A versatile ground data display system for spacelab experiments     

Dan Werthimer  Beth Keer  Michael Lampton 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1983,95(1):21-36

We describe a microprocessor-based data capture and display system suited to the needs of many Spacelab experimenters. Although developed specifically for the needs of the FAUST ultraviolet astronomy telescope, several features of the system may make it attractive to other groups who need to interact with their Spacelab data in real or near-real time. The display system captures data from the serial data stream originating in the Spacelab experiment computer input/output (ECIO) data channel, and can reformat and display several hundred variables per second in real time. The system offers a combination of Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) display and analog paper strip-chart output. A facility is also provided for simultaneously creating floppy-disk records of short segments of data according to prearranged criteria, to allow detailed examination of critical events in the operation of the experiment. The simplicity, economy, reliability, and flexibility of the display system suggest its use for monitoring a variety of low- and medium-data-rate Spacelab experiments.  相似文献   

Defect properties of albite     

Stephan Lowitzer  Dan J. Wilson  Björn Winkler  Victor Milman  Julian D. Gale 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2008,35(3):129-135

Knowledge of the defect properties of Lunar and Mercurian minerals has recently become important, with the advent of models which attempt to explain the formation of the thin exosphere of these celestial bodies. Here, we have calculated the formation energies of sodium and oxygen vacancies in the mineral albite (NaAlSi₃O₈), as well as the Schottky defect energy for the removal of a Na₂O unit. We have employed both the supercell and Mott–Littleton approaches, using Kohn–Sham density functional theory and classical interatomic potential methods. As well as reporting the defect energies and structures, we comment upon the relative merits of the methods used.  相似文献   

浙西南淡竹花岗闪长岩中锆石的成因研究及其地质意义   总被引：11，自引：0，他引：11  

汪相  陈洁  罗丹 《地质论评》2008,54(3):387-398

本文对浙西南地区淡竹花岗闪长岩中的锆石群进行了形态学、地球化学和年代学的系统研究。研究结果表明, 该花岗闪长岩中存在两种不同类型的锆石: 岩浆锆石和变质锆石。前者为自形—半自形的长柱状晶体, 无色透明, 富含岩浆和矿物包裹体, 其背散射电子图像 (BSE图像) 显示出均匀的内部构造 (少数具有韵律环带构造), 其晶型指数落在钙碱性系列花岗闪长岩的范围内; 后者大多数以增生边的形式围绕岩浆锆石生长, 极少量呈他形的粒状晶体, 呈黄褐色—半透明, 其BSE图像亦呈现均匀的内部构造。这两类锆石在化学成分上有较大的差异, 表现为岩浆锆石比变质锆石明显地富U、Th、Y等阳离子置换元素。锆石LAICPMS UPb定年分析结果表明, 岩浆锆石和变质锆石分别形成于1875±33 Ma和209±12 Ma两个不同的时代, 为浙闽运动和印支运动在浙西南地区的表现提供了有力的客观证据。  相似文献

自1996年江苏省实施“海上苏东”战略以来,南通市海洋经济以年均16%以上的增长率迅速发展,至2004年,全市海洋经济总产值达到226亿元,海洋经济已成为南通市国民经济发展的一条亮丽的风景线。然而,当前全市海洋经济占比达43.6%的海洋渔业经济遭受了极大挑战。2004年,南通市海洋渔业两大主导产品——条斑紫菜与文蛤同期发生重大病灾,造成经济损失1亿余元。群发性上访等事件给整个社会带来了诸多不稳定因素,海洋渔业经济的管理也陷入了被动应付的困境。引发紫菜与文蛤重大病灾的因子较多,海洋生态环境恶化是其中一个极为重要的因素。面对海洋渔…  相似文献   

Preliminary study on different nutrient pools supplies for the phytoplankton growth in the Jiaozhou Bay in China in the fall of 2004     

WANG Dan  SUN Jun  SONG Shuqun  LUAN Qingshan  Joey McMurdie 《海洋学报(英文版)》2007,26(3):110-120

The source and significance of two nutrients, nitrogen and phosphorous, were investigated by a modified dilution method performed on seawater samples from the Jiaozhou Bay, in autumn 2004. This modified dilution method accounted for the phytoplankton growth rate, microzooplankton grazing mortality rate, the internal and external nutrient pools, as well as nutrient supplied through remineralization by microzooplankton. The results indicated that the phytoplankton net growth rate increased in turn from inside the bay, to outside the bay, to in the Xiaogang Harbor. The phytoplankton maximum growth rates and microzooplankton grazing mortality rates were 1.14 and 0.92 d-1 outside the bay, 0.42 and 0.32 d-1 inside the bay and 0.98 and 0.62 d-1 in the harbor respectively. Outside the bay, the remineralized nitrogen (Kr=24.49) had heavy influence on the growth of the phytoplankton. Inside the bay, the remineralized phosphorus(Kr=3.49) strongly affected the phytoplankton growth. In the harbor, the remineralized phosphorus (Kr=3.73) was in larger demand by phytoplankton growth. The results demonstrated that the different nutrients pools supplied for phytoplankton growth were greatly in accordance with the phytoplankton community structure, microzooplankton grazing mortality rates and environmental conditions. It is revealed that nutrient remineralization is much more important for the phytoplankton growth in the Jiaozhou Bay than previously believed.  相似文献   

Recruitment patterns of Serpula vermicularis L. (Polychaeta, Serpulidae) in Loch Creran, Scotland   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

This study aimed to contribute to conservation management of reefs of Serpula vermicularis by increasing understanding of the factors influencing larval settlement. The study was carried out in Loch Creran, which supports the most extensive known development of S. vermicularis reefs in the world. Settlement plates were deployed to examine the influence of season, depth, reef density, substrate type and orientation. Monthly deployment of plates revealed settlement of S. vermicularis to occur predominantly from mid-June to mid-October, peaking in late August to early September. Settlement of Pomatoceros spp. peaked much earlier, in late May to early June. Deployment of plates at different depths revealed a marked reduction in S. vermicularis settlement intensity between 6 and 12 m. As this corresponds with the deeper limit of the peripheral fringe of serpulid reefs in the loch, it is suggested that this limit is imposed by a depth-correlated settlement response, rather than reduction in available substrata. Comparisons of various substrata showed a preference by S. vermicularis larvae for a slate over a scallop substrate and no evidence of enhanced recruitment to occupied or unoccupied tubes of S. vermicularis, suggesting that gregarious attraction is unlikely to be a factor causing reef formation. Settlement onto the upper side of a horizontal scallop substrate was found to be insignificant in comparison with the underside or a vertically orientated scallop. Evidence for the role of light in controlling the depth and substrate-orientation preferences of S. vermicularis larvae is discussed. Based on the results of this study, recommendations are made regarding remediation of areas suffering reef damage.  相似文献   

南海现代沉积物中正构烷烃碳分子组合特征及其指示意义   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5

利用1998年6~9月南海海洋环境调查及1987年SO-50中德联合调查中所取得的资料,对南海沉积物中正构烷烃碳分子组合特征进行分析和研究,并将南海与渤海、黄海、东海现代沉积过程中的正构烷烃碳分子组合特征进行对比,结果表明:(1)南海北部沉积物中正构烷烃碳分子分布范围为nC15~nC33,双峰群,居前的低碳数主峰碳为nC19~nC22,居后的高碳数主峰碳为nC27,nC24以后奇碳的优势明显,OEP为2.13,nC23-/nC24 值平均为1.53,沉积物中陆源输入居多;南海南部沉积物中正构烷烃碳分子分布范围为nC15~nC33,呈双峰群,居前的低碳数峰群以nC19~nC23为主峰碳,居后的高碳数峰群以nC27或nC29为主峰碳,OEP为1.58,nC23-/nC24 值平均为2.15,沉积物中海洋生物来源居多。南海沉积物中正构烷烃碳分子为海洋和陆源两种有机质来源。(2)南海南部处于典型热带海洋环境,生物生产力较高,大量硅质、钙质生物在海域繁殖,生物效应降低了陆源物质的丰度。物源效应和生物效应的差异是南海南、北部现代沉积物的碳分子组合分布变化的主要原因。(3)南海现代沉积物各站位沉积物中正构烷烃的P r/Ph值基本小于1,说明沉积物沉积时为缺氧还原的沉积环境,但局部海域沉积环境具有较强的氧化性,沉积物在沉积过程中一定程度上受到涌升的南极底层水的影响。(4)南海与东海、黄海、渤海不同海域沉积物中正构烷烃碳分子组合特征对比可知,各海域沉积物均显示出物源效应。  相似文献

黄土中存在着大量的碱金属及碱土金属，以往的测试方法多为原子吸收和ICP—MS，离子色谱法在测试黄土样品的碱金属和碱土金属元素含量中应用不多。将黄土地质标准样品进行消解后用离子色谱进行测试，测试效果良好，重复测试的相对标准偏差小于5％，与推荐值的相对误差小于5％，准确度和精密度符舍相关的质量控制要求。本实验方法测试的离子含量都在仪器响应呈线性的最佳测试范围之内，标准曲线经回归后相关系数均达到0．9999。黄土样品的分析结果与粉尘气溶胶样品的离子分析结果对比表明，此方法对于探讨粉尘起源以及沙尘暴天气的研究具有重要意义。  相似文献
