微量营养元素通常富集在表层土壤中,其含量随土层深度递减。尽管土壤中大多数微量元素的含量很高,但只有一小部分能被植物吸收。微量营养元素,也被称为痕迹元素,所需数量微小,但其缺乏会对农作物生产和动物健康造成严重影响。农作物对不同微量营养元素有着不同的反应。芸苔和豆类对Mo和B有较高的响应度,而玉米和其他谷类对Zn和Cu较为敏感。在温润和湿热地区,由于强降雨和强淋溶作用,微量营养元素缺乏较为普遍。土壤pH值是影响微量营养元素对植物有效性的重要因素之一。除Mo以外,微量营养元素的有效性随pH的增加而减小,Mo的有效性随pH的增加而增加。对于大多数植物来说,叶片中的微量营养元素含量高于植物的其他部分。因此,可以用叶片作为样品来测定农作物中微量营养元素的含量。大多数微量营养元素缺乏表现在植物顶部的新叶上,而过量则表现在老叶上。根据Deckers和Steinnes的结论,土壤较为贫瘠的发展中国家与土壤肥沃的欧洲及北美地区相比,微量营养元素缺乏现象较为普遍。许多营养元素缺乏区位于潮湿的热带地区,土壤极度贫瘠、高度风化和/或强淋溶,营养元素十分匮乏。此类其他土壤分部于半干旱及毗邻地区,这些地区的碱性和石灰性土壤条件严重限制了微量营养素对植物的供给。通常,可以满足草料作物生长的Cu、 Fe、Mn、 Zn 、Se含量水平,却不能满足家畜的需要。Se是植物生长所不需要的微量元素,因此草料作物中Se的含量很少。然而,如果动物所食农作物和草料中Se含量偏低,会造成严重的肌肉异常和其他疾病。白肌病是最常见的由于Se缺乏造成的疾病,在牛犊和羔羊中都有发现。本文讨论了与动物需求相关的农作物微量营养元素充足度。  相似文献   

Biostratigraphic Analysis of the Top Layer of Sediment Cores from the Reference and Test Sites of the INDEX Area     

Shyam M. Gupta 《Marine Georesources & Geotechnology》2000,18(3):259-262

Radiolarian fossil study in the sediment cores collected during the pre- and postdisturbance cruises of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Indian Ocean Experiment (INDEX) program of deep sea mining in the Central Indian Ocean Basin suggests a pronounced directional deposition of fossil radiolarians exhumed during the deep sea benthic disturbance experiment. The relative occurrences of the Stylatractus universus species that became extinct ~0.425 million years before present were mostly confined to the older and deeper strata of the sediment of the disturbance tract in the southwestern direction. This pattern is remarkable and suggests that the disturbance plume has been preferentially redeposited in the southwestern direction. This observation is in concurrence with the prevailing southwestern abyssal current during the disturbance experiment in the Central Indian Basin.  相似文献   

Porous and fluffy grains in the regions of anomalous extinction     

D. B. Vaidya  B. G. Anandarao  J. N. Desai  R. Gupta 《Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy》2000,21(1-2):91-99

It has long been established that the ratio of total to selective extinction is anomalously large (>- 5) in certain regions of the interstellar medium. In these regions of anomalous extinction the dust grains are likely to be irregular in shape and fluffy in structure. Using discrete dipole approximation (DDA) we calculate the extinction for porous and fluffy grains. We apply DDA first to solid spheroidal particles assumed to be made of a certain (large) number of dipoles. Then we systematically reduce the number of dipoles to model the porous grains. The aggregates of these particles are suggested to form the fluffy grains. We study the extinction for these particles as a function of grain size, porosity and wavelength. We apply these calculations to interpret the observed extincttion data in the regions of star formation (e.g. the Orion complex).  相似文献   

A new approximation for spectral velocity ordinates at short periods     

Vinay K. Gupta 《地震工程与结构动力学》2009,38(7):941-949

Response spectrum methods in earthquake‐resistant design sometimes require information on the spectral velocity (SV) for a given single‐degree‐of‐freedom oscillator and specified seismic hazard. SV has been conventionally approximated as pseudo spectral velocity (PSV) in the case of lightly damped structures that are not too flexible. This study shows that the PSV approximation may lead to large overestimation errors when the structure is stiffer to the ground motion and the ground motion is a long‐period motion. It is also shown that a new approximation requiring the use of peak ground acceleration of the motion may significantly reduce these errors. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

Interplanetary structures and solar wind behaviour during major geomagnetic perturbations     

Vivek Gupta 《Journal of Atmospheric and Solar》2009,71(8-9):885-896

We consider five different solar wind structures to study their relative geo-effectiveness in producing major geomagnetic perturbations. Geomagnetic indices and solar wind parameters during major storms have been utilized to understand the physical mechanism(s) during the passage of structures with distinct structural and dynamical properties. Attempt has been made to find distinct features of the structures responsible for large-intensity and/or long-duration geomagnetic storms. We search for precursors of major storms that may be useful for space-weather predictions. Average recovery characteristics of storms and the influence of solar wind speed on the recovery have been discussed.  相似文献   

Benthic foraminiferal assemblages of the South Brazil: Relationship to water masses and nutrient distributions     

P.P.B. Eichler  B.K. Sen Gupta  B.B. Eichler  E.S. Braga  E.J. Campos 《Continental Shelf Research》2008

Using distributions of benthic Foraminifera and bottom-water variables (depth, salinity, temperature, oxygen, suspended matter, organic matter, phosphate, silicate, nitrite, and nitrate), we investigated movements of water masses on the South Brazilian Shelf (27–30°S) and assessed the seasonality of continental runoff on the distribution of shelf water masses. The data were obtained from water and sediment samples collected in the austral winter of 2003 and austral summer of 2004 in three transects. The terrestrial nutrient input was significantly reduced at stations away from the coast, but high values of nutrients were maintained in subsurface waters due the presence of South Atlantic Central Water (SACW) at greater depths. At shallow sampling stations the influence of freshwater runoff was related to (1) the dominance of calcareous benthic Foraminifera, such as lagoon-related Pseudononion atlanticum, Hanzawaia boueana, Bulimina marginata, Bolivina striatula, Elphidium poeyanum, together with several agglutinated species, including Arenoparrella mexicana, Gaudryina exilis, and Trochammina spp., common in coastal environments subject to wide salinity fluctuations. In contrast, smaller forms and higher species diversity characterized the assemblage at offshore stations. In winter, the presence of Buccella peruviana and Uvigerina peregrina at Santa Marta Cape suggest the possible transport of those species of Subantarctic Shelf Waters (SASW) origin. Foraminifera associated to Subtropical Shelf Water (STSW) were dominated by Globocassidulina subglobosa in both seasons. In summer, the occurrence of U. peregrina in the shallower stations suggested the influence of SACW nutrients brought up by upwelling of deeper waters.  相似文献   

Water resource accounting for an iron-ore mining area in India     

S. K. Chaulya  M. K. Chakraborty  M. Ahmad  K. K. K. Singh  R. S. Singh  B. K. Tewary  P. K. Gupta 《Environmental Geology》2000,39(10):1155-1162

A study has been conducted at the Bicholim iron-ore mine, North Goa, India to investigate the hydrogeological continuity between the mine's open pit and surrounding villages. Water resource accounting by demarcating different watersheds has also been carried out to analyse the major causes of groundwater scarcity in the region during dry periods. A resistivity survey and a ground penetrating radar survey were completed around the periphery of open pits, the surrounding village areas and Mayem Lake. The results of the two independent surveys and other related data confirm that there is no observable hydrogeological continuity between the pits, nearby villages and Mayem Lake. Hence, there may not be any significant effect on surrounding water resources due to mining or mine dewatering. Water resource accounting has revealed that only 15–20% of 3500 mm precipitation per annum becomes part of the groundwater resource. The remainder of the annual precipitation is lost as heavy runoff, evapotranspiration and subsurface capillary moisture. Closely spaced wells in the region have also aggravated the groundwater scarcity problem due to draw down effects. Therefore, an effective water resource conservation plan is required for the region to overcome the problem. Received: 18 January 1999 · Accepted: 17 May 1999  相似文献   

Mass transport modelling to assess contamination of a water supply well in Sabarmati river bed aquifer, Ahmedabad City, India     

V. V. S. Gurunadha Rao  S. K. Gupta 《Environmental Geology》2000,39(8):893-900

 Drinking water supply wells were constructed in the Sabarmati river bed aquifer of Ahmedabad city using radial pipes and are known as French Collector wells. Contamination of groundwater from one of the French wells near Sabarmati railway bridge was noticed in 1992. The suspected pollution sources are Duff-nala of Shahibaug and two other sources from slum dwellings on either side of Sabarmati river. A combined groundwater flow, pathlines and a mass transport model was constructed covering an area of 9 km² to analyse the capture zone of the French well under two different scenarios. Aquifer parameters of the river bed aquifer were available. Dry river bed condition was simulated under scenario I and controlled flow in the river bed was simulated under scenario II. The groundwater velocity and migration of contaminant particles from sources was analysed in the pathline model. Total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration contours originating from sources in the mass transport model (MT3D) were computed by solving an advection-dispersion equation. The computed pathlines and TDS concentration contours indicate likely migration of contaminant plume from pollutant sources to the French well during 365 days under two scenarios. The model results confirm the tracer injection studies carried out to know the likely migration of contaminants towards the French well. The modelling study emphasised the necessity of controlled release of surface water in Sabarmati river bed from Dharoi reservoir throughout the year.

On most general exact solution for Vaidya-Tikekar isentropicsuperdense star     

Y.K. Gupta  M.K. Jasim 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2000,272(4):403-415

The energy density of Vaidya-Tikekar isentropic superdense star is found to be decreasing away from the center, only if the parameter K is negative. The most general exact solution for the star is derived for all negative values of K in terms of circular and inverse circular functions. Which can further be expressed in terms of algebraic functions for K = 2-(n/δ)² < 0 (n being integer andδ = 1,2,3 4). The energy conditions 0 ≤ p ≤ αρc ², (α = 1 or 1/3) and adiabatic sound speed conditiondp dρ ≤ c ², when applied at the center and at the boundary, restricted the parameters K and α such that .18 < −K −2287 and.004 ≤ α ≤ .86. The maximum mass of the star satisfying the strong energy condition (SEC), (α = 1/3) is found to be3.82 Mq_· at K=−2/3, while the same for the weak energy condition (WEC), (α =1) is 4.57 M_ _⊙ atK=−>5/2. In each case the surface density is assumed to be 2 × 10¹⁴ gm cm^-3. The solutions corresponding to K>0 (in fact K>1) are also made meaningful by considering the hypersurfaces t= constant as 3-hyperboloid by replacing the parameter R ² by −R² in Vaidya-Tikekar formalism. The solutions for the later case are also expressible in terms of algebraic functions for K=2-(n/δ² > 1 (n being integer or zero and δ =1,2,3 4). The cases for which 0 < K < 1 do not possess negative energy density gradient and therefore are incapable of representing any physically plausible star model. In totality the article provides all the physically plausible exact solutions for the Buchdahl static perfect fluid spheres.
