Abstract:
More than 50% of the typhoons landing in China have landed on the southeast coast, where they have caused great pressure on the coastal environment. Seagrass, one of the most important constituents of coastal ecosystems, is also greatly affected by t...
Measurements of ocean wave spectrum from airborne radar at small incidence angles

2011, (1): 40-46. doi: 10.1007/s13131-011-0089-4
Abstract:
This paper proposes the retrieval method of ocean wave spectrum for airborne radar observations at small incidence angles, which is slightly modified from the method developed by Hauser. Firstly, it makes use of integration method to estimate total m...

Abstract:
Quantitative morphologic analysis of shallowly buried, dendritic channel systems in the continental shelf off the abandoned Huanghe River (Yellow River) mouth has been made based on interpretation of high resolution seismic profiles, with the attempt...
Heat flow pattern, base of methane hydrates stability zones and BSRs in Shenhu Area, northern South China Sea
ZHANG Yi, HE Lijuan, WANG Jiyang, XU Xing, SHA Zhibing, GONG Yuehua, WANG Hongbing, LIANG Jinqiang
2011, (1): 59-67. doi: 10.1007/s13131-011-0091-x
Abstract:
Using the collected 433 heat flow values, we estimated the bases of methane hydrate stability zone (BHSZ), in northern South China Sea (NSCS). Through comparing BHSZs with the depths of bottom simulating reflectors (BSRs), in Shenhu Area (SA), we fou...
Molecular cloning, characterization and expression analysis of Sox9a and Foxl2 genes in half-smooth tongue sole (Cynoglossussemilaevis)
DONG Xiaoli, CHEN Songlin, JI Xiangshan, SHAO Changwei
2011, (1): 68-77. doi: 10.1007/s13131-011-0092-9
Abstract:
Two transcription factors, Sox9a and Foxl2 were cloned from half-smooth tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis). Sox9a is a new duplication of C.semilaevis Sox9 gene. The complete cDNA of Sox9a gene was 1 842 bp long coding for 487 amino acids and Foxl2...
