Effect of dark energy on cosmological parameters with LVDP in lyra manifold     

《New Astronomy》2019

We have constructed a model in Lyra manifold and time varying cosmological constant with perfect fluid using LVDP (Linear Varying Deceleration Parameter). Bianchi type-III metric is used as source of investigation. To get a deterministic solution of the field equation the expansion scalar (θ) is considered as proportional to the shear scalar (σ). The cosmological constant is found to be positive which satisfies the result obtained by supernova Type-Ia Observations [1999]. Here we analyse the behaviour of pressure and deceleration parameter by using different form of dark energy(DE). In addition to it, some physical and geometrical properties of the solutions are studied.  相似文献

Variations in chemical composition and particle size of dune sediments along the west coast of Jutland,Denmark     

《Sedimentary Geology》2006,183(3-4):217-242

Geochemical and textural variations in frontal dune sediments along the western coast of Jutland, Denmark, have been investigated in order to identify possible sediment ‘provinces’ and transport pathways. An understanding of sediment sources and sinks is important for both for an understanding of the nature of sedimentary environments and for applied coastal engineering and management purposes. Four coastal sectors were identified on the basis of geochemical composition. One sector is compositionally different from the other three units, having higher concentrations of the trace elements Ni, Cr, V, Sc, Zn, Pb, Ba, Zr and many rare earth elements. Dune sediments on this section of coast also have higher Al₂O₃ to K₂O ratios and lower Al₂O₃ to Fe₂O₃ ratios, reflecting a lower content of feldspar and higher content of heavy minerals. It is inferred that different, or additional, sediment source(s) have supplied sediment to this section of coast. Beach nourishment has contributed to the observed compositional differences, but previous data obtained from the Lodbjerg area indicate that aeolian sands on this section of coast naturally have a relatively high Si, Fe and Ti content, reflecting high quartz / feldspar ratio and relatively high content of heavy minerals, compared with those on other sections of the coast. Frontal dunes along the most northern section show high abundances of K₂O, Rb and Ba, reflecting a relatively high K-feldspar content derived from local sources. Alongshore trends were also identified in the mean particle size and sorting of the frontal dunes, although there is no direct correspondence with the observed geochemical differences. Three coastal units can be identified on the basis of particle size. Frontal dune sediments in the middle section are relatively coarser and less well-sorted than those to the north and south, probably reflecting both the addition of beach nourishment material and greater exposure to strong westerly winds, which are a capable of transporting a wide range of particle sizes. The three units defined on this basis do not correlate directly with the units defined on the basis of geochemical composition.  相似文献   

Apparent seasonal variations in iron photoreduction in acidic discharge from a former pyrite mine,Oakland, California     

《Applied Geochemistry》2006,21(7):1109-1122

This study investigates a watershed influenced by acid mine drainage emanating from the former Leona Heights Sulfur Mine, located in Oakland, California. The primary factors that temporally controlled the magnitude of iron photoreduction included initial iron concentration, incident ultraviolet radiation, water temperature, biotic oxidation, flow rates, and the Fe(III) species present. Vegetation was not expected to seasonally influence the amount of incoming solar radiation reaching the water surface as the tree canopy contained significant cover during both the April and July monitoring events. Accordingly, it was anticipated that iron photoreduction would be greatest during the summer when both incoming ultraviolet radiation and dissolved iron were at a maximum. This was, however, not the case. A substantial decline in the apparent magnitude of iron photoreduction occurred during the summer/dry season (July) with respect to measurements taken during the spring/wet season (April). The primary reasons for the observed phenomenon were attributed to factors which may seasonally control the physical presence of iron oxidizing bacteria at the site and water temperature, which influences the optimum rate of bacterially mediated iron oxidation.  相似文献   

Scales and uncertainties in using models and GIS for volcano hazard prediction     

《Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research》2005,139(1-2):73-87

Practical decision-making in civil protection based on predicting volcano hazards often involves using process models linked with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Optimum use of these techniques for such decision-support requires careful and coordinated consideration of process, data and model scales and their related uncertainties. To avoid wasting resources and time on inappropriate data collection, improper model use, and resultant poor decision-making, there is a pressing need for a scientific and functional framework within which to examine implementation and use of geo-spatial assessment tools. To be useful for researchers and decision-makers, volcano hazard simulation approaches must consider the spatial and temporal variability in volcano processes and the data collected representing those. The successful application and implementation of a geo-spatial distributed volcano hazard model at variable scales requires explicit or implicit use of some form of scaling theory applied to the tasks of selection and transformation of appropriate data, and use of results. In general, there are five consecutive scaling steps that demonstrate how data and model scale, as well as the methods for information transformation between these, play key roles in controlling whether prediction results have been produced efficiently and are appropriate at the scale of interest for a civil protection manager's decision-making process. This new scaling theory can be used as a framework to construct practical procedures for applying GIS-Model-based volcano models that allow effective model application based on realistic data availability and environmental settings.  相似文献   

Arsenic readily released to pore waters from buried mill tailings     

《Applied Geochemistry》2005,20(5):947-959

At the McClean Lake Operation in the Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan, the untreated acid raffinate solutions associated with U mill tailings contain up to 700 mg/L dissolved As. To reduce the concentration of As and other contaminants in acid tailing slurries at the JEB mill at McClean Lake, ferric sulfate may be added to the acid raffinates to assure that their molar Fe/As ratio equals or exceeds 3. Tailings slurries are then neutralized with lime to pH 4, and subsequently to pH 7–8. The neutralized tailings contain minerals from the original ore, which are chiefly quartz, illite, kaolinite and chlorite, and precipitated (secondary) minerals that include gypsum, scorodite, annabergite, hydrobasaluminite and ferrihydrite. Most of the As is associated with the secondary arsenate minerals, scorodite and annabergite. However, a few percent is adsorbed and/or co-precipitated, mainly by ferrihydrite. Of major concern to provincial and federal regulators is the risk that significant amounts of As might be released from the tailings to pore waters after their subaqueous disposal in the tailings management facility. A laboratory study was performed to address this issue, measuring readily desorbed As using a method known as equilibrium partitioning in closed systems (EPICS). The EPICS method was selected because it employs a leaching solution that, except for its As concentration, is identical in composition to the neutralized raffinate in contact with the tailings. Laboratory experiments and modeling results demonstrated that the As that could be readily released to pore waters is about 0.2% of the total As in the tailings. Long-term, such releases may contribute no more than a few mg/L of dissolved As to tailings pore waters.  相似文献   

Differentiating dilution and retention processes in mine effluent remediation within a natural wetland on the Zambian Copperbelt     

《Applied Geochemistry》2005,20(7):1241-1257

The use of wetlands to treat mine effluent has grown in popularity over the past two decades, although the processes by which the natural systems function are often poorly understood. This field-scale investigation utilises daily data over a 9-month period in assessing the processes leading to the remediation of mine effluent within a natural wetland on the Zambian Copperbelt. The study differentiates effluent remediation through dilution from pollutant retention. Decreased wetland outflow concentrations of SO₄ and Na are due to dilution only, while Co (50%) and especially Cu (83%) are retained within the wetland. Retention was linked to adsorption onto new or primed surfaces during an initial period of effluent release into the system and to processes related to pH buffering to 7.5. The wetland’s acid buffering capacity was largely the result of carbonate-rich groundwater discharge into the wetland. Although this buffering capacity likely shows little seasonal fluctuation (20–80 kmol/day), the impact of acidic effluent input on the wetland itself probably varies markedly between seasons, owing to the temporal and spatial characteristics of discharge from the catchment’s aquifers. Assessment of other natural wetlands in the region indicated that some (circa 15%) showed similar catchment size, hydrochemical and hydrogeological characteristics as those of the New Dam wetland, likely demonstrating a similar effluent remediation potential as that described here.  相似文献   

Assessment of human health impact from exposure to multiple air pollutants in China based on satellite observations     

《International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation》2016

Assessment of human health impact caused by air pollution is crucial for evaluating environmental hazards. In this paper, concentrations of six air pollutants (PM₁₀, PM_2.5, NO₂, SO₂, O₃, and CO) were first derived from satellite observations, and then the overall human health risks in China caused by multiple air pollutants were assessed using an aggregated health risks index. Unlike traditional approach for human health risks assessment, which relied on the in-situ air pollution measurements, the spatial distribution of aggregated human health risks in China were obtained using satellite observations in this research. It was indicated that the remote sensing data have advantages over in-situ data in accessing human health impact caused by air pollution.  相似文献

以“巷道-围岩”系统为研究对象,以水平应力卸荷操作模拟工程现场的巷道周边矿岩开挖卸荷作用,再现了巷道卸荷岩爆。实验结果指出,巷道卸荷岩爆经历了“平静期→小颗粒弹射→片状剥离→片状剥落”的演化过程,在巷道内壁产生“岩爆→应力调整→应力调整失败→再次岩爆”的多次岩爆过程,最终形成“V”字型岩爆坑。卸荷条件下,不同水平应力的巷道模型岩爆将产生不同的破坏,形成了不同的破裂面。理论推导得出卸荷前巷道围岩的应力分布规律,运用修正Griffith破坏准则,计算了不同水平应力（8.9MPa、13.3MPa、17.8MPa）卸荷后巷道围岩发生岩爆破坏的竖向起裂应力,构建了巷道边壁“V”字型岩爆坑的计算模型。研究得出水平应力存在一个影响竖向承载能力的应力点（13.3MPa）,当水平应力小于13.3MPa时,水平应力与竖向起裂应力呈正相关;当水平应力大于13.3MPa时,水平应力与竖向起裂应力呈负相关。对左右边壁应变能累积区域的信息进行量化处理,得出相较8.9MPa和17.8MPa,水平应力为13.3MPa的左右边帮应变能集中区域的累积能量最大,集中区域与边壁的距离最短。  相似文献   

Early Cambrian palaeobiogeography of the Zhenba–Fangxian Block (South China): Independent terrane or part of the Yangtze Platform?     

《Gondwana Research》2016,29(4):1543-1565

Early Cambrian small skeletal fossils (SSFs) are studied and revised from the Zhenba–Fangxian Block of the transitional zone between the Yangtze Block and the South Qinling Terrane. The study reveals a diverse fauna with 47 species of various biological affinities, including the new species Gapparodus gapparites sp. nov. The SSFs are assigned to the newly defined Cambroclavus fangxianensis–Rhombocorniculum cancellatum Assemblage Zone. Based on the investigated SSF fauna from Zhenba County, Southeast Shaanxi of China and published data, a palaeobiogeographic study is carried out for the Cambrian Stage 3 (equivalent to the Atdabanian–Botoman of Siberia). A hierarchical Pearson similarity cluster analysis of 295 species from 32 regions of the world indicates a distinct palaeobiogeographic pattern with seven faunal provinces. The result is mostly consistent with existing palaeogeographic reconstructions for the early Cambrian. However, it is also shown that the SSF assemblages of the Zhenba–Fangxian Block have low similarity with those of the Yangtze Block. Instead, they share high similarity with those from Armorica, Tarim and the Karatau–Naryn terranes (South Kazakhstan/North Kyrgyzstan). The Yangtze Block has a unique SSF assemblage dissimilar to most of other regions. The Terreneuvian–Cambrian Stage 3 sedimentary sequence of the Zhenba–Fangxian Block is more consistent with that of the South Qinling Terrane. Besides, sedimentary Ediacaran manganese ore deposits and Cambrian barite/witherite deposits have unique distribution pattern on the Zhenba–Fangxian Block. Derived from the profound dissimilarities in faunal composition, sedimentary sequence and distribution of sedimentary ore deposits, we hypothesize that during the Neoproterozoic–Cambrian transition, the Zhenba–Fangxian Block might have been an independent terrane and more distant from the Yangtze Block. The palaeobiogeographic analysis of SSFs also indicates a closer alliance between Avalonia and Siberia. It corroborates the palaeogeographic reconstruction of North China at the margin of Gondwana, in the vicinity of Australia, Antarctica, and Armorica.  相似文献
