Isotope ratio measurements have become extremely precise in recent years, with many approaching parts-per-million (ppm) levels of precision. However, seemingly innocuous errors signal baselines, which exist only when gas enters the instrument, might lead to significant errors. These "pressure-baseline" (PBL) offsets may a variety origins, such as incoherent scattering analyte, isobaric interferences, or electron ablation from walls flight tube. They are probably present all but...

Investigation of climatic conditions prior to the Sturtian glaciations is critical understanding trigger mechanism for series Neoproterozoic global glaciations. In this study, we report high-resolution chemical index alteration (CIA) records in sediments South China glaciation (820~720 Ma). Our results showed there occurred multiple climate cooling before China: (1) a episodic and possibly periods from ca. 750 Ma 725 Ma, which also caused some diachronous regional glaciations; (2) permanent...

We describe an approach for determining biological N2 production in soils based on the proportions of naturally occurring 15N15N N2. Laboratory incubation experiments reveal that production, whether by denitrification or anaerobic ammonia oxidation, yields are within 1‰ predicted a random distribution 15N and 14N atoms. This relatively invariant isotopic signature contrasts with atmosphere, which has excess 19.1 ± 0.1‰. Depth profiles gases agricultural from Kellogg Biological Station...

Isotope fractionation resulting from gas diffusion along a thermal gradient has always been considered entirely mass-dependent. A previous report, however, showed that non-mass-dependent (17)O anomalies can be generated simply by subjecting O(2) in an enclosure to gradient. To explore the underlying mechanism for anomalies, we tested effect of pressure, duration experiment, and geometry apparatus on as well (33)S or (36)S SF(6) gas. The results are consistent with our proposal previously...

The Antarctic ice cap significantly affects global ocean circulation and climate. Continental glaciogenic sedimentary deposits provide direct physical evidence of the glacial history interior, but these data are sparse. Here we investigate a new indicator sheet evolution: sulfates within from Lewis Cliff Ice Tongue central Transantarctic Mountains. exhibit unique isotope signatures, including δ34S up to +50‰ for mirabilite evaporites, Δ17O +2.3‰ dissolved sulfate contemporary melt-water...

The quality of Ti alloy casing is crucial for the safe and stable operation aero engines. However, fluctuation key process parameters during investment casting titanium casings has a significant influence on volume number porosity defects, this cannot be effectively suppressed at present. Therefore, paper proposes strategy to control shrinkage number. This study constructed multiple regression prediction models neural network ZTC4 by simulating gravity process. results show that model cavity...

Abstract Cryogenic or heating methods have been widely used in experiments involving gas purification isolation and studying phase changes among solids, liquids, gases for more than a century. Thermal gradients are often present these routine processes. While stable isotopes of an element known to fractionate under thermal gradient, the largely diffusion‐driven fractionation is assumed be entirely mass‐dependent. We report here, however, that distinct non‐mass‐dependent oxygen isotope can...

Abstract The Steptoean Positive Carbon Isotope Excursion (SPICE) is globally distributed in late Cambrian sedimentary records but controversially heterogeneous its magnitudes. Here we use multiple geochemical proxies to investigate the carbonates from Tangwangzhai section North China, which were deposited a shallow coastal environment with three depositional sequences (S1–S3). Each sequence comprises transgressive systems tract (TST) and highstand (HST). REE + Y trace element are consistent...
