Paleogene sediments of the inner fold belt, Naga hills, have very well preserved ichnofossils. 16 ichnospecies have been documented among 13 ichnogenera such as Arenicolites isp., Chondrites targionii, Cylindrichnus isp., Diplocraterion parallelum, Gyrochorte isp., Ophiomorpha annulata, O. irregulaire, O. nodosa, O. rudis, Palaeophycus tubularis, Planolites beverleyensis, Scolicia palaeobullia, Skolithos linearis, Trypinites weisei, Thalassinoides horizontalis and Zoophycos isp. The ichnofossil assemblages comprise mostly domichnia and fodinichnia benthos of the Skolithos and Cruziana ichnofacies. A shallow marine nearshore to offshore marine environment with fluctuating energy condition has been envisaged.  相似文献   

Distribution functions in the statistical theory of convective MHD turbulence of an incompressible fluid     

M. S. Alam Sarker  N. Kishore 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1991,181(1):29-42

In this paper, we define a hierarchy of distribution functions for simultaneous velocity, magnetic, and temperature fields. Some properties of the constructed distribution functions such as reduction, separation, and coincidence are discussed. Equations for the evolution of one- and two-point distribution functions have been derived. Finally, a comparison of the equation for the single-point distribution function in case of zero viscosity, negligible diffusivity, and infinite electrical conductivity is made with first equation of BBGKY hierarchy in the kinetic theory of gases.On study leave from the Department of Mathematics, University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh.  相似文献   

Delineation using geophysical data of the hydrocarbon bearing zone in the Begumganj structure, Hatia Trough, southern Bengal Basin, Bangladesh     

Rashed Abdullah  Delwar Hossain  M. Rafiqul Alam 《Journal of the Geological Society of India》2013,82(3):271-276

The Begumganj structure of the Hatia Trough in Bengal Basin has proved it’s hydrocarbon potentiality. Several seismic sections have been analyzed to construct different maps and to interpret subsurface geology, structure and stratigraphy. These maps reveal that the Begumganj structure is an elongated to oval shaped asymmetrical anticline having the general trend NNW-SSE. No major faults affecting the structure could have been identified. Most of the reflectors are strongly affected by channels, especially at the western flank. Based on the analysis of seismic and available well data, the only gas bearing strata at depth of 2995 m (or TWT 2.02 seconds) has been identified. The structure is interpreted as a strati-structure entrapment because shale fill channel truncated this layer on western flank and at the crestal part of the anticline. The structure probably formed after the deposition of sediments. The channel has formed after the corresponding unit cut has been deposited. The channels eroding the reservoir unit range from Late Miocene to Early Pliocene age where the anticline probably begun to form during the Pliocene. Strong increase in amplitude (bright spot), possibly associated with hydrocarbon, has been apparent on seismic lines BG 9 and BG 10. The stratigraphic succession based on the information of the wells drilled on this structure and it’s surrounding fields reveals that the lithological sequences range from Miocene to Recent age where the only proven gas producing sand zone is located in the Bhuban Formation.  相似文献   

Structural control on landscape development of Barak Valley, northeast India     

A. Alam Laskar  P. Phukon 《Journal of the Geological Society of India》2013,81(2):232-240

The Barak Valley, comprising a contiguous region of three south Assam districts of Cachar, Hailakandi and Karimganj, represents a ridge and valley province with meridional to sub-meridional anticlinal hills and synclinal valleys. Thin skinned tectonics resulted in the deformation of Neogene clastics which is manifested in the form of a series of anticlines and synclines. These structural elements have profound control on the development of present-day landscape in Barak valley. Structurally controlled fluvial erosion produced a series of cuesta ridges and strike valleys which were further subjected to erosional dissection leading to development of numerous topographic highs. Along the northern part of Barak valley adjoining Barail range, three terrace levels stand out with topographic offsets of upto ～10 m. These terraces are linked to tectonic adjustments along Haflong-Disang Thrust that traverse along the Barail foothills. Numerous wetlands linked to fluvial activities and also isolated from the fluvial domain form a significant element of the Barak valley landscape. Some of these wetlands have their origin to tectonic activities of the region. While the trunk channel of the region follows a nearly E-W trend, all the major tributaries join it at nearly orthogonal position following the prevailing structural trend.  相似文献

Stochastic control of a micro-dam irrigation scheme for dry season farming   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

Micro-dams are expected to be feasible options for water resources development in semi-arid regions such as the Guinea savanna agro-ecological zone of West Africa. An optimal water management strategy in a micro-dam irrigation scheme supplying water from an existing reservoir to a potential command area is discussed in this paper based on the framework of stochastic control. Water intake facilities are assumed to consist of photovoltaic pumping system units and hoses. The knowledge of current states of the storage volume of the reservoir and the soil moisture in the command area is fed-back to the intake flow rate. A system of two stochastic differential equations is proposed as a model for the dynamics of the micro-dam irrigation scheme, so that temporally backward solution of the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation determines an optimal control, which represents the optimal water management strategy. A computational procedure using the finite element method is successfully implemented to provide comprehensive information on the optimal control. The results indicate that the water initially stored in the reservoir can support full irrigation for about 80 days under the optimal water management strategy, which is predominantly based on the demand-side principle. However, the volatility of the soil moisture in the command area must be reasonably small.  相似文献   

Organic carbon mobilization in a Bangladesh aquifer explained by seasonal monsoon-driven storativity changes     

Britta Planer-Friedrich  Cornelia Härtig  Heidi Lissner  Jörg Steinborn  Elke Süß  M. Qumrul Hassan  Anwar Zahid  Mahmood Alam  Broder Merkel 《Applied Geochemistry》2012

Currently, the most widely accepted hypothesis to explain high As concentrations in Bangladesh groundwaters is that dissolved organic C (DOC) reduces solid Fe (hydr)oxides and mobilizes sorbed arsenate. The nature of the DOC and its release mechanism are still controversial. Based on weekly to biweekly sampling over the course of one monsoon cycle at six monitoring wells of different depths, it is proposed that storativity changes drive natural DOC release from clay–peat layers to the adjacent aquifers. With a decrease in hydraulic heads during the dry season, total mineralization and DOC concentrations increased. With the onset of the rainy season and an increase in hydraulic heads, release of clay–peat derived components stopped and vertical water displacement due to groundwater recharge from rainwater occurred, causing aquifer flushing and a decrease in total mineralization and DOC concentrations. Total As and DOC concentrations correlated over depth. However, at the depth of maximum concentrations, the As peak was observed during the rainy season. At present, the reason for this inverse seasonal trend between As and DOC is unclear. Higher mineralization or DOC concentrations could lead to increased As sorption or the increased arsenite release is a time-lag abiotic or microbial response to the DOC peak. The vulnerability of the Pleistocene aquifer towards increased As concentrations was found to be much higher than previously assumed. Though sorption capacities were determined to be higher than in the Holocene aquifer, probably due to intact Fe (hydr)oxides, long-term continuous As input from overlying clay and peat layers by the proposed seasonal storativity changes has led to increased aqueous As concentrations of 85 μg/L, considerably higher than drinking water standards. Until now, aquifer and especially aquitard and aquiclude hydraulics have not been considered sufficiently when attempting to explain As mobilization in Bangladesh.  相似文献   

On the Characteristics of Wave Propagation in a Magnetized Dusty Plasma with Streaming of Electrons and Ions     

Md. Khurshed Alam  A. Roy Chowdhury  S.N. Paul 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1998,259(1):15-30

Propagation of waves in a magnetized dusty plasma are studied for all the range of values of ion-cyclotron frequency, and having streams of electrons and ions. The dispersion relation is obtained for the waves propagating through the dusty plasma and analysed for different modes of propagation for relative abundance of dust in the plasma. It is observed that abundance of dust, streaming motions of electrons and ions have an important influence on the propagation of waves in the dusty plasma particularly when the phase velocity of the wave is in the low frequency region. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献   

Rate of change of vorticity covariance of MHD turbulence in a rotating system     

N. Kishore  M. S. Alam Sarker 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1990,172(2):279-284

In this paper we are concerned with incompressible MHD turbulence in a rotating system and have derived an equation for the rate of change of vorticity covariance of MHD turbulent flow. The result derived shows that the defining scalars (r,t), (r,t), and (r,t) for the rate of change of vorticity covariance solely depend on the defining scalars of the tensorsW _ij, P_ik,j, F_kj,i, T_ik,j, andR _kj,ialready defined in the text.  相似文献   

Recent Sea Level and Sea Surface Temperature Changes Along the Maldives Coast     

O. P. Singh  Tariq Masood Ali Khan  Fahmida Aktar  Majajul Alam Sarker 《Marine Geodesy》2001,24(4):209-218

Maldives, a South Asian small island nation in the northern part of the Indian Ocean is extremely vulnerable to the impacts of Sea Level Rise (SLR) due to its low altitude from the mean sea level. This artricle attempts to estimate the recent rates of SLR in Maldives during different seasons of the year with the help of existing tidal data recorded in the Maldives coast. Corresponding Sea Surface Temperature (SST) trends, utilizing reliable satellite climatology, have also been obtained. The relationships between the SST and mean sea level have been comprehensively investigated. Results show that recent sea level trends in the Maldives coast are very high. At Male, the capital of the Republic of Maldives, the rising rates of Mean Tidal Level (MTL) are: 8.5, 7.6, and 5.8 mm/year during the postmonsoon (October-December), Premonsoon (March-May) and southwest monsoon (June-September) seasons respectively. At Gan, a station very close to the equator, the increasing rate of MTL is maximum during the period from June to September (which is 6.2 mm/year). These rising trends in MTL along the Maldives coast are certainly alarming for this small developing island nation, which is hardly one meter above the mean sea level. Thus there is a need for careful monitoring of future sea level changes in the Maldives coast. The trends presented are based on the available time-series of MTL for the Maldives coast, which are rather short. These trends need not necessarily reflect the long-term scenario. SST in the Maldives coast has also registered significant increasing trend during the period from June to September. There are large seasonal variations in the SST trends at Gan but SST and MTL trends at Male are consistently increasing during all the seasons and the rising rates are very high. The interannual mode of variation is prominent both in SST as well as MTL. Annual profile of MTL along the Maldives coast is bimodal, having two maxima during April and July. The April Mode is by far the dominant one. The SST appears to be the main factor governing the sea level variations along the Maldives coast. The influence of SST and sea level is more near the equatorial region (i.e., at Gan). There is lag of about two months for the maximum influence of SST on the sea level. The correlation coefficient between the smoothed SST and mean tidal level at Gan with lag of two months is as high as ~ +0.8, which is highly significant. The corresponding correlation coefficients at Male with the lags of one and two months are +0.5 and +0.3, respectively. Thus, the important finding of the present work for the Maldives coast is the dominance of SST factor in sea level variation, especially near the region close to the equator.  相似文献
