After the filling up of the Hsinfengkiang Reservoir Kwangtung Province, seismicity was greatly increased. The majority of earthquakes occurred in the deep water gorge close to the dam, concentrated within a northwest belt. They are usually of shallow focal depths. A strong earthquake with magnitude 6.1 took place on March 19, 1962, about two and a half years since the impounding of the reservoir.
According to the results of analysis of data from geodetic leveling and the spectra of seismic waves, the fault parameters of the main shock were determined. The fault plane solutions of 150 small earthquakes, occurring within a period of 18 months before and after the main shock were determined from the amplitudes of the first motion of P wave. The directions of the earthquake generating stress of about 2000 small earthquakes were obtained by smoothing the first motion patterns. Displacement field and stress field in the rock bodies underneath the reservoir caused by the loading of the reservoir water were calculated. Variations of the velocity ratio of the P and S waves prior to the main shock and several strong aftershocks were analysed.
In consideration of the seismicity as well as the geological background, we endeavour to discuss the cause of reservoir impounding earthquakes at Hsinfengkiang. We have the opinion that the penetration of water along fissures becomes the most important cause of the main shock of March 19, 1962 at Hsinfengkiang. 相似文献
Gelatin from the sea cucumber(Paracaudina chinens var.) was hydrolyzed by bromelain and the hydrolysate was found to have a high free radical scavenging activity. The hydrolysate was fractionated through an ultrafiltration membrane with 5 kDa molecular weight cutoff(MWCO). The portion(less than 5 kDa) was further separated by Sephadex G-25. The active peak was col-lected and assayed for free radical scavenging activity. The scavenging rates for superoxide anion radicals(O2·-) and hydroxyl radi-cals(·OH) of the fraction with the highest activity were 29.02% and 75.41%,respectively. A rabbit liver mitochondrial free radical damage model was adopted to study the free radical scavenging activity of the fraction. The results showed that the sea cucumber gelatin hydrolysate can prevent the damage of rabbit liver and mitochondria. 相似文献
We describe here a technique of determining the chord length and the relative height between two laser tracking stations using single-pass satellite ranging data over very short arcs. Numerical examples show that this technique can supplement the conventional technique which requires data over much longer arcs by providing a capability for checking the accuracy of the geodetic network of laser tracking stations. 相似文献
A quantitative analysis of the spatial pattern of rural settlements in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River was made with
the major data sources being the relevant ETM image and the national geographical database of China (including contour line,
river and road) at the scale of 1:250 000, and using image interpretation and field investigation to obtain spatial information
on rural settlements. The results of the spatial analysis technique of GIS and correlation analysis showed that most settlements
(78.2 %) were located in the mountain area at 1500 ∼ 2700 m altitude, and almost half in the arid valley area. More than 80.0
% of settlements had their slopes above 15°. Most settlements had good access to water resources, roads and communications,
and tended to cluster close to the road network rather than the river. About half of the rural settlements in the study area
were relatively concentrated, while the others were decentralized. Those with higher altitude usually had land with steep
slope, inconvenient water and road accesses, and were located far apart from each other. In view of such a situation, further
research should be done to make reasonable countermeasures on these settlements for better living conditions and ecosystem
stability. 相似文献
A double discontinuity is a rarely observed compound structure composed of a slow shock layer and an adjoining rotational
discontinuity layer in the downstream region. In this paper, we report the observations of a double discontinuity detected
by Wind on May 15, 1997. This double discontinuity is found to be the front boundary of a magnetic cloud boundary layer. We
strictly identify the shock layer and the rotational discontinuity layer by using the high-resolution plasma and magnetic
field data from Wind. The observed jump conditions of the upstream and downstream region of the slow shock layer are in good
agreement with the Rankine – Hugoniot relations. The flow speeds in the shock frame Un<VAcos θBn on both sides of the slow shock layer. In the upstream region, the slow Mach number Ms1=Un1/Vs1 is 1.95 (above unity), and in the downstream region, the slow Mach number Ms2=Un2/Vs2 is 0.31 (below unity). Here VA and Vs represent the Alfvén speed and the local slow magnetosonic speed, respectively, and θBn is the angle between the direction of the magnetic field and the shock normal. The magnetic cloud boundary layer observed
by Wind was also detected by Geotail 48 min later when the spacecraft was located outside the bow shock of the magnetosphere.
However, Geotail observations showed that its front boundary was no longer a double discontinuity and the rotational discontinuity
layer disappeared, indicating that this double discontinuity was unstable when propagating from Wind to Geotail. 相似文献
