Gas chromatographic determination of peroxyacetyl nitrate: Two convenient calibration techniques     

Horst Meyrahn  Günter Helas  Peter Warneck 《Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry》1987,5(4):405-415

Two procedures for the calibration of an electron capture detector (ECD) for peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) are discussed. One is based on the first-order decay rate of the the PAN mixing ratio in conditioned glass storage vessels. The other method makes use of the photochemical generation of PAN in mixtures of acetone and NO₂ in air. For this purpose a Penray Hg lamp was inserted into a glass vessel filled with 1 atmosphere of air containing 10 ppm NO₂ and 1% acetone. After 3 min of irradiation, the average PAN mixing ratio formed was 8.87±0.25 ppmv as determined in six separate runs.  相似文献   

Nocturnal drainage flow on simple slopes     

T. W. Horst  J. C. Doran 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1986,34(3):263-286

Observations of nocturnal slope flow have been made at two sites with quite different topography and vegetation. In both cases, continuous measurements of wind and temperature profiles were made from towers that extended through the depth of the katabatic flow. At the simpler site, which approximates a tilted plane, three towers were located at different distances down the slope to measure the development of slope flow with downslope distance.Slope flow depth, downslope wind speed, and temperature deficit are found to change with downslope distance at rates that are consistent with the predictions of Manins and Sawford's (1979) layer-averaged model of slope flow, while measured entrainment rates are found to be comparable to those predicted by Ellison and Turner's (1959) laboratory experiments. The depth of slope flow is found to be roughly 0.05 times the vertical drop from the top of the slope, a relationship that also follows from combining Manins and Sawford's model and Ellison and Turner's laboratory data. Analysis of the wind spectra and a simple numerical model suggest that the turbulent kinetic energy profiles in slope flow are dependent on the speed and direction of the ambient wind and can differ substantially from those found over flat terrain. At the more complex of the two measurement sites, the occurrence of slope flow was found to correlate well with a dimensionless number 5 that is a function of the ridge-top wind speed and of the strength and depth of the inversion and that is an estimate of the ratio of the buoyancy deficit to the external horizontal pressure gradient.Prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract DE-AC06-76RLO 1830  相似文献   

Transmission electron microscopic study of antiphase domains in CaAl2Ge2O8-Feldspar     

Wolfgang Friedrich Müller  Yusof Vojdan-Shemshadi  Horst Pentinghaus 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1987,14(3):235-237

Transmission electron microscopic study of synthetic CaAl₂Ge₂O₈-feldspar revealed two types of antiphase domains: type “b”-antiphase domains with the displacement vector 1/2 [110] and type “c”-antiphase domains with the displacement vector 1/2 [111]. The “b”-domains were on the order of 0.1 μm in size, while the “c”-domains displayed wall to wall distances mostly between 0.1 and 1 μm. The formation of the two types of antiphase domains is due to reductions in translational symmetry associated with the phase transitions \(C\bar 1 \to I\bar 1 \to P\bar 1\) . The antiphase domain textures of CaAl₂Ge₂O₈-feldspar are very similar to the textures found in natural and synthetic anorthite, CaAl₂Si₂O₈.  相似文献   

Desalinization of running waters: III. Changes in the structure of diatom assemblages caused by a decreasing salt load and changing ion spectra in the river Wipper (Thuringia, Germany)     

Horst Ziemann  Ludwig Kies  Claus-Jürgen Schulz   《Limnologica》2001,31(4):257-280

Salt-loaded effluents were introduced into the river Wipper during the mining period for almost a century. Beginning with the year 1990, the waste water load was strongly reduced due to the termination of the potash industry. Prior to 1990, monthly means of the chloride concentrations at times exceeded 6,000 mg l⁻¹ in the strongly polluted sections. Maximum concentrations reached twice these values. Up to 1998, mean annual chloride concentrations decreased to values below 2,000 mg l⁻¹. This led to more balanced fluctuations in salinity which had been pronounced before, depending on discharge and short-term changes in production. Similarly, the physiologically adverse ion conditions improved due to decrasing potassium and increasing calcium proportions.

In 1963/64, 1986 and 1998, samples of epilithic, epiphytic and epipsammic diatoms were taken at locations of different salinities along the river and examined for the effects of the salinization on the structure of the diatom assemblages. These structures changed in dependence on salinity. Increasing salt concentrations coincided with decreasing oligohalophilic and increasing mesohalophilic and polyhalophilic species numbers. Above a chloride concentration of about 3,000 mg l⁻¹, the proportion of the latter exceed that of the former (halobion index > 50). Corresponding to different conditions of salinization along the river, characteristic diatom assemblages occur differring from each other and which are specific for the river section. Spring and autumn aspects of the diatom assemblages show also salt-dependent differences. The assemblages found in 1998 after decrease of salinization have changed markedly in comparison to those from 1963/64 and 1986. Halobiontic species predominating formerly occurred only occasionally or not at all. They were replaced by oligohalobic-indifferent forms.

An ecological assessment of the changes was performed based on the halobion index calculated from all the samples. For the strongly salinized section of the river Wipper, a shift from -mesohalobic/polyhalobic conditions in 1963/64 and 1986 to -oligohalobic/β-mesohalobic conditions in 1998 was found. However, constant -oligohalobic conditions are still not given. With regard to the transition from -oligohalobic (limnetic) to β-mesohalobic (brackish) conditions, a maximum chloride concentration of 600 mg l⁻¹ was found. To guarantee -oligohalobic conditions, a maximum chloride concentration of 400 mg l⁻¹ should not be exceeded.  相似文献

Über den Verwitterungszustand des Granitgruses vom Fliegenberg,westlich Thiersheim (Fichtelgebirge) mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der Schwerminerale     

Horst Piller 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1954,4(1-2):151-162

Zusammenfassung Es werden der qualitative Mineralbestand und die Korngrößen verteilung im Verwitterungsgrus des Granites vom Fliegenberg, westlich Thiersheim, angegeben. Während der mechanische Zerfall des Gesteins als relativ stark erkannt worden ist, sind keine nennenswerten chemischen Mineralumwandlungen festzustellen. Dadurch wird die vorteilhafte Untersuchung der Schwerminerale ermöglicht. Eine hervorragende Stellung nimmt der Apatit ein. Dieser ist nahezu frisch. Da er sick an anderer Stelle (Grus des Brockengranits) unter ähnlichen Verwitterungen als chemisch instabil erwiesen hat, wird die Verwitterung des Fliegenberggranites noch jüngeren rezenten Verwitterungseinflüssen zugeschrieben. Die restliche Schwermineralassoziation wird in dieWellssche Gruppe der pneumatolytischen Bildungen eingeordnet. Die Beobachtungen deuten auf eine geringe Tiefenstufe des hier aufgeschlossenen Teils vom Granitkörper und die besondere Anlage zu einer Grusbildung hin.Herrn Professor Dr.Carl W. Correns zum 60.

Numerical prognosis for salinity profiles of future lakes in the opencast mine Merseburg-Ost     

Bertram Böhrer  Horst Heidenreich  Michael Schimmele  Martin Schultze 《International Journal of Salt Lake Research》1998,7(3):235-260

Salt-laden groundwater inflows have formed monimolimnia in developing lakes of the abandoned opencast lignite mine Merseburg-Ost, Central Germany. Water-levels are still rising. To predict the future status of the lakes, two numerical models were developed. One was designed to predict groundwater flows, the second included limnophysical processes. The models were run in parallel and data exchange between them was performed every 1 to 10 years of model time. A trial of a 100-years prognosis was done. The results of surface salinity, mixing depth, and salinity profile are given. A sensitivity analysis yielded indications for the accuracy of the prediction.  相似文献   

Earthquake strong motion simulated by stress drop models     

Horst Stöckl 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1980,118(2):1248-1271

Shallow strike slip earthquakes on vertical faults are modelled as two-dimensional antiplane strain ruptures in a uniformly prestressed homogeneous halfspace. Behind the rupture front, which is specified, the stress drops to a lower value. The elastodynamic boundary value problem is solved with a finite difference method. Several cases are studied, which include symmetric and one-directional rupture propagation, surface faulting, multiple events, variable rupture velocity, sticking and rebreaking of the fault plane. The time function of displacement, velocity and acceleration are interpreted as signals generated by events in the focus, namely starting, stopping and breaking through the surface of the rupture. The model explains peak velocity and peak acceleration in the near field of M5.5–6 earthquakes; which are typically about 0.2 m/s and 5 m/s² at 10 km epicentral distance, if the rupture velocity is close to the shear wave velocity. Sticking of the fault does not alter the accelerograms significantly, but it increases the seismic moment in simple events and decreases it in multiple events.Contribution No. 226, Geophysical Institute, University of Karlsruhe.  相似文献

Sedimentary processes and trace metal contaminants in the buccaneer oil/gas field,northwestern gulf of Mexico     

Richard B. Wheeler  John B. Anderson  Rudy R. Schwarzer  Claudia L. Hokanson 《Environmental Geology》1980,3(3):163-175

Sediments are the ultimate sink for contaminants in the marine environment, and physical processes of sedimentation influence the distribution and accumulation of these contaminants. Evaluation of contaminant levels in sediments is one approach to assessing environmental impact; data interpretation depends on consideration of sediment texture and mineralogy, however, which profoundly influence chemical composition. In this study, comparison of potentially contaminated sediments from the production field with control populations was done only within the context of similar (as to texture and organic carbon and carbonate content) sample groups as determined by cluster analysis. Ba, Cd, and Sr are identified as contaminants. Supported by the identification of a well-crystallized expandable clay—possibly bentonite—drilling fluids are a potential source of Ba. Ba and Sr may be unnaturally high because of their abundance in discharged produced formation waters, but may also be naturally controlled by the unique faunal assemblage associated with the structures. Cd is probably derived from corrosion of the structures and assorted debris on the seafloor. In general, contamination is limited to an area within 100 m of the platforms. Furthermore, substantial erosion around platforms has probably effectively removed and dispersed the bulk of the contaminants introduced into the marine environment by the offshore exploration/production operations.  相似文献
