Encystment ofChattonella antiqua in laboratory cultures

Cysts ofChattonella antiqua (Raphidophyceae) were obtained in laboratory cultures for the first time. They were formed on the surface of glass coverslips added to both P- and N- depleted mediums. The yield was 50–250 cysts cm^–2. Crossing experiments showed the highest cyst production in mixed cultures, although cysts were observed in clonal cultures as well. Cysts had approximately double the DNA content of synchronously growing vegetative cells (G₁ phase). The encystment process was also monitored: Under P-depleted conditions, small cells were formed that fused to become a triangle-shaped cell which in turn changed into a cyst.These results strongly suggest that cysts are the products of fusion and are diploid. Small cells, triangle-shaped cells, and cysts are considered to be gametes, planozygotes, and hypnozygotes, respectively. Significant mortality was observed in laboratory cysts stored in the cold and dark for five months, although those remaining were capable of germination to reestablish a motile, vegetative population.  相似文献   

Dissociation of CAS phase in the uppermost lower mantle     

Kazufusa Ishibashi  Kei Hirose  Nagayoshi Sata  Yasuo Ohishi 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2008,35(4):197-200

The high-pressure stability limit of calcium aluminosilicate (CAS) phase has been examined in its end-member CaAl₄Si₂O₁₁ composition at 18–39 GPa and 1,670–2,300 K in a laser-heated diamond-anvil cell (LHDAC). The in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements revealed that the CAS phase decomposes into three-phase assemblage of cubic Al-bearing CaSiO₃ perovskite, Al₂O₃ corundum, and SiO₂ stishovite above 30 GPa and 2,000 K with a positive pressure–temperature slope. Present results have important implications for the subsolidus mineral assemblage of subducted sediment and the melting phase relation of basalt in the lower mantle.  相似文献

Characteristics of the response of isothermal atmospheres with nonlinear waves

Abstract

We have studied the behavior of nonlinear waves in isothermal atmospheres using an improved beam scheme method. It is shown that although the magnitude of the mass leakage due to side beams is significant, nevertheless in a motion close to hydrostatic equilibrium it can be suppressed, if special density distributions and/or suitable mesh intervals are selected. We adopt as the parameters for our model of the atmospheres M=1 M[odot], R=50 R[odot] and T=4864 K. The time variation of the physical quantities in each cell is found for several oscillation periods. The critical frequency for the model atmosphere in the case of waves with a weak nonlinearity seems to be consistent with that in the linear theory.  相似文献   

Temporal changes in electrical resistivity at Sakurajima volcano from continuous magnetotelluric observations     

Koki Aizawa  Wataru Kanda  Yasuo Ogawa  Masato Iguchi  Akihiko Yokoo  Hiroshi Yakiwara  Takayuki Sugano 《Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research》2011,199(1-2):165-175

Continuous magnetotelluric (MT) measurements were conducted from May 2008 to July 2009 at Sakurajima, one of the most active volcanoes in Japan. Two observation sites were established at locations 3.3 km east and 3 km west–northwest of the summit crater. At both observation sites, the high-quality component of the impedance tensor (Zyx) showed variations in apparent resistivity of approximately ± 20% and phase change of ± 2°, which continued for 20–180 days in the frequency range between 320 and 4 Hz. The start of the period of changes in apparent resistivity approximately coincided with the start of uplift in the direction of the summit crater, as observed by a tiltmeter, which is one of the most reliable pieces of equipment with which to detect magma intrusion beneath a volcano. A 2D inversion of MT impedance suggests that the resistivity change occurred at a depth around sea level. One of the possible implications of the present finding is that the degassed volatiles migrated not only vertically through the conduit but also laterally through a fracture network, mixing with shallow groundwater beneath sea level and thereby causing the observed resistivity change.  相似文献

Estimation of groundwater residence time using the 36Cl bomb pulse   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Tosaki Y  Tase N  Sasa K  Takahashi T  Nagashima Y 《Ground water》2011,49(6):891-902

We propose a methodology for estimating the residence time of groundwater based on bomb-produced (36)Cl. Water samples were collected from 28 springs and 2 flowing wells located around Mt. Fuji, Central Japan. (36)Cl/Cl ratios in the water samples, determined by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), were between 43 × 10(-15) and 412 × 10(-15). A reference time series of the above-background (i.e., bomb-derived) (36)Cl concentration was constructed by linearly scaling the background-corrected Dye-3 data according to the estimated total bomb-produced (36)Cl fallout in the Mt. Fuji area. Assuming piston flow transport, estimates of residence time were obtained by comparing the measured bomb-derived (36)Cl concentrations in spring water with the reference curve. The distribution of (36)Cl-based residence times is basically consistent with that of tritium-based estimates calculated from data presented in previous studies, although the estimated residence times differ between the two tracers. This discrepancy may reflect chlorine recycling via vegetation or the relatively small change in fallout rate, approximately since 1975, which would give rise to large uncertainties in (36)Cl-based estimates of recharge for the period, approximately since 1975. Given the estimated ages for groundwater from flowing wells, dating based on a (36)Cl bomb pulse may be more reliable and sensitive for groundwater recharged before 1975, back as far as the mid-1950s.  相似文献   

Pressure-induced structural evolution of pyrite-type SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>     

Yasuhiro Kuwayama  Kei Hirose  Nagayoshi Sata  Yasuo Ohishi 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2011,38(8):591-597

The equation of state and pressure-induced structural evolution of pyrite-type SiO₂ have been investigated based on synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements in a diamond-anvil cell. The Rietveld refinement revealed that the oxygen coordinate x of pyrite-type SiO₂ increases with increasing pressure. The SiO₆ coordination polyhedra of pyrite-type SiO₂ is less compressible than the unit cell, and the increase in x induces a rotation of the SiO₆ coordination polyhedra to fill the blank space in the unit cell. Thus, the volume reduction in pyrite-type SiO₂ is achieved mainly by the rotation of the SiO₆ polyhedra, rather than by the compression of the SiO₆ polyhedra. In addition, the increase in x with increasing pressure enhances a distortion of the coordination polyhedra of pyrite-type SiO₂, implying that pyrite-type SiO₂ is not likely to transform into a fluorite-type structure at higher pressures.  相似文献   

Sound velocities of Na0.4Mg0.6Al1.6Si0.4O4 NAL and CF phases to 73 GPa determined by Brillouin scattering method     

Lidong Dai  Yuki Kudo  Kei Hirose  Motohiko Murakami  Yuki Asahara  Haruka Ozawa  Yasuo Ohishi  Naohisa Hirao 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2013,40(3):195-201

The sound velocities of two aluminum-rich phases in the lower mantle, hexagonal new Al-rich phase (NAL) and its corresponding high-pressure polymorph orthorhombic Ca-ferrite-type phase (CF), were determined with the Brillouin scattering method in a pressure range from 9 to 73 GPa at room temperature. Both NAL and CF samples have identical chemical composition of Na_0.4Mg_0.6Al_1.6Si_0.4O₄ (40 % NaAlSiO₄–60 % MgAl₂O₄). Infrared laser annealing in the diamond anvil cell was performed to minimize the stress state of the sample and obtain the high-quality Brillouin spectra. The results show shear modulus at zero pressure G ₀ = 121.960 ± 0.087 GPa and its pressure derivative G’ = 1.961 ± 0.009 for the NAL phase, and G ₀ = 129.653 ± 0.059 GPa and G’ = 2.340 ± 0.004 for the CF phase. The zero-pressure shear velocities of the NAL and CF phases are obtained to be 5.601 ± 0.005 km/sec and 5.741 ± 0.001 km/sec, respectively. We also found that shear velocity increases by 2.5 % upon phase transition from NAL to CF at around 40 GPa.  相似文献   

Contributions of slab fluid and sediment melt components to magmatism in the Mariana Arc–Trough system: Evidence from geochemical compositions and Sr,Nd, and noble gas isotope systematics          下载免费PDF全文

Yasuo Ikeda  Keisuke Nagao  Teruaki Ishii  Daisuke Matsumoto  Robert J. Stern  Hiroo Kagami  Makoto Arima  Sherman H. Bloomer 《Island Arc》2016,25(4):253-273

This study presents new major and trace element, mineral, and Sr, Nd, and noble gas isotope geochemical analyses of basalts, gabbro, and clinopyroxenite from the Mariana Arc (Central Islands and Southern Seamount provinces) including the forearc, and the Mariana Trough (Central Graben and Spreading Ridge). Mantle source compositions beneath the Mariana Arc and the Mariana Trough indicate a mantle source that is depleted in high field strength elements relative to MORB (mid‐oceanic ridge basalt). Samples from the Mariana Arc, characterized by high ratios of Ba/Th, U/Th, ⁸⁴Kr/⁴He and ¹³²Xe/⁴He, are explained by addition of fluid from the subducted slab to the mantle wedge. Correlations of noble gas data, as well as large ion lithophile elements, indicate that heavy noble gases (Ar, Kr, and Xe) provide evidence for fluid fluxing into the mantle wedge. On the other hand, major elements and Sr, Nd, He, and Ne isotopic data of basalts from the Mariana Trough are geochemically indistinguishable from MORB. Correlations of ³He/⁴He and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar in the Mariana Trough samples are explained by mixing between MORB and atmosphere. One sample from the Central Graben indicates extreme enrichment in ²⁰Ne/²²Ne and ²¹Ne/²²Ne, suggesting incorporation of solar‐type Ne in the magma source. Excess ¹²⁹Xe is also observed in this sample suggesting primordial noble gases in the mantle source. The Mariana Trough basalts indicate that both fluid and sediment components contributed to the basalts, with slab‐derived fluids dominating beneath the Spreading Ridge, and that sediment melts, characterized by high La/Sm and relatively low U/Th and Zr/Nb, dominate in the source region of basalts from the Central Graben.  相似文献
