A series of Cr-substituted goethites with (Cr:Fe molar ratio up to 0.12) were prepared. Thermal analysis of the solids indicates the formation of cation-deficient compounds that are more stable towards the transformation to hematite as the Cr content increases. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) techniques were used to assess the structural characteristics of the whole series of the substituted solids. XRD patterns demonstrate that the order around Fe remains typical of a goethite-like structure. Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction data indicates that the incorporation of Cr causes a slight decrease in the cell volume with the c-cell parameter following the Vegard’s law. This decrease is accompanied by changes in opposite directions of the various Me-Me distances. EXAFS spectra at the Fe K-edge indicate that the local order around the Fe atom changes slightly upon Cr substitution: Measurements in the Cr K-edge show that the Cr environment remains unchanged in the whole series. All the observed trends in both average Rietveld and local EXAFS distances can be traced back to the differences in the coordination polyhedra around Cr and Fe. The polyhedron around Cr is more symmetric and can be described as Cr(OH0.5)6 as opposed to the polyhedron around Fe that contains two distinct sets of ligands, FeO3(OH)3. The effects caused by substitution are governed by this difference, rather than by the smaller size of Cr(III) as compared to Fe(III). Simultaneous use of XAS and Rietveld refinement of XRD data permits tracing the trends in the average long range ordering (Me-Me distances) to local changes in distances and angles when Cr3+ substitutes Fe3+ in goethite. Complex changes in the various interatomic distances and angles may result in deceivingly simple long-range trends. These trends are therefore of limited value as probes for the atomic scale changes. On the other hand, XAS provide direct information on the fundamental, atomic-scale changes. 相似文献

Rainfall over West Africa shows strong interannual variability related to changes in Sea Surface Temperature (SST). Nevertheless, this relationship seem to be non-stationary. A particular turning point is the decade of the 1970s, which witnessed a number of changes in the climatic system, including the climate shift of the late 1970s. The first aim of this study is to explore the change in the interannual variability of West African rainfall after this shift. The analysis indicates that the dipolar features of the rainfall variability over this region, related to changes in the Atlantic SST, disappear after this period. Also, the Pacific SST variability has a higher correlation with Guinean rainfall in the recent period. The results suggest that the current relationship between the Atlantic and Pacific El Ni?o phenomena is the principal responsible for these changes. A fundamental goal of climate research is the development of models simulating a realistic current climate. For this reason, the second aim of this work is to test the performance of Atmospheric General Circulation models in simulating rainfall variability over West Africa. The models have been run with observed SSTs for the common period 1957?C1998 as part of an intercomparison exercise. The results show that the models are able to reproduce Guinean interannual variability, which is strongly related to SST variability in the Equatorial Atlantic. Nevertheless, problems in the simulation of the Sahelian interannual variability appear: not all models are able to reproduce the observed negative link between rainfall over the Sahel and El Ni?o-like anomalies in the Pacific, neither the positive correlation between Mediterranean SSTs and Sahelian rainfall. 相似文献

The governance of large carnivores is often surrounded by conflicts. Along with the difficulties of governing large carnivores through centralized, top-down governing and a general shift towards participatory approaches in natural resource governance, this has led many countries to establish various collaborative measures in large carnivore governance – often presented as a catch-all solution to problems of legitimacy, democratic deficit and effectiveness. However, the field of large carnivore governance currently lacks a coherent understanding of strengths and weaknesses of different kinds of collaborative arrangements. In this paper, we address this knowledge gap. Using the framework of modes of governance to categorize and compare the governance of large carnivores in Norway, Sweden and Finland, we discuss the potential and limitations of various governance modes and identify gaps in contemporary research literature. The main conclusion is that all three governance systems need to incorporate more interactive governance elements. 相似文献

Understanding the role of the ionospheric delay in single-point single-epoch GPS coordinates 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Elsa Mohino 《Journal of Geodesy》2008,82(1):31-45
The ionospheric delay is the main source of error for single-point single-epoch (SPSE) GPS positioning when using single-frequency
receivers. In contrast to the common slant approach, in this article we focus on its effect in final coordinates through the
study of bias propagation in SPSE positioning: we first show an analytical resolution for the propagation problem with highly
symmetric satellite configurations. To overcome some of the disadvantages of this first method, we use Santerre’s technique
and, finally, present a new numerical methodology that allows us to generalize for a real geometry and obtain an average ionospheric
positioning error over a given site. From the results obtained, four working hypotheses that relate the ionospheric shape
above the receiver with final position errors are presented and tested. These four hypotheses, which agree with average ionospheric
positioning error in 95% of the studied cases, can be related to the construction of the design matrix. Finally, these hypotheses
have been used to address a situation where the ionospheric delay is corrected with an ionospheric model. 相似文献

Experimental quantification of plagioclase crystal size distribution during cooling of a basaltic liquid 总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2

An experimental study has been conducted to constrain how thermal history controls crystal size distribution (CSD) of plagioclase
in cooling basalts. Data from all experiments are dominated by a log-linear segment of decreasing number density with increasing
crystal size, consistent with observations in many natural rocks. The slope of the CSD is found to be a function of cooling
rate, faster cooling leading to greater slopes. At constant cooling rate the CSDs flatten as temperature decreases, and are
sometimes kinked, characteristics consistent with independent textural observations that crystal agglomeration contributes
significantly to crystal “growth”. A downturn is observed toward small size, which suggests Ostwald ripening. Furthermore,
we find that thermal history above the liquidus has a major influence on CSDs and on the temperatures of phase appearance.
We conclude that near the liquidus heterogeneous nucleation typically dominates.

In the present study, an ANOVA-like inference technique is used aiming at to assess if Alentejo, southern Portugal, could be considered a homogeneous region for drought management purposes. First, Alentejo was divided into four sub-regions according to latitude (north and south), and longitude (west and east). Inside each sub-region, 10 weather stations were considered. The time series of the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) were obtained for these stations using precipitation data for the period 1932–1999 (67 years). Contingency tables for the transitions between SPI drought classes were obtained for these time series. Loglinear models were fitted to these contingency tables to estimate the probabilities for drought class transitions. An ANOVA-like inference was applied considering the four sub-regions like treatments of a two way layout with two factors, latitude and longitude, each one with two levels, north and south, and west and east respectively. The weather stations of each sub-region were treated as replicates. Significant differences between west and east were found, that allowed to consider that Alentejo could be composed by two sub-regions. 相似文献

Two series of (Al,Mn)-substituted goethites were synthesized from ferrihydrite made in alkaline media, with different Al/Mn mole ratios ([Al + Mn]/Fe molar ratio up to 0.12). Powder X-ray diffraction and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) techniques were used to assess the structural characteristics of the simultaneous substitution in goethite. XRD patterns revealed that all the obtained solids remain in a goethite-like structure. Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction data indicates that the increasing Mn substitution and consequent decrease of Al substitution causes an increase in the unit cell volume. This change is accompanied by the increment of the various Me-Me distances. XANES spectra at the Al and Mn K-edge confirm the octahedral coordination of Al and the trivalent oxidation state of the Mn ion in all the synthesized samples. EXAFS spectra at the Fe K-edge indicate that the local order around the Fe atom remains practically constant upon (Mn,Al) substitution. Measurements in the Mn K-edge show that distances Mn-Me suffer different changes with the increase in Mn substitution: a marked decrease in E and a slight decrease in E′, while DC remains constant. E and E′ values correspond to the distance between one Mn and one neighboring Me (Fe, Mn, Al) atom, both situated in two polyhedra linked by an edge. These polyhedra belong to the same double row of the goethite structure. DC value corresponds to the distance between one Mn and one Me (Fe, Mn, Al) atom, situated in two octahedral linked by one corner and belonging to two adjacent double chains. All the intermetallic distances are minor than the corresponding singly substituted goethites, this fact is attributed to the structure contraction due to the presence of Al(III) which restrains the axial distortion of Mn. Dissolution-time curves, resulting from exposure to 6 M HCl at 318 K, show that the dissolution rate slows with increasing Al substitution and consequent decrease of Mn substitution, and the shape of the curve becomes increasingly sigmoidal for mixed goethite with large Al content and Al-goethite. Dissolution kinetics of most samples are well described by the Kabai equation. Al dissolves almost congruently with respect to Fe, implying that it is homogeneously distributed in the structure. However, the convex χMn:χFe curve indicates that Mn tends to be concentrated in the outer layers of the goethite particles. 相似文献

Ethnic groups’ response to the 26 December 2004 earthquake and tsunami in Aceh, Indonesia 总被引：4，自引：4，他引：0

The 26 December 2004 earthquake and tsunami unfairly hit the different ethnic groups of Aceh, Indonesia. About 170,000 Acehnese
and Minangkabau people died in the Northern tip of Sumatra while only 44 Simeulue people passed away in the neighbouring Simeulue
island located near the earthquake epicentre. Such a difference in the death toll does not lie in the nature of the hazard
but in different human behaviours and ethnic contexts. The present study draws on a contextual framework of analysis where
people’s behaviour in the face of natural hazards is deeply influenced by the cultural, social, economic and political context.
Questionnaire-based surveys among affected communities, key informant interviews and literature reviews show that the people
of Simeulue detected the tsunami very early and then escaped to the mountains. On the other hand, Acehnese and Minangkabau
people, respectively in the cities of Banda Aceh and Meulaboh, did not anticipate the phenomenon and were thus caught by the
waves. The different behaviours of the victims have been commanded by the existence or the absence of a disaster subculture
among affected communities as well as by their capacity to protect themselves in facing the tsunami. People’s behaviours and
the capacity to protect oneself can be further tracked down to a deep tangle of intricate factors which include the armed
conflict that has been affecting the province since the 1970s, the historical and cultural heritage and the national political
economy system. This paper finally argues that the uneven impact of the 26 December 2004 earthquake and tsunami in Aceh lies
in the different daily life conditions of the ethnic groups struck by the disaster. 相似文献
