An integrated study of earthquake seismic tomography in the Golmud-Tanggula Pass (west) and Gonghe-Yushu (east) with profiles traversing the East Kunlun-Qiangtang region of the northern Tibetan Plateau shows that the deep structure of the study region has the following characteristics: (1) from south to north the crustal thickness decreases from 70–75 km to 55–66 km, and the variation range of thickness (10 km) in the western part is smaller than that in the eastern part (20 km); (2) the crust has a sandwich-like structure and the middle crust has a lens-shaped low-velocity layer; (3) above 150 km in depth, the physical states of various terranes are marked by alternation of high-velocity and low-velocity bodies; and (4) the discontinuity of the lithospheric structure reveals the existence of three lithospheric shear faults on the the East Kunlun-Qiangtang region—the South Kunlun-A’nyêmaqên lithospheric shear fault, the Jinsha River lithospheric shear fault and the Xianshui River lithospheric shear fault. It is inferred that the easternward extrusion of northern Tibetan Plateau occurred in the lithospheric range.
The Cenozoic magmatic rocks of shoshonitic series in the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau include potassic alkaline plutonic
rocks, volcanic rocks, lamprophyres and acidic porphyries. Analytical results show that these different lithological rocks
are extremely similar in Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic compositions with the range of 0.705 187– 0.707 254 for87Sr/86Sr, 0.512 305–0.512 630 for143Nd/144Nd, 18.53–18.97 for206Pb/204Pb, 15.51–15.72 for207Pb/204Pb and 38.38–39.24 for208Pb/204Pb. They are isotopically similar to the EMII end-member. This indicates that mantle metasomatism must have taken place in
their source region. The formation of these particular rocks is related to crustal thinning and mantle upwelling in a large-scale
strike-slip and pull-apart fault zone at about 40 Ma in northern and eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau 相似文献
Prediction and control of the permanent settlement of a track caused by traffic loading from trains is crucial to high-speed
railway design and maintenance. In this study, a unified prediction model of accumulative deformation of geomaterials used
in railway construction subjected to cyclic loadings is introduced and calibrated using physical model testing. Based on this
versatile model, a calculation approach to determine the track structure settlement under repeated loadings caused by the
movement of the wheel axle of the train is proposed. Regression analysis on the physical model testing is adopted to determine
the parameters involved in the computational approach. Comparison of model test data and computed results shows that the parameters
obtained from the back-analysis are consistent throughout the various testing conditions, and the proposed calculation approach
is capable of satisfactorily predicting the accumulative settlement of the railway roadbed and subgrade soil for various axle
loads and loading cycles. A case study of a high-speed railway is performed to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed
approach in realistic engineering applications. The computation results from the settlement development of a roadbed and subgrade
soil are presented and discussed. 相似文献
Arthrospira platensis is an economically important cyanobacterium; and it has been used widely in food and pharmaceutical industries. The phycocyanin(PC) from A. platensis is extremely valuable in medicine and molecular biology due to its antioxidation and anti-tumoring activity and applicability as fluorescence protein tag. In present study, two recombinant plasmids, one contained the phycocyanobilin(PCB)-producing genes(hox1 and pcyA) while the other contained the phycobiliprotein gene(cpcB) and the lyase gene(either cpcS/U or cpcT), were constructed and synchronically transferred into E. coli in order to test the the activities of relevant lyases for catalysing PCB addition to CpcB during synthesizing fluorescent PC holo-β-subunit(β-PC) of A. platensis. As was evidenced by the fluorescence emitted at a peak specific for PC, CpcB was successfully synthesized in E. coli, to which co-expressed PCBs attached though at a relatively low efficiency. The results showed that the attachment of PCBs to CpcB were carried out mainly by co-expressed CpcS/U but CpcB also showed some autocatalytic activity. Currently, no CpcT activity was detected in this E. coli expression system. Further studies will be conducted to improve the efficiency of fluorescent PC synthesis in E. coli. 相似文献
