Earthquake source time-function from coherent and incoherent rupture     

Junji Koyama 《Tectonophysics》1985,118(3-4)

Theoretical study has been made investigating the seismic source spectrum generated from a coherent and incoherent rupture. An earthquake is modeled by a finite propagating rupture on a fault plane where fault heterogeneities, fault patches, are randomly distributed. The dislocation velocity of such a fracture is assumed to be approximated by a stochastic process of random impacts of particles obeying Brownian motion. The parameters of the present stochastic source are seismic moment, fault dimension, fault patch intensity, and patch fracture time. The model predicts two corner frequencies; one originates from the fault finiteness and the other from the fracturing of fault patches. The seismic source spectrum from the model consequently shows distinct frequency dependence of ω⁰ − ω⁻² − ω^−γ − ω⁻² with increasing angular frequency ω, where γ is about 1.0. The seismic moment is controlled by an average dislocation on the fault and by the fault dimension. The short-period spectrum, which is much more abundant than that of the ordinary deterministic models, is controlled by the product of the fault patch intensity and the square root of their total number. The ω⁻² high frequency asymptote of the theoretical spectrum is in conformity with the white acceleration spectrum usually found in the literature, and it guarantees the finite total energy of the rupture process.  相似文献

徐枝芳  葛文忠  党人庆  Toshio IGUCHI  Takao TAKADA 《大气科学进展》2003,20(2):185-193

将中尺度非静力模式MM5中的积云参数化Grell方案作了改进，使它含有降水云的云水，即雨水含量，并用该模式对1998年6月29日08时-30日08时(北京时)和1998年7月1日08时-2日08时(北京时)发生在淮河流域的两次特大暴雨进行数值模拟研究，同时通过采用R-qr关系将TRMM／PR(Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission/Precipitation Radar)得到的降水强度资料月计算出比含水量qr，然后用qv′＝qv qr取代原模式中的比湿qv。结果表明将TRMM／PR资料加入模式后，由于PR雷达具有较高的空间分辨率，能够很好地反映中小尺度系统的空间结构，能够使湿度值接近实际，缩短了中尺度系统的发展时间，使得模拟出来的降雨强度、雨量中心位置以及雨带形状更接近实况。  相似文献   

用非线性近似方法反演单多普勒雷达风场   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

回顾了近年来由单多普勒雷达观测反演风场的各种方法。这些方法大部分基于线性假设，因此风场的非线性交化经常影响反演结果，使得反演的风场误差增大。我们提出一种以非线性近似理论为基础的反演方法，该方法主要考虑了风场分片光滑的特点并充分利用了雷达的径向风场数据。我们把该方法应用到1998年淮河能量与水循环实验的两个个例中。通过同双多普勒雷达观测的结果比较，发现该方法能反演较高分辨率和淮确性的水平风场，反演的垂直风场也比较合理。  相似文献   

Production of the Blood Pressure Lowing Peptides from Brown Alga （ Undaria pinnatifida ）     

Sato Minoru Oba Takashi Hosokawa Takao Yamaguchi Toshiyasu Nakano Toshiki Saito Tadao Muramoto Koji Kahara T akashi Funayama Katsura Kobayashi Akio Nakano Takahisa 《中国海洋大学学报(英文版)》2005,4(3):209-213

Brown alga （ Undaria pinnatifida） was treated with alginate lyase and hydrolyzed using 17 kinds of proteases and the inhibitory activity of the hydrolysates for the angiotensin-I-converting enzyme （ACE） was measured. Four hydrolysates with potent ACE-inhibitory activity were administered singly and orally to spontaneously hypertensive rats （SHRs）. The systolic blood pressure of SHRs decreases significantly after single oral administration of the brown alga hydrolysates by pro- tease S ＇ Amano＇ （from Bacillus stearothermophilus） at the concentration of 10 （mg protein） （kg body weight）^ - 1. In the 17 weeks of feeding experiment, 7-week-old SHRs were fed standard diet supplemented with the brown alga hydrolysates for 10 weeks. In SHRs fed 1.0 and 0.1% brown alga hydrolysates, elevating of systolic bloodpressure was significantly suppressed for 7 weeks. To elucidate the active components, the brown alga hydrolysates were fractionated by 1-butanol extraction and HPLC on a reverse-phase column. Seven kinds of ACE-inhibitory peptides were isolated and identified by amino acid composition analysis, sequence analysis, and LC-MS with the results Val-Tyr, Ile-Tyr, Ala-Trp, Phe-Tyr, Val-Trp, Ile-Trp, and Leu-Trp. Each peptide was determined to have an antihypertensive effect after a single oral administration in SHRs. The brown alga hydrolysates were also confirmed to decrease the blood pressure in humans.  相似文献   

Influence of the east-west component of the interplanetary magnetic field on the intensity of the auroral electrojet     

Kazuyuki Hakamada  Takao Aoki  Takashi Murayama 《Planetary and Space Science》1980,28(1):29-39

Analysis of interplanetary data has been made to evaluate the influence of the Biny component of the IMF on the magnitude of the AL index, especially with reference to the contribution of B_y in the reconnection process between the IMF and geomagnetic fields in the dayside part of the magnetosphere. The results of the analysis showed that the effect of Biny on AL is predominantly of a different type from that expected by the current theory of reconnection, and the B_y effect of the latter type was found to be much less significant in magnitude than the theory predicts. The discrepancy may be resolved if the region where the reconnection takes place has an elongated shape.  相似文献   

Magnetic pulsation Pi2 as a sensitive indicator of magnetospheric substorm     

T. Saito  K. Yumoto  Y. Koyama 《Planetary and Space Science》1976,24(11):1025-1029

The identification of substorm onset is quite important in studying the mechanism of excitation of substorm disturbances. At present, one of the most practical methods to identify accurately the onset of substorms is to use low-latitude Pi2, which is sensitively related to the plasma instability in the magnetosphere, that triggers the substorm disturbances. This method is applied to examine the onset times of three substorm events which were already defined by various methods other than the low-latitude Pi2 method. Preceding the onset times, other evident substorm onsets are clearly determined with Pi2 onsets for all the three events by examining only the H-component of rapid-run magnetogram from a single low-latitude station in the dark hemisphere. Cooperative monitoring of Pi2 at three low-latitude stations on three well-separated meridians, therefore, is really effective in detecting most substorms.  相似文献

Hydromagnetic waves driven by velocity shear instability in the magnetospheric boundary layer     

Kiyohumi Yumoto  Takao Saito 《Planetary and Space Science》1980,28(8):789-798

The bulk flow of the solar wind plasma in the flank-side of the magnetospheric boundary layer, where the magnetic field lines are closed, has a component transverse to the ambient field. There is quite a strong velocity shear. The theoretical model ignores inhomogeneities in the ambient field and the mass density which occur at the magnetopause on about the same length scale as that of the velocity shear.Consideration is restricted to hydromagnetic waves which have a k-vector nearly normal to the B_o-V_o plane, i.e., approximately the magnetopause surface (k_x >k_z ～ k_y′k_xL_B > 1 and L_B = 0.1 ～ 1.0 R_E where L_B is a characteristic length of the boundary layer). It is found that a long-period (T ? 40 sec) hydromagnetic wave [the Alfvén-like wave ($\text{Ω}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>A</mtext>}}$)] driven by velocity shear instability can be excited in the shear plasma. It is also found that the group velocity of the HM-wave is directed almost along the magnetic field line and that the magnetic variance in the shear plasma tends to be parallel to the B_o-V_o plane. The velocity shear instability in the magnetospheric boundary layer is judged to be a likely source of long-period magnetic pulsations.  相似文献   

Recent insights into analytical precision and modelling of DDA and NMM for practical problems     

Yuzo Ohnishi  Tomofumi Koyama  Ikuo Hagiwara  Shigeru Miki  Testuya Shimauchi 《Geomechanics and Geoengineering》2014,9(2):97-112

This paper discussed the analytical precision on equations of motion in some practical studies that use 2-D DDA, 2D-Coupled analysis of NMM & DDA, and 3D-DDA. We point out the main reason for numerical instability in DDA is loss of the effective digits when superposing the global stiffness matrix under the variable conditions of large and the small blocks. Categories of analyses are distributed in 2D-DDA static masonry structures such as the Great Pyramid and the Pont du Gard, 2D-DDA dynamic rock fall problems and the sensitivity of its analysis on the velocity ratio and the penalty, earthquake response analysis of rock slopes, 2D-NMM, 2D-coupled analysis of DDA and NMM and 3D-DDA rock fall problem. The selected examples on the Great Pyramid, Pont du Gard and Bayon Temple at Angkor Thom are located in Egypt, France and Cambodia respectively as UNESCO world heritages sites. The authors evaluated the applicability of the methods and the reliability of the results by comparing different methods and site observations from the practical problems.  相似文献
