The New Discoveries of Sinanthropus pekinensis and Their Bearing on the Sinanthropus and Pithecanthropus Problems     

FRANZ WEIDENREICH 《地质学报》1937,(Z1)

In my publication on the Choukoutien population published lastyear I gave a list of all the Sinanthropus material available at that time.Since then only a few new discoveries have been made which, althoughfew in number, are of the greatest importance.  相似文献   

Safety Level and Reliability Index for Bank Slope Stability     

Mai Yuanjian Senior Engineer  the th Harbour Engineering Bureau  The Ministry of Communications of P. R. China  Guangzhou 《中国海洋工程》1997,(2)

Based on statistics and analysis of the safety factor of unstable bank slopes,the relation be-tween safety level and reliability index of stability is studied and discussed,and then the elementary cali-brating calculation is carried out to the levels of safety and reliability for bank slope stability in the rangeof safety factors stipulated in existing China Technical Specifications for Port Engineering—FoundationPart(1987)and to those reached by some stable bank slopes already built.The results show that the relia-bility index β in the effective stress method is able to reach a high value of 2.4～4.1(mid-value 3.25),while the value of β in other three kinds of total stress method can just reach a lower value of 0.5～2.8(mid-value 1.65),which are in conformity with the engineering experience in China,and thus acceptable.Some suggestions are also given in this paper to the adoption of the value of β_0—objective reliability indexfor bank slope stability.  相似文献   

A controlling factor approach to estuary classification     

Terry M. Hume  Ton Snelder  Mark Weatherhead  Rick Liefting 《Ocean & Coastal Management》2007,50(11-12):905-929

A new approach to the classification of estuaries is described. The estuary environment classification (EEC) is based on a hierarchical view of the abiotic components that comprise the environments of estuaries. The EEC postulates that climate, oceanic, riverine and catchment factors ‘control’ a hierarchy of processes and broadly determine the physical and biological characteristics of estuaries. The classification differentiates estuaries at four levels of detail. Level 1 differentiates global scale variation based on differences in climatic and oceanic processes, which are discriminated by the factors: latitude, oceanic basins and large landmasses. Level 2 differentiates variation in estuary hydrodynamic processes, which are discriminated by estuary basin morphometry, river and oceanic forcing. Level 3 differentiates variation among estuaries that are due to catchment processes, which are discriminated by catchment geology and catchment land cover. The approach has been applied to all the estuaries in New Zealand using existing data sources. Estuaries were assigned class membership at each level of the classification by applying criteria in the form of decision rules to the database of assignment characteristics. GIS was then used to map the estuaries with classes being defined by colour at any level of the classification. The resulting map provides a multi-scale spatial framework that is suitable for many environmental or conservation management applications.  相似文献

Nitrogen loads to New Zealand aquatic receiving environments: comparison with regulatory criteria     

Ton H. Snelder  Amy L. Whitehead  Caroline Fraser  Scott T. Larned  Marc Schallenberg 《新西兰海洋与淡水研究杂志》2020,54(3):527-550

ABSTRACT

There is concern about the deteriorating nutrient status of aquatic receiving environments in New Zealand. We estimated the amount by which current nitrogen (N) concentrations and loads exceed criteria in rivers, lakes and estuaries nationally. Criteria corresponded to national ‘bottom-line’ (i.e. minimal) environmental objectives set by government policy. Three metrics were evaluated: (1) degree of compliance describes the current TN loads in receiving environments relative to criteria; (2) catchment N status describes the acceptability of catchment N loads compared to criteria; and (3) excess load indicates the amount by which the N load exceeds the maximum allowable load (kg yr^?1). Non-compliance with N criteria was broadly distributed nationally particularly in low-elevation catchments. Catchments with unacceptable N status constituted at least 31% of New Zealand’s land area, which corresponds to at least 43% of the country’s agricultural land. The national excess load was estimated to be at least 19.1 Gg yr^?1. We are 97.5% confident that estimated excess loads exceed zero for nine of 15 regions and for the nation as a whole. The analyses provide a strategic assessment of where reductions in N emissions are required to achieve the minimal national objectives.  相似文献

Determining Titan surface topography from Cassini SAR data     

Bryan W. Stiles  Scott Hensley  David M. Bates  Alex Hayes  Ralph D. Lorenz  Philip S. Callahan  William T.K. Johnson  Jonathan I. Lunine  Michael Janssen  Richard D. West  the Cassini RADAR Team 《Icarus》2009,202(2):584-598

A technique, referred to as SARTopo, has been developed for obtaining surface height estimates with 10 km horizontal resolution and 75 m vertical resolution of the surface of Titan along each Cassini Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) swath. We describe the technique and present maps of the co-located data sets. A global map and regional maps of Xanadu and the northern hemisphere hydrocarbon lakes district are included in the results. A strength of the technique is that it provides topographic information co-located with SAR imagery. Having a topographic context vastly improves the interpretability of the SAR imagery and is essential for understanding Titan.SARTopo is capable of estimating surface heights for most of the SAR-imaged surface of Titan. Currently nearly 30% of the surface is within 100 km of a SARTopo height profile. Other competing techniques provide orders of magnitude less coverage.We validate the SARTopo technique through comparison with known geomorphological features such as mountain ranges and craters, and by comparison with co-located nadir altimetry, including a 3000 km strip that had been observed by SAR a month earlier. In this area, the SARTopo and nadir altimetry data sets are co-located tightly (within 5-10 km for one 500 km section), have similar resolution, and as expected agree closely in surface height. Furthermore the region contains prominent high spatial resolution topography, so it provides an excellent test of the resolution and precision of both techniques.  相似文献   

苏北盆地高邮凹陷侵入岩形成时期及成因机制探讨   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

胡晓春 《地层学杂志》2010,34(3)

通过对苏北盆地高邮凹陷的上、下两套侵入岩与断层的错断及其与构造运动强弱的关系、与油气成藏期的关系以及侵入岩的平面分布研究,提出了侵入岩的侵入时期为三垛期,而非盐城期。通过对晚白垩世以来苏北盆地各期构造运动及其伴生火山活动的分析,认为高邮凹陷侵入岩的成因主要由于晚始新世至渐新世末,该区发生了三垛运动,并发育一系列北东及北西向的断裂构造,导致了岩浆活动,并以侵入特征为主。  相似文献

The contemporary stress field in the earth's crust is important and provides insights into mechanisms that drive plate motions.In this study,elastic plane stress finite element modeling incorporating realistic rock parameters was used to calculate the stress field,displacement field,and deformation of the plate interactions in the eastern Mediterranean.Modeled stress data for the African-Arabian-Anatolian plate interactions with fixed European platform correlate well with observed contemporary stress indica...  相似文献
