The Carboniferous conodont faunal succession of the lower part of Ko-yama Limestone Group was studied. The confirmed upper Visean–lower Moscovian lithostratigraphy of the group is characterized by the clastic carbonates with common association of the basaltic pyroclastics and some intercalation of spicular chert beds. The faunal succession of Gnathodus semiglaber (upper Visean), Gnathodus praebilineatus – Lochriea multinodosa (upper Visean), Lochriea ziegleri – Gnathodus girtyi girtyi s.l. (lower Serpukhovian), Neoganthodus symmetricus – Idiognathodus primulus (middle – upper Bashkirian), and Idiognathoides convexus – Gondolella clarki (lower Moscovian) faunas, appears in concordance with the lithostratigraphic order. The faunas are correlative with those from the conodont zones of the Hina, Atetsu, Akiyoshi and Omi limestone groups in the Akiyoshi Belt. The Visean/Serpukhovian boundary of the section was recognized by the FAD of Lochriea ziegleri.  相似文献   

The distribution of chiral asymmetry in meteorites: An investigation using asymmetric autocatalytic chiral sensors     

Tsuneomi Kawasaki  Yusuke Fujii  Kenso Soai  Sandra Pizzarello 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2006,70(21):5395-5402

We separated and analyzed several organic and inorganic phases of the carbonaceous chondrite matrix to determine whether they contained any inherent asymmetry. Our intent was to determine any possible foci of asymmetry besides the one determined for meteoritic amino acids. As a probe, we employed a very sensitive asymmetric autocatalytic reaction. We were able to determine that asymmetry still resides in powders after extraction with water and solvents as well as in the insoluble organic material (IOM) obtained after demineralization. Asymmetry is not found any longer in the IOM after hydrothermal treatment and in meteorite powders from which all organics had been removed by O₂ plasma at low temperature. The data are interpreted to indicate a diverse molecular asymmetry residing in yet unknown meteorite organics; these organics might have had an inductive effect on organic molecular evolution upon exogenous delivery to the early Earth.  相似文献

Modification of North Pacific Intermediate Water around Mixed Water Region     

Ryuichiro Inoue  Jiro Yoshida  Yutaka Hiroe  Kousei Komatsu  Kiyoshi Kawasaki  Ichiro Yasuda 《Journal of Oceanography》2003,59(2):211-224

The mixing processes in the Mixed Water Region (MWR) that lead to changes in the properties of North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) have been studied using observational data sets obtained in May–June 1998. Neutral surfaces, the equation of water mass conversion rate on neutral surfaces and the equation of vertical velocity across neutral surfaces have been used to distinguish dominant processes by assuming the horizontal scale to be the streamer scale (under 100 km). The possibility of double diffusive convection is also discussed in relation to the density ratio. These results may be summarized as follows: (1) the difference between the potential density surface and the neutral surface may rise to −0.04 kg/m³ around the source water of NPIW; (2) horizontal diffusion causes strong modifications of the source water of NPIW; (3) the density range within which strong modification of the source water of NPIW occurs becomes dense from the northern part of MWR near the Oyashio Front to the southern part near the Kuroshio Front, and to the eastern part. Our modeling of these processes shows that cabbeling has effects on the density increment of the source water of NPIW in the northern and southern part of MWR. Double diffusive convection has effects on the density increment of the source water of NPIW, mainly in the northern part of MWR. The possible density increment due to cabbeling in these areas is estimated to be 0.01≈0.03 kg/m³. The possible density increment due to double diffusive convection is 0.01≈0.03 kg/m³. The total density increment due to cabbeling and double diffusive convection amounts to 0.06 kg/m³.

Hydrographic Structure and Transport of Intermediate Water in the Kuroshio Region off the Boso Peninsula, Japan   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1  

Kosei Komatsu  Yutaka Hiroe  Ichiro Yasuda  Kiyoshi Kawasaki  Terrence M. Joyce  Frank Bahr 《Journal of Oceanography》2004,60(2):487-503

Hydrographic structure and transport of intermediate water were observed in the Kuroshio region south of Japan, focusing on the 26.6–27.5σ_θ density in six cruises from May 1998 through September 2001. In the section off the Boso Peninsula where the Kuroshio exfoliates eastward, the intermediate water was clearly clustered into three groups meridionally composed of the coastal water, the Kuroshio water and the offshore water. Compared with the Kuroshio water characterized by warm, salty water transported by the Kuroshio, the coastal and offshore waters significantly degenerated due to mixing with cold, fresh waters originated from the subarctic region: the former was affected by alongshore spread of the coastal Oyashio and the latter by direct intrusion of the new North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) into the southern side of the Kuroshio current axis. Particularly the offshore water showed higher apparent oxygen utilization (AOU) in layers deeper than 26.9σ_θ while it showed lower AOU in layers shallower than 26.9σ_θ, which indicated that colder, fresher and higher AOU water was distributed on the southeastern side of the Kuroshio in deeper layers. In May 1998, the Oyashio-Kuroshio mixing ratio was estimated to be typically 2:8 for the offshore water on the assumption of isopycnal mixing. Moreover, northeastward volume transport of the Kuroshio water was obtained from geostrophic velocity fields adjusted to lowered acoustic Doppler current profiler (LADCP) data to yield 6.1 Sv at 26.6–26.9σ_θ and 11.8 Sv at 26.9–27.5 σ_θ.

Neogene geological history of the Tohoku Island Arc system     

Eiichi Honza  Hideo Kagami  Noriyuki Nasu 《Journal of Oceanography》1977,33(6):297-310

The Pacific-type orogeny in the Tohoku Island Arc is discussed using marine geological and geophysical data from both Pacific and Japan Sea along the Tohoku region. The Tohoku Arc is divided into three belts; inner volcanic and sedimentary belt, intermediate uplifted belt and outer sedimentary trench belt. Thick Neogene sediments which are distinguished in several layers by continuous seismic reflection profiling occur on both sides of the intermediate belt. The dominant structural trend of the Neogene layers is approximately parallel to the coast line and to the axis of the Japan Trench and has a extension of approximately 100 km in each unit on the Pacific side. The trench slope break is an uplifted zone of Neogene layers. The structural trend of the upper continental slope and outer shelf is relative uplift of the landward side. Tilted block movement toward the west is the dominant structural trend on the Japan Sea side. Structural trends which can be seen in both the inner and outer belts may suggest horizontal compressional stress of east to west. Orogenesis and tectogenesis in the Tohoku Arc has been active since early Miocene or latest Oligocene. It may be implied that the Japan Trench was not present during Late Cretaceous to Paleogene, as is suggested by the volcanism of the Tohoku Arc. The basic framework of the present structure was formed during late Miocene to early Pliocene in both the inner and outer belts. Structural movements were reactivated during late Pleistocene.  相似文献   

Biological effect on removal of Th-234, Po-210 and Pb-210 from surface water in Funka Bay,Japan     

Noriyuki Tanaka  Yoichiro Takeda  Shizuo Tsunogai 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1983,47(10):1783-1790

Vertical and temporal variations in the radioactivities of Th-234, Pb-210 and Po-210 were measured at a station in Funka Bay from April 1979 to February 1980. The inventory of Th-234 showed a minimum in early spring, when a spring bloom of phytoplankton was observed, then a steady increase to a maximum value in late summer, just before open sea water invaded the bay and a secondary phytoplankton bloom started. The inventories of Pb-210 and Po-210 also showed minima in early spring. These results suggest that the removal of these nuclides from sea water is accelerated by biological activity. The concentration of Th-234 decreased with depth, but those of Po-210 and Pb-210 were higher in the bottom water in August 1979 when the bay water was strongly stratified. This may be due to the supply of Pb-210 and Po-210 from the bottom. However, if the supply of these nuclides is expected in sediment particles, the concentrations of these nuclides in suspended matter were not sufficient to explain their increments in the bottom water.Residence times of Th, Pb and Po were estimated by applying a non-steady state model to the bay water when the water stayed in and the concentrations of these nuclides were changing. The mean residence time of Th is not significantly different from that of Pb, but is about half of that of Po, although the difference is much smaller than that obtained by applying a steady state model.  相似文献   

Relationships between the equatorial electrojet and polar magnetic variations     

A. Onwumechili  K. Kawasaki  S.-I. Akasofu 《Planetary and Space Science》1973,21(1):1-16

On moderately disturbed days when substorms occur frequently, the quiet day daily variation in the polar region (S_q^p) is enhanced. On such days, however, the quiet day variation along the dip equator appears to be suppressed, as well as being superposed with ‘fluctuations’.It is suggested that the enhancement of S_q^p is related to a partial suppression of the equatorial electrojet. The asymmetric ring current also causes an apparent suppression of the electrojet.On the other hand, the substorm-associated electric field which drives the eastward current in the auroral and subauroral zone (causing positive bays) in the afternoon sector appears to enhance the equatorial electrojet.Thus, magnetic variations along the dip equator are influenced by a number of processes in the magnetosphere.  相似文献   

Terrestrial organic matter controlling gas hydrate formation in the Nankai Trough accretionary prism, offshore Shikoku, Japan     

Hiroyuki Saito  Noriyuki Suzuki   《Journal of Geochemical Exploration》2007,95(1-3):88

Sediment core samples from Sites 1175, 1176, and 1178, ODP Leg 190, Nankai Trough were analyzed for sedimentary organic matter and inorganic elemental compositions to clarify geochemical conditions for the formation of gas hydrate. Low chloride concentrations and anomalously low core temperature infer the existence of gas hydrate at Site 1178. Trace amounts of gas hydrate are also suggested for Site 1176. Site 1175 does not have any significant evidence of gas hydrate, although all the three sites are within the gas hydrate stability zone. The sediment from Site 1178 is characterized by abundant terrigenous organic matter, older geologic ages, and comparatively higher maturity levels, suggesting high rates of CO₂ generation during diagenesis. The CO₂ generation potential of sediment may be one of the crucial conditions for the formation of gas hydrate.  相似文献   

Risk assessment of water inrush in karst tunnels based on two-class fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method     

Handong Chu  Guangli Xu  Noriyuki Yasufuku  Zhang Yu  Pola Liu  Jifeng Wang 《Arabian Journal of Geosciences》2017,10(7):179

A feasible and accurate method named two-class fuzzy comprehensive evaluation is put forward to assess the risk of water inrush in karst tunnels. In view of regarding tunnel face as the evaluation object, 12 influencing factors of water inrush are selected as the evaluation index system consisting of 4 first-class and 12 second-class indices. Based on fuzzy mathematics theory and expert evaluation method, all the indices are quantitatively graded according to five risk grades. The weights of indices affecting water inrush are rationally distributed by using analytic hierarchy process. Membership functions and weights of indices are utilized to stepwise compute the membership degree of indices corresponding to risk grade, and the principle of maximum membership degree is carried out to discern the risk grade of water inrush. The tunnel faces in seven segments of Qiyueshan tunnel are chosen as the case studies. Evaluation results are derived from the proposed method, and they are generally consistent with the actual results through comparisons. This method provides a cogent way for evaluating the risk of water inrush in karst tunnels.  相似文献
