Resource partitioning by two large planktivorous fishes Micromesistius australis and Macruronus magellanicus in the Southwest Atlantic     

Paul Brickle  Alexander I. ArkhipkinVladimir Laptikhovsky  Andrew StocksAlison Taylor 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2009

The ontogenetic, seasonal, bathymetric and regional variations in the feeding spectrum of 922 specimens of southern blue whiting Micromesistius australis and 512 specimens of hoki Macruronus magellanicus were studied on the Falkland Islands’ shelf (Southwest Atlantic) between November 1999 and April 2003. A total of 49 different prey items were found in the stomach contents of the two species, with the hyperiid Themisto gaudichaudii and Euphausiacea being amongst the most important prey. Although the species composition did not change over fish size, the proportions of individual prey items in their diets did, with an increase in T. gaudichaudii and Euphausiacea with increasing fish size in southern blue whiting. The opposite occurred in hoki. Seasonal variations in the diet were found to mirror the seasonal abundance of prey around the Falkland Islands for the two species. Intra-specific differences in the diet of both predators reflected the distribution of prey, which in turn was determined by the water structure in the two regions sampled, leading to very different diets. In the limited time that the two species occupied the same space there was little or no competition resulting in almost total segregation of their trophic niches in space and time.  相似文献   

基于线段的基本线/线拓扑关系计算     

倪建华  周晓光  胡克新 《测绘软科学研究》2009,(5):39-43

空间拓扑关系是空间数据建模、空间查询、分析、推理、制图综合、数据质量控制、数据更新等的基础。目前空间拓扑关系研究的主要成果仍然集中在拓扑关系的描述方面,在计算方面的阐述都非常薄弱,不足以指导系统开发人员编程实现。本文研究了IR2中两个简单线目标间拓扑关系的计算方法,重点分析了线/线拓扑关系计算的特点,提出了一种基于线段的线/线拓扑关系计算方法,并用VC＋＋采用底层开发模式实现了基本线/线拓扑关系的计算。  相似文献   

Description of deformation process in inherently anisotropic granular materials     

S. Pietruszczak  P. Guo 《国际地质力学数值与分析法杂志》2013,37(5):478-490

The main focus in this work is on modeling of mechanical response of granular materials that display inherent anisotropy. Both the experimental and numerical investigations are described. First, the results of direct shear as well as drained/undrained triaxial tests that involve crushed limestone with elongated angular‐shaped particles are reviewed. Afterward, a mathematical framework is presented for modeling of elastic/ inelastic deformation that incorporates the multi‐laminate approach. The deformation is monitored on a set of randomly oriented planes, and the formulation incorporates the thickness of the shear band that is associated with sliding/separation process. A systematic procedure for identification of material functions/ parameters is outlined that is based on the results of direct shear tests, and the framework is later applied to simulate the behavior under triaxial conditions. The results of numerical simulations are compared with the experimental data. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Seismic hazard assessment using intensity point data     

G. Monachesi  L. Peruzza  D. Slejko  M. Stucchi 《Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering》1994,13(3)

The influence of the attenuation model used in seismic hazard assessment in terms of intensity and acceleration is studied. For two sites in central Italy, the catalogue of the actual observed intensities during the last three centuries has been recovered. In the study region, the data collected during a recent seismic sequence give the basis for relating intensity and acceleration. The results show the importance of establishing statistical relationships among the used quantities, based on a representative set of data.  相似文献

陕西略阳煎茶岭镍矿床成矿及矿石变质过程的地球化学研究     

Zhang Benren Chen Dexing Hu Yikeng 《地球科学》1986,(4)

矿床中存在着岩浆离熔成因的磁黄铁矿-镍黄铁矿矿石和热液改造成因的黄铁矿-针镍矿-辉镍矿矿石。研究证明现在矿石中存在的硫化物均为较低温度条件下的变质产物,并且矿物组合的更替不仅同温度变化有关,同时还受体系中氧逸度和硫离子活度的控制。矿物组合的地球化学分析表明,现有Fe-Ni-S体系低温（<300℃）相平衡图解之间存在着矛盾的原因可能是忽略了氧化-还原条件的影响。  相似文献

Results from the Big Spring basin water quality monitoring and demonstration projects,Iowa, USA     

Robert D. Rowden  Huaibao Liu  Robert D. Libra 《Hydrogeology Journal》2001,9(5):487-497

Agricultural practices, hydrology, and water quality of the 267-km² Big Spring groundwater drainage basin in Clayton County, Iowa, have been monitored since 1981. Land use is agricultural; nitrate-nitrogen (-N) and herbicides are the resulting contaminants in groundwater and surface water. Ordovician Galena Group carbonate rocks comprise the main aquifer in the basin. Recharge to this karstic aquifer is by infiltration, augmented by sinkhole-captured runoff. Groundwater is discharged at Big Spring, where quantity and quality of the discharge are monitored. Monitoring has shown a threefold increase in groundwater nitrate-N concentrations from the 1960s to the early 1980s. The nitrate-N discharged from the basin typically is equivalent to over one-third of the nitrogen fertilizer applied, with larger losses during wetter years. Atrazine is present in groundwater all year; however, contaminant concentrations in the groundwater respond directly to recharge events, and unique chemical signatures of infiltration versus runoff recharge are detectable in the discharge from Big Spring. Education and demonstration efforts have reduced nitrogen fertilizer application rates by one-third since 1981. Relating declines in nitrate and pesticide concentrations to inputs of nitrogen fertilizer and pesticides at Big Spring is problematic. Annual recharge has varied five-fold during monitoring, overshadowing any water-quality improvements resulting from incrementally decreased inputs. Electronic Publication  相似文献   

Influence of source region properties on scaling relations forM<0 events     

T. I. Urbancic  B. Feignier  R. P. Young 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1992,139(3-4):721-739

Excavation induced seismic events with moment magnitudesM<0 are examined in an attempt to determine the role geology, excavation geometry, and stress have on scaling relations. Correlations are established based on accurate measurements of excavation geometry and methodology, stress regime, rock mass structure, local tectonics, and seismic locations. Scaling relations incorporated seismic moments and source radii obtained by spectral analysis, accounting for source, propagation, and site effects, and using Madariaga's dynamic circular fault model. Observations suggest that the interaction of stresses with pre-existing fractures, fracture complexity and depth of events are the main factors influencing source characteristics and scaling behaviour. Self-similar relationships were found for events at similar depths or for weakly structured rock masses with reduced clamping stresses, whereas a non-similar behaviour was found for events with increasing depth or for heavily fractured zones under stress confinement. Additionally, the scaling behaviour for combined data sets tended to mask the non-similar trends. Overall, depth and fracture complexity, initially thought as second order effects, appear to significantly influence source characteristics of seismic events withM<0 and consequently favour a non-similar earthquake generation process.  相似文献
