Dust supply from river floodplains: the case of the lower Huang He (Yellow River) recorded in a loess–palaeosol sequence from the Mangshan Plateau

The Mangshan Plateau is located on the south bank of the Huang He (Yellow River) just west of the city of Zhengzhou, well outside the Loess Plateau in central China. Mixing models of the grain‐size data indicate that the loess deposits are mixtures of three loess components. Comparison of the mixing model with existing models established for a series of loess–palaeosol sequences from the Loess Plateau indicates that the Mangshan loess has been supplied from a proximal dust source, the Huang He floodplain, during major dust outbreaks. The high accumulation rates, the composition of the loess components, and especially the high proportions of a sandy loess component support this. Owing to the exceptionally high accumulation rates, the Mangshan grain size, magnetic susceptibility and carbonate records provide a high‐resolution archive of environmental and climate change.

Effect of spatial variation characteristics on contouring of design storm depth

The ordinary kriging method, a geostatistical interpolation technique, was applied for developing contour maps of design storm depth in northern Taiwan using intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) data. Results of variogram modelling on design storm depths indicate that the design storms can be categorized into two distinct storm types: (i) storms of short duration and high spatial variation and (ii) storms of long duration and less spatial variation. For storms of the first category, the influence range of rainfall depth decreases when the recurrence interval increases, owing to the increasing degree of their spatial independence. However, for storms of the second category, the influence range of rainfall depth does not change significantly and has an average of approximately 72 km. For very extreme events, such as events of short duration and long recurrence interval, we do not recommend usage of the established design storm contours, because most of the interstation distances exceed the influence ranges. Our study concludes that the influence range of the design storm depth is dependent on the design duration and recurrence interval and is a key factor in developing design storm contours.

A Preliminary Study of Quantitative Distribution of Benthic Animals in the East China Sea Continental Shelf and Its Adiacent Waters

In October and November of 1977 and September and October of 1978,a quantitative survey of benthic animals was conducted in the East China Sea Continental Shelf and its adjacent waters(26°00'-34°00'N,124°00'-129°00'E,water depth 39-1550m),where 307 stations were dredged and 1200 samples collected.     

健康型牛蛙饲料养殖牛蛙的试验

本研究采用5种中草药添加剂配方的膨化饲料进行了为期36d的牛蛙养殖对比试验.结果表明，饲料中添加有中草药制剂的日摄食量明显大于对照组，日增重显著比对照组的高.而且大大加快了生长速度，缩短养殖周期，同时减少了染病机率，牛蛙体色鲜艳、光泽度极佳.     

褐藻酸降解菌侵染海带过程的超微结构观察

首次研究了褐藻酸降解菌侵入海带的途径，通过电镜观察，跟踪研究了褐藻酸降解菌染海带过程中海带表皮细胞壁的超微结构变化。结果表明，褐藻酸降解侵染海带的过程是首先引起海带表皮细胞壁藻胶层表面的破坏，然后引起藻胶层的断裂，并使藻胶层逐渐降解变突，最后褐藻酸降解菌通过海带细胞的壁藻胶层的断裂变突处进入海带细胞内。     

牙鲆肠淋巴样组织免疫细胞研究Ⅰ：颗粒细胞的超微结构*

本文探讨了电镜下牙鲆(Paralichthys olivaceus)肠淋巴样组织内颗粒细胞的形态特点及其变化过程。颗粒细胞经鉴定为嗜酸性颗粒细胞，常存在于肠黏膜层及黏膜下层靠近肌肉层的淋巴腔中，以具有大型非匀质颗粒为其主要特征。牙鲆肠淋巴样组织内嗜酸性颗粒细胞的变化可分为增长期、成熟期、分泌期和衰退期四个时期，嗜酸性颗粒细胞具有明显的外排现象说明肠淋巴样组织是鱼类免疫防御系统的重要组成部分。     

多源遥感数据综合解译鄂尔多斯盆地杭锦旗地区地质构造

利用多源遥感数据假彩色合成、融合及纹理分析等增强处理方法提取研究区构造信息,进而对研究区进行综合解译;通过分析水系、色调、纹理、地貌及岩性等特征,判断出杭锦旗地区存在一小一大、内外相套的2个环形构造,发育的北西向、北东向2组共轭断层和一组北北西向断层,与环形构造相互构架,构成研究区特殊的构造体系。经分析预测,这些构造是受周边南北向构造应力共同挤压而形成。
