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.

重庆地面最高气温与最大风速年极值的渐近分布

利用重庆1951-1990年间地面最高气温和1956-1990年间地面最大风速年极值的记录,采用韦伯分布和耿贝尔分布分别对其渐近分布进行拟合.通过统计推断,找出重庆地面最高气温和地面最大风速年极值遵循的最佳渐近分布--韦伯分布.     

分子云ORION—IL的CH3CN Jk=6k—5k谱线的观测

使用名古屋大学４米毫米波射电望远镜于１９９５年１月对对分子云ＯＲＩＯＮ－ＩＬ区域的ＣＨ３ＣＮＪｋ＝６ｋ－５ｋ谱线进行了观测，得到了该区域的５点的谱线。该谱线的观测为青海站１３．７米毫米波射电望远镜提供了又一条可供观测的分子谱线。

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;…     

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。
