 Raman spectra of hydrous β-Mg₂SiO₄ (1.65 wt% H₂O) have been measured in a diamond-anvil cell with helium as a pressure-transmitting medium at room temperature to 50 GPa. We observe three OH-stretching modes, a doublet with components at 3329 and 3373 cm⁻¹, which decrease linearly with pressure, and a single mode at 3586 cm⁻¹, which remains nearly constant up to 24 GPa before decreasing at higher pressures. Assessment of the mode frequencies and their pressure dependence, together with previous results from X-ray and IR data, are consistent with protonation of the O1 site in agreement with previous studies. Strict assignment of Raman activity awaits detailed structural models. The nature of the protonation in wadsleyite may require more specific experimental probes for full solution of the hydrogen-site problem. Received: 18 July 2000 / Accepted: 22 November 2000  相似文献   

Chocolate in China: the cadbury experience     

L.J. Wood  S. Grosvenor 《The Australian geographer》1997,28(2):173-184

Since 1979, China's Open Door policy has attracted increasing foreign investment. To maintain global competitiveness, the British confectioner, Cadbury, authorised its Australian subsidiary to develop a chocolate plant in China. This paper details the decision‐making processes that eventually led to a new factory on a greenfield site near Beijing. It also illustrates some of the adaptations that Cadbury has had to make in its product and production procedures in order to match its own standards for dairy milk chocolate and yet accommodate guo qing (the special situation in China).  相似文献   

Migration velocity analysis using a genetic algorithm     

Paul Docherty  Ron Silva  Satish Singh  Zhong-Min Song  Margaret Wood 《Geophysical Prospecting》1997,45(5):865-878

Migration velocity analysis, a method for determining long wavelength velocity structure, is a critical step in prestack imaging. Solution of this inverse problem is made difficult by a multimodal objective function; a parameter space often vast in extent; and an evaluation procedure for candidate solutions, involving the calculation of depth-migrated image gathers, that can be prohibitively expensive. Recognizing the global nature of the problem, we employ a genetic algorithm (GA) in the search for the optimum velocity model. In order to describe a model efficiently, regions of smooth variation are identified and sparsely parametrized. Region boundaries are obtained via map migration of events picked on the zero-offset time section. Within a region, which may contain several reflectors, separate components describe long and short wavelength variations, eliminating from the parameter space, models with large velocity fluctuations. Vital to the success of the method is rapid model evaluation, achieved by generating image gathers only in the neighbourhood of specific reflectors. Probability of a model, which we seek to maximize, is derived from the flatness of imaged events. Except for an initial interpretation of the zero-offset time section, our method is automatic in that it requires no picking of residual moveout on migrated gathers. Using an example data set from the North Sea, we show that it is feasible to solve for all velocity parameters in the model simultaneously: the method is global in this respect also.  相似文献

Experimental tests of garnet peridotite oxygen barometry   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

G. Gudmundsson  B. J. Wood 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1995,119(1):56-67

We have performed experiments aimed at testing the calibration of oxygen barometers for the garnet peridotite [garnet (Gt)-olivine (Ol)-orthopyroxene (Opx)] phase assemblage. These involved equilibrating a thin layer of garnet sandwiched between layers of olivine and orthopyroxene at 1300°C and 23–35 kbar for 1–7 days. Oxygen fugacity was controlled (but not buffered) by using inner capsules of Fe?Pt alloy or graphitc or molybdenum sealed in welded Pt outer capsules. Post-experiment measurement of fO₂ was made by determining the compositions of Pt-Fe alloy sensors at the interface between garnet and olivine + orthopyroxene layers. The composition of alloy in equilibrium with olivine + orthopyroxene was approached from Fe-oversaturated and Fe-undersaturated conditions in the same experiment with, in general, excellent convergence. Product phase compositions were determined by electron microprobe and a piece of the garnet layer saved for ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. The latter gave the Fe³⁺ content of the garnet at the measured P-T-fO₂ conditions. Approach to equilibrium was checked by observed shifts in Fe³⁺ content and by the approach of garnet-olivine Fe?Mg partitioning to the expected value. The compositions of the phases were combined with mixing properties and thermodynamic data to calculate an apparent fO₂ from two possible garnet oxybarometers:- (1) $\begin{gathered} 2Ca_3 Fe_2 Si_3 O_{12} + 2Mg_3 Al_2 Si_3 O_{12} + 4FeSiO_3 = 2Ca_3 Al_2 Si_3 O_{12} \hfill \\ Gt Gt Opx Gt \hfill \\ + 8FeSi_{0.5} O_2 + 6MgSiO_3 + O \hfill \\ Ol Opx \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $ and (2) $\begin{gathered} 2Fe_3 Fe_2 Si_3 O_{12} = 8FeSi_{0.5} O_2 + 2FeSi_3 O_2 \hfill \\ Gt Ol Opx \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $ Comparison of calculated fO₂s with those measured by the Pt-Fe sensors demonstrated that either barometer gives the correct answer within the expected uncertainty. Data from the first (Luth et al. 1990) has an uncertainty of about 1.6 logfO₂ units, however, while that from equilibrium (2) (Woodland and O'Neill 1993) has an error of +/- 0.6 log units, comparable to that of the spinel peridotite oxybarometer. We therefore conclude that equilibrium (2) may be used to calculate the fO₂ recorded by garnet peridotites with an uncertainty of about +/- 0.6 log units, providing the potential to probe the oxidation environment of the deep continental lithosphere. Preliminary application based on data from Luth et al. (1990) indicates that garnet peridotite xenoliths from Southern Africa record oxygen fugacities about 3.0 log units below the FMQ (fayalite-magnetite-quartz) buffer. These are substantially more reducing conditions than those recorded by continental spinel lherzolites which typically give oxygen fugacities close to FMQ (Wood et al. 1990).  相似文献   

Latent and sensible heat flux predictions from a uniform pine forest using surface renewal and flux variance methods   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Gabriel Katul  Cheng-I Hsieh  Ram Oren  David Ellsworth  Nathan Phillips 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1996,80(3):249-282

A surface renewal model that links organized eddy motion to the latent and sensible heat fluxes is tested with eddy correlation measurements carried out in a 13m tall uniform Loblolly pine plantation in Duke Forest, Durham, North Carolina. The surface renewal model is based on the occurance of ramp-like patterns in the scalar concentration measurements. To extract such ramp-like patterns from Eulerian scalar concentration measurements, a newly proposed time-frequency filtering scheme is developed and tested. The time-domain filtering is carried out using compactly-supported orthonormal wavelets in conjunction with the Universal Wavelet Thresholding approach of Donoho and Johnstone, while the frequency filtering is carried out by a band-pass sine filter centered around the ramp-occurrence frequency as proposed by other studies. The method was separately tested for heat and water vapour with good agreement between eddy correlation flux measurements and model predictions. The usefulness of the flux-variance method to predict sensible and latent heat fluxes is also considered. Our measurements suggest that the simple flux-variance method reproduces the measured heat and momentum fluxes despite the fact that the variances were measured within the roughness sublayer and not in the surface layer. Central to the predictions of water vapour fluxes using the flux-variance approach is the similarity between heat and water vapour transport by the turbulent air flow. This assumption is also investigated for this uniform forest terrain.  相似文献

THE MODIFICATION OF A TOPOGRAPHIC PLOTTER AND ITS APPLICATION IN THE THREE DIMENSIONAL PLOTTING OF STEREOMICROGRAPHS     

R. Wood 《The Photogrammetric Record》1972,7(40):454-465

A number of proposals have been put forward for the extraction of three dimensional data from a pair of electron microscope photographs taken from different angles. The methods used have, in general, been either point by point analyses or rather inconvenient. This paper shows that an existing photogrammetric plotter of topographic accuracy can, with very simple modification, be converted to give continuous plotting facilities from certain such micrographs.  相似文献
