Taihu Lake is the third largest freshwater lake in China and has been experiencing eutrophication problems for several decades. Diatoms in short sediment cores from three bays in northern Taihu Lake were studied in addition to 1-year of seasonal phytoplankton samples in order to evaluate the rate and magnitude of nutrient enrichment. The dominant species found in the phytoplankton samples appeared in high percentages in the surface sediment samples, suggesting that the latter faithfully record the modern diatom flora. The diatom preservation status varied among the three cores, while in all cores the preservation deteriorated with sediment depth. Due to the superior diatom preservation in the core from Mashan Bay, the fossil diatom record of this core and an established diatom total phosphorus (TP) transfer function were used to reconstruct the nutrient history of Taihu Lake. Diatom assemblages changed from Aulacoseira-dominated to other eutrophic planktonic species, such as Stephanodiscus minutulus, Cyclostephanos tholiformis, Cyclotella atomus, C. meneghiniana and S. hantzschii in ca. 1980. Diatom-inferred TP concentrations exhibited little change prior to 1980, with values around 50 μg/l. However, after 1980 TP concentrations increased significantly and remained in excess of 100 μg/l, reflecting eutrophication of Taihu Lake. Comparison with TP measurements in the water column from 1988 to 2004, as well as the analogue analysis among fossil and modern samples, demonstrates that the diatom-TP inference model can reliably hindcast past TP concentrations. Therefore, the baseline TP value of about 50 μg/l, can be used as a restoration target for Taihu Lake. However, due to the complexity of this very large, shallow aquatic ecosystem, caution should be exercised when employing the diatom record to track eutrophication. Further studies on the mechanism of diatom distribution, evolution and preservation are recommended for Taihu Lake.  相似文献   

Reciprocality between biology and geology: Reconstructing polar Gondwana     

B. Michaux   《Gondwana Research》2009,16(3-4):655-668

The reciprocal nature of the relationship between historical geology (reconstruction models) and biology (constructing phylogenies) is discussed and the conceptual basis of such a relationship is examined through its historical development. Examples to illustrate aspects of the relationship are drawn from the Cretaceous breakup of polar Gondwana and the Cenozoic history of some of the resultant microcontinental fragments. A new mid-Cretaceous (circa 100 Ma) rift zone, separating the west Gondwanan Campbell Plateau, southern New Zealand, from the east Gondwanan Melanesian Rift is proposed, and biological and geological evidence for it is presented and discussed. It is also suggested that the Bounty Trough, Chatham Rise, and Hikurangi Plateau unit is incorrectly placed in reconstruction models, and it should be fitted outboard of the Melanesian Rift until its mid-Cenozoic attachment to the Campbell Plateau. It is concluded that both reconstruction modelling and phylogenetic analyses have much to gain through ‘reciprocal illumination’.  相似文献   

Assessment of three temperature reconstruction methods in the virtual reality of a climate simulation     

Hans von Storch  Eduardo Zorita  Fidel González-Rouco 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》2009,98(1):67-82

The performance of statistical climate reconstruction methods in the pre-instrumental period is uncertain, as they are calibrated in a short instrumental period but applied to much longer reconstructions time spans. Here, the virtual reality created by a climate simulation of the past millennium with the model ECHO-G is used as a test bed of three methods to reconstruct the annual Northern Hemisphere temperature. The methods are Composite plus Scaling, the inverse regression method of Mann et al. (Nature 392:779–787, 1998) and a direct principal-components regression method. The testing methodology is based on the construction of pseudo-proxies derived from the climate model output, the application of each of these methods to pseudo-proxy timeseries, and the comparison of their result with the simulated mean temperature. Different structures of the noise have been used to construct pseudo-proxies, ranging from the simulated grid-point precipitation. Also, one sparse and one denser pseudo-proxy network, co-located with two real networks, have been considered. All three methods underestimate the simulated variations of the Northern Hemisphere temperature, but the Composite plus Scaling method clearly displays a better performance and is robust against the different noise models and network size. The most relevant factor determining the skill of the reconstruction appears to be the network size, whereas the different noise models tend to yield similar results.  相似文献

CT图象重建的算法优化和代码优化   总被引：4，自引：1，他引：3

卷积反投影是CT图象重建的最重要算法作为一种线性处理,其基本算法并不复杂,但由于CT的数据量庞大,使得图象重建的计算十分耗时.国外CT大都采用基于64位CPU的工作站并配以专门为CT建象设计的阵列处理板,这种昂贵的造价数十万元的计算机系统对一般医院用户来说是很大的经济负担.相反我们一直采用通用PC工作站,不仅降低了成本,而且计算机可以得到迅速的升级.这样,为满足医院临床诊断和治疗对建象速度的需要,我们就必须对该算法进行优化,优化的效果也成为CT软件能否适应市场需要,能否最终产品化的关键.本文总结了针对CT图象重建分别在算法层次和代码层次上所做的优化工作.第一,在算法实现的层次上,(1)在反投影算法中,进行内外循环交换,将最内层循环的计算量最大限度地减少,(2)利用反投影算法的对称性,只计算出部分图象数据并对称得到其它图象数据,(3)根据不同的视野范围自动调整反投影的计算量,(4)充分利用FFT的特点,提高实数线性卷积的效率.(5)数据的行列交换,用于提高CPU对数据的存取速度.第二,在代码编程的层次上,充分利用新一代微机CPU--Pentium III提供的新资源、新指令和相应的代码优化工具软件,重新编写算法关键部分的程序代码,以提高程序的实际执行效率.在东大阿尔派全身CT扫描机CT-C2000上的实际测试表明,通过上述算法优化和代码优化,CT图象重建软件的运行速度提高了8倍以上,己达到了医院实际使用的要求.  相似文献

Reconstruction of pH in the Surface Seawater over the North Pacific Basin for All Seasons Using Temperature and Chlorophyll-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>     

Yoshiyuki?NakanoEmail author  Yutaka?W.?Watanabe 《Journal of Oceanography》2005,61(4):673-680

We found a simple function of pH that relates to sea surface temperature (SST, K) and chlorophyll-a (Chl, µg l⁻¹) using measured surface seawater pH, SST and Chl data sets over the North Pacific: pH (total hydrogen scale at 2°C) = 0.01325 SST − 0.0253 Chl + 4.150 (R² = 0.95, p < 0.0001, n = 483). Moreover, evaluating the seasonal variation of pH based on this algorithm, we compared the measured pH with the predicted pH at the observational time series stations in subpolar and subtropical regions. The average of ΔpH (measured - predicted, n = 52) was 0.006 ± 0.022 pH. Therefore, the combination of SST and Chl can allow us to determine the spatiotemporal distribution of pH over the North Pacific. Using the climatological data sets of SST and Chl with our pH algorithms, we have described the seasonal distributions of pH at 25°C (pH₍₂₅₎) and pH in situ temperature (pH_(T)) over the North Pacific surface water.  相似文献

对塔里木盆地西南缘中生代沉积相和沉积环境的研究,不仅可以了解晚三叠世—晚白垩世塔里木板块南缘活动大陆边缘的历次碰撞事件,也为研究新生代中亚地区强烈的陆内变形活动提供了重要信息。本文利用野外地质调查结果和地球物理资料,在沉积相和地震相分析基础上,重建中生代沉积体系和沉积环境。结果表明:塔里木盆地西南缘中生界的原始分布受晚三叠世弧后前陆冲带冲断作用和造山后伸展作用形成的古地形控制。早侏罗世发育了一系列独立分割的小断陷,以巨厚的冲积扇、辫状河三角洲沉积为特征,其受控于NWW—SEE走向的正断层,而非NW—SE走向的古塔拉斯-费尔干纳右旋走滑断裂;早侏罗世晚期—中侏罗世广泛发育滨浅湖和河流-沼泽相沉积,可能存在一个连通了塔里木盆地南缘、吐拉以及柴达木盆地西缘的统一沉积坳陷;至晚侏罗世,冲积环境再次出现,发育的粗粒碎屑岩为早白垩世湖盆扩张前的产物;早白垩世,丰富的陆源碎屑在古昆仑山前形成多个相互叠置的冲积扇—扇三角洲—扇三角洲平原沉积体;晚白垩世,随着海水自西向东侵入,塔里木盆地西南缘陆相碎屑沉积向东逐渐退却,海相沉积占有优势。  相似文献

山东省聊城市四河头渡槽始建于1970年,是位山同灌区二干渠徒骇河的交叉输水建筑物.现该工程已严重老化,多年带病工作,渡管漏水严重.这些因素对位山灌区引黄灌溉、徒骇河防汛行洪造成了严重威胁,也阻碍了城市建设湖河相连通航.2003年,国家计划与发展改革委员会、水利部将四河头渡槽改建工程列入全国大型灌区续建配套与节水改造投资计划,同意将四河头渡槽由移动渡管型式改建为倒虹吸型式.本文针对工程设计中的有关问题进行了研究,并提出了适合本工程的方案.  相似文献
