During the hiatus period, the heat trapped by the atmospheric CO2 is going mostly to the ocean. This conclusion is supported by comparison of the CO2 trend with the trend in the ocean heat content. The phase relationships between the CO2 and temperature are more complicated after the removal of the trends. The phase relationships are chaotic on time scales shorter than the annual time scale. During 1986-2008, the atmospheric CO2 changed in an-ti-phase with the global temperature. The phase relationship reversed in 1979 and after 2010. The atmospheric CO2 was in-phase with the global temperature on the El Nino time scale (2.3 - 7 years) except during very strong El Nino years in 1991-1999 when CO2 led the global temperature.展开更多

The topological indices of twenty asymmetrical phosphone bisazo derivatives of chromotropic acid were calculated. The work shows that QSPR can be used as a novel aid to predict the molar absorptivities of color reactions and in the long term to be helpful tool in color reagent design. Multiple regression analysis and neural network were employed simultaneously in this study. The results demonstrated the feasibility and the effectiveness of the method.展开更多

The results indicate that in Linear free energy relationship formula 1gK(ex) = rho Sigma sigma(Phi) + psi Sigma upsilon + h generally follows for this kind of extraction systems. Accordingly, the quantitative structure-behaviour relationships of extractants are discussed. These relationships can be preliminarily applied to predict the 1gK(ex) values of rare earth extraction with definite structures of this class of extractants, and thus can provide some directions for the design of new RE extractants.展开更多

For middle latitude permafrost regions of the Tibetan Plateau, further research is required to ascertain its potential development of gas hydrates. This paper reviewed pertinent literature on gas hydrates in the Tibetan Plateau. Both geological and ge- ographical data are synthesized to reveal the relationship between gas hydrate formation and petroleum geological evo- lution, Plateau uplift, formation of permafrost, and glacial processes. Previous studies indicate that numerous residual basins in the Plateau have been formed by original sedimentary basins accompanied by rapid uplift of the Plateau. Ex- tensive marine Mesozoic hydrocarbon source rocks in these basins could provide rich sources of materials forming gas hydrates in permafrost. Primary hydrocarbon-generating period in the Plateau is from late Jurassic to early Cretaceous, while secondary hydrocarbon generation, regionally or locally, occurs mainly in the Paleogene. Before rapid uplift of the Plateau, oil-gas reservoirs were continuously destroyed and assembled to form new reservoirs due to structural and thermal dynamics, forcing hydrocarbon migration. Since 3.4 Ma B.P., the Plateau has undergone strong uplift and extensive gla- ciation, periglacier processes prevailed, hydrocarbon gas again migrated, and free gas beneath ice sheets within sedi- mentary materials interacted with water, generating gas hydrates which were finally preserved under a cap formed by frozen layers through rapid cooling in the Plateau. Taken as a whole, it can be safely concluded that there is great temporal and spatial coupling relationships between evolution of the Tibetan Plateau and generation of gas hydrates.展开更多

The first generation of rare earth-transition group permanent magnet alloy RECo5 developed in 1970's started using rare earths as substantial components. Because of the need of product diversity and to utilize rich resources of mixed rare earth metals, researchers are working on substitution of expensive elemental rare earth metals with cheaper cerium or mixed rare earths (rich in cerium, lanthanum or neodymium) to make lower cost permanent - magnet such as CeCo5.

[ Method] Based on the concept of "healthy lakes" analyzed deeply, the fuzzy integrated evaluation was used to establish the evaluation index system of lake health, and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) com- bined with expert evaluation method was used to determine the weight of each indicator. Afterwards, the health state of three typical lakes ( San- baidang, Beimayang and Qiaobeidang) in Wujiang City were evaluated by the system, and the measures to develop and protect the lakes were put forward finally. E Resultl The assessment results showed that Sanbaidang and Beimayang were in basic health, while Qiaobeidang was in sub- health. The indicator system and assessment method are suitable for the rivers in eastern plains of China.[ Conclusion] The research could provide scientific references for the development, protection and restoration of lakes.展开更多
