Composition,age and origin of two proterozoic diorite—tonalite complexes in the Arabian shield     

F.M.H. Marzouki  N.J. Jackson  C.R. Ramsay  D.P.F. Darbyshire 《Precambrian Research》1982,19(1):31-50

Large amounts of diorite—tonalite magma were intruded into the island-arc successions of the southern Arabian shield between ca. 900 and 700 Ma ago. Major oxide, trace element, rare earth (REE) and isotopic data are presented for two plutons exemplifying older and younger members of this plutonic phase. The Thurrat pluton, which was emplaced into virtually unmetamorphosed volcanics of sequence B, has yielded a 10-point Rb-Sr isochron indicating emplacement 744 ± 22 Ma ago and an initial ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratio of 0.70281. It consists of gabbros, diorites, quartz diorites, tonalites and low-Al₂O₃ trondhjemites which are compositionally primitive, with depleted lithophile element contents and flat REE patterns with a negative Eu anomaly in the trondhjemites. The magma was most probably mantle-derived, and analogies with other trondhjemitic plutons suggest that it was probably emplaced in an island-arc setting. The Bidah pluton, which was emplaced into a compositionally very immature succession of metamorphosed volcanics and volcaniclastics of sequence C, has yielded a nine-point near-isochron (MSWD = 2.86) indicating an age of 901 ± 37Ma and an initial ${}^{87}\text{Sr}{}^{86}\text{Sr}$ ratio of 0.70246. This date is accepted as the age of emplacement. The rocks are compositionally primitive gabbros, diorites, quartz diorites, tonalites and granodiorites with depleted lithophile element contents, and flat REE patterns with a negative Eu anomaly in the more siliceous components. The country-rock volcanics were formed in an immature island-arc environment, and the composition of the Bidah pluton is suggestive of a mainly mantle-derived magma emplaced into that arc. The data for these two plutons therefore provide further evidence that most of the rock material added to the Arabian shield between 900 and 700 Ma ago was derived from the mantle.  相似文献

Infrared brightness of a comet belt beyond Neptune     

A. A. Jackson  R. M. Killen 《Earth, Moon, and Planets》1988,42(1):41-47

We consider the infrared brightness of a flattened comet belt beyond the orbit of Neptune using a disk-like model with a power-law density distribution of comets. We compare this spectrum with the emission from a model zodiacal dust cloud in the ecliptic and with published IRAS data and present some consequences of dust in the comet belt.  相似文献   

Some consequences of a steady thermal moon     

T. S. Jackson 《Planetary and Space Science》1974,22(12):1691-1701

The Moon is represented as an inhomogeneous spherical body in a steady thermal state. Radioactive heat sources are supposed distributed in a manner which is consistent both with the total measured heat flux near the surface and with the broad seismic evidence. Surface concentrations of uranium and thorium are those suggested by the study of Apollo 11 samples. The resultant internal temperature profile allows the details of Sonett's electrical conductivity profile to be understood if it is accepted that the Moon was not cold 4.5 × 10⁹ yr ago. It would appear further that at least one of the maria was formed by the impact of planetesimals.  相似文献

Geochemical dispersion of heavy metals via organic complexing: A laboratory study of copper,lead, zinc,and nickel behaviour at a simulated sediment-water boundary     

K.S. Jackson  G.B. Skippen 《Journal of Geochemical Exploration》1978,10(2):117-138

Data are presented in this study from laboratory model experiments describing the behaviour of Cu, Pb, Zn and Ni at a simulated sediment-water boundary. The interactions involved are sorption by kaolin and by bentonite, organic complexing in solution by fulvic acid and by humic acid, carbonate reactions, hydrolysis, and desorption of the cations from a clay-bound phase and from their metal hydroxides by the organic acids. The organic acids increase the solubility of Cu, Zn and Ni in the presence of clay. The Pb solubility is variable and can even decrease, particularly at acidic pH, with organic complexing likely due to colloidal coagulation. Both Zn and Ni are influenced by hydrolysis at basic pH. When carbonate was added to the metal-organic acid-clay mixtures, a further decrease in solubility was observed for Ni and, to a lesser extent, for Zn. The organic acids prove capable of remobilizing Cu, Pb, Zn and Ni from the solid phases examined. However, there is a general kinetic hindrance to the desorption particularly at basic pH. Copper desorption appears to be the most kinetically hindered. Conclusions pertinent to the geochemical dispersion of these metals are drawn.  相似文献   

Positions and motions of solar bursts at decameter wavelengths     

M. R. Kundu  W. C. Erickson  P. D. Jackson  J. Fainberg 《Solar physics》1970,14(2):394-403

The positions and motions of solar bursts in the range 20 to 60 MHz have been measured by the means of a sweep-frequency grating interferometer with angular resolution of 5 arc at 60 MHz decreasing to 15 arc at 20 MHz. The positional characteristics of the decameter wavelength bursts are discussed in terms of the commonly accepted theories of the origin of radio bursts from plasma and synchrotron radiations.  相似文献

Geospatial Information Integration for Authoritative and Crowd Sourced Road Vector Data   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

This article describes results from a research project undertaken to explore the technical issues associated with integrating unstructured crowd sourced data with authoritative national mapping data. The ultimate objective is to develop methodologies to ensure the feature enrichment of authoritative data, using crowd sourced data. Users increasingly find that they wish to use data from both kinds of geographic data sources. Different techniques and methodologies can be developed to solve this problem. In our previous research, a position map matching algorithm was developed for integrating authoritative and crowd sourced road vector data, and showed promising results ( Anand et al. 2010 ). However, especially when integrating different forms of data at the feature level, these techniques are often time consuming and are more computationally intensive than other techniques available. To tackle these problems, this project aims at developing a methodology for automated conflict resolution, linking and merging of geographical information from disparate authoritative and crowd‐sourced data sources. This article describes research undertaken by the authors on the design, implementation, and evaluation of algorithms and procedures for producing a coherent ontology from disparate geospatial data sources. To integrate road vector data from disparate sources, the method presented in this article first converts input data sets to ontologies, and then merges these ontologies into a new ontology. This new ontology is then checked and modified to ensure that it is consistent. The developed methodology can deal with topological and geometry inconsistency and provide more flexibility for geospatial information merging.  相似文献
