沙漠生物结皮土壤发育特征的研究

通过对沙漠生物结皮层相关的土壤特性研究表明,结皮层不仅具有明显的养分富集和细粒物质的聚集作用,而且结皮层腐殖质成份的含量以及其分子结构和复杂程度也在增加。腐殖质光学特性的变化趋势明显反映了不同地区结皮层土壤发育的地带性特征。结皮层持水量明显高于沙层,并对降水再分配有一定影响。     

Chemical properties of femoral gland secretions in the desert iguana,Dipsosaurus dorsalis

This study investigates the chemistry of femoral gland secretions in the desert iguana,Dipsosaurus dorsalis (Lacertilia: Iguanidae), and discusses their possible functional significance. Electrophoretic and proton NMR studies indicated that the secretions are composed of approximately 80 % protein and 20% lipid material. Individual differences in polyacrylamide gel banding patterns of femoral gland proteins were found. Reflectance spectroscopy revealed that the secretions strongly absorb longwave ultraviolet light, a feature that may be important in the localization of secretion deposits in the environment.     

毛乌素沙漠区广域适应型保水安全厚度计算及开采影响分区评价

毛乌素沙漠区多个近地表含水层支撑着区域生态环境、生产和生活,开展保水采煤研究势在必行。而"保水安全厚度"计算作为保水采煤研究的核心内容,由于各近地含水层的性质以及所处垂向位置的差异,导致了针对毛乌素沙漠区的保水安全厚度计算方法适用范围有限、缺乏统一性。通过分析毛乌素沙漠区内含隔水层在垂向和平面上的展布特征、水文地质性质,结合不同区域内的工程地质条件和开采方法,探讨了保水安全厚度的定义。将煤层之上地层划分为目标保护层、预测导水段(导水裂隙带发育段)和等效保水段(由有效黏土隔水层和基岩层组成的保水段)。利用水均衡法分析了黏土隔水层与基岩层间的保水性能关系,通过"保水比例系数"形成了黏土隔水层与基岩层间统一的等效保水段计算方法。建立了具有能够适用毛乌素沙漠区内"沙-基(岩)型开采区"、"沙-土-基(岩)型开采区"、"沙-土-洛(洛河组含水层)-基型开采区"、"烧变岩型开采区"等主要不同地质条件的保水安全厚度计算模型。根据导水裂隙带的发育高度与黏土隔水层、基岩层间的导通特征以及煤水间距与保水安全厚度的大小关系,制定了煤层开采影响的自然保水区、一般失水区和严重失水区的分区标准。并以榆神矿区小保当煤矿为例,应用建立的统一模型确定了小保当井田内砂-基型和砂-土-基型开采区内的保水安全厚度,并据此评价了煤层开采对潜水含水层的影响。所建立的保水安全开采厚度计算模型以及开采分区评价标准具有良好的适应性,也为保水采煤研究中有关保水安全厚度的计算和煤层开采对上覆含水层的影响评价提供了新思路。     

基于机器学习算法的AMSR-2地表温度降尺度研究

MODIS日尺度的地表温度受到天气影响,有效像元信息严重缺失,这对数据稀缺区域尤为重要。以古尔班通古特沙漠为研究区,探索了采用AMSR-2的垂直极化亮度温度与植被指数对地表温度空间降尺度的方法,并用此方法填补了2018年MODIS的缺失像元。(1)通过十折交叉验证,对4种机器学习算法（Cubist、DBN、SVM、RF）、10个波段组合、2个空间尺度（5 km、10 km）下的训练模型进行了分析,表明RF算法精度明显高于其他3种算法,C09波段组合的验证精度高于其他波段组合。(2)构建了2个鲁棒性的随机森林算法地表温度降尺度模型（5 km|RF|09、10 km|RF|09）,将AMSR-2亮度温度降尺度到1km分辨率,表明5 km|RF|09模型反演结果更为合理,MODIS与站点验证的R2分别为0.971、0.930,RMSE分别为3.38 K、4.71 K,MAE分别为2.51 K、3.84 K。(3)降尺度结果填补MODIS地表温度缺失像元,将其应用到古尔班通古特沙漠长时间序列的陆表温度分析,可为数据稀缺区域数据获取提供科学参考。     

Detoxification in Relation to Toxin Tolerance in Desert Woodrats Eating Creosote Bush

We studied the relationship between the use of three detoxification pathways and urine pH and the tolerance of desert woodrats from two populations to a mixture of naturally occurring plant secondary metabolites (mostly phenolics) in resin from creosote bush (Larrea tridentata). The two populations of desert woodrats came from the Mojave desert (Mojave woodrats), where woodrats consume creosote bush, and from the Great Basin desert (Great Basin woodrats), where the plant species is absent. We fed woodrats alfalfa pellets containing increasing levels of the phenolic resin and measured three detoxification pathways and urine pH that are related to detoxification of allelochemicals. We found that the excretion rate of two phase II detoxification conjugates, glucuronides and sulfides, increased with increasing resin intake, whereas excretion of hippuric acid was independent of resin intake, although it differed between populations. Urine pH declined with increasing resin ingestion. The molar proportion of glucuronides in urine was three times that of the other conjugates combined. Based on an evaluation of variation in the three detoxification pathways and urine pH in relation to resin intake, we rejected the hypotheses that woodrats' tolerance to resin intake is related to capacity for amination, sulfation, or pH regulation. However, Mojave woodrats had higher maximum glucuronide excretion rates, and we accepted the hypothesis that within and between populations woodrats tolerate more resin because they have a greater capacity for glucuronide excretion.     

Estimation of forest area near deserts — production of Global Bio-Methanol from solar energy

This paper proposes a new synthesis method for methanol as a future alternative fuel, by the combination of carbon supplied from wood and hydrogen supplied from the electrolysis of water using a solar power generation system in the desert. In the developed countries, more than half of the potential forest area has already been converted into other land uses, while existing forests are well organized and available for wood production. In the developing countries, potential forest sites are expected to be available for wood production, even though they are presently grasslands or secondary forests, while natural tropical forests will not be allowed to be converted into artificial forests. The area available for plantations within 500 km distant from deserts was estimated to be 65 Mha in the world, except for the mountain areas. Biomass production from these sites will be converted annually into 980 Mt methanol with hydrogen from the deserts. This amount is equal to 34% of the world's fuel consumption by vehicles.     

GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF POTENTIAL JURASSIC/CRETACEOUS SOURCE ROCKS IN THE SHUSHAN BASIN, NORTHERN WESTERN DESERT, EGYPT

Some 180 core and cuttings samples of shales and limestones from the Middle Jurassic – Late Cretaceous succession (Khatatba, Masajid, Alam El-Bueib, Alamein, Kharita, Bahariya and Abu Roash Formations) were collected from wells Ja 27–2, Tarek-1 and Jb 26–1 in the central, structurally-low part of the Shushan Basin and from well Lotus-1 in the structurally-elevated western part of the basin. All samples were screened for total organic carbon (TOC) content. Selected samples were then analyzed by Rock-Eval pyrolysis, and extracted for biomarker analyses. Visual kerogen analysis and vitrinite reflectance measurements were also undertaken and oil - source rock correlations were attempted. The results indicate that the thermal maturity of the samples can be correlated closely with burial depth. Samples from the central part of the basin are more mature than those from the west. Samples from the central part of the basin (except those from the Albian Kharita Formation) have reached thermal maturities sufficient to generate and expel crude oils. Extracts from the Middle Jurasic Khatatba and Early Cretaceous Alam El-Bueib Formations can be correlated with a crude oil sample from well Ja 27–2.
In well Lotus-1 in the west of the basin, four distinct organic facies can be recognized in the Jurassic-Cretaceous interval. One of the facies ("facies 4") has a sufficiently high TOC content to act as a source rock. Thermal maturities range from immature to peak oil generation, and the top of the oil window occurs at approximately 8000 ft.     

采用双掺法配制沙漠砂混凝土性能试验研究

运用同时掺加机制砂和高性能减水剂的"双掺法"制备了不同强度等级的沙漠砂混凝土,分析了高性能减水剂对沙漠砂混凝土性能的影响及不同强度等级下采用双掺法配制的沙漠砂混凝土与普通中砂混凝土坍落度及强度等性能上的区别。结果表明,高性能减水剂不仅能改善沙漠砂混凝土的和易性,且具有早强效果,并对最终强度的提高有一定帮助。双掺法制备的沙漠砂混凝土与同配合比的普通中砂混凝土相比,坍落度相差不大,在强度方面当所配混凝土强度等级较低时,二者的抗压强度相近;随着混凝土强度等级的提高,沙漠砂混凝土的抗压强度逐渐低于普通中砂混凝土。此外,与按照常规方法制备的沙漠砂混凝土相比,双掺法制备的沙漠砂混凝土的坍落度有很大提高。     

Two-and-a-Half Dimension Gravity Modeling to Delineate the Structures of the Western Abu Gharadig Basin,Western Desert,Egypt

abstract

The present study is a trial to carry out 2½-dimensional gravity modeling to confirm the structures and tectonics of the western Abu Gharadig Basin, Western Desert, Egypt. This is achieved by a sequence of procedures, started by establishing the trends of six 2½-dimensional residual gravity models, most of them passing through the available control wells. Two-and-a-half-dimensional gravity modeling of mass distributions in the subsurface of the study area was performed on the significant residual anomalies of the area, which had been separated from the unwanted regional field. They were separated using the average power spectrum method available in the suite of programs provided by Geosoft (1994). Such 2½-dimensional models were constructed to reveal the dissecting structures and to subdivide the sedimentary sequence of the area into 10 time-rock and rock units (Paleozoic and Jurassic sequences, Alamein-Shaltut, Kharita, Bahariya, Abu Roash, Khoman, Apollonia, and Dabaa), in addition to the underlying basement complex. Some seismic sections were used to help constrain the construction of 2½-dimensional models.

Two-and-a-half-dimensional gravity models were constructed after transferring the structural and geologic information (fault elements and depth values) of the two-dimensional gravity models to the base maps. In this way, 10 structural contour maps were established on the tops of the respective stratigraphic units. Generally, these maps reflect the considerable effect of the NE-SW and NW-SE trends as major directions of fracturing in the study area of the northern Western Desert of Egypt.
