Mussels document loss of bioavailable polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and the return to baseline conditions for oiled shorelines in Prince William Sound, Alaska

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were measured in mussels (Mytilus trossulus) collected between 1990 and 2002 from 11 sites on the shores of Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska, that were heavily oiled by the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS). This study, utilizing the methods of the NOAA Status and Trends Mussel Watch Program, found that concentrations of PAH released from spill remnants have decreased dramatically with time and by 2002 were at or near the range of total PAH (TPAH) of 3-355 ng/g dry weight obtained for mussels from unoiled reference sites in PWS. Time-series TPAH data indicate a mean TPAH half-life in mussel tissues of 2.4 years with a range from 1.4 to 5.3, yielding an annual mean loss of bioaccumulated TPAH of 25%. The petroleum-derived TPAH fraction in mussel tissues has decreased with time, reflecting the decreasing release of EVOS residues in shoreline sediments. These results show that PAH from EVOS residues that remain buried in shoreline sediments after the early 1990s are in a form and at locations that have a low accessibility to mussels living in the intertidal zone.     

广西姑婆山里松花岗岩中闪长质包体的地球化学特征及其成因探讨

广西姑婆山里松花岗岩中广泛发育有大量的闪长质包体,包体的野外地质特征、显微结构、矿物组合及化学组成等特征显示其岩浆快速结晶成因。它们的主量元素在相关图上呈不同程度的直线变异关系。在微量元素方面,包体和寄主花岗岩都富含大离子亲石元素和高场强元素。用锆石饱和温度和角闪石成分估算了包体和寄主花岗岩结晶的温度和压力表明,它们的结晶温度和压力条件相近,分别在793—824℃和（3．5—5．1）×10^8Pa范围内。岩石学和同位素地球化学特征也表明,里松包体和寄主花岗岩基本同时结晶,但壳幔比例和来源有所不同。这些特征总体上说明了里松闪长质包体可能是两种岩浆混合时不完全消化的产物     

A Measurement of Omega from the North American Test Flight of Boomerang

We use the angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background, measured during the North American test flight of the Boomerang experiment, to constrain the geometry of the universe. Within the class of cold dark matter models, we find that the overall fractional energy density of the universe Omega is constrained to be 0.85相似文献   

H2Pb2Fe4[（Te，S）O4]9·9H2O：东坪金矿的未定名碲酸盐矿物

东坪金矿是产于正长杂岩内接触带的特大型金矿床。矿石以富碲、少硫化物为特点。主要载金矿物为自然金和金、银碲化物。后包裹于黄铁矿为主的硫化物内,属于氰化法的“难溶金”,在表生条件下的氧化产物种类丰富的含金碲酸盐相中含量与自然金相当。     

冀西北水泉沟正长岩杂岩体成因机制及成岩成矿时代探讨

华北克拉通北缘富碱侵入岩带是我国重要的金矿成矿带,金矿成矿与克拉通边缘深大断裂的活动、富碱侵入岩岩浆活动关系密切。河北张-宣地区与正长岩有关的金矿床产于水泉沟正长岩杂岩体的内外接触带,与水泉沟碱性杂岩体有成因联系。近年来对其及与之有关的金(碲)矿化进行了深入研究,现就岩体成因、岩体形成年龄及金矿化年龄代等问题作一简要探讨。
