Nonlinear behaviour of scoria soil sediments evaluated from borehole records in eastern Shizuoka prefecture,Japan

We evaluate the non-linear behaviour of soil sediments, analysing five weak and four strong motions observed at depths of 1 m and 28 m, in eastern Shizuoka prefecture, Japan. We identify S-wave velocities and frequency-dependent damping factors by minimizing the residual between observed and theoretical spectral ratios, based on a linear one-dimensional model. We find that S-wave velocities identified from strong motions, whose peak ground acceleration are 440, 210, 176, and 140 cm/s², are significantly smaller than those identified from weak motions. The shear modulus reduction ratios estimated from identified S-wave velocities become clear above an effective shear strain of 10^-4 and agree with laboratory test results below an effective shear strain of 8×10^-4. The differences of damping factors between weak and strong motions are not clear below this effective shear strain, as the laboratory test suggested. The equivalent linear one-dimensional model, with frequency-dependent damping factors, is confirmed to be valid to simulate strong motions at least an effective shear strain of less than 4×10^-4. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Occurrence of Two Distinct Types of Tissue Inhibitors of Metallo-proteinases-2 in Fugu rubripes     

Yoshihiro Yokoyama Hiroshi Tsukamoto Tohru Suzuki Shohshi Mizuta Reiji Yoshinaka 《中国海洋大学学报(英文版)》2005,4(3):214-218

In this study, genes of two distinct tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases-2 （TIMP-2） from Japanese puffer fish Fugu rubripes, Fugu TIMP-2a and TIMP-2b, were cloned. The open reading frames of Fugu TIMP-2a and TIMP-2b cDNAs are composed of 660 and 657 nucleotides and 220 and 219 amino acids, respectively. Both Fugu TIMP-2s contain 12 cysteine residues, which might form six disulfide bonds as in other animals＇ TIMP-2s. Reverse-transcribed polymerase chain reaction analysis showed the mRNAs of Fugu TIMP-2a and TIMP-2b to be expressed in some tissues examined with different expression patterns. These findings suggest that the two distinct Fugu TIMP-2s might perform different functions in Fugu tissues.  相似文献   

用X射线分析显微镜对海藻元素的研究Ⅱ.裙带菜孢子叶的元素定位     

严小军  陈予敏  范晓  忠田吉弘  永田忠博 《海洋科学集刊》2000,(42):182-188

X射线分析显微镜是一种快速的非破坏分析方法,可以用来对海藻中特定的元素在组织水平进行定位。本实验采用X射线分析显微镜对1997年2月在日本佐贺县唐津市海岸采集的养殖裙带菜(Undaria pinnatifida Suringar)的孢子叶进行了硫、钾、钙、碘的组织定位研究,对孢子叶的整体进行X射线扫描及特征元素次级荧光的图像分析,并选取孢子叶的边缘部、中部及中心各一点进行定点的X射线荧光光谱测定。Ⅹ射线荧光光谱的结果表明,钾是裙带菜孢子叶的最显著元素,具有最大的X射线荧光强度。定位分析表明,钾在孢子叶的中心部位分布较高,钙与碘则在边缘部分布较高,硫多位于孢子叶的中间部分,在中心部位及边缘部的分布均较低。除了钾、钙、硫以外,其他元素如铁、溴、锌也能够在X射线荧光光谱中给出谱峰。作者得到的X射线特征元素荧光图像首次报道了裙带菜孢子叶中钾、钙、硫等元素在组织水平的定位。应用RGB图像彩色合成技术获得的硫、钙、钾三元素的彩色合成图像也与定点分析结果相一致。  相似文献   

祁连山七一冰川物质平衡的最新观测结果   总被引：36，自引：16，他引：20

祁连山七一冰川观测结果表明, 2001/2002年度和 2002/2003 年度冰川物质平衡分别为-810mm和-316 mm水当量, 冰面出现显著的减薄状态. 和过去的观测结果相比较, 20 世纪 70 年代为较大的正平衡, 年平均为360 mm水当量; 80年代年平均为4 mm水当量, 基本接近零平衡状态. 到近两年亏损强烈, 为所有观测资料中负平衡值最大的年份, 零平衡线也达到最高位置. 物质平衡出现较大的负值和零平衡线位置升高的状况, 强烈反映了祁连山冰川对气候变暖过程的响应. 如果气候变暖趋势继续, 冰川物质平衡负值将增大、冰面减薄和雪线的升高, 冰川将继续呈现萎缩状态.  相似文献   

Brightening phenomena in prominences at the center of the Hα line     

Ichiro Kawaguchi  Yoshihiro Nakai  Yasuhiro Funakoshi  Kap-Sung Kim 《Solar physics》1984,91(1):87-91

Two examples of sudden brightenings in local regions of active prominences as observed at the center of the H line are described. The origin of the brightenings is discussed in terms of Doppler shifts along the line of sight, Doppler brightenings and intrinsic changes of physical conditions. It is shown that the two examples presented here have common characteristics and the origin may probably be attributed to intrinsic changes of physical conditions.Contributions from the Kwasan and Hida Observatories, University of Kyoto, No. 257.  相似文献

Observations of the total lunar eclipse on March 24, 1978, at 3.4-mm wavelength     

Yasuo Fukui  Shigeru Hata  Takeshi Miyaji  Yoshihiro Chikada 《Icarus》1979,40(2):309-314

Observations of the total lunar eclipse were made at 3.4-mm wavelength (87.4 GHz) on March 24, 1978. Eclipsr cooling curves with the best S/N ratio among those published thus far were obtained for the three points (the mountain area near the crater of Hipparuchus, Sinus Medii, and Copernicus). Each of the curves can be decomposed into the three parts which apparently correspond to ingress, totality, and egress. The derived cooling rate and heating rate differ significantly at the three points.  相似文献   

Role of Iron(III) and Aluminum Hydroxides in Concentration/reduction of Au(III) Complexes     

Akiko UCHIDA  Takushi YOKOYAMA  Yoshinobu MOTOMURA  Akane MIYAZAKI  Yoshihiro OKAUE  Koichiro WATANABE  Eiji IZAWA 《Resource Geology》2002,52(3):223-230

Abstract: The adsorption of gold on iron(III) and aluminum hydroxides from solutions containing Au(III) complexes has been studied as a function of pH and chloride concentration at 30C. Iron(III) hydroxide was more effective in adsorbing gold from solution than aluminum hydroxide. However, both hydroxides controlled the behavior of Au(III) complex with very similar manner. The most effective gold adsorption occurred in aqueous solution with near neutral pH and low Cl concentration. In this solution condition, Au(III) complexes were mainly dissolved as AuCl₂(OH)₂^- and AuCl(OH)₃^-, and the surface charge for both hydroxides was positive. In addition, the adsorbed Au(III) complexes were spontaneously reduced to elemental gold in spite of the absence of a specific reducing agent.
The results of this study suggest that adsorption and spontaneous reduction of gold complexes on the surface of hydrous metal oxides with positive charge play an important role in gold precipitation in subsurface environment.  相似文献   

Gravitational wave background from neutrino-driven gamma-ray bursts     

Takashi Hiramatsu  Kei Kotake  Hideaki Kudoh  Atsushi Taruya 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2005,364(3):1063-1068

We study cosmic microwave background (CMB) secondary anisotropies produced by inhomogeneous reionization by means of cosmological simulations coupled with the radiative transfer code crash . The reionization history is consistent with the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe Thomson optical depth determination. We find that the signal arising from this process dominates over the primary CMB component for   l ≳ 4000  and reaches a maximum amplitude of   l ( l + 1) C_l /2π≃ 1.6 × 10⁻¹³  on arcmin scales (i.e. l as large as several thousands). We then cross-correlate secondary CMB anisotropy maps with neutral hydrogen 21-cm line emission fluctuations obtained from the same simulations. The two signals are highly anticorrelated on angular scales corresponding to the typical size of H  ii regions (including overlapping) at the 21-cm map redshift. We show how the CMB/21-cm cross-correlation can be used: (i) to study the nature of the reionization sources; (ii) to reconstruct the cosmic reionization history; (iii) to infer the mean cosmic ionization level at any redshift. We discuss the feasibility of the proposed experiment with forthcoming facilities.  相似文献
