长江口和黄东海沉积物单矿物分选的常用方法和流程

沉积物碎屑矿物组分既受物源控制,又受水动力影响,单矿物分选应首先选取适当的粒级,细砂粒级经常采用,但不是固定在这一粒级;控制重液密度是重液分选的关键环节,不同目标矿物,可通过调配不同的比重液进行分离分选,并可使用离心重液法提高分选效能;磁选是分选不同磁性特征矿物的简单便捷方法,钕铁硼强磁铁的使用,可部分代替电磁分选仪的功能,对样品量少、矿物种类多、磁性变化大地矿物组合可起到重要的分组作用;化学分选采用不同浓度的各种溶剂在不同条件下处理试样,有选择性地溶掉妨碍矿物,留下目标矿物;手工分选单矿物重点在于剔除其他方法难以分离的杂质,保障样品的纯度和代表性;角闪石和石英分选流程,代表着单矿物分选的基本技术路线,不同方法合理的前后衔接,使单矿物分选高效、快捷、准确,但还有一些矿物分选难题尚未解决,需要深入研究和实践。     

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.     

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.     

K—Na—Ca温度计在一些矿床的成矿温度研究中的应用效果

K—Na—Ca温度计是利用矿物包裹体成分中钾、钠、钙的摩尔浓度,使用已有公式计算成矿温度的一种方法。通过在一些矿床中的应用效果表明,用该温度计计算的温度与矿床产出地质条件相符,并与用其他方法测得的温度基本一致,可以代表成矿温度。此外该温度计与压力无关;不受矿物透明度和介质临界条件限制,其应用范围较其他测温方法的要广。     

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。     

花岗岩与海底火山熔岩

在郑州开往南阳的汽车上,老师给我们介绍了花岗岩,还搬出了标本让我们认识。老师告诉我们,花岗岩是由长石、石英和云母三种主要矿物组成,是地下滚烫的岩浆上升过程中,在地壳中冷凝形成的。想到一块小小的石头,却蕴藏了这么多的地球故事与秘密,我的心中便对我们的下一站——宝天曼地质公园充满了向往。终于到了宝天曼地质公园,我看到了雄奇险峻的化石尖,那是一座由灰白色的花岗岩组成的巍丽山峰,海拔1830米。虽然山势险峻,我们的队员们却没有一个畏惧的,大家迫不及待地开始攀登起来。尽管同学们一个个都大汗淋漓,汗湿衣衫,可一想到一会儿到了…
