Microtextural analysis of a glacially ‘deformed’ bedrock: implications for inheritance of preferred clast orientations in diamictons     

Emrys Phillips  Clive Auton 《第四纪科学杂志》2008,23(3):229-240

Although analysis of clast macrofabrics has been used to differentiate between different types of glacial diamictons and to determine palaeo‐ice flow directions, no account appears to have been made of preferred clast orientations inherited from the parental source material. Clast macrofabrics in tills are typically interpreted as having developed in response to an imposed subglacial deformation and as such provide a link between the sedimentary record and glacier dynamics. They rely on the assumption that any preferred clast orientation is a result of deformation/flow. The results of the micromorphological study of the Langholm Till exposed at North Corbelly near Dumfries (southwestern Scotland) clearly demonstrate that bedrock structure can influence clast orientation (macrofabric) within diamictons. In the lower part of the till, the orientation of elongate clasts preserves the geometry of the tectonic cleavage present within the underlying bedrock. The intensity of this steeply inclined, ‘inherited’ clast fabric decreases upward through the till, to be replaced by a more complex pattern of successive generations of clast microfabrics developed in response to deformation/flow. These results indicate potential limitations of applying clast macrofabric or microfabric analysis in isolation to establish till genesis or palaeo ice‐flow directions. Consequently, due account should be made of other glacial palaeo‐environmental and ice flow indicators, as well as rockhead depth and morphology in relation to the selection of fabric measurements sites. © British Geological Survey/Natural Environment Research Council copyright 2007.

Shapes and Pole Orientations of Asteroids (360) Carlova and (209) Dido     

Xi-Liang Zhang  Li-Yun Zhang  Jun Xu 《Earth, Moon, and Planets》2007,101(3-4):189-194

Several light-curves of asteroid (360) Carlova and (209) Dido in different epochs were analyzed to determine shapes and pole orientations by means of AM-method and least squares method. New values of a/b, b/c, λ _p and β _p for asteroid (360) Carlova were obtained, which are 1.52°, 1.5°, 120 ± 6° and 66 ± 7°, respectively. We report a first determination of the parameters of (209) Dido which are 1.3°, 1.1°, 221 ± 6° and 37 ± 3°, respectively.  相似文献

Behavioural adaptations in talitrids from two Atlantic beaches     

Claudia Rossano  Simone Gambineri  Lucia Fanini  Virginie Durier  Colette Rivault  Felicita Scapini 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2009

The aim of the present study was to test sun orientation and rhythmic activity of two sandhopper populations from two Atlantic macro-tidal beaches. A population from Le Verger beach (orientated to 346°, Ille et Vilaine, Brittany, France) and a population from Damgan (orientated to 195°, Morbihan, Brittany, France), were tested on the beach under clear sky discriminating for landscape vision. For both populations locomotor activity rhythm was recorded in the laboratory. The two beaches differed for climatic features, tidal range and for human use. Both talitrid populations resulted very well orientated toward the shoreline, and both used solar position and landscape vision to orient. However the multiple regression analysis of orientation with climatic features showed a different use of local cues by the two populations and a slight influence of tidal regime (ebbing and rising tide), in spite of the supralittoral zonation of sandhoppers. In the laboratory they showed a well defined rhythmic behaviour as well as a bimodal rhythmicity, explained as a tidal one. These results are a new brick in the complex picture of orientation and rhythm studies on sandy beach invertebrates.  相似文献   

地图综合中建筑物方向的计算方法及适用性分析     

ZHANG Yan  邓敏  LI Zhi-lin 《地理信息世界》2008,6(2):58-64

建筑物的方向是地图综合过程中的一个基本约束,目前仍没有一个计算建筑物方向的统一方法.本文详细阐述了五种常用的计算方法,分别为最长边法、加权平分线法、统计加权法、最小MBR法和基于墙的均值法.并从其基本原理出发,分析了这五种方法的适用性和局限性.通过两个实验设计和实现,进一步例证了这些方法的适用情况和存在的问题,并发现最小MBR方法较为稳健.  相似文献

高校GIS教学是近年来国内探讨的热点教学问题之一,涉及到GIS专业课程体系设置、教学内容设置、实践环节设置、教学体制改革等多个方面;但这些探讨主要是针对GIS专业学士学位与硕士学位教学而引发的,较少关注非GIS专业学位的GIS教学问题.本文通过分析清华大学GIS教学发展与现状,结合作者在GIS教学中的探索与实践,从教学平台、教学内容、授课形式、考试方式、教学效果等几个方面,讨论如何开展针对非GIS专业、面向应用的高校GIS教学模式,与全国高校GIS教育工作者共勉.  相似文献   

Orientation of Galaxies in the Local Supercluster: A Review     

F. X. Hu  G. X. Wu  G. X. Song  Q. R. Yuan  S. Okamura 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2006,302(1-4):43-59

The progress of the studies on the orientation of galaxies in the Local Supercluster (LSC) is reviewed and a summary of recent results is given. Following a brief introduction of the LSC, we describe the results of early studies based on two-dimensional analysis, which were mostly not conclusive. We describe next the three-dimensional analysis, which is used widely today. Difficulties and systematic effects are explained and the importance of selection effects is described. Then, results based on the new method and modern databases are given, which are summarized as follows. When the LSC is seen as a whole, galaxy planes tend to align perpendicular to the LSC plane with lenticulars showing the most pronounced tendency. Projections onto the LSC plane of the spin vectors of Virgo cluster member galaxies, and to some extent, those of the total LSC galaxies, tend to point to the Virgo cluster center. This tendency is more pronounced for lenticulars than for spirals. It is suggested that ‘field’ galaxies, i.e., those which do not belong to groups with more than three members, may be better objects than other galaxies to probe the information at the early epoch of the LSC formation through the analysis of galaxy orientations. Field lenticulars show a pronounced anisotropic distribution of spin vectors in the sense that they lay their spin vectors parallel to the LSC plane while field spirals show an isotropic spin-vector distribution.  相似文献
