A new method for the calibration of a superconducting gravity meter is described, in which a 273 Kg annular mass is placed around the meter and is moved up and down. The geometry of the apparatus is easy to model and the accuracy in the computation of the gravity variation induced by the mass, 6.7µgal, is limited only by the accuracy in the knowledge of value of the gravitational constant. Measurements done in 91 and 92 for the calibration of the instrument GWR-T015 are described. The calibration factor has been determined with a precision of about 0.3%.  相似文献   

The compton effect in the chromosphere,III     

Marco Missana 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1982,85(1-2):137-157

It is shown that in the solar spectrum at the centre of the disc there is evidence of a red shift due to generalized Compton effect and Thomson scattering in the chrosmophere. It is also shown that there is no proof of the Einstein effect.The analysis of the emission lines of the limb spectrum confirms this point of view and is in accord with the previous results obtained from the study of the ultraviolet limb spectrum.At last a study of the spectra of Orionis suggests the possibility that a quite large Compton red shift is present in the spectrum of the star.  相似文献

Validation through HVSR measurements of a method for the quick detection of site amplification effects from intensity data: an application to a seismic area in Northern Italy     

Vera D'Amico  Marco Mucciarelli   《Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering》2002,22(6)

An instrumental validation is attempted of an innovative approach devoted to the quick individuation, from macroseismic data, of site amplification phenomena able to significantly modify seismic hazard levels expected on the basis of average propagation effects only. According to this methodology, two evaluations of hazard are performed at each investigated locality: the former, obtained by epicentral intensity data ‘reduced’ at the site through a probabilistic attenuation function and, the latter, computed by integrating such data with seismic effects actually observed at the site during past earthquakes. The comparison, for each locality, between these two hazard estimates allow to orientate the identification of those sites where local amplifications of earthquake ground motion could be significant. In order to check such methodology, indications obtained in this way from macroseismic data are compared with the estimates of transfer functions performed through the HVSR technique applied to microtremors. Results concerning municipalities located in a seismic area of Northern Italy indicate a good agreement between macroseismic and instrumental estimates.  相似文献   

The BEAM-project: prediction and assessment of mixture toxicities in the aquatic environment

Freshwater and marine ecosystems are exposed to various multi-component mixtures of pollutants. Nevertheless, most ecotoxicological research and chemicals regulation focus on hazard and exposure assessment of individual substances only, the problem of chemical mixtures in the environment is ignored to a large extent. In contrast, the assessment of combination effects has a long tradition in pharmacology, where mixtures of chemicals are specifically designed to develop new products, e.g. human and veterinary drugs or agricultural and non-agricultural pesticides. In this area, two concepts are frequently used and are thought to describe fundamental relationships between single substance and mixture effects: Independent Action (Response Addition) and Concentration Addition. The question, to what extent these concepts may also be applied in an ecotoxicological and regulatory context may be considered a research topic of major importance, as the concepts would allow to make use of already existing single substance toxicity data for the predictive assessment of mixture toxicities. Two critical knowledge gaps are identified: (a) There is a lack of environmental realism, as a huge part of our current knowledge about the applicability of the concepts is restricted to artificial situations with respect to mixture composition or biological effect assessment. (b) The knowledge on what exactly is needed for using the concepts as tools for the predictive mixture toxicity assessment is insufficient. Both gaps seriously hamper the necessary, scientifically sound consideration of mixture toxicities in a regulatory context.In this paper, the two concepts will be briefly introduced, the necessity of considering the toxicities of chemical mixtures in the environment will be demonstrated and the applicability of Independent Action and Concentration Addition as tools for the prediction and assessment of mixture toxicities will be discussed. An overview of the specific aims and approaches of the BEAM project to fill in the identified knowledge gaps is given and first results are outlined.  相似文献

Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Hydroelectric Reservoirs in Tropical Regions   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：2  

Luiz Pinguelli Rosa  Marco Aurelio dos Santos  Bohdan Matvienko  Ednaldo Oliveira dos Santos  Elizabeth Sikar 《Climatic change》2004,66(1-2):9-21

This paper discusses emissions by power-dams in the tropics. Greenhouse gas emissions from tropical power-dams are produced underwater through biomass decomposition by bacteria. The gases produced in these dams are mainly nitrogen, carbon dioxide and methane. A methodology was established for measuring greenhouse gases emitted by various power-dams in Brazil. Experimental measurements of gas emissions by dams were made to determine accurately their emissions of methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) gases through bubbles formed on the lake bottom by decomposing organic matter, as well as rising up the lake gradient by molecular diffusion.The main source of gas in power-dams reservoirs is the bacterial decomposition (aerobic and anaerobic) of autochthonous and allochthonous organic matter that basically produces CO₂ and CH₄. The types and modes of gas production and release in the tropics are reviewed.  相似文献   

HVSR prospecting in multi-layered environments: An example from the Tyrnavos Basin (Greece)   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

A. Oliveto  M. Mucciarelli  R. Caputo 《Journal of Seismology》2004,8(3):395-406

The Tyrnavos Basin (Central Greece) is an E-W trending graben bordered by two major antithetic sets of right-stepping dip-slip normal faults that began forming during Middle Pleistocene as a consequence of the N-S extension which affected the whole Aegean Region. This Quaternary structure is superimposed on the Pliocene-Early Pleistocene NW-SE trending Larissa Basin, approximately 700–800 m deep. Seismic activity is instrumentally well documented within and surrounding the investigated area. Based on structural, morphotectonic and palaeoseismological data, several structures previously characterised as active faults have been investigated by applying the HVSR method. This method is commonly used to map the thickness of sedimentary layers in a basin based on the variation of the fundamental 1-D frequency. The polyphased structural evolution and the consequently complex geological setting do not allow for the contouring of a unique continuous surface. We therefore developed a new interpretation technique for statistically significant HVSR peaks, in order to obtain 2-D sections that can be interpreted in a seismic-like fashion. We applied this technique across the major active faults bordering the basin. The results confirm their occurrence at depth and document the important vertical component of displacement.  相似文献
