Carbon isotopic records in paleosols over the Pliocene in Northern China: Implication on vegetation development and Tibetan uplift

Carbon isotopic composition of pedogenic carbonate can be used to estimate the proportion of C₄ and C₃ plants. Here we present carbon isotopic data of carbonate in a red earth section at Xifeng, central Loess Plateau. Results show that C₄ vegetation increased in ∼4.4 Ma B.P., stabilized between 4.0 and 3.0 Ma B.P. The character and timing of C₄ expansion on the Loess Plateau are similar, but different with other localities, e.g. Pakistan and Africa, implying that regional climate changes were main factors driving the expansion of C₄ plants. This event is comparable in timing with increased aridity evidenced by Xifeng grain size and North Pacific eolian dust records. Therefore we argue that the Pliocene expansion of C₄ plants in northern China might have been caused by the increased aridity, which in turn might be related to rapid uplift of the Tibetan Plateau.     

The reaction of acenaphthene with nitrobenzene

The reaction of acenaphthene with nitrobenzene was investigated in the presence of AlCl₃. The results showed that the reaction proceeded via carboncation-electrophilic substitution reaction and free radical substitution reaction pathway. The products of acenaphthenyl phenylamine and biacenaphthyl could be synthesized by this reaction. The influence of the amount of AlCl₃ and the temperature on the components of products were also studied in this reaction.

Investigation for Electromechanical Coupling Unstability of Rolling Mill

The unsteady condition of rolling Mill vibration that was caused by flexural vibration of strip was investigated. The parametric flexural vibration equation of rolled strip was established. The parametric flexural vibration stability of rolled strip was studied and region of stability and unstability was determined based on Floquet theory and perturbation method. The flexural-vibration of strip was unstable if the frequency of variable tension was twice as the natural frequency of flexural-vibration strip. ...     

Unsteady-State Grinding Technology (I) Theoretical Generalization and Research on Grinding Mechanism

In conventional grinding theory, it is obvious that there must be a very high hardness difference between grains of the grinding wheel and workpieces. The best grinding wheels are those giving the lowest “natural limiting surface roughness“ while cutting at appreciable plunge velocities. With the development of new materials and new machining processes, conventional theories of grinding techniques are no longer suitable to explain many phenomena in the course of grinding procedures. In dealing with precisio...     

Thermoelectric power and carrier concentration of La2−xSrxCuO4(0.03 <x <0.17) single crystals

Thermoelectric power (S) measurements have been systematically investigated in high-quality La2-x-Srx-CuO4 single crystals with different Sr concentrations (x =0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.1, 0.12). In this doping range studied, S remains positive, and with the increase of Sr concentration,room-temperature thermoelectric power S (290 K) decreases.An empirical formula which presents a relationship between hole concentration P and room-temperature thermoelectric power S (290 K) is reported in this note. Based on the theory of metallic diffusion model, the experimental results are discussed.
