(Table 3) Sulfur and oxygen isotopic composition of cold water soluble sulfate, and strontium content and isotopic composition of upper Miocene evaporite samples recovered from DSDP Site 23-227

The origin of three Red Sea submarine brine pools was investigated by analysis of the S and O isotope ratios of dissolved sulfate and Sr isotope ratios of dissolved Sr in the brines. Sulfur and O isotope ratios of sulfate and Sr isotope ratios of evaporitic source rocks for the brines were measured for comparison. The S, O and Sr isotope ratios of evaporites recovered from DSDP site 227 are consistent with an upper Miocene evaporites age. The Valdivia Deep brine formed by karstic dissolution of Miocene evaporites by overlying seawater and shows no signs of hydrothermal input. The Suakin Deep brines are derived from, or have isotopically exchanged with Miocene or older evaporites. There has been only minor dilution of the brine by overlying seawater. Strontium isotope ratios of Suakin brine may indicate addition of a minor (15%) amount of volcanic Sr to the brine, but there is no evidence of high temperature brine-rock interaction. The sulfate in the Atlantis II brine was apparently derived from seawater. The O isotope ratio of sulfate in the present Atlantis II brine could reflect isotopic exchange between seawater sulfate and the brine at approximately 255°C. Approximately 30% of the Sr in the Atlantis II brine is derived from the underlying basalt, probably by hydrothermal leaching. Atlantis II brine is the only known example from the Red Sea which has a significant high-temperature hydrothermal history.

昆明山海棠对中国仓鼠V_(79)细胞二酰基甘油含量的影响

研究以昆明山海棠根部水抽提物(Tripterygium hypoglaucum (Level) Hutch,THH)处理中国仓鼠V_(79)细胞,通过检测V_(79)细胞C-M细胞频率以及二酰基甘油(1,2-diacylgcerol,DAG)的含量测定,分析了THH诱发非整倍体与细胞醇磷酯信号通路的关系。结果指出:THH能在1mg/ml、2mg/ml两个剂量上使V_(79)细胞的DAG含量显著升高(P<0.001),并明显的提高C-M细胞频率(P<0.05),提示肌醇酯信号通路是介导THH诱发非整倍体的途径之一。

Geochemistry of evaporite in the Red Sea

One of the major shipboard findings during Leg 23 drilling in the Red Sea was the presence of late Miocene evaporites at Sites 225, 227, and 228. The top of the evaporite sequence correlates with a strong reflector (Reflector S) which has been mapped over much of the Red Sea (Ross et al., 1969, Phillips and Ross, 1970). This indicates that the Red Sea appears to be extent. Miocene sediments, including evaporites, are known from a few outcrops along the coastal plains of the Gulf of Suez to lat 14°N (Sadek, 1959, cited in Friedman, 1972; Heybroek, 1965; Friedman, 1972). Along the length of the Red Sea, the presence of Miocene salt is indicated by seismic reflection studies (Lowell and Genik, 1972) and confirmed by drilling. The recently published data from deep exploratory wells (Ahmed, 1972) demonstrate the great thickness of elastics and evaporites which were deposited in the Red Sea depression during Miocene time. The Red Sea evaporites are of the same age as the evaporites found by deep sea drilling (DSDP Leg 13) in the Mediterranean Sea. Therefore, Reflector S in the Red Sea is comparable to Reflector M in the Mediterranean. It is assumed that during Miocene time a connection between these two basins was established (Coleman, this volume) resulting in a similar origin for the evaporites deposited in the Red Sea and in the Mediterranean Sea. The origin of the Mediterranean evaporites has been discussed in great detail (Hsü et al., 1973; Nesteroff, 1973; Friedman, 1973). The formation of evaporites may be interpreted by three different hypotheses. 1) Evaporation of a shallow restricted shelf sea or lagoon which receives inflows from the open ocean. 2) Evaporation of a deep-water basin which is separated from the open ocean by a shallow sill (Schmalz, 1969). 3) Evaporation of playas or salt lakes which are situated in desiccated deep basins isolated from the open ocean (Hsü et al., 1973). The purpose of this study is to show whether one of these models might apply to the formation and deposition of the Red Sea evaporites. Therefore, a detailed petrographic and geochemical investigation was carried out.

Vislumbrando brotes verdes: a propósito de 15 viviendas sociales junto al silo de Albacete

Ante la constatación de los cambios que la sociedad española ha experimentado en los últimos cuarenta años y que tienen en el concepto de la familia un reflejo de primer orden, el artículo plantea la relación entre las maneras de vivir (modos de habitar) y las viviendas, muy presente en el debate arquitectónico. Las casas son nuestro mundo, el que construimos, donde se revela tanto nuestra forma de ser como nuestra forma de entender, de estar y de actuar en el mundo. Para ilustrar esas relaciones, se efectúa un breve repaso por algunos de sus hitos: la Villa Rotonda, el Hôtel Tassel y la doble vivienda de Le Corbusier en la Weissenhofsiedlungen, que nos conduce hasta el estudio de un caso, el de un bloque aislado de 15 viviendas sociales junto al silo de Albacete, obra de la arquitecta Rosana Pérez González.
