Monitoring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the Northeast Aegean Sea using Posidonia oceanica seagrass and synthetic passive samplers     

《Marine pollution bulletin》2014,88(1-2):338-344

The concentrations of 22 polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in Posidonia oceanica seagrass, sediments, and seawater from the Alexandroupolis Gulf in the Aegean Sea, were investigated from 2007 to 2011. Temporal trends of total PAH contents in P. oceanica and sediments were similar. PAH levels in seawater, sediments, and seagrasses generally decreased with increasing distance from Alexandroupolis Port. Leaves and sheaths of P. oceanica had higher PAH levels than roots and rhizomes. P. oceanica accumulates PAHs and has good potential as a bioindicator of spatiotemporal pollution trends. PAH concentrations were also examined using in situ passive seawater sampling and were compared to results of passive sampling in the laboratory using local sediments and seawater. Levels of high molecular weight PAHs assessed using passive samplers confirmed the decreasing gradient of pollution away from Alexandroupolis Port. Passive sampling also proved useful for investigating sources of PAHs in P. oceanica meadows.  相似文献   

Series expansion of complex ground amplifications with a sequence of simple transfer functions          下载免费PDF全文

Hiroyuki Goto 《地震工程与结构动力学》2014,43(13):1975-1997

Amplification of earthquake ground motions at actual deposit sites is an important factor to consider when assessing the risk of an earthquake disaster. In order to identify the amplification properties, several preprocessings such as the Fourier transform are required. I propose a series expansion of the amplification with simple ground transfer functions as a new preprocessing. I define a sequence of transfer functions based on a two‐layered structure excluding an internal damping and a function space spanned by the set of the functions. I mathematically prove that the function space is equal to L² space. This indicates that all the functions belonging to L² space, that is, an arbitrary ground amplification, have a unique series expansion. This expansion is applied to the physics‐based decomposition of the amplification. Some numerical examples indicate that the similarity between a target complex structure and a simple model is measured by the absolute value of each coefficient in the series expansion.

Solution of dynamic Green׳s function for unsaturated soil under internal excitation     

《Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering》2014

The closed form three-dimensional Green׳s function of a semi-infinite unsaturated poroelastic medium subjected to an arbitrary internal harmonic loading is derived, with consideration of capillary pressure and dynamic shear modulus varying with saturation. By applying the Fourier expansion techniques and Hankel integral transforms to the circumferential and radial coordinates, respectively, the general solution for the governing partial differential equations is obtained in the transformed domain. A corresponding boundary value problem is formulated. The integral solutions for the induced displacements, pore pressure and net stress are then determined considering the continuity conditions. The formulas are compared with the degenerated solution of saturated soils and confirmed. Numerical results reveal that the response of the unsaturated half-space depends significantly on the saturation by altering dynamic shear modulus to account for the effects of matric suction on soil stiffness. Slight differences between the results occur if only the saturation is taken into account. Moreover, a large source-depth results in a pronounced contribution to the reduction of surface displacement amplitudes. The analytical solutions concluded in the study offer a broader application to dynamic response associated with axi-symmetric and asymmetric conditions.  相似文献   

Sampling efficiency in Monte Carlo based uncertainty propagation strategies: Application in seawater intrusion simulations     

《Advances in water resources》2014

The implementation of Monte Carlo simulations (MCSs) for the propagation of uncertainty in real-world seawater intrusion (SWI) numerical models often becomes computationally prohibitive due to the large number of deterministic solves needed to achieve an acceptable level of accuracy. Previous studies have mostly relied on parallelization and grid computing to decrease the computational time of MCSs. However, another approach which has received less attention in the literature is to decrease the number of deterministic simulations by using more efficient sampling strategies. Sampling efficiency is a measure of the optimality of a sampling strategy. A more efficient sampling strategy requires fewer simulations and less computational time to reach a certain level of accuracy. The efficiency of a sampling strategy is highly related to its space-filling characteristics.This paper illustrates that the use of optimized Latin hypercube sampling (OLHS) strategies instead of the widely employed simple random sampling (SRS) and Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) strategies, can significantly improve sampling efficiency and hence decrease the simulation time of MCSs. Nine OLHS strategies are evaluated including: improved Latin hypercube sampling (IHS); optimum Latin hypercube (OLH) sampling; genetic optimum Latin hypercube (GOLH) sampling; three sampling strategies based on the enhanced stochastic evolutionary (ESE) algorithm namely φ_p-ESE which employs the φ_p space-filling criterion, CLD-ESE which utilizes the centered L₂-discrepancy (CLD) space-filling criterion, and SLD-ESE which uses the star L₂-discrepancy (SLD) space-filling criterion; and three sampling strategies based on the simulated annealing (SA) algorithm namely φ_p-SA which employs the φ_p criterion, CLD-SA which uses the CLD criterion, and SLD-SA which utilizes the SLD criterion. The study applies SRS, LHS and the nine OLHS strategies to MCSs of two synthetic test cases of SWI. The two test cases are the Henry problem and a two-dimensional radial representation of SWI in a circular island. The comparison demonstrates that the CLD-ESE strategy is the most efficient among the evaluated strategies. This paper also demonstrates how the space-filling characteristics of different OLHS designs change with variations in the input arguments of their optimization algorithms.  相似文献

利用云南及其邻区59个宽频地震台站记录到的30°~100°远震资料,采用P波接收函数方法对云南地区的地壳厚度和地壳平均泊松比分布进行分析。研究结果显示:用H-k扫描和人工读取震相到时两种方法得到的云南地区地壳厚度和泊松比分布情况较为吻合。研究区域内Moho面埋深南浅北深,横向变化达30~40 km。在川滇菱形块体东南缘,地壳厚度等值线呈东南向舌状突出。泊松比呈块体分布特征,断裂两侧差异显著。高泊松比的分布主要集中在滇缅泰块体内和研究区域北部以及小江断裂附近,这与该区处于印度板块与欧亚板块碰撞俯冲前缘的特殊地理位置有关。  相似文献

2011年8月至2013年7月中国地震局地球物理研究所与蒙古科学院天文与地球物理研究中心在蒙古中南部区域布设了宽频带流动地震台阵,这为开展远东地区深部结构的精细探测提供了有利的数据基础.利用台阵记录的远震地震事件,采用P波接收函数的H-κ叠加分析和共转换点（CCP）叠加方法获得了台站下方的地壳厚度及平均波速比.结果显示研究区的地壳厚度介于39 km至45 km之间.整体上Moho面埋深从西北往东南方向逐渐变浅.在蒙古主线性构造两侧地壳厚度呈现区域性变化特征,东南部地区地壳厚度较薄,约为39 km,而西北部地区地壳较厚,达45 km,为此推测蒙古主构造线可能是地壳的一个陡变带.此外,研究地区地壳的平均波速比值（V_P/V_S）在1.70到1.79之间,均值为1.75,低于全球大陆的平均值1.78,这可能暗示着该区其地壳是缺少铁镁质的.研究还发现测线的西北与东南地区其地壳波速比值较高,推测是古生代铁镁质地壳的残留或是新生代岩浆底侵的反映.  相似文献   

断层厚度的地震效应和非对称地震矩张量   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1       下载免费PDF全文

刘超  陈运泰 《地球物理学报》2014,57(2):509-517

本文导出了具有厚度和滑动弱化区域的断层的非对称地震矩张量表示式,指出要求地震矩张量具有对称性不是一个绝对必要的限制.在非对称地震矩张量中,位错项对应于对称地震矩张量,拉力项对应于非对称地震矩张量.由于拉力项等效于单力偶,所以在非对称地震矩张量解的两个节面上,沿滑动矢量方向的力偶强度不再相同,与较大力偶相联系的节面为断层面,与较小力偶相联系的节面为辅助面.这一性质可用以从两个正交的节面中判断哪一个节面是断层面.如果忽略拉力项,会高估与位错对应的标量地震矩.只有满足相应的约束条件的非对称地震矩张量才能表示具有厚度和滑动弱化区域的断层模型,并从中分离出与位错和拉力对应的地震矩张量.  相似文献

MRS方法三维含水体的核磁共振正演计算涉及两个难点：①激发场表达式的快速计算,该表达式为包含双重Bessel函数乘积的积分式,将该表达式分为两个积分区间,第一积分区间应用贝塞尔函数的汉克尔函数表述式及其大宗量渐近特性,将其转化为Fourier正（余）弦变换,采用快速计算方法实现数值计算;另一积分区间的计算直接应用一般的数值积分算法即能获得较高的计算精度。②三维含水体的空间离散化,提供柱坐标和直角坐标中的两种离散方法,可对任意形状的三维含水体进行构建。在此基础上,开发出相应的正演程序,并进行几种常见的三维含水体的MRS正演,对其初始振幅曲线进行规律总结。结果表明,三维含水体的MRS振幅响应与层状含水层振幅响应类似,使用收发共圈的工作模式将难以辨别地下含水体的空间形态。  相似文献
