Benthic foraminifera in surface sediments of the Persian Gulf

During "Meteor"cruise 1965 the author collected 134 samples of surface sediments from the Iranian part of the Persian Gulf. Benthic Foraminifera populations have been analysed for determining their depth zonation. These data are supposed to allow detailed depth interpretation of Pleistocene sediments found in cores. In addition, the ecological information might be usefull to reconstruct the depositional environment of fossil sediments in similar shallow epicontinental seas. The investigation is published in two parts: the present part 1 contains the catalogue of species with short discussions of taxonomic problems, notes on the distribution within the Persian Gulf and 11 plates, partly with scanning electron micrographs. The results of the statistical analysis are given in data tables which include number of species, percentages of 2 (and 5) ranked species, standing crop and foraminiferal numbers. The author used "species groups" to avoid ambiguities with species requiring additional taxonomic studies. However, species numbers within these units are estimated to yield applicable diversity information. - A total of 52 species and 7 "species groups" were separated, 2 new species were described.

1.5 V battery driven reduced graphene oxide-silver nanostructure coated carbon foam (rGO-Ag-CF) for the purification of drinking water

A porous carbon foam (CF) electrode modified with a reduced graphene oxide-Ag (rGO-Ag) nanocomposite has been fabricated to purify water. It can perform as an antibacterial device by killing pathogenic microbes with the aid of a 1.5 V battery, with very little power consumption. The device is recycled ten times with good performance for long term usage. It is shown that the device may be implemented as a fast water purifier to deactivate the pathogens in drinking water.

［（μ－CF���3CO＿2）＿2Ln（μ－CF���3HCO＿2）Al（i－Bu）＿2·2THFl＿2（Ln＝Nd，Y）配合物的NMR和X－射线衍射研究

对［μ－ＣＦ＿３ＣＯ＿２）＿２Ｌｎ（μ－ＣＦ＿３ＨＣＯ＿２）Ａｌ（ｉ－Ｂｕ）＿２·ＴＨＦｌ＿２（Ｌｎ＝Ｎｄ，Ｙ）配合物单晶结构的Ｘ－射线分析指出，配合物具有中心对称性，配位中心由两个稀土和两个Ａｌ离子组成，稀土由两个ＴＨＦ和６个ＴＦＡ分子配位形成畸变的三盖三棱柱结构，Ａｌ由两个ＴＦＡＧ和两个ｉ－Ｂｕ配位形成四面体结构。桥连Ａｌ与两个稀土的ＴＦＡ分子的羧基发生歧化加氢，其碳原子由ＳＰ￣２型转变为ＳＰ￣３型．ＮＭＲ研究表明，在ＴＨＦ溶液中，该配合物保持了它在单晶中的配位结构，所不同的是两个ｉ－Ｂｕ在溶液中有两种异构形成，二者间为慢交换过程。
