A method for the simultaneous determination of Cd with In, Tl and Bi by isotope dilution‐internal standardisation (ID‐IS) ICP‐QMS using the same aliquot for rare earth element and other trace element determinations was developed. Samples mixed with an enriched ¹⁴⁹Sm spike were decomposed using a HF‐HClO₄ mixture, which was evaporated and then diluted with HNO₃. After determination of Sm by ID‐ICP‐QMS and Cd, In, Tl and Bi concentrations were determined using the ¹⁴⁹Sm intensity as an internal standard. The interference of MoO⁺ on Cd⁺ was corrected using the MoO⁺/Mo⁺ ratio separately measured using a Mo standard solution, and the validity of the externally determined oxide‐forming ratio correction was evaluated. The MoO⁺/Mo⁺ ratios measured using the standard solution and samples were ～ 0.0002 and < 0.002, respectively. Detection limits for Cd, In, Tl and Bi in silicate samples were at levels of < 1 ng g^?1 with a total uncertainty of < 7%. Cadmium in the carbonaceous chondrites, Orgueil (CI1), Murchison (CM2) and Allende (CV3) as well as Cd, In, Tl and Bi in the reference materials, JB‐2, JB‐3, JA‐1, JA‐2, JA‐3, JP‐1 (GSJ), BHVO‐1, AGV‐1, PCC‐1 and DTS‐1 (USGS) and NIST SRM 610, 612, 614 and 616 were determined to show the applicability of this method.  相似文献   

Application of the Pi theorem to the wear rate of gouge formation in frictional sliding of rocks     

Hiroyuki Nagahama  Norihiro Nakamura 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1994,142(3-4):795-808

A simple law of wear rate is examined for the process of gouge generation during the frictional sliding of simulated faults in rocks, by use of the Pi theorem method (dimensional analysis) and existing experimental data. The relationship between wear rate (t/d) and the applied stress can be expressed by the power-law relations $$\frac{t}{d} = C_\sigma \sigma ^{m\sigma } ,\frac{t}{d} = C_\tau \tau ^{m\tau }$$ wheret is the thickness of the gouge generated on the frictional surfaces,d is the fault displacement, σ and τ are normal stress and shear stress, respectively, andC _σ,C _τ,m _σ andm _τ are constants. These results indicate that the exponent coefficientsm _σ andm _τ and the coefficientsC _σ andC _τ depend on the material hardness of the frictional surfaces. By using the wear rates of natural faults, these power-law relationships may prove to be an acceptable palaeopiezometer of natural faults and the lithosphere.  相似文献   

Sediment routing analyses based on chronological changes in hillslope and riverbed morphologies     

Futoshi Nakamura  Hideji Maita  Tohru Araya 《地球表面变化过程与地形》1995,20(4):333-346

Recent studies of sediment delivery and budgets in the United States indicate that upland erosion rates at a given time may not explain contemporaneous sediment yields from a drainage basin. This suggests temporal discontinuities in sediment delivery associated with hillslope and channel storage processes. Integration of sediment production, storage and transport is essential to understand sediment routing in basins. We analysed each process chronologically using aerial photographs, monitoring data of sediment movement and annual tree-rings, and then compared estimated temporal changes in sediment production from hillslopes, floodplain disturbance areas and sediment transport in river channels. Toeslopes, floodplains and alluvial fans together contained 59 per cent of sediment eroded from uplands over the last 30 years. Monitoring results of riverbed changes showed that the volume of stored sediment on floodplains decreased exponentially with succeeding floods. The age distribution of floodplain deposits reflected the disturbance history of a river channel, and followed an exponential decrease with age. The results of this study may have important implications for sediment control plans for watersheds in steep regions.  相似文献   

Short-term and intermediate-term geochemical precursors   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Detection of precursory phenomena in observation data is essential to earthquake prediction studies. Continuous monitoring of radon concentration in groundwater in Japan in one case showed a short-term anomaly related to a nearby earthquake. With the exception of the 1978 Izu-Oshimakinkai earthquake (M7.0), however, no abnormal change has been noted. This may be due partially to difficulty in detecting insignificant precursory signals from observation data, which ordinarily contains a noise-induced fluctuations, and partially to lack of understanding of the mechanism controlling the appearance of precursory phenomena. In order to increase our knowledge of the variation pattern of precursory changes in radon concentration of groundwater, hydrologic precursors with significant features are examined in this paper. Complexity of appearance of precursory phenomena and problems in assignment of the specific earthquake are discussed.  相似文献

The formation mechanism of the nocturnal urban boundary layer (UBL), especially in the winter nighttime, was investigated based on the extensive field observations conducted during November 1984 in Sapporo, Japan.

Morphological classification of nearby galaxies based on asymmetry and luminosity concentration     

M. Yagi  Y. Nakamura  M. Doi  K. Shimasaku  S. Okamura 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2006,368(1):211-220

We investigate the behaviour of the asymmetry parameter A as a morphological parameter using a 'volume-limited' sample of 349 galaxies  (distance ≤25 Mpc,  M_V ≤−18.5 mag)  and a larger magnitude-limited sample of 707 nearby galaxies. We confirm the correlation of A with morphological type. The late-type galaxies (Sdm, Sm and Im) have larger A than early-type galaxies, and they tend to have larger A than spiral galaxies. We investigate the usefulness of the A versus concentration index C _in diagram as a tool for the regular–irregular and early–late classification. The diagram is not very useful to the regular versus late-type irregular classification, as inferred previously, but it is found to be useful to the early–late classification.  相似文献   

The fading of supernova 1997D

We present a new set of spectroscopic and photometric data extending the observations of SN 1997D to over 400 d after the explosion. These observations confirm the peculiar properties of SN 1997D, such as the very low abundance of ⁵⁶Co (0.002 M_⊙) and the low expansion velocity of the ejecta (∼1000 km s⁻¹). We discuss the implications of these observations for the character of the progenitor and the nature of the remnant, showing that a Crab-like pulsar or an accreting neutron star formed in the explosion of a low-mass progenitor should already have produced a detectable luminosity at this epoch, in contrast with photometric data. On the other hand, the explosion of a high-mass progenitor with the formation of a black hole is consistent with the available observations. The consequences of this conclusion regarding the nature of the explosion and the prospects of directly identifying the black hole are also addressed.  相似文献   

Diurnal variation of CO₂ concentration, Δ¹⁴C and δ¹³C in an urban forest: estimate of the anthropogenic and biogenic CO₂ contributions     

Hiroshi A. Takahashi  Eiichi Konohira  Tetsuya Hiyama  Masayo Minami  Toshio Nakamura  Naohiro Yoshida 《Tellus. Series B, Chemical and physical meteorology》2002,54(2):97-109

Diurnal variation in the atmospheric CO₂ concentration and the carbon isotopic composition (Δ¹⁴C and δ¹³C) was measured in a forest in an urban area on 9 February 1999. The carbon isotope approach used in the present study differentiated between the quantitative contributions from anthropogenic and biogenic CO₂ sources in the urban atmosphere. The anthropogenic (fossil fuel) and biogenic (soil respiration) contributions was estimated, and they ranged from 1 to 16% and from 2 to 8% of the total atmospheric CO₂. The diurnal variation of the anthropogenic CO₂ was the major cause of the total atmospheric CO₂ variation, while the biogenic CO₂ remained relatively constant throughout the day. Estimating the contribution of soil respired CO₂ provided the mean residence time of soil respired CO₂ within the forest atmosphere.  相似文献   

Noble gas isotopes and mineral assemblages of Antarctic micrometeorites collected at the meteorite ice field around the Yamato Mountains     

Takahito Osawa  Tomoki Nakamura  Keisuke Nagao 《Meteoritics & planetary science》2003,38(11):1627-1640

Abstract— From November 1998 to January 1999, the 39th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) conducted a large‐scale micrometeorite collection at 3 areas in the meteorite ice field around the Yamato Mountains, Antarctica. The Antarctic micrometeorites (AMMs) collected were ancient cosmic dust particles. This is in contrast with the Dome Fuji AMMs, which were collected previously from fresh snows in 1996 and 1997 and which represent modern micrometeorites. To determine the noble gas concentrations and isotopic compositions of individual AMMs, noble gas analyses were carried out using laser‐gas extraction for 35 unmelted Yamato Mountains AMMs and 3 cosmic spherules. X‐ray diffraction analyses were performed on 13 AMMs before the noble gas measurement and mineral compositions were determined. AMMs are classified into 4 main mineralogical groups, defined from the heating they suffered during atmospheric entry. Heating temperatures of AMMs, inferred from their mineral compositions, are correlated with ⁴He concentrations and reflect the effect of degassing during atmospheric entry. Jarosite, an aqueous alteration product, is detected for 4 AMMs, indicating the aqueous alteration during long‐time storage in Antarctic ice. Jarosite‐bearing AMMs have relatively low concentrations of 4He, which is suggestive of loss during the alteration. High ³He/⁴He ratios are detected for AMMs with high ²⁰Ne/⁴He ratios, showing both cosmogenic ³He and preferential He loss. SEP (solar energetic particles)‐He and Ne, rather than the solar wind (SW), were dominant in AMMs, presumably showing a preferential removal of the more shallowly implanted SW by atmospheric entry heating. The mean ²⁰Ne/²²Ne ratio is 11.27 ± 0.35, which is close to the SEP value of 11.2. Cosmogenic ²¹Ne is not detected in any of the particles, which is probably due to the short cosmic ray exposure ages. Ar isotopic compositions are explained by 3‐component mixing of air, Q, and SEP‐Ar. Ar isotopic compositions can not be explained without significant contributions of Q‐Ar. SEP‐Ne contributed more than 99% of the total Ne. As for ³⁶Ar and ³⁸Ar, the abundance of the Q component is comparable to that of the SEP component. ⁸⁴Kr and ¹³²Xe are dominated by the primordial component, and solar‐derived Xe is almost negligible.  相似文献
