ECOLOGICAL SERIES OF SOIL ANIMALS IN DARLIDAI MOUNTAIN

The ecological series of soil animals under the broad-leaved and pine mixed forest in Darlidai Mountainwas studied. Seven sample plots were selected according to different altitude gradients, which belong to different vegeta-tion types. By investigating and analyzing soil animals in every sample plot it is found that there are 45 groups and 1956individuals, which axe involved in 3 phylums, 7 classes, 16 orders, respectively. The altitude is a key factor which af-fects ecological series of soil animals. Both the groups and individuals of soil animals increase with altitude increasingunder certain conditions, which contrastes with ordinary cases, resulting from special micro-climate in studied area. Thegroups and individuls of soil animals are the most under the broad-leaved and pine forest on the top of the mountain, andthe least under Picea-Abies forest in the foot of the mountain.     

Influence of the Choice of Core-Envelope Transition Point on the Binary Merger of Two Main-sequence Components

We have studied the influence of different choices of core-envelope transition point on the final merger of contact binaries with two main-sequence components. A binary of 1.00 + 0.90M⊙ with an initial orbital period of 0.35d is examined. The mass fraction of the primary mixed with the matter of the secondary, qmix, determined by the chosen core-envelope transition point, ranges from 0.04 to 1.00 in our analysis. If as qmix< 0.8, none of the     

Heat-shock protein 70 expression in shrimp Fenneropenaeus chinensis during thermal and immune-challenged stress

Using western immunoblotting, we obtained heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70) induction data and distribution in different tissues from shrimp Fenneropenaeus chinensis during thermal and immune-challenged stresses. This is probably the first report of the effects of various stressors on the expression of HSP70 in shrimp.HSP70 was prominently induced in hepatopancreas and gills, but not in muscle, eyestalk and hemolymph, when the shrimp were exposed to heat shock and Vibrio anguillavium-challenged stresses. Cold shock and WSSV treatment had no significant effects on the levels of HSP70 expression in all tissues examined. HSP70 induction was greatest after 2 h exposure to heat shock stress, which was elevated after acute heat shock exposure of 10℃ above ambient temperature.     

Final report of IGCP Project 410 （1997-2002）——The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Macquarie University, North Ryde, NSW 2109, Australia. E-mail： bwebby@laurel.ocs.mq.edu.au

In 1997, IGCP Project No. 410 was established to appraise known records of Ordovician biotas, in order to evaluate one of the greatest-ever diversifications of life on Earth, between 489 and 443 million years ago. Data collection and analysis of biodiversity were coordinated through seven regional teams, and a global“clade” team.     

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.     

武夷山脉中段晚太古代宇宙尘特征

武夷山脉中段晚太古代宇宙尘赋存于上太古界天井坪组。粒度一般为0．15-0.2mm，最大0.32mm，最小0.042mm,形态呈单球体、不规则形或碎片状，以前者为主。在扫描电镜下表面具烧蚀、蜂巢状气印、气孔状、刺(瘤)突趁、晶洞及偏心双层等结构。宇宙尘由内核和熔壳组成；内核是自然铁(a-Fe)，含Fe、Cr、Ni、Co等元素；熔壳是磁铁矿或方铁矿，除Fe外尚含Si、Al、Cr、Mn、S等元素：根据其结构、构造组成和物质成分的综合分析结果，并与国内文献资料进行对比，本区宇宙尘可能是铁陨石在大气中的消融物或在太空中的碎裂物。     

微波Ⅲ型爆发与日冕物质抛射的统计分析

对国家天文台2.6～3.8GHz频谱仪在第23太阳活动周上升段(1996～1998)记录到的Ⅲ型爆发,与日冕物质抛射(CME)作了统计分析。发现微波Ⅲ型爆发可能是CME的先兆现象,并讨论了它们的辐射机制。     

大海龟——为了生存的挣扎

如果你正在搜集热心的人是如何动员起来帮助一个物种的故事,那么全球范围的拯救大海龟行动将是一个很好的例子。如果不是世界各地人们的积极参与,能在海洋中游过数千千米的这些古老生物,虽然寿命超过人类,但可能已经彻底灭绝了。     

确立生态价值观 构筑和谐可持续发展社会

世界各国的发展都必须面对的是这样一个共同性的基本问题，即人类社会对物质产品数量、性能、品种追求的无限性与自然环境、物质生产及供给能力的有限性之间的矛盾。人类自出现以来就开始努力从自然界中谋求生存并争取更好的生存（发展的本质就在于此），这种努力永不停歇。尽管人类社会追求物质产品的无限性和自然环境供给能力的有限性是客观存在的，但人类认识到他们的存在，特别是认识到这二者之间矛盾的严重性和普遍性，却有一个相当漫长的过程。
