A high-resolution environmental change record since 19 cal ka BP in Pumoyum Co,southern Tibet

A 380-cm-long sediment core was acquired from the deep water area of Pumoyum Co, southern Tibet. Twenty-five plant residue samples were selected, and organic carbon stable isotopes were obtained using the AMS ¹⁴C chronological method. The ¹⁴C age and carbon reservoir effect were calibrated with surface sedimentation rate measurements using ²¹⁰Pb dating. Results showed that the core sediment deposited over 19 cal ka BP. Based on a multi-proxy analysis of TOC and IC contents, grain size and pollen assemblage data, the palaeoclimatic evolution of Pumoyum Co was reconstructed since the last glacial. Pumoyum Co was a shallow lake prior to 16.2 cal ka BP; although the glacier around the lake began to melt due to increasing temperatures, climate was still cold and dry. In the interval of 16.2–11.8 cal ka BP, the sedimentary environment fluctuated drastically and frequently. Two cold-events occurred at 14.2 and 11.8 cal ka BP, and these may correspond to the Older Dryas and the Younger Dryas events, respectively. After 11.8 cal ka BP, Pumoyun Co developed into the deep lake as it is now. The lake water temperature was relatively lower at that time because of influx of cold water from glacial meltwater entering the lake. As a result, the multi-proxy indicators showed no sign of warm conditions. Comparisons between the sedimentary record of Pumoyum Co with that of other lakes of the same age in southern Tibet indicate a warmer climate following the last deglaciation influenced the southeastern Tibetan Plateau. These results imply that the southwest Asian monsoon gradually became stronger since the deglaciation during its expansion to the inner plateau. The glacial-supplied water of the lake responded sensitively to cold-events. The entire southern Tibet region was dominantly influenced climatically by the southwest Asian monsoon during the Holocene.     

A small difference in nuclear mass could make a big impact in the cosmos

In a recent paper [1] published in Physical Review Letters, scientists at the Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, have reported their first results from the Cooler Storage Ring at the Heavy Ion Research Facility, a newly-constructed major scientific facility in Lanzhou, China.

Reverberation nulling and echo enhancement at low frequency using waveguide invariance

Based on the fact that the transfer function vector between a source receiver array and the dominant scatterer of boundary reverberation at a range can be obtained from the corresponding reverberations scattered from this range cell, a reverberation nulling concept using time reversal processing has been proposed. However, current reverberation nulling methods have certain limitations when applied into practice, which would null boundary reverberation and target echo simultaneously. As a solution, a passive reverberation nulling and echo enhancement method at low frequency using waveguide invariance is proposed in this paper. In this method, the reverberation subspace for the target range cell is not obtained directly from the return signals scattered by the target range cell but from the return signals scattered by a range cell located before the target using waveguide invariance, so as to suppress the reverberation embodied in the target echo by passive reverberation nulling. Besides, a range-dependent optimal weighting vector rather than conventional projector matrix is deduced to null the reverberation component meanwhile maximizing the target echo, thereby enhancing the echo-to-reverberation ratio furthest. Numerical simulations in typical range-independent shallow water environment demonstrate the efficacy and the improved performance of the proposed method for echo-to-reverberation enhancement.

无瓣海桑（Sonneratia apetala）对浮游微藻群落结构及生态功能的影响研究

 2009年春季和秋季对广州市南沙区14涌和19涌以人工种植红树植物无瓣海桑（Sonneratia apetala）为主的湿地水体中的浮游微藻进行采样调查,从种类数、丰度、门类组成和多样性指数对微藻进行群落结构及其生态功能的分析研究,并以此对湿地水质进行评价和从藻类的角度分析无瓣海桑对湿地水体的净化功能。结果显示,微藻种类极其丰富,共鉴定出8门92属338种,总丰度在10⁵～10⁷个/L数量级,其中以19涌湿地公园无瓣海桑林内微藻丰度最高,达9.45×10⁶～1.20×10⁷个/L,为超富营养水平。14涌和19涌都存在着有机污染现象,但14涌湿地水质要优于19涌,主要与其内水文条件较优有关。无瓣海桑如果在较封闭的水体环境中易产生较严重的水体富营养化现象。在管理人工红树林湿地时应注意保证林内与林外水体的流通。     

应用回归分析的数据关联算法

针对复杂电磁环境下目标跟踪需要兼顾实时性和精确性的问题,应用测量领域的数据处理方法,提出了回归分析的数据关联算法.首先,利用对滤波曲线的两点回归分析,逐一预测各观测到达时刻的置信区间,筛选出关联点;接着,以系统处理周期为分组标准,对筛选序列进行成组观测数据回归分析;最后,计算出观测融合点,并用该点更新滤波器新息.该算法不仅能将复杂的关联转变成测量点迹动态更新过程,而且优化了同步化处理步骤.仿真实验表明:回归分析算法与联合概率数据关联算法相比,在直线运动场景下,两者的均方根误差及轨迹丢失率相近,且随着目标数目的增多,前者在平均占用CPU时间上的优越性更加突出;在曲线运动场景下,两者跟踪误差相当,前者占用CPU时间仅为后者的1/6.     

溅射金膜对氧化铝陶瓷纳秒脉冲真空沿面闪络的影响

研究了溅射金膜对氧化铝陶瓷在真空环境中、纳秒脉冲高电压作用下沿面闪络特性的影响规律.通过对氧化铝陶瓷表面粗糙度、电极接触形式的研究,并结合表面态陷阱、界面能带结构、电荷注入过程的分析,探究了影响氧化铝陶瓷溅射金膜后沿面闪络电压的主要原因.在50 ns/1.2μs脉冲下、电极间距10 mm时,测量各试样的闪络电压60次,取后30次平均值作为稳定的闪络电压.研究结果发现,氧化铝陶瓷在溅射金膜电极试样的闪络电压比直接压接电极试样的闪络电压低,这是因为在不同电极接触方式下,氧化铝陶瓷材料的表面态对真空中的电子发射和材料表层的电荷注入的影响不同所致.
