To investigate the response characteristics of a bay to tsunamis, field measurements of long-period waves have been carried out at Onagawa and Okachi Bays, both of which face the Pacific Ocean in northern Japan. In Onagawa Bay, the observed transfer function is in good agreement with the prediction based on the one-dimensional numerical model, in the period range larger than about 15 minutes. The response of shorter periods seems to be influenced by the two-dimensionality of the bay. The oscillations within Onagawa Harbor are also discussed with respect to the relative amplitude and phase at two stations inside the harbor and it is estimated that the reflection coefficient at the waterfront is about 0.7. In Okachi Bay, the oscillations in the period range larger than about 10 minutes could be explained by a Y-shaped model of the bay. The dominant oscillations offshore of these two-bays are found to be the mode with the motion predominantly in the direction normal to the shelf orientation, and the estimated power spectral density of incoming waves in deep water varies asf ^–2,f being the frequency. The waves of lateral modes, such as edge waves on the shelf, are small and of minor importance to generate bay oscillations of longer periods.  相似文献

Chondritic lithic clasts in the CB/CH-like meteorite Isheyevo: Fragments of previously unsampled parent bodies     

Lydie Bonal  Gary R. Huss  Alexander N. Krot  Kazuhide Nagashima 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2010,74(8):2500-6609

The CB/CH-like chondrite Isheyevo is characterized by the absence of fine-grained interchondrule matrix material; the only present fine-grained material is found as chondritic lithic clasts. In contrast to the pristine high-temperature components of Isheyevo, these clasts experienced extensive aqueous alteration in an asteroidal setting. Hence, the clasts are foreign objects that either accreted together with the high-temperature components or were added later to the final Isheyevo parent body during regolith gardening. In order to constrain the origin and secondary alteration of the clasts in Isheyevo, we studied their mineralogy, petrography, structural order of the polyaromatic carbonaceous matter, and oxygen isotopic compositions of carbonates. Three main groups of clasts were defined based on mineralogy and petrology. Group I clasts consist of phyllosilicates, carbonates, magnetite, and lath-shaped Fe,Ni-sulfides. Group II clasts contain different abundances of anhydrous silicates embedded in a hydrated matrix; sulfides, magnetite, and carbonates are rare. With only a few exceptions, groups I and II clasts did not experienced significant thermal metamorphism. Group III clasts are characterized by the absence of magnetite and the presence of Fe,Ni-metal. In addition to aqueous alteration, they experienced thermal metamorphism as reflected by the structure of their polyaromatic carbonaceous matter. While there are some similarities between the Isheyevo clasts, CI chondrites, and the matrices of CM and CR chondrites, on the whole, the characteristics of the clasts do not match those of any of these aqueously altered meteorite classes. Nor do they match those of similar material in various types of chondritic clasts present in other meteorite groups. We conclude that the Isheyevo clasts represent fragments of previously unsampled parent bodies.  相似文献   

Oxygen isotopic compositions of chondrules from the metal-rich chondrites Isheyevo (CH/CB_b), MAC 02675 (CB_b) and QUE 94627 (CB_b)

It has been recently suggested that (1) CH chondrites and the CB_b/CH-like chondrite Isheyevo contain two populations of chondrules formed by different processes: (i) magnesian non-porphyritic (cryptocrystalline and barred) chondrules, which are similar to those in the CB chondrites and formed in an impact-generated plume of melt and gas resulted from large-scale asteroidal collision, and (ii) porphyritic chondrules formed by melting of solid precursors in the solar nebula. (2) Porphyritic chondrules in Isheyevo and CH chondrites are different from porphyritic chondrules in other carbonaceous chondrites ( [Krot et al., 2005], [Krot et al., 2008a] and [Krot et al., 2008b]). In order to test these hypotheses, we measured in situ oxygen isotopic compositions of porphyritic (magnesian, Type I and ferroan, Type II) and non-porphyritic (magnesian and ferroan cryptocrystalline) chondrules from Isheyevo and CB_b chondrites MAC 02675 and QUE 94627, paired with QUE 94611, using a Cameca ims-1280 ion microprobe.On a three-isotope oxygen diagram (δ¹⁷O vs. δ¹⁸O), compositions of chondrules measured follow approximately slope-1 line. Data for 19 magnesian cryptocrystalline chondrules from Isheyevo, 24 magnesian cryptocrystalline chondrules and 6 magnesian cryptocrystalline silicate inclusions inside chemically-zoned Fe,Ni-metal condensates from CB_b chondrites have nearly identical compositions: Δ¹⁷O = −2.2 ± 0.9‰, −2.3 ± 0.6‰ and −2.2 ± 1.0‰ (2σ), respectively. These observations and isotopically light magnesium compositions of cryptocrystalline magnesian chondrules in CB_b chondrites (Gounelle et al., 2007) are consistent with their single-stage origin, possibly as gas-melt condensates in an impact-generated plume. In contrast, Δ¹⁷O values for 11 Type I and 9 Type II chondrules from Isheyevo range from −5‰ to +4‰ and from −17‰ to +3‰, respectively. In contrast to typical chondrules from carbonaceous chondrites, seven out of 11 Type I chondrules from Isheyevo plot above the terrestrial fractionation line. We conclude that (i) porphyritic chondrules in Isheyevo belong to a unique population of objects, suggesting formation either in a different nebular region or at a different time than chondrules from other carbonaceous chondrites; (ii) Isheyevo, CB and CH chondrites are genetically related meteorites: they contain non-porphyritic chondrules produced during the same highly-energetic event, probably large-scale asteroidal collision; (iii) the differences in mineralogy, petrography, chemical and whole-rock oxygen isotopic compositions between CH and CB chondrites are due to various proportions of the nebular and the impact-produced materials.  相似文献   

Occurrence of hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyls in the brain of cetaceans stranded along the Japanese coast   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Kunisue T  Sakiyama T  Yamada TK  Takahashi S  Tanabe S 《Marine pollution bulletin》2007,54(7):963-973

Levels of hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyls (OH-PCBs) and PCBs were measured in the brain of melon-headed whales (MW: Peponocephala electra), striped dolphins (SD: Stenella coeruleoalba) and finless porpoises (FP: Neophocaena phocaenoides) stranded along the Japanese coast during 2002-2003. Levels of OH-PCBs (including identified and unknown OH-P(5)CB, -H(6)CB, -H(7)CB and O(8)CB congeners) in the brain of MW, SD and FP were in the range of 20-290, 21-330 and 170-240pg/g wet wt., respectively. Observed OH-PCB levels were 2-3 orders of magnitude lower than PCBs in the same individuals. OH-PCBs/PCBs ratios in MW, SD and FP brain were lower than those in blood of humans and wildlife and in the brain of polar bears reported previously. OH-PCBs were also detected in maternal and fetal brain of SD (1 pair), suggesting transfer of OH-PCBs into the fetal brain of odontocete cetaceans. When fetus/dam concentration ratios of OH-PCB congeners detected in maternal and fetal brain were estimated, the values were higher than those of PCB congeners, implying that OH-PCBs in maternal blood could be more easily transferred into fetal brain via placenta than PCBs.  相似文献   

An unusual clast in lunar meteorite MacAlpine Hills 88105: A unique lunar sample or projectile debris?     

K. H. Joy  I. A. Crawford  G. R. Huss  K. Nagashima  G. J. Taylor 《Meteoritics & planetary science》2014,49(4):677-695

Lunar meteorite MacAlpine Hills (MAC) 88105 is a well‐studied feldspathic regolith breccia dominated by rock and mineral fragments from the lunar highlands. Thin section MAC 88105,159 contains a small rock fragment, 400 × 350 μm in size, which is compositionally anomalous compared with other MAC 88105 lithic components. The clast is composed of olivine and plagioclase with minor pyroxene and interstitial devitrified glass component. It is magnesian, akin to samples in the lunar High Mg‐Suite, and also alkali‐rich, akin to samples in the lunar High Alkali Suite. It could represent a small fragment of late‐stage interstitial melt from an Mg‐Suite parent lithology. However, olivine and pyroxene in the clast have Fe/Mn ratios and minor element concentrations that are different from known types of lunar lithologies. As Fe/Mn ratios are notably indicative of planetary origin, the clast could either (1) have a unique lunar magmatic source, or (2) have a nonlunar origin (i.e., consist of achondritic meteorite debris that survived delivery to the lunar surface). Both hypotheses are considered and discussed.  相似文献   

Cell contact-dependent lethal effect of the dinoflagellate Heterocapsa circularisquama on phytoplankton–phytoplankton interactions

We used bi-algal culture experiments to investigate and verify the roles of growth interaction between Heterocapsa circularisquama and Prorocentrum dentatum in monospecific bloom formation. Growth of H. circularisquama was slightly inhibited when inoculated at 10² cells mL^–1 along with P. dentatum at 10⁴ cells mL^–1. In other combinations of inoculation densities, P. dentatum density rapidly decreased to extremely low levels in the presence of H. circularisquama. We used a mathematical model to simulate growth and interactions of H. circularisquama and P. dentatum in bi-algal cultures. The model indicates that one species will always inhibit the growth of the other and that the relative initial cell densities of the species are critical in determining the outcome. When cultured together under conditions without cell contact, growth of H. circularisquama and P. dentatum was not inhibited. As with P. dentatum, the growth of Heterosigma akashiwo and Skeletonema costatum was inhibited in intact cell suspensions with H. circularisquama, but a nontoxic species, Heterocapsa triquetra, did not affect the growth of P. dentatum or the other species. Similarly, cell suspensions of H. circularisquama showed hemolytic activity toward rabbit erythrocytes, but those of H. triquetra did not. In addition, the cell-free supernatant of H. circularisquama cultures showed no significant hemolytic activity. These results suggest that H. circularisquama causes lethality in P. dentatum by direct cell contact in which live-cell-mediated hemolytic activity might be a contributing factor.  相似文献

Time variation of the solar neutrino fluxes from Super-Kamiokande data     

Shirai  Tatsuya 《Solar physics》2004,222(2):199-201

Since observed precise data on the fluxes of the neutrinos from the Sun have recently become available from the Super-Kamiokande experiment, it has become possible, by using these data, to find out whether these fluxes vary periodically or aperiodically. Here we discuss the time variation of the solar neutrino fluxes from the data and suggest that the neutrino fluxes may vary with about a 30-month period.  相似文献   

Estimation of groundwater residence time using the 36Cl bomb pulse   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

We propose a methodology for estimating the residence time of groundwater based on bomb-produced (36)Cl. Water samples were collected from 28 springs and 2 flowing wells located around Mt. Fuji, Central Japan. (36)Cl/Cl ratios in the water samples, determined by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), were between 43 × 10(-15) and 412 × 10(-15). A reference time series of the above-background (i.e., bomb-derived) (36)Cl concentration was constructed by linearly scaling the background-corrected Dye-3 data according to the estimated total bomb-produced (36)Cl fallout in the Mt. Fuji area. Assuming piston flow transport, estimates of residence time were obtained by comparing the measured bomb-derived (36)Cl concentrations in spring water with the reference curve. The distribution of (36)Cl-based residence times is basically consistent with that of tritium-based estimates calculated from data presented in previous studies, although the estimated residence times differ between the two tracers. This discrepancy may reflect chlorine recycling via vegetation or the relatively small change in fallout rate, approximately since 1975, which would give rise to large uncertainties in (36)Cl-based estimates of recharge for the period, approximately since 1975. Given the estimated ages for groundwater from flowing wells, dating based on a (36)Cl bomb pulse may be more reliable and sensitive for groundwater recharged before 1975, back as far as the mid-1950s.  相似文献
