Long-term model of planimetric and bathymetric evolution of a tidal lagoon     

Giampaolo Di Silvio  Chiara Dall’Angelo  Davide Bonaldo  Giacomo Fasolato 《Continental Shelf Research》2010

This model is based on the concept of transport concentration, defined as the time-averaged concentration in a given location of a lagoon, which determines the long-term net transport of sediments as the sum of a dispersive and an advective flux. Dispersive net flux of sediments is due to the alternate components of the tidal flow, while the advective net flux of sediments is due to the residual (Eulerian) component of the tidal, fluvial and littoral flow and possibly to the asymmetry between flow and ebb tide.  相似文献   

Seismic vulnerability of bridges in transport networks subjected to environmental deterioration   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

This paper investigates the problem of management, maintenance and planning of interventions in transport networks located in seismic zones, in relation to the actual state of degradation of their most vulnerable elements, as bridges. The study consists in two phases: the first phase is concerned with definition of the seismic vulnerability of a typical bridge in the network, through the construction of fragility curves calculated taking into account the corrosion of the reinforcing steel as the main cause of environmental deterioration. Once the fragility curves of the deteriorated bridges are computed, the second phase consists in the analysis of the vulnerability of the transport network in which the bridges are included taking into account the modification of the traffic flows when bridge infrastructures are damaged. The results of this pilot study can be used as a first step for a proper allocation of economic resources in the planning of seismic retrofit interventions to minimize the overall risk and manage the immediate post-earthquake emergency phase and guide rescuers in reaching the affected and critical areas.  相似文献   

The Banhad?o Alkaline Complex, Southeastern Brazil: source and evolution of potassic SiO2-undersaturated high-Ca and low-Ca magmatic series     

Excelso Ruberti  Gaston E. R. Enrich  Rogério G. Azzone  Piero Comin-Chiaramonti  Angelo De Min  Celso B. Gomes 《Mineralogy and Petrology》2012,104(1-2):63-80

The Cretaceous Banhad?o alkaline complex in southeastern Brazil presents two potassic SiO₂-undersaturated series. The high-Ca magmatic series consist of initially fractionated olivine (Fo_92-91) + diopside (Wo_48-43En_49-35Ae_0-7), as evidenced by the presence of xenocrysts and xenoliths. In that sequence, diopside (Wo_47-38En_46-37Ae_0-8) + phlogopite + apatite + perovskite (Prv_>92) crystallized to form the phlogopite melteigite and led to the Ca enrichment of the magma. Diopside (Wo_47-41En_32-24 Ae_3-14) continued to crystallize as an early mafic mineral, followed by nepheline (Ne_74.8-70.1Ks_26.3-21.2Qz_7.6-0.9) and leucite (Lc_65-56) and subsequently by melanite and potassic feldspar (Or_85-99Ab_1-7) to form melanite ijolites, wollastonite-melanite urtites and melanite-nepheline syenites. Melanite-pseudoleucite-nepheline syenites are interpreted to be a leucite accumulation. Melanite nephelinite dykes are believed to represent some of the magmatic differentiation steps. The low-Ca magmatic series is representative of a typical fractionation of aegirine-augite (Wo_36-29En_25-4Ae_39-18) + alkali feldspar (Or_57-96Ab_3-43) + nepheline (Ne_76.5-69.0Ks_19.9-14.4Qz_15.1-7.7) + titanite from phonolite magma. The evolution of this series from potassic nepheline syenites to sodic sodalite syenites and sodalitolites is attributed to an extensive fractionation of potassic feldspar, which led to an increase of the NaCl activity in the melt during the final stages forming sodalite-rich rocks. Phonolite dykes followed a similar evolutionary process and also registered some crustal assimilation. The mesocratic nepheline syenites showed interactions with phlogopite melteigites, such as compatible trace element enrichments and the presence of diopside xenocrysts, which were interpreted to be due to a mixing/mingling process of phonolite and nephelinite magmas. The geochemical data show higher TiO₂ and P₂O₅ contents and lower SiO₂ contents for the high-Ca series and different LILE evolution trends and REE chondrite-normalized patterns as compared to the low-Ca series. The ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd, ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb and ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb initial ratios for the high-Ca series (0.70407–0.70526, 0.51242–0.51251, 17.782–19.266 and 38.051–39.521, respectively) were slightly different from those of the low-Ca series (0.70542–0.70583, 0.51232–0.51240, 17.758–17.772 and 38.021–38.061, respectively). For both series, a CO₂-rich potassic metasomatized lithospheric mantle enriched the source with rutile-bearing phlogopite clinopyroxenite veins. Kamafugite-like parental magma is attributed to the high-Ca series with major contributions from the melting of the veins. Potassic nephelinite-like parental magma is assigned to the low-Ca series, where the metasomatized wall-rock played a more significant role in the melting process.  相似文献

Probabilistic risk assessment of common booster biocides in surface waters of the harbours of Gran Canaria (Spain)     

Sánchez-Rodríguez A  Sosa-Ferrera Z  Santana-del Pino A  Santana-Rodríguez JJ 《Marine pollution bulletin》2011,62(5):985-991

The presence of booster biocides in the aquatic environment has been associated with a risk to non-target species due to their proven toxicity. The aim of the present study was to determine the spatial and temporal distribution of common booster biocides in different harbours of the island of Gran Canaria (Spain) and evaluate, by means of a probabilistic risk assessment (PRA), the ecological risk posed by these compounds. With these objectives, a monitoring campaign was conducted between January 2008 and May 2009, collecting a total of 182 seawater samples. Four common booster biocides (TCMTB, diuron, Irgarol 1051 and dichlofluanid) were monitored. Diuron levels ranged between 2.3 and 203 ng/L and Irgarol 1051 between 2.4 and 146.5 ng/L. The ecological risk associated with these levels was always low, however, with probabilities of exceeding the 10th percentile of autotroph toxicity below 3.5%.  相似文献   

SLA–chlorophyll-a variability and covariability in the Algero-Provençal Basin (1997–2007) through combined use of EOF and wavelet analysis of satellite data     

Antonio Olita  Alberto Ribotti  Roberto Sorgente  Leopoldo Fazioli  Angelo Perilli 《Ocean Dynamics》2011,61(1):89-102

Data reduction and signal decomposition techniques have been applied to a large bio-physical remotely sensed dataset covering the decade 1997–2007. The aim was the estimation of the spatial (basin and sub-basin scales) and temporal (seasonal and interannual) variability of sea level anomalies and chlorophyll-a concentration in the Algero-Provençal Basin, as well as the study of their covariability. Empirical orthogonal functions, wavelet analysis, singular value decomposition and correlation maps have been successfully used to individuate the patterns of (co)variability of the investigated fields. The seasonal variability of the phytoplanktonic biomass is divided in two distinct modes, timewise and spacewise separated. Positive interannual events are related to anomalies in 1999 and 2005, while the main (negative) anomaly is that of summer 2003, associated to the European 2003 heatwave. The analysis of the sea level anomalies shows a minimum in the formation of anticyclonic Algerian eddies during that period. The largest anticorrelation between sea level anomalies and phytoplanktonic biomass is found in the central zone of the basin, suggesting a clear biological response to the shoaling/deepening of the isopycnae and so to the nutrient injection into the euphotic layer. The analysis suggests that the driver of the variability of the nutricline depth in this central area is the displacement (seasonal) of the North Balearic Front and the formation/action of the frontal eddies.  相似文献

Polymorphism of As4S3 (tris-(μ2-sulfido)-tetra-arsenic): accurate structure refinement on natural α- and β-dimorphites and inferred room temperature thermodynamic properties     

Angelo Gavezzotti  Francesco Demartin  Carlo Castellano  Italo Campostrini 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2013,40(2):175-182

An accurate structure refinement, using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, on natural α- and β-dimorphites collected at Solfatara di Pozzuoli, in the Phlegraean Fields, near Naples and at Vesuvius (Italy) is reported. Theoretical calculations at various levels of sophistication have been used to calculate molecular vibrational frequencies and gas-phase specific heats, to analyze the crystal packing, and to estimate lattice energies of both phases. All computational methods contribute to demonstrate that the β-phase is the thermodynamically stable one at room temperature.  相似文献   

Conjugate Points in the Gravitational n-Body Problem     

Angelo B. Mingarelli  Chiara M. F. Mingarelli 《Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy》2005,91(3-4):391-401

In an effort to understand the nature of almost periodic orbits in the n-body problem (for all time t) we look first to the more basic question of the oscillatory nature of solutions of this problem (on a half-line, usually taken as R ⁺). Intimately related to this is the notion of a conjugate point(due to A. Wintner) of a solution. Specifically, by rewriting the mass unrestricted general problem of n-bodies in a symmetric form we prove that in the gravitational Newtonian n-body problem with collisionless motions there exists arbitrarily large conjugate points in the case of arbitrary (positive) masses whenever the cube of the reciprocal of at least one of the mutual distances is not integrable at infinity. The implication of this result is that there are possibly many Wintner oscillatorysolutions in these cases (some of which may or may not be almost periodic). As a consequence, we obtain sufficient conditions for all continuable solutions (to infinity) to be either unbounded or to allow for near misses (at infinity). The results also apply to potentials other than Newtonian ones. Our techniques are drawn from results in systems oscillation theory and are applicable to more general situations.
