In January 1982, sediment microbial N transformations and inorganic N fluxes across the sediment/water interface were studied at nine sites off the South Island West Coast, New Zealand. The sediments showed a great variety in physical, chemical and biological properties. The sediment organic matter had a molar $\text{C}\text{N}$ ratio of 5.9–10.9, and the total $\text{N}\text{P}$ ratio was 1.2–4.0. The denitrification capacity in the top 7.5 cm of sediment was 0.1–77.2 mmol N m^?2 day^?1 and generally declined with increasing sediment depth. The in situ denitrification rate was 0.02–1.84 mmol N m^?2 day^?1 and highest activities were generally found in surface sediments and at 6–7.5 cm depth. Denitrification accounted for 82–100% of total nitrate reduction. Net N mineralization was indirectly estimated at 0.6–2.4 mmol N m^?2 day^?1, and the experimental determination of this N transformation gave 0.6–3.2 mmol N m^?2 day^?1. Denitrification accounted for 3–75% of net N mineralization. The diffusive flux of ammonium and nitrate across the sediment/water interface was 0.1–0.7 and 0.1–0.6 mmol N m^?2 day^?1, respectively.  相似文献   

Predictability in dynamical systems     

Heinrich Eichhorn 《Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy》1987,43(1-4):417-420

The problem has basically three aspects: A mathematical, a physical and thirdly, an epistemological one. Even though the state of a dynamical system as a function of time may be perfectly and unambiguously determined in principle, do we at this time have the means to find out what this state is?  相似文献   

On the determination of double star orbits     

Heinrich Eichhorn 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1985,110(1):119-124

It is proposed to improve the convergence of the determination of the elements of the orbits of visual binaries by using not only first, but second-order derivatives in the development of the appropriate equations of condition. Also, some improvements of the Kowalsky-Seeliger method are suggested which improve the accuracy of the orbit used as first approximation.  相似文献

The role of rock properties in the development of bedrock-incised rills and gullies: Examples from Southern Africa     

George F. Dardis Dr.  Heinrich R. Beckedahl 《GeoJournal》1991,23(1):35-40

Physical properties (Schmidt hammer in situ rock strength; degree of weathering; orientation, spacing, width and continuity of joints, bedding planes and faults; groundwater flow) of bedrock-incised rills and gullies were ecamined at selected localities in southern Africa. The resulting data was compared to froms of erosion observed in the field to test for possible influences of rock physical properties on rill and gully development. Bedrock-incised rill erosion occurs at low RMS (Rock Mass Strength) values (40–50). Rills generally do not form where RMS values are high (> 50). Though V-shaped bedrock-incised gullies form in lithologies with a wide range of RMS values (40–69), these values exert strong control on longitudinal morphometry. Future studies should concentrate on establishing a database on properties of erosion forms to aid identification of lithological conditions (e. g. deep regolith) which are potentially susceptible to accelerated erosion.  相似文献   

Soil erosion on a sub-tropical coastal dune complex,Transkei, Southern Africa   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Patricia M. Hanvey Dr.  George F. Dardis Dr.  Heinrich R. Beckedahl 《GeoJournal》1991,23(1):41-48

A fossil dune complex on the east coast of southern Africa is presently undergoing extensive accelerated erosion, with concomitant dune reactivation and degradation, unconfined erosion (sheetwash and wind deflation) and extensive development of V-shaped, ravine-type gully forms on hillslopes composed of thick sequences of Quaternary (Berea Formation?) dune sands. The sands comprise a thick, reddened, ferralitic sand carapace overlying white, poorly cemented quartzitic sands. Soil erosion has resulted from degradation of the red dune sand cover. Despite the cohesionless nature of the host materials, gully forms developed on dune sands are typologically similar to those developed in regolith or soft bedrock. This demonstrates that gully forms are influenced by the degree of homogeneity, rather than the absolute strength, of the host material subject to erosion. Factors which have contributed to erosion are discussed.  相似文献   

Experimental Na-K distribution between amphiboles and aqueous chloride solutions, and a mixing model along the richterite – K-richterite join     

Rolf Zimmermann  M. Gottschalk  Wilhelm Heinrich  Gerhard Franz 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1997,126(3):252-264

The cation exchange equilibrium has been investigated by hydrothermal experiments at 700 and 800°C at 200 MPa. To avoid equilibration problems of conventional exchange experiments, we synthesized amphiboles with an excess fluid allowing exchange between solid and fluid during the experiment. The exchangeable cations Na and K were provided as excess 1 to 2n chloridic solution. These exchange syntheses can be described by the reaction equation with ^(aq) for hydroxides and chlorides in aqueous solutions and _{( s )} and _{( p )}?=?start and product fluid. The amphiboles grew in presence of the exchange fluid and adjusted their stoichiometry in equilibrium with the fluid phase. The solid products consist of more than 99% amphibole (Na,K-richterite_ss) with traces of diopside and quartz. The amphiboles are up to 1?mm long and often ≈ 40 μm thick. Detailed EMP- and HRTEM-observations show that they are chemically homogeneous and structurally wellordered. The experimental results give consistent phase relations in the reciprocal ternary system Na-richterite–K-richterite–NaCl–KCl. We analysed the product fluid with AAS- and ICP-methods. The Na-K distribution coefficients between fluid and amphiboles of the richterite–K-richterite join are close to unity at 700°C and 800°C at 200 MPa. Small systematic deviations are explained by a symmetric solution model for the A-position of the amphiboles. Using ideal mixing for H₂O-NaCl-KCl fluids, a mixing model for the system richterite–K-richterite is presented. We suggest that the composition of richterite solid solutions can be used as a sensor for NaCl/KCl-ratios in metamorphic fluids.  相似文献   

Influence of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">X</Emphasis>-site composition on tourmaline’s crystal structure: investigation of synthetic K-dravite,dravite, oxy-uvite,and magnesio-foitite using SREF and Raman spectroscopy     

E. J. Berryman  B. Wunder  A. Ertl  M. Koch-Müller  D. Rhede  K. Scheidl  G. Giester  W. Heinrich 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2016,43(2):83-102

The crystal structures of synthetic K-dravite [^XK^YMg ₃ ^Z Al ₆ ^T Si₆O₁₈(BO₃) ₃ ^V (OH) ₃ ^W (OH)], dravite [^XNa^YMg ₃ ^Z Al ₆ ^T Si₆O₁₈(BO₃) ₃ ^V (OH) ₃ ^W (OH)], oxy-uvite [^XCa^YMg ₃ ^Z Al ₆ ^T Si₆O₁₈(BO₃) ₃ ^V (OH) ₃ ^W O], and magnesio-foitite [^X?^Y(Mg₂Al)^ZAl ₆ ^T Si₆O₁₈(BO₃) ₃ ^V (OH) ₃ ^W (OH)] are investigated by polarized Raman spectroscopy, single-crystal structure refinement (SREF), and powder X-ray diffraction. The use of compositionally simple tourmalines characterized by electron microprobe analysis facilitates the determination of site occupancy in the SREF and band assignment in the Raman spectra. The synthesized K-dravite, oxy-uvite, and magnesio-foitite have significant Mg–Al disorder between their octahedral sites indicated by their respective average 〈Y–O〉 and 〈Z–O〉 bond lengths. The Y- and Z-site compositions of oxy-uvite (^YMg_1.52Al_1.48(10) and ^ZAl_4.90Mg_1.10(15)) and magnesio-foitite (^YAl_1.62Mg_1.38(18) and ^ZAl_4.92Mg_1.08(24)) are refined from the electron densities at each site. The Mg–Al ratio of the Y and Z sites is also determined from the relative integrated peak intensities of the Raman bands in the O–H stretching vibrational range (3250–3850 cm^?1), producing values in good agreement with the SREF data. The unit cell volume of tourmaline increases from magnesio-foitite (1558.4(3) ų) to dravite (1569.5(4)–1571.7(3) ų) to oxy-uvite (1572.4(2) ų) to K-dravite (1588.1(2) ų), mainly due to lengthening of the crystallographic c-axis. The increase in the size of the X-site coordination polyhedron from dravite (Na) to K-dravite (K) is accommodated locally in the crystal structure, resulting in the shortening of the neighboring O1–H1 bond. In oxy-uvite, Ca²⁺ is locally associated with a deprotonated W (O1) site, whereas vacant X sites are neighbored by protonated W (O1) sites. Increasing the size of the X-site-occupying ion does not detectably affect bonding between the other sites; however, the higher charge of Ca and the deprotonated W (O1) site in oxy-uvite are correlated to changes in the lattice vibration Raman spectrum (100–1200 cm^?1), particularly for bands assigned to the T ₆O₁₈ ring. The Raman spectrum of magnesio-foitite shows significant deviations from those of K-dravite, dravite, and oxy-uvite in both the lattice and O–H stretching vibrational ranges (100–1200 and 3250–3850 cm^?1, respectively). The vacant X site is correlated with long- and short-range changes in the crystal structure, i.e., deformation of the T ₆O₁₈ ring and lengthening of the O1–H1 and O3–H3 bonds. However, X-site vacancies in K-dravite, dravite, and oxy-uvite result only in the lengthening of the neighboring O1–H1 bond and do not result in identifiable changes in the lattice-bonding environment.  相似文献

Summary Evaluations of wind measurements of the North American Meteorological Rocket Network gave a picture of seasonal variation of the mean winds in stratosphere and mesosphere. The upper part of Fig. 1 refers to the northern stations (Fort Churchill and Fort Greely), the lower part to all others rocket bases. The periods in which the general circulation changes from west to east and from east to west were investigated by half-month means (Figs. 2–4). With the help of the null layer conception — a persistent wind extrem layer reverses the large scale vertical motion — it was possible to derive a scheme of the general circulation of the nontropical latitudes for spring and fall (Figs. 5-a and b).

Vergleich einiger Methoden zur Untersuchung von geochemischen Vorgängen bei der Verwitterung     

Dr. Heinrich Martin Köster 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1961,8(2):69-83

Summary Chemical analyses are used by many authors to describe processes of soil development or laterite formation. In this paper some methods of balance calculations are compared by using samples of a laterite profile on granite from India as testing material. It should be proved which of these calculations of transported matter between the different layers are fitting to the mineral analyses of the laterite profile.Only the results of the method proposed byMashall by using an index-mineral as a base for comparison is confirmed by the mineral analyses.The method ofStreng differs from the above described calculation by using a chemical element as an index. FollowingStreng it is supposed that this element remains unchanged during the weathering processes. But certain chemical elements can be constituents of several minerals of a parent rock. During laterite formation all or almost all minerals of the original rock will be altered and the elements will be transported by weathering solutions. Therefore chemical elements do not serve as an index for balance calculations within a laterite complex.UsingGrossers method one cannot decide wether the abundance of a certain element is caused by accumulation of this element or by lost of other constituents and vice-versa.The use of the method developed byMillot u.Bonifas is not advisable except the structure of the original rock is preserved unaltered during laterite formation. This is not indicated in our case.  相似文献
