river plumes, etc. Among others, having drawn tremendous attention from oceanographic community in the past for nearly 50 years are mainly the Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass (YSCWM) and its related circulation, the Yellow Sea Warm Current (YSWC), the East China Sea     

用鲑鱼的命换我们的美丽?

在芝加哥,有一位名叫拉姆的女士是化妆品推销员。每天的午饭,必定会有大马哈鱼(即鲑鱼)下肚。将鲑鱼身上涂抹少许奶油,再放到烤炉里不断调节电磁热辐射量,很快就能烹饪出味美色香的精制鲑鱼。拉姆说, “根据补充营养的标准,鲑鱼肉能使人返老还童。”而且她一直在实践鲑鱼的美容效果。由鲑鱼的价值连城而引发     

国际构造图:四十年的道路

本文回顾了国际构造图的创意及编制历史,揭示了该项工作对地质科学发展的重要性。它既反映了关于地球演化观念之变化,也反映了固定论地槽—造山带—地台说为活动论板块构造理论所取代的过程。 早在18世纪就有了编制地质图的最初尝试,但基本上是没有时代概念的岩性图。19世纪初,随着真正地质图的出现,地质学才真正成为科学。然而,普通地质图不能充分反映地壳构造     

Marine Ingressive Events Recorded in Epicontinental Sequences:Example from the Cretaceous Songliao Basin of NE China in Comparison with the Triassic Central Europe Basin of SW Germany

Songliao Basin is filled predominantly with continental facies sediments including alluvial fan, fluvial plain, fan delta , lacustrine delta, shore ?shallow lacustrine, beach salty flat, semi - deep to deep lacustrine, subaqueous gravity flow, lacustrine swamp and pyroclastic sediments. However, some event units were formed during lake - marine linking periods of the Mid - Cretaceous in the basin, which include black shales with high values for salinity ( Sr/Ba) , alkalinity (Ca Mg)/ (Si Al) , reducibility ( Ni Zn)/Ga and sulfide sulfur as well as heavy isotopes. The Breitenholz ?section to be represen-ted for facies comparison with the Cretaceous evaporitic series in Northeast China is localized in Southwest Germany. Stratig-raphically it belongs to the Crabfeld Formation of Keuper of the Germanic Triassic corresponding to Ladinian - Camian of the international reference scale, and is generally called Lower Gipskeuper. The Germanic Triassic was deposited in the epiconti-nental(cratonic) central Euro     

Effect of Ploughing Depth on the Growth and Yield of Heracleum candicans： a Threatened Medicinal Herb and a Less-explored Potential Crop of the Himalayan Region

This paper examines the effect of ploughing depths （A -- 60 cm, B -- 45 cm and C -- 30 cm） on the growth and yield of Heracleum candicans Wall （Apiaceae）, a threatened medicinal herb of the Himalayan region. This less-explored plant is being suggested as a potential crop for the mountain agriculture. The study was carried out in an orchard in Himachal Pradesh, India at 2500 m altitude, for two successive growth years. During the first year, all plants remained in juvenile state; in the second year, nearly 65 % plants produced flowers only under 60cm ploughing depth. Among its morphological traits, plant height, collar diameter and aboveground flesh weight were found to be strongly correlated （P 〈 0.01） with the belowground biomass during the first year （r =0.968, 0.925 and 0.973, respectively） and during the second year （r=0.945, 0.928 and 0.775, respectively）. Increase in the ploughing depth was significantly correlated （P〈0.01） with all growth parameters, including the belowground dry weight, marketable portion of the produce. The belowground biomass （commercial yield; 16.28 Qt/hec） at depth A was about 2.6 and 4.7 times higher than those recorded at depths B and C, respectively. The results clearly justify the importance of deep ploughing and this paper strongly recommends it for economically sustainable cropping.     

八十年代英国中学地理教学

八十年代,地理教学在英国学校中占有众所承认的地位,英国学校把地理教学纳入教程的方式因地方教育机构所管理的学校学制不同而异。最普遍的学制是5～11岁的儿童上小学,9—13岁的儿童上中学,这些学校均将地理纳入综合的教学课程中,或做为环境教育的部分内容。
