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.

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。

辽南庄河地区辽河群正向滑脱构造变形特征及其找矿意义

辽南庄河地区辽河群变形型式独特。由于群内分层剪切作用，岩层构造置换强烈，伸展构造形迹发育，变形特征清楚，属正向韧脆性滑脱构造系统的上盘组成部分。其运动方向由北东而南西，形成时间早于中生代。不同级别的滑脱面构造，由于晚期构造作用影响，在早期韧脆性变形的基础上叠加了脆性变形，形成构造角砾岩带。沿角砾岩带蚀变普遍，金元素及其伴生元素含量明显高于两侧围岩，个别地段可达工业品位，构成矿体。因而，在辽河群出露区域鉴别同类型构造，沿滑脱面寻找受破碎带控制的蚀变构造岩型金矿，具有重要的找矿意义。
