Metabolites in bile of fish from São Sebastião Channel, São Paulo, Brazil as biomarkers of exposure to petrogenic polycyclic aromatic compounds     

da Silva DA  Buzitis J  Krahn MM  Bícego MC  Pires-Vanin AM 《Marine pollution bulletin》2006,52(2):175-183

This study reports the analysis of polycyclic aromatic compound (PAC) metabolites, as biomarkers of exposure to PACs in marine environment. PAC metabolites were measured in bile samples from 14 species of demersal fish caught in the São Sebastião Channel (SSC), SE Brazilian coastline. Naphthalene (NPH) equivalents, phenanthrene (PHN) equivalents, and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) equivalents were quantified using a reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with fluorescence detection method. For all samples, the means (±standard deviation, n = 37) of concentrations obtained for NPH, PHN, and BaP equivalents were, respectively, 290,000 ± 200,000 ng/g, 18,000 ± 14,000 ng/g, and 970 ± 1900 ng/g. These results indicate recent exposure of these fish to PACs in their environment. In addition, two species (Cyclichthys spinosus and Prionotus nudigula) of fish were analyzed in order to investigate local sources of PAC contamination in the SSC and the influence of the petroleum terminal in fish caught in remote areas. The results showed that these fish species potentially migrate along the channel, especially P. nudigula. Correlations among groups of PAC metabolites indicate the same petrogenic source for NPH and PHN equivalents and a combustion source (e.g., automobile, ships) for BaP equivalents. The ratio BaP/PHN equivalents (0.05 ± 0.07, n = 37) confirms the predominance of petrogenic PACs for contamination by these chemicals in this region.  相似文献   

Bytran - |- spectral calculations for portable devices using the HITRAN database     

Denis Pliutau  Konstantin Roslyakov 《Earth Science Informatics》2017,10(3):395-404

We describe a user-friendly open-source cross-platform radiative transfer application called bytran targeting mobile devices we developed using Qt/C ++ for the calculation of molecular and atmospheric absorption of gases under user-defined meteorological conditions and for specified gas mixture concentrations. Bytran is based in part on the HITRAN Application Programming Interface (HAPI) source code and relies on data provided in the online version of the High-Resolution Transmission Molecular Absorption Database (HITRAN) for line-by-line calculations. The novelty of the implementation is the usage of the recently introduced HITRANonline database (HITRAN.org), native execution of the line-by-line calculations on portable electronics hardware, and the cross-platform open-source implementation which also allows compilation of the bytran source code for desktop operating systems and embedded development boards. The application has the potential of becoming useful for in-the-field scientific evaluations as well as an educational tool for students studying spectroscopy and related subjects. Additional availability of the application under desktop environments further expands the possible usability of the developed software for in-the-lab settings. Ongoing work includes optional usage of pressure, temperature and humidity sensors available in selected cell phone models and the Raspberry Pi Sense Hat add-on board to generate spectra based on detected ambient meteorological conditions.  相似文献   

Length of the day and evolution of the Earth's core in the geological past     

C. Denis  K.R. Rybicki  A.A. Schreider  S. Tomecka‐Sucho&#x;  P. Varga 《Astronomische Nachrichten》2011,332(1):24-35

In this paper, we study quantitatively the effect of the Earth's core formation on the secular rate of change of the length of day (LOD). We find that for the present epoch, a growth rate of the core comprised between 1 and 10 mm/cy seems to be a plausible guess, leading to a relative de crease of LOD comprised roughly between 10 and 100 μs/cy. Such values do not affect significantly the observed secular in crease of LOD caused by tidal braking, which amounts to about 1.79 ms/cy. However, in the remote geological past, before the Phanerozoic, the effects of core growth may have been much more important, because the total change of LOD associated with core formation has been estimated by Birch in 1965 to be 2.4 hours for an initially undifferentiated cold Earth, and 3.1 hours for an initially undifferentiated hot Earth. We consider a number of scenarios, some of them corresponding to very early and/or very fast core formation, others corresponding to slow and/or late core formation. We show that palaeo‐LOD measurements seem to favour slow core formation during the Proterozoic, contrarily to the now largely prevailing hypothesis based on geochemical arguments that the iron core formed very early in the Earth's history and during a geologically short time interval (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Trace-element heterogeneity in rutile linked to dislocation structures: Implications for Zr-in-rutile geothermometry     

Rick Verberne  Hugo W. van Schrojenstein Lantman  Steven M. Reddy  Matteo Alvaro  David Wallis  Denis Fougerouse  Antonio Langone  David W. Saxey  William D. A. Rickard 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》2023,41(1):3-24

The trace-element composition of rutile is commonly used to constrain P–T–t conditions for a wide range of metamorphic systems. However, recent studies have demonstrated the redistribution of trace elements in rutile via high-diffusivity pathways and dislocation-impurity associations related to the formation and evolution of microstructures. Here, we investigate trace-element migration in low-angle boundaries formed by dislocation creep in rutile within an omphacite vein of the Lago di Cignana unit (Western Alps, Italy). Zr-in-rutile thermometry and inclusions of quartz in rutile and of coesite in omphacite constrain the conditions of rutile deformation to around the prograde boundary from high pressure to ultra-high pressure (~2.7 GPa) at temperatures of 500–565°C. Crystal-plastic deformation of a large rutile grain results in low-angle boundaries that generate a total misorientation of ~25°. Dislocations constituting one of these low-angle boundaries are enriched in common and uncommon trace elements, including Fe and Ca, providing evidence for the diffusion and trapping of trace elements along the dislocation cores. The role of dislocation microstructures as fast-diffusion pathways must be evaluated when applying high-resolution analytical procedures as compositional disturbances might lead to erroneous interpretations for Ca and Fe. In contrast, our results indicate a trapping mechanism for Zr.  相似文献
