Analysis of high wheat yields in Northwest China

Grain yields of over 14 Mg ha(-1) were reported in 1978 for spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown in Northwest China. Understanding the circumstances under which this record yield was achieved may be useful in defining the key factors that lead to high grain yields and in determining the limits to wheat yield. A relatively simple, mechanistic model was used in an effort to simulate the record yield. The model was used as a framework in which various crop traits could be adjusted to match the observed crop growth. The weather that was characterized by cool temperatures and high levels of solar radiation, proved to be especially important in allowing a full-season crop to achieve record yields. Variables defining plant development in the model also had to be set to describe the high yielding cultivar grown in China. Leaf development was defined by the length of a phyllochron, which was set equal to 78 TU (thermal units, base temperature equal to 0 degrees C) based on independent data. The description of grain fill had to be defined to match simulation results with the observations. Two variables, length of the grain-fill period and the grain growth rate, were set in response to the unique traits of this cultivar and the low temperatures during grain development. These simulations led to important suggestions for examining the interaction between cool temperature regimes and developmental traits of wheat cultivars. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

济阳地区深部结构与含油气性讨论

Oil and gas exploration of marine strata in China's Pre-Cenozoic residual basins is regarded as a worldwide puzzle because of existent problems and cruxes. Objectively speaking, the subsurface geologic structure is complicated, and the surface conditions of some areas are tough. On the other hand, there are still many problems to be solved in oil and gas exploration technologies of Pre-Cenozoic marine fades, and theoretic cognition about petroleum geology is not profound yet. Therefore, it is principal to explore integrated geophysical research ways of Pre-Cenozoic residual basins. Seismic prospecting and geophysical integrated interpretation technologies aimed at middle Paleozoic marine facies with deeper burial and complicated geologic conditions have not formed due to bad quality of deep strata data. Pre-Cenozoic strata, and especially extension, thickness and internal structure of Paleozoic strata can not be recognized from seismic profiles, so it is hard to systematically cognize structural features and oil-gas resources prospect of Pre-Cenozoic basins. To further investigation of fabric and structural features, basin prototype, formation and evolution pattern of Pre-Cenozoic basins, and also their control over formation, migration and aggregation of oil and gas, will play a guiding and promotive role in developing new surveying areas, selecting advantageous zones and predicting oil-gas resources.This paper follows the modem macrocontrol theory of "Region constrains local, deep strata controls shallow ones", and uses the integrated geophysical method of "One guide, two hinges, three combinations and multi feedbacks'*. Based on several years of geological and geophysical results of the Shengli Oilfield, and 14 newly-joint regional seismic profiles, deep structure and oil-gas bearing capacity of the Jiyang area are discussed and new cognitions are drawn as below.Seismic identification marks Tr, Tg, Tgl and Tg2 are established for importantPre-Cenozoic geological interfaces, and promoted to the whole Jiyang area.Through area-wide tracking and clogging of important seismic reflection marker,the isochronic framework of pre-Tertiary basin is set up in the Jiyang area for the firsttime, which is vital for basin research.Integrated with geological and geophysical research results, the Jiyang area isdivided into four first-order tectonic sequences- basement, lower tectonic layer,upper tectonic layer, and top tectonic layer. The basement and lower tectonic sequence which are related to Pre-Cenozoic are studied with emphasis.Through the research of regional seismic profiles, the point of view is given thatthe Kongdian Formation of Jiyang is structural transition period. The top-bottomunconformable interface of the Kongdian Formation is found out for the first time,and the basin model is determined primarily, which lay a basis for prototype basinresearch of the Jiyang Kongdian Formation.The distribution status of Middle-Paleozoic is delineated in the Jiyang area.The maximum thickness of Paleozoic lies in the top of the south declivity of half-graben. The thickness gets thinner towards the center of Mesozoic and Cenozoic half-graben basin, and even disappears. Structural action in the west-north affects the distribution of Paleozoic residual strata.6. The features of second-order tectonic sequence of the Jiyang depression isstudied and its evolution history of is rebuilt.Combined with the 5-stage evolution history of the China continent and structure evolution features of the Jiyang area, the structure sedimentary process since Paleozoic is divided into 5 periods - basement forming , Indosinian orogenic, Yanshan negative reversal, Himalayan extension and Neogene subsidence period.Combined with the research results of gravity, magnetic surveying and regionalprofiles, this paper brings forward the idea for the first time that the western boundaryof the Jiyang depression is the Ningjin-Yangpan fracture zone, and forms aside-column assemblage with the Wudi fracture zone.The opinion that under Middle-Cenozoic basins in the middle Jiyang area theremight superimpose an old residual basin is given for the first time. And if it is provedto be true, a new exploration space will be pioneered for Jiyang and even north China.There exists many types of tectonic-stratigraphic traps formed under piezotropy,extension and compound action in Pre-Cenozoic Jiyang. Therein all kinds of burialhills are the most important oil-gas trap type of Pre-Cenozoic, which should besurveyed layeredly according to the layout of oil sources.As such a new challenging project and field, the paper systematically analyses different geophysical responses of the Jiyang area, frames the deep structure of the area, and preliminarily recognizes the Pre-Cenozoic residual basins. It breaks through to a certain extent in both theory and practice, and is expected to provide new geophysical and geotectonic clues for deep exploration in Shengli.

峨眉山大火成岩省的地球化学特征及其动力学指纹

峨眉山大陆溢流玄武岩省（ECFB）是中国国内唯一被国际学术界认可的大火成岩省，其独特的地球化学特征和完整的岩浆演化序列，日渐引起了地学界的关注。但总体研究程度还很低，随着研究的推进，需要探讨以下问题：（1）对比ELIP各岩区的地球化学特征；（2）探讨ELIP岩浆岩演化趋势及其地球化学特征；（3）寻找更多地幔柱成因证据；（4）研究其化学储库特征及其地球动力学指纹。本文从岩石地球化学、PGE地球化学、同位素地球化学和动力地球化学等方面作了较系统的探讨。 本文除了对峨眉山玄武岩活动时段、S不饱和特征、三大趋势及其氧逸度、两大序列、高镁玄武岩等作了探讨外，还建立了一些新的微量元素、PGE和热动力熔融模拟图解，系统对REE、蛛网配分模式图进行了孔隙度动力熔融模拟，通过Sr－Nd－Pb同位素混合模拟较细致的研究了ELIP源区DM与EM组份比例。首次对ECFB的PGE含量作了定量模拟，表明ELIP起源于0.3－1％的外核物质+50％亏损上地幔+50－49.7％下部原始地幔的混合源区。 模拟还表明ELIP西岩区熔融源区在Gt橄榄岩到Sp二辉橄榄岩地幔内（熔融压力3.0～1.8GPa），部分熔融度2－8%，部分小于<2%；中岩区熔融源区在Gt－Sp二辉橄榄岩地幔内（熔融压力3.0－2.5GPa），熔融度主要<2％；东岩区熔融源区在Gt－Sp二辉橄榄岩内（熔融压力2.9～2.4GPa），部分熔融小于1％。笔者认为从西到东，上覆岩石圈从薄的特提斯大洋盖层变为厚的扬子克拉通盖层环境，这导致熔融压力／深度的增加而平均熔融度降低，这与根据EFB中的La/Yb比值推测的岩石圈下熔融面地图基本一致。 通过Sr-Nd同位素动力学模式探讨了ELIP的组份异质性，认为亏损的镁铁质大洋板片携带泛古陆上地壳陆源沉积物，俯冲脱水后长期（约1Ga）储积在热边界层，沉积物与亏损古洋壳发生交代混合形成富集地幔（EM2），并被峨眉山地幔柱捕获夹带入头部，并在P/Tr冲击登陆于扬子克拉通西缘，从而产出含有UCC（或TS或GLOSS）组份特征的ECFB。

四川省拉拉铜矿床岩石学及地球化学研究

拉拉铜矿床位于扬子地块西缘的康滇隆起中段，赋存于经历变质的古元古代河口群海相火山-沉积岩系中，是我国重要的受变质热液叠加或改造的火山成因块状硫化物矿床（VHMS）之一，也是四川省最大的铜矿生产基地。本论文以该矿床为研究对象，在系统整理前人资料的基础上，进行了深入细致的野外地质考察和系统采样，选取代表性样品，运用电子探针分析技术、元素地球化学、同位素地球化学（Rb-Sr、Sm-Nd、S）、锆石U-Pb定年等方法手段，对矿区新元古代大规模区域变质作用的变质条件、变质原岩、广泛分布于矿区多个赋矿层位的辉长辉绿岩脉、岩石及矿石性质、硫源、成矿时代等主要岩石学及矿床学问题进行了系统研究，并结合前人研究成果，探讨了矿床的成因机制。论文主要取得以下几点认识： （1）矿区变质火山岩的成岩年龄为1695±20Ma，岩浆在上升侵位的过程中捕获了古元古代早期地壳物质，后期变质改造的时代约为700-800Ma。 （2）基于石榴石黑云母片岩中石榴石黑云母矿物对的电子探针分析数据，利用石榴石-黑云母地质温度计和多硅白云母地质压力计确定了矿区新元古代大规模区域变质作用的变质条件：变质温度为530-580℃，变质压力上限为0.66-0.76GPa，对应于高绿片岩相。 （3）矿区出露的岩石类型以云母片岩类和钠长岩类岩石为主，二者共同构成了矿区的围岩及赋矿岩石，通过对代表性样品的元素地球化学、同位素地球化学研究，采用DF函数判别法、(Al/3-K)-(Al/3-Na)图解法、La/Yb-TR图解法，并结合岩矿鉴定及结构构造特征，恢复了矿区的变质原岩。其中，矿区的云母片岩类样品的变质原岩为沉积岩，以页岩为主，主要来自大陆岛弧及上地壳物质的风化；而钠长岩类样品的变质原岩为火山岩，源自富集地幔，包括“右倾型”钠长岩和“平坦型”钠长岩，前者为分离结晶作用早期并经历一定程度地壳混染的产物，后者主要形成于分离结晶作用晚期，Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf、P、Ti等达到饱和并以副矿物晶出。 （4）综合矿区变质沉积岩及变质火山岩的构造环境判别结果，确定了二者形成于大陆岛弧的弧后盆地环境。 （5）通过对矿区变质火山岩性质、形成机制及硫同位素研究，讨论了矿床中成矿元素可能的富集机制，即地幔中大量的亲铜元素及硫元素进入母岩浆并随之上升形成区域分布的火山岩，为矿床的形成提供了必要条件。 （6）侵入河口群地层并广泛出露于矿区多个赋矿层位的辉长辉绿岩脉的化学成分与板内碱性玄武岩类似且形成于大陆裂谷环境下的类似OIB源区，是高温地幔柱部分熔融的产物，幔源岩浆在上升侵位过程中受到了地壳物质尤其是上地壳物质较小程度的混染，表明新元古代Rodinia超大陆裂解对拉拉地区的成矿作用有重要影响。 （7）拉拉铜矿床主要存在两个成矿期次，即火山喷气-沉积成矿期（1700 Ma左右）和变质热液成矿期（700-800Ma）。矿区主要存在两种类型矿石，即条纹、条带状矿石和块状、浸染状矿石，前者主要赋存于变质火山岩中，可能形成于火山喷气-沉积成矿期，后者主要赋存于变质沉积岩中，可能为变质热液成矿期的产物。

Comparative study by infrared spectroscopy and microcalorimetry of the CO adsorption over supported palladium catalysts

The adsorption of CO on Al(2)O(3), ZrO(2), ZrO(2)-SiO(2), and ZrO(2)-La(2)O(3) supported Pd catalysts was studied by adsorption microcalorimetry and infrared (TR) spectroscopy. Some interesting and new correlations between the results of microcalorimetry and IR spectroscopy have been found. The CO is adsorbed on palladium catalysts in three different modes: multibonded (3-fold), bridged (2-fold), both on Pd(lll) and (100) planes, and linear (1-fold) adsorbed species. The corresponding differential adsorption heats lie in the field of high (210-170 kJ/mol), medium (140-120 kJ/mol), and low (95-60 kJ/mol) values, respectively. The nature of the support, the reduction temperature, and the pretreatment conditions affect the surface structure of the Pd catalysts, resulting in variations in the site energy distribution, i.e., changes in the fraction of sites adsorbing CO with specific heats of adsorption. Moreover, the CeO(2); promoter addition weakens the adsorption strength of CO on palladium. Based on the exposed results, a correctness factor, which considers the percentages of various CO adsorption states, must be introduced when one calculates the Pd dispersion using CO adsorption data.

Synthesis of a terbium fluorescent chelate and its application to time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay

A new nonadentate ligand, N, N, N-1, N-1-[2,6-bis(3'-aminomethyl-1 1'-pyrazolyl)-4-phenylpyridine]tetrakis(acetic acid) (BPTA) for a Tb3+ fluorescent complex was synthesized. The Tb3+ complex is strongly fluorescent, having a large fluorescence quantum yield of 1.00 and very long fluorescence lifetime of 2.681 ms in 0.05 M berate buffer of pH 9.1. Streptavidin (SA) was labeled with SPTA by using its succinimidyl monoester, and the BPTA-Tb3+-labeled SA was used in sandwich-type time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TR-FIA) of alpha -fetoprotein (AFP) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in human sera. The Tb3+-labeled SA was also used in competitive type TR-FIA of bensulfuron- methyl (BSM) in water. The detection limits of these assays are 42 pg/mL for AFP, 70 pg/mL for CEA, and 0.4 ng/mL for BSM. In addition, a new simultaneous measurement method for AFP and CEA in a human serum sample was developed by using 4,4'-bis(1 " ,1 " ,1 " ,2 " ,2 " ,3 " ,3 " -heptafluoro-4 " ,6 " -hexanedion-6 " -yl)chlorosulfo-o-terphenyl ((BHHCT)-Eu3+-labeled anti-AFP antibody, biotinylated anti-CEA antibody, and BPTA-Tb3+-labeled SA. The concentrations of AFP and CEA in 39 human serum samples were determined, and the results were compared with those of the independently determined AFP and CEA by TR-FIA with a single-label method. A good correlation was obtained with the correlation coefficients of 0.991 for AFP and 0.994 for CEA.

Homogeneous time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay of bensulfuron-methyl by using terbium fluorescence energy transfer

A sensitive homogenous time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TR-FIA) method for bensulfuron-methyl (BSM) based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from a Tb3+ fluorescent chelate with N,N,N',N'-[2,6-bis(3'-aminomethyl-1'-pyrazoly)-4-phenylpyridine] tetrakis(acetic acid) (BPTA-Tb3+) to organic dye, Cy3 or Cy3.5 has been developed. New method combined the use of BPTA-Tb3+ labeled streptavidin, Cy3 or Cy3.5 labeled anti-BSM monoclonal antibody and biotinylated BSM-BSA conjugate (BSA is bovine serum albumin) for competitive-type immunoassay. After BPTA-Tb3+ labeled streptavidin was reacted with a competitive immune reaction solution containing biotinylated BSM-BSA, BSM sample and Cy3 or Cy3.5 labeled anti-BSM monoclonal antibody, the sensitized and long-lived emission of Cy3 or Cy3.5 derived from FRET was measured, and thus the concentration of BSM in sample was calculated. The present method has the advantages of rapidity, simplicity and high sensitivity since the B/F (bound reagent/free reagent) separation steps and the solid-phase carrier are not necessary. The method gives the detection limit of 2.10 ng ml(-1). The coefficient variations of the method are less than 1.5% and the recoveries are in the range of 95-105% for BSM water sample measurement.

Preparation and a time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay application of new europium fluorescent nanoparticles

New silica-based europium fluorescent nanoparticles having surface amino groups were prepared by a covalent binding-copolymerization technique. In the nanoparticles, the fluorescent Eu3+ chelate molecules were covalently bound to silicon atoms to protect the nanoparticles from dye leaking in bio-applications. The amino groups on the surface of nanoparticles made the surface modification and bioconjugation of nanoparticles easier. The nanoparticles were characterized and developed as a new type of fluorescence probe for a highly sensitive time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TR-FIA) of human hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg).
