新生代孢粉分析与古气候定量重建的研究

定量重建地球生态系统的气候参数是当前国际古气候研究的目标之一. 自20世纪70年代以来, 尤其是在海洋学研究领域, 新技术的不断应用使得定量的古气候研究蓬勃发展. 相比之下陆地古气候参数的重建要困难得多, 陆地植物作为对环境的良好记录，一直备受重视. 近数十年来, 国际上广泛开展了利用植物材料定量研究气候的探索, 大量新的方法层出不穷. 德国科学家Mosbrugger和Utescher在1997年倡导的共存分析法(The Coexistence Approach)就是其中之一, 它依据现存最近亲缘类群原理以及植物分布与气候的关系原理, 找到化石植物群中各类群的现存最近亲缘类群对各气候参数的耐受范围; 并将各亲缘类群对同一气候参数的耐受范围叠加一起, 获得对该气候参数的共存区间, 用该区间作为对古气候参数的精确估测. 本文首先阐述在原文位于展开讨论的共存分析的理论基础——探讨植物分布与气候之间关系的耐受性理论. 并以此为指导, 对在该方法中气候台站的选用方法作了改进, 气象台站的选择应以植物的标本记录点为基础: 即使在某一特定的植物分布区内部也应该查看气象台站所在县级行政区域是否有该植物的标本采集信息, 并以此为依据来决定是否选用该气象台站的记录; 选用的气象台站的数量多寡应该以植物分布点的多少来决定. 以此为基础, 我们采用中国的植物分布与气象记录数据, 利用孢粉学的研究结果，定量重建了我国新生代三个地点的古气候参数, 结果如下: 1.内蒙古呼伦湖地区全新世初期气候 MAT: 4.4~10.2℃; MWMT: 22.9~24.1℃; MCMT: -18~-9.1℃; DT: 33.5~40.9℃; MAP: 354.3~686.7mm; MMaP: 103.8~191.9mm; MMiP: 2.7~7.3mm. 我们以扎赉诺尔地区的孢粉学研究为基础, 依据孢粉和盘星藻(Pediastrum Meyen)提供的环境信息并结合前人工作, 恢复了全新世初升温期的植被变化; 定量重建了10.4~10.2kaB.P.时的气候, 为全面理解呼伦湖地区的气候变化以及东亚的夏季风变化提供新的依据. 2.云南洱源上新世气候 MAT: 13.3~18.6℃; MWMT: 24.6~27.5℃; MCMT: 1.9~12.1℃; DT: 14.2~16.6℃; MAP: 619.9~1484.3mm; MMaP: 143.8~245.6mm; MMiP: 12.7~16.4mm. 该结果与羊邑、龙陵上新世古气候及三地的现代气候分析对比表明, 在上新世, 三地年均温符合纬向变化, 而降水量则基本一致. 在现代，洱源与羊邑在气候与植被上很相近, 且与上新世相差不大; 而龙陵地区则发生了显著的变化, 年均温比上新世低, 而降水量则大幅增加. 该变化指示了上新世以来作为青藏高原东部边缘的龙陵地区可能出现了地形的抬升. 3.吉林珲春始新世和中新世气候 始新世: MAT: 14.3~14.9℃; MWMT: 25~26.3℃; MCMT: 1.9~3.7℃; DT: 21.7~23℃; MAP: 797.5~1344mm; MMaP: 185.3~209.8mm; MMiP: 14.2~16.4mm. 中新世: MAT: 14.3~14.9℃; MWMT: 24.3~25.4℃; MCMT: 2.1~3.7℃; DT: 21.7~22.7℃; MAP: 658.7~817.7mm; MMaP: 158.9~174.6mm; MMiP: 7.4~7.6mm. 通过对两个时段的气候参数对比, 始新世时, 吉林珲春地区的气候属于北亚热带气候; 中新世时气候发生了改变, 归属于暖温带南部的气候, 改变了前人关于中新世也归属于被亚热带的认识, 这反映了我国东北部地区与全球新生代降温总趋势具有一定的同步性.

藻胆体的光谱特性光能传递

1．对嗜热蓝藻层理鞭枝藻(Mastigocladus laminosus)藻胆体的光谱特性和光能传递进行了研究。其完整藻胆体的吸收峰位于622 nm，室温荧光发射峰位于673 nm。在77K荧光发射光谱中，完整藻胆体的荧光峰只有一个，位于685 nm，是末端发射体1的荧光。在低浓度磷酸缓冲液中发生严重解离的藻胆体，其77K荧光发射光谱中有二个发射峰和一个发射肩。两个荧光发射峰分别位于644 nm和683 nm。前者为主峰，属于C-藻蓝蛋白的荧光，后者是次峰，属于末端发射体2的荧光。荧光发射肩位于660 nm附近，属于别藻蓝蛋白的荧光。据此，提出层理鞭枝藻藻胆体光能传递途径如下： 藻红蓝蛋白→c—藻蓝蛋白→别藻蓝蛋白→端发射体l、末端发射体2： 2．对嗜热蓝藻层理鞭枝藻藻胆体—类囊体膜的光谱特性和光能传递进行了研究。在吸收光谱中，其藻胆体——类囊体膜在可见光区域有5个峰，它们分别位于420 nm、438 nm、490 nm、624 nm和678 nm。420 nm、438 nm和678 nm为叶绿素a的吸收峰位置。490 nm是类胡罗卜素的吸收峰，624 nm是藻胆体的吸收峰。对藻胆体——类囊体膜用580 nm波长的光激发藻胆蛋白时，在室温荧光发射光谱中有一个发射峰和一个发射肩，分别位于657 nm和690 nm，前者属于藻胆蛋白的荧光，后者属于叶绿素a的荧光。这说明藻胆蛋白能将捕获的光能传递给类囊体膜上的叶绿素a。在77K荧光发射光谱中有4个峰，它们分别位于649 nm、660 nm、688 nm和730 nm。前二者属于藻胆蛋白的荧光，后二者属于叶绿素a的荧光。这同样说明藻胆蛋白能将捕获的光能传递给类囊体膜上的叶绿素a。当用436 nm波长光激发叶绿素a时，藻胆体——类囊体膜的室温荧光发射光谱中有两个荧光峰出现，位于685 nm的峰来源于光系统Ⅱ，位于713 nm的峰来源于系统I。这说明叶绿素a捕获的光能不能逆传递给藻胆体中的藻胆蛋白。在77K荧光发射光谱中也只有叶绿素a的荧光峰，位于695 nm的峰来源于光系统Ⅱ，位于730 nm的峰来源于光系统l。此结果同样说明叶绿素a捕获的光能不能逆传递给藻胆蛋白． 3．我们以多变鱼腥藻(Anabaena variabilis)为材料，对其藻胆体核心和藻蓝蛋白进行了重组实验，得到了具有光能传递效率的藻胆体核心——藻蓝蛋白复合物。在吸收光谱中，藻胆体核心有一吸收峰和一个吸收肩，分别位于654 nm和600 nm。藻蓝蛋白的吸收光谱中只有一个峰，位于620 nm．重组样品的吸收光谱有一吸收峰和一吸收肩，分别位于654 nm和620 nm．由于620 nm与654 nm的吸收比远大于核心的600 nm与654 nm的吸收比，因此，可以认为部分藻蓝蛋白已与核心重组。在室温荧光发射光谱中，藻胆体核心只有一个峰，位于676 nm。藻蓝蛋白只有一个峰，位于653 nm。重组样品有一荧光发射峰和一荧光发射肩，分别在669 nm和650 nm附近。669 nm荧光来源于核心，650 nm荧光来源于藻蓝蛋白。重组后的核心的650 nm荧光显著大于未重组的核心，这也说明部分藻蓝蛋白与核心已重组．在77K荧光发射光谱中，藻蓝蛋白只有一个峰，位于655 nm。藻胆体核心有二个峰，分别位于666 nm和686 nm。重组样品有两个荧光发射峰和一荧光发射肩，分别位于666 nm、683 nm和648 nm附近．重组的核心的别藻蓝蛋白的荧光(F666)和藻蓝蛋白的荧光(F648)都强于未重组的核心。这一结果同样说明有藻胆体——藻蓝蛋白复合物生成。 除以上研究工作之外，我们还对多变鱼腥藻藻胆体在解离过程中的光谱特性及光能传递、藻胆体——类囊体膜的光谱特性及光能传递、藻胆体解离重组、藻胆体核心在低浓度磷酸缓冲液中的光谱特性、以及温度对藻胆体核心的影响等进行了研究。研究结果有待整理。 本文编写：PBS：藻胆体;PEB：藻红胆素;PE：藻红蛋白;PUB:藻尿胆素;PEC：藻红蓝蛋白;PCB:藻蓝胆素;PC：藻蓝蛋白;PSⅡ：光系统Ⅱ;APC:别藻蓝蛋白;PS I：光系统I;TE:末端发射体

Vibration-assisted bone-graft compaction in impaction bone grafting of the femur

The complications of impaction bone grafting in revision hip replacement includes fracture of he femur and subsidence of the prosthesis. In this in vitro study we aimed to investigate whether the use of vibration, combined with a perforated tamp during the compaction of morsellised allograft would reduce peak loads and hoop strains in the femur as a surrogate marker of the risk of fracture and whether it would also improve graft compaction and prosthetic stability. We found that the peak loads and hoop strains transmitted to the femoral cortex during graft compaction and subsidence of the stem in subsequent mechanical testing were reduced. This innovative technique has the potential to reduce the risk of intra-operative fracture and to improve graft compaction and therefore prosthetic stability. © 2007 British Editorial Society of Bone and Joint Surgery.

Relationship between total length and mouth gap of some commercially important carp fry

The estimated regression equation for total length and mouth gape computed were Log TL = Log 0.23 + 0.663 log MG (vertically) (r = 0.960) and Log TL = Log 0.08 + 0.686 log MG (horizontally) (r = 0.949). In case of rohu average total length from 11350 mm to 23775 mm and mouth gape 805 um to 1225 um (vertically) and 700 um to 1110 um (horizontally) between the first day of mouth opening up to 15 days. The regression equation for total length and mouth gap were Log TL = Log 0.20 + 0.660 log MG (vertically) (r = 0.935) and Log TL = Log 0.02 + 0698 log MG (horizontally) ( r = 0.907). In case of silver carp average total length from 12800 ,urn to 33555 um and mouth gape 690 um to 1210 um (vertically) and 615 um to 1115 um (horizontally) between the first day of mouth opening up to 15 days. The regression equation for total length and mouth gape were Log TL = Log 0.36 + 0.596 log MG (vertically) (r = 0.936) and Log TL = Log 0.26 + 0.607 log MG (horizontally) (r = 0.891). The relationship between total length and mouth gape (vertically and horizontally) of the studied fry were found to be linear and highly significant.

The local and global stability of confined planar wakes at intermediate Reynolds number

At high Reynolds numbers, wake flows become more globally unstable when they are confined within a duct or between two flat plates. At Reynolds numbers around 100, however, global analyses suggest that such flows become more stable when confined, while local analyses suggest that they become more unstable. The aim of this paper is to resolve this apparent contradiction by examining a set of obstacle-free wakes. In this theoretical and numerical study, we combine global and local stability analyses of planar wake flows at $\mathit{Re}= 100$ to determine the effect of confinement. We find that confinement acts in three ways: it modifies the length of the recirculation zone if one exists, it brings the boundary layers closer to the shear layers, and it can make the flow more locally absolutely unstable. Depending on the flow parameters, these effects work with or against each other to destabilize or stabilize the flow. In wake flows at $\mathit{Re}= 100$ with free-slip boundaries, flows are most globally unstable when the outer flows are 50 % wider than the half-width of the inner flow because the first and third effects work together. In wake flows at $\mathit{Re}= 100$ with no-slip boundaries, confinement has little overall effect when the flows are weakly confined because the first two effects work against the third. Confinement has a strong stabilizing effect, however, when the flows are strongly confined because all three effects work together. By combining local and global analyses, we have been able to isolate these three effects and resolve the apparent contradictions in previous work.
