Helium isotope investigation on magnetic reversal boundaries of loess-paleosol sequence at Luochuan, central Chinese Loess Plateau

Extraterrestrial particles have higher 3He/4He ratios than those of terrestrial sediments ( > 100 Ra versus < 0.03 Ra, where Ra is the 3He/4He ratio normalized to the atmospheric value of 1.4×10?6). The inter- planetary dust particles (IDPs), which are very rich in 3He, continuously bombard the Earth and can accumulate in deposits. IDPs sedimentation rate changes can significantly influence 3He concentration in the Earth surface sediments. Since IDPs are not easy to detect in terrestrial deposits, measuring helium isotopes is a helpful approach to examine changes in IDPs. Helium concentration and helium isotopic composition magnetic substances and the quartz particles were examined for helium concen- tration and helium isotopic ratio. Results show that the 3He/4He ratio and the 3He concentrations of the magnetic substances are clearly higher than those of the bulk samples and the quartz particles, and, the 3He/4He ratio of the extracted magnetic substances is also higher than that of the average level of the Earth’s crust. The higher helium content in the magnetic fractions can be explained by an influx of IDPs.     

嫦娥一号绕月卫星对月球重力场模型的优化

月球重力场是揭示月球内部结构和物质组成的重要信息,探测月球重力场仍然是绕月探测任务中的重要科学目标之一．在已有月球重力场模型基础上,利用嫦娥一号探测数据,并结合“月女神”一号探测器、月球勘察者（LP）及早期月球探测器轨道跟踪数据,本文解算得到了高精度月球重力场模型CEGM02（100阶次）,在CEGM01月球重力场模型基础上对模型进行了优化．对新模型的分析结果表明,嫦娥一号卫星轨道跟踪数据的融入,使得对月球重力场长波长部分的解算精度有显著提高,相比于SGMl00h模型在5阶以内精度提高约2倍,在10阶以内有明显贡献,在20阶内都有贡献．初步判断这是由于嫦娥一号卫星轨道动量轮卸载的频度不足“月女神”的1／4,而同时轨道相对较高所导致．文中结合CEGM02和激光测月观测结果解算了月球平均转动惯量0．393446（±0．000006）,对月球内部构造研究提供了更强的约束．     

An efficient heterogeneous procedure for the catalytic acetalization and ketalization at room temperature under solvent-free condition

A novel carbon-based strong acid catalyst, methylnaphthalenesulfonic acid - formaldehyde condensate, has been synthesized successfully. The catalytic activity for acetalization and ketalization at room tem- perature under solvent-free condition was investigated. The results showed that the novel catalyst was very efficient for the reaction. Also the novel heterogeneous catalyst owned the advantages of high activity, wide applicability, strikingly simple work-up procedure, non-pollution, stability and reusability, which made the catalyst hold great potential for the ＂green process＂.     

Metallogenetic epoch and mechanism of the tungsten ore in Yushan,Beishan orogenic belt,Gansu

Using SHRIMP zircon U-Pb dating methods and cathodoluminescence （CL） technique, we have precisely dated ore samples from tungsten ore deposit, ore-bearing volcanic-sedimentary strata and granite in the Yushan region within the east Tianshan-Beishan W-bearing zone. This study reveals Yushan tungsten ore deposit zone formed in 250 ± 9 Ma, and it is closely associated with the Permian granites and felsic volcanic rocks. This new type of tungsten ore deposit in the east Tianshan-Beishang multiple-metallogenetic province may probably be associated with the regionally right-literal shearing after the main Carboniferous collisional orogeny, and the formation of pull-apart basin and the felsic magmatism.     

Synthesis of 2,4-diisopropyl-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane catalyzed by Br?nsted acidic ionic liquids

The acetalization reactions of isobutyraldehyde with 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol （TMPD） for the synthesis of 2,4-diisopropyl-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxsne were carried out under mild reaction conditions using four water-stable Brenstad-acidic task-specific ionic liquids （[HMIM]BF4, -SO3H funcUonalized acidic ionic liquid, -COOH functionalized acidic ionic liquid, [NMP][HSO4]） as environmentally benign catalysts for the first time. The process is highly effective and very selective. The -COOH functionalized Brensted acidic ionic liquid with the two acid sites （IL-3） exhibited the most excellent catalytic performance under mild reactlon conditions. The -COOH functionalized Brensted acidic ionic liquid could be conveniently separated from the product and easily recycled in subsequent runs.     

Responses of rice growth to copper stress under free-air CO2 enrichment （FACE）

The responses of rice to the second degree contamination of copper were studied by pot experiments under free-air CO2 enrichment （FACE） with 570 μmol ·mol^-1 of CO2. The results showed that the content of copper in rice leaves was reduced with the CO2 concentration reaching 570 μmol· mol^-1 and this happened more significantly under the second degree contamination of copper. Under FACE, activities of superoxide dismutase （SOD） enzyme in rice leaves treated by copper contamination were induced, whereas the contents of glutathione （GSH） and glutathione disulfide （GSSG） had no significant difference from the control. In the presence of ambient CO2, activities of SOD enzyme treated by copper pollution were suppressed during the whole rice growth, however, the contents of GSH and GSSG were induced at tillering and jointing stages, and then restored to the control levels in later growth under the second degree contamination of copper. With the rice growing, the content of malondialdehyde （MDA） rises continuously, but there had been no significant difference between the treatments at the same growth stage. Further studies are needed on the response mechanism of rice to Cu stress under elevated CO2.
