Molecular phylogeny, recent radiation and evolution of gross morphology of the rhubarb genus Rheum (Polygonaceae) inferred from chloroplast DNA trnL-F sequences

Background and Aims Rheum, a highly diversified genus with about 60 species, is mainly confined to the mountainous and desert regions of the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau and adjacent areas. This genus represents a good example of the extensive diversification of the temperate genera in the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau, in which the forces to drive diversification remain unknown. To date, the infrageneric classification of Rheum has been mainly based on morphological characters. However, it may have been subject to convergent evolution under habitat pressure, and the systematic position of some sections are unclear, especially Sect. Globulosa, which has globular inflorescences, and Sect. Nobilia, which has semi-translucent bracts. Recent palynological research has found substantial contradictions between exine patterns and the current classification of Rheum. Two specific objectives of this research were (1) to evaluate possible relationships of some ambiguous sections with a unique morphology, and (2) to examine possible occurrence of the radiative speciation with low genetic divergence across the total genus and the correlation between the extensive diversification time of Rheum and past geographical events, especially the recent large-scale uplifts of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.Methods The chloroplast DNA trnL-F region of 29 individuals representing 26 species of Rheum, belonging to seven out of eight sections, was sequenced and compared. The phylogenetic relationships were further constructed based on the sequences obtained.Key Results Despite the highly diversified morphology, the genetic variation in this DNA fragment is relatively low. The molecular phylogeny is highly inconsistent with gross morphology, pollen exine patterns and traditional classifications, except for identifying all samples of Sect. Palmata, three species of Sect. Spiciformia and a few species of Sect. Rheum as corresponding monophyletic groups. The monotypic Sect. Globulosa showed a tentative position within the clade comprising five species of Sect. Rheum. All of the analyses revealed the paraphyly of R. nobile and R. alexandrae, the only two species of Sect. Nobilia circumscribed by the possession of large bracts. The crude calibration of lineages based on trnL-F sequence differentiation implied an extensive diversification of Rheum within approx. 7 million years.Conclusions Based on these results, it is suggested that the rich geological and ecological diversity caused by the recent large-scale uplifts of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau since the late Tertiary, coupled with the oscillating climate of the Quaternary stage, might have promoted rapid speciation in small and isolated populations, as well as allowing the fixation of unique or rare morphological characters in Rheum. Such a rapid radiation, combined with introgressive hybridization and reticulate evolution, may have caused the transfer of cpDNA haplotypes between morphologically dissimilar species, and might account for the inconsistency between morphological classification and molecular phylogeny reported here.

Observation and modeling for terrestrial processes in alpine meadow

The water-heat transfer process between land and atmosphere in Haibei alpine meadow area has been systematically observed. A multi-layer coupling model for land-atmosphere interaction was presented with special attention paid to the moisture transfer in leaf stomata under unsaturated condition. A profound investigation on the physical process of turbulent transfer inside the vegetation has been performed with a revised formula of water absorption for root system. The present model facilitates the study of vertically distributed physical variables in detail. Numerical simulation was conducted according to the transfer process of Kinesia humility meadow in the area of Haibei Alpine Meadow Ecosystem Station, CAS. The calculated results agree well with observation.

Assessing the potential of VEGETATION sensor data for mapping snow and ice cover: a Normalized Difference Snow and Ice Index

The VEGETATION (VGT) sensor in SPOT 4 has four spectral bands that are equivalent to Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) bands (blue, red, near-infrared and mid-infrared spectral bands) and provides daily images of the global land surface at a 1-km spatial resolution. We propose a new index for identifying and mapping of snow ice cover, namely the Normalized Difference Snow/Ice Index (NDSII), which uses reflectance values of red and mid-infrared spectral bands of Landsat TM and VGT. For Landsat TM data, NDSII is calculated as NDSIITM =(TM3 -TM5)/(TM3 +TM5); for VGT data, NDSII is calculated as NDSIIVGT =(B2- MIR)/(B2 + MIR). As a case study we used a Landsat TM image that covers the eastern part of the Qilian mountain range in the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibetan) plateau of China. NDSIITM gave similar estimates of the area and spatial distribution of snow/ice cover to the Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI=(TM2-TM5)/(TM2+TM5)) which has been proposed by Hall et al. The results indicated that the VGT sensor might have the potential for operational monitoring and mapping of snow/ice cover from regional to global scales, when using NDSIIVGT.

峨眉山玄武岩的输送通道：云南元谋朱布岩体

朱布镁铁-超镁铁侵入岩赋存有中型硫化物铂族元素矿床。根据岩体大小和矿床储量的简单质量平衡计算，矿床的形成需要至少3000倍现存岩体体积的岩浆参与成矿，因此朱布岩体应该是峨眉山玄武岩的输送通道。岩体的年龄、地质特征、地球化学都支持这个结论。岩体的原始岩浆应该属于峨眉山高钛玄武岩.

河南小秦岭大湖金－钼矿床地球化学及其矿床成因

秦岭造山带是华北与扬子两大古板块的接合带，在空间上，自北而南，秦岭造山带可分为华北板块南缘（华熊地块）、北秦岭造山带、南秦岭造山带和扬子板块北缘等4个构造单元。小秦岭金矿田位于华熊地块北缘，是国内外学者共识的造山型金矿田，河南灵宝大湖金－钼矿床位于小秦岭金矿田，属断控脉状矿床。大湖金－钼矿床最先正是以金矿床进行勘查的，其黄金储量28t，平均品位8.7g/t。随着开采深度的加大，部分含金石英脉向深部转变为辉钼矿－石英脉，目前探明钼资源量已达中型规模。 本论文主要从区域地质背景、矿床地质特征、元素地球化学、同位素地球化学、流体包裹体地球化学、矿床年代学及成矿机理等角度对大湖金－钼矿床进行了较为系统的研究，主要获得如下认识： 成矿过程经历3个阶段：早阶段为黄铁矿-石英脉，遭受变形、破碎，应形成于挤压或压剪过程；中阶段为细粒的辉钼矿-黄铁矿-石英网脉，贯入到早阶段黄铁矿或石英矿物的裂隙（可呈共轭状），应形成于剪切环境；晚阶段石英-碳酸盐细脉具梳状构造，充填于张性或张扭性裂隙。 大湖金-钼矿床的金属硫化物ISr=0.70470-0.71312，平均0.70854；(143Nd/144Nd)i=0.51143-0.51215，平均0.51162；(206Pb/204Pb)i=17.033-17.285，(207Pb/204Pb)i=15.358-15.438，(208Pb/204Pb)i = 37.307-37.582。其围岩太华群样品平均值ISr＝0.72294，(143Nd/144Nd)i=0.51107，(206Pb/204Pb)i=17.127-18.392，(207Pb/204Pb)i =15.416-15.604，(208Pb/204Pb)i=37.498-37.814，它们的平均值分别是17.547，15.470，37.616。通过金属硫化物及围岩太华群的对比，可以看出，成矿物质具有太华群和深部地幔混合的特征。 通过对不同阶段的含矿石英脉中的流体包裹体特征研究表明，早阶段只发育CO2-H2O型流体包裹体；中阶段流体包裹体类型复杂，有纯CO2型、CO2-H2O型、H2O-NaCl型和含子晶包裹体，指示流体沸腾作用强烈；而晚阶段只发育水溶液包裹体。早、中、晚3个阶段的流体包裹体均一温度分别集中在400-500℃、290-470℃、220-260℃；估计的早、中阶段流体的最低捕获压力分别为138-331MPa和78-237MPa，对应于成矿深度分别为13.8-11.0km和7.8-8.0km。早、中阶段的压力反应出静岩压力到静水压力的转变。成矿温度和压力明显高于浅部含金石英脉的成矿温度120-310℃，成矿压力100-150MPa。与野外观察到的“上金下钼”的空间关系一致。 大湖金－钼矿床辉钼矿－石英脉Re-Os同位素模式年龄较集中，介于215.4±5.4－255.6±9.6Ma，Re-0s等时线年龄为218±41Ma(MSWD=38，2σ误差)，表明大湖金－钼矿的辉矿化形成于印支期。 三叠纪末，随着古秦岭洋的逐渐封闭，处在弧后转换带的深部岩石在挤压作用下发生变质脱水而形成初始成矿流体，成矿流体沿断裂带（韧性剪切带）向上迁移而引起大湖钼矿床成矿系统的发育。随着区域构造环境由挤压转为伸展，区域的变质脱水更强，形成大量成矿流体，变质流体上侵为浅层流体循环提供了的热能，而浅层构造也因减压扩容而为流体循环提供了通道，这无疑有利于浅层流体循环和混入成矿系统。同时，增温和减压也有利于成矿流体发生沸腾。因此，充足的流体、热以及强烈的流体沸腾等，势必导致发生最为强烈的成矿物质快速沉淀作用。随着挤压作用的减弱，伸展作用的增强，区域热异常消失，地壳深部组分发生亏损，流体以浅源大气降水占主导，成矿作用迅速衰竭，形成石英-碳酸盐网脉，对成矿作用贡献减弱。总之，通过对大湖金钼矿床研究表明，大湖金钼矿床形成于由挤压转向伸展的构造背景，这与矿床地质的特征一致。

Low temperature heat capacity of (S)-ibuprofen

Molar heat capacities of ( S)-ibuprofen were precisely measured with a small sample precision automated adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range from 80 to 370 K. Experimental heat capacities were fitted into a polynomial equation of heat capacities ( C-p,C- m) with reduced temperature ( X), [ X = f(T)]. The polynomial equations for ( S)-ibuprofen were C-p,C- m(s) = - 39.483 X-4 - 66. 649 X-3 + 95. 196 X-2 + 210. 84 X + 172. 98 in solid state and C-p,C- m(L) = 7. 191X(3) + 4. 2774 X-2 + 56. 365 X + 498. 5 in liquid state. The thermodynamic functions relative to the reference temperature of 298. 15 K, H-T - H-298.15 and S-T - S-298.15, were derived for the( S)-ibuprofen. A fusion transition at T-m = (324. 15 +/- 0. 02) K was found from the C-p - T curve. The molar enthalpy and entropy of the fusion transition were determined to be (18. 05 +/- 0. 31) kJ.mol(-1) and (55. 71 +/- 0. 95) J.mol(-1).K-1, respectively. The purity of the ( S)-ibuprofen was determined to be 99. 44% on the basis of the heat capacity measurement. Finally, the heat capacities of ( S)-ibuprofen and racemic ibuprofen were compared.
