The age of formation of the mirabilite and sand wedges in the Hexi Corridor and their paleoclimatic interpretation

The Hexi Corridor is located at the transition zone of the Asian summer monsoon and westerly airflow, and lies in an important position in terms of its ecological fragility and climatic sensitivity. During a recent field expedition to this region, we found a sedimentary mirabilite layer in a number of localities including Suwushan, Yanchi, Baitujing, Yanchi Gaotai, Huahai, Yumen, Halanuo扙r, and Dunhuang (Fig. 1), which have the potential to provide important information about environmenta…     

Temperature variations on the Tibetan Plateau over the last two millennia

The paleoclimate data recovered from ice cores,tree rings and lake sediments indicate regional features of cfimatic change on the Tibeta n Plateau (TP) during the last 2000 years. The composite temperature reconstructions in-dicate that several main climatic episodes, such as the “LittleIce Age“ between 1400 and 1900, the “Medieval Warm Pe-riod“ in 1150-1400, a less warm period in 800-1100, and an earlier cold period between the 3rd and 5th centuries,occurred in the TP. In addition, temperature varied from region to region. The period from AD 800 to 1100, which waswarm in northeastern TP, was contemporaneous with cool-ing in the western and southern TP. The southern TP ex-perienced warming between 1150 and 1400. For western TP,the δ^18O records of the Guliya ice core indicate that the pe-Hod 1250-1500 witnessed a clear warming. Large-scaletrends in the temperature history from northeastern TP aremore similar to those in eastern China than are the trendsfrom the Guliya ice cap far to the west and southern TP. The most prominent similarities between the temperature varia-tions of the TP and eastern China are such cold phases as 1100-1150, 1500-1550, 1650-1700 and 1800-1850, andthe latter three cold events match with three widespreadg lacial advances which occurred on the TP during the Little Ice A2e.     

Time-division phase modulated single-photon interference in a Sagnac interferometer

We introduce a stable, long-distance singlephoton Sagnac interferometer, which has a balanced configuration to efficiently compensate phase drift caused by change of the fiber-optic path. By using time-division phase modulation, single-photon interference was realized at 1550nm in a 5-km-long as well as 27-km-long Sagnac fiber loops,with a fringe visibility higher than 90% and long-term stability. The stable performance of the single-photon interference indicated that the time-division phase-modulated Sagnac interferometer might readily lead to practical applications in single-photon routing and quantum cryptography.     

生产民俗中的角色转换与女性地位的变化--以江西波阳管驿前村为例

生产民俗是人类在生产过程中逐渐形成的习惯与风尚。女性在生产民俗中的角色定位，与其在家庭及社区中的地位相关。而角色的转换，会引起这种地位的变化。     

罗氏沼虾精子发生的超微结构

应用透射电镜技术，研究了罗氏沼虾精子发生的全过程．观察表明：精原细胞较大，近卵圆形，核大而圆，染色质分散．初级精母细胞比精原细胞略小，染色质凝聚成块状，散布于核质中．次级精母细胞呈多边形，染色质致密，核膜双层，细胞质和核质问通过核孔进行物质交换．精细胞近圆形或多边形，染色质较密集地均匀分布，胞质较丰富，有线粒体、游离核糖体和内质网分布．精子分化早期，染色质向胞核的一侧移动，随着分化的进行，精细胞核逐渐拉长，变得弯曲．分化晚期，细胞质中出现许多膜片层结构，分泌一些碎细丝状物质，沿核的边缘向核凸起的一端推进，不断聚集、突起，最终形成具横纹精子的棘突．成熟的精子呈漏斗状，包括一个杯形的核和由其发出的一个横纹状棘突．     

大学评估与大学发展

“评估”已成为近年来中国高等教育领域里的一个“显词”,这是中国大学客观实际需要,也是国际通行做法。问题是应该选择怎样的科学路径,去把别人的经验、国际通用的标准与中国大学的具体实际相结合,建立有中国特色的高等教育评估系统,以科学发展观引领高校评估,把握好、运用好、拓展好评估这一武器,使评估真正促进中国大学的持续快速发展。     

热处理对直流磁控溅射ITO薄膜光电学性质的影响

利用直流磁控溅射在石英衬底上沉积透明导电的掺锡氧化铟（ITO）薄膜，在相同条件下制备了两种不同溅射时间（30、10min）的样品，样品在400℃的大气中进行1h退火处理．利用分光光度计测量薄膜的正入射透射光谱，并拟合透射光谱得到薄膜的折射率、消光系数及厚度；用Van der Pauw方法测量薄膜电学性质，包括载流子浓度、载流子迁移率和电阻率．实验结果显示退火处理对ITO薄膜的光学、电学性质有重要影响，退火样品在可见光区域的透过率明显提高，且光学吸收边向长波方向移动；然而，退火前薄膜的电学性能更好．     

群体诉讼比较研究与路径选择

群体纠纷是当代各国共同面临的问题,而各国选择群体诉讼制度的设计和实践却千差万别,显示出多元化的趋势.本文着重分析了美国集团诉讼、德国团体诉讼、日本与我国台湾地区选定当事人诉讼的特点和差别,并与我国诉讼代表人制度进行了比较,指出了我国代表人制度存在的不足和原因,提出应借鉴其他国家有益经验和做法,以一种多元化的思路和举措来解决代表人诉讼制度存在的问题,应对群体性纠纷解决的实际需求.
