Chemical modification of sea water by submarine volcanism at Nishinoshima-Shintô Island     

Yoshimasa Toyota  Satoru Kanamori  Michihiko Kodama  Masahiro Furukawa  Shiro Okabe 《Journal of Oceanography》1982,38(5):307-312

Sea water samples, still hot from volcanic emanations were taken in a bay of Nishinoshima-Shintô Island just after volcanic activity had ceased and were analysed for borate-B, fluoride-F and bromide-Br. The hot water is considered to be formed by the conservative mixing of volcanic emanations with sea water, and the emanations containedCl, B, F andBr in the ratio of 1∶1.84×10^?3∶0.474×10^?3∶6.47×10^?3 by weight. RatiosB/Cl andF/Cl can be used as effective measures of the contribution of volcanic emanations to sea water.  相似文献   

Comparison of surface velocities determined from altimeter and drifting buoy data     

Kaoru Ichikawa  Shiro Imawaki  Haruo Ishii 《Journal of Oceanography》1995,51(6):729-740

Surface velocities determined from trajectory of a drifting buoy from March through November 1987 are compared with surface geostrophic velocities determined from sea surface dynamic topography (SSDT) obtained from altimetry data with the aid of long-term hydrographic observation data. In general, these velocities show similar temporal variations in both zonal and meridional components, except in a period when obvious error is found in the altimetric SSDT field. When the buoy was trapped by several mid-ocean meso-scale eddies, the comparison is especially good. Systematic discrepancy is found, however, when the buoy was in the Kuroshio region, because of using both temporally and spatially smoothed mean SSDT estimated from hydrographic data; instead, surface geostrophic velocities determined from the altimetric SSDT referred to the improved geoid model result in better comparison.  相似文献

测定了在3.5％食盐水中碳钢的法拉第交流阻抗,其结果与理论解析结果一致。阴极保护的实际效率(保护效率p和保护电流利用率q的乘积即r=p×q)在腐蚀电位E′_(cor)附近表现出最大值,这个电位可以认为是阴极保护的最佳保护电位。由于法拉第交流阻抗值容易被测得,为此提出了一种对阴极保护系统进行监测管理的一种新方法。  相似文献   

Geostrophy in the Intermediate and Deep Layers of the Kuroshio and Its Recirculation Regions South of Japan

Theoretically, the geostrophic approximation holds for the low-frequency flow field, but no detailed examination has been done on how well the estimated geostrophic velocity corresponds with the observed velocity. Intensive surveys were carried out during 1993–1995 in the Kuroshio and its recirculation regions south of Shikoku, Japan, including repeated hydrographic surveys and direct current measurements at nominal depths of 700, 1500 and 3000 m. For these depth intervals, vertical differences of estimated geostrophic velocity are compared with those of observed velocity. For the intermediate layer (between 700 and 1500 m depths), the slope of the regression line is 0.99, correlation coefficient is 0.98, and the root-mean-square of difference from geostrophic balance is 2.8 cm/s which is close to the estimated error of 2.1 cm/s. For the deep layer (between 1500 and 3000 m depths), the corresponding values are 0.82, 0.93, 1.2 cm/s and 2.0 cm/s, respectively. The results indicate that the estimated geostrophic velocity compares well with the observed velocity in these regions. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献   

Effective Emergency Transportation for Saving Human Lives     

Yasuko Kuwata  Shiro Takada 《Natural Hazards》2004,33(1):23-46

To save lives immediately after a catastrophic earthquake occurs, it is essential for an urban transportation system to retain its functional performance in order to carry injured people to hospitals. Recent seismic assessment studies have mostly been based on cost-benefit analyses, carried out in monetary terms that are reasonable for long-term considerations. However, many problems of seismic risk management still remain. For example, attributing a monetary value to a human life is considered impossible. Also, requirements for functioning of a transportation system are different in the period immediately after an earthquake. This paper concentrates on how to assess the importance of an urban transportation system as it relates to saving human life, and what system enhancements should be made to improve performance. This paper proposes a risk assessment method for the functional reliability of a transportation system immediately after an earthquake. In that period, system malfunction adversely affects the saving of lives as a result of time delays when moving injured people to medical facilities. A system dynamics simulation of transporting injured people is incorporated in the method, which uses two assessment approaches to evaluate the differences of cumulative injured people who receive medical care. In deciding on the destination of medical facility in the simulation, two ways of deciding are addressed; one uses information only on the road network, and the other uses information on both road network and hospital availability. Results of an application to an actual target area show the most vulnerable road links and differences of the two decision-making processes. A way to mitigate the loss due to damage to road links is examined. The paper also summarizes future developments in advanced information technology for emergency transportation systems.  相似文献   

An equivalent-boundary method for the shell analysis of buried pipelines under fault movement   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Introduction The history of research work on the response of buried pipeline under the fault movement hasbeen about 30 years. Several simplified design methods have been proposed to obtain the maxi-mum stress or strain in pipe. These methods include the theoretical method and the finite elementmethod (FEM). In the theoretical method, the pipe is usually modeled as a cable (Newmark, Hall1975; Kennedy, et al, 1977) or a beam (Wang, Wang, 1995; LIU, ZHANG, 2002). These theoreti-cal me…  相似文献

Peroxy Radical Concentrations Measured at a Forest Canopy in Nikko,Japan, in Summer 2002     

Bin?Qi  Akinori?Takami  Shiro?HatakeyamaEmail author 《Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry》2005,52(1):63-79

Concentrations of peroxy radicals were measured by a chemical amplification technique at a remote forested site as part of the Program for Research on Oxidants in a Forested Region in Nikko (PROFRN). During the measurement period of 22–27 July 2002, the mixing ratios of peroxy radicals averaged for 3 min at midday ranged from 109 to 134 pptv at a height approximately 5 m above the forest canopy. Significant diurnal variation in concentrations of peroxy radicals was observed, with the maximum usually occurring around noon. Most of the variation was driven by changes in the intensity of solar radiation. However, it was found that the peroxy radical concentration reached its peak about 3-h later than that of solar radiation on 24 and 26 July. The origins of this delay are discussed based on an analysis of the total radical budget in that period. A transport of polluted air masses to the site was one of possible causes for the inconsistency. In addition, the measured peroxy radical concentrations were compared with those derived from the deviations of NO-NO₂-O₃ photo-stationary state (PSSD) for clear days. The estimated half-hour-average concentrations of peroxy radical were in agreement with the PERCA measured in the morning and late afternoon. However the two techniques differed by as much as a factor of two during the time of near midday.  相似文献   

The effect of the stellar wind velocity on the eccentric-orbit binary model     

Toru Okuda  Shiro Sakashita 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1982,83(1-2):441-444

The previous eccentric-orbit binary model for the recurrent X-ray sources is modified by taking account of the velocity field of the stellar wind. The resultant formula of the light curves for the X-ray sources may have an useful application to the observed X-ray sources.  相似文献

Analytical data for five GSJ (Geological Survey of Japan) reference samples, the "Instrumental analysis series" received by October 1998, are compiled. The data reported in publications and personal communications were evaluated statistically, taking into account the analytical method and sample preparation. Based on the selected available data, recommended and preferred values for fourteen major and fifty one minor and trace elements are proposed.  相似文献
