岩石圈伸展对粤北下庄矿田铀成矿的制约机制研究

地球动力学与成矿关系的研究是地球科学研究的前沿领域，而陆内岩石圈伸展与成矿的关系的研究则是该领域相对比较薄弱的环节。 华南地区于白垩—古近纪发生了岩石圈强烈的伸展减薄事件，且岩石圈伸展减薄与该区同时期形成的众多金属和非金属矿床有密切的成因联系，尤其是华南地区的花岗岩型热液铀矿床，显示了与该区岩石圈伸展作用可能有多方面的成因联系。粤北下庄铀矿田位于位于南岭铀-多金属成矿带的南部，是华南地区典型的花岗岩型热液铀矿区，本次研究在深入细致的野外地质工作的基础上，运用流体包裹体地球化学、元素地球化学、同位素地球化学等方法手段，开展了对下庄铀矿田成矿流体性质、成矿过程中元素的活动规律、成矿流体来源及演化等方面的系统研究，初步探讨了岩石圈伸展对该区铀成矿的制约机制，并建立了可能的矿床成因模式。通过研究，本次工作获得了以下几点主要认识： （1）通过对下庄铀矿田部分铀矿床流体包裹体显微测温、激光拉曼光谱及液相成分分析研究，查明了下庄矿田铀矿床矿前期热液属中高温（200℃~350℃）、低盐度（0.72%~5.95%NaCl）、密度中等（0.703~0.830g/cm3）、活动深度较深（2.29km~5.74km）、富∑CO2、相对还原性质的流体；成矿期热液属中低温（主要为154℃ ~250℃）、低盐度（0~1.83%NaCl）、密度中等（0.628~0.867g/cm3）、活动深度较浅（0.19km~1.62km）、富F-、相对氧化性质的流体。 （2）矿石矿矿物电子探针测试分析及岩、矿石的微量元素地球化学分析研研究表明，本区铀矿床主要的原生铀矿物为沥青铀矿、铀石、钛铀矿，铀矿物的形成与Si、Ca���W等元素有密切的关系，而其它金属元素未显示明显地富集。矿石、脉石矿物部分继承了原岩的稀土元素组成，且在原岩基础上又有高度的演化。 （3）进行了矿区内碳酸盐的C���O同位素和黄铁矿的He、Ar稀有气体同位素的分析研究。研究表明，矿化剂∑CO2主要为幔源，大量的He、Ar等稀有气体也来自于地幔。矿区发育的深大断裂构造可能控制了幔源挥发份的加入。 （4）脉石矿物碳酸盐和萤石的Sr、Nd同位素地球化学研究显示，成矿流体中的这些元素主要源于地壳，南区矿床（338、339）的Sr、Nd组成则为富含壳源Sr、Nd的流体与幔源基性脉岩不同程度的水—岩反应所致。另外，碳酸盐铅同位素研究显示，下庄矿区成矿物质铀可能来自帽峰式后期流体交代的花岗岩体。 （5）岩石圈伸展与下庄矿田铀成矿有关系密切：下庄矿田铀矿床明显受伸展构造控制，伸展构造既为导矿构造，又为储矿构造；岩石圈伸展导致的地温梯度升高，大地热流平均值加大，驱动热液流体的流动，为铀成矿提供了主要的热驱动力；岩石圈伸展产生的深大断裂导通了壳幔间的联系，使幔源脱气成因挥发份（主要为∑CO2）沿断裂上升，加入壳源热水循环系统，从而参与了铀成矿。 （6）初步建立了下庄矿田“岩石圈伸展体系下大陆热水系统铀矿床成因模式”。模式认为，华南地区白垩—古近纪岩石圈伸展作用引发区内热水流体的大规模循环，且伸展引起的幔源脱气作用产生的挥发份（主要为ΣCO2）加入了贫铀、贫矿化剂的循环的地下热水中，形成了富矿化剂热水。富矿化剂热水从富铀花岗岩中浸出铀（氧化作用），变为富矿化剂、富铀热液流体，这种热液流体在伸展引起的热驱动下沿构造上升，热液流体上升到浅部时，由于地球化学障、流体压力释放等因素的影响，U被还原沉淀，并在有利部位富集成矿。

Synthesis of a neodymium-quinolate complex for near-infrared electroluminescence applications

A structurally pure, near-infrared emissive Nd-(5,7-dichloro-8-hydroxyquinoline)4 tetrakis complex has been synthesized. When incorporated as a dopant in the blue emissive, hole conducting polymer poly(N-vinylcarbazole), PVK, sensitized neodymium ion emission was observed following photo-excitation of the polymer host. OLED devices were fabricated by spin-casting layers of the doped polymer onto glass/indium tin oxide (ITO)/3,4-polyethylene-dioxythiophene-polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT) substrates. An external quantum efficiency of 1 x 10(-3)% and a near-infrared irradiance of 2.0 nW/mm(2) at 25 mA/mm(2) and 20 V was achieved using glass/ITO/PEDOT/ PVK:Nd-(5,7-dichloro-8-hydroxyquinoline)(4)/Ca/Al devices.

Near infrared electroluminescence from neodymium complex-doped polymer light emitting diodes

Organic light emitting diode devices employing organometallic Nd(9-hydroxyphenalen-1-one)(3) complexes as near infrared emissive dopants dispersed within poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) host matrices have been fabricated by spin-casting layers of the doped polymer onto glass/indium tin oxide (ITO)/3,4-polyethylene-dioxythiophene-polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT) substrates. Room temperature electroluminescence, centered at similar to 1065 nm. was observed from devices top contacted by evaporated aluminum or calcium metal cathodes and was assigned to transitions between the F-4(3/2) -> I-4(11/2) levels of the Nd3+ ions. In particular, a near infrared irradiance of 8.5 nW/mm(2) and an external quantum efficiency of 0.007% was achieved using glass/ITO/PEDOT/PVK:Nd(9-hydroxyphenalen-1-one)(3)/Ca/Al devices.

Interaction of water, hydrogen and their mixtures with SnO2 based materials: the role of surface hydroxyl groups in detection mechanisms

DRIFTS, TGA and resistance measurements have been used to study the mechanism of water and hydrogen interaction accompanied by a resistance change (sensor signal) of blank and Pd doped SnO2. It was found that a highly hydroxylated surface of blank SnO2 reacts with gases through bridging hydroxyl groups, whereas the Pd doped materials interact with hydrogen and water through bridging oxygen. In the case of blank SnO2 the sensor signal maximum towards H-2 in dry air (R-0/R-g) is observed at similar to 345 degrees C, and towards water, at similar to 180 degrees C, which results in high selectivity to hydrogen in the presence of water vapors (minor humidity effect). In contrast, on doping with Pd the response to hydrogen in dry air and to water occurred in the same temperature region (ca. 140 degrees C) leading to low selectivity with a high effect of humidity. An increase in water concentration in the gas phase changes the hydrogen interaction mechanism of Pd doped materials, while that of blank SnO2 is unchanged. The interaction of hydrogen with the catalyst doped SnO2 occurs predominantly through hydroxyl groups when the volumetric concentration of water in the gas phase is higher than that of H-2 by a factor of 1000.

DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS OF TRINUCLEAR RUTHENIUM COMPLEXES AS EFFECTIVE CATALYSTS OF WATER OXIDATION

Ruthenium red, a di-mu-oxo-bridged ruthenium complex, and its oxidised form, ruthenium brown, have been studied as possible homogeneous redox catalysts for the oxidation of water to O2 by Ce(IV) ions in H2SO4 and HCIO4. In both media the Ce(IV) ions oxidised the ruthenium red to brown and, with excess of Ce(IV), decomposed the ruthenium brown irreversibly to product(s) with three weak absorption bands at 390, 523 and 593 nm. Only in HCIO4 did the decomposition product(s) appear to act as a stable O2 catalyst. Spectral evidence tentatively suggests that the active catalyst may be a hydrolysed Ru(IV) polymeric species. The rate of catalysis was proportional to the initial concentration of ruthenium red/brown and the activation energy was determined as 36 +/- 1 kJ mol-1 over the temperature range ambient to ca. 50-degrees-C. At temperatures greater than 50-degrees-C the O2 catalyst undergoes an irreversible thermal decomposition reaction.

A 50,000-year record of Late Pleistocene tropical vegetation and human impact in lowland Borneo.

There has been considerable uncertainty about the nature of Pleistocene environments colonised by the first modern humans in Island SE Asia, and about the vegetation of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in the region. Here, the palynology from a series of exposures in the Great Cave of Niah, Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo, spanning a period from ca. 52,000 to 5000 BP is described. Vegetation during this period was climate-driven and often highly unstable. Interstadials are marked by lowland forest, sometimes rather dry and at times by mangroves. Stadials are indicated by taxa characteristic of open environments or, as at the LGM, by highly disturbed rather open forest. Stadials are also characterised by taxa now restricted to 1000-1600 m above sea level, suggesting temperature declines of ca 7-9 C relative to present, by comparison with modern lapse rates. The practice of biomass burning appears associated with the earliest human activity in the cave.

Chaotropicity: a key factor in product tolerance of biofuel-producing microorganisms

Fermentation products can chaotropically disorder macromolecular systems and induce oxidative stress, thus inhibiting biofuel production. Recently, the chaotropic activities of ethanol, butanol and vanillin have been quantified (5.93, 37.4, 174kJkg(-1)m(-1) respectively). Use of low temperatures and/or stabilizing (kosmotropic) substances, and other approaches, can reduce, neutralize or circumvent product-chaotropicity. However, there may be limits to the alcohol concentrations that cells can tolerate; e.g. for ethanol tolerance in the most robust Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains, these are close to both the solubility limit (<25%, w/v ethanol) and the water-activity limit of the most xerotolerant strains (0.880). Nevertheless, knowledge-based strategies to mitigate or neutralize chaotropicity could lead to major improvements in rates of product formation and yields, and also therefore in the economics of biofuel production.

Synthesis, thermal characterization and rheological properties of a homologous series of polymethacrylate-based side-chain liquid crystal polymers

A new homologous series of side-chain liquid crystal polymers, the poly[omega-(4-cyanoazobenzene-4'-oxy)alkyl methacrylate]s, have been prepared in which the length of the flexible alkyl spacer is varied from 3 to 12 methylene units. All the polymers exhibit liquid crystalline behaviour; specifically, crystal E, smectic A and nematic phases are observed. The glass transition temperatures decrease on increasing spacer length before reaching a limiting value at ca. 30 degrees C. The clearing temperatures exhibit an odd-even effect on varying the length and parity of the spacer. This is attributed to the change in the average shape of the side chain as the parity of the spacer is varied. This rationalization also accounts for the observed alternation in the entropy change associated with the clearing transition. A weak relaxation is observed theologically for several members of this polymer series at temperatures above their respective glass transition temperatures. This is attributed either to specific motions of the smectic layers or to 180 degrees reorientational jumps of the long axis of the mesogenic unit about the polymer backbone.

Einfluss von Erhitzung und Gefriertrocknung auf die Lutein- und Zeaxanthin-Konzentrationen in Eigelb

Veränderungen der Matrixbindung und der molekularen Struktur der antioxidativ wirkenden Carotinoide können die Bioakzessibilität dieser Substanzen beeinflussen. Die vorliegende Studie untersuchte die Einflüsse von Erhitzung und Gefriertrocknung auf die Massenkonzentrationen der all-E- und 13-Z-Isomere von Lutein und Zeaxanthin in Eigelb und dessen Fraktionen Plasma und Granula. Dabei wurden die Strukturveränderungen der Lipoproteine, mit deren Lipiden die Eigelb-Xanthophylle assoziiert sind, betrachtet. Die Strukturentfaltungen der Low-Density und High-Density Lipoproteine (LDL und HDL) erhöhten die Extrahierbarkeit sowie Z-Isomerisierungen und oxidative Degradationen der Xanthophylle, die der Temperatureinfluss und Reaktanten katalysierten. Die Extrahierbarkeit, Z-Isomerisierungen und oxidative Degradationen der Xanthophylle waren durch den Aufschluss, die Gelbildung, die Oberflächenvergrößerung und die Erhöhung des Trockenmassegehalts der Matrix beeinflusst. Die Strukturentfaltung der in hohen Mengen in Plasma enthaltenen LDL findet bei geringeren Temperaturen (ca. 65 - 76 °C) als die der in Granula dominanten HDL (ca. 75 - 84 °C) statt. Zudem schien die gefriertrocknungsinduzierte Strukturentfaltung der LDL im Gegensatz zu HDL und Granula durch Rehydratation nicht vollständig reversibel zu sein. Daher wies Plasma eine geringere Stabilität bei der Erhitzung und Gefriertrocknung als Eigelb und Granula auf. Die Entfaltung von Lipoproteinstrukturen und die thermisch katalysierte Z-Isomerisierung sind wahrscheinlich für die signifikante 13-Z-Lutein-Zunahme nach Erhitzung von Plasma und Granula bei 82 und 87 °C sowie von Granula bei 77 °C verantwortlich. Der signifikante Verlust der all-E-Isomere der bei 87 °C erhitzten Proben von Eigelb und Granula war vermutlich durch 13-Z-Isomerisierungen und oxidative Degradationen der Xanthophylle bedingt. Marginale Veränderungen der Xanthophylle basierten vermutlich darauf, dass die multifaktoriellen Einflüsse bei der Erhitzung einander kompensierten. Die Erhitzung bei 67 °C bedingte zudem aufgrund der weitgehenden Erhaltung der Lipoproteine ähnliche Xanthophyll-Gehalte wie bei den unerhitzten Proben. Bei der Gefriertrocknung führten die Strukturentfaltung der Lipoproteine unter Abspaltung der Lipide und die abtrocknungsbedingte Oberflächenvergrößerung zu signifikanten Zunahmen der Xanthophylle bei Plasma und Granula. Dies bestätigte sich für gefriergetrocknetes Eigelb vermutlich aufgrund von oxidativen Degradationen und Aggregationen der Xanthophylle nicht. Unterschiedliche Massenkonzentrationsänderungen der Xanthophylle im Vergleich der beiden Chargen wurden mit unterschiedlichen Anteilen an ungesättigten Fettsäuren erklärt. Die charakteristischen Anteile an Proteinen und Lipoproteinen, deren Gelbildungseigenschaften und die Lipidkomposition der Lipoproteine sowie die methodisch bedingte Verdünnung von Plasma waren vermutlich für die bei Granula, Plasma und Eigelb differierenden Massenkonzentrationsänderungen der Xanthophylle verantwortlich. Die Ergebnisse ließen eine höhere 13-Z-Isomerisierungsneigung von all-E-Lutein im Vergleich zu all-E-Zeaxanthin vermuten.

Forest Policy Scenario Analysis: Sensitivity of Songbird Community to Changes in Forest Cover Amount and Configuration

Changes in mature forest cover amount, composition, and configuration can be of significant consequence to wildlife populations. The response of wildlife to forest patterns is of concern to forest managers because it lies at the heart of such competing approaches to forest planning as aggregated vs. dispersed harvest block layouts. In this study, we developed a species assessment framework to evaluate the outcomes of forest management scenarios on biodiversity conservation objectives. Scenarios were assessed in the context of a broad range of forest structures and patterns that would be expected to occur under natural disturbance and succession processes. Spatial habitat models were used to predict the effects of varying degrees of mature forest cover amount, composition, and configuration on habitat occupancy for a set of 13 focal songbird species. We used a spatially explicit harvest scheduling program to model forest management options and simulate future forest conditions resulting from alternative forest management scenarios, and used a process-based fire-simulation model to simulate future forest conditions resulting from natural wildfire disturbance. Spatial pattern signatures were derived for both habitat occupancy and forest conditions, and these were placed in the context of the simulated range of natural variation. Strategic policy analyses were set in the context of current Ontario forest management policies. This included use of sequential time-restricted harvest blocks (created for Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus) conservation) and delayed harvest areas (created for American marten (Martes americana atrata) conservation). This approach increased the realism of the analysis, but reduced the generality of interpretations. We found that forest management options that create linear strips of old forest deviate the most from simulated natural patterns, and had the greatest negative effects on habitat occupancy, whereas policy options that specify deferment and timing of harvest for large blocks helped ensure the stable presence of an intact mature forest matrix over time. The management scenario that focused on maintaining compositional targets best supported biodiversity objectives by providing the composition patterns required by the 13 focal species, but this scenario may be improved by adding some broad-scale spatial objectives to better maintain large blocks of interior forest habitat through time.
