Observations of sunspot umbral velocity oscillations     

Arvind Bhatnagar  W. C. Livingston  J. W. Harvey 《Solar physics》1972,27(1):80-88

Sunspot umbral molecular lines have been used to look for the oscillatory velocities in the umbra. Power spectrum analysis showed conspicuous power for periods in the range between 448 and 310 s. The maximum peak-to-peak amplitude of the umbral oscillatory velocity component is observed to be in the order of 0.5 km s^–1.Visiting Astronomer, Solar Division, Kitt Peak National ObservatoryOperated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under contract with the National Science Foundation.  相似文献

A spatially and temporally adaptive solution of Richards’ equation     

Cass T. Miller  Chandra Abhishek  Matthew W. Farthing 《Advances in water resources》2006

Efficient, robust simulation of groundwater flow in the unsaturated zone remains computationally expensive, especially for problems characterized by sharp fronts in both space and time. Standard approaches that employ uniform spatial and temporal discretizations for the numerical solution of these problems lead to inefficient and expensive simulations. In this work, we solve Richards’ equation using adaptive methods in both space and time. Spatial adaption is based upon a coarse grid solve and a gradient error indicator using a fixed-order approximation. Temporal adaption is accomplished using variable order, variable step size approximations based upon the backward difference formulas up to fifth order. Since the advantages of similar adaptive methods in time are now established, we evaluate our method by comparison with a uniform spatial discretization that is adaptive in time for four different one-dimensional test problems. The numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method provides a robust and efficient alternative to standard approaches for simulating variably saturated flow in one spatial dimension.  相似文献   

3d landscape modelling using java 3d/vrml     

Milap Punia  Durgesh Pandey 《Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing》2006,34(4):397-403

Interactive visualization has been an integral part of landscape simulation to facilitate understanding of environmental processes. In most cases, however, interaction with the data is limited to viewing only. Thus to support more 3D interaction, in this study an attempt has been made to apply multi-view approach of the model for orientation, navigation and selection as visual metaphors on the landscape. This paper further describes how JAVA 3D/VRML can be used to model a landscape for better user interaction and exploration. Data used for generation of landscape model is SRTM-3 pertaining to a part of Alwar district in Rajasthan. This study emphasizes the importance of user interaction with 3D landscape for visualizing future design implications, landuse change and visual exploration.  相似文献

Large-scale cenozoic tectonics of Central and South-central Asia: Products of continental collision     

Umesh Chandra 《Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors》1979,20(1):33-41

Three basic tectonic units, the Eurasian continent, the Rigid Boundary Zone and the Indian continent, are recognized. The Rigid Boundary Zone is identified with aseismic lineaments on an epicenter map of the Himalayas and their vicinity. The origin of the Himalayan syntaxes, their re-entrant character, and the observation that most of the Himalayas are made up of rocks belonging geologically to the Indian peninsular shield, are explained by deformation of the Indian continent within this Rigid Boundary Zone since the continental collision. The focal mechanism solutions of six earthquakes in the Indian Peninsula support the inference derived from the model that the high stresses generated by the continental collision may be very extensive spatially, and that the entire Indian Peninsula may be under a state of left lateral shear along NNE vertical planes.  相似文献   

Lower Miocene (Aquitanien-Burdigalian) palaeobiogeography of the Indian subcontinent     

Dr. Ashok Sahni  Mr. Harish Chandra Mitra 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1980,69(3):824-848

The paper analytically discusses certain palaeoecological criteria in the reconstruction of Lower Miocene (Aquitanian-Burdigalian) palaeobiogeography of the Indian subcontinent. The period is characterised by major marine transgressions and a prolific marine invertebrate and terrestrial vertebrate faunas. Faunal affinities of molluscs from western (Sind-Baluchistan) and eastern (Garo Hills) sectors are distinct and different. Molluscs of Garo Hills show affinity to Burmese species, whereas Sind-Baluchistan species shows similarity to that of the Mediterranean region. Marine molluscs resemble with the present-day taxa of the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal, where more than 35% species are common. This similarity is also evidenced by marine elasmobranchs, where approximately 33% species and 86% genera are similar to that of the Recent taxa. Terrestrial mammals show an intermingling of southern U.S.S.R. and African forms along with the presence of probably some groups belonging to the Indian subcontinent.Angiosperms are the dominant group. The Lower Miocene floras of the eastern and the western sectors are entirely different. The palm,Sabal major andPinus are reported from various localities. The climate in the western sector and South India was tropical, whereas in the eastern sector, it was variable.The Lower Miocene period is also marked by the contraction of Sindhu Sea, Bangla Sea and the Burmese Gulf southwards resulting in the final disappearance of the sea by the Pliocene.

Zusammenfassung Die Paläobiogeographie des unteren Miocän (Aquitan-Burdigal) läßt sich auf dem indischen Subkontinent aus den palökologischen Daten rekonstruieren. Zu dieser Zeit gab es viele marine Invertebraten und terrestrische Vertebraten-Faunen, die große marine Transgression anzeigen. Die Mollusken des Westens (Find-Baluchistan) und Ostens (Garo-Gebirge) sind unterschiedlich. Die Mollusken des Garo-Gebirges sind mit den Spezies von Burma verwandt. Dagegen sind die Faunen von Sind-Baluchistan für die mediterrane Faunenprovinz typisch. Die marinen Mollusken sind verwandt mit den Faunen des Arabischen Meeres und der Bucht von Bengalen; etwa 35% der Spezies sind gleich. Von den marinen Elasmobranchien sind ungefähr 33 % Spezies und 86% Genera gleich wie man sie in den rezenten Faunen findet. Terrestrische Sänger zeigen eine Mischung von südlicher U.S.S.R. und Afrika mit einigen Teilen des Indischen Subkontinentes.In den Pflanzen-Gruppen herrschen die Angiospermen vor. Die Untermiocän-Flora der östlichen und westlichen Gebiete ist ganz unterschiedlich. Der Palme, dieSabal Major undPinus sind aus verschiedenen Lokalitäten bekannt. Das Klima im Westen und im Süden Indiens war tropisch, im Osten dagegen war es wechselfeucht.Das Untermiocän-Meer im Gebiet Sind, Bangladesh und Burma verschwindet vor dem Pliozän.

Résumé Cet article analyse certains critères paléoécologiques dans la reconstitution de la paléogéographie du Miocène inférieur (Aquitanien-Burdigalien) de l'Inde subcontinentale. La période est caractérisée par de grandes transgressions marines et par des faunes abondantes d'invertébrés marins et de vertébrés terrestres. Les affinités fauniques des mollusques sont différentes dans les secteurs occidentaux (Sind-Baluchistan) et orientaux (Garo Hills). Les mollusques des Garo Hills montrent des affinités avec les espèces de Burma, tandis que les espèces de Sind-Béloutchistan montrent des similitudes avec celles de la région méditerranéenne. Les mollusques marins ont des ressemblances avec les taxons actuels de la Mer d'Arabie et du Golfe du Bengal, où plus de 35% des espèces sont les mÊmes. Cette similarité vaut aussi pour les élasmobranches marin, dont 33% des espèces et 86% des genres ressemblent aux taxons récents. Les mammifères terrestres montrent un mélange de formes du sud de l'U.S.S.R. et de formes africaines, allant de pair avec la présence de certains groupes probables appartenant au sous-continent indien.Les angiospermes forment le groupe dominant. Les formes du Miocène inférieur des secteurs orientaux et occidentaux sont entièrement différentes. Le palmier, le grand Sabal et le pin, sont connus dans différentes localités. Le climat dans le secteur occidental et dans l'Inde méridionale était tropical, tandis que dans le secteur oriental, il était variable.La période du Miocène inférieur est également marquée par le rétrécissement de la Mer de Sindhu, de la Mer de Bangla et du Golfe de Burma vers le sud, avec comme résultat la disparition finale de la mer au Pliocène.

Protein Digestibility by Khosti Fish Colisa fasciatus (Pisces,Anabantidae) under the Influence of Certain Factors     

H. S. Pandey  R. P. Singh 《洁净——土壤、空气、水》1980,8(6):583-589

Protein digestibility was determined via two feeding trials in glass aquaria by the indicator (Chromium oxide) method using a mixture of shrimp powder with oil cake and wheat bran respectively (1: 1 W/W) as food. Analyses of feed were made to calculate the crude protein, carbohydrate, lipid and ash contents. Feces were analysed to determine their total nitrogen and chromium oxide. Protein digestibility was studied in relation to salinity of the medium size and weight of the fish body. The apparent digestibility of crude protein of a corresponding die has shown that 1st: Younger fish do possess a lower capability of protein digestion than fish having a medium weight and medium size; 2nd: Older fish with a high weight and large size exhibit no improvement in efficiency to digest the food protein, though their weight and size are significantly greater than those of middle weight and medium size fish; 3rd: The replacement of oil cake by wheat bran decreases the protein digestibility of shrimp powder mixture with them; 4th: A salinity (NaCl) of the aquatic medium at or above 3 g/l depletes the protein digestibility when fish of the same size were experimented with; but a salinity up to 2 g/l does not result in a significant decrease in the protein digestion rate.  相似文献   

Manual interpretation of (land sat-1) imagery for assessment of area under shifting cultivation in the district of Keonjhar,Orissa-India     

K. N. Chari  N. C. Pandey  G. Mahapatra  C. Patro 《Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing》1978,6(2):57-62

In order to prepare schemes for Land reclamation, plantation and permanent settlement of the tribals of shifting cutivation areas in Orrisa a proper survey is a prerequisite. Earlier attempts vaguely idenified these areas. Wide disparity in data are found in the reports from different sources. Interpretation of LANDSAT-1 imagery can be used to study shifting cultivation areas in a scientific way. Lack of forests on sloping land is the chief characteristic of shifting cullivation areas. Landsat observation along with classified slope from topographic sheets provide most reliable and accurate data by minimising human error.  相似文献
