Late pleistocene and early holocene climate of Ny-Alesund,Svalbard (Norway): A study based on biological proxies     

Vartika Singh  Anjum Farooqui  Naresh. C. Mehrotra  Dhruv Sen Singh  Rajni Tewari  Neerja Jha  Ratan Kar 《Journal of the Geological Society of India》2011,78(2):109-116

Subsurface sediments of a 120 cm deep trench from Ny-Alesund, Svalbard, were analysed for pollenspores and other organic matter contents. This study is supported by two AMS ¹⁴C dates (27, 200 yrs BP and 8,762 yrs BP) at the bottom and topmost litho-unit of the trench, respectively. The pollen record provides an evidence of a warm interval at about 27,200 yr BP (Late Weichselian and MIS 3) and cooling episode around 8,762 yr BP. This is also supported by the amount and type of organic matter as well as sediment type and depositional history of the trench sediments.  相似文献   

Energetics of the Kerr-Newman black hole by the penrose process     

Manjiri Bhat  Sanjeev Dhurandhar  Naresh Dadhich 《Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy》1985,6(2):85-100

We have studied in detail the energetics of Kerr-Newman black hole by the Penrose process using charged particles. It turns out that the presence of electromagnetic field offers very favourable conditions for energy extraction by allowing for a region with enlarged negative energy states much beyondr = 2M, and higher negative values for energy. However, when uncharged particles are involved, the efficiency of the process (defined as the gain in energy/input energy) gets reduced by the presence of charge on the black hole in comparison with the maximum efficiency limit of 20.7 per cent for the Kerr black hole. This fact is overwhelmingly compensated when charged particles are involved as there exists virtually no upper bound on the efficiency. A specific example of over 100 per cent efficiency is given.  相似文献   

Groundwater investigation of the artesian wells on the palaeochannels in parts of the Great Rann of Kachchh,Gujarat, India,using remote sensing and geophysical techniques     

Bhadra  B. K.  Gor  Naresh  Jain  Ashish K.  Meena  Hansraj  Rao  S. Srinivasa 《Hydrogeology Journal》2021,29(8):2705-2724

The Great Rann of Kachchh (GRK) in Gujarat, India, is the largest salt desert in the world, which is usually filled with seawater ingression during high tide from the Arabian Sea. As a result, the soil gets saturated with saline water that has percolated down for several meters. Groundwater exploration in Rann area is a challenging task due to the prevailing hostile environment. For this purpose, multisensor satellite data have been used to delineate the palaeochannels in search of an alternate source of drinking water. In GRK, palaeochannels represent the zone of elevated fluvial sediments with respect to the surroundings. Evolutionary history of the palaeochannels indicates upliftment of GRK area during Allah Bund faulting. For assessing the groundwater potential of the palaeochannels, high-resolution electrical resistivity tomography (HERT) surveys have been carried out with the pole-dipole method. Electrical resistivity tomograms along 710 m traverses to a depth of 250 m in Dharmsala and Gainda area show higher-resistivity zones (medium to coarse sand with brackish water) below a thick low-resistivity layer (clay with saline water). A few exploratory drillings in the area confirm the existence of the palaeochannels, which act as a confined aquifer below 100 m depth. The artesian condition of the two drilled wells at Gainda and Khardoi along the northern boundary of GRK may be attributed to hydraulic gradient along the confined layers from the Tharparkar region in Pakistan. Thus, HERT is found to be a faster and more cost-effective geophysical survey technique for study of the deep aquifer.

Thermodynamical Structure of Atmosphere during Pre-monsoon Thunderstorm Season over Kharagpur as Revealed by STORM Data     

Bhishma Tyagi  A. N. V. Satyanarayana  Naresh Krishna Vissa 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》2013,170(4):675-687

Variation of atmospheric thermodynamical structure parameters between days of thunderstorm occurrence and non-occurrence is presented based on data sets obtained during Severe Thunderstorm-Observations and Regional Modeling (STORM) experiments conducted over Kharagpur (22.3°N, 87.2°E) in pre-monsoon season of 2009 and 2010. Potential instability (stable to neutral) is noticed in the lower layers and enhanced (suppressed) convection in the middle troposphere during thunderstorm (non-thunderstorm) days. Low-level jets are observed during all days of the experimental period but with higher intensity on thunderstorm days. Convective available potential energy (CAPE) builds up until thunderstorm occurrence and becomes dissipated soon after, whereas convective inhibition (CIN) is greatly decreased prior to the event on thunderstorm days. In contrast, higher CAPE and CIN are noticed on non-thunderstorm days. Analysis of thermodynamic indices showed that indices including moisture [humidity index (HI) and dew point temperature at 850 hPa (DPT850)] are useful in differentiating thunderstorm from non-thunderstorm days. The present study reveals that significant moisture availability in the lower troposphere in the presence of convective instability conditions results in thunderstorm occurrence at Kharagpur.  相似文献   

Effect of Different Growing Environments on Population Dynamics of Sucking Pests in Relation to Various Spectral Indices in Cotton     

Naresh Kumar  Ram Niwas  M. L. Khichar  R. K. Saini  Barun Biswas 《Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing》2013,41(2):309-317

Present study was designed to determine the effect of various growing environments on sucking pest population dynamics in cotton and to work out their relation with spectral indices. Crop spectral reflectance in four IRS bands was measured with ground truth radiometer during 1000–1200 h in all the treatment combinations. Incidence of sucking pest in cotton was found out to be highly influenced by growing environments. The leafhopper and whitefly population was highest in 15 May sown cotton crop and was lowest in 15 April sown crop. Cultivar HS-6 was highly affected by both the sucking pest than the other cultivar H-1226. The spectral indices (SR, NDVI and TVI) were highest in 15 April sown crop at all the phenophases and were lowest in 15 May sown crop. The cultivar H-1226 showed higher values of spectral indices as compared to HS-6. The relationship of pests’ population with various spectral indices was established. Multiple regression models based on spectral indices can be used for prediction of sucking pest population more than 69 and 74 % accuracy in leafhopper and whitefly, respectively in cotton crop.  相似文献

Petrology and geochemistry of A-type granites from Khanak and Devsar areas of Bhiwani district,southwestern Haryana     

Radhika Sharma  Naresh Kumar 《Journal of the Geological Society of India》2017,90(2):138-146

Petrological and geochemical characteristics of the granites from the Khanak and Devsar areas have been discussed in this paper. Based on field, petrographical and geochemical observations, three types of granites (grey, green and pink granite) have been identified in these areas. Grey granites consist of quartz, plagioclase, biotite, hornblende as essential minerals and hematite, zircon, annite, monazite & rutile as accessory minerals. Petrographically, green granites are same as grey granites including perthite and zircon as accessory minerals. Pink granites consist of quartz, k-feldspar and biotite in Khanak whereas in Devsar granites alike as Khanak granites, but plagioclase is replaced by perthite and occurs as dominantly. Microscopically, granites of both areas show porphyritic, hypidiomorphic, granophyric, perthitic and micro granophyric textures. Geochemically, major oxide elements (except alkalies) and trace elements (Ba, Sr, Cr, Ni, V, Cu, Zn, Ga, Pb, Th and Zr) are more in green and grey granites of Khanak and Devsar areas than pink granites. Generally, they show enrichments in SiO₂, Na₂O+K₂O, Fe/Mg, Rb, Zr, Y and and AI (Agpaitic Index) (ranges from 0.10 to 1.18) and depletion in MgO, CaO, P, Ti, Ni, Cr and V indicate their A-type affinity which is very similar to the A-type granites of MIS (Malani igneous suite) in northwestern peninsular India. Green and grey granites of Devsar area show high concentrations of Heat production (HP) 9.68 & 11.70 μWm^-3 and total Heat Generation Unit (HGU) i.e 23.04 & 27.86 respectively. On the other hand, pink granites of Khanak area display a higher enrichment of HP (16.53 μWm^-3) and HGU (39.37) than those granites of Devsar area. Overall, they have much a higher values of HP and HGU than the average value of continental crust (3.8 HGU), which imply a possible linear relationship with the surface heat flow and crustal heat generation in the rocks of MIS. From the petrography as well as the chemistry of Khanak and Devsar granites, it is suggested that they might have derived from the different degree of partial melting from the similar source of magma.  相似文献   

The Himalayan cryosphere: A critical assessment and evaluation of glacial melt fraction in the Bhagirathi basin     

Abul Amir Khan  Naresh Chandra Pant  Anindaya Sarkar  S.K. Tandon  Meloth Thamban  Mahalinganathan K. 《地学前缘(英文版)》2017,8(1):107-115

The cryosphere constitutes an important subset of the hydrosphere.The Himalayan cryosphere is a significant contributor to the hydrological budget of a large river system such as the Ganges.Basic data on the cryosphere in the Himalaya is inadequate and also has large uncertainties.The data on glacial melt component in the Himalayan rivers of India also shows high variability.The Gangotri glacier which constitutes nearly a fifth of the glacierized area of the Bhagirathi basin represents one of the fastest receding,large valley glaciers in the region which has been surveyed and monitored for over sixty years.The availability of measurement over a long period and relatively small glacier-fed basin for the Bhagirathi river provides suitable constraints for the measurement of the glacial melt fraction in a Himalayan river.Pre- and post-monsoon samples reveal a decreasing trend Of depletion of δ~(18)O in the river water from glacier snout(Gaumukh) to the confluence of the Bhagirathi river with the Alaknanda river near Devprayag.Calculations of existing glacial melt fraction(~ 30%at Rishikesh) are not consistent with the reported glacial thinning rates.It is contended that the choice of unsuitable end-members in the three component mixing model causes the overestimation of glacial melt component in the river discharge.Careful selection of end members provides results(~11%at Devprayag) that are consistent with the expected thinning rates.  相似文献
