An analysis of wave dissipation at the Hendijan mud coast, the Persian Gulf     

Seyed Abbas Haghshenas  Mohsen Soltanpour 《Ocean Dynamics》2011,61(2-3):217-232

Effects of non-rigid muddy bed on the wave climate at the Hendijan coast along the northwestern part of the Persian Gulf have been examined through field measurements and numerical wave transformation modeling. The field survey included measurements of wave characteristics at an offshore and a nearshore station, and mud sampling to obtain the thickness of the fluid mud layer and its rheological properties. Comparisons of wave spectra at the two stations show energy dissipation along the wave trajectory with higher dissipation in the wave period band around 6?s, because depending on the site a given frequency band tends to be more effective in wave–mud interaction. Dissipation induced by the non-rigid bed is introduced into the REF/DIF wave transformation model through the application of viscoelastic constitutive equations for fluid mud. Numerical outputs of the nearshore wave height, for which the viscoelastic parameters included in the model were obtained independently from oscillatory frequency-sweep tests, are found to be comparable with measured values at the nearshore station. This implies that the model is useful for estimating the design wave conditions in the study area.  相似文献   

A new approach to interpret self-potential anomaly over a two-dimensional inclined sheet using complex gradient analysis     

Mahfooz A. Hafez  Abbas M. Abbas 《Arabian Journal of Geosciences》2011,4(5-6):837-844

A new approach is developed to determine the model parameters of a two-dimensional inclined sheet from self-potential anomaly. In this method, the numerical horizontal self-potential gradient obtained from self-potential anomaly is convolved using Hilbert transform to obtain the vertical self-potential gradient. The complex gradient is the sum of horizontal and vertical gradient anomalies. The horizontal and vertical gradients are plotted in one graph to form the complex gradient graph. By defining few characteristic points and distances along the complex gradient profile, procedures are then formulated using the analytical functions of the complex gradients to obtain the model parameters of sheet-like structures. The validity of the new proposed method has been tested on synthetic data with and without random noise. The obtained parameters are in congruence with the model parameters when using noise-free synthetic data. After adding 10% random error in the synthetic data, the maximum error in model parameters is 11.8%. Moreover, the method have been applied to analyze and interpret the self-potential anomaly measured on a graphite ore body at southern Bavarian woods, Germany to prove its efficiency where an acceptable agreement has been noticed between the obtained results and the other published results.  相似文献   

Mineralogy and palynology of the Mesopotamian plain sediments, Central Iraq     

Salih Muhammad Awadh  Maysoon Omar Ali  Rana Abbas Ali 《Arabian Journal of Geosciences》2011,4(7-8):1261-1271

This work was done on the representative section (230 cm) in Dora site which located in Baghdad in the central of the Mesopotamian Plain. Eleven soil samples were examined mineralogically and palynologically. Grain size analyses showed that silt is the higher fraction (61%), clay is the least (9%), whereas sand forms 30%. Translucent and opaque heavy minerals contributed 57% from the sand fraction, whereas the light minerals formed just 43%. The type of heavy minerals and its maturity defined four provenances—they are granitic, basic igneous and metamorphic rocks—that belong to the high lands of south Turkey and north of Iraq. The fourth provenance is the sedimentary rocks which are located north of Mesopotamian Plain around the Tigris River and their tributaries. Dinoflagellate within thin bed of marine origin clearly indicated the transgression of the Arabian Sea northward through Tigris and Euphrates valleys or high marine waves reached to Baghdad before 10,000 years P.B. approximately. This means that the marine sediments were also an additional source of the Mesopotamian Plain. Three specific climatic features are identified via palynological interpretation; a temperate-wet climate extended from 10,000 to 5,000 years P.B. followed by dry period extended from 5,000 to 3,500 years P.B. and the last climatic feature is characterized by oscillation of wet to dry periods which is dominant since 3,500 till now.  相似文献   

Evaluation of a nonlinear seismic geotechnical site response analysis method subjected to earthquake vibrations (case study: Kerman Province, Iran)     

Abbas Abbaszadeh Shahri  Bijan Esfandiyari  Hosein Hamzeloo 《Arabian Journal of Geosciences》2011,4(7-8):1103-1116

Equivalent static load and dynamic analyses methods are usually used for designing structures under and subjected to earthquake excitations. Estimation of site response from an earthquake is fundamental step to anticipate the possible damages and then to try to mitigate them. In this paper, the effect of nonlinearity on site response analyses summarized and evaluating ground surface response taking into account the local soil and subsurface soils properties for the proposed bridge over the river at Sirdjan Boulevard road subjected to earthquake vibration and provokes with assumption of rigid (viscoelastic) and elastic half space bedrock and quantify the site effect on the surface over a number of geotechnical areas has been notified. First, by field investigation, the required data were collected and by primary processing the acceptable data were selected. Then, in nonlinear analysis, for elastic and rigid half space bedrock, standard hyperbolic model was selected and executed, and then the results were compared to each other. The critical point of this work was to develop and use a computer code by the authors, named the “Abbas Converter”, with several advantages, such as work and quick installation, operating as a connecter function between the used softwares and generating the input data corresponding to defined format for them. Its output results can easily be exported to the other used softwares in this study. This code can make and render this study more easily than the previous softwares have done, and take over the encountered problem. This study clearly showed the applicability of the “Abbas Converter” for evaluation of site response with bedrock-type assumption on soil behavior under the earthquake excitations. The proposed scheme is used to analyze the ground motion data from the Bam earthquake in Kerman Province, Iran (2003, M_w 6.5).  相似文献   

Effect of Fe2+ amendment on photodegradation kinetics of imidacloprid in moist soil     

Nazia Rafique  Saadia R. Tariq  Mateen Abbas 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2014,71(6):2869-2874

The present study deals with the effect of Fe²⁺ on degradation kinetics of imidacloprid in moist soil under UV system. The moist soil samples were spiked with imidacloprid and irradiated in specially designed UV-photoreactor. The analysis of imidacloprid was carried out by using HPLC–DAD system. UV irradiation caused about ten fold increase in photodegradation rate of the pesticide. Amendment of soil with Fe²⁺ at concentrations of 30 mg/kg led to a further increase in the rate of photodegradation, i.e., a 98 % degradation of imidacloprid was observed in the presence of iron after 32 days of irradiation. Moreover, the half-life of imidacloprid in Fe²⁺ -amended soil was observed to be reduced to 7 days that in the absence of Fe²⁺ was recorded to be 21 days. Iron was also observed to affect the half-life of imidacloprid in dark. When compared with unsterilized Fe²⁺-amended batch treatments, the t _1/2 in sterilized Fe²⁺-amended batch treatments increased from 58 to 96 days. Imidacloprid-urea was detected by HPLC as the only stable photodegradation byproduct of imidacloprid in the soil.  相似文献   

United Arab Emirates limestones: impact of petrography on thermal behavior     

Sulaiman Alaabed  Abdel Monem Soltan  Osman Abdelghany  Bahaa Eldin Mahmoud Amin  Mohamed El Tokhi  Abbas Khaleel  Abdullah Musalim 《Mineralogy and Petrology》2014,108(6):837-852

The thermal behavior of selected limestones from representative localities of the United Arab Emirates is investigated for their suitability for soft-burnt lime production. The limestone samples were collected from the Ghalilah, Musandam, Shauiba, Muthaymimah, Dammam and Asmari formations. The samples were characterized for petrography, mineral and chemical composition, together with physico-mechanical characteristics. Investigative methods included transmitted light microscopy (TLM), cathodoluminescence (CLM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), as well as X-ray micro-tomography (μ-CT), XRD, XRF and Archimedes method. The limestone samples were fired in an electrical muffle furnace for 0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2 hours at 800, 900, 1,000 and 1,100 °C. After firing the lime grains were tested to determine their hydration rate and microfabric. The Ghalilah and Musandam limes show the lowest and highest maximum hydration rates, respectively, due mainly to the impure nature of the former, and the smaller lime crystallites and dominance of post-calcination micro-cracks of the latter. The Dammam and Asmari limes preserve a “ghost” microfabric of the original limestone. Higher allochem contents impose lower activation energy requirements for calcination, which implies earlier calcination of the allochems. The Musandam, Shauiba and Muthaymimah limestones may be useful for the production of reactive soft-burnt lime under the applied firing conditions, however, the Dammam and Asmari limestones need more advanced calcination conditions than the applied ones. The Ghalilah limestone was found to be unsuitable for the production of lime.  相似文献

Residual impact of biochar on cadmium uptake by rice (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Oryza sativa</Emphasis> L.) grown in Cd-contaminated soil     

Muhammad Rizwan  Shafaqat Ali  Tahir Abbas  Muhammad Zia ur Rehman  Mohammad I. Al-Wabel 《Arabian Journal of Geosciences》2018,11(20):630

Cadmium (Cd) is the family member of toxic heavy metals, and its accumulation in food crops has become a global environmental constraint. Biochar potentially minimizes the metal contents in plants, but limited work has been reported on its residual effect on subsequent crops. The residual effect of various biochar levels (0, 1.5, 3.0, and 5.0% w/w) on Cd accumulation in rice has been investigated in this study. Biochar treatments enhanced the rice growth, photosynthesis, and antioxidant enzymes, whereas diminished the Cd contents and oxidative stress in rice. Cadmium concentration in shoots decreased by 24.4, 36.6, and 57.5% in 1.5, 3.0, and 5.0% biochar treatments over the control. Biochar supply enhanced the soil pH and electrical conductivity, whereas diminished the soil bioavailable Cd. Overall, the results depicted a significant residual impact of rice straw biochar on rice growth attributes and Cd uptake. However, studies are still needed to explore the long-term sustainability of biochars prepared from different feedstocks on bioavailability of toxic metals in soils and uptake by food crops under field conditions.  相似文献
