Use of coprostanol as a specific allochthonous fecal indicator in surface sediment of the Lake of Neuchâtel   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

André Pittet  Roland Stettler  Bernard Kuebler 《Aquatic Sciences - Research Across Boundaries》1990,52(2):130-143

Coprostanol has been proven to be a good specific allochthonous fecal indicator in sedimentary surface samples of the lake of Neuchâtel (Switzerland). Its concentration is slightly affected in surface sediment by the microbial reduction of cholesterol to cholestanol and coprostanol.  相似文献   

The persistence of pollutants downwind of a point source following termination of the emission     

Roland R. Draxler 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1988,42(1-2):43-53

Experimental studies have shown that tracers injected over short time intervals can often be measured downwind near the ground for a much longer time than would be expected considering the duration of the release and the wind speed. A two-dimensional advection-diffusion model was used in a numerical study to investigate this effect. The results from the numerical study showed that the rate of decrease in concentrations downwind at a receptor after a source has stopped emitting was more sensitive to magnitude of the wind speed and alongwind mixing coefficient than the rate of increase in concentrations when the source first starts emitting. The lower the wind speed or the greater the mixing, the more slowly the concentration decreased as the region upwind of the receptor continued to contribute tracer until it was depleted by advection and vertical diffusion. These atmospheric processes are able, qualitatively, to account for the slowly decreasing air concentrations.  相似文献   

Monitoring of the integrated column of hydrogen fluoride above the Jungfraujoch Station since 1977 — the HF/HCl column ratio     

R. Zander  G. Roland  L. Delbouille  A. Sauval  C. B. Farmer  R. H. Norton 《Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry》1987,5(4):385-394

The amount of hydrogen fluoride (HF) above the International Scientific Station of the Jungfraujoch (Switzerland) has been monitored during the last 8 years. The results deduced spectro-scopically from solar IR absorption measurements near 2.48 m indicate a cumulative trend equivalent to (8.5±1)% increase per year, as well as short-term variability which appears to be strongly correlated with meridional circulation patterns during the February–April months. Based on intensified measurements made over the last three years, it is found that the integrated content of HF undergoes a seasonal change with a minimum occurring in the fall. The HF/HCl ratio derived from simultaneous HF and HCl measurements was found equal to 0.15 during the period 1977–79, and 0.24 for the 1983–85 timespan.  相似文献   

The system Pb-As-S     

George W. Roland 《Mineralium Deposita》1968,3(3):249-260

Silica-tube quenching experiments and gold-tube pressure experiments were used to study phase relations in the PbS-rich portion of the system Pb-As-S. Emphasis was placed on determining the P-T-X stability relations of jordanite, the most Pb-rich of the synthetic Pb-As-S compounds. Jordanite, Pb₉As₄S₁₅, is stable below 549 ± 3° C, at which temperature it melts to galena, liquid, and a sulfur-rich vapor phase. Confining pressures of up to 2 Kb do not measurably change this reaction temperature. Density measurements on synthetic material show that the jordanite cell contains 3 (Pb₉As₄S₁₅); space group P2₁/m requires that the cell content be expressed as either Pb_28–xAs₁₂S_46–x or Pb_26+xAs₁₂S_44+x, with the former much more probable from a structural point of view. In both cases 0.8 < x < 1.4 and the situation is thus quite different from the usual case of defect structures, such as pyrrhotite, Fe_1–xS, which shows considerable range of solid solution. Heating experiments on natural gratonite (Pb₉As₄S₁₅) show that this mineral is most probably a low-temperature dimorph of jordanite, the inversion occurring below 250° C. Experiments have also confirmed the extensive substitution of Sb for As in jordanite, as suspected from chemical analyses of the isostructural mineral geocronite (Pb_28–x(As,Sb)₁₂S_46–x).

Zusammenfassung Durch Abschreckversuche mit Hilfe von Quarz- und Gold-Druckampullen wurden die Phasenbeziehungen im PbS-reichen Teil des Pb-As-S-Systems studiert. Besonderer Wert wurde auf die Feststellung der P-T-X-Stabilitätsverhältnisse des Jordanits, des Pb-reichsten Phase der synthetischen Pb-As-S-Reihe, gelegt. Jordanit (Pb₉As₄S₁₅) ist unterhalb 549 ± 3° C stabil, wo er sich semikongruent zu PbS, einer Schmelze und einer schwefelreichen Dampfphase zersetzt. Drucke bis zu 2 kb ergaben keine meßbaren Änderungen dieser Reaktionstemperatur. Dichtemessungen am synthetischen Material weisen darauf hin, daß die Jordanitzelle 3 × (Pb₉As₄S₁₅) enthält. Die Raumgruppe P2₁/m fordert entweder die Formel Pb_28–xAs₁₂S_46–x oder Pb_26+xAs₁₂S_44+x, wobei die erstere Form strukturell wahrscheinlicher zu sein scheint. In beiden Fällen ist 0.8 < x < 1.4 und weicht vom gebräuchlichen Begriff der Defektstrukturen, wie z.B. beim Pyrrhotin (Fe_1–xS) ab, wie das bemerkenswerte Mischkristallfeld zeigt. Erhitzen von natürlichem Gratonit (Pb₉As₄S₁₅) zeigt, daß dieses Mineral sehr wahrscheinlich eine dimorphe Tieftemperaturphase des Jordanits ist. Die Umwandlung erfolgt unterhalb 250° C. Außerdem wurde eine umfangreichere Substitution von As durch Sb im Jordanit festgestellt, was nach den chemischen Analysen des isostrukturellen Geochronits Pb_28–x(As,Sb)₁₂S_46–x) zu erwarten war.

Tectonic erosion at the front of the Japan Trench convergent margin   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Roland Von Huene  Raymond Culotta 《Tectonophysics》1989,160(1-4):75-90

The imaging of a multichannel seismic record was improved by reprocessing using pre-stack techniques. The reprocessed record shows structures that indicate tectonic erosion and gravity collapse at the front of the Japan Trench margin. Much of the lower slope appears to be underlain by a detached, coherent block of continental crust. The lower slope has failed by mass wasting and the resulting apron of slump debris at the base of the slope has become involved in thrust faulting at the front of the subduction zone. Slumping continues as long as debris is removed from the front of the margin by subduction, and the apron cannot build up sufficiently to stabilize the failing lower slope. Truncated beds at the base of the upper plate indicate subcrustal erosion as well, this probably being the main cause of massive subsidence of the margin. Subsidence was the cause of oversteepening, destabilization and subsequent gravity collapse of the leading edge of the upper plate.  相似文献   

The RbSr age of the Hästefjorden granite and its bearing on the Precambrian evolution of southwestern Sweden     

Eric Welin  Roland Gorbatschev 《Precambrian Research》1976,3(2):187-195

On the basis of a seven-point isochron, the RbSr whole-rock age of the Hästefjorden granite in southwestern Sweden is 1240 ± 30 Ma using a decay constant of 1.39·10^?11 yr^?1. The initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratio is 0.712. This dating sets a lower limit for the beginning of the Dalslandian (Dal sequence) sedimentation and supports suggestions of a chronological diversity of the so-called Gothian Åmål—Kroppefjäll granite complex in western Sweden. It also invalidates correlation of the Åmål—Kroppefjäll complex as a whole with the Småland plutonics of southeastern Sweden. This proves that rocks previously considered as being formed during the “Gothian Cycle” are very different in age.  相似文献
