氟、氯对热液钨、铜成矿的制约-以江西德兴铜矿、大吉山钨矿为例

矿化剂在热液矿床成矿过程中的重要作用一直为人们所关注，矿化剂地球化学行为直接影响成矿元素的富集成矿，不同的矿化剂元素可能对金属成矿具有一定的专属性。本文以著名的江西德兴铜厂超大型斑岩铜矿床和大吉山钨矿床作为研究对象，研究F、Cl与W、Cu成矿的关系。主要的认识如下：（1）F在花岗质岩浆中，可以降低岩浆的粘度、密度、固液相线温度、改变熔体结构，而Cl对熔体结构没有多大的影响。F在流体一花岗质熔体相间，绝大多数配分系数小于1.0，趋向于熔体相中配分，DF随体系中F浓度的升高而增加。Cl在流体一花岗质熔体相间的配分系数均大于1.0，且Dc1 随体系中Cl浓度的升高而增大·Cl强烈地趋向富集于流体相中。（2）Cu在流体一花岗质熔体作用过程中，铜总趋向于流体相中分布（DCu都大于1）。特别是在富Cl流体中Cu浓度较高，说明在富含Cl的热液流体能够从共存的熔体中活化迁移出大量的 Cu，S的加入DCu有降低的趋势。钨趋向于熔体相中富集，其配分系数大多小于1.0。（3）德兴铜厂花岗闪长斑岩属钙碱性系列岩石属I型花岗岩类，具有埃达克岩的特征。岩浆来源于深部，在结晶演化过程中发生了围岩物质的混染，这种高铜含量围岩的混染使成矿物质在岩浆中得到富集，有利于铜的活化、迁移。在铜厂岩体不同的蚀变带中，SiO2、K2O、Cu、Mo等从新鲜斑岩甚至弱蚀变带中带出，而在强蚀变带强烈富集，Cl同样有在强蚀变岩石中富集的趋势；而Na2O、Fe从斑岩体中带出，进入流体相中，流体中大量Fe的存在，有利于铜的沉淀、富集成矿。（4）德兴铜厂斑岩体微量元素和稀土元素地球化学特征表明，该岩体发生了流体一熔体作用，分异出来的流体是一种相对富氯的流体，同时成矿流体的流向是从岩体中心向接触带方向流动。（5）大吉山花岗岩具有高SiO2、A/CNK值，显示过铝质特点。黑云母花岗岩是壳源花岗岩但又受到慢源岩浆或慢源流体的影响。随着花岗岩的演化（从I→II→III）SiO2、K2O＋Na2O逐渐增加，ΣFe、Al2O3、CaO、F含量降低，为成矿提供了大量的矿化剂（F）和沉淀剂（Fe、Ca）。Eu负异常从I至III阶段花岗岩逐渐加强，表明该岩浆经历了高度的分异演化。（6）大吉山花岗岩类稀土元素具有“四重效应”配分的特点以及微量元素对玲Rb、Y/Ho、Zr/Hf以及Nb／Ta发生明显分异，暗示在花岗岩岩浆的演化过程中，经历了充分的流体一熔体作用，同时分异出大量富含F、W等矿化剂元素和成矿元素的热液流体，致使钨矿的形成。大吉山石英脉型钨矿的成矿年龄大约在155 Ma。（7）通过对成矿流体和花岗质岩石黑云母、白云母中卤素相对逸度的研究（log(H2O/fHCl）fluid、log（fHF/fHCl）fluid）发现，铜厂斑岩型铜矿床的成矿体系是相对富氯体系，而大吉山石英脉型钨矿床成矿体系相对富氟，同时氟可能主要迁移W、Sn、Nb、Ta等金属元素。（8）结合斑岩型铜矿床成矿流体特征，铜主要以C1的络合物形式存在和迁移，迁移形式主要是CuCl0、CuCl2等。石英脉型钨矿床中，钨主要以钨酸、钨酸盐及其离解形式存在和迁移，如WO42-、HWO4-、NaHWO4、Naw伍．等；在高度富氟的成矿流体中，钨的氟氧络合物（如WO3F-，WO2F42-等）对钨迁移也具有重要的作用。因此，不同矿化剂类型具有一定的成矿专属性，热液铜矿床主要与Cl、S有 关，而热液钨矿床大多与F有关。

地表水体中微量金属元素分布的水/胶体作用控制机理的实验研究

水体中轻重稀土元素之间的分异，特别是一些具有相同电价而又具有近似相同离子半径的元素对（如Y3＋/Ho3＋、Zr4+/Hf4+、Nb5+/Ta5+）之间的分异，Ce异常和REE四重效应存在及产生原因和不同因素的控制机理构成了水体稀土元素及其它微量金属元素地球化学研究的核心科学问题，是我们合理解释地表水体中REE及其它微量金属元素组成变化的重要理论基础。目前研究水I微粒界面作用的工作不少，但至今进行的胶体或其它微粒对REE和高价阳离子（如Zr、Hf、Nb和Ta）的吸附实验研究不多，已有的实验也未能对不同控制因素（如pH、溶液介质类型、无机和有机配位体等）的控制机理进行系统研究。本文通过系列批次实验，定量研究了水合氧化铁（日FO）在不同溶液介质条件下对二价（Cu2+）、三价（Ln3＋）、四价（Zr4+、Hf4+）以及五价（Nb5+、Ta5+）阳离子的吸附／去除作用，重点讨论了溶解配位体和pH影响下水l胶体作用对轻重稀土以及Y-Ho、Zr-Hf和Nb-Ta元素对之间分异行为的影响，并模拟了稀土元素在溶液中的形态分布。研究结果表明：微量金属元素在HFO上吸附的动力学特征受控于HFO生成的动力学，溶液介质条件（包括pH、电解质、溶解配位体、吸附剂及吸附质的浓度以及吸附质的形态分布等）是影响微量金属元素水l胶体作用的主要因素；稀土元素的分配系数在水胶体作用过程中受不同因素的影响而呈现不同的分布模式，但都存在丫的负异常和较低pH下Ce的正异常现象，在CO32-、腐殖酸和SO42-、PO43-的影响下，稀土元素的分配系数分别呈现轻稀土富集和重稀土富集的分布模式，REE在HFO上的作用机制是离子交换和特性吸附综合作用的结果；在天然水体p日范围内，Zr、Hf和Nb、Ta在吸附／共沉淀过程中发生了分异，但均显示相对惰性的行为并表现出较好的一致性，指示了其地球化学孪生对的行为。上述研究结果为合理解释地表水体中稀土和其它微量金属元素分布变化的多样性提供了实验依据。

花岗岩-LiF-NaF-H_2O体系液相不混溶的实验研究

Liquid segregation phenomena have been found and explained in the F(Li)-rich granites in south China by Wang Linakui et al. (1979; 1983). A number of experimental investigations into the liquid immiscibilities in the granites systems have been carried out (Anfilogov et al., 1983; Glyuk et al., 1971; Glyuk et al., 1973a; 1973b; kovalenko, 1978; Wang Liangkui et al., 1987). Nevertheless, the detailed scenarios of the liquid immiscibilities in the granitic magmas are much less understood. This experimental study is amide to get access to this problem. Starting materials are biotite granite +LiF(3-10%)+NaF(3-10%)+H_2O(30%). The experimental results have shown that the liquid immiscibilities of melts of different compositions occur at 1 kbar and 840 ℃ when 5wt% (LiF + NaF) are added to the granite samples. three kinds of glasses indicating of three types of coexisting immiscible melts have been observed: light blue matrix glass, melanocratic glass balls and leucocratic glass balls. It is interesting that we have observed various kinds of textures as follows: spherulitic texture, droplets, flow bands, swirls. All these textures can be comparable to those in the natural granitic bodies. Electron microprobe data suggest that these different kinds of glasses are of different chemical compositions respectively; matrix glasses are F-poor silicate melts; melanocratic balls correspond to F-rich silicate melts; and leucocratic balls are the melts consisting mainly of fluorides. Raman spectrometric data have indicated that different glasses have different melt structures. TFM Diagrams at 1000 * 10~5 Pa have been plotted, in which two miscible gaps are found. One of the two gaps corresponds to the immiscibility between F - poor silicate melt and F-rich silicate melt, another to that between the silicate melt and fluoride melt. The experiments at different pressures have suggested that the decreases in pressures are favorable to the liquid immiscibility. Several reversal experiments have indicated that the equilibria in different runs have been achieved. We have applied the experimental results to explain the field evidence of immiscibilities in some of granites associated with W-Sn-Nb-Ta mineralization. These field phenomena include flow structure, globular structures,mineralized globular patche and glass inclusions in topaz. We believe that the liquid immiscibility (liquid segregation) is a possible way of generation of F(Li)-rich granites. During the evolution of the granitic magmas, the contents of Li, F, H_2O and ore-forming elements in the magmas become higher and higher. The granites formed in the extensional tectonic settings commonly bear higher abundences of the above-mentioned elements. the pressures of the granitic magmas are relatively lower during the processes of their emplacements and cooling. The late-staged magmas will produce liquid immiscibilities, leading to the production of several coexisting immiscible melts with different chemical compositions. The flow of immiscible consisting magmas will produce F(Li)-rich granites. It is also considered that liquid immiscibilities are of great significance in the production of rare metal granites. The ore-forming processes and magmatic crystallization and metasomatic processes can be occur at the same time. The mineralisations of rare metals are related to both magmatic and hydrothermal processes.

Efficiently and Fairly Allocating Bandwidth at a Highly Congested Link

We consider the problem of efficiently and fairly allocating bandwidth at a highly congested link to a diverse set of flows, including TCP flows with various Round Trip Times (RTT), non-TCP-friendly flows such as Constant-Bit-Rate (CBR) applications using UDP, misbehaving, or malicious flows. Though simple, a FIFO queue management is vulnerable. Fair Queueing (FQ) can guarantee max-min fairness but fails at efficiency. RED-PD exploits the history of RED's actions in preferentially dropping packets from higher-rate flows. Thus, RED-PD attempts to achieve fairness at low cost. By relying on RED's actions, RED-PD turns out not to be effective in dealing with non-adaptive flows in settings with a highly heterogeneous mix of flows. In this paper, we propose a new approach we call RED-NB (RED with No Bias). RED-NB does not rely on RED's actions. Rather it explicitly maintains its own history for the few high-rate flows. RED-NB then adaptively adjusts flow dropping probabilities to achieve max-min fairness. In addition, RED-NB helps RED itself at very high loads by tuning RED's dropping behavior to the flow characteristics (restricted in this paper to RTTs) to eliminate its bias against long-RTT TCP flows while still taking advantage of RED's features at low loads. Through extensive simulations, we confirm the fairness of RED-NB and show that it outperforms RED, RED-PD, and CHOKe in all scenarios.

The impact of shame on health-related quality of life among HIV-positive adults with a history of childhood sexual abuse.

Childhood sexual abuse is prevalent among people living with HIV, and the experience of shame is a common consequence of childhood sexual abuse and HIV infection. This study examined the role of shame in health-related quality of life among HIV-positive adults who have experienced childhood sexual abuse. Data from 247 HIV-infected adults with a history of childhood sexual abuse were analyzed. Hierarchical linear regression was conducted to assess the impact of shame regarding both sexual abuse and HIV infection, while controlling for demographic, clinical, and psychosocial factors. In bivariate analyses, shame regarding sexual abuse and HIV infection were each negatively associated with health-related quality of life and its components (physical well-being, function and global well-being, emotional and social well-being, and cognitive functioning). After controlling for demographic, clinical, and psychosocial factors, HIV-related, but not sexual abuse-related, shame remained a significant predictor of reduced health-related quality of life, explaining up to 10% of the variance in multivariable models for overall health-related quality of life, emotional, function and global, and social well-being and cognitive functioning over and above that of other variables entered into the model. Additionally, HIV symptoms, perceived stress, and perceived availability of social support were associated with health-related quality of life in multivariable models. Shame is an important and modifiable predictor of health-related quality of life in HIV-positive populations, and medical and mental health providers serving HIV-infected populations should be aware of the importance of shame and its impact on the well-being of their patients.

Predictions of the Pt(8)Ti phase in unexpected systems.

The binary A(8)B phase (prototype Pt(8)Ti) has been experimentally observed in 11 systems. A high-throughput search over all the binary transition intermetallics, however, reveals 59 occurrences of the A(8)B phase: Au(8)Zn(dagger), Cd(8)Sc(dagger), Cu(8)Ni(dagger), Cu(8)Zn(dagger), Hg(8)La, Ir(8)Os(dagger), Ir(8)Re, Ir(8)Ru(dagger), Ir(8)Tc, Ir(8)W(dagger), Nb(8)Os(dagger), Nb(8)Rh(dagger), Nb(8)Ru(dagger), Nb(8)Ta(dagger), Ni(8)Fe, Ni(8)Mo(dagger)*, Ni(8)Nb(dagger)*, Ni(8)Ta*, Ni(8)V*, Ni(8)W, Pd(8)Al(dagger), Pd(8)Fe, Pd(8)Hf, Pd(8)Mn, Pd(8)Mo*, Pd(8)Nb, Pd(8)Sc, Pd(8)Ta, Pd(8)Ti, Pd(8)V*, Pd(8)W*, Pd(8)Zn, Pd(8)Zr, Pt(8)Al(dagger), Pt(8)Cr*, Pt(8)Hf, Pt(8)Mn, Pt(8)Mo, Pt(8)Nb, Pt(8)Rh(dagger), Pt(8)Sc, Pt(8)Ta, Pt(8)Ti*, Pt(8)V*, Pt(8)W, Pt(8)Zr*, Rh(8)Mo, Rh(8)W, Ta(8)Pd, Ta(8)Pt, Ta(8)Rh, V(8)Cr(dagger), V(8)Fe(dagger), V(8)Ir(dagger), V(8)Ni(dagger), V(8)Pd, V(8)Pt, V(8)Rh, and V(8)Ru(dagger) ((dagger) = metastable, * = experimentally observed). This is surprising for the wealth of new occurrences that are predicted, especially in well-characterized systems (e.g., Cu-Zn). By verifying all experimental results while offering additional predictions, our study serves as a striking demonstration of the power of the high-throughput approach. The practicality of the method is demonstrated in the Rh-W system. A cluster-expansion-based Monte Carlo model reveals a relatively high order-disorder transition temperature.

Enhancing imaging systems using transformation optics.

We apply the transformation optical technique to modify or improve conventional refractive and gradient index optical imaging devices. In particular, when it is known that a detector will terminate the paths of rays over some surface, more freedom is available in the transformation approach, since the wave behavior over a large portion of the domain becomes unimportant. For the analyzed configurations, quasi-conformal and conformal coordinate transformations can be used, leading to simplified constitutive parameter distributions that, in some cases, can be realized with isotropic index; index-only media can be low-loss and have broad bandwidth. We apply a coordinate transformation to flatten a Maxwell fish-eye lens, forming a near-perfect relay lens; and also flatten the focal surface associated with a conventional refractive lens, such that the system exhibits an ultra-wide field-of-view with reduced aberration.

R5 clade C SHIV strains with tier 1 or 2 neutralization sensitivity: tools to dissect env evolution and to develop AIDS vaccines in primate models.

BACKGROUND: HIV-1 clade C (HIV-C) predominates worldwide, and anti-HIV-C vaccines are urgently needed. Neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses are considered important but have proved difficult to elicit. Although some current immunogens elicit antibodies that neutralize highly neutralization-sensitive (tier 1) HIV strains, most circulating HIVs exhibiting a less sensitive (tier 2) phenotype are not neutralized. Thus, both tier 1 and 2 viruses are needed for vaccine discovery in nonhuman primate models. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We constructed a tier 1 simian-human immunodeficiency virus, SHIV-1157ipEL, by inserting an "early," recently transmitted HIV-C env into the SHIV-1157ipd3N4 backbone [1] encoding a "late" form of the same env, which had evolved in a SHIV-infected rhesus monkey (RM) with AIDS. SHIV-1157ipEL was rapidly passaged to yield SHIV-1157ipEL-p, which remained exclusively R5-tropic and had a tier 1 phenotype, in contrast to "late" SHIV-1157ipd3N4 (tier 2). After 5 weekly low-dose intrarectal exposures, SHIV-1157ipEL-p systemically infected 16 out of 17 RM with high peak viral RNA loads and depleted gut CD4+ T cells. SHIV-1157ipEL-p and SHIV-1157ipd3N4 env genes diverge mostly in V1/V2. Molecular modeling revealed a possible mechanism for the increased neutralization resistance of SHIV-1157ipd3N4 Env: V2 loops hindering access to the CD4 binding site, shown experimentally with nAb b12. Similar mutations have been linked to decreased neutralization sensitivity in HIV-C strains isolated from humans over time, indicating parallel HIV-C Env evolution in humans and RM. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: SHIV-1157ipEL-p, the first tier 1 R5 clade C SHIV, and SHIV-1157ipd3N4, its tier 2 counterpart, represent biologically relevant tools for anti-HIV-C vaccine development in primates.

The development and psychometric properties of the HIV and Abuse Related Shame Inventory (HARSI).

Shame has been shown to predict sexual HIV transmission risk behavior, medication non-adherence, symptomatic HIV or AIDS, and symptoms of depression and PTSD. However, there remains a dearth of tools to measure the specific constructs of HIV-related and sexual abuse-related shame. To ameliorate this gap, we present a 31-item measure that assesses HIV and sexual abuse-related shame, and the impact of shame on HIV-related health behaviors. A diverse sample of 271 HIV-positive men and women who were sexually abused as children completed the HIV and Abuse Related Shame Inventory (HARSI) among other measures. An exploratory factor analysis supported the retention of three-factors, explaining 56.7% of the sample variance. These internally consistent factors showed good test-retest reliability, and sound convergent and divergent validity using eight well-established HIV specific and general psychosocial criterion measures. Unlike stigma or discrimination, shame is potentially alterable through individually-focused interventions, making the measurement of shame clinically meaningful.

Correlates of HIV testing among abused women in South Africa.

Gender-based violence increases a woman's risk for HIV but little is known about her decision to get tested. We interviewed 97 women seeking abuse-related services from a nongovernmental organization (NGO) in Johannesburg, South Africa. Forty-six women (47%) had been tested for HIV. Caring for children (odds ratio [OR] = 0.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [0.07, 1.00]) and conversing with partner about HIV (OR = 0.13, 95% CI = [0.02, 0.85]) decreased odds of testing. Stronger risk-reduction intentions (OR = 1.27, 95% CI = [1.01, 1.60]) and seeking help from police (OR = 5.51, 95% CI = [1.18, 25.76]) increased odds of testing. Providing safe access to integrated services and testing may increase testing in this population. Infection with HIV is highly prevalent in South Africa where an estimated 16.2% of adults between the ages of 15 and 49 have the virus. The necessary first step to stemming the spread of HIV and receiving life-saving treatment is learning one's HIV serostatus through testing. Many factors may contribute to someone's risk of HIV infection and many barriers may prevent testing. One factor that does both is gender-based violence.

THE DEVELOPMENT AND FEASIBILITY OF A BRIEF RISK REDUCTION INTERVENTION FOR NEWLY HIV-DIAGNOSED MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH MEN.

Men who have sex with men (MSM) represent more than half of all new HIV infections in the United States. Utilizing a collaborative, community based approach, a brief risk reduction intervention was developed and pilot tested among newly HIV-diagnosed MSM receiving HIV care in a primary care setting. Sixty-five men, within 3 months of diagnosis, were randomly assigned to the experimental condition or control condition and assessed at baseline, 3-month, and 6-month follow-up. Effect sizes were calculated to explore differences between conditions and over time. Results demonstrated the potential effectiveness of the intervention in reducing risk behavior, improving mental health, and increasing use of ancillary services. Process evaluation data demonstrated the acceptability of the intervention to patients, clinic staff, and administration. The results provide evidence that a brief intervention can be successfully integrated into HIV care services for newly diagnosed MSM and should be evaluated for efficacy.

Improving the lens design and performance of a contemporary electromagnetic shock wave lithotripter.

The efficiency of shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), a noninvasive first-line therapy for millions of nephrolithiasis patients, has not improved substantially in the past two decades, especially in regard to stone clearance. Here, we report a new acoustic lens design for a contemporary electromagnetic (EM) shock wave lithotripter, based on recently acquired knowledge of the key lithotripter field characteristics that correlate with efficient and safe SWL. The new lens design addresses concomitantly three fundamental drawbacks in EM lithotripters, namely, narrow focal width, nonidealized pulse profile, and significant misalignment in acoustic focus and cavitation activities with the target stone at high output settings. Key design features and performance of the new lens were evaluated using model calculations and experimental measurements against the original lens under comparable acoustic pulse energy (E+) of 40 mJ. The -6-dB focal width of the new lens was enhanced from 7.4 to 11 mm at this energy level, and peak pressure (41 MPa) and maximum cavitation activity were both realigned to be within 5 mm of the lithotripter focus. Stone comminution produced by the new lens was either statistically improved or similar to that of the original lens under various in vitro test conditions and was significantly improved in vivo in a swine model (89% vs. 54%, P = 0.01), and tissue injury was minimal using a clinical treatment protocol. The general principle and associated techniques described in this work can be applied to design improvement of all EM lithotripters.

Lognormal and gamma mixed negative binomial regression

In regression analysis of counts, a lack of simple and efficient algorithms for posterior computation has made Bayesian approaches appear unattractive and thus underdeveloped. We propose a lognormal and gamma mixed negative binomial (NB) regression model for counts, and present efficient closed-form Bayesian inference; unlike conventional Poisson models, the proposed approach has two free parameters to include two different kinds of random effects, and allows the incorporation of prior information, such as sparsity in the regression coefficients. By placing a gamma distribution prior on the NB dispersion parameter r, and connecting a log-normal distribution prior with the logit of the NB probability parameter p, efficient Gibbs sampling and variational Bayes inference are both developed. The closed-form updates are obtained by exploiting conditional conjugacy via both a compound Poisson representation and a Polya-Gamma distribution based data augmentation approach. The proposed Bayesian inference can be implemented routinely, while being easily generalizable to more complex settings involving multivariate dependence structures. The algorithms are illustrated using real examples. Copyright 2012 by the author(s)/owner(s).

The incidence of unacceptable movement with motor evoked potentials during craniotomy for aneurysm clipping.

OBJECTIVE: To review the experience at a single institution with motor evoked potential (MEP) monitoring during intracranial aneurysm surgery to determine the incidence of unacceptable movement. METHODS: Neurophysiology event logs and anesthetic records from 220 craniotomies for aneurysm clipping were reviewed for unacceptable patient movement or reason for cessation of MEPs. Muscle relaxants were not given after intubation. Transcranial MEPs were recorded from bilateral abductor hallucis and abductor pollicis muscles. MEP stimulus intensity was increased up to 500 V until evoked potential responses were detectable. RESULTS: Out of 220 patients, 7 (3.2%) exhibited unacceptable movement with MEP stimulation-2 had nociception-induced movement and 5 had excessive field movement. In all but one case, MEP monitoring could be resumed, yielding a 99.5% monitoring rate. CONCLUSIONS: With the anesthetic and monitoring regimen, the authors were able to record MEPs of the upper and lower extremities in all patients and found only 3.2% demonstrated unacceptable movement. With a suitable anesthetic technique, MEP monitoring in the upper and lower extremities appears to be feasible in most patients and should not be withheld because of concern for movement during neurovascular surgery.

Understanding the Context for Long-Term Care Planning.

Evolving family structure and economic conditions may affect individuals' ability and willingness to plan for future long-term care (LTC) needs. We applied life course constructs to analyze focus group data from a study of family decision making about LTC insurance. Participants described how past exposure to caregiving motivated them to engage in LTC planning; in contrast, child rearing discouraged LTC planning. Perceived institutional and economic instability drove individuals to regard financial LTC planning as either a wise precaution or another risk. Perceived economic instability also shaped opinions that adult children are ill-equipped to support parents' LTC. Despite concerns about viability of social insurance programs, some participants described strategies to maximize gains from them. Changing norms around aging and family roles also affected expectations of an active older age, innovative LTC options, and limitations to adult children's involvement. Understanding life course context can inform policy efforts to encourage LTC planning.
