Vietnamese activity in the Adelaide real estate market     

Kevin R. Harris 《The Australian geographer》1995,26(2):189-199

Significant real estate activity by Vietnamese households in Adelaide did not occur until 1979, and since then the groups buying activity has been heavily concentrated in the northwest region of the metropolitan area. Therefore, the median housing price paid by Vietnamese buyers has not kept pace with the median price paid by all buyers. Concentration also causes Vietnamese buyers to be disproportionately active in the middle‐to‐lower end of the market, within which there has been a strong preference for rural properties and for houses rather than home units and maisonettes. Amongst Vietnamese buyers who subsequently sell their properties, the majority have not re‐entered the market and their capital gain from ownership has been marginal.  相似文献   

Frictional characteristics of Teflon–steel interfaces under dynamic conditions     

M. C. Constantinou  John Caccese  Harry G. Harris 《地震工程与结构动力学》1987,15(6):751-759

An experimental study to assess the frictional characteristics of Teflon–steel interfaces under dynamic conditions is described. Tests were conducted on unfilled Teflon sliding on stainless steel polished to a surface roughness of less than 0.05 μm CLA. The bearing pressure was 1.38, 3.45 and 6.9 N/mm², the frequency of sliding was 0.5 and 1 Hz and the acceleration of excitation, imposed by a small shaking table, was between 0.05 and 0.5g. It was found that friction drops with decreases in the acceleration of excitation and drops with increases in the bearing pressure. It was observed that Teflon–steel interfaces have the tendency to slide continuously regardless of the value of acceleration. This is very important in base isolation applications because it prevents high frequency input to the structure.  相似文献   

Hydrogen and oxygen isotope geochemistry of Ascension Island lavas and granites: variation with crystal fractionation and interaction with sea water     

Simon M. F. Sheppard  Chris Harris 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1985,91(1):74-81

Lavas and pyroclastics on Ascension Island contain plutonic blocks that include fluid-inclusion-bearing peralkaline-granite. ¹⁸O/¹⁶O ratios, F and Cl have been analysed on whole rocks and/or minerals for lavas and granites, and D/H ratios and H₂O⁺ for comenditic obsidians and granites. Whole rock ¹⁸O/¹⁶O ratios of fresh alkali-basalt, hawaiite, trachyandesite, trachyte and comendite range from 6.0 to 6.9 with ¹⁸O tending to increase with increase in SiO₂. The ¹⁸O values of the granites are from 0.0 to 0.3 depleted in ¹⁸O relative to the comendites. Comenditic obsidians have D= –80±4 and H₂O⁺ 0.3 wt.% while amphiboles from the granites have D= –56±2 The O-isotope trend of the lavas is consistent with a crystal fractionation model. Fresh igneous rocks with ¹⁸O values greater than 7 involve processes in addition to crystal fractionation of a basaltic magma. The D/H ratios and Cl contents ( 3,000 ppm) of the H₂O-poor comenditic obsidians represent undegassed primary magmatic values. The H-isotope compositions and low H₂O and Cl (167 ppm) contents of the granites are consistent with the major degassing (loss of >90% of initial H₂O) of an H₂Osaturated magma derived from the interaction of sea (or possibly meteoric) water with the H₂O-undersaturated comenditic melt. It is proposed that, associated with caldera subsidence and stoping, water was sucked in around the residual magma before the system had time to be sealed up. The H₂O-undersaturated magma consumed this H₂O with possibly some minor partial dehydration and dewatering of the hydrated volcanic roof blocks, at a pressure of about 1.5 kb. The granites are the plutonic equivalents of rhyolitic pyroclastics and not directly of the comendites. Granites from oceanic islands may, in general, be a result of generating an H₂O-saturated acid melt by such direct or indirect crustal water-magma interaction processes.Contribution No. 603 Centre de Recherches Pétrographiques et Géochimiques  相似文献   

Development of conjugate shear bands during bulk simple shearing     

L.B Harris  P.R Cobbold 《Journal of Structural Geology》1985,7(1):37-44

In rocks possessing a strong planar fabric, shear bands of constant shear sense and oriented at an oblique angle to the foliation are considered by many authors to be characteristic of a non-coaxial bulk deformation history, whereas conjugate shear bands are considered to indicate coaxial shortening. However, in two areas where bulk deformation history appears to be non-coaxial (Cap Corse, Corsica and Ile de Groix, Brittany), conjugate shear bands are observed. In order to investigate this problem, experiments were performed by bulk simple shearing using Plasticine as a rock analogue. When slip between layers of the model is permitted, shear bands of normal-fault geometry form with both the same and opposite shear sense as the bulk simple shearing at approximately the same angle with the layering (40°) irrespective of layer orientation in the undeformed state (for initial orientations of 50, 30 and 15°). Shear bands are initially formed within individual layers and may propagate across layer interfaces when further movement along these is inhibited. The existence of conjugate shear bands in Corsica and Ile de Groix is therefore not incompatible with a model of bulk simple shearing for these two regions. In field studies, one should perhaps exercise care in using shear bands to determine the kind of motion or the sense of bulk shearing.  相似文献

Post-collision magmatism and tectonics in northwest Anatolia   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Nigel B. W. Harris  Simon Kelley  Aral I. Okay 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1994,117(3):241-252

A suite of biotite-hornblende granodiorite intrusions has been emplaced into blueschist-facies metasediments in northwest Anatolia, following collision between two continental margins, now represented by the Tavanli and Sakarya zones. The ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages of phengites and glaucophanes from the blueschists, metamorphosed under unusually high P-low T conditions (P=20±2 kbar, T=430±30° C), suggest that metamorphism apparently occurred over a period spanning at least 20 Ma from 108 to 88 Ma. Post-tectonic granodiorites were emplaced during the Eocene (53 to 48 Ma) resulting in a cordierite and andalusite-bearing thermal aureole, indicative of pressures of 3 kbar. Trace-element systematics of the granodiorites are consistent with a derivation either from mantle-derived magmas by fractional crystallisation in shallow magma chambers, or from anatexis of crustal lithologies of internediate composition at pressures <10 kbar. The preservation of high P-low T assemblages in the blueschists together with the range of ages determined for blueschist-facies metamorphism are indicative of rapid exhumation of delaminated fragments from a subducted continental margin. However decompression melting of the crust is unlikely to have been a significant cause of magmatism, both because exhumation of the blueschists from deep crustal levels predated magmatism by at least 25 Ma, and because of the small melt fraction (<0.1) that may be generated in crustal lithologies by this process. Melting in the mantle wedge is required either to generate a primary melt for the derivation of magmas of intermediate composition or to provide an advective heat source for crustal melting. The cause of melt formation in the upper mantle may be related to the termination of subduction following collision during the Mid-Eocene.  相似文献   

Ferropericlase—a lower mantle phase in the upper mantle     

Gerhard P. Brey  Vadim Bulatov  Andrei Girnis  Jeff W. Harris  Thomas Stachel   《Lithos》2004,77(1-4):655-663

Experiments on compositions along the join MgO–NaA³⁺Si₂O₆ (A=Al, Cr, Fe³⁺) show that sodium can be incorporated into ferropericlase at upper mantle pressures in amounts commonly found in natural diamond inclusions. These results, combined with the observed mineral parageneses of several diamond inclusion suites, establish firmly that ferropericlase exists in the upper mantle in regions with low silica activity. Such regions may be carbonated dunite or stalled and degassed carbonatitic melts. Ferropericlase as an inclusion in diamond on its own is not indicative of a lower mantle origin or of a deep mantle plume. Coexisting phases have to be taken into consideration to decide on the depth of origin. The composition of olivine will indicate an origin from the upper mantle or border of the transition zone to the lower mantle and whether it coexisted with ferropericlase in the upper mantle or as ringwoodite. The narrow and flat three phase loop at the border transition zone—lower mantle together with hybrid peridotite plus eclogite/sediments provides an explanation for the varying and Fe-rich nature of the diamond inclusion suite from Sao Luiz, Brazil.  相似文献   

The trace element composition of silicate inclusions in diamonds: a review   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

On a global scale, peridotitic garnet inclusions in diamonds from the subcratonic lithosphere indicate an evolution from strongly sinusoidal REE_N, typical for harzburgitic garnets, to mildly sinusoidal or “normal” patterns (positive slope from LREE_N to MREE_N, fairly flat MREE_N–HREE_N), typical for lherzolitic garnets. Using the Cr-number of garnet as a proxy for the bulk rock major element composition it becomes apparent that strong LREE enrichment in garnet is restricted to highly depleted lithologies, whereas flat or positive LREE–MREE slopes are limited to less depleted rocks. For lherzolitic garnet inclusions, there is a positive relation between equilibration temperature, enrichment in MREE, HREE and other HFSE (Ti, Zr, Y), and decreasing depletion in major elements. For harzburgitic garnets, relations are not linear, but it appears that lherzolite style enrichment in MREE–HREE only occurs at temperatures above 1150–1200 °C, whereas strong enrichment in Sr is absent at these high temperatures. These observations suggest a transition from melt metasomatism (typical for the lherzolitic sources) characterized by fairly unfractionated trace and major element compositions to metasomatism by CHO fluids carrying primarily incompatible trace elements. Melt and fluid metasomatism are viewed as a compositional continuum, with residual CHO fluids resulting from primary silicate or carbonate melts in the course of fractional crystallization and equilibration with lithospheric host rocks.

Eclogitic garnet inclusions show “normal” REE_N patterns, with LREE at about 1× and HREE at about 30× chondritic abundance. Clinopyroxenes approximately mirror the garnet patterns, being enriched in LREE and having chondritic HREE abundances. Positive and negative Eu anomalies are observed for both garnet and clinopyroxene inclusions. Such anomalies are strong evidence for crustal precursors for the eclogitic diamond sources. The trace element composition of an “average eclogitic diamond source” based on garnet and clinopyroxene inclusions is consistent with derivation from former oceanic crust that lost about 10% of a partial melt in the garnet stability field and that subsequently experienced only minor reenrichment in the most incompatible trace elements. Based on individual diamonds, this simplistic picture becomes more complex, with evidence for both strong enrichment and depletion in LREE.

Trace element data for sublithospheric inclusions in diamonds are less abundant. REE in majoritic garnets indicate source compositions that range from being similar to lithospheric eclogitic sources to strongly LREE enriched. Lower mantle sources, assessed based on CaSi–perovskite as the principal host for REE, are not primitive in composition but show moderate to strong LREE enrichment. The bulk rock LREE_N–HREE_N slope cannot be determined from CaSi–perovskites alone, as garnet may be present in these shallow lower mantle sources and then would act as an important host for HREE. Positive and negative Eu anomalies are widespread in CaSi–perovskites and negative anomalies have also been observed for a majoritic garnet and a coexisting clinopyroxene inclusion. This suggests that sublithospheric diamond sources may be linked to old oceanic slabs, possibly because only former crustal rocks can provide the redox gradients necessary for diamond precipitation in an otherwise reduced sublithospheric mantle.  相似文献   

Diamondiferous lithospheric roots along the western margin of the Kalahari Craton—the peridotitic inclusion suite in diamonds from Orapa and Jwaneng     

Stachel  T.  Viljoen  K. S.  McDade  P.  Harris  J. W. 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2004,147(1):32-47

The Orapa and Jwaneng kimberlites are located along the western margin of the Kalahari Craton and the prevalence of eclogitic over peridotitic diamonds in both mines has recently been linked to lower P-wave velocities in the deep mantle lithosphere (relative to the bulk of the craton) to suggest a diamond formation event prompted by mid-Proterozoic growth and modification of preexisting Archean lithosphere (Shirey et al. 2002). Here we study peridotitic diamonds from both mines, with an emphasis on the style of metasomatic source enrichment, to evaluate their relationship with this major eclogitic diamond formation event. In their major element chemistry, the peridotitic inclusions compare well with a world-wide database but reveal differences to diamond sources located in the interior of the Western Terrane of the Kaapvaal block, where the classical mines in the Kimberley region are located. The most striking difference is the relative paucity of low-Ca (<2 wt% CaO in garnet) harzburgites and a low ratio of harzburgitic to lherzolitic garnets (2:1). This suggests that lithospheric mantle accreted to the rim of the Zimbabwe and Kaapvaal blocks was overall chemically less depleted. Alternatively, this more fertile signature may be assigned to stronger metasomatic re-enrichment but the trace element signature of garnet inclusions is not in favor of strong enrichment in major elements. For both mines the majority of lherzolitic and harzburgitic garnet inclusions are characterized by moderately sinusoidal REE_N patterns and low Ti, Zr and Y contents, indicative of a metasomatic agent with very high LREE/HREE and low HFSE. This is consistent with metasomatism by a CHO-fluid or, as modeled by Burgess and Harte (2003), a highly fractionated, low-volume silicate melt from the MORB-source. In both cases, changes in the major element chemistry of the affected rocks will be limited. In a few garnets from Orapa preferential MREE enrichment is observed, suggesting that the percolating fluid/melt fractionated a LREE-phyllic phase (such as crichtonite). The overall moderate degree of metasomatism reflected by the inclusion chemistry is in stark contrast to lithospheric sections for Orapa and Jwaneng based on mantle xenocrysts and xenoliths, revealing extensive mantle metasomatism (Griffin et al. 2003). This suggests that the formation of peridotitic diamonds predates the intensive modification of the subcratonic lithosphere during Proterozoic rifting and compression, implying that diamonds may survive major tectonothermal events.Editorial responsibility: J.

ALSEP-quasar differential VLBI     

Martin A. Slade  Robert A. Preston  Alan W. Harris  Lyle J. Skjerve  Donovan J. Spitzmesser 《Earth, Moon, and Planets》1977,17(2):133-147

A program of ALSEP-Quasar Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) is being carried out at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. These observations primarily employ a 4-antenna technique whereby simultaneous observations with two antennas at each end of an intercontinental baseline are used to derive the differential interferometric phase between a compact extragalactic radio source (usually a quasar) and a number of ALSEP transmitters on the lunar surface. A continuous ALSEP-quasar differential phase history over a few hour period will lead to milliarcsecond angular accuracy in measuring the lunar position against the quasar reference frame if suitable calibration measurements are obtained. Development of this application of the 4-antenna technique has been underway at JPL for more than a year and is now producing high quality data utilizing Deep Space Network (DSN) stations in Australia, Spain, and Goldstone, California as well as the STDN Apollo station at Goldstone. These high accuracy observations are of value to tie the lunar ephemeris to a nearly inertial extragalactic reference frame, to test gravitational theories, and to measure the Earth-Moon tidal friction interaction.This paper presents the results of one phase of research carried out at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under Contract No. NAS 7-100, sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.  相似文献
