Using a gravitational field truncated at the 4th degree and order, the 1:1 ground-track resonance is studied. To address the main properties of this resonance, a 1-degree of freedom (1-DOF) system is firstly studied. Equilibrium points (EPs), stability and resonance width are obtained. Different from previous studies, the inclusion of non-spherical terms higher than degree and order 2 introduces new phenomena. For a further study about this resonance, a 2-DOF model which includes a main resonance term (the 1-DOF system) and a perturbing resonance term is studied. With the aid of Poincaré sections, the generation of chaos in the phase space is studied in detail by addressing the overlap process of these two resonances with arbitrary combinations of eccentricity (e) and inclination (i). Retrograde orbits, near circular orbits and near polar orbits are found to have better stability against the perturbation of the second resonance. The situations of complete chaos are estimated in the \(e-i\) plane. By applying the maximum Lyapunov Characteristic Exponent (LCE), chaos is characterized quantitatively and similar conclusions can be achieved. This study is applied to three asteroids 1996 HW1, Vesta and Betulia, but the conclusions are not restricted to them.  相似文献

Time-dependent neutrino transport out of dense stellar cores     

I. Lichtenstadt  A. Ron  N. Sack  J. J. Wagschal  S. A. Bludman 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1980,71(1):219-227

Time-dependent neutrino transport out of an optically thick neutronized stellar core is calculated to study the effects of neutrino degeneracy and of source depletion. Neutrino trapping inhibits further neutrino emission until neutrinos peel out of the outer zones of the core, exposing successively inner zones. This inwardly propagating neutrino rarefaction wave can lead toe ^–+pv+n oscillations in chemical composition. The effect of neutrino Fermi statistics is to retard considrably and disperse neutrino leakage out of the core, making neutrino transport insignificant during fast stages of core collapse.Supported in part by the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract EY-76-C-02-3071.  相似文献   

Relationship of Water Chemistry to Serum ThyroidHormones in Captive Sharks with Goitres     

Gerald L. Crow  Marlin J. Atkinson  Benny Ron  Shannon Atkinson  Arleene D. K. Skillman  George T. F. Wong 《Aquatic Geochemistry》1998,4(3-4):469-480

Captive whitetip reef sharks, Triaenodon obesus,at Sea Life Park (SLP) Hawaii, Waimanalo, Hawaii develop goitre, whereas, T. obesus at the Waikiki Aquarium (WAQ), Honolulu,Hawaii do not develop goitre. To determine theeffects of natural concentrations of iodine on thereduction of goitre, two sharks from SLP with goitrewere placed in an enclosed coastal lagoon with naturalseawater. Using ultrasound measurements the twogoitres were initially 11.4 cm and 14.6 cm in depthand after 3 months decreased to 4.7 cm and 5.7 cm. Radioimmunoassay analysis of the thyroid hormoneT3 sera concentrations were initially 0.22 ng/mland 0.33 ng/ml and increased to 1.84 ng/ml after beingplaced in the lagoon. Sera T4 were initially0.93 ng/ml and 0.99 ng/ml and increased dramaticallyto 17 ng/ml and 56 ng/ml. Over the six month samplingperiod, two resident sharks in the lagoon with normalthyroids had sera T3 concentrations from 0.89ng/ml to 1.1 ng/ml, and sera T4 concentrationsfrom 3.1 ng/ml to 7.9 ng/ml. The hypothyroidcondition in the SLP goitred-sharks is likely linkedto the low environmental iodide (<0.005 M), andhigh nitrate (111 M) of SLP water. The WAQwell-water facility was characterized by anoxic waterwith high iodide (0.60 M), total iodine (1.90M), and typical nitrate (24.6 M)concentrations of interstitial groundwater. Thedifference of iodide concentration of SLP and WAQ tankwater (<0.005 M versus 0.60 M) wasdirectly related to the hydrogeology of the well-watersources. To avoid goitre in marine aquarium systems,we recommend maintaining iodide concentrations of atleast 0.15 M.  相似文献   

Relative potency of PAHs and heterocycles as aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonists in fish   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  

Barron MG  Heintz R  Rice SD 《Marine environmental research》2004,58(2-5):95-100

The relative potency of polycyclic aromatic compounds as aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonists in fish was determined using data on CYP1A induction or AhR binding for 74 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heterocycles in teleost, avian, or mammalian systems from 18 published papers. Each PAH was assigned a fish potency factor relative to the potency of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin as an AhR agonist. Two and three ring unsubstituted PAHs were generally inactive in fish, avian, and mammalian systems. Benzo[k]fluoranthene and indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene were consistently the most potent PAHs, with fish potency factors of 0.001-0.002. Common structural features associated with higher potency PAHs included 4-6 rings containing fluoranthene or phenanthrene structures with an exposed bay region. These results show that PAHs can have similar potency as many dioxin-like PCBs, and AhR mediated toxicity should be considered in assessing the risks of PAHs in fish.  相似文献

Ethnic Capital and Assimilation to the Great Australian (Homeownership) Dream: the early housing experience of Australia's skilled immigrants   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

James Forrest  Ron Johnston  Michael Poulsen 《The Australian geographer》2014,45(2):109-129

We use the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Australia, 2005–2006, to examine the housing tenure experience of skilled immigrants to Australia 6 and 18 months after arrival for relationships with ethnic capital (cultural background), visa category streams, aspects of human capital, demographics, social capital and discrimination. Homeownership experience is used to indicate integration into Australia's dominantly middle-class society. Multinomial regression analysis identifies visa entry category as the most important independent group of variables accounting for immigrants' short-term dwelling tenure, followed by aspects of human capital, family status, and the importance of ethnic capital for immigrants of both English-speaking and non-English-speaking backgrounds, and discrimination.  相似文献   

ROBERT E. DICKINSON AND THE GROWTH OF URBAN GEOGRAPHY: AN EVALUATION     

Ron Johnston 《Urban geography》2013,34(8):702-736

Although an innovative researcher on urban geography during the 1930s, and a prolific textbook writer thereafter, Robert Dickinson is not now recognized as one of the influential pioneers of that subfield. This paper explores why that was the case by examining his career, writings and influence, and by setting him in the context of a model of scholarly impact. [Key words: Robert Dickinson, pioneers, influence, history of urban geography.]  相似文献   

The role of metropolitan opportunity structures for understanding variation in the rate of Black household affluence     

Ron Malega 《Urban geography》2013,34(4):530-549

This study explores Black household affluence at the metropolitan scale and suggests that metropolitan-level opportunity structures shaped rates of Black affluence for the 100 largest American metropolitan areas in 2000. I hypothesize that affluent black households favored metropolitan areas of opportunity, those places characterized by having (1) economic opportunities, (2) favorable Black–White relational standing, (3) metropolitan diversity and residential opportunities, and (4) their location in the South, which serves as a Black homeplace. Results fail to suggest evidence regarding the role of the ‘new South’ for understanding metropolitan-level rates of Black affluence. More generally, findings from this study challenge our understanding of socioeconomic stratification by investigating diversity within America’s Black community.  相似文献
