Geochemical survey of thermal system in Northeast China and their geothermometric characters

The chemical composition of several thermal springs around Changbaishan area has been investigated. Cenozoic basaltic rocks are widely distributed in Northeast China and geothermal characteristics have been described. About one hundred hot springs exist around Changhaishan Volcano at the border between China and D.P.R.Korea with high temperature about 82~C. The pH values of the spring water range from 6.9 to 7.1 and the total flow rate is about 4.8 L/sec. The chemical composition of the thermal springs is sodium carbonate; the high-mineral contents of thermal water are believed to have medicinal properties. Bathhouses are already built along the hot springs to take the advantage of the supposed healing properties. The high quality of those hot springs is believed to be utilitized for mineral water. The chemical equilibrium temperatures were estimated at about 160℃ based on the Na-K-Ca geochemical thermometer.     

Size-Flux Relation in Solar Active Regions

We present a study of the relationship between integral area and corresponding total magnetic flux for solar active regions. It is shown that some of these relationships are satisfied to simple power laws. Fractal examination showed that some of these power laws can not be justified inside the simple models of stationary magnetic flux tube aggregation. All magnetic fluxes and corresponding areas were calculated using the data measured with the Solar Magnetic Field Telescope of the Huairou Solar Observing Station in Beijing.     

An aromatase inhibitor and tamoxifen decrease plasma levels of o,p'-DDT and its metabolites in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

The objective of this study was to determine if tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor (4-hydroxyandrostenedione; 4-OHA) affected plasma concentrations of o,p' -DDT and its metabolites, o,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDE, in mature tilapia. Male and female tilapia were injected 6 times intraperitoneally with o,p'-DDT (40 mg/kg) alone or in combination with 4-OHA (2 mg/kg) over a 12 day period. An additional group of male fish was injected with tamoxifen (5 mg/kg) plus o,p'-DDT. At the end of the treatment period, plasma samples were extracted and analyzed by GC/ECD. Females injected only with o,p'-DDT had significantly higher levels of o,p'-DDT compared with males. Interestingly, females and males treated concomitantly with o,p'-DDT and 4-OHA or tamoxifen had significantly lower concentrations of plasma o,p'-DDT (about 50%) compared with fish treated with only o,p'-DDT. These initial results suggest that an interaction between endocrine-active compounds occurs in vivo in tilapia and may involve alterations in metabolism of o,p'-DDT.     

西北巴拉望GSEC66.区块深水区石油潜力

本文论述了Philodfill GSEC66区块，即人们称之为“西北Malampaya区块”的石油潜力评价结果。相信该区块存在主要烃类聚集所必需的要素。可能的烃源岩是深水尼多灰岩，早第三纪同裂谷期前尼多沉积和前第三纪沉积。潜在储集层包括尼多礁隆、尼多和前尼多碎屑岩和，或破碎碳酸盐岩，早中新世Galoc碎屑浊积岩和前尼多沉积。该地区识别出的主要油藏类型是晚渐新世一早中新世礁和侵蚀／喀斯特碳酸岩高地。在对已有的1982年以前地震资料评价后，又采集了1，625km的地震资料。新的地震资料解释后，在这一地区划出了11个预选区，其中2个勘探区（Santa Monica和Ipil勘探区）。Santa Monica是在尼多灰岩上圈出的一个十字倾角圈闭，垂直闭合高度超过457m，闭合面积超过83km^2。Ipil勘探区发育在尼多灰岩台地面上，具缓倾闭合特征，闭合面积超过47km^2，垂直闭合高度122m。这个大型勘探圈出的技术价值与菲律宾十分有利的深水勘探条件及其邻近的即将开发的Malapaya—Camago油气田结合，使这一区块成为今后勘探工作中一个极具前景的地区。     

郯庐断裂在渤海海域的地质特征及其演化

纵贯我国东部的郯庐断裂带，切割穿越不同的构造单元，有着长期复杂的演化历史。对地质构造、地层发育、岩浆活动、矿产及地震活动均有明显的控制作用。其中山东沂沐断带、渤海郯庐断带和下辽河断带都是郯庐断裂带重要组成部分。因此，研究郯庐断带的性质及演化历史有极其重要的意义。但关于郯庐断裂的性质众说纷云，     

我国东部及其海域的构造与板块构造的关系

我国东部及其海域，地处欧亚板块与太平洋板块接触带。太平洋板块向欧亚板块俯冲，因而影响和控制着上述地区构造的形成和发展。构成我国东部地区构造格架的北北东向隆起带和沉降带，是太平洋板块向西北俯冲的结果。中、新生代以来我国东部及其海域，岩浆活动具水平分带性及水平迁移性；在时间上具多旋回的特点。
