Preliminary investigation of mercury in bone tissues of skua and penguin in Antarctica using AFS and Synchrotron Radiation X-ray Fluorescence （SR-XRF）

Mercury （Hg） was investigated in bone tissues of skua （ Catharacta maccormick） and penguin （Pygoscelis adeliae） collected in the maritime Antarctic using atomic fluorescence spectrometry （AFS） and synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence （SR-XRF） method. The total levels of mercury in bone tissues of penguin and skua are much lower than those in other organs （e. g. , kidney, liver）. The toxic effects of mercury in bone tissues of seabirds in polar region are not known. We have used SR- XRF method to map the distribution of trace levels of mercury in bones. The levels of mercury are found to be enriched somewhere near the periosteal surface and/or endosteal surface. The distribution of mercury shows strongly correlation with that of some essential elements and probably poses negative effect on the bone metabolism inferring from the relationship of mercury with the other elements. These studies represent a first step toward understanding the toxic effects of mercury on bone of polar animals by suggesting the possible microscopic investigation.

用地申请被否决之后……——修武县周庄国土资源所服务新农村建设纪事

"新农村建设是大事,改善群众的物质文化生活,给广大村民提供休闲、娱乐、健身的良好环境是好事,我们积极支持,但占用耕地建游园坚决不行,这是原则问题".修武县周庄国土资源所所长薛晨生这番话一出口,来递用地申请的五里堡村村委李主任满面春风的笑容不见了,铁青着脸甩手离开了国土所办公室,这是前不久发生在修武县周庄国土资源所的一幕.

Virtual Huanghe River System： Framework and Technology

1 Introduction Huanghe (Yellow) River basin is located in 32°–42°N, 96°–119°E. The area of the catchment is more than 752,000km2. The river is 5464km long with a drop in elevation of 4830m. Among the whole area, the moun- tainous and stone area accounts for 29%, loess and hills area 46%, sandy area 11% and plain area 14%, respec- tively. Different natural landscapes exist in this area. The Huanghe River flows through the Loess Plateau, where the soil is eroded seriously (Wang, 2002;…     

显性语法知识传授中的发现原则

尽管语法在交际教学法鼎盛时期一度遭到冷遇，但现在又重新被英语语言教学所接纳，作为一种新的语法教学方式，发现原则综合了传统归纳发和演绎法的长处，概述了发现原则的理论依据，指出发现原则旨在鼓励学习者积极参与而非被动接受，符合当前认知主义对二语学习的认识。     

应用柔性气囊技术增强船舶不沉性

遇险船舶遭受着浮性损失或稳性损失，这种损失无限制的增大，必将导致船舶的沉没。论述了应用柔性气囊技术，解决遇险船舶在浮性损失或稳性增大时而沉没的问题。柔性气囊对船体的作用力位于船舷之外。当用气囊弥补浮力损失时，基本上都可使浮力位于受损船舱附近，因此能同时减缓或消除浮力损失及倾覆力矩。当主要用其来扶正船体时，它所产生的扶正力臂长、扶正力矩大，能有效减缓或消除倾覆力矩的影响，并且船舶恢复正位后，不存在过剩力矩。空气相对于水体更容易控制．因此．采用与气囊具有更高的灵活性。     

地壳不同时代构造单元黑色页岩层含金性的比较分析

碳质陆源火山岩层中常产有大型金矿床，目前对研究黑色页岩层的含金性给予很大的注意。本文研究了西伯利亚地台元古代盆地中金矿田碳质陆源岩石内金的分布和含铜的碳质陆源建造内岩石的金分布，还收集了地球上其他地区有关碳质生成物的本底含金性。在此基础上，发现具有不同矿化黑色页岩建造的地球化学差异，以及地壳不同构造单元内同类型碳质岩石中金含量的时代变异性。
