Concentrations, deposition rates and source variations of n-alkanes in Sofiyskiy Glacier, Russian Altai Mountains

Snow and ice samples collected from a snow pit and underlying ice layers in Sofiyskiy Glacier, Russian Altai Mountains, were analyzed for n-alkanes by gas chromatography. The total concentrations of n-alkanes (T-HCs) widely ranged from 0.67 to 9.86ng g^ in the samples. Annual deposition fluxes of n-alkanes showed a seasonal variation with higher levels during spring than autumn. The values of carbon preference index (CPI) of n-alkanes ranged from 0.95 to 3.35, which were similar to those reported for snow samples in Himalaya and urban aerosols. The higher values among them were close to those reported of n-alkanes in loess particles, which were of plant wax origin. Both the 3.00-7.57m and the 12.14-16.80m layers had higher concentrations and annual deposition fluxes of non-WaxC_n, suggesting that the relative contribution of anthropogenic n-alkanes, for example, fossilfuel combustion products, to Sofiyskiy Glacier would increase in recent years. The WaxC_n representing a portion of n-alkanes derived from plant waxes in T-HCs widely ranged from 7.3 to 65.5% in these samples. It is evident that n-alkanes of plant waxes could contribute less than 50% to T-HCs in most samples at this glacier.application/pdfjournal articl

Distribution of first bites (i.e., the first contact of each insect with the source) performed by intact (n = 34) and unilaterally antennectomized bugs (n = 34 left+34 right) in relation to the position of the heated wire.

<p>Only intact insects directed their bites correctly towards the heat source, whereas bugs lacking one antenna missed the goal and addressed their bites in the direction of the remaining antenna. Fully antennectomized insects (n = 20) did not respond at all and for this reason they have not been included in the plot.</p

Sample records of the distance from an initial sequence of bites to the linear thermal source, performed by insects in an assay in which the linear source was 3°C warmer than the background.

<p>a, Sample record corresponding to a single insect; black circles represent direct contacts with the heated wire. b, The distribution of bites performed by several insects, showing the location of the spots contacted in consecutive biting attempts. Each sequence represents approximately one minute.</p

Mean distance of the sites of bites in relation to the position of the heated wire.

<p>Test: the wire was presented at 36°C and the background at 33°C. Control: both, the wire and the background were kept at 33°C. Each bar represents the mean value plus the standard error of the number of bites perfomed over the wire (green bar) and at different distances from it by 14 insects along a period of 10 min after the first bite occurred.</p
