The loess sequence preserved in the Požarevac brickyard in north-eastern Serbia comprises eight loess units separated by seven paleosols. Geochronological investigation using amino acid racemization and luminescence dating support stratigraphic correlations of loess units L3, S2LL1 and L1 at the Požarevac section with loess of glacial cycles E [Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 10], D (MIS 9–8), C (MIS 7–6) and B (MIS 5–2) across central Europe. Correlation with the marine oxygen-isotope stratigraphy and associated paleoclimatic inferences are further supported by magnetic susceptibility, particle size and carbonate content measured in Požarevac sediments. Malacological investigations at the Požarevac section reveal the continuous presence of the Chondrula tridens and Helicopsis striata faunal assemblages throughout the last 350 ka. The loess malacological fauna, which is characterized by the complete absence of cold-resistant and cold-preferring species, suggests a stable, dry and relatively warm glacial and interglacial climate, compared with other central European loess localities. Together these data suggest that the south-eastern part of the Carpathian (Pannonian, Middle Danube) Basin was a refugium for warm-preferring and xerophilous land-snails during the generally unfavorable glacial climates of the late Middle and Late Pleistocene.  相似文献   

Climatic variations in the coastal zone — Comparison between the Po River delta (Adriatic Sea,Italy) and the Huanghe River delta (Bohai Sea,China)     

Francesco Marabini  Antonio Veggiani  Qin Yunshan  Cang Shuxi 《中国海洋湖沼学报》1993,11(3):193-206

The aim of this work is to research the influence of natural climatic changes on the evolution of the coastal zone in modern times and the possible implication of human activities on the configuration of the present coastline. Comparison of data of two very far and different areas, the Po River delta, Adriatic Sea and the Huanghe River delta, Bohai Sea, reveals the planetary diffusion of climatic fluctuations and their effects on coastal evolution.

PROSPECTING FOR THE HIDDEN ACTIVE FAULT BY MEASURING THE 218p0 AND 210p0          下载免费PDF全文

Zhang Yusong Hu Yutai Li Jianhua 《地震地质》1992,14(1):17

A method of prospecting for the concealed active fault by simultaneous measuring both 218Po and 210Po is introduced.It is a radioactive prospecting.The concentration of radon near the fault can be determined from the activities of its daughters 218Po and 210Po.At the fault,there is a good passage for gases,and the radioative gas from crustal depths can be easy to get to the surface.As a result,the level of the radioactivity there is quite high,but low at both sides far from there.The  相似文献   

Polymorphic Zooids in Deitaic Species Populations of Conopeum seurati (CANU, 1928) (Bryozoa, Cheilostomata)     

Angelo  Poluzzi Bruno  Sabelli 《Marine Ecology》1985,6(3):265-284

Abstract. Deltaic populations of Conopeum seurati from diverse environmental settings have variable phenotypes related to strong competitive regimes and to dissolved oxygen minima. Under extremely stressful conditions, the poorly canalized phenotype of C. seurati displays new additional features such as kleistozooids ( kleistós = closed) and chaotic celleporoid layers. Kleistozooids are clearly distinguishable polymorphs characterized by the presence of a compact, imperforate frontal membrane and by a strongly reduced lumen of the "opesium". They commonly aggregate in clusters of regularly-arranged individuals that store a large quantity of proteic material. The inferred function of these cell-like structures is to supply nutrients for basic colony activities. Celleporoid layers are, possibly, a developmental relaxation of the colony of C. seurati for a more efficient use of space in competitive interactions.
Both celleporoid layers and kleistozooids reveal the magnitude of intracolony variability of a widespread opportunistic bryozoan species.  相似文献   

Long-range forecasts of River Po discharges based on predictable solar activity and a fuzzy neural network model / Prévisions à long terme des débits du Fleuve Pô basées sur l’activité solaire prévisible et sur un modèle de réseau de neurones flou     

《水文科学杂志》2013,58(4)

Abstract

Abstract Is it possible to make seasonal and interannual forecasts of hydrological variables if one cannot predict next week’s rainfall? Contrary to common view, some scientists support the hypothesis that variations in mean global temperature and precipitation are controlled more by external forcing (solar variability and volcanic eruptions) than by increasing atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases. Temperature and precipitation are connected with special phases of the 11-year sunspot cycle, which coincide with significant accumulation of energetic solar eruptions. Because of the possibility of identifying years with many solar eruptions, the attractive prospect emerges of the long-term hydrological forecasting based on cycles of solar activity. Starting from this assumption, an expert system was built based on a fuzzy neural network model for seasonal and interannual forecasting of the Po River discharge. It was found that indices of solar activity and of global circulation are sufficient to yield useful forecasts of hydrological variables.  相似文献   

The U-isotopes modeling in aquifers from Poços de Caldas plateau, Brazil     

D. M. Bonotto 《Environmental Geology》2005,48(4-5):507-523

U-modeled groundwater residence times were estimated by changes in ²³⁴U/²³⁸U activity ratio (AR) and U content of groundwaters from Poços de Caldas city situated at the Poços de Caldas alkaline massif, Brazil. The estimated ages are more realistic than others generated by the use of hydraulic conductivity data and available information about the weathering rate of rocks in the plateau. The ²³⁴U/²³⁸U AR and reciprocal of the dissolved U-content data also defined a ternary plot that allowed the calculation of the relative volume of three source waters for the mixed water. Such U-isotopes modeling for mixing calculations indicated that the dominant phase (68%) in the mixture is thermal.  相似文献   

Disequilibria between ²¹⁰Po and ²¹⁰Pb in surface waters of the southern South China Sea and their implications   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Activities of the naturally occurring radionuclides, ²¹⁰Pb and ²¹⁰Po, were measured in both dissolved (<0.45 μm) and particulate (>0.45 μm) phases from surface waters of the southern South China Sea. The average activity of particulate ²¹⁰Pb, 0.23 Bq/m³ (n=23), accounted for about 12% of the total ²¹⁰Pb, which corresponds with values of open oceans. Particulate ²¹⁰Po, with an average activity of 0.43 Bq/m³, accounted for about 40% of the total ²¹⁰Po, which was much higher than those of open and eutrophic oceans. The residence times of total ²¹⁰Po and ²¹⁰Pb in surface waters estimated from an irreversible steady-state model were 0.82 a and 1.16 a, respectively. The consistently high fractionation factor calculated either by scavenging rate constants (5.42) or K_d values (6.69) suggested that a significant fractionation occurred between ²¹⁰Po and ²¹⁰Pb during their removal from solution to particles and that the two radionuclides had different biogeochemical cycling pathways in the oligotrophic South China Sea. Furthermore, our results indicated that there exist different fractionation mechanisms between ²¹⁰Po and ²¹⁰Pb in different marine environments: in eutrophic ocean, plankton detritus and fecal pellets are the main carrier of ²¹⁰Po and ²¹⁰Pb, by which ²¹⁰Po and ²¹⁰Pb have been scavenged and removed; while in oligotrophic ocean, microbes could become the main carrier of ²¹⁰Po and fractionate ²¹⁰Po and ²¹⁰Pb significantly as a result of scarce plankton detritus and fecal pellets. These results suggest the use of ²¹⁰Po to trace marine biogeochemical processes relating to microbial activities and the cycling of sulfur group elements (S, Se, Te and Po).  相似文献   

南沙海域表层水中²¹⁰Po/²¹⁰Pb不平衡及其海洋学意义     

杨伟锋  黄奕普  陈敏  张磊  李鸿宾  刘广山  邱雨生 《中国科学D辑》2006,36(1):81-89

对南沙海域表层水中溶解态(<0.45 mm)和颗粒态(>0.45 mm)²¹⁰Po和²¹⁰Pb进行了研究. 结果表明, 南沙海域表层水中溶解态和颗粒态²¹⁰Po平均比活度分别为0.61 Bq/m³(n = 24)和0.43 Bq/m³ (n = 23). 溶解态和颗粒态²¹⁰Pb 平均比活度分别为1.66 Bq/m³ (n = 24)和0.23 Bq/m³(n = 23). 颗粒态²¹⁰Pb比活度约占总²¹⁰Pb比活度的12%, 与开阔大洋相应值吻合; 而颗粒态²¹⁰Po占总²¹⁰Po的比例约40%, 明显高于开阔大洋和富营养海域. 根据稳态不可逆模型得到总²¹⁰Po和²¹⁰Pb的停留时间分别为0.82 和1.16 a. 清除过程中²¹⁰Po和²¹⁰Pb的平均分馏因子由清除速率常数法和固-液分配系数法计算分别为5.42和6.69, 揭示了²¹⁰Po和²¹⁰Pb从溶解相清除至颗粒相的过程中发生了明显的分馏. 进一步的研究证明了南沙海域²¹⁰Po和²¹⁰Pb的分馏主要由微生物控制, 与富营养海域的分馏机制不同: 在富营养海域, 浮游植物颗粒和粪粒充当²¹⁰Po和²¹⁰Pb清除和迁出过程的主要载体, ²¹⁰Po和²¹⁰Pb的分馏主要发生于浮游植物颗粒和粪粒对两核素的清除过程; 在寡营养南沙海域, 由于浮游植物颗粒和粪粒的相对贫乏, 使微生物对²¹⁰Po的清除作用相对突出, 并在此过程中使²¹⁰Po和²¹⁰Pb产生明显的分馏效应. 这与寡营养的马尾藻海的研究结果极为相似, 进一步证实寡营养海域和富营养海域²¹⁰Po生物地球化学行为和循环路径的差异. 这表明²¹⁰Po可能是研究与微生物有关的海洋学过程, 尤其是研究硫族元素(S, Se, Te和Po)生物地球化学循环的有用示踪剂.  相似文献
