Fluorescence efficiencies of electrons in molecular nitrogen and oxygen gases     

S.P. Khare  A. Kumar 《Planetary and Space Science》1977,25(6):555-562

Fluorescence efficiencies of electrons in a large number of bands of the N₂ First Positive and O₂⁺ First Negative groups lying in the 4900–10,500 Å wavelength range have been investigated theoretically. The variation of transition moment with internuclear distance is taken into consideration. For the First Positive group of N₂ the calculations are carried out at very low pressure as well as at 600 Torr. In general the present values are higher than the experimental values but in most of the cases fair agreement has been obtained. For the O₂⁺ First Negative group no direct experimental data is available. However, the present ratio of the total efficiency in the O₂⁺ First Negative group to the N₂⁺ First Negative group is found to be in good agreement with the experimental intensity ratio.  相似文献   

Oxygen isotope records of Globigerina bulloides across a north-south transect in the south-western Indian Ocean     

Neloy Khare  Subodh Kumar Chaturvedi  Rajeev Saraswat 《Ocean Science Journal》2009,44(2):117-123

Along a north-south transect (9.69°N to 55.01°S) in the southwestern Indian Ocean during the Indian Pilot Expedition to Southern Ocean (PESO), the oxygen isotopic analysis of planktic foraminifera (Globigerina bulloides) from 23 surface sediment samples was carried out to assess the relationship between isotopic composition of G. bulloides and the prevailing physical (seawater temperature and salinity) conditions of the ambient seawater. An increasing trend in the δ¹⁸O value is noticed towards higher latitude. Apparently such an increase in δ¹⁸O values is inversely related to the temperature changes along the transect. However, slight mismatch is observed at a few stations due to calcification out of optimum conditions or due to the salinity changes. The preliminary results of the present study, if extended to the subsurface sediments coupled with other parameters, may contribute to the reconstruction of the paleohydrography of the region, especially the position of various seawater fronts during the geologic past albeit with areal limitation.  相似文献   

Differential evolution of Lyman alpha lines     

M. Acharya  Pushpa Khare 《Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy》1993,14(2):97-102

We have analysed a large, homogeneous sample of Lyman alpha lines, observed at intermediate resolution, using the maximum likelihood method. The analysis shows that the evolutionary index γ, is a function of rest equivalent width with stronger lines evolving faster. The mean equivalent width increases with redshift. This behaviour is similar to that exhibited by the heavy element absorption lines in the quasar spectra.  相似文献

Fluorescence efficiencies of electrons in second positive bands of N₂ and first negative bands of N_2⁺     

S.P. Khare  A. Kumar 《Planetary and Space Science》1973,21(8):1381-1387

Fluorescence efficiencies of electrons in a large number of bands of N₂ second positive and N_2⁺ first negative groups lying in the 3000–5200 Å region are calculated. At very low pressure where quenching is negligible the present values are within 15 per cent of the experimental data of Hartmann (1968). The efficiencies are found to be independent of the impact energies greater than 200 eV which is in accordance with other theoretical and experimental results. The ratio of the total efficiencies in N₂ second positive and N_2⁺ first negative groups is 1·31 and is about 20 per cent lower than the experimental values. The efficiencies at a higher pressure equal to 600 torr are compared with the experimental data of Davidson and O'Neil (1964a).  相似文献   

‘Lineaments’ the Potential Groundwater Zones in Hard Rock Area: A Case Study of Basaltic Terrain of WGKKC-2 Watershed from Kalmeswar Tehsil of Nagpur District,Central India     

Abhay M. Varade  Y. D. Khare  Poonam Yadav  A. P. Doad  Sandipan Das  Madhura Kanetkar  R. B. Golekar 《Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing》2018,46(4):539-549

Hard rock aquifer system, as it lacks in primary porosity, is complex because of heterogeneity, and hence its performance solely depends on secondary factors such as weathering, fractures, joints and lineaments, etc. As a result, there is no uniformity in behavior of such aquifer system which varies with the intensity of factors causing secondary porosity. In view of this aquifer system of hard rock, particularly multilayered aquifer system such as basalt, the targeting of deeper aquifer system becomes uncertain. Under this situation, mapping of lineament assumes great importance particularly for targeting the deeper aquifer. In view of this, a small watershed WGKKC-2 falling in Nagpur District of Central India has been studied in detail to understand the significance of lineaments on governing deeper aquifer system. The study has been carried out by deploying remote sensing technique for delineation of hydro geomorphology and lineaments vis-à-vis performance of bore wells. The results are encouraging which mainly emphasize the role of lineament mapping in hard rock aquifer system for identification of groundwater potential zones.  相似文献   

Evaluation of fertility indicators associated with arsenic-contaminated paddy fields soil   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Emerging environmental issues related to heavy metal contamination in rice draw great concern about the soil quality of paddy farming lands irrigated with groundwater. Investigating the functioning of soil microorganisms exposed to heavy metal contamination is imperative for agricultural soil manipulations. The current study accentuates the influence of heavy metals on microbial activity and community composition in arable soil of West Bengal State of India. The result revealed that the fertility indicators (activity of all soil enzymes) and growth-limiting factors (soil N and P) were negatively correlated with the heavy metal stress except the soil total organic content which demonstrated significant positive correlation with the heavy metals. In case of functional diversity of soil, all the considered diversity indices exhibited no specific pattern along with the availability of heavy metals. Further, despite the heavy metal contamination, we observed a very complex and indifferent pattern of bacterial community composition along the heavy metal contamination sites. Overall, we found that γ-Proteobacteria had been the most abundant bacterial community followed by Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, β-Proteobacteria and α-Proteobacteria. Commemorating all the results, we can infer that arsenic and other heavy metal contamination is deteriorating the soil quality and hence warrants immediate attention of concerned soil scientist and agronomists.  相似文献

Optical constants of Titan tholins at mid-infrared wavelengths (2.5–25 μm) and the possible chemical nature of Titan’s haze particles     

Hiroshi Imanaka  Dale P. Cruikshank  Bishun N. Khare  Christopher P. McKay 《Icarus》2012,218(1):247-261

Complex organic materials may exist as haze layers in the atmosphere of Titan and as dark coloring agents on icy satellite surfaces. Laboratory measurements of optical constants of plausible complex organic materials are necessary for quantitative evaluation from remote sensing observations, and to document the existence of complex organic materials in the extraterrestrial environments. The recent Cassini VIMS and CIRS observations provide new constraints on Titan’s haze properties in the mid-infrared wavelength region. Here, we present the optical constants (2.5–25 μm) of Titan tholins generated with cold plasma irradiation of a N₂/CH₄ (90/10) gas mixture at pressures of 0.26 mbar, 1.6 mbar, and 23 mbar. Our new optical constants of three types of Titan tholins suggest that no single Titan tholin in this study fulfills all the observational constraints of the Titan haze material. The discrepancy remains a challenge for future modeling and laboratory efforts that aim toward a better understanding of Titan’s haze material.  相似文献   

Dark energy models with anisotropic fluid in Bianchi Type-VI 0 space-time with time dependent deceleration parameter

We present two dark energy (DE) models with an anisotropic fluid in Bianchi type-VI ₀ space-time by considering time dependent deceleration parameter (DP). The equation of state (EoS) for dark energy ω is found to be time dependent and its existing range for derived models is in good agreement with the recent observations. Under the suitable condition, the anisotropic models approach to isotropic scenario. We also find that during the evolution of the universe, the EoS parameter for DE changes from ω>−1 to ω=−1 in first model whereas from ω>−1 to ω<−1 in second model which is consistent with recent observations. The cosmological constant Λ is found to be a positive decreasing function of time and it approaches a small positive value at late time (i.e. the present epoch) which is corroborated by results from recent type Ia supernovae observations. The cosmic jerk parameter in our derived models is also found to be in good agreement with the recent data of astrophysical observations. The physical and geometric aspects of both the models are also discussed in detail.  相似文献
