The Central Asian Orogen Belt (CAOB), which is different from the subductional orogen and the collisional orogen, is known as the most important site of crustal growth in the Phanerozoic, and it has been a ‘hot spot’ for studying the orogenic belts. The Chinese West Tianshan Orogen is occupying the west-southern part of the CAOB and is of great importances to understand the orogenic processes and the continental growth in the Central Asia. The West Tianshan Orogen had undergone complex tectonic evolutional processes in Paleozoic times and large volumes granitic rocks have recorded important information about these processes. Litter is known about Phanerozoic continental growth in the Western Tianshan area so far, compared with the other areas of the CAOB, such as eastern Junggar, western Junggar, Altai and Alakol. The aim of this dissertation is to set up the chronology frame of granitoids in western Tianshan, provide new evidence for the tectonic evolution and discuss the Paleozoic continental growth in this area, on the basis of the studies on the isotopic chronology, major element, trace element and Nd-Sr isotopic geochemistry of granitoids and the isotopic chronology and geochemistry of the ophiolites in this area, especially the Kule Lake ophiolites. 25 precise SHRIMP U-Pb zircon and LA-ICPMS U-Pb zircon ages have been obtained in this dissertation. The granitic rocks in western Tianshan had been formed during two periods: the granitic gneiss with an age of 896Ma, possibly representing the forming age of the Precambrian basement; the granitic rocks with ages varying from 479Ma to 247Ma, recording the Paleozoic orogenic process of western Tianshan. The granitoids in western Tianshan are composed of intermediate-basic rocks, intermediate rocks, intermediate-acid rocks and acid rocks, mainly intermediate-acid rocks and acid rocks. They are mostly granite, granodiorite, quartz syenite and monzodiorite. Different types of granitic rocks are exposed in different tectonic units. The granitoids on the northern margin of the Yili Plate mainly formed in late Paleozoic (413Ma ~ 281Ma), those with ages varying from 413Ma to 297Ma show continental arc affinities and the magnesian calc-alkalic metaluminous diorite of 281Ma display the geochemical characteristics similar to those of granites formed during the post-orogenic period. The granitiods on the southern margin of the Yili Plate include the adakite diorite of 470Ma which was formd by partial melting of thickened lower crust, the post-collisional alkali-feldspar granite of 430Ma, the volcanic arc granite of 348Ma and the Triassic post-collisional granite. The granitoids in the Central Tianshan Plate formed in 479Ma ~ 247Ma, mainly in 433Ma ~ 321Ma. The granitic rocks with ages of 479Ma ~ 321Ma are magnesian calc-alkalic to alkalic rocks with continental arc affinities. A few post-collisional granitoids of 276Ma ~ 247Ma may have inherited the geochemical characteristics of pre-existing arc magma. The granitic rocks in Southern Tianshan (northern margin of the Tarim plate) formed two stages, 420Ma ~ 411Ma and ca. 285Ma. The magnesian calcic to alkalic granites of 420Ma ~ 411Ma may formed during the extension process of the continental margin. The granite of 285Ma includes mostly ferroan calc-alkalic to alkali-calcic rocks with high SiO2 and high alkaline contents, and obviously negative anomaly of Eu, Ba, Sr, P, Ti, similar to the geochemical characteristics of the A-type granite which is formed during post-collisional extension. The Kule Lake ophiolite in southern Tianshan shows the affinity of N-MORB. A SHRIMP zircon U-Pb age of 425±8Ma has obtained for gabbros. Some zircons have given another group of 206Pb/238U age 918Ma, which may indicate the information of the pre-exist old basement rock. The small oceanic basin represented by Kule Lake ophiolite probably developed on the split northern margin of Tarim block. A model for Paleozoic tectonic evolution of the West Tianshan Orogen has been proposed here on the basis of the new results obtained in this dissertation and the previous published data. In Early Cambrian, the Terskey Ocean occurred along the North Nalati fault (NNF), and it separated the Yili plate from the Central Tianshan plate which was probably connected with the Tarim plate. The Terskey Ocean probably subducted towards south under the Central Tianshan plate and towards north under the Yili plate simultaneously. In the early stage of Late Ordovician, the Terskey Ocean had been closed, and the Yili and Central Tianshan plates collided. Meanwhile, extension happened within the joint Central Tianshan and Tarim plates gradually and the Paleo-South Tianshan Ocean had been formed. In Early Silurian, the Paleo-South Tianshan Ocean began to subduct beneath the composite Yili-Central Tianshan plate, which was intruded by volcanic arc granitoids. In Middle Silurian, the Paleo-South Tianshan Ocean, which had reached a certain width, was subducting strongly. And this subduction may have produced voluminous granitoids in the Central Tianshan plate. In the latest stage of Carboniferous, the Paleo-South Tianshan ocean closed, and the Yili-Central Tianshan plate and Tarim plate collided. In Late Cambrian, Paleo-Junggar Ocean occurred to north of the Yili plate; and started to subduct towards south under the Yili plate in Ordovician. This subduction may have produced a magma arc on the northern margin of the Yili plate. In Late Carboniferous, the Paleo-Junggar Ocean had been closed. The Yili-Central and Junggar plates amalgamated together. The West Tianhan Orogen may undergo a post-collisional collapse since Permian. And the magmatic activities may continue to early Triassic. The initial 87Sr/86Sr ration of the granitic rocks in the western Tianshan Mountains varies from 0.703226 to 0.716343, and Nd(t)from -6.50 to 2.03. The characteristics of Sr-Nd isotope indicate that the source of granitic material is not a sole source, which may be produced by mantle-crust magma mixing. In Paleozoic time, lateral growth of the continental crust along active continental margins was dominant, whereas the vertical growth of continental crust resulted from post- collisional mantle derived magmas was not obvious.

The study of pore structure in reservoir was paid attention to in the early reservoir research and now a systematic research methodology is set up. On the limits of tools and conditions, methodologies and technologies on formation condition and distribution laws of pore structure and the relationship between remaining oil distribution and pore structure are uncertain and some knownage about it is also uncertain. As the development of petroleum industry, the characterization of pore structure and the prediction of remaining oil are the hot spot and difficult point in the research of oil development. The author pays a close attention to this subject and has done much research on it. In a case study in Linnan oilfield Huimin sag Jiyang Depression Bohai Bay basin by using a new method, named varied scale comprehensive modeling of pore structure, the author builds pore structure models for delta reservoir, reveals the remaining oil distribution laws in delta facies, and predicts the distribution of remaining oil in Linnan oilfield. By the application of stratigraphy, sedimentology and structure geology. the author reveals the genetic types of sandbody and its distribution laws, builds the reservoir geological models for delta sandstone reservoir in Shahejie group in Linnan oilfield and points out the geological Factors that control the development of pores and throats. Combining petrology and the reservoir sensitive analysis, the author builds the rock matrix models. It is the first time to state that rocks in different sentimental micro facies have different sensitive .response to fluid pressed into the rocks. Normally. the reservoirs in the delta front have weaker sensitivity to fluid than the reservoirs in delta plain, In same subfacies, the microfacies that have fine grain, such as bank and crevasse splay, have stronger reservoir sensitivity than the microfacies that have coarse grains, such as under-water branched channel and debauch bar. By the application of advanced testing, such as imagine analysis, scan electronic microscope, and morphology method, the author classifies the pore structure and set up the distribution models of pore, throat and pore structure. By the application of advanced theory in well-logging geology, the author finds the relationship between microscope pore structure and macroscopic percolation characteristics, and then builds the well-logging interpretation formulae for calculating pore structure parameters. By using the geostatistics methods, the author reveals the spatial correlative characteristics of pore structure. By application of conditional stochastic simulation methods, the author builds the 3D models of pore structure in delta reservoir. It is the base of predicting remaining oil distribution. By a great deal of experiments and theoretical deduction, The author expounds the laws of percolation flow in different pore structures, and the laws by which the pore structure controls the micro distribution of remaining oil, and then, states the micro mechanism of remaining oil distribution. There are two types of remaining oil. They are by-pass flow caused by micro-fingering and truncation caused by non-piston movement. By new method, the author states the different pore structure has different replacement efficiency, reveals the formation condition and distribution laws of remaining oil. predicts the remaining oil distribution in Linnan oil field, and put forward some idea about how to adjust the oil production. The study yielded good results in the production in Linnan oilfield.

Since the discovery of coesite-bearing eclogites in Dabie and Sulu region over ten years ago, the Dabie collisional orogen has been the "hot-spot" across the world. While many great progresses have been made for the last decade in the researches on the Dabie and Sulu UHP metamorphic rocks in the following fields, such as, petrology, mineralogy, isotope chronology, and geochemistry, the study of the structural geology on the Dabie orogen is still in great need. Thrust and nappe tectonics commonly developed in any collisional orogenic belt during the syncollisional process of the orogen. It is the same as the Dabic collisional orogen is concerned. The paper put much stress on the thrust and nappe tectonics in the Dabic orogenic belt, which have been seldom systematically studied before. The geometric features including the division and the spatial distribution of various thrust and nappe tectonics in the Dabie orogen have been first studied, which is followed by the detailed studies on their kinematic characteristics in different scales varying from regional tectonics to microtectonics. In the thesis, new deformation ages have been obtained by the isotopic methods of ~(40)Ar-~(39)Ar, Sm-Nd and Rb-Sr minerals-whole rock isochrons on the mylonites formed in three ductile shear zones which bounded three different major nappes in the Dabie collisional orogenic belt. And the petrological, geochemical characteristics of some metamorphic rocks as well as the geotectonics of their protoliths, which have also deformed in the ductile shear zone, are analyzed and discussed. In the paper, twelve nappes in the Dabie orogen are first divided, which are bounded by various important NWW or NW-strike faults and three NNE-strike faults. They are Shangcheng Nappe, Huoshan Nappe, Yuexi Nappe, Yingshanjian-Hengzhong Nappe, Huangzhen Nappe, Xishui-Huangmei Nappe, Zhoudang Nappe, Suhe-Huwan Nappe, Xinxian Nappe, Hong'an Nappe, Mulan Nappe and Hhuangpi-Susong Nappe. In the Dabie orogen, three types of thrust and nappe tectonics belonging to two stages have been confirmed. They are: (1) early stage ductile thrust -nappe tectonics which movement direction was top-to-the-south; (2) late stage brittle to ductile-brittle thrust-nappe tectonics which are characterized by double-vergence movement, including top-to-the-north and top-to-the-south; (3) the third type also belongs to the late stage which also characterized by double-vergence movement, including top-to-the-east and top-to-the-west, and related to the strike-slip movement. The deformation ages of both Wuhe-Shuihou ductile shear zone and Taihu-Mamiao ductile shear zone have been dated by ~(40)Ar-~(39)Ar method. ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar plateau ages of biotite and mica from the mylonites in these two shear zones are 219.57Ma and 229.12Ma. The plateau ages record the time of ductile deformation of the ductile shear zones, which made the concerned minerals of the mylonites exhume from amphibolite facies to the middle-upper crustal conditions by the early stage ductile thrust-nappe tectonics. The mineral isochons of Sm-Nd and Rb-Sr dating on the same mylonite sample of the metamafic rocks are 156.5Ma and 124.56Ma respectively. The two isochron ages suggest that the mylonitic rock strongly deformed in the amphilbolite facies at 156Ma and then exhumed to the upper crustal green schist condition at 124Ma with the activities of the Quiliping-Changlinggang ductile shear zone which bounded to the southen edge of Xinxian Nappe. Studies of the petrological and geochemical characteristics of some meta-mafic rocks and discussion on the geotectonics of their protoliths indicate that their protoliths were developped in an island arc or back-arc basin or active continental margin in which calc-alkline basalts formed. This means that arc-accretion orogeny had evolved in the margins of North china plate and/or Yangtze plate before these two plates directly collided with each other during the evolution process of Dabie orogen. Three-stage evolution of the thrust-nappe tectonics in Dabie collisional orogen has been induced based on the above-mentioned studies and previous work of others. And a possible 3-stage exhumation model (Thrust-Positive Flower Structure Model) has also been proposed.

The continental mantle geochemical characteristics and crust-mantle evolution in the west of Yangtze Plate was discussed through the study of some within-plate basic-ultrabasic rocks from Lower Proterozoic to Later Paleozoic in this paper. In the Lower Proterozoic, the plate subduction between the pre-Tethys Proterozoic Ocean Plate and paleo-Yangtze Plate induced some basic volcanic formed in the island arc-back arc surrounding, which were represented by Ailaoshan Group-Dibadu Formation-Dahongshan Group, and there existed EM I component in the mantle source. The Middle Proterozoic Caiziyuan peridotite was formed in the epicontinental basin at the ocean-land boundary or within-continent rift basin. Its mantle source could be metasomatized by the dehydration fluid of subducted plate, and much initial radioactive ~(143)Nd was added to the source. In the Later Proterozoic, some rifts at the epicontinent or within-continent was formed due to the pre-Tethys oceanic plate subduction, and within-plate hot-spot Dahongshan diabase came into being. The whole-rock isochronal age of diabase is 1066±110Ma, and its mantle source was enriched Nd isotope and trace element which was related to the primary volatile component from asthenosphere and mantle plume. Its mantle source was included "FOZO" component representing mantle plume. The layer ultramafic rocks located at the Panxi Rift in the Middle-Later Paleozoic were resulted from different period and source. The early ultramafic indicated the incipient action of Panxi Rift, which is residue of continental lithospheric partial melting. Its mantle source involved subducted material and had distinct EM II component. The Emeishan basalt in the Later Paleozoic was typical continental flood basalt and its source also contained EM II component. The subduction of paleo-Tethys Ocean Plate provided essential dynamic condition for the large-scale opening of Panxi Rift, while the mantle plume supplied much material for Emeishan basalt. However, the plume was contaminated by the metasomatized continental mantle lithosphere in its upwelling process, which resulted in the Sr isotopic and incompatible elemental enrichment, and the Nd isotope kept down the weak-depleted character of mantle plume. The magmatic history in the west of Yangtze Plate is the tectonic process between pre-Tethys, paleo-Tethys Oceanic Plate and Yangtze Plate in a long history. Due to the subduction of oceanic plate, the crustal source material took part in the crust-mantle evolution widely. the continental mantle lithosphere in the west of Yangtze Plate was metasomatized by the fluid released by the subducted plate and the primary volatile from deeper mantle, and the mantle source include obvious enriched component.

It has been a difficult problem faced by seismologists for long time that how exactly to reconstruct the earth's geometric structure and distribution of physical attributes according to seismic wave's kinematical and dynamic characteristics, obtained in seismological observation. The jointing imaging of seismic reflector and anisotropy attributes in the earth interior is becoming the research hot spot. The limitation of shoot and observation system makes that the obtained seismic data are too scarce to exactly reconstruct the geological objects. It is popular that utilizing only seismic reflection traveltimes or polarizations information make inversion of the earth's velocity distribution by fixing seismic reflector configuration (vice versa), these will lead to the serious non-uniqueness reconstruction due to short of effective data, the non-uniqueness problem of reconstructing anisotropy attributes will be more serious than in isotropy media. Obviously it is not enough to restrict the media structure only by information of seismic reflection traveltimes or polarizations, which even sometimes will lead to distorted images and misinterpretation of subsurface structure. So we try to rebuild seismic reflection structure (geometry) and media anisotropic structure (physics) in the earth interior by jointing data of seismic wave kinematics and dynamics characteristics, we carry out the new experiment step by step, and the research mainly comprises of two parts: one is the reconstruction of P-wave vertical velocity and anisotropic structure(Thomsen parameter s and 8) in the transversely isotropic media with vertical symmetrical axis(VTI) by fixing geometrical structure, and the other is the simultaneous inversion of the reflector surface conformation and seismic anisotropic structure by jointing seismic reflection traveltimes and polarizations data. Simulated annealing method is used to the first research part, linear inversion based on BG theory and Simulated annealing are applied to the second one. All the research methods are checked by model experiments, then applied to the real data of the wide-angle seismic profile from Tunxi, Anhui Province, to Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province. The results are as following The inversion results based on jointing seismic PP-wave or PSV-wavereflection traveltimes and polarizations data are more close to real model than themodels based simply on one of the two data respectively. It is shown that the methodwe present here can effectively reconstruct the anisotropy attributes in the earth'sinterior when seismic reflector structure is fixed.The layer thickness, P-wave vertical velocity and Thomsen anisotropicparameters {s and 8) could be resolved simultaneously by jointing inversion ofseismic reflection traveltimes and polarizations with the linear inversion methodbased on BG theory.The image of the reflector structure, P-wave vertical velocity and theanisotropy parameters in the crust could be obtained from the wide-angle seismicprofile from Tunxi (in Anhui Province), to Wenzhou (in Zhejiang Province). Theresults reveal the difference of the reflector geometrical structure and physicalattributes in the crust between Yangtze block and Cathaysia block, and attempt tounderstand the characteristics of the crustal stress field in the areas.

The dilute acid hydrolysis of grass and cellulose with phosphoric acid was undertaken in a microwave reactor system. The experimental data and reaction kinetic analysis indicate that this is a potential process for cellulose and hemi-cellulose hydrolysis, due to a rapid hydrolysis reaction at moderate temperatures. The optimum conditions for grass hydrolysis were found to be 2.5% phosphoric acid at a temperature of 175 degrees C. It was found that sugar degradation occurred at acid concentrations greater than 2.5% (v/v) and temperatures greater than 175 degrees C. In a further series of experiments, the kinetics of dilute acid hydrolysis of cellulose was investigated varying phosphoric acid concentration and reaction temperatures. The experimental data indicate that the use of microwave technology can successfully facilitate dilute acid hydrolysis of cellulose allowing high yields of glucose in short reaction times. The optimum conditions gave a yield of 90% glucose. A pseudo-homogeneous consecutive first order reaction was assumed and the reaction rate constants were calculated as: k(1) = 0.0813 s(-1); k(2) = 0.0075 s(-1), which compare favourably with reaction rate constants found in conventional non-microwave reaction systems. The kinetic analysis would indicate that the primary advantages of employing microwave heating were to: achieve a high rate constant at moderate temperatures: and to prevent 'hot spot' formation within the reactor, which would have cause localised degradation of glucose.

The electric field enhancement associated with detailed structure within novel optical antenna nanostructures is modeled using the surface integral equation technique in the context of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The antennae comprise random arrays of vertically aligned, multi-walled carbon nanotubes dressed with highly granular Ag. Different types of "hot-spot" underpinning the SERS are identified, but contrasting characteristics are revealed. Those at the outer edges of the Ag grains are antenna driven with field enhancement amplified in antenna antinodes while intergrain hotspots are largely independent of antenna activity. Hot-spots between the tops of antennae leaning towards each other also appear to benefit from antenna amplification.

Joule heat-induced hot-spot formation sets severe limits in the operation of continuous annular electrochromatography (CAEC), a new concept for preparative separation as an analog to analytical capillary electrochromatography (CEC). This may lead to eluent flow perturbance, even to boiling, which would massively weaken separation efficiency and may even hamper the stationary phase used for separation. For reasons of system integration and high-efficiency heat transfer, micro flow heat exchangers are considered with a separate coolant flow. A 3D numerical analysis of the heat transfer of water single-phase laminar flow in a square microchannel and different arrays of micro pin-fins was carried out using COMSOL Multiphysics. Several advanced materials with low electric conductivity and at the same time with high heat conductivity were put forward to be used in the CAEC system. As essential design point, it is proposed to constitute the micro heat exchanger from two different parts of the CAEC system, namely a microstructured pin-fins plate and a so-called conductive plate.

The ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasiaclefting syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by heterozygous mutations in the p63 gene, a transcription factor belonging to the p53 family. The majority of cases of ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia syndrome are caused by de novo mutations and are therefore sporadic in approximately 60% of patients. The substitution of arginine to histidine (R279H), due to a c.836G>A mutation in exon 7 of the p63 gene, represents 55% of the identified mutations and is considered a mutational hot spot. A quantitative and sensitive real-time PCR was performed to quantify both wild-type and R279H alleles in DNA extracted from peripheral blood and RNA from cultured epithelial cells. Standard curves were constructed for both wild-type and mutant probes. The sensitivity of the assay was determined by generating serial dilutions of the DNA isolated from heterozygous patients (50% of alleles mutated) with wild-type DNA, thus obtaining decreasing percentages of p63 R279H mutant allele (50%, 37.5%, 25%, 12.5%, 10%, 7.5%, 5%, 2.5%, and 0.0%). The assay detected up to 1% of the mutant p63. The high sensitivity of the assay is of particular relevance to prenatal diagnosis and counseling and to detect therapeutic effects of drug treatment or gene therapy aimed at reducing the amount of mutated p63. © 2012 American Society for Investigative Pathology and the Association for Molecular Pathology.

Decreasing the constriction size and residence time in hydrodynamic cavitation is predicted to give increased hot spot temperatures at bubble collapse and increased radical formation rate. Cavitation in a 100 x 100 mu m(2) rectangular micro channel and in a circular 750 mu m diameter milli channel has been investigated with computational fluid dynamics software and with imaging and radical production experiments. No radical production has been measured in the micro channel. This is probably because there is no spherically symmetrical collapse of the gas pockets in the channel which yield high hot spot temperatures. The potassium iodide oxidation yield in the presence of chlorohydrocarbons in the milli channel of up to 60 nM min(-1) is comparable to values reported on hydrodynamic cavitation in literature, but lower than values for ultrasonic cavitation. These small constrictions can create high apparent cavitation collapse frequencies.

Scission of a supramolecular polymer-metal complex can be carried out using collapsing cavitation bubbles created by ultrasound. Although the most plausible scission mechanism of the coordinative bonds is through mechanical force, the influence of radicals and high hot-spot temperatures on scission has to be considered. A silver(I)-N-heterocyclic carbene complex was exposed to 20 kHz ultrasound in argon, nitrogen, methane, and isobutane saturated toluene. Scission percentages were almost equal under argon, nitrogen, and methane. Radical production differs by a factor of 10 under these gases, indicating that radical production is not a significant contributor to the scission process. A model to describe the displacement of the bubble wall, strain rates, and temperature in the gas shows that critical strain rates for coil-to-stretch transition, needed for scission, are achieved at reactor temperatures of 298 K, an acoustic pressure of 1.2 x 10(5) Pa, and an acoustic frequency of 20 kHz. Lower scission percentages were measured under isobutane, which also shows lower strain rates in model simulations. The activation of the polymer-metal complexes in toluene under the influence of ultrasound occurs through mechanical force.

We simulate and discuss the local electric-field enhancement in a system of a dielectric nanoparticle placed very near to a metallic substrate. We use finite-element numerical simulations in order to understand the field-enhancement mechanism in this dielectric NP-on-mirror system. Under appropriate excitation conditions, the gap between the particle and the substrate becomes a "hot spot", i.e., a region of intense electromagnetic field. We also show how the optical properties of the dielectric NP placed on a metallic substrate affect the plasmonic field enhancement in the nanogap and characterize the confinement in the gap. Our study helps to understand and design systems with dielectric NPs on metallic substrates which can be equally as effective for SERS, fluorescence, and nonlinear phenomena as conventional all plasmonic structures.

Collimated transport of fast electron beam through solid density matter is one of the key issues behind the success of the fast ignition scheme by means of which the required amount of ignition energy can be delivered to the hot spot region of the compressed fuel. Here we report on a hot electron beam collimation scheme in solids by tactfully using the strong magnetic fields generated by an electrical resistivity gradient according to Faraday's law. This was accomplished by appropriately fabricating the targets in such a way that the electron beam is directed to flow in a metal which is embedded in a much lower resistivity and atomic number metal. Experimental results showed guided transport of hot electron beam over hundreds of microns length inside solid density plasma, which were obtained from two experiments examining the scheme for petawatt laser driven hot electron beam while employing various target configurations.

Die vorliegende Arbeit untersuchte die Einflüsse der Bodenart und Einarbeitungstiefe von Streu auf die mikrobielle Nutzung und ihren Abbau. Anhand einer Kohlenstoffsequestrierung wurde die Verlagerung streubürtigen Kohlenstoffes in die Fraktionen CO2-C, SOC, extrahierbaren Kohlenstoff, Cmik und POM-C betrachtet. Aufgrund der Analyse der δ13C-CO2 Werte der Bodenrespiration, im Rahmen der Sequestrierung des streubürtigen Kohlenstoffes, war der Anteil der streubürtigen Bodenrespiration und somit die gesamte, zu erwartende Bodenrespiration bekannt. Durch die, bei der Kohlenstoffsequestrierung, ermittelten Werte konnte eine Plausibilitätsprüfung an vier Methoden zur Erfassung der Bodenrespiration, auf ihre Genauigkeit und mögliche Artefakte hin, durchgeführt werden. Des Weiteren wurden in einem anschließenden Freilandversuch unter subtropischen Bedingungen die Einflüsse verschiedener Dünger und Feldfrüchte, in Abhängigkeit der Streuqualität, auf den Streuabbau und die mikrobielle Besiedelung hin untersucht. Im ersten Versuch (Kapitel 3), wurde anhand eines Säulenversuches der Einfluss der Einarbeitungstiefe, in Anhängigkeit der Bodenart, auf den Streuabbau untersucht. Dieses ist von großer Bedeutung, da auf landwirtschaftlich genutzten Flächen Streu und so genannte "Grüne Dünger" durch den Einsatz unterschiedlicher Bodenbearbeitungssysteme, wie z.B. der Kreiselegge oder dem Wendepflug, in unterschiedliche Tiefen eingearbeitet werden. Die Verlagerung streubürtigen mikrobiellen Kohlenstoffes per Pilzhyphen, über eine Distanz von bis zu 20 cm wurde innerhalb dieser Arbeit das erste Mal gezeigt. Bisherige Studien zeigten einzig einen Transport von streubürtigem Kohlenstoff per Pilzhyphen, über eine kurze Distanz von der Detritussphäre in den angrenzenden Boden. Der höhere Anteil streubürtigen mikrobiellen Kohlenstoffes innerhalb der von der Streuschicht weiter entfernten Schichten im sandigen Boden, im Vergleich zum lehmigen Boden zeigte, dass das feine Porenvolumen des lehmigen Bodens den Transport Streubürtigen Kohlenstoffes per Pilzhyphen grundsätzlich behindert. Diese Annahme wurde durch die stärkere Abnahme des Anteils streubürtigen mikrobiellen Kohlenstoffes, mit zunehmender Entfernung zur Streuschicht, im lehmigen Boden im Vergleich zum sandigen Boden unterstützt. Es ist davon auszugehen, dass der sandige Boden zusätzlich durch die höhere Porosität eine erhöhte Sauerstoffdurchlässigkeit und somit, in den tieferen Schichten bessere Wachstumsbedingungen für Mikroorganismen bietet als der lehmige Boden. Durch die Ausbreitung substratbürtigen mikrobiellen Kohlenstoffes wurde im sandigen Boden mehr streubürtiger Kohlenstoff durch Mikroorganismen inkorporiert als im lehmigen Boden. Ein weiterer Grund für die geringere Verlagerung von streubürtigem Kohlenstoff in die mikrobielle Biomasse des lehmigen Bodens ist wahrscheinlich der bessere physikalische Schutz durch den höheren Tonanteil. Durch die Einarbeitung der Streu stieg in allen Ansätzen der Gehalt an Ergosterol, welcher ein wesentlicher Indikator für die Präsenz saprotropher Pilze ist. Besonders stark ausgeprägt war der Anstieg des Ergosterolgehaltes, sowie des Ergosterol / mikrobielle Biomasse C – Quotienten, wenn Streu in die untere Schicht (15 - 20 cm) ein-gearbeitet wurde. Diese tiefenspezifischen Unterschiede wurden bisher in noch keinem weiteren Versuch beobachtet und können auf die Entwicklung unterschiedlicher pilzlicher Gemeinschaften zurück zu führen sein. Es ist jedoch wahrscheinlicher, dass pilzliche Nekromasse in den oberen Bodenschichten schneller umgesetzt wird und somit bei der Ergosterolbestimmung nicht mit erfasst wird. Da der Umsatz der pilzlichen Nekromasse im porösen sandigen Boden, aufgrund der höheren Sauerstoffverfügbarkeit und des geringeren physikalischen Schutzes, vermutlich höher ist als im lehmigen Boden, wird diese Annahme durch den im sandigen Boden geringeren Gehalt an mikrobiellen Kohlenstoff unterstützt. Wie erwartet, überstieg die Mineralisation der Streu im sandigen Boden die der im lehmigen Boden. Jedoch anders als erwartet, unterschied sich die Mineralisation in Abhängigkeit der Einarbeitungstiefe, mit einer erhöhten Mineralisation bei Einarbeitung der Streu in 0 - 5 cm Tiefe, einzig im sandigen Boden. Die Berechnung des Ertragskoeffizienten zeigte, dass die Substratsnutzungseffizienz der Mikroorganismen im sandigen Boden signifikant geringer war als die im lehmigen Boden. Die Zugabe von Streu führte in beiden Böden, verstärkt jedoch im lehmigen Boden, zu einem positiven Priming Effekt, der in beiden Bö-den stärker ausgeprägt war, als Streu in 0–5 cm Tiefe eingearbeitet wurde. Trotz Abnahme der SOC-bürtigen mikrobiellen Biomasse stieg die Mineralisation des SOC stark an. Es ist anzunehmen, dass extrazelluläre Enzyme wie Cellulase und Lignin modifizierende Enzy-me, produziert von saprotrophen Pilzen, zum Abbau von Cellolose und Lignin der Streu, zum Teil sehr effizient SOC abbauen. Im zweiten Versuch (Kapitel 4) wurde anhand des gleichen Säulenversuches (Versuch 1; Kapitel 3) der Einfluss der Entfernung von CO2-hot-spots im Boden zur Bodenoberfläche, in Abhängigkeit der Bodenart, auf vier verschiedene Methoden zur Erfassung der Bodenrespiration betrachtet. Zusätzlich wurde durch eine Plausibilitätsprüfung anhand der Kohlenstoffbilanz, basierend auf der in Versuch 1 durchgeführten Kohlenstoffsequestrierung, die Genauigkeit der vier Methoden in Abhängigkeit der Bodenart überprüft. Für beide Ansätze mit sandigem Boden zeigen IR und PAS eine deutliche Überschätzung der mit NaOH und GC bestimmten Bodenrespiration. Die Überschätzung durch IR ist dabei auf die durch die dynamische Haube verursachten Turbulenzen und deren Auswirkungen auf den porösen sandigen Boden zurück zu führen. Bei geringen Respirationsraten, wie bei der Kontrolle, zeigt die Messung mittels IR trotz Turbulenzen, verursacht durch den Ventilator der Haube, keine Überschätzung. Die Überschätzung durch PAS hingegen kann nicht auf Turbulenzen, verursacht durch die dynamische Haube, zurück geführt werden, da bei den Analysen mit PAS und GC identische Hauben, höher und größer als bei IR, eingesetzt wurden und die Bodenrespiration durch GC nicht überschätzt wurde. Im Gegensatz zu beiden sandigen Ansätzen überschätzt IR die Bodenrespiration im lehmigen Boden nicht. NaOH hingegen unterschätzt die Bodenrespiration, wenn Streu in 15-20 cm Tiefe des lehmigen Bodens eingearbeitet ist. Dieses ist dadurch zu erklären, dass, bedingt durch die geringere Porosität sowie das höhere Wasserhaltevermögen und dem daraus resultierenden geringeren Luft gefüllten Porenvolumen, die Diffusion von CO2 im lehmigen Boden langsamer ist als im sandigen Boden. Nach Absorption des CO2 der Haubenluft diffundiert das CO2 des CO2-hot-spots in 15-20 cm Tiefe, entlang des Diffusionsgradienten, aufgrund des Diffusionswiderstandes in lehmigen Boden langsamer zur Oberfläche als im sandigen Boden oder wenn der CO2-hot-spot direkt unter der Bodenoberfläche liegt. Da bei der Messung mit der dynamischen Haube diese nur kurz auf der Fläche verbleibt, beeinflusst der Diffusionsgradient diese Messungen nicht. Hinzukommt, dass bei den Messsystemen, die in Kombination mit der dynamischen Haube eingesetzt werden, im Gegensatz zur Absorption durch Lauge keine CO2 Abreicherung stattfindet und die Diffusion von CO2 aus dem Boden über lange Zeit bis zu hohen CO2 Konzentration in der Haube linear bleibt. Alle drei mit einer dynamischen Haube kombinierten Methoden zeigen mit Korrelations-koeffizienten zwischen 0,90 und 0,93 starke Korrelationen mit NaOH. Während PAS die Bodenrespiration im Verhältnis zu NaOH immer überschätzt, tritt eine Überschätzung durch GC nur bei Mineralisationsraten unter 500 mg m-2 h-1 und für IR bei Mineralisations-raten über 40 mg m-2 h-1 ein. Die Plausibilitätsprüfung zeigt, dass für sandigen Boden, mit NaOH und GC eine sehr exakte Wiederfindung von Kohlenstoff erreicht wird, wohingegen IR und PAS in der Wiederfindung von Kohlenstoff bei deutlich über 100 % liegen. Für den lehmigen Boden hingegen ist nach Entfernung der CO2-hot-spots zur Bodenoberfläche zu differenzieren. Befindet sich der CO2-hot-spot direkt unter der Bodenoberfläche ist die Wiederfindung von Kohlenstoff für NaOH, GC und IR sehr exakt. Befindet sich der CO2-hot-spot jedoch in 15-20 cm Tiefe, ist die Wiederfindung des Kohlenstoffes durch NaOH deutlich unter 100 %. Die Wiederfindung durch PAS liegt sowohl für den sandigen als auch für den lehmigen Boden immer deutlich über 100 %. Im dritten Versuch (Kapitel 5), wurde anhand eines Litterbag-Versuches im Norden des Omans, der Einfluss verschiedener Dünger und Feldfrüchte auf den Abbau von Streu auf landwirtschaftlich genutzten Flächen in Abhängigkeit der Streuqualität betrachtet. Bei dem Großteil bisheriger Streuabbauversuche, unter gemäßigten und subtropischen Klimaten, stand der Abbau von Streu im Wald im Fokus der Betrachtung. Die wenigen Versuche zum Streuabbau auf landwirtschaftlich genutzten Flächen beschränken sich auf die gemäßigten Klimate. Wohingegen der Abbau von Streu, sowie der Einfluss von Dünger und Feldfrucht unter subtropischen Bedingungen, zum ersten mal mit der vorliegenden Arbeit fokussiert wurde. Der Verlust an organischem Material war verglichen mit Versuchen un-ter gemäßigten Klimaten, bei allen vier Streuarten, generell hoch. Der höhere Abbau von Luzernen- und Maisstreu im Vergleich zu Raps- und Weizenstreu ist auf Unterschiede der Streuqualität zurückzuführen. Neben der Verwertbarkeit durch Mikroorganismen beeinflusst die Streuqualität zusätzlich die "Schmackhaftigkeit" der Streu für Organismen der Mesofauna. Wodurch ein selektiver Transport und/oder Grazing von Mikroorganismen stattfindet. Der geringere Abbau der Luzernenstreu verglichen mit Maisstreu jedoch ist nicht auf die Streuqualität sondern auf die geringere mikrobielle Besiedelung der Luzernenstreu während der Versuchszeit zurückzuführen. Der Unterschied im Grad der mikrobiellen Besiedelung kann durch die erhobenen Daten nicht erklärt werden. Es ist jedoch davon auszugehen, dass Leguminosen Substanzen wie z.B. Polyphenole enthalten, welche die mikrobielle Biomasse und im Besonderen die pilzliche Biomasse in beachtlichem Umfang inhibitieren. Ebenso wenig ist der höhere Abbau von Weizenstreu verglichen mit Rapsstreu durch die Streuqualität zu begründen. Eine mögliche Erklärung für den geringeren Abbau der Rapsstreu kann ihr hoher Aluminium Gehalt sein. Es ist jedoch wahrscheinlicher, dass die Rapsstreu organische Substanzen wie Glucosinolate enthält, welche den mikrobiellen Streuabbau inhibitieren. Während der Hemicellulosegehalt am Ende des Versuches nicht durch die Streuqualität beeinflusst war, zeigten Cellulose und Lignin quali-tätsabhängige Effekte. Der stärkere Abbau von Cellulose bei Luzernen- und Maisstreu ist auf den anfänglich höheren Stickstoffgehalt zurückzuführen, wodurch die Produktion und Aktivität von Cellulose degradierenden Enzymen, wie Exo-Cellulase, Endo-Cellulase und Xylanase, anstieg. Es ist davon auszugehen, dass die Differenzen im Celluloseabbau von Luzernen- und Maisstreu im Vergleich zu Raps- und Weizenstreu, neben Unterschieden im anfänglichen Stickstoffgehalt, auf den höheren Schutz von Cellulose durch Lignin in Raps- und Weizenstreu zurückzuführen sind. Während der initial geringe Stickstoffgehalt den Ligninabbau in Raps- und Weizenstreu unterstützt, ist die relative Anreicherung von Lignin in Luzernen- und Maisstreu hingegen auf den initial hohen Stickstoffgehalt zurückzuführen. Dem entgegen hat die Zusammensetzung weiterer Nährstoffe einen sehr geringen Effekt. Es ist jedoch möglich, dass stärkere Effekte durch den Eintrag von Boden in die Litterbags durch Organismen der Mesofauna, Wurzelwachstum oder physikalische Verlagerung überdeckt werden. Während unter organische Düngung, die pilzliche Biomasse ansteigt, fördert der leicht verfügbare Stickstoff der mineralischen Düngung die Bildung bakterieller Biomasse. Der höher Gehalt an pilzlicher Biomasse unter organischer Düngung zeigte keinen generellen Effekt auf den Abbau von Kohlenstoff. Er führte jedoch zu einer Veränderung in der Streuzusammensetzung. Die verringerte Abnahme bzw. verstärkte Zunahme der Nährstoffgehalte bei organischer Düngung ist durch den Eintrag dünger-bürtiger Nährstoffe, im Besonderen durch die verstärkte Bildung pilzlicher Hyphen in die Litterbags hinein, zu erklären. Trotz höherer Gehalte an pilzlicher Biomasse war der Ligningehalt am Ende des Versuches unter organischer Düngung höher als unter mineralischer Düngung. Diese ist auf den Eintrag düngerbürtiger Pilze zurückzuführen, welche eine geringere Lignindegradierungseffizienz aufweisen. Der Einfluss der Feldfrucht auf den Streuabbau äußert sich durch höhere Gehalte mikrobieller und im Besonderen pilzlicher Biomasse, und durch geringere Gehalte an N, P, Ca, Na und K in, im Litterbag verbleiben-der Streu, unter dem Anbau von Mohrrüben. Der Anstieg der pilzlichen Biomasse führt, ebenso wie bei der organischen Düngung zu keinem generellen Anstieg der Kohlenstoffdegradation, zeigt jedoch einen selektiven Effekt auf den Abbau von Cellulose. Der Einfluss, sowohl auf die mikrobielle Biomasse, als auch auf den Nährstoffgehalt, zeigt die Bedeutung der Unterschiede im Wurzelwachstum, der Rhizodeposition sowie des Nährstoffbedarfs in Abhängigkeit der Feldfrucht. Trotz großer Unterschiede der Streuarten im anfänglichen Gehalt mikrobieller Biomasse war dieser am Ende des Versuches für alle Streuarten identisch. Dieses war Folge eines starken Anstiegs der pilzlichen Biomasse bei Luzernen- und Maisstreu sowie einer Abnahme der pilzlichen Biomasse bei Raps- und Weizenstreu, welche zuvor noch nicht beobachtet wurde. Dieses macht den Einfluss der anfänglichen mikrobiellen Biomasse auf deren Entwicklung während des Streuabbauprozesses im Boden deutlich. Es ist anzunehmen, dass ein Teil der anfänglichen pilzlichen Biomasse der Raps- und Weizenstreu, welche sich unter gemäßigten Klimaten entwickelte, unter subtropischen Bedingungen nicht überlebensfähig war. Generell war der Streuabbau durch Pilze dominiert. Es zeigte sich jedoch, dass Unterschiede im Pflanzenmaterial einen Einfluss auf die bakterielle Biomasse hatten, Unterschiede in Düngung und Feldfrucht hingegen die pilzliche Biomasse und die bakterielle Biomasse beeinflussten.
Resumo:
A new heuristic for the Steiner Minimal Tree problem is presented here. The method described is based on the detection of particular sets of nodes in networks, the “Hot Spot” sets, which are used to obtain better approximations of the optimal solutions. An algorithm is also proposed which is capable of improving the solutions obtained by classical heuristics, by means of a stirring process of the nodes in solution trees. Classical heuristics and an enumerative method are used CIS comparison terms in the experimental analysis which demonstrates the goodness of the heuristic discussed in this paper.
