~(10)BE AND THE ACCUMULATIONEVOLUTION OF LOESS

We report here a first series of ~(10)Be measurements on loess samples covering the last 750,000 years. The close correlation of the ~(10)Be data with δ~(18)O variations from deep sea cores allows for establishing a preliminary time scale. Based on this time scale accumulation rates and ~(10)Be fluxes can be calculated. The accumulation-evolution of loess is also discussed in terms of a simple qualitative model of ~(10)Be.     

FORMATION AGE OF MALAN LOESS DATED BY THERMOLUMINESCENCE

Described in this paper is the basic principle of quartz thermoluminescence (TL) dating of loess. Also discussed is the effect of sunlight on the storage of energy in quartz lattice, which will be used to determine the starting point of energy storage. The application of TL technique to loess dating is based on this principle. The determined ages of loess samples from six profiles are presented, together with the data previously published. The results show that the formation age of Malan loess is 100,000 yr B. P.     

STUDY OF THE MECHANISM OF LOESS COLLAPSE

In this paper, firstly, the amount of collapsible space is statistically determined from the pore-size distributions of loess slices before and after collapse by using a polarizing microscope. Then, the characteristics of the structure and the copulation of loess grains are studied, and the copulations which decrease in strength upon contact with water are discovered. Lastly, by studying the joint action of external causes——a certain load and a certain moisture content——and internal conditions, the mechanism of loess collapse is advanced.     

THE TYPES OF LOESS PORES IN CHINA AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH COLLAPSIBILITY

This paper presents chiefly a classification of the loess pores in the Loess Platcau according to their origin and size and deals with the characteristics of different sorts of pores and their distributional regularities in regions and loess layers of various ages. The relationship between various pores and collapsibility is also discussed in the paper. We come tto a conclusion that the supporting openings are one of the important factors causing the subsidence on wetting because of their looseness and unstability.     

中国黄土石英中的~(10)Be研究——Ⅰ.“自身成因~(10)Be”与黄土源区侵蚀速率

对于0.2Ma以来的黄土堆积物,其石英“自身成因~(10)Be”主要来源于源区初始~(10)Be,载带着源区侵蚀速率变化信息。中国洛川黄土剖面GL 47(L_1),GL83(L_2)两样品石英“自身成因~(10)Be”浓度分别为5×10~5原子/g,2.2×10~6原子/g。据此计算的源区侵蚀速率为:L_1期(10—90ka),ε_(BeL_1)=1.5×10~(-3)cm/a;L_2期(130—190k a),ε_(BeL_2)=3.8×10~(-4)cm/a。更深层位黄土石英“自身成因~(10)Be”研究可望用于黄土地层测年。     

CHANGES OF QUATERNARY CLIMATE OF LOESS DISTRICT IN CHINA

On the basis of the data of sporo-pollen analysis, the weathering index of loess and paleosol layers and the climatic differences between the periods of the formation of loess and paleosol as reflected by intensities of natural remanent magnetization of loess and paleosol, it may be confirmed that the loess layers represent the climate of glacial stages, while paleosol was formed during interglacial stages. The climatic changes in the loess area of China have undergone 23 cycles which were combined with the paleomagnetic dating. TL ages of paleosol layers and the average ages of termination could be excellently correlated with the δ~(18)O stages of deep sea core V_(28-239). Thus, it may be recognized that the Luochuan and Xi'an loess-paleosol sequences are the typical climatostratigraphy in China and even in the world.     

MAGNETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY OF CHINESE LOESS AS A PALAEOCLIMATIC INDICATOR

Through the studies on low temperature susceptibility, frequency dependent susceptibility, isothermal remanent magnetization, low temperature magnetization and demagnetization for loess and palaeosols one can easily reveal some significant characters of rock magnetism for the magnetic minerals of ultrafine grain sizes, those are very difficult to identify by general geological methods. It is shown in the present study that both loess and palaeosols cover magnetic grain size from superparamagnetism, single domain to multidomain. Loess samples with relative high peramagnetic minerals are dominantly of thermally stable characteristics while palaeosols have relatively high percentage of superparamagnetic grain (0.01—0.03μm). The relative grain size of magnetite is always finer in palaeosol with higher susceptibility than in loess, indicating that many tiny ferri-ferromagnetic minerals formed during the process of soll formation, which has caused a higher susceptibility in palaeosols than in loess. The cli     

FLUORIMETRIC DETERMINATION OF TETRACYCLINE IN SERUM AND URINE

The Eu-Tetracycline(TC)-TOPO-sodium dodecyl sulfonate(SDS)system wasstudied,Experiments showed that the maximum fluorescence intensity was obtainedin the pH range of 7.5-8.7 and the concentrations of Eu~(a+),TOPO and SDS are1.0×10~(-6)mol/L,1.0×10~(-8)mol/L and 1.0×10~(-8)mol/L,respectively,This fluorescencesystem can be used for the determination of TC in serum and urine,Beer's Law isobeyed in the range of 2.0×10~(-8)mol/L=1.0×10~(-6)mol/L for the concentration of TC.The determination limit is 1.2×10~(-8)mol/L,The composition and the luminescencemechanism were discussed.     

CRYSTAL STRUCTURE INVESTIGATION OF VANADYL COMPLEXES OF TRIDENTATE LIGAND (Ⅱ)——SYNTHESE AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF 1-(2-PYRIDYLAZO)-2-NAPHTHOLATO-DIOXOVANADIUM (Ⅴ) DIMER [VO_2(C_(15)H_(10)N_3O)]_2(H_2O_2)(CHCl_3)_2 AND PYRIDINE-(1-(2-PYRIDYLAZO)-2-NAPH

The title complexes crystallize in space groups C(?)-P(?) and C_(2h)~5-P2_1/c, and with unit cell parameters a=8.488. b=10.100, c=11.974. α=72.73°, β=78.56°, γ=73.55°, and a=11.496, b=9.883. c=16.360, β=100.18°, respectively. All the V coordinates are obtained from Patterson and direct methods, respectively, and then Fourier and difference Fourier methods are employed to deduce other non-hydrogen atoms. Structural parameters are refined with least-squares technic, yielding final discrepancy factors R=0.081 and 0.067, respectively. Structural analyses demonstrate that the dimer of VO_2~+ complex is formed through the sixth-position bonding of a bridge oxygen atom of one VO_2~+ group with another VO_2~+, and the formation of VO(O_2)(C_(15)H_(10)N_3O)(C_5H_5N) shows that VO~(2+) complex with strong chelating tridentate PAN-seems less difficult to transform into the pentagonal bipyramid VO~(3+) complex. Since no peroxo species has been used in the synthesis, the fact that a peroxo group forms in the     

FISSION TRACK AGES AND UPLIFT RATES OF THE SOUTH XIZANG (TIBET) REGION

The geological ages of Lhasa, Kangmar and Gaowu rock bodies of Xizang (Tibet) have been determined by fission track method. The results are: 25.5—27.2, 10.7—11.5, 8.06—9.19 Ma respectively. It is found that the fission track (FT) age of apatite increases with the elevation of sample. Calculated by the ages-topographic altitude method, the uplift rates of the above three rock bodies are 0.25, 0.45, and 0.49 mm/a respectively. On the basis of the fission track age and the published isotopic age data, the uplift rates of other regions have been calculated by the mineral pair-blocking temperatures method. The lowest is 0.08 mm/a and the highest 2.4 mm/a. We found that the uplift rates of different regions in the same period are distinet, and the uplift rates of different geological times in the same region also are not alike. This situation shows that the Xizang region has a complex geological and unroofing history due to the collision of the India and Eurasian plates.     

THE POLAROGRAPHIC ADSORPTIVE COMPLEX WAVES OF RARE EARTHS WITH CARBOXYNITRAZO (CNA)~*

The single-sweep polarographic adsorptive complex wave of Nd~(3+)-CNA and the differential pulse polarographic wave of La~(3+)-CNA are studied. 5×10~(-7)-8×10~(-6) M Nd~(3+) and 1×10~(-8)-1×10~(-6) M La~(3+) can be determined respectively. Lanthanum content in leaves of water-cultured cucumber has been determined. Experimental facts showed that CNA and the complex of Nd~(3+)-CNA can be adsorbed on the mercury electrode. The reduction mechanism of the adsorptive complex wave is proposed.     

SEDIMENTO-DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HUANGHE (YELLOW) RIVER SUBAQUEOUS DELTA

The runoff of the Huanghe contains a great amount of suspended load and forms the high-density underflows (hyperpycnal currents) at the river mouth. The sediments over the subaqneous delta are mainly transported by the underflow. The sediment texture gradually get fining seawards, which relates to the attenuation of the hyperpycnal currents and hypopycnal plumes. Being hydraulically equivalent to the medlum-silt-sized quartz, which is the dominant component in the sediments, the clastic mica concentrates on the delta. The maximum thickness of the subaqueous delta is about 16m and the period of accumulation lasted from 12 to 16 years, therefore its sedimentary rate ranges from 110 to 130 cm/a.     

MICROSCOPIC MECHANISM OF STRENGTH REDUCTION OF ROCKS

Uniaxial compression tests have been conducted on Jinan gabbro at six different axial strain rates ranging from 10~(-8)/s to 10~(-3)/s. Results show that the strength decreases by about 23% with decreasing strain rate. The stress level C_0~' /or the onset of dilatancy is constant for six strain rates. When σ_1>C_o~' ε_1 and D increase with decreasing strain rate (?) under a specific stress level.Microscopic observations on the stressed rock samples reveal that the density of microcracks for the samples loaded at low strain rates is higher than that at high strain rates; in addition there are also cracks nearly perpendicular to it, which is responsible for the increase of D value.The creep test under the stress σ_(σ_1>C_0~') confirms that the growth of microcracks in the rock has been time-dependent effects, and the steady-state creep with (?)=constant developed until the rock fails.Summing up the above reslts shows that when σ>C_0~', the constitution law of the rockswill be time-dependent, and the     

STUDY OF THE FLUORESCENCE ENHANCEMENT IN THE SYSTEM OF EUROPIUM-OR SAMAR-IUM-TERBIUM-DIBENZOYLMETHANE-CETYLTRIMETHYLAMMONIUM BROMIDE-TRITON X-100 AND ITS APPLICATION

A fluorescence enhancement phenomenon on adding terbium to the Eu or Sm-DBM-CTMAB-Triton X-100 fluorescence system was observed. The fluorescence intensity of this system was 50 times greater than that of the system without terbium at pH 9.0. The fluorescence intensity is a linear function of the concentration of europium or samarium in the range of 1.0×10~(-10)-8.0×10~(-6) mol/L and 1.0×10~(-7)-8.0×10~(-6) mol/L, respectively. The deteetion limits for them were 1.0×10~(-12) mol/L and 1.0×10~(-9) mol/L, respectively. This system was used for the determination of europium or samarium in rare earth samples with satisfactory results.     

STUDIES ON VOLTAMMETRIC BEHAVIOUR OF 2-ANTIEPILEPSIRINE

In a supporting electrolyte containing 0.6mol/L H_2SO_4,asensitivity derivative wave of 2-AES is formed by oscillopolarography.Thepeak potential is-1.01V(vs.SCE),The change of peak height with theconcentration of 2-AES is linear in the range from 3.0×10~(-7) to8.0×10~(-6)mol/L.The detection limit is 1.0×10~(-7)mol/L.The electrodereaction mechanism is discussed.     

KINETIC AND APPLICATION: STUDIES ON THE REACTION SYSTEM OF OSMIUM(Ⅳ)-ARSENIC(Ⅲ)-CHLORATE

The experiments have proved that Os(Ⅳ) has very strong catalytic effect on the chlorate oxidation of As(Ⅲ) in perchloric acid media, and As(Ⅲ) exhibits a sensitive single-sweep oscillopolarographic wave at-0.75 V vs. SCE. The kinetics of this catalytic reaction has been investigated by the initial rate procedure. The mechanism has been proposed. A new and highly sensitive catalytic reaction-oscillopolarographic method for the determination of ultratrace amounts of osmium has been described, based on the Os(Ⅳ) catalytic effect on the reaction. The linear range of 5.0×10~(-11)-4.4×10~(-9) mol/L and 6.0×10~(-9)-1.3×10~(-7) mol/L Os was obtained using the fixed-time procedure and the initial rate procedure, respectively. Osmium in refined ore was analysed by this method.     

SOLUTION PROPERTIES OF ANTITUMOR CARBOXYMETHYLATED DERIVATIVES OF α-(1→3)-D-GLUCAN FROM GANODERMA LUCIDUM

Fractions of a water insoluble α-(1→3)-D-glucan (GL) extracted from Ganoderma lucidum were carboxy-methylated (CM) to obtain water-soluble carboxymethylated derivatives (CM-GL) having a degree of substitution (DS) of0.38～0.51. Weight-average molecular weight M_w and intrinsic viscosity [η] of the samples CM-GL were measured by gelpermeation chromatography combined with laser light scattering (GPC-LLS) and viscometry. The CM-GL exhibits a stifferchain in aqueous solution at 25℃ than the original glucan, The antitumor activities against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC,5×10~6) of the carboxymethylated derivatives from the α-glucan and curdlan, a β-glucan, are significantly higher than thoseof the original glucans. The effects of the relatively low molecular weight, expanded chains and better water-solubility of theCM-GL on the enhancement of antitumor activity could not be neglected. The chain stiffness decreased speedily withincrease of temperature from 40 to 60℃ or NaOH concentration from 0.1 to 0.4 in the solution, respectively, and the changeof the chain stiffness is reversible.     

CRITICAL CONCENTRATIONS OF α(1→3)-D-GLUCAN FROM LENTINUS EDODES IN NaOH AQUEOUS SOLUTION

Critical concentrations of α-(1→3)-D-glucan L-FV-Ⅱ from Lentinus edodes were studied by viscometry andfluorescence probe techniques. The dependence of the reduced viscosity on concentration of the glucan in 0.5 mol/L NaOHaqueous solutions with or without urea showed two turning points corresponding to the dynamic contact concentration c_s andthe overlap concentration c~* of the polymer. The values of c_s and c~* were found to be 1×10~(-3) g cm~(-3) and 1.1×10~(-2) g cm~(-3),respectively, for L-FV-Ⅱ in 0.5 mol/L NaOH aqueous solutions. The two critical concentrations of L-FV-Ⅱ in 0.5 mol/LNaOH aqueous solutions were also found to be 1.2×10~(-3) g cm~(-3) fbr c_s and 9.2×10~(-3) g cm~(-3) for c~* from the concentrationdependence of phenanthrene fluorescence intensities. The overlap concentration c~* of L-FV-Ⅱ in 0.5 mol/L NaOH aqueoussolutions was lower than that of polystyrene with same molecular weight in benzene, owing to the fact that polysaccharidetends to undergo aggregation caused by intermolecular hydrogen bonding. A normal viscosity behavior of L-FV-Ⅱ in 0.5 mol/L urea/0.5 mol/L NaOH aqueous solutions can still be observed in an extremely low concentration range at 25℃.     

PRELIMINARY STUDY OF HYDROCARBONS GENERATED FROM FUSHUN COAL RESINITE (Ⅰ)——PRODUCTIVITY AND NATURE OF HYDROCARBONS

Thermal simulation experiments were conducted to understand the productivity of hydrocarbons andtheir nature. It is shown by the experimental results that coal resinite has a high productivity of hydro-carbons and may be a good source rock, resulting in light oils of low maturity in early stage. Naturalgases generated from coal resinite are rich in high molecular weight gas hydrocarbons (C_2~+), up to 19%(V/V). So, if natural gases were generated from coal formation which is rich in resinites, they cannotbe recognized as dry gases as normal. Characteristics of liquid hydrocarbons generated from coal resinitesare: (i) main composition of aromatics in extracts, of which the amount will increase with increasingmaturity; (ii) major compounds of diterpenoids in aliphatics.     

EFFECT OF IRRADIATION TEMPERATURE ON GENERAL EQUATION OF SOL FRACTION-DOSE RELATIONSHIP FOR FLUOROPOLYMERS

In this paper, the effect of irradiation temperature on sol fraction-dose relationship of tluoropolymers was studied. It was found that the increasing of irradiation temperature can result in the decreasing of βvalue of fluoropolymer, which increases the crosslinking probability of fluoropolymer. The relationship between crosslinking parameter βand irradiation temperature (T_i)of fluoropolymer is established as follows:β=2.2×10~(-3) T_g+4×10~(-4)(T_g-T_i)+0.206.values of some tluoropolymers calculated from the above expression are in agreement with the experimental values.
