Stegana castanea species group (Diptera,Drosophilidae) from the Oriental region

The Stegana castanea species group is established as a morphological group within the subgenus Steganina, based on two known and six new species from the Oriental region: Stegana (Steganina) bacilla Chen and Aotsuka, 2004 Chen, HW and Aotsuka, T. 2004.

文明来自东方——就宗教和神话谈近东文明对西方文明的影响

西方文明兴起较晚，当希腊、罗马文明兴起之时，近东已有上千年的文明。因而西方文明不可避免地受到古老近东文明——苏关尔、巴比伦、埃及、波斯诸文明的影响。尤其是近东各民族的宗教和神话对希腊、罗马乃至基督教的影响甚为久远，经由他们的融合吸收、加工提炼，最后成为今日西方文明的一部分。     

东海表层沉积物中重金属集散特征及变化规律

为研究重金属集散特征及在海洋沉积物中的变化规律,采用π定理建立准则,分别对表征重金属集散特征多因子中的中值粒径、细粒平均粒径及其含量、有机质和粘土含量做了数理统计与分析,建立多元集散控制方程,并运用最小二乘法求解方程中的相关系数.结果表明,该方程能够很好地表征海洋沉积物中重金属元素富集规律及其在海底环境中动态变化过程.     

末次冰期以来东海内陆架沉积反映的海平面变化

对东海内陆架泥质沉积区MD06-3042孔(27°05.4′N,121°24.1′E,水深62m,岩芯长34.1m)样品进行了高分辨率的粒度分析和14C年代测试,重建了末次冰期以来东海内陆架区的海平面及沉积环境的变化.14.0ka左右,海平面已经到达现今海平面下62m等深线的位置,大量沉积物在此沉积.13.0~4.2ka之间,受海流等多种因素影响,少量沉积物在此沉积.4.2~3.2ka之间,现代东海内陆架的泥质沉积主体在该岩芯附近快速堆积.东海内陆架的泥质沉积体由北向南,由内向外逐渐形成,具有阶段性.     

An virtual numerical experiment to understand the impacts of recovering natural vegetation on the summer climate and environmental conditions in East Asia

By applying a regional integrated environmental model system (RIEMS), a virtual numerical experiment is implemented to study the impacts of recovering natural vegetation on the regional climate and environmental conditions. The results show that recovering the natural vegetation in large scale could have significant influence on summer climate in East Asia. Not only would it be able to change the surface climate, but also to modify to certain extent the intensity of monsoon circulation. Although this is a virtual experiment at an extremely ideal condition, the implication of the simulating results is that the on-going nation-wide activities to recover the crop land for forest and pasture must be managed according to the local natural climate, hydrological and soil conditions. Only under such a condition, would the recovering of natural vegetation bring about significant climate and environmental benefits at regional scale.     

中国东部新生代陆相断陷盆地层序的构成样式

选取我国东部跨不同古构造、古气候和古地理单元的多个陆相断陷盆地,如济阳凹陷、南阳和泌阳凹陷、南堡凹陷、歧口凹陷、江汉盆地、东濮凹陷、百色盆地和苏北盆地等,以层序界面和层序单元的精细划分为基础,对古近系-新近系的构造地层格架和层序结构特征进行对比分析,总结出犁式断坳型和陡倾式断坳型2种类型层序地层格架和断坡带型、弯折带型、枢纽带型(或斜坡型)3种典型的层序构成样式。不同级次的构造控制着层序的发育和层序样式特点,在此基础上建立了对储集体展布和烃源岩潜力具有重要预测功能的层序地层模式,从而为我国东部具有地域及地质特色的陆相含油气盆地内隐蔽油气藏的寻找和评价提供了一套新的思维框架。     

Evolution of the South China Sea and monsoon history revealed in deep-sea records

As the third summary report of ODP Leg 184 to the South China Sea (SCS), this paper discusses the evolution of the East Asian monsoon and the SCS basin. A multi-proxy approach, involving geochemistry, micropale-ontology, pollen and other analyses, was adopted for reconstructing the evolutionary history of the East Asian monsoon, which was characterized by a series of paleo-climate events especially at 8, 3.2, 2.2 and 0.4 Ma. The new record indicates similar stages in the development of the East and South Asian monsoons, with an enhanced winter monsoon over East Asia being the major difference. The rich spectrums of monsoon variability from the southern SCS also reveal other characteristic features of the low latitude ocean. Evidence for the evolution of the SCS includes the hemipelagic Oligocene sediments, implying the existence of deep water environments during the early seafloor spreading stage of the SCS basin. The four major unconformities and some remarkabl ediagenetic features in upper Oligocene deposits indicate the strongest tectonic events in the region. From a careful comparison of lithologies and sedimentation rates, we conclude that the prominent differences in sedimentary environments between the southern and northern SCS were established only by ～3 Ma.     

东海风暴潮数值预报模式参数的敏感性分析

设计两个模拟台风,以北上型台风路径对东海风暴潮数值预报模式进行敏感性分析。采用高桥水文站的风暴潮计算结果,分析了台风引起的最大增水及出现时间对台风中心经度、纬度、中心气压和最大风圈半径的敏感程度。结果表明,最大风暴增水的数值对台风中心纬度并不敏感,对台风中心气压、最大风圈半径有一定的敏感,但也并不显著,而对台风中心经度最为敏感。最大增水出现的时间则对台风中心气压、最大风圈半径并不敏感,对台风中心经度和纬度较为敏感,尤其是纬度最为显著。在设计的两种模拟台风中,最大增水出现的时间表现出对台风中心纬度以及台风移速更为敏感.     

东海中华管鞭虾的数量分布和生物学特性

对东海中华管鞭虾的数量分布及其主要生物学特性进行了研究，结果表明：调查区该种的年平均渔获率为524g／h，以春季较高(839g／h)，秋季次之，冬季最低。其分布海域主要在20～60m水深，即在沿岸低盐水和外海高盐水交汇的混合海区，适温范围10～25℃。适盐范围30～34。繁殖期6～10月，盛期8～10月，9月至翌年1月相继出现30～40mm的小虾，并逐月长大加入捕捞群体，成为翌年新的捕捞对象。为合理利用该资源，建议12月至翌年2月，在小虾出现高峰期时，加强保护措施，增加补充群体的资源数量，提高经济效益。
