Organochlorine contaminants in sea turtles from the Eastern Pacific     

Gardner SC  Pier MD  Wesselman R  Juárez JA 《Marine pollution bulletin》2003,46(9):1082-1089

We measured organochlorine residues in three species of sea turtles from the Baja California peninsula, Mexico. Seventeen of 21 organochlorine pesticides analyzed were detected, with heptachlor epoxide and gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane the most prevalent (14 (40%) and 11 (31%) of the 35 tissue samples, respectively). PCBs were detected in all but one of the 9 turtles studied, with congener 18 the most commonly detected (8 (23%) of the samples). The dioxin-like congeners 118 and 180 were detected in 4 (11%) and 3 (9%) of the samples, respectively. Percent contribution of congeners was negatively correlated to their octanol-water partition coefficients, with kidney and muscle containing more lower-chlorinated congeners than liver or adipose samples. Levels of organochlorines detected in the present study were low, potentially attributable to the feeding habits of the predominant species collected in this study (herbivorous) and/or the samples obtained in an unindustrialized region.  相似文献   

Using GIS to Model Incidence, Prevalence and Spread of Non-legal Drug Use     

Ken Field  Linda Beale 《Transactions in GIS》2004,8(4):423-439

Current methods for estimating the incidence and prevalence of non‐legal drug use tend to be retrospective and are not capable of forecasting spatial characteristics. This paper details the development of a GIS model for forecasting and displaying spatio‐temporal trends in non‐legal drug use. It builds upon a current model that estimates levels of drug use, using GIS to develop and visualise the spatial dimension and to predict levels of use for unknown locations using radial basis functions with a thin spline interpolator. The model is calibrated against known data for the onset and spread of heroin use. Results of validation and cross validation of the interpolated surfaces give some confidence to the accuracy of the method. It provides a first stage in a process to develop more complex models that might be used to examine the introduction of new drug use practices, socio‐economic characteristics of different drug use habits, harm reduction measures or to further examine the role of space in the spread of drug use.  相似文献

西藏驱龙铜矿区及其外围找矿前景地球化学评价   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

西藏驱龙斑岩铜矿床的发现是近年我国地勘行业找铜工作的重大突破之一。在发现找矿线索、确定成矿类型和评价找矿前景的过程中,勘查地球化学起了举足轻重的作用。1∶20万区域化探异常圈定了Cu-Mo矿化的范围,异常追踪查证工作确定了Cu-Mo矿化类型和找矿的有利地段。通过测区系统的地球化学勘查工作,结合地质构造资料,认为驱龙地区存在典型的斑岩铜矿床地球化学异常模式,矿化体剥蚀程度很浅,是找寻以斑岩型Cu-Mo矿化为主的超大型铜钼矿床的良好远景区。  相似文献   

Intercomparison of Waterborne ²²²Rn Collection Methods: Professional Vs. Homeowner Collection     

R. William Field  Burton C. Kross 《Ground Water Monitoring & Remediation》1996,16(4):106-112

An intercomparison between trained professional and homeowner water collection techniques was conducted to assess the validity of using both inexperienced homeowner water collectors and mail-in return of point-of-use water samples. The findings indicate that homeowner-collected water samples obtained at the point of use inside the home and professionally collected water samples collected at an outside tap are comparable, especially if confounders, such as air bubbles in the sampling vials, are minimized.  相似文献   

Chemical beneficiation of zircon concentrates in Western Australia     

L.J. Brennan  R.V. Field  T.J. George  R.E. Marshall 《International Journal of Mineral Processing》1984,13(4):251-258

Western Australian zircons are typically brown-strained and inherently tinged with colour so that production of premium grade zircon has required special attention. The brown coating interferes with the separation of zircon from other minerals and adds to the level of impurities, particularly iron, in the product. Even when the stain is removed the zircon's pink-purple hue detracts from its market appeal. Two separate processes for the beneficiation of zircon to premium grade have been evaluated for three typical Western Australian zircon concentrates. One of the processes has been successfully implemented on a commercial scale.  相似文献   

柴达木盆地茫崖坳陷古近系—新近系R_o分布特征及地质意义

柴达木盆地西部的茫崖坳陷是青海油田的主力油气产区 ,对该区古近系—新近系镜质组反射率(Ro)进行了系统研究 ,发现其垂向分布有两种规律 :一是 Ro 与垂深有良好的线性关系 ,多分布在坳陷中央 ,反映了沉积环境、物源和构造的稳定性较好 ;二是 Ro 与垂深呈右阶状 ,反映了逆冲叠覆。此外 ,通过 EASY% Ro 方法计算了研究区地层剥蚀厚度 ,认为干柴沟—油泉子为英雄岭隆起的主轴 ,因为剥蚀了 36 0 0～ 375 0 m,所以英雄岭主峰在地形上呈现出隆起主轴的假貌。通过地层剥蚀厚度的研究 ,还发现油气田主要分布在剥蚀梯度带上。这一结论对柴达木盆地油气勘探开发具有重要意义  相似文献   

Recent advances in the geology of Koffiefontein Mine, Free State Province, South Africa     

P. Naidoo  J. Stiefenhofer  M. Field  R. Dobbe 《Lithos》2004,76(1-4):161-182

The complex internal geology of the Koffiefontein pipe has contributed to the marginal nature of the mine. The key to this is the presence of a large zone dominated by down-rafted country rock Karoo sediment and dolerite xenoliths. Recent work indicates that the kimberlite pipe at Koffiefontein consists of precursor dykes (the West and East Fissures), and the main pipe, in which two main eruptive phases have been recognized. Groundmass spinel compositions have been used to provide a chemical fingerprint of each lithology. There is evidence for at least three magma batches, each with its own chemical signature. Cross-cutting contact relationships were used to determine the emplacement sequence. The characterization of the different internal geological units permitted the development of a three-dimensional (3D) model of the pipe. Both main eruptive phases, viz., the Speckled west kimberlite and the Speckled east kimberlite comprise volcaniclastic kimberlite. They are separated by a large irregular mass of kimberlite that contains abundant country rock xenoliths comprising varying proportions of Karoo mudstone and dolerite, as well as probable bedded crater–facies fragments. This zone of contamination dilutes the grade of the kimberlites, affects the geotechnical stability and adversely affects the economics of the mine.  相似文献

前人研究认为 ,库车 194 9年 7 级地震主要与天山南麓活动构造带的NEE向秋立塔格断裂有关。最近笔者根据深地震地壳测深、石油地质及活断裂等研究的新成果 ,对这次地震的构造条件进行了较深入的分析。塔里木陆块向天山俯冲 ,天山上地壳被挤压块断隆升并侧向推覆扩展 ,于天山南缘形成库车盆地及由秋立塔格等一系列逆断裂组成的逆断 -褶皱系 ,这是发育于沉积盖层的薄皮构造。NE向库车 -依西 1井断裂是库车盆地构造中重要的传递断裂 ,位于NE向的乌鲁木齐 -库车 -柯坪构造带中。有关 7 级地震的地震学研究结果与秋立塔格断裂完全不符 ,而与库车 -依西 1井断裂基本一致  相似文献   

渤海湾盆地南堡凹陷新近系馆陶组沉积特征   总被引：5，自引：1，他引：5       下载免费PDF全文

南堡凹陷位于渤海湾盆地黄骅坳陷北部，新近系馆陶组是该凹陷的重要勘探层段。馆陶组以辫状河沉积为主，中段发育曲流河沉积。其油气勘探的首要问题是优质储集砂体的精确对比及有利盖层分布预测。根据高分辨率层序地层学理论以及录井和测井资料，对馆陶组的层序地层样式、沉积特征和储盖组合进行了分析。研究结果表明，该地层具有两种短期旋回和四个中期旋回。在两种短期旋回中，一种是低可容纳空间的非对称旋回，另一种是高可容纳空间的对称旋回。四个中期旋回中，两个以上升半旋回为主体(MSC1、MSC2)，一个是对称旋回(MSC3)，一个以下降半旋回为主体(MSC4)。短、中期旋回均以非对称旋回为主。该地层的长期基准面具有缓慢上升而后快速下降的特点。从MSC1到MSC4旋回，沉积相呈现出冲积扇-辫状河→辫状河-曲流河→曲流河-辫状河相组合的演化过程。自北向南，各中期旋回的可容纳空间增大，沉积主体由砾质河道渐变为砂质河道。由于受基准面中期旋回格架控制，南堡凹陷馆陶组发育上、中、下三套储盖组合。上部储盖组合，因其储、盖层条件最好，应是馆陶组最重要的油气勘探层系。  相似文献
