To spatially characterize the palaeolakeshore environment at the archaeological kill site Schöningen 13 II-4 of the Middle Pleistocene Reinsdorf sequence, in-depth palynological, geochemical, aquatic microfossil and archaeological analyses were undertaken on sediment sections with an average thickness of about 15 cm, concordantly overlain by faunal remains, dominated by horse, from the unique ‘Spear Horizon’ layers of the 1995 excavation campaign. The data reveal a distinctive lake level drop, documented by the change from a carbonate-rich lake marl to a carbonate-free organic mud with increased carbon content and decreasing C/N, Si/Al, Si/K and Fe/Al ratios, indicating a higher pedogenic supply of organic matter and drier conditions at the site. Compared with older, similar transitional phases of lake level changes occurring within the Reinsdorf sequence, it is important that these youngest sediments are undisturbed, indicating continuous development. Ostracod and diatom analyses indicate a lowering water level with higher salinities and rich aquatic vegetation. Mesorheophilic ostracod species along with tychoplanktic diatom taxa point to flowing waters and turbulence at the lakeshore, presumably related to spring-fed streams originating from nearby highlands. Palynological results reveal a very diverse zonal vegetation pattern around the palaeolakeshore considering an area of investigation of approximately 50 × 75 m and a tessellated type of regional vegetation during the formation of the archaeological horizons. On topographically lower elevated areas, birch groves and taxa favouring wet, marshy conditions such as Cyperaceae, indicative of terrestrialization, were predominating, while other stands of this transitional phase reveal a very dry, grass-dominated steppe woodland favouring a rich wildlife with a striking number of megaherbivores. Our results suggest that the lithological differences of the ‘Spear Horizon’ layers containing the archaeological finds were due to their respective topographical situation and that the layers were deposited almost simultaneously during the beginning of the lake level drop. Human activities seem to have concentrated in sparsely vegetated areas along the palaeolakeshore, rather than in areas of adjacent denser birch swamp forest stands.  相似文献

基于全球转移的乐器制造业价值链空间分布——以钢琴制造业为例   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

朱华友  刘金俭 《世界地理研究》2012,(1):93-99

作为一个发展成熟的全球性产业,乐器制造业也正经历着快速的发展和演变。鉴于作为乐器之王的钢琴在乐器中的地位,本文以钢琴为例,研究全球乐器产业的转移及价值活动分布。研究认为,钢琴制造业了5次全球转移,即西欧内部的转移、由欧洲向美国的转移、由美国向西欧和日本的转移、由日本向东亚的转移和由韩国向东亚的转移,形成了当前的全球价值分布格局,即全球钢琴制造业价值量分布整体上呈现阶梯状分布的格局,以欧美为第一阶梯,日本和韩国为第二阶梯,中国为第三阶梯。在研发、核心产品设计及品牌等的核心竞争力上表现更是如此。基于上述研究,论文最后对我国的乐器制造业发展提出了一些思考。  相似文献

On accuracy and reliability of instantaneous network RTK as a function of network geometry, station separation, and data processing strategy     

Dorota A. Grejner-Brzezinska  Israel Kashani  Pawel Wielgosz 《GPS Solutions》2005,9(3):212-225

The network-based approach to kinematic GPS positioning significantly increases the distance, over which carrier-phase ambiguity resolution can be performed. This can be achieved either by introducing geometric conditions based on the fixed reference locations, and/or through the use of reference network data to estimate the corrections to GPS observations that can be broadcast to the users. The Multi Purpose GPS Processing Software (MPGPS) developed at The Ohio State University uses the multiple reference station approach for wide area and regional differential kinematic GPS positioning. The primary processing algorithm uses the weighted free-net (WFN) approach with the distance-dependent weighting scheme to derive optimal estimates of the user coordinates and realistic accuracy measures. The WFN approach, combined with the single epoch (instantaneous) ambiguity resolution algorithm is presented here as one approach to real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS. Since for baselines exceeding ~100 km, the instantaneous ambiguity resolution may not always be possible due to the increasing observation noise and insufficient number of observations to verify the integer selection, an alternative approach, based on a single- (or multiple-) baseline solution, supported by a double-difference (DD) ionospheric delay propagated from the previous epoch is also presented. In this approach, some data accumulation, supported by the network-derived atmospheric corrections, is required at the beginning of the rover data processing to obtain the integer ambiguities; after this initialization period, the processing switches to the instantaneous RTK positioning mode. This paper presents a discussion on the effects of the network geometry, station separation and the data reduction technique on the final quality and reliability of the rover positioning solution. A 24-h data set of August 31, 2003, collected by the Ohio Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) network was processed by both techniques under different network geometry and reference station separation. Various solutions, such as (1) single-baseline solution for varying base-rover separation, (2) multi-baseline solution with medium-range base separation (over 100 km), and (3) multi-baseline solution with long-range base separation (up to 377 km), were obtained and compared for accuracy and consistency. The horizontal positioning accuracy achieved in these tests, expressed as the difference between the estimated coordinates and the known rover coordinates, is at the sub-decimeter level for the first approach, and at the centimeter-level for the second method, for baselines over 100 km. In the vertical coordinate, decimeter- and sub-decimeter levels were achieved for the two approaches, respectively. Even though all the results presented here were obtained in post-processing, both algorithms are suitable for real-time applications.  相似文献   

Predictions of magnetic fields for Uranus and Neptune     

Oldřich Novotný  Ludvík Urban  Reviewer P. Ambrož 《Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica》1986,30(3):291-296

Summary The magnetic moments of Uranus and Neptune have been predicted using different scaling laws of planetary magnetism. The predictions for Uranus cover a broad band of values from very weak magnetic fields (tidal relations) to moderate fields (thermal convection hypothesis). Therefore, the direct measurements of this field by Voyager 2 (January 1986) will be very important for testing the individual hapotheses.

Measurements of low energy auroral ions     

A. Urban 《Planetary and Space Science》1981,29(12):1353-1365

This paper summarizes ion meaurements in the energy range 0.1–30keV observed during the campaigns “Substorm Phenomena” and “Porcupine”. For a clear survey of the physical processes during extraordinary events, sometimes ion meaurements of higher energies are also taken into account. Generally, the pitch angle distributions were isotropic during all flights except some remarkable events. In general the ion and electron flux intensities correlated, but sometimes revealed a spectral anti-correlation.

Acceleration of the ions by an electrostatic field aligned parallel to the magnetic field could be identified accompanied by intense electron precipitation. On the other hand deceleration of the ions was observed in other field-aligned current sheets which are indicated by the electron and magnetic field measurements. Temporal successive monoenergetic ion variations pointed to energy dispersion and to the location of the source region at 9 R_E. Furthermore, ion fluxes higher than those of the electrons were measured at pitch angles parallel to the magnetic field. Each of the examples was observed during different flights. The integral down-going number and energy flux of the ions contributed to the total particle or energy influx between 65% and less than 7% and did not clearly characterize the geophysical launch conditions or auroral activities.  相似文献   

A moving group of young stars in Carina–Vela     

Valeri V. Makarov  Sean Urban 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2000,317(2):289-298

Accurate two-colour photometry and proper motions of 7096 young X-ray stars in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey Bright Star Catalogue, version 1RXS, are extracted from the Tycho-2 Catalogue. The sample is dominated by red main-sequence and possibly pre-main-sequence stars. On a global proper motion convergence map, two features are very prominent: the nearby section of the Gould Belt and the Hyades convergent point. The appearance of the Gould Belt feature with its peak at ( l =2443, b =−126) is quite similar to that of Hipparcos OB stars. When only stars with proper motions drawing close to that point are selected, strong concentrations of stars in the direction of the Sco–Cen complex are found. Another concentration, not corresponding to any known OB association, is detected between the position of the Lower Centaurus Crux and Vela OB2 associations. It is a new young moving group located in Carina and Vela, and a near extension of the Sco–Cen complex. Contrary to the classical Gould Belt OB associations, the Carina–Vela moving group has a considerable geometric depth, the closest members being as near as 30 pc from the Sun. IC 2391, one of the youngest and closest open clusters on the sky, is a part of the Carina–Vela moving group. The Carina–Vela moving group does not link the Sco–Cen complex with the Vela OB associations, because the latter is much more distant than the outer limit of the sample. It is more likely that the young late-type population of the Scorpio–Centaurus–Carina moving group stretches towards the Sun and possibly beyond it.  相似文献
