Analysis of extreme rainfall using the log logistic distribution     

D. L. Fitzgerald 《Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment (SERRA)》2005,19(4):249-257

Computer-intensive methods are used to examine the fit of the log logistic distribution to annual maxima of Irish rainfall. The characteristics of the L-moment solutions are examined by using the conventional bootstrap on the data and by random sampling within the ellipse of concentration of the parameter estimates. A statistical method of examining uncertainty is provided by the maximum product of spacings solution. Factors derived from random division of an interval are proposed for estimation of short-duration falls for which no data are available.  相似文献

The Nilpena ureilite,an unusual polymict breccia: implications for origin

Nilpena (173 g), a new ureilite find from the Parachilna area of South Australia, is an unusual polymict breccia containing polymineralic aggregates, mineral fragments and achondritic and chondritic lithic enclaves in a dark, C-rich matrix. The polymineralic aggregates consist of equigranular-textured olivine Fa₂₀ and pigeonite En₇₅Wo₉FS₁₆, and exhibit evidence of shock in the form of undulose extinction and kink-banding. Monomineralic fragments consist of olivine Fa_19–24 (with highly forsteritic rims up to Fa₃) and pigeonite, and appear to be derived by brecciation of the polymineralic aggregates. The enclave material consists of lithic granular olivine fragments, porphyritic enstatite fragments (either enstatite chondrite or aubrite), olivine-clinobronzite fragments resembling an H3 chondrite, and eucritelike lithic fragments composed of plagioclase An₉₈, salitic clinopyroxene Wo_48.5En_31.4Fs_20.1 and olivine Fa_49–53. The matrix contains kamacite (generally rich in P), schreibersite and troilite. The texture of Nilpena suggests formation by disruption of a olivine-pigeonite granular aggregate while the presence of the diverse chondritic and achondritic enclave material suggests an origin as a surface or near-surface breccia.Like other ureilites Nilpena is strongly differentiated with respect to cosmic abundances but is significantly enriched in Ba and LREE. A lack of correlation of lithophile elements with $\text{Fe}\text{(Fe + Mg)}$ ratio among ureilites suggests that the differentiation was not caused by varying degrees of partial melting of a homogeneous source. A cumulate origin therefore seems more plausible.  相似文献
