Spectral photometry of selected areas of the lunar surface during maximum solar activity     

Joseph Sidky Mikhail  Nabil Shoukry Awadalla  Imam Ibrahem Ahmed 《Earth, Moon, and Planets》1976,15(3-4):353-402

Photoelectric observations have been carried out during maximum solar activity in order to investigate the variation of the brightness of the lunar surface with the solar cycle and to detect the possiblity of existing colour anomaly. The brightness data, using a wide-passband filter, do not show any evidence of variation with the solar cycle. No colour anomaly is found for the investigated lunar regions, and the doubt that has been felt by some investigators about the nonexistence of certain colour indices' variation with phase is not confirmed.  相似文献   

Effect of earth media on the seismic motion of embedded rigid structures     

Joseph J. Fedock  Howard L. Schreyer 《地震工程与结构动力学》1981,9(4):311-327

A finite element analysis is performed to determine the influence of the choice of a constitutive model for the earth medium upon the response to seismic waves of an embedded rigid structure. The seismic forcing function is characterized by Rayleigh waves with amplitude parameters adjusted to provide identical free-field motion at a surface reference point for one particular sand represented with elastic, plastic and viscoelastic models. Within the limitations of the analysis, the result is that the steady-state rigid body motions of the embedded structure are essentially identical for these constitutive relations and, consequently, it is appropriate to use an elastic representation for the earth medium.  相似文献   

Towards a more habitable Mars — or — the coming martian spring     

Joseph A. Burns  Martin Harwit 《Icarus》1973,19(1):126-130

Two schemes are presented in which matter is moved closer to Mars so as to increase the equinoctal precession period of Mars. In such a way the Martian springs, during which Mars is habitable in the long winter model of Sagan (1971), could be extended and, in fact, prolonged indefinitely. The schemes involve using solar energy to move the satellite Phobos and/or material from the asteroid belt. Difficulties exist with the proposals but they are presented to stimulate discussion.  相似文献

Transport of water in frozen soil IV. Analysis of experimental results on the effects of ice content     

Yoshisuke Nakano  Allen Tice  Joseph Oliphant 《Advances in water resources》1984,7(2):58-66

Effects of ice content on the transport of water in frozen soil are studied experimentally and theoretically under isothermal conditions. A physical law, that the flux of water in unsaturated frozen soil is proportional to the gradient of total water content is proposed. Theoretical justification is made by the use of the two-phase flow theory. The experimental results are shown to support the proposed physical law. The results of this study are presented in two parts and this is the second paper describing the theoretical aspects of the study.  相似文献   

An empirical garnet (YAG) – xenotime thermometer     

Joseph M. Pyle  Frank S. Spear 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2000,138(1):51-58

 A pronounced negative correlation between the yttrium concentration in garnet ([Y]_Grt) and temperature has been observed in xenotime (YPO₄)-bearing metapelites from central New England, USA. The [Y]_Grt decreases roughly two orders of magnitude (∼5500 to less than 100 ppm Y) over a 150 °C interval. A regression of ln([Y]_Grt) against estimated reciprocal temperature yields the following relationship: with R² = 0.97. The decrease in garnet Y content is most rapid over garnet- to staurolite-zone conditions (450–550 °C) and the thermometer has a precision of a few degrees in this range.

Decolorisation of exhausted reactive dye bath using ozonator for reuse     

M. Sundrarajan Ph.D.  G. Vishnu M.Sc.  K. Joseph M.Tech  Ph.D. 《International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology》2007,4(2):263-270

Exhausted Reactive dye bath samples of Turquoise Blue, Olive Green and Navy Blue shades were collected from cotton knit wear dyeing units in Tirupur. Ozonation was conducted in a column reactor system fed with ozone at the rate of 0.16 g/min to assess its efficiency in reducing the color, chemical oxygen demand and total organic carbon. Complete decolorization of the effluent was achieved in 10 min contact time and ozone consumption of 153 mg/ L for Turquoise Blue, 128 for Olive Green and 143 for Navy Blue shades effluents respectively. The corresponding COD removal was 43%, 44% and 43% for the three shades while TOC removal efficiency was 45%, 45% and 40% respectively. The results from the reusability studies indicate that the dyeing quality was not affected by the reuse of decolorized dye bath for two successive cycles. It is concluded that ozonation is efficient in decolorization of exhausted dye bath effluents containing conventional reactive dyes. However, the corresponding removal of COD from the textile effluent was not significant.  相似文献   

A critical review of three methods used for the measurement of mercury (Hg)-dissolved organic matter stability constants     

Jarrod D. Gasper  George R. Aiken  Joseph N. Ryan 《Applied Geochemistry》2007

Three experimental techniques – ion exchange, liquid–liquid extraction with competitive ligand exchange, and solid-phase extraction with competitive ligand exchange (CLE–SPE) – were evaluated as methods for determining conditional stability constants (K) for the binding of mercury (Hg²⁺) to dissolved organic matter (DOM). To determine the utility of a given method to measure stability constants at environmentally relevant experimental conditions, experimental results should meet three criteria: (1) the data must be experimentally valid, in that they were acquired under conditions that meet all the requirements of the experimental method, (2) the Hg:DOM ratio should be determined and it should fall within levels that are consistent with environmental conditions, and (3) the stability constants must fall within the detection window of the method. The ion exchange method was found to be limited by its detection window, which constrains the method to stability constants with log K values less than about 14. The liquid–liquid extraction method was found to be complicated by the ability of Hg–DOM complexes to partition into the organic phase. The CLE–SPE method was found to be the most suitable of these methods for the measurement of Hg–DOM stability constants. Stability constants for DOM isolates measured using the CLE–SPE method at environmentally relevant Hg:DOM ratios were log K = 25–30 (M⁻¹). These values are consistent with the strong Hg²⁺ binding expected for reduced S-containing binding sites.  相似文献   

Lucinid clam influence on the biogeochemistry of the seagrass<Emphasis Type="Italic">Thalassia testudinum</Emphasis> sediments     

Laura K. Reynolds  Peter Berg  Joseph C. Zieman 《Estuaries and Coasts》2007,30(3):482-490

Lucinid bivalves dominate the infauna of tropical seagrass sediments. While the effect of seagrass on lucinids has been studied, the reverse effect has largely been ignored. Lucinids can alter porewater chemistry (i.e., increase porewater nutrients by suspension feeding and decrease porewater sulfides by oxygen introduction and bacterial oxidation), which can potentially change seagrass productivity and growth morphology. To observe correlations between porewater chemistry and lucinid presence, a field survey and laboratory microcosm experiment were conducted. Survey sampling sites with lucinids had significantly lower sulfide and higher ammonium concentrations than sampling sites without lucinids. There was no difference in phosphate concentration among sampling sites. Both lucinid species used in the microcosm experiment (Ctena orbiculata andLucinesca nassula) significantly lowered sulfide concentrations in the sediment porewater. Microcosm and field survey results were incorporated into a sulfide budget. In seagrass sediments, lucinids remove 2–16% of the total sulfide produced. Sulfide is a major stressor to both plants and animals in Florida Bay sediments; this removal may be important to maintaining seagrass productivity and health. Oxygen introduction into sediments byC. orbiculata was estimated in a dye experiment.C. orbiculata were added to small tubes containing sieved mud and incubated in a bath of seawater with a Rhodamine WT. Rhodamine WT accumulation in the sediment was measured. A first order estimate showed that oxygen introduction can account for less than 5% ofC. orbiculata sulfide removal.  相似文献   

柴达木盆地北缘大柴旦地区古生代花岗岩锆石SHRIMP定年   总被引：15，自引：2，他引：15

大柴旦地区是柴北缘古生代超高压带的重要组成部分,与超高压岩石相伴的花岗岩十分发育。这些花岗岩具有两类不同的岩石地球化学特征,Ⅰ类以 Na_2O/K_2O 比值小于1、明显的负 Eu 异常和低 Sr、高 Y 为特征,具有 S-型花岗岩的属性,Ⅱ类以 Na_2O/K_2O 比值大于1、弱负 Eu 异常到正 Eu 异常和高 Sr、低 Y 为特征,具有Ⅰ-型花岗岩的属性,反映了它们的源岩及成因上的差异。锆石 SHRIMP U—Ph 定年结果表明,大柴旦地区花岗岩的年龄可分为三组,第一组年龄为446.3±3.9Ma,第二组年龄分别为408.6±4.4Ma、403.3±3.8Ma、401.8±3Ma,第三组年龄分别为374.5±1.6Ma、372±2.1Ma。结合区域地质特征,我们认为,第一组年龄可能反映了柴达木陆块与中南祁连板块碰撞的时代,第二组年龄可能反映了深俯冲地下的板块由于拆沉而折返的时代,第三组年龄可能反映了碰撞隆起后造山带上不同块体之间的伸展、滑塌的时代。  相似文献
