Fractal Reconstruction with Unorganized Geochemical Data     

Li Changjiang  Zhao Nailiang  Ma Tuhua 《Mathematical Geology》2002,34(7):809-829

Fractal geometry is receiving increased attention as a model for many natural phenomena. In this paper, we address two issues in dealing with unorganized 3-D measured data using fractal geometry: extraction of fractal characters and fractal surface (geochemical landscapes) reconstruction. We start from a set of randomly measured 3-D data on a plane. After classification and concentration of the input data, we present methods for estimating the fractal dimension and texture deviation as fractal characters, and then an improved subdivision scheme is developed to reconstruct fractal surface on the basis of the extracted fractal characters. We demonstrate both characterization and reconstruction with irregularly measured geochemical data from 1767 stream sediment samples in the middle district (450km² in area) of Zhejiang, China.  相似文献   

Elemental δ13C at Allen's Cave,Nullarbor Plain,Australia: assessing post‐depositional disturbance and reconstructing past environments     

C. S. M. Turney  M. I. Bird  R. G. Roberts 《第四纪科学杂志》2001,16(8):779-784

The degree to which post‐depositional disturbance can be assessed in archaeological sequences is critical for the development of robust chronologies for such deposits. A common approach is the identification of conjoined artefacts distributed through the sequence as a measure of disturbance following deposition, although this method is relatively labour intensive and does not provide a continuous record of disturbance through the entire sequence. Here we present δ¹³C values for different size fractions (<125 and >125 µm) of chemically resistant charcoal distributed through a sedimentary profile at Allen's Cave, South Australia. The curves generated from both size fractions parallel one another, indicating minimal disturbance through the entire profile and providing greater confidence in the luminescence and radiocarbon chronologies reported previously for the site. In addition, the elemental δ¹³C values provide an indication of greater aridity (compared with present) persisting in this area from ca. 45 to 12 ka, consistent with other proxy records. The onset of the Holocene is marked by a shift to wetter conditions, probably as a result of post‐glacial marine transgression and closer proximity to the coastline.

Climatic significance of δ <Superscript>18</Superscript>O records from an 80.36 m ice core in the East Rongbuk Glacier,Mount Qomolangma (Everest)     

Zhang?Dongqi?Email author  Qin?Dahe  Hou?Shugui  Kang?Shichang  Ren?Jiawen  Paul?A?Mayewski 《中国科学D辑(英文版)》2005,48(2):266-272

The δ ¹⁸O variations in an 80.36 m ice core retrieved in the accumulation zone of the East Rongbuk Glacier, Mount Qomolangma (Everest), is not consistent with changes of air temperature from both southern and northern slopes of Himalayas, as well as these of the temperature anomalies over the Northern Hemisphere. The negative relationship between the δ ¹⁸O and the net accumulation records of the ice core suggests the “amount effect” of summer precipitation on the δ ¹⁸O values in the region. Therefore, the δ ¹⁸O records of the East Rongbuk ice core should be a proxy of Indian Summer Monsoon intensity, which shows lower δ ¹⁸O values during strong monsoon phases and higher values during weak phases.  相似文献   

Relationships Between Fundamental Seismic Hazard Parameters for the Different Source Regions in Turkey     

Yusuf?BayrakEmail author  Ahmet?Yilmaztürk  Serkan??ztürk 《Natural Hazards》2005,36(3):445-462

Turkey has been divided into eight different seismic regions taking into consideration the tectonic environments and epicenters of the earthquakes to examine relationships of the modal values (a/b), the expected maximum magnitudes (M_max) and the maximum intensities (I_max). For this purpose, the earthquakes for the time period 1900–1992 from the Global Hypocenter Data Base CD-ROM prepared by USGS, and for the time period 1993–2001 from the PDE data and IRIS data are used. Concerning the relationships developed between different magnitude scales and between surface wave magnitudes (M_S) and intensity for different source regions in Turkey, we have constructed a uniform catalog of M_S. We have estimated the values of M_max and I_max using the Gumbel III asymptotic distribution. Highest a-values are observed in the Aegean region and the lowest b-values are estimated for the North Anatolian Fault. Maximum values of a/b, M_max and I_max are related to the eastern and western part of the North Anatolian Fault and the Aegean Arc. The lowest values of all parameters are observed near the Mid Anatolian Fault system. Linear relationships have been calculated between a/b, M_max and I_max using orthogonal regression. If one of the three parameters is computed, two other parameters can be calculated empirically using these linear relationships. Hazard maps of M_max and I_max values are produced using these relationships for a grid of equally spaced points at 1°. It is observed that the maps produced empirically may be used as a measure of seismic hazard in Turkey.  相似文献   

Quantitative estimates of recent environmental changes in the Canadian High Arctic inferred from diatoms in lake and pond sediments   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

Antoniades  Dermot  Douglas  Marianne S. V.  Smol  John P. 《Journal of Paleolimnology》2005,33(3):349-360

Diatoms were examined in three lacustrine sediment records from Alert, northern Ellesmere Island, and from Isachsen, Ellef Ringnes Island. Diatom assemblages changed markedly since the mid-19th century following relatively stable community composition that spanned centuries to millennia. Three different assemblages, primarily composed of Fragilaria pinnata, Diadesmis spp., or Pinnularia spp., dominated the pre-1850 period at the three sites, but were replaced with different, more diverse assemblages in recent sediments. These species shifts occurred in the mid- to late-19th century in the Isachsen sites, and in the mid- to late-20th century in our Alert site. This difference in timing appears to be a result of the different sensitivities of lakes and ponds to environmental change, rather than of site-specific chemical properties. Reconstructions of pH using diatom inference models indicated increases from 0.5 to 0.8 pH units at these sites over this period of assemblage change. The diatom-inferred pH record from Alert showed agreement with measured climate data from Alert over the last 30 years. These marked community changes suggest that these sensitive high arctic sites have recently crossed important ecological thresholds due to environmental change, most likely related to recent warming.  相似文献   

Aqueous Oxidation of Sulfur(IV) Catalyzed by Manganese(II): A Generalized Simple Kinetic Model     

Boštjan Podkrajšek  Gorazd Berčič  Janja Turšič  Irena Grgić 《Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry》2004,47(3):287-303

The reaction kinetics of S(IV) autoxidation catalyzed by Mn(II) in the pH range 3–5 typical for atmospheric liquid water, was investigated. For reactions with pH maintained constant during the reaction course, the predictions obtained by a simple integral approach cover kinetic results only for concentrations of HSO ₃ ⁻ up to 0.2 mM at pH 4.5. Thus, a generalized simple kinetic model, which can be used for predicting the reaction kinetics in wider concentration, pH and temperature ranges, was derived. This model is based on the assumption that the reaction rate is proportional to the concentration of a transient manganese-sulfito complex formed in the initial step of a radical chain mechanism. In the proposed power law rate equation the concentration of complex is calculated from the stability constant K and concentrations of reactants at a specific reaction time. This rate equation adequately predicts the reaction kinetics in the pH range 3–5, in the concentration ranges 0.1 ≤ [HSO ₃ ⁻ ] ≤ 0.4 mM and 2 ≤ [Mn(II)] ≤ 14.6 μM. For the temperature range 15–35 °C, the estimated value for activation energy is 92.0 ± 0.1 kJ mol⁻¹ and the Gibbs free energy of formation of the manganese-sulfito complex is −20.4 ± 0.3 kJ mol⁻¹. Furthermore, the kinetics for catalytic reactions with pH maintained constant during the reaction course as well as with initial pH adjusted only at the start of the reaction, is described satisfactorily by the present model.  相似文献   

Species Composition and Seasonal Variations of the Gastropoda in Upper Sakarya River System (Turkey) in Relation to Water Quality     

Yeim abuk  Naime Arslan  Veysel Y&#x;lmaz 《洁净——土壤、空气、水》2004,32(6):393-400

Species composition, abundance, and seasonal distribution of the Gastropoda fauna and the physical and chemical variables of Upper Sakarya River System have been investigated between October 1998 and August 1999. Gastropod fauna in the Upper Sakarya River System was represented by 9 species of Prosobranchia and 7 species of Pulmonata. Diversity, dominance, and abundance of the Gastropoda species were recorded seasonally. The abundance of some of the 16 species was correlated positively with temperature, dissolved oxygen and negatively or positively with pH and nitrate. It was observed that Gyraulus albus (Müller, 1774), Physa acuta Draparnaud, 1805, Valvata pulchella Studer, 1820, and Oxyloma elegans (Risso, 1826) can tolerate a high level of NO‐N while V. piscinalis (Müller, 1774) spread out in unpolluted water. Although the species and their numbers change at the stations, the maximum numbers were found during autumn, while minimums were identified during the winter sampling. Gyraulus albus was the most widespread species in our research area. Only 5 species (Gyraulus albus, Physa acuta, Valvata cristata (Muller, 1774), Valvata pulchella, Melanopsis praemorsa costata (Olivier, 1804)) were determined each season. However, no Gastropoda were found at the station 3 that has high BOD, NO‐N, NO‐N, and NH₃ levels.  相似文献
