Electrical conductivity from Australian magnetometer arrays using spatial gradient data     

F.E.M. Lilley  D.V. Woods  M.N. Sloane 《Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors》1981,25(3):202-209

Quiet daily magnetic variations recorded by magnetometer arrays in Australia are analysed to obtain electromagnetic response parameters for two parts of the Australian continent remote from electrical conductivity anomalies. The parameters are based on measurements of vertical-field and horizontal-field spatial gradient, and three different methods are followed in their computation. The response parameters are checked for consistency with a compilation of globally-determined Earth apparent resistivities, and are then interpreted for one-dimensional conductivity structure in the two different parts of the continent. There is evidence that the rise in electrical conductivity from 10^?1 S m^?1 to 10⁰ S m^?1 which occurs at a depth of order 500 km beneath central Australia may occur at a substantially shallower depth of order 230 km beneath southeast Australia.  相似文献

Vibration of a thin-walled prolate dome under external water pressure     

Carl T.F. Ross  Philipp Kster  Andrew P.F. Little  Giles Tewkesbury 《Ocean Engineering》2007,34(3-4):560-575

The paper reports on a theoretical and an experimental investigation carried out on a thin-walled hemi-ellipsoidal prolate dome in air and also under external water pressure. The investigation found that there was good correlation between experiment and theory. The theoretical investigation was carried out using the finite element analysis to model both the structure and the fluid. The theoretical investigation used two different programs, one of which was the giant computer program ANSYS and the other was an in-house program developed by Ross. For the shell structure, the ANSYS program used 2 different doubly curved thin-walled shell elements, while the in-house program used a simpler axisymmetric thin-walled shell element. This axisymmetric element allowed a sinusoidal variation of the displacements in the circumferential direction, thus, decreasing preparation and computational time. Agreement between the 3 different finite elements was found to be good. This was found particularly encouraging for the in-house software, as it only took a few hours to set up the computer model, and a few seconds to analyse the vessel, whereas the ANSYS software took several weeks to set up the computer model, and several minutes to analyse the shell dome. The ANSYS software, however, did have the advantage in producing excellent graphical displays in both the pre-processing and post-processing modes.  相似文献   

Estimating turbulent dissipation rates from acoustic backscatter     

Tetjana Ross  Rolf Lueck 《Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers》2005,52(12):2353-2365

Recent work has suggested the possibility of using high-frequency (10 kHz to 1 MHz) acoustics to remotely sense turbulent microstructure in the ocean. Once developed, this technique will provide a powerful tool for examining the spatial and temporal distributions of ocean mixing in a way not possible using traditional microstructure methods. In this paper turbulent dissipation rates are estimated through an inversion of 307 kHz acoustic scattering data collected in the lee of a sill in Knight Inlet, British Columbia. These data have been shown previously to be strongly correlated with temperature and shear microstructure measurements. Here we show that inversion methods can be used to get turbulent dissipation rates from acoustic backscatter, provided that independent measurements of temperature and salinity stratification are available. The temperature–salinity characteristics of the environment, however, can place limitations on the inversion technique. The strong negative salinity gradient in Knight Inlet decreases the slope of the functional relationship between dissipation rate and scattering cross-section for high dissipation rates and increases the uncertainty of the inversion. This limitation on the inversion technique is not an issue throughout most of the world's oceans (where dT/dS>0) and, in places where it could be a problem, the limitation can be overcome by using multi-frequency techniques.  相似文献   

Sex differences in body morphology and multitrophic interactions involving the foraging behaviour of the crab Carcinus maenas     

Elizabeth H. Spooner  Ross A. Coleman  & Martin J. Attrill 《Marine Ecology》2007,28(3):394-403

Many animals are sexually dimorphic, but the underlying evolutionary causes and ecological consequences of sexual dimorphism are not fully understood. One predicted consequence for sexual dimorphism is that different sexes show niche differentiation. If sexual dimorphism is in feeding appendages, then differences may be manifested by different diets and thus contrasting behavioural responses to potential prey. Sexual dimorphisms in feeding appendages may also result in different handling times, which may then be correlated with differences in exposure, and, hence predation risk to the predator while feeding. In addition, the prey of the sexually dimorphic predator may respond differently to cues from each sex according to the predation risk each presents to the prey. We tested these predictions using a crab (Carcinus maenas) with sexual dimorphism in chelae dimensions, its predator the cuttlefish Sepia officinalis and prey with known differences in handling times; the gastropod molluscs Gibbula umbilicalis and Littorina littorea. We demonstrated that male C. maenas orientated more frequently to cues from L. littorea whereas females orientated more towards G. umbilicalis in contradiction of patterns predicted by handling times. Male crabs had a faster heart rate than females but this was not influenced by food‐based cues. We also showed no difference in foraging times with respect to changing levels of predator risk and also no differences in gastropod responses to odours from male or female crabs. Our results showed that predictions of handling time and sexual dimorphism are not associated. The experiments indicated the male and female crabs are probably ecological equivalents and thus niche differentiation is less likely.  相似文献
