古人类遗址桐梓岩灰洞的Th-230/U-234年龄

用 Th-230/U-234法测定了岩灰洞钟乳石结层和骨化石样品的年龄。划为第二层的钙板的年龄为21.4万年。先于钙板生成的岩灰洞堆积物的年龄应大于此值,因此应划为更新世中期,桐梓人应属直立人。     

A newly discovered Gigantopithecus fauna from Sanhe Cave, Chongzuo, Guangxi, South China

Among the most important faunas in the Late Cenozoic, the Gigantopithecus faunas have received a good deal of attention. The Gigantopithecus fauna recently discovered in Sanhe Cave consists of more than 80 mammal species, including cf. Hominidae, Pongo sp., Hylobates sp., Sinomastodon yangziensis, Stegodon preorientalis, Cervavitus fenqii, Dicoryphochoerus ultimus and Sus xiaozhu. It is the southernmost Gigantopithecus fauna found so far in China. Its geological age is estimated to be Early Pleistocene based on the fauna and stratigraphic correlation. The significant increase in the estimated body sizes of Ailuropoda, Gigantopithecus and Tapirus shows that the Sanhe fauna is middle Early Pleistocene, later than those from Wushan and Liucheng (early Early Pleistocene). Paleomagnetic dating of the fossil-bearing strata in Sanhe Cave gives an age of approximately 1.2 Ma. The fauna is characterized by tropical-subtropical forest types, including Pongo sp., Tupaia sp., Ia sp., Typhlomys intermedius, etc., and it lacks Palaearctic types. It is a typical tropical forest fauna, suggesting an environment with a lush forest and a warm and humid climate. The discovery of the Sanhe Gigantopithecus fauna is significant for establishing the chronological stages of the Gigantopithecus faunas in China, and for discussing their origin, evolution and dynamics.

Orbital- and millennial-scale variability of the Asian monsoon during MIS8 from Sanbao Cave at Mount Shennongjia,central China

One stalagmite oxygen isotope record from Sanbao Cave, China, established with 7 230Th ages and 355 oxygen isotope data, pro- vides a continuous history of the East Asian Monsoon (EAM) intensity for the period from 284 to 240 thousand years before present (ka BP) with typical errors of 3―4 ka. This new record extends the previously published stalagmite δ18O record back to the marine oxygen isotope stage (MIS) 8. The MIS8 EAM record broadly follows orbitally-induced insolation variations and is punctuated by...     

芙蓉洞CO2变化特征初探

通过2009年9月～2010年11月对芙蓉洞11个监测点CO_2浓度连续监测,发现芙蓉洞CO_2浓度有一定时空变化特征。空间上,由于洞穴环境封闭,洞内CO_2浓度总体上从洞口到洞尾增长,同时游客人数,洞道形状等因素对其产生一定影响;季节上,CO_2浓度与洞穴外部环境有一定的响应关系,冬季外界温度较低,降水量较少,洞内CO_2浓度也较低。     

消防车敏捷外观造型系统开发

为了减少消防车制造企业工业设计师进行产品设计时的重复性设计工作,提高数字化通用模型的利用率,结合消防车外观部件数字化设计时的特点,利用VB语言对三维造型软件Rhino的二次开发技术构建出基于Rhino平台消防车快速外观造型系统.该系统通过调用基础部件模型,设定部件的参数,缺省指定约束部件材质,可快速生成消防车造型设计参照.在此基础上进行全新部件设计,可避免消防车数字化模型设计过程中重复建模、重复指定材质等问题.通过实例验证,该系统可以有效提高消防车外观设计效率和设计质量.     

独立式窑洞地震作用下损伤指标研究

定量地评估结构在地震作用下的损伤是地震工程领域的研究重点,增量动力分析方法已被广泛用于建筑结构地震易损性评估,而结构损伤指标是定量评估结构损伤情况的重要参数,山西北部农村地区的独立式土坯窑洞是一种拱受力结构体系,为研究拱结构在地震作用下的破坏特征并确立结构损伤指标,结合实际震害与数值模拟试验,分析了窑洞结构在地震作用下的破坏特征,对比了窑洞结构的顶点水平位移和拱顶竖向位移在不同地震动峰值加速度下与结构损伤情况对应关系,发现窑洞拱顶竖向位移与窑洞拱矢高作为窑洞损伤指标较为合理。     

Huanglong Cave, a new late Pleistocene hominid site in Hubei Province, China

济南龙洞景区河流袭夺探析

在大量野外实地考察的基础上，研究了济南龙洞景区的河流袭夺现象．阐明了河流袭夺的形态特征，并根据地貌面与沉积证据判定了河流袭夺发生的时代，从而揭示了龙洞景区深谷与陡崖的形成过程．研究表明：龙洞景区河流袭夺发生于第四纪初期，是研究区造景地貌形成的主要外营力．其成因不仅与河流侵蚀能力的差异有关，还与流域地貌演进阶段、区域岩性及构造特征、气候及海平面变化等因素密切关联．
