Identification of a pre-hibernating state in myocardium from nonhibernating chipmunks

Summary During the hibermating season, the amplitude of the cardiac action potential plateau of nonhibernating chipmunks was reduced. Replacing external Ca by Sr inhibited the electromechanical responses of these preparations. Similar properties were observed in hibernating animal preparations, suggesting that changes in cardiac function are already triggered before hibernation begins.15 December 1986     

Variability of snail growing season at the Chinese Loess Plateau during the last 75 ka

Knowledge of seasonal climate change is one of the key issues facing Quaternary paleoclimatic studies and estimating seasonal climate change is difficult,especially changes such as seasonal length on glacial-interglacial timescales.The stable isotope composition from seasonal land snail shells provides the potential to reveal seasonal climatic features.Two modern land snail species,cold-aridiphilous Pupilla aeoli and thermo-humidiphilous Punctum orphana,were collected from different climatic zones in 18 localities across the Chinese Loess Plateau,spanning 11 degrees of longitude and covering a range of 1000 km2.The duration of the snail growing season(temperature ≥10℃) was shorter(202 ± 6 d) in the eastern Loess Plateau compared with in the western Loess Plateau(162 ±7 d).The δ13C of P.aeoli shells was ?9.1‰ to ?4.7‰ and ?5.0‰ to 0.3‰ for δ18O.For P.orphana,the δ13C ranged from ?9.1‰ to ?1.9‰ and ?8.9‰ to ?2.9‰ for δ18O.Both the δ13C and δ18O differences between the two snail species were reduced from the east to the western Loess Plateau(2.8‰ to 0.2 ± 1.1‰ for δ13C and 4.7‰ to 2.9 ± 1.3‰ for δ18O).These isotopic differences roughly reflect the difference in the growing season lengths between the east and west Loess Plateau indicating that the duration of the snail growing season shortens by 15 d or 19 d if the difference decreases by 1‰ in δ13C or δ18O,respectively.Thus,the difference in δ13C and δ18O between both snail species can be used to reveal the length of the snail growing season in the past.Based on our investigation,the length of the snail growing seasons from the Xifeng region during the last 75 ka was reconstructed.During the mid-Holocene(8-3 ka),the mean isotopic difference from both snail species reached maximum values of 2.6 ± 0.7‰ and 2.1 ± 1.4‰ for δ13C and δ18O,respectively.This was followed by MIS 3 that ranged from 2.5 ± 0.4‰ for δ13C and 1.6 ± 0.8‰ for δ18O.The Last Glacial Maximum changed by only 0.2‰ and 0.4‰ for δ13C and δ18O,respectively.Therefore,we estimate that the duration of the snail growing seasons to be ～200 ± 10 d during the mid-Holocene,190 ± 6 d in MIS 3 and 160 ± 3 d during the last glacial period.

伊陕斜坡东南部延长组页岩气地球化学特征分析

鄂尔多斯盆地陆相页岩气勘探潜力巨大,但对于陆相页岩气成因类型的研究相对滞后,限制了对页岩气的进一步勘探和开发。通过综合化学组分分析和碳、氢同位素分析的手段对伊陕斜坡东南部延长组页岩气和原油伴生气的地球化学特征及成因进行研究。研究结果表明延长组页岩气(生产气和真空解吸气)和原油伴生气都以烷烃类气体为主,其中甲烷含量都小于95%,非烃气体含量比较低。页岩解吸气中,非烃气体比例相对较高,且氧气含量异常高,这与解吸装置密封性不好或者装置本身残留空气清除不彻底有关。页岩气和原油伴生气的甲烷含量低、干燥系数(C_1/C_(1~5))主要集中在0.6~0.9之间、C_2/C_3都小于3,δ~(13)C_1值分布于-52.0‰~-44.9‰之间、δ~(13)C_2值都小于-29‰,δ~(13)C_3值都小于-25.5‰和δD_1都小于-150‰,指示研究区页岩气和原油伴生气以陆相环境热成因的热解湿气(油型气)为主。页岩气和原油伴生气样品有相对高的正庚烷含量和正构烷烃(nC_(5-7))含量,δ~(13)C_2值分布于-41.1‰~-31.1‰之间,说明延长组页岩气与原油伴生气都属于偏腐泥型天然气。此外,延长组页岩气和原油伴生气碳同位素系列基本都属正碳同位素系列,且δ~(13)C_1与δ~(13)C_2值,δ~(13)C_2值与δ~(13)C_3值有较好的正相关关系,这也表明页岩气和原油伴生气具有相同或相似的母质来源。     

高含钡锶离子采出水成垢趋势分析方法研究——以耿83区刘六增压站采出水为例

油田注水开发导致采出液的含水量逐年增加,部分区块采出液水体结垢导致集输管线堵塞等各种问题日益严重。根据耿83区高含钡锶离子的特点,分别采用常规水分析方法、原子吸收光谱法和等离子体原子发射光谱法测试采出水和注入水的水样离子组成成分、水样矿化度、水型等。实验结果表明,在高矿化度含多种阳离子的水溶液中,原子吸收光谱法测试结果更准确。采用原子吸收光谱法对该区块结垢特征系统分析,计算结垢理论值,得出主要为硫酸钡和硫酸锶垢型。将现场垢样通过能谱和扫描电镜分析,验证得到与水样分析出的垢体一致。该方法能准确判定出垢体和垢型,为进一步采取有效的防垢、清垢措施提供重要的依据。

Stable carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions of carbonates in middle Mesoproterozoic Wumishan Formation and sea-level change

δ13C of dolostones from the Wumishan Formation (1 310-1 207 Ma) in the Ming Tombs area near Beijing ranges from - 1.5 to 1.5‰ (PDB), and generally, the δ18O ranges from - 4 to - 5‰ (PDB). The secular variation of stable carbon isotopic compositions is cyclic. δ13C displays positive shifts from a sequence boundary to 1.5 per mil (PDB), then a negative shifts to - 1.5 per mil (PDB). In some unit, where δ13C values of the rocks are negative, they have relatively high δ18O values close to -4.0‰ (PDB). These characteristics of the carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions may be associated with sea-level changes.

滇西富碱斑岩型多金属矿稀有气体同位素组成特征及地质意义*

通过对滇西富碱斑岩型多金属矿区稀有气体同位素组成的研究表明,黄铁矿和石英脉等流体包裹体中3He/4He值主要为0.160 8~3.470 0 Ra,远高于地壳特征值,而整体略低于地幔特征值;20Ne/22Ne和21Ne/22Ne平均值分别为11.271和0.032 2,接近地幔同位素组成;40Ar/36Ar和38Ar/36Ar平均值分别为395.51和0.197 6,均高于大气比值,而低于MORB比值;128~136Xe/130Xe值与大气相比均表现出过剩的特征。综合研究表明,滇西多金属矿区包裹体中稀有气体同位素组成在显示含矿流体的幔源特征的同时,又表现出强烈的地壳特征;成矿流体主要源于深部地幔,在参与交代蚀变过程中,其性质由熔浆向热液过渡,同时引发壳幔物质叠加混染,正是这种流体作用构成了滇西新生代富碱斑岩多金属成矿的内在统一制约因素。
