The conditional probabilities (CP) method implements a new procedure for the generation of transmissivity fields conditional to piezometric head data capable to sample nonmulti-Gaussian random functions and to integrate soft and secondary information. The CP method combines the advantages of the self-calibrated (SC) method with probability fields to circumvent some of the drawbacks of the SC method—namely, its difficulty to integrate soft and secondary information or to generate non-Gaussian fields. The SC method is based on the perturbation of a seed transmissivity field already conditional to transmissivity and secondary data, with the perturbation being function of the transmissivity variogram. The CP method is also based on the perturbation of a seed field; however, the perturbation is made function of the full transmissivity bivariate distribution and of the correlation to the secondary data. The two methods are applied to a sample of an exhaustive non-Gaussian data set of natural origin to demonstrate the interest of using a simulation method that is capable to model the spatial patterns of transmissivity variability beyond the variogram. A comparison of the probabilistic predictions of convective transport derived from a Monte Carlo exercise using both methods demonstrates the superiority of the CP method when the underlying spatial variability is non-Gaussian.  相似文献   

Very massive stars: Evolution with mass loss     

Jaime Klapp 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1983,93(2):313-345

The evolution of mass-losing very massive stars in the 500–10000M _⊙ range has been investigated for two different initial compositions, (X, Z)=(0.8,0.0) and (X, Z)=(1.0,0.0). The evolutionary tracks are governed by two opposing factors which are the increase in the mean molecular weight in the convective core and the effect of mass loss. Conservative evolution of stars with massM?10000M _⊙ is similar to that of massive stars (20–100M _⊙), always moving to lower effective temperatures. For low values of the standard mass loss parameterN (50?N?200) the two opposing factors are almost in balance and the star is forced to move in a series of loops. For higher mass loss rates the loops disappear. In the 10000M _⊙ case no loops are observed and the tracks always move to higher effective temperatures. For a given mass loss rate the transition between right and left moving tracks occurs at higher masses the lower is the mass loss rate.  相似文献   

Hysteretic energy spectrum and damage control   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Rafael Riddell  Jaime E. Garcia 《地震工程与结构动力学》2001,30(12):1791-1816

The inelastic response of single‐degree‐of‐freedom (SDOF) systems subjected to earthquake motions is studied and a method to derive hysteretic energy dissipation spectra is proposed. The amount of energy dissipated through inelastic deformation combined with other response parameters allow the estimation of the required deformation capacity to avoid collapse for a given design earthquake. In the first part of the study, a detailed analysis of correlation between energy and ground motion intensity indices is carried out to identify the indices to be used as scaling parameters and base line of the energy dissipation spectrum. The response of elastoplastic, bilinear, and stiffness degrading systems with 5 per cent damping, subjected to a world‐wide ensemble of 52 earthquake records is considered. The statistical analysis of the response data provides the factors for constructing the energy dissipation spectrum as well as the Newmark–Hall inelastic spectra. The combination of these spectra allows the estimation of the ultimate deformation capacity required to survive the design earthquake, capacity that can also be presented in spectral form as an example shows.

The spectrum of fireball light taken with a 2-m telescope     

Jiří Borovička  Jaime Zamorano 《Earth, Moon, and Planets》1995,68(1-3):217-222

A bright fireball appeared on the sky during the spectrophotometric observations with the 2.2-m telescope at the Calar Alto Observatory. The CCD spectrum of the scattered light of the fireball has been recorded. The spectrum is typical for a very bright, slowly moving fireball. For the first time, the spectral region 6600 – 7150 Å could be studied in such a case. Six spectral lines were identified here, the most remarkable being the lithium line at 6708 Å. The estimated lithium abundance proved to be consistent with meteoritic values.  相似文献

An experimental evaluation of Shaw’s paleointensity method and its modifications using Late Quaternary basalts     

Juan MoralesAvto Goguitchaichvili  Jaime Urrutia-Fucugauchi 《Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors》2003,138(1):1-10

Absolute paleointensity experiments were carried out using Shaw’s method [Geophys. J. Res. Astr. Soc. 39 (1974) 133] and its modifications [Geophys. J. Res. Astr. Soc. 54 (1978) 241; Geophys. J. Int. 80 (1985) 773; Geophys. J. Int. 118 (1994) 781] on 49 samples belonging to six Late Quaternary basaltic flows from central Mexico. Samples were selected from a large collection because of their low viscosity index, stable remanent magnetization and close to reversible continuous thermomagnetic curves. Moreover, they previously yielded high quality Thellier paleointensity results, which makes them good candidates to assess the reliability of Shaw’s paleointensity method. Only 13 samples yielded acceptable results using Shaw’s original method (ARM₂/ARM₁ ratio varies from 0.95 to 1.05 for accepted determinations) although 6 samples do not pass the validity test proposed by Tsunakawa and Shaw [Geophys. J. Int. 118 (1994) 781] and thus should be rejected for paleointensity analyses. Rolph and Shaw’s [Geophys. J. Int. 80 (1985) 773] method gives reliable determination only in one case and no single determination was obtained by Kono’s [Geophys. J. Res. Astr. Soc. 54 (1978) 241] modification. Our results indicate an extremely low success rate of Shaw’s paleointensity method, which may be due to magneto-chemical changes that occurred during heating of samples above their Curie temperatures.  相似文献   

Engineering geological mapping developed in the Fortaleza Metropolitan Region, State of Ceara, Brazil     

Lzaro Valentin Zuquette  Osni Jos Pejon  Jaime Quintas dos Santos Collares 《Engineering Geology》2004,71(3-4):227-253

Engineering geological mapping was carried out, at a scale of 1:100,000, in the Fortaleza Metropolitan Region, located in northeastern Brazil, to provide engineering geological information as an aid in planning land use and occupation. In this study, eight basic maps were produced drawing: urban areas, lithology, unconsolidated materials in addition to geomorphological map showing slopes, water resources, engineering geological zoning and distribution of geological–geotechnical environmental problems based on information collected through field and laboratory investigations. The region was divided into nine engineering geological zones analyzed in terms of geohazard susceptibility and foundation, excavation and waste disposal conditions.  相似文献   

Impact ejecta and carbonate sequence in the eastern sector of the Chicxulub crater     

Jaime Urrutia-Fucugauchi  Jose Maria Chavez-Aguirre  Ligia Prez-Cruz  Jose Luis De la Rosa 《Comptes Rendus Geoscience》2008,340(12):801-810

The Chicxulub 200 km diameter crater located in the Yucatan platform of the Gulf of Mexico formed 65 Myr ago and has since been covered by Tertiary post-impact carbonates. The sediment cover and absence of significant volcanic and tectonic activity in the carbonate platform have protected the crater from erosion and deformation, making Chicxulub the only large multi-ring crater in which ejecta is well preserved. Ejecta deposits have been studied by drilling/coring in the southern crater sector and at outcrops in Belize, Quintana Roo and Campeche; little information is available from other sectors. Here, we report on the drilling/coring of a section of 34 m of carbonate breccias at 250 m depth in the Valladolid area (120 km away from crater center), which are interpreted as Chicxulub proximal ejecta deposits. The Valladolid breccias correlate with the carbonate breccias cored in the Peto and Tekax boreholes to the south and at similar radial distance. This constitutes the first report of breccias in the eastern sector close to the crater rim. Thickness of the Valladolid breccias is less than that at the other sites, which may indicate erosion of the ejecta deposits before reestablishment of carbonate deposition. The region east of the crater rim appears different from regions to the south and west, characterized by high density and scattered distribution of sinkholes.  相似文献
