Ritz vectors and generation criteria for mode superposition analysis     

Kuan-Jung Joo  Edward L. Wilson  Pierre Leger 《地震工程与结构动力学》1989,18(2):149-167

A generation procedure of Ritz vectors to control the inclusion of static effect and the number of vectors in mode superposition dynamic analysis is presented. The original algorithm of the Ritz vectors¹⁵ is modified to improve stability in the generation procedure and to include the use of static residual. To reject unimportant Ritz vectors, cut-off criteria, which are based on the participation of mass distribution and spatial load distribution, are proposed. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the derived Ritz vectors over the eigenvectors and the performance of the cutoff criteria in the mode superposition dynamic analysis.  相似文献   

Recent dynamics of subarctic dunes as determined by tree-ring analysis of white spruce, Hudson Bay, Québec     

Pierre Marin  Louise Filion   《Quaternary Research》1992,38(3)

The radial-growth patterns of white spruce were studied on a number of trees growing in subarctic dunes along the eastern coast of Hudson Bay to calculate the rates of accumulation, erosion, and migration of cold-climate sand dunes. The average rate of sand accumulation in sheltered dunes (forest sites) was 2.5 to 3.3 cm/yr, which is two to three times lower than in highly exposed dunes with a rate of sedimentation of 7.65 cm/yr. The average erosion rate was 1.4–1.7 cm/yr, about two times lower than the accumulation rate. The migration rate of sheltered dunes was 18 to 30 cm/yr, three to five times lower than for an exposed dune which advanced at a speed of 74 cm/yr. This migration rate established for highly exposed dunes in the Subarctic with tree-ring methods is about 10 times lower than that established for a barchan in the Sahara with other methods.  相似文献   

A critical discussion of numerical models for multiaquifer systems     

Ismael Herrera  Jean Pierre Hennart  Robert Yates 《Advances in water resources》1980,3(4):159-163

Leaky aquifers constitute complicated hydrological structures, whose inclusion in numerical models of hydrological systems is difficult, because of their three-dimensional nature. Methods for treating such systems can be classified as fully three-dimensional and quasi-three-dimensional. The latter have clear numerical advantages when applicable. In this paper a critical discussion of existing quasi-three-dimensional models is presented.  相似文献   

Remarques comparatives sur quelques éléments sédimentologiques et paléogéographiques liés aux gisements de fer oolithiques du Djebel Ank (Tunisie) et de Lorraine (France)     

Pierre Nicolini 《Mineralium Deposita》1967,2(2):95-101

Résumé Bien que de moindre intérêt économique, le gisement de fer oolithique du Djebel Ank se rapporte au type «Lorraine».Il s'agit d'une minéralisation localisée vers le littoral d'un sillon intracratonique, en marge du domaine géosynclinal et située, comme en Lorraine, dans une séquence lithologique négative, mais à lithofaciès détritiques en Lorraine, chimiques en Tunisie. On note aussi la localisation des grands gisements de phosphates dans les mêmes faisceaux stratigraphiques et dans les mêmes types de séquences que le gisement de fer du Djebel Ank, fer et phosphate présentant une radioactivité du même ordre et étant situés sur le même linéament.

Although the Djebel Ank deposit is of less economic value, it may be correlated to «Lorraine» type. Mineralisation of Djebel Ank is found near the ancient shore line of a intracratonic trench on the border of geosynclinal area. The mineralisations both at Djebel Ank and Lorraine occur in a lithologic negative sequence, although the lithofacies are detridal in Lorraine and chemical in Tunisia. It is important to point out that phosphates and iron in Tunisia occur in the same stratigraphic series and in an identical type of lithologic sequence. Also iron ore is rich in phosphates. It is significant that the iron and phosphate contain same amount of radioactivities. Likewise, phosphate and iron in Tunisia are localized along a common «lineament».

Nitrogen compound emission from biomass burning in tropical African savanna FOS/DECAFE 1991 experiment (Lamto,Ivory Coast)     

Robert Delmas  Jean Pierre Lacaux  Jean Claude Menaut  Luc Abbadie  Xavier Le Roux  Gunter Helas  Jurgen Lobert 《Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry》1995,22(1-2):175-193

Gaseous nitrogen compounds (NO _x , NO _y , NH₃, N₂O) were measured at ground level in smoke plumes of prescribed savanna fires in Lamto, in the southern Ivory Coast, during the FOS/DECAFE experiment in January 1991. During the flaming phase, the linear regression between [NO _x ] and [CO₂] (differences in concentration between smoke plumes and atmosheric background) results volumic emission ratio [NO _x ]/[CO₂]=1.37×10^–3 with only slight differences between heading and backing fires. Nearly 90% of the nitrogen oxides are emitted as NO. Average emission ratios of other compounds are: 1.91, 0.047, and 0.145×10^–3 for NO _y , NH₃ and N₂O, respectively. The emission ratios obtained during this field experiment are compred with corresponding values measured during former experiments with the same plant species in combustion chambers. An accurate determination of both the biomass actually burned and of the plant nitrogen content, allows an assessment of emission fluxes of N-compounds from Guinean savanna burns. Preliminary results dealing with the influence of fire on biogenic emissions from soils are also reported.  相似文献   

Detection of underground cavities with monofrequency electromagnetic tomography between boreholes in the frequency range 100 MHz to 1 GHz1     

Philippe C&#x;te  Pierre Degauque  Richard Lagabrielle  Nathalie Levent 《Geophysical Prospecting》1995,43(8):1083-1107

In order to detect underground cavities, we have designed a geophysical method based on the interaction of a monochromatic electromagnetic wave in the frequency band 100 MHz to 1 GHz with the ground situated between two boreholes. Three different approaches are involved in the design of this EM tomographic method.

• 1 The application of an ‘exact’ theory is used to calculate artificial data, based on an integral equation method. These data are inverted using a tomographic algorithm whose basic assumptions are rather coarse. The results show that, however, cavities can very well be detected and their position recovered.
• 2 Data are obtained with a physical reduced-scale model in a water tank, in which all parameters are known in advance. The inversion process confirms the validity of the method.
• 3 Underground cavities are actually detected.

The above approaches are described and discussed and results are shown. The equipment involved and its operation is quite simple: the surface devices are commercially available and only the transmitter and receiver antennae must be specially built. The method is shown to be quite efficient and its cost should be reasonably low.  相似文献

Latest Precambrian to Early Cambrian U–Pb zircon ages of augen gneisses from Calabria (Italy), with inference to the Alboran microplate in the evolution of the peri-Gondwana terranes     

Francesca Micheletti  Pierre Barbey  Annamaria Fornelli  Giuseppe Piccarreta  Etienne Deloule 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》2007,96(5):843-860

In situ U–Pb dating of zircons from five samples of Calabrian augen gneisses shows that their protoliths are Latest Precambrian to Early Cambrian in age (562 ± 15, 547 ± 7, 540 ± 4, 539 ± 16 and 526 ± 10 Ma), and contain Archaean (3.1 Ga), Palaeoproterozoic (1.7–2.4 Ga) and Neoproterozoic (0.6–0.9 Ga) inheritance. Geochemical signature of augen gneisses is typical of high-K calc-alkaline post-collisional magmatism. Their Sr–Nd isotopic compositions [0.7093 < (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_i < 0.7139; −3.2 < ɛ_Nd(t) < −5.4; 1.5 < T _DM < 1.7 Ga] indicate the involvement of a crustal component in significant proportions. The Calabrian augen gneisses have, therefore, to be distinguished from the orthogneisses of Sardinia and northern Algeria, and from the porphyroids of Sicily, which are Middle Ordovician. By contrast, the Calabrian augen gneisses show a close similarity to the Pan-African post-collisional granitoids of the northern edge of the West African craton (e.g. the Moroccan Anti-Atlas). This suggests a peri-Gondwana origin and corroborates previous palaeogeodynamic reconstructions attributing the Alboran microplate to the northern margin of the West African craton.  相似文献
