Inter-annual variations of phytoplankton abundance and community organization were observed over a two-decade period along with the ancillary parameters at the land–ocean boundary associated with the Sundarban mangrove forest (21°32′ and 22°40′ N and 88°05′ and 89° E), along the NE Coast of the Bay of Bengal. The number of definable Bacillariophyceae species exceeded Dinophyceae taxa, and the total number of bloom-forming species declined from a maximum of ten in 2000 and a minimum of two in 2007. Blooms of the diatom Coscinodiscus radiatus were common in 2000 and 2007. Tide cycles and the onset of the monsoon season played important roles in diurnal and seasonal variability of phytoplankton. Phytoplankton biovolume showed seasonality, with the highest levels during post-monsoon periods and lowest levels during the monsoon period. Phytoplankton abundance was correlated to rainfall patterns, which may be altered by long-term changes in climate. 相似文献

New osmium (Os) isotope and platinum group element (PGE) concentration data are used in conjunction with published 3He and Th isotope data to determine the relative proportions of lithogenic, extraterrestrial and hydrogenous iridium (Ir) in a Pacific pelagic carbonate sequence from the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 806 on the Ontong Java Plateau (OJP). These calculations demonstrate that lithogenic and extraterrestrial contributions to sedimentary Ir budget are minor, while hydrogenous Ir accounts for roughly 85% of the total Ir. Application of analogous partitioning calculations to previously reported data from a North Pacific red clay sequence (LL44-GPC3) yields very similar results. Total Ir burial fluxes at Site 806 and LL44-GPC3 are also similar, 45 and 30 pg cm−2 kyr−1, respectively. Average Ir/3He and Ir/xs230Thinitial ratios calculated from the entire Site 806 data set are similar to those reported earlier for Pacific sites. In general, down-core profiles of Ir, 3He and xs230Thinitial, are not well correlated with one another. However, all three data sets show similar variance and yield sediment mass accumulation rate estimates that agree within a factor of two. While these results indicate that Ir concentration has potential as a point-paleoflux tracer in pelagic carbonates, Ir-based paleoflux estimates are likely subject to uncertainties that are similar to those associated with Co-based paleoflux estimates. Consequently, local calibration of Ir flux in space and time will be required to fully assess the potential of Ir as a point paleoflux tracer. Measured 187Os/188Os of the OJP sediments are systematically lower than the inferred 187Os/188Os of contemporaneous seawater and a clear glacial-interglacial 187Os/188Os variation is lacking. Mixing calculations suggest Os contributions from lithogenic sources are insufficient to explain the observed 187Os/188Os variations. The difference between the 187Os/188Os of bulk sediment and that of seawater is interpreted in terms of subtle contributions of unradiogenic Os carried by particulate extraterrestrial material. Down-core variations of 187Os/188Os with Pt/Ir and Os/Ir also point to contributions from extraterrestrial particles. Mixing calculations for each set of several triplicate analyses suggest that the unradiogenic Os end member cannot be characterized by primary extraterrestrial particles of chondritic composition. It is noteworthy that in efforts aimed at determining the effect of extraterrestrial contributions, 187Os/188Os of pelagic carbonates has greater potential compared to abundances of PGE. An attempt has been made for the first time to estimate sediment mass accumulation rates based on amount of extraterrestrial Os in the OJP samples and previously reported extraterrestrial Os flux. Throughout most of the OJP record, Os isotope-based paleoflux estimates are within a factor of two of those derived using other constant flux tracers. Meaningful flux estimates cannot be made during glacial maxima because the OJP sediments do not record the low 187Os/188Os reported previously. We speculate that this discrepancy may be related to focusing of extraterrestrial particles at the OJP, as has been suggested to explain down-core 3He variations. 相似文献

Water samples from the Yamuna and its tributaries, one of the major river systems draining the Himalaya, have been analysed for their stable oxygen and hydrogen isotopes during three seasons (summer, monsoon and post‐monsoon). The data show clear seasonal and altitudinal variations; waters from higher altitudes and those collected during monsoon season are characterized by relatively depleted isotopic composition. Regression analysis of δD–δ18O data of samples collected during summer and monsoon seasons shows that the slope of the best‐fit lines are nearly identical to those of precipitation at New Delhi for the same period. The similarity in their slopes suggests that the isotopic composition of precipitation contributing water to these rivers are reasonably well preserved in both monsoon and non‐monsoon seasons, however, during the non‐monsoon period both rainfall and river waters carry signatures of evaporation. The ‘deuterium excess’ in river waters during the three seasons though overlap with each other, the values during October are higher. This can be understood in terms of recycled moisture contributions to precipitation. The ‘altitude effect’ for δ18O in these waters is determined to be 0·11‰ per 100 m, a factor of about two less than that reported for the Ganga source waters from similar altitudinal range. The variability in altitude effects in rivers draining the Himalaya seems to be controlled by the ‘amount effect’ associated with the monsoon. The significant spatial variability in altitude effect in these river basins, which are a few hundred kilometers apart, suggests that reconstruction of palaeoelevation in the Himalaya, based on δ18O‐altitude gradients, would depend critically on its proper assessment in the region. This study has established a relationship between total cation abundance and δ18O in waters of the Yamuna mainstream; total cations (corrected for cyclic components) double for a 1·4 km decrease in altitude as the Yamuna flows downstream.

In this talk I outline some of the arguments in support of a cosmological and primordial origin of the observed microwave
background radiation (MBR) in the early hot phase of the universe. This interpretation of the MBR is at the heart of the hot
Big Bang model (HBBM) of the universe. The observed Planckian energy distribution of the microwave photons reflects the thermal
equilibrium that can be set up naturally within HBBM in the dense early universe. Alternate interpretations face the challenge
of extremely tight constraints on deviations from a Planckian distribution. Within HBBM, the formation of large scale structure
is linked to tiny anisotropies in the angular distribution of the MBR photons. Recent measurements of these anisotropies seem
to be broadly consistent with the predictions of the current scenarios of structure formation in the universe. Since these
predictions are based on HBBM, the concurrence of data with theory provides additional support in favour of viewing the MBR
as the relic of Big Bang. 相似文献

Increased hazard of arsenic toxicity at many provinces of India causing extensive contamination of their wetlands. To illustrate the consequences of the arsenic menace on the aquatic fauna, a nutritionally important freshwater catfish Clarias batrachus (Linn.) was subjected to the stress of sublethal concentration (1 mg/L; 5% of 96‐h LC50 value) of sodium meta‐arsenite. The alterations induced by the arsenic salt on certain biomolecules (proteins, free amino acids (FAA), and protease activities) in five tissue components (muscle, liver, brain skin, and gills) of the fish using biochemical techniques were estimated. Significant (p < 0.01) decrease in the concentration of proteins in all the tissues (19.74–44.84% in muscles; 3.17–49.39% in liver; 10.05–36.16% in brain; 12.62–52.01% in skin and 7.34–61.69% in gills), and significant (p < 0.01) increase in FAA (6.84–269.89% in muscles; 125.89–358.03% in liver; 1.07–152.90% in brain; 29.31–401.62% in skin and 38.53–165.07% in gills), and protease activities (43.59–183.33% in muscles; 19.52–131.90% in liver; 8.85–46.72% in brain; 33.33–261.53% in skin and 25.39–50.79% in gills) of the exposed fish were observed. This increase in amino acids and enzyme activity point out toward breakdown of protein leading to their depletion. 相似文献

A 204 m high solid concrete gravity dam is proposed across the River Yamuna in Garhwal Himalaya, India. It will be located on dolerite rocks which have been intruded into the slates of Chandpur Formation. The present study includes the evaluation of the dam foundation by means of drifts, drill holes, water pressure tests and abutment slope stability studies. The water pressure test indicate the necessity of providing a grout curtain below the dam foundation. The analysis of the dam abutments for stability using the Limit equilibrium method indicates that the right abutment slope is kinematically unstable for plane failure mode. The plane failure analysis of the right abutment slope was carried out by modifying the Hoek and Bray (1981, Rock Slope Engineering, 3rd ed., Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, London) technique of plane failure analysis. The analysis reveals that right abutment slope may become unstable during the stripping operation. Based upon the analysis a safe cut slope design for the abutments have been suggested. Subsurface exploration by means of cross drift and drill holes has indicated a sheared contact of slate and dolerite in the foundation area. To avoid the settlement of the dam along this shear zone precautionary measures are suggested. 相似文献

This study presents a method to identify potential sites for soil and water conservation techniques for the demarcation of suitable sites for artificial recharge of groundwater aquifers, in the study area. The run-off derived by the Soil Conservation Service Curve Number method is a function of run-off potential which can be expressed in terms of run-off coefficient. The augmentation of water resource is proposed by the construction of rainwater harvesting structures like check dam, percolation pond, farm pond and gully check dam. The site suitability for different water harvesting structures is determined by considering spatially varying parameters like slope, infiltration, run-off potential, landuse/land cover, stream order, soil texture, land capability class, hydrological soil group and micro-watershed area. The determined suitable site has been validated with existing recharge structures of the study area. Accuracy assessment of the suitable sites for recharge structures potential maps of the Bindra watershed is 82.60%. 相似文献
