Assessing ecological risks of heavy metals to marine organisms in the Jiulongjiang Estuary by species sensitivity distribution

采用物种敏感性分布法(SSd)构建常见重金属元素对海洋生物的SSd曲线,结合九龙江口水体5、8、11月份21个站位重金属调查数据,计算了九龙江口7种重金属(AS,Cd,Cr,Cu,Hg,Pb,zn)不同暴露浓度对海洋生物的潜在影响比例(PAf),并分析了在相应站位重金属复合污染生态风险(MSPAf)。结果表明,7种重金属中AS的生态风险最大(即PAf值最高);时间尺度上,5月份总的MSPAf较其他月份稍高;空间尺度上,西溪至海门岛(1~7号站位)污染较严重,其中又以位于西溪和玉枕洲的2号和5号站位的MSPAf为最。In the present work,a species sensitivity distribution( SSD) method was used to assess the ecological risk of common heavy metals to marine organisms.The ecological risk was characterized by potentially affected fraction( PAF) of species in relation to concentration of the toxic materials.According to the investigation data obtained at 21 stations in the Jiulongjiang Estuary in May,August and November,the PAFs of seven heavy metals( As,Cd,Cr,Cu,Hg, Pb,and Zn) to marine organisms were calculated.The results showed that As had the highest PAF among the seven heavy metals at each station of the Jiulongjiang Estuary.Spatially,the multi-substance PAF( msPAF) in May was higher than in other months.Temporally,the msPAF of the Stations 1-7( from the Xixi Stream to the Haimen Isle of the Jiulongjiang Estuary) suffered from heavier pollution.In particular,the pollution status of the Station 2 and Station 5 was the most serious among all the investigated stations.海洋公益性行业科研经费专项(201105015); 国家海洋局青年海洋科学基金项目(2011143); 国家自然科学基金项目(31101902); 福建省自然科学基金项目(2012J05074); 国家海洋局第三海洋研究所基本科研业务费专项(海三科2011006)资

将气相色谱-负离子化学电离质谱法(GC-NC I-M S)应用于蔬菜水果中9种有机磷农药残留的分析测定,初步解析了这些农药的NC I-M S特征阴离子结构和断裂机理,并初步探讨了GC-NC I-M S分析蔬菜水果中有机磷农药残留时基体效应的影响。采用空白样品基体匹配校准曲线法(M C)进行定量分析,有效地降低了基体效应的影响。蔬菜水果样品用乙酸乙酯超声提取,以乙硫磷为内标物,采用GC-NC I-M S的选择离子监测方式(S IM)进行定性和定量分析。9种有机磷农药的方法检测限为0.12~1.0μg/kg。在方法的检测限与1 000μg/kg范围内,线性相关系数都大于0.999 3。当空白蔬菜水果(西红柿)样品的加标水平为100,400,800μg/kg时,平均加标回收率为78%~126%,相对标准偏差为0.58%~14.7%。An analytical method of gas chromatography coupled with negative ion chemical ionization-mass spectrometry for simultaneous determination of nine organophosphorus pesticide residues in vegetables and fruit has been developed,and the negative ions structure and partition mechanism of the nine organophosphorus pesticides were interpreted.Meanwhile,the matrix effect for sample analysis was discussed,and matrix-matched calibration for quantification was introduced to reduce the matrix effect in this method.Pesticides were extracted from sample with ethyl acetate in an ultrasonic bath,then determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry operated in negative chemical ionization mode and quantified in selective ion monitoring mode,and ethion was used as an internal standard.The detection limits of the method were 0.12-1.0 μg/kg for the nine organophosphorus pesticides,and the relative coefficients were higher than(0.9993).A blank sample(tomato) was spiked at 100,400,800 μg/kg for each pesticide,and the recoveries were determined to be from 78% to 126% with relative standard deviations from 0.58% to 14.7% for the pesticides

We report genome-wide data from 166 East Asians dating to 6000 BCE-1000 CE and 46 present-day groups. Hunter-gatherers from Japan, the Amur River Basin, and people of Neolithic and Iron Age Taiwan and the Tibetan plateau are linked by a deeply-splitting lineage likely reflecting a Late Pleistocene coastal migration. We follow Holocene expansions from four regions. First, hunter-gatherers of Mongolia and the Amur River Basin have ancestry shared by Mongolic and Tungusic language speakers but do not carry West Liao River farmer ancestry contradicting theories that their expansion spread these proto-languages. Second, Yellow River Basin farmers at ～3000 BCE likely spread Sino-Tibetan languages as their ancestry dispersed both to Tibet where it forms up ～84% to some groups and to the Central Plain where it contributed ～59-84% to Han Chinese. Third, people from Taiwan ～1300 BCE to 800 CE derived ～75% ancestry from a lineage also common in modern Austronesian, Tai-Kadai and Austroasiatic speakers likely deriving from Yangtze River Valley farmers; ancient Taiwan people also derived ～25% ancestry from a northern lineage related to but different from Yellow River farmers implying an additional north-to-south expansion. Fourth, Yamnaya Steppe pastoralist ancestry arrived in western Mongolia after ～3000 BCE but was displaced by previously established lineages even while it persisted in western China as expected if it spread the ancestor of Tocharian Indo-European languages. Two later gene flows affected western Mongolia: after ～2000 BCE migrants with Yamnaya and European farmer ancestry, and episodic impacts of later groups with ancestry from Turan.We thank David Anthony, Ofer Bar-Yosef, Katherine Brunson, Rowan Flad, Pavel Flegontov,Qiaomei Fu, Wolfgang Haak, Iosif Lazaridis, Mark Lipson, Iain Mathieson, Richard Meadow,Inigo Olalde, Nick Patterson, Pontus Skoglund, Dan Xu, and the four reviewers for valuable comments.

Progress of High-Resolution Liquid NMR Spectroscopy in Inhomogeneous and Unstable Fields

高分辨核磁共振(nuClEAr MAgnETIC rESOnAnCE,nMr)谱的获得通常需要高度稳定且均匀的强静磁场.阻抗磁体或阻抗-超导混合磁体可获得比超导磁体高得多的磁场,但它们的磁场的稳定性与均匀性比较差;另一方面,在活体定域波谱研究中,样品内部组分的磁化率差异,运动或生理活动等作用将不可避免地导致磁场的不均匀不稳定,并且这些不稳定不均匀性无法通过锁场匀场等传统的方法消除.基于分子间零量子相干的方法、空间编码单扫描快速方法、反卷积技术等日渐成为在不均匀不稳定磁场下获取高分辨率的nMr谱的研究热点.Strong and extremely homogeneous and stable static magnetic fields are usually required for high-resolution NMR.However,large inhomogeneity and drift of the magnetic fields exist in the resistive and hybrid magnets which can provide much higher magnetic fields than the superconducting counterpart.On the other hand,the susceptibility gradients and physiological motions in in vivo studies produce inhomogeneous and unstable magnetic fields.Therefore,the inhomogeneous and instable magnetic fields in the non-ideal condition are unavoidable and can hardly be eliminated by conventional methods such as shimming and locking.Some approaches had been proposed to obtain high-resolution NMR spectra in the inhomogeneous and instable field,such as intermolecular zero quantum coherences (iZQCs),spatially encoding single-scan scheme and deconvolution.In the paper,these four methods were discussed.国家自然科学基金资助项目(10774125;10974164
