Isotope effect in proton-transfer and association-dissociation reactions for butylamine by ultrasonic relaxation methods

Ultrasonic absorption coefficients were measured for butylamine in heavy water (D2O) in the frequency range from 0.8 to 220 MHz and at concentrations from 0.0278 to 2.5170 mol dm(-3) at 25 degrees C; two kinds of relaxation processes were observed. One was found in relatively dilute solutions (up to 0.5 mol dm(-3)), which was attributed to the hydrolysis of butylamine. In order to compare the results, absorption measurements were also carried out in light water (H2O). The rate and thermodynamic parameters were determined from the concentration dependence of the relaxation frequency and the maximum absorption per wavelength. The isotope effects on the diffusion-controlled reaction were estimated and the stability of the intermediate of the hydrolysis was considered while comparing it with the results for propylamine in H2O and D2O. Another relaxation process was observed at concentrations greater than 1 mol dm(-3) in D2O. In order to examine the solution characteristics, proton NMR measurements for butylamine were also carried out in D2O. The chemical shifts for the gamma- and delta-proton in butylamine molecule indicate the existence of an aggregate. From profiles of the concentration dependence of the relaxation frequency and the maximum absorption per wavelength of sound absorption, the source of the relaxation was attributed to an association-dissociation reaction, perhaps, associated with a hydrophobic interaction. The aggregation number, the forward and reverse rate constants and the standard volume change of the reaction were determined. It was concluded from a comparison with the results in H2O that the hydrophobic interaction of butylamine in D2O is stronger than that in H2O. Also, the isotope effect on this reaction was interpreted in terms of the solvent structure.

Polymerization of ethylene by zirconocene-B(C6F5)(3) catalysts with aluminum compounds

Ethylene polymerization by zirconocene-B(C6F5)(3) catalysts with various aluminum compounds has been investigated. It is found that the catalytic activity depended on zirconocenes used, and especially on the type of aluminum compounds. For Et(H(4)Ind)(2)ZrCl2 (H(4)Ind : tetrahydroindenyl), the activity decreases in the following order: Me3Al > i-Bu3Al > Et3Al much greater than Et2AlCl. While for Cp2ZrCl2(Cp : cyclopentadienyl), it varies as follows: i-Bu3Al > Me3Al much greater than Et3Al. Furthermore, the activity is significantly affected by the addition mode of the catalytic components, which may imply that the formation of active centers is associated with an existing concentration of catalytic components. Results of thermal behavior of polyethylene (PE) studied by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) show that crystallinity of the polymer prepared with Et3Al is higher than that with Me3Al or i-Bu3Al. It is also found that the number-average molecular weight ((M) over bar) of the polymers prepared with Me3Al or i-Bu3Al is much higher than that with Et3Al. H-1-NMR studies substantiate that i-Bu3Al is a more efficient alkylation agent of Cp2ZrCl2 in comparison with Me3Al. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Molecular characterization and effect of RNA interference of retinoid X receptor (RXR) on E75 and chitinase gene expression in Chinese shrimp Fenneropenaeus chinensis

Retinoid X receptor (RXR)/ultraspiracle (USP) is the heterodimeric partner of ecdysteroid receptor and is required for the molting process of arthropods. To better understand the molecular aspects governing the process of molting in shrimp, the full-length cDNA of two RXRs, named as FcRXR-1 and FcRXR-2 were obtained from Chinese shrimp Fenneropenaeus chinensis which were of 1715 and 1700 bp long, revealed a 1315 and 1300 bp open reading frame (ORF) respectively. Quantitative Real time PCR analysis showed a marked tissue-specific difference in the expression of FcRXR transcript, which revealed that the expression of FcRXR Could be regulated in a tissue-specific manner. Moreover, high expression of FcRXR mRNAs was observed in late pre-molt period (D3) and post molt stages (A-B) of shrimp. Among the two isoforms, FcRXR-2 appeared in a considerably high level in all the stages compared to the FcRXR-1. In addition, we examined the temporal expression of two chitinase genes: FcChitinase (FcChi) and FcChitinase-1 (FcChi-1) during the molt cycle of F chinensis. Both the FcChi and FcChi-1 transcripts were detected in all stages of molting, although considerable fluctuations observed through the molt cycle. Injection of double stranded RXR (dsRXR) into juvenile shrimp resulted in a maximum silencing effect at 48 h post injection. We analyzed the expression levels of FcChi, FcChi-1 and the ecdysone inducible gene E75 (FcE75) in samples of dsRXR injected shrimp. Significant reduction in levels of both FcE75, FcChi and FcChi-1 transcripts Occurred in the silenced shrimp. This correlation suggested that RXR might involve in the downstream regulation of E75 and chitinase gene transcription in the ecdysone signaling pathway of decapod crustaceans.

A quasi-synoptic interpretation of water mass distribution and circulation in the western North Pacific II: Circulation

Using the data of conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) intensive observations conducted during Oct.-Nov. 2005, this study provides the first three-dimension quasi-synoptic description of the circulation in the western North Pacific. Several novel phenomena are revealed, especially in the deep ocean where earlier observations were very sparse. During the observations, the North Equatorial Current (NEC) splits at about 12A degrees N near the sea surface. This bifurcation shifts northward with depth, reaching about 20A degrees N at 1 000 m, and then remains nearly unchanged to as deep as 2 000 m. The Luzon Undercurrent (LUC), emerging below the Kuroshio from about 21A degrees N, intensifies southward, with its upper boundary surfacing around 12A degrees N. From there, part of the LUC separates from the coast, while the rest continues southward to join the Mindanao Current (MC). The MC extends to 2 000 m near the coast, and appears to be closely related to the subsurface cyclonic eddies which overlap low-salinity water from the North Pacific. The Mindanao Undercurrent (MUC), carrying waters from the South Pacific, shifts eastward upon approaching the Mindanao coast and eventually becomes part of the eastward undercurrent between 10A degrees N and 12A degrees N at 130A degrees E. In the upper 2 000 dbar, the total westward transport across 130A degrees E between 7.5A degrees N and 18A degrees N reaches 65.4 Sv (1 Sv = 10(-6) m(3)s(-1)), the northward transport across 18A degrees N from Luzon coast to 130A degrees E is up to 35.0 Sv, and the southward transport across 7.5A degrees N from Mindanao coast to 130A degrees E is 27.9 Sv.

A subsurface countercurrent along the east coast of Luzon

A hydrographic section in the region east of Luzon was repeated 14 times during the period from 1986 to 1991. The data revealed the existence of a subsurface countercurrent located on the shoreward side of the Kuroshio with its upper boundary at about 500 m. The countercurrent, which should be called the Luzon Undercurrent (LUG), was only about 50 km wide, which is comparable to the baroclinic radius of deformation. Despite considerable variabilities both in velocity profile and intensity, the LUC appears to be a permanent feature. Over the period of observations, the maximum speed in the LUC calculated from the mean temperature and salinity by assuming geostrophy (relative to 2500 db) was 7 cm s(-1) at about 700 m and its mean geostrophic volume transport was 3.6 Sv (1 Sv = 10(6) m(3) s(-1)). About 28% of this transport was composed of the low-salinity North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) advected to the south along the coast of Luzon. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

北太平洋低纬度西边界流的时空特征和变异规律研究

北太平洋低纬度西边界流连接着太平洋热带环流和副热带环流，对于世界大洋经向质量、热量和盐量输送起着重要的作用，对北赤道流（NEC）、源区黑潮（KC）和棉兰老流（MC）的时空特征和变异规律进行研究，对认识北太平洋西边界流海洋在全球气候系统中的作用具有重要的理论和实践意义。 本文利用1957-2006年共50年的涡解高分辨率OFES（OGCM for the Earth Simulator）海洋模式资料，对北太平洋低纬度西边界流的时空特征和变异规律进行了分析，结果表明： （1）涡解高分辨率的OFES模式数据结果较SODA能更好地刻画NMK流系三维空间结构的分布特征；黑潮源区涡结构的变化，MUC、 LUC及NEC下的东向流也得到了较好的刻画；其空间结构与实测结果相吻合。 （2）北太平洋低纬度西边界流NMK流系流量具有明显的季节、年际和年代际变化，NEC、KC和MC流量的变化周期频谱较宽,主要为3－6个月的季节振荡和2-7年左右ENSO尺度周期以及10年以上周期的年代际变化。MC主要表现为准两年周期振荡。 （3）NEC、MC流量变化表现为单峰型分布，春季最大（5月），秋季最小（11月）；KC流量的变化为双峰型，大值出现在春季和夏末秋初，春季最大（4月），秋季次之，冬季最小（1月）。在季节时间尺度上，NEC、MC流量同相变化，除冬季外，KC与MC输运反向。 （4） 在年际时间尺度上，受北赤道流流量变化的影响，NEC与KC、MC流量之间为正相关关系；KC与MC分配量（北赤道流向北、向南的经向分配量）之间则为强的负相关关系，其年际异常变化与NEC分叉位置的变化和冷、暖ENSO事件发生密切相关。分叉位置偏北（南）时，KC分配量小（大）而MC分配量大（小）；在El Nino年，KC分配量小，MC分配量大，La Nina年情况则刚好相反。 （5）在年代际时间尺度上，在70年代末气候跃变以后，NEC、KC和MC流量明显减少，NMK环流系统减弱。NEC的减弱主要受上世纪80年代以后ENSO暖事件发生频率和强度的增加所影响，而KC和MC的减弱则主要受NEC减弱控制。同时发现，NEC分叉位置存有明显的年代际变化，在气候跃变以后有长期偏北的趋势，受其影响，与之相对应的是北赤道流向南经向分配量的增加和向北流量分配率的减少。 关键词：北太平洋，低纬度西边界流，北赤道流分叉，ENSO

渤黄海沉积物中的多环芳烃和多氯联苯及其与生态环境的耦合解析

海洋沉积环境中多氯联苯（PCBs）和多环芳烃（PAHs）的研究对于揭示其污染历史、来源途径、迁移转化以及评价其对环境的潜在生态风险都有重要的科学意义和应用价值，本研究选择我国典型近海中比较开阔的南黄海和受人为影响严重的渤海湾沉积物中的PAHs和PCBs作为主要研究对象，结合对生态环境对应关系的剖析，系统研究了沉积物中PAHs和PCBs的地球化学分布特征、影响控制因素、演变趋势、潜在生态风险等，获得了以下系统的认识： 1.南黄海表层沉积物中多环芳烃和多氯联苯的分布与沉积类型及模式相一致，受控于“沉积类型-动力过程-来源途径”。PCBs含量（范围：518～5848 pg/g，平均值：1715 pg/g）低于受人为影响严重的长江口、珠江口和渤海，分布具有中部海区＞东部海区＞西部海区的特征；PCBs随着沉积物粒径的减小和粘土含量的增加而增加，且与总有机碳（r=0.61，p＜0.01）含量呈显著线性正相关，表明PCBs在沉积物中的分布受控于被水动力过程原动力控制的沉积类型与沉积模式。 2. 1914～2004年间，南黄海沉积物中PAHs和PCBs的变化比较显著，在时间序列上经历了三个明显的不同阶段。近90年来，PAHs和PCBs在柱状样中垂直分布随深度的增加而降低，即近年南黄海沉积物中PAHs和PCBs的残留水平比上世纪初明显增加。其中1914～1932年间，PAHs和PCBs保持在较低的水平；1932～1962年间，PAHs和PCBs的含量发生急剧的变化，在1932～1944和1956～1962年两个时间段，PAHs和PCBs的含量达到峰值；自1962年至今，PAHs和PCBs呈稍有增加趋势。PAHs的组成和特征组分比值分析显示，1920～1944年间PAHs主要来自石油产品泄漏，1944～1980年间，主要来自草/木材/煤燃烧，1980年至2004年则显示出石油和燃烧产物混合来源的特征。 3.渤海湾沉积物中的PAHs、PCBs、DDTs和HCHs的分布模式不同，反映了这四种污染物的地球化学行为存在着明显的差异性。PAHs、PCBs、DDTs和HCHs的含量范围为149.0～393.4 ng/g，360.8～1728.3 pg/g，462.2～2007.3 pg/g和4.31～33.8 ng/g。马颊河口、海河口和黄河口附近的海区的沉积物中PAHs和PCBs的含量显著高于渤海湾内其它站位，DDTs在湾外沉积物中的含量大于湾内，在海河口附近站位测得HCHs含量的最高值，在其它站位其浓度变化不大。PAHs特征成分的比值显示渤海湾沉积物中PAHs主要来源于草/木材/煤燃烧的产物经过大气的输运过程进入水体；DDTs和HCHs的组成显示，在DDTs和HCHs被禁用后仍有新的输入源。 4.南黄海沉积物POPs总体水平不高，其环境污染危害和潜在生态风险不大，从沉积物POPs的角度来说南黄海的环境质量较好。潜在生态危害指数评价表明，渤海湾沉积物中芴可能会产生潜在的生态风险，DDTs和HCHs的含量低于一类沉积物质量标准值，总体而言，其沉积物质量良好，潜在生态风险较低。 论文的创新性点在于：1）首次研究了近百年南黄海沉积物中多环芳烃和多氯联苯的演变趋势，判断了其来源并对近百年二者的潜在生态风险进行评价。2）系统剖析了南黄海及渤海湾的生态环境与PAHs和PCBs的耦合关系，对阐明POPs的毒理效应有重要的科学意义。3）系统解析了渤海湾沉积物中PAHs，DDTs和HCHs的污染现状，来源和迁移途径，可为科学开发和利用渤海海域提供重要的理论依据。

若干大洋西边界潜流的分布特征及其形成机制

大洋环流是海盆尺度上海水的持久流动，是海洋中质量、热量输运的主要通道，对全球气候变化有重要影响。经过二十年来的大量调查研究，对海洋上层的风生大洋环流有了比较充分的认识。然而，近几十年来的大量观测显示，大洋环流的垂直结构并非像传统认识的那样单一，在很多区域存在与之反向的次表层潜流，如北赤道流（NEC）下方的北赤道逆流（NEUC）、棉兰老海流（MC）下方的棉兰老潜流（MUC），吕宋岛附近黑潮（KC）下方的吕宋潜流（LUC），东澳大利亚海流（EAC）下方的大堡礁潜流（GBRUC）和东澳大利亚潜流（EAUC），阿加勒斯海流（AC）下方的阿加勒斯潜流（AUC）等。这些潜流一般分布在西边界，或者在西边界处增强，称为“西边界潜流（WBUC）”。与表层环流相比，对次表层潜流的结构和形成机制认识不足，因此利用不断更新的各种实测数据和高分辨率同化数据，通过理论分析和数值试验，探讨研究次表层潜流的分布特征和形成机制，对于大洋环流动力学理论的进一步发展具有重要的科学意义。 本文利用中国ARGO资料中心提供的ARGO资料、全球简单海洋资料同化分析系统产生的SODA同化资料和日本地球模拟器模拟出来的OFES资料，分析了北太平洋潜流（NEUC、MUC和LUC）、南太平洋潜流（GBRUC和EAUC）和南印度洋潜流（AUC）的时间和空间分布特征，并基于温跃层以下转向的地转判据分析了其形成机制。主要结果如下： （1）在菲律宾以东海域，表层的NEC在12N附近的西边界分叉，形成向北的KC和向南的MC。在400-800米左右棉兰老岛东侧128E-130E处出现与上层海流方向相反的潜流MUC，MUC在9N和12N附近转向东并分成2支，汇入NEC下方的2支并行向东流的NEUC。到了1000米左右，吕宋岛东侧122E-124E处出现LUC，而MUC也有向岸的趋势，限制在127E以西的范围，两者在12Ｎ附近相遇，然后转向东汇入NEUC。随着深度的加深，NEUC的北侧分支流轴向北偏移。从SODA资料和OFES资料在8N、18N和138E断面的气候态年平均和月平均温度剖面可以很清晰的看出，温跃层分别呈现东高西低、西高东低和南高北低的趋势，这与各个断面上表层流和次表层逆流之间等值线倾斜方向一致。从月平均的速度剖面可以看出，MC一般位于600db以上，600db以下出现北向次表层潜流MUC，MUC春夏较强，秋冬较弱；KC一般位于500db以上，个别月份深入到2000db，其下方均有南向的LUC出现，LUC春夏较弱，秋冬较强；上层西向NEC的主体一般位于400db以上，其下方均有东向的NEUC出现，NEUC春夏较强，秋冬较弱。 在北太平洋菲律宾以东海域，同时满足两个判据的区域与潜流的发生区域符合情况较好，唯一的不同在于LUC汇入NEUC的区域没有同时满足两个判据。这是由于在吕宋岛和棉兰老岛东侧，海底地形较为陡峭，海流情况较为清晰，沿岸涡较少，而且在此区域内温跃层较浅，这些都为形成温跃层以下的地转流反向提供了充分的条件。 （2）在澳大利亚以东海域，表层的南赤道流（SEC）在澳大利亚东岸15S附近分叉，分为向北的北昆士兰海流（NQC）和向南的东澳大利亚海流（EAC）。500m-1000m，23S附近出现一支北向的次表层海流，沿着澳大利亚陆坡经过大堡礁抵达巴布亚新几内亚沿岸转向东，汇入新几内亚沿岸潜流（NGCUC），这支海流就是大堡礁潜流（GBRUC）。1000m-2000m，SEC下方15S附近出现东向的逆流。在2000m以下，由于地形的影响，海流局限在几个不连续的部分，而且流型较乱。从SODA资料和OFES资料在18S和30S断面的气候态年平均和月平均温度剖面可以很清晰的看出，温跃层均呈现西高东低的趋势。在18S，南向的EAC一般位于400db以上，其下方均有持续的GBRUC出现，一般有两个中心，春夏季较强，秋冬季较弱。在30S断面，EAC一般存在于2000db以上，其下方的次表层流并不规则。从此海域的气候态月平均分布来看，在大多月份没有北向的逆流存在，这说明其下方的次表层逆流并不是一个常年存在的现象。 在南太平洋，同时满足两个判据的区域包括SEC下方逆流的发生区域和澳大利亚东岸的沿岸区域，这些区域部分与潜流的发生区域符合较好，只是在30S左右并没有发生潜流的区域也同时满足判据。这是由于在30S附近，温跃层较深，导致了地转流较深，同时此区域内海底地形变化比较大，虽然在此位置形成了逆向的地转流，但是因为地形的限制，在此区域内不能形成有体系的逆流。 （3）在西南印度洋，SEC在非洲东岸分叉，形成一支源于25S的西南向海流——AC，这支海流平均流速达90cm/s左右，最大速度超过140cm/s。在其下方2000m左右，从35S开始在岸边出现东北向逆流——AUC，速度较小，仅为2cm/s左右。从31S、33S和35S断面的气候态年平均温度断面可以很清晰的看出，温跃层明显呈现西高东低的趋势。从月平均经向流速断面可以看出，在各个月份AC下方均出现不同强度的AUC，AC和AUC之间的等值线倾斜方向与温跃层的倾斜方向一致。 在南印度洋，满足判据的区域包括南非沿岸AUC的发生区域和南非东南的部分海域，南非沿岸的AUC紧靠岸边且深度较深，这是因为此区域内温跃层较深，导致形成的地转流位置较深，而形成的逆流由于与海底的摩擦而大大削弱。南非东南部分海域满足判据，大概是由于此区域海流比较复杂，而且此海域多涡。 表面风应力的强迫以及风生环流的斜压调整，使得潜流所在海域的海平面高度和温跃层倾斜方向相反，热带流涡和副热带流涡西向强化加强了该海域温跃层的倾斜程度，从而导致了次表层地转流反向。因此，大洋中次表层潜流是大洋斜压风生环流不可缺少的重要部分。但是在不同的海域存在不同的地形分布和海流分布，所以此理论只在某些合适的区域得到很好的体现。

近2千万年以来东亚季风演化的南海沉积矿物学记录

本论文通过对南海南部ODP1143站和北部ODP1146站两个长柱状沉积物的陆源矿物组成和堆积速率、生物硅含量和堆积速率、粘土矿物组成、结晶学特征、微形貌和化学成分、陆源物质粒度和元素地球化学的综合研究，分析了1143站和1146站的陆源物质来源的演变，分别建立了南海南部和北部的季风演化代用指标，并与黄土、深海风尘沉积、海洋微体古生物记录对比，重建了东亚季风在近20 Ma以来的长期演化，并探讨了青藏高原隆升在季风长期演化中的驱动作用。 地质背景和元素地球化学分析表明ODP1143站的陆源物质主要来自于湄公河的输入。但陆源物质堆积速率、中值粒径、粘土矿物组合、蒙脱石结晶度指数和生物硅含量和堆积速率在5.2 Ma前后的变化表明ODP1143站的湄公河物源在10–5.2 Ma可能受到了越南区域性地壳隆升和玄武岩喷发的影响。而自~5.2 Ma以来，到达ODP1143站的沉积物受湄公河流域内部物源通量所控制。 ODP1146站的陆源物质为多物源、多传输方式供应，并且近20 Ma以来各个物源/传输方式的强度发生了改变。粒度端员组分模拟揭示出，近20 Ma以来风尘平均贡献了20%物质到1146站，河流输入贡献80%。河流输入中，75%来自珠江和台湾，25%来自吕宋岛。1146站的沉积环境、粘土矿物、地球化学分析表明河流输入的石英、长石来自珠江、台湾；蒙脱石主要来自于吕宋岛，高岭石主要来自于珠江，伊利石和绿泥石来自于珠江、台湾、长江。 ODP1146站17–15 Ma间异常高的陆源物质(石英、长石、蒙脱石、高岭石)、生物硅和碳酸盐的堆积速率暗示了在17–15 Ma南海周围地区发生了强烈的构造活动，这可能与南海扩张停止有关。而ODP1146站稀土元素地球化学、粘土矿物结晶学特征在3 Ma以来的明显变化显示近3 Ma以来台湾物质的输入强度显著加强，这可能与3 Ma以来台湾造山活动加强有关。 ODP1143站粘土矿物/长石、高岭石/绿泥石比值和生物硅含量和堆积速率、陆源物质堆积速率的指标组合被用来建立了一个简单的东亚夏季风演化模型。结果显示8.5–7.6 Ma和 7.1–6.2 Ma分别为两个较强的夏季风阶段，在6.2–3.5 Ma为一相对稳定的阶段，然后在3.5–2.5 Ma不断加强，随后从2.5 Ma以来又不断减弱，直到1.0 Ma夏季风强度又再次加强，并且变化幅度和频率加大。 ODP1146站风尘含量、风尘堆积速率、(伊利石+绿泥石)/蒙脱石、(石英+长石)%、陆源物质的平均粒径被用来作为南海北部季风演化的代用指标。研究表明，近20 Ma以来东亚冬季风强度、亚洲内陆干旱程度和冬季风相对夏季风强度在12−9 Ma、8−4 Ma有所加强，在3 Ma以来显著加强。相比而言，夏季风强度在15−3 Ma间比较稳定，在3 Ma可能与冬季风同步加强。 ODP1143站、1146站、1148站的线性沉积速率，以及1143、1146站的总陆源物质、石英、长石和粘土矿物的物质堆积速率在3.5–2.5 Ma的几乎同时增加，代表着对3.5 Ma以来全球气候恶化和东亚夏季风加强的侵蚀响应。青藏高原的阶段性隆升可能促进了东亚季风在8 Ma和3 Ma左右的加强，但两极冰川扩展和全球变冷也是一个可能因素，也可能季风演化是二者共同作用的结果。我们的研究结果倾向于支持青藏高原阶段性隆升在东亚季风长期演化中的驱动作用。

PCBs and its coupling with eco-environments in Southern Yellow Sea surface sediments

In this paper, the spatial distribution and source of the PCBs in surface sediments of the Southern Yellow Sea (SYS) and influencing factors, such as the sediment characteristics (components, relative proportions and total organic carbon contents), and hydrodynamic conditions were analyzed. PCB concentrations in the surface sediments ranged from 518-5848 pg/g, with average values of 1715 pg/g decreasing sharply compared to last year. In the study area, the PCB pollution level in the middle area was the highest, followed by that of the east coast and the west coast, respectively. Although the PCB level in the coastal areas was lower than that in the middle areas, it was proven in our study that the Yellow Sea obtained PCBs by virtue of river inputs. There was a positive and pertinent correlation between the clay proportion and PCB concentrations, and the increase of the PCB concentrations was directly proportional to the increase of TOC contents, with r = 0.61, but it was contrary to the sediment grain size. Consequently, the factors controlling PCB distribution had direct or indirect relationships with sediment grain size; moreover, the hydrodynamic conditions determined the sediment components and grain size. In conclusion, hydrodynamic conditions of the Yellow Sea were the most important influencing factors effecting the distribution of PCBs in the surface sediments of the SYS. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
