黄骅坳陷北大港构造带沙河街组碎屑岩储层特征及其控制因素

在沉积相研究的基础上,综合利用岩石铸体薄片、扫描电镜、X-衍射和镜质体反射率等实验室分析技术,对黄骅坳陷北大港构造带沙河街组开展碎屑岩储层的岩石学特征和成岩作用研究,总结次生孔隙的发育分布规律,最终探讨研究区储层储集性能的控制因素.结果表明:研究区储层孔隙类型主要为次生孔隙,纵向上主要发育3个次生孔隙带,有机酸、CO_2和黏土矿物转化是研究区次生孔隙形成的主要原因;沉积相类型、成岩作用、黏土矿物转化以及烃类的早期充注对研究区碎屑岩储集性能具有重要的控制作用.     

Abtrennung des anaphylatoxinbildenden Prinzips aus Cobragift von anderen Giftkomponenten

Summary Cobra venom contains an anaphylatoxin-forming principle. This component has been purified by gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. It has been obtained free from proteolytic or hemolytic activity as well as from phospholipase A. It seems to be an enzyme that splits the anaphylatoxin from its inactive precursor.     

Highly variable Northern Hemisphere temperatures reconstructed from low- and high-resolution proxy data

A number of reconstructions of millennial-scale climate variability have been carried out in order to understand patterns of natural climate variability, on decade to century timescales, and the role of anthropogenic forcing. These reconstructions have mainly used tree-ring data and other data sets of annual to decadal resolution. Lake and ocean sediments have a lower time resolution, but provide climate information at multicentennial timescales that may not be captured by tree-ring data. Here we reconstruct Northern Hemisphere temperatures for the past 2,000 years by combining low-resolution proxies with tree-ring data, using a wavelet transform technique to achieve timescale-dependent processing of the data. Our reconstruction shows larger multicentennial variability than most previous multi-proxy reconstructions, but agrees well with temperatures reconstructed from borehole measurements and with temperatures obtained with a general circulation model. According to our reconstruction, high temperatures--similar to those observed in the twentieth century before 1990--occurred around ad 1000 to 1100, and minimum temperatures that are about 0.7 K below the average of 1961-90 occurred around ad 1600. This large natural variability in the past suggests an important role of natural multicentennial variability that is likely to continue.
