Cretaceous choristoderan reptiles gave birth to live young

Viviparity (giving birth to live young) in fossil reptiles has been known only in a few marine groups: ichthyosaurs, pachypleurosaurs, and mosasaurs. Here, we report a pregnant specimen of the Early Cretaceous Hyphalosaurus baitaigouensis, a species of Choristodera, a diapsid group known from unequivocal fossil remains from the Middle Jurassic to the early Miocene (about 165 to 20 million years ago). This specimen provides the first evidence of viviparity in choristoderan reptiles and is also the sole record of viviparity in fossil reptiles which lived in freshwater ecosystems. This exquisitely preserved specimen contains up to 18 embryos arranged in pairs. Size comparison with small free-living individuals and the straight posture of the posterior-most pair suggest that those embryos were at term and had probably reached parturition. The posterior-most embryo on the left side has the head positioned toward the rear, contrary to normal position, suggesting a complication that may have contributed to the mother’s death. Viviparity would certainly have freed species of Hyphalosaurus from the need to return to land to deposit eggs; taking this advantage, they would have avoided intense competition with contemporaneous terrestrial carnivores such as dinosaurs.

牛仔布生产浆染废水混凝预处理试验

选用FeSO4和PAC（聚合氯化铝）两种絮凝剂,对浆染废水进行烧杯混凝试验,在此基础上考察了实际工程处理效果。结果表明,FeS04和PAC对浆染废水COD去除率和脱色率分别可达74．2％、68．1％和92．4％、87．8％。实际运行结果也显示,FeSO4和PAC均可作为浆染废水混凝预处理絮凝剂,其中FeSO4的混凝效果优于PAC,处理后出水pH和COD值满足厌氧酸化池微生物生长需要和负荷要求。

磷矿山清洁生产评价指标体系的构建——以贵阳市磷矿山为例

通过对磷矿山清洁生产评价指标选取原则和筛选方法的确定。并结合磷矿山的实际情况,经过多次专家咨询,从而筛选出适合磷矿山清洁生产的具体评价指标。并按层次分析法（AHP）的特点确定目标层、准则层、指标层、指标因子层四个层次,其中,目标层有1项;准则层有6项;指标层有28项;指标因子层有9项,最后建立磷矿山清洁生产评价指标体系,这将为磷矿采选业清洁生产评价提供技术支持和导向,从而有助于磷矿企业推行清洁生产技术,实现可持续发展。     

东莞市不同产业类型城镇周边菜地土壤重金属污染研究

文章为了分析东莞市在快速工业化和城市化情况下城镇周边菜地重金属积累现状、污染程度及其分布特点,对东莞市6个镇区46个菜地样地土壤重金属进行了调查、检测和分析。结果发现Zn、Cu、Cd和Pb检测值大都超过广东省背景值,而cd污染最重,67．4％的样地综合污染已经超过了警戒水平。研究发现菜地土壤重金属污染虽然有某种复合型,但程度较弱,检测元素大多没有关联性,结果也表明Zn、Cu、Cd和Cr的分布不受镇区位置的影响,而可能更多是受采样点微环境的影响。     

Thermochemical pretreatment of meat and bone meal and its effect on methane production

Since the solubilization of meat and bone meal (MBM) is a prerequisite in many MBM disposal approaches, enhancement of the solubilization by means of thermochemical pretreatment was investigated in this study at two temperatures (55°C and 131°C) and six sodium hydroxide (NaOH) concentrations (0, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10 and 20 g/L). The MBM volatile solid (VS) reduction ratio was up to 66% and 70% at 55°C and 131°C, respectively. At the same temperature, the VS reduction ratio increased with the increase in the dosage of NaOH. The study on the methane (CH₄) production potential of pretreated MBM shows that the addition of NaOH at 55°C did not cause the inhibition of the succeeding CH₄ production process. However, CH₄ production was inhibited by the addition of NaOH at 131°C. The CH₄ production potential was in the range of 389 to 503 mL CH₄/g VS MBM and 464 to 555 mL CH₄/g VS MBM at 55°C and 131°C, respectively.
