Some aspects of entropic gravity in the presence of a noncommutative Schwarzschild-deSitter black hole     

S. Hamid Mehdipour 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2013,345(2):339-344

We study some features of entropic force approach in the presence of a noncommutative Schwarzschild-deSitter black hole. In this setup, there exists a similarity between the small and large scales. There are two finite cut-off in very short and long distances wherein the force and energy graph stop abruptly at those scales. We find that the existence of a deSitter core around the origin, induced by noncommutativity, in addition to a standard deSitter background at large scale may lead to a violation of the equivalence principle. Finally in order to directly observe the finite cut-off at short-scale gravity, caused by noncommutativity quantum fluctuations, we derive an effective gravitational constant.  相似文献   

Effect of sulphates and curing period on stress–strain curves and failure modes of soil–lime–natural pozzolana mixtures

Abstract

An experimental investigation was undertaken in order to assess the effect of sodium (Na₂SO₄) and calcium (CaSO₄·2H₂O) sulphates and curing period on stress–strain curves and failure modes of grey (GS) and red (RS) clayey soils stabilised by lime (L), natural pozzolana (NP) and their combinations (L–NP). Several soil–L–NP mixtures were studied to be used as subgrade soils for road pavements. Stress–strain curves were obtained from unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test made on several soil–L–NP specimens after curing for 7 and 120 days. Tests results showed that the use of L or L–NP without sulphates produced a significant increase in peaks stress of both clayey soils and then modified their stress–strain curves from nonlinear to linear behaviour almost up to 70% of peak stress after a longer curing period. However, the presence of 2% Na₂SO₄ or any CaSO₄·2H₂O content provided beneficial effects on peaks stress and stress–strain curves of both stabilised clayey soils and then improved their linearity almost up to 95% of peak stress after curing for 120 days. In contrast, the presence of 6% Na₂SO₄ caused undesirable effects. In addition, both sulphates greatly affected the failure modes of soil–L–NP specimens, particularly at a later stage.  相似文献   

Ion acoustic shock waves in weakly relativistic and dissipative plasmas with nonthermal electrons and thermal positrons     

Hamid Reza Pakzad  Kurosh Javidan 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2011,331(1):175-180

Propagation of ion acoustic waves in plasmas containing electrons, positrons and high relativistic ions is investigated. It is shown that the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation describes the nonlinear waves in this media. The amplitude and energy of the KdV solitary waves are derived and the effects of relativistic ions on these quantities are discussed.  相似文献   

Ion acoustic solitons of KdV and modified KdV equations in weakly relativistic plasma containing nonthermal electron,positron and warm ion     

Hamid Reza Pakzad 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2011,332(2):269-277

In this paper, the ion-acoustic solitons in a weakly relativistic electron-positron-ion plasma have been investigated. Relativistic ions, Maxwell-Boltzmann distributed positrons and nonthermal electrons are considered in collisionless warm plasma. Using a reductive perturbation theory, a Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is derived, and the relativistic effect on the solitons is studied. It is found that the amplitude of solitary waves of the KdV equation diverges at the critical values of plasma parameters. Finally, in this situation, the solitons of a modified KdV (mKdV) equation with finite amplitude is derived.  相似文献   

Effect of <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-nonextensive distribution of electrons on electron acoustic solitons     

Hamid Reza Pakzad 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2011,333(1):247-255

Ion acoustic shock waves (IASWs) are studied in a plasma consisting of electrons, positrons and ions. Boltzmann distributed positrons and superthermal electrons are considered in the plasma. The dissipation is taken into account the kinematic viscosity among the plasma constituents. The Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers (KdV–Burgers) equation is derived by reductive perturbation method. Shock waves are solutions of KdV–Burgers equation. It is observed that an increasing positron concentration decreases the amplitude of the waves. Furthermore, in the existence of the kinematic viscosity among the plasma, the shock wave structure appears. The effects of ion kinematic viscosity (η ₀) and the superthermal parameter (k) on the ion acoustic waves are found.  相似文献   

The subsistence crisis and migration in the Sahelian Zone of the Sudan —     

Dr.  Assoc. Prof. Abdel Hamid M. A. Bakhit 《GeoJournal》1991,25(1):39-45

Burush is a small village in the N Sahelian Zone of the Sudan, whose population are basically sedentary agriculturists. The recurring drought conditions of the last two decades have significantly influenced the local resource base, so that the subsistence of the majority of the households was highly challenged. Nevertheless, the people are still surviving and resisting. The explanation of this resistence can be sought in the endogenous coping mechanisms adopted by the people. One of these mechanisms is migration, especially the seasonal labour migration of the heads and grown-up members of households, which used, even in good years, to be highly integrated in the strategies of survival of the majority of households. However under the recurring crop failures and the growing competition in the seasonal labour opportunities, this seasonal migration is changing gradually into stays of longer duration in the traditional destinations of seasonal labour. On the other hand, the male members of households are actively involved in migration of long duration, especially into the urban centres. Yet, the constributions of these migrant members to the subsistence of their households are limited, because of the rising costs of living in uurban centres as compared with the incomes. The rehabilitation of Burush lies obviously in the development of long-term strategies which aim at strengthening the endogenous resilience mechanisms.  相似文献   

Hydraulic parameters of a multilayered aquifer system in Kuwait City     

Shabbir A. S. Sayed  Hamid S. Saeedy  Ferenc Sz  kely 《Journal of Hydrology》1992,130(1-4):49-70

The Kuwait Group consists mainly of clastic sediments overlying unconformably the Dammam Formation of Tertiary age. The Kuwait Group is generally divided into three main hydrostratigraphic units: the upper and lower aquifers separated by an aquitard. The upper aquifer is further divided into the water table aquifer, an aquitard and a semiconfined aquifer. This semiconfined unit was pumped and the drawdowns were observed in piezometers screened in various subunits of the Kuwait Group. Some pumping tests of short duration were carried out in the top water table aquifer as well. These tests showed that the subunits of the Kuwait Group are hydraulically interconnected to a varying degree.

The pumping test data were analysed using conventional analytical solutions. The semiconfined pumping test was also simulated by a quasi-three-dimensional model using a leaky multiaquifer modelling technique. The initial hydraulic parameters were improved manually in the model till best fit drawdowns were obtained.

The final parameters obtained by simulation of the pumping tests were used in designing a pilot drainage system for the control of a rising groundwater table in parts of Kuwait City.  相似文献   

Environmental characterization of a karst polje: an example from Izeh polje,southwest Iran     

Hamid Reza Nassery  Farshad Alijani  Leila Mirzaei 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2009,59(1):99-108

Groundwater contamination is a well-known phenomenon, which occurs on local and regional scales in Izeh polje. The aims of this paper are investigation of the impact of human activities on the polje ecosystem, determination of the vulnerability of ground water, and to solve environmental problems. Nitrate contamination of groundwater in the Izeh polje was predicted using a solute transport model. The nitrate concentration in groundwater in most parts of Izeh polje is greater than maximum concentration permissible for drinking water, i.e., 45 mg/l. The main source of nitrate in the eastern underground areas of Izeh city is the domestic sewage. Bacterial pollution of shallow ground water in Izeh polje is severe and widespread. About 45% of ground water samples in May and September 2001 have positive MPN coliforms. Infiltration of polluted surface waters and decrease of water table depth, have lead to bacterial pollution of 80% of ground water samples in January 2002. The northeast, south and southwest areas of Izeh polje have higher pollution potential rather than its middle parts. The aquifer vulnerability indices in the middle, eastern, and northern parts of the polje are moderately lower as a result of decreased sediment size of the aquifer. The pollution in the polje depends on the amount and presence of pollutants. If they do exist, the possibility of pollution is considerable due to the coarseness of materials and shallow depth of groundwater table.  相似文献   

胡杨和灰杨的叶绿素荧光参数及茎水势对塔克拉玛干沙漠腹地生境的响应     

韩炜  海米提·依米提  李利  李生宇  郑婷婷 《中国沙漠》2011,31(6):1472-1478

通过测定胡杨（Populus euphratica）、灰杨（Populus pruinosa）叶绿素荧光参数和茎水势,研究了二者成龄叶片样本的电子传递和光能的吸收、分配和耗散对塔克拉玛干沙漠腹地生境的适应特征。结果表明,无论清晨弱光下还是正午强光下,胡杨茎水势均比灰杨低,胡杨具有更强的吸水能力;在光合有效辐射不十分高的晴天内,胡杨的光系统Ⅱ的电子传递速率ETR对时间的积分面积大于灰杨,表明胡杨的日能量积累量大于灰杨;胡杨的非光化学淬灭系数NPQ呈单峰状,灰杨呈双峰态,正午的光合有效辐射对灰杨造成了一定程度的光抑制;午后14时（光合有效辐射最大,PAR=1216 μmo·m-2·s-1）,胡杨Y(NO)∶Y(NPQ)∶Y(Ⅱ)=18%∶50%∶32%,主动耗散能量的比例占到50%,表现了极强的抗性,而灰杨3者比例为Y(NO)∶Y(NPQ)∶Y(Ⅱ)=16%∶19%∶65%,通过提高主动散热（NPQ机制）比例,胡杨较灰杨具有更强的强光适应能力。胡杨与灰杨皆可通过提高激发能热耗散比例适应较高光合有效辐射,但胡杨较灰杨具有更强的调节能力和抗性。  相似文献   

Stochastic modeling of Iranian earthquakes and estimation of ground motion for future earthquakes in Greater Tehran     

Hamid Zafarani  Assadollah NoorzadAnooshirvan Ansari  Khosro Bargi 《Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering》2009

Strong-motion data from eight significant well-documented earthquakes in Iran have been simulated using a stochastic modeling technique for finite faults proposed by Beresnev and Atkinson [Bull Seismol Soc Am 87 (1997) 67–84; Seism Res Lett 69 (1998) 27–32]. The database consists of 61 three-component records from eight earthquakes of magnitude ranging from M 6.3 to M 7.4, recorded at hypocentral distances up to 200 km. The model predictions are in good agreement with available Iranian strong-motion data as evidenced by near-zero average of differences between logarithms of the observed and predicted values for all frequencies. The strength factor, sfact, a quantity that controls the high-frequency radiation from the source is determined, on an event-by-event basis, by fitting simulated to observed response spectra.  相似文献
