We investigate the mean velocity dispersion and the velocity dispersion profile of stellar systems in modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND), using the N -body code n-mody , which is a particle-mesh-based code with a numerical MOND potential solver developed by Ciotti, Londrillo & Nipoti. We have calculated mean velocity dispersions for stellar systems following Plummer density distributions with masses in the range of 10⁴ to  10⁹ M_⊙  and which are either isolated or immersed in an external field. Our integrations reproduce previous analytic estimates for stellar velocities in systems in the deep MOND regime  ( a _i, a _e≪ a ₀)  , where the motion of stars is either dominated by internal accelerations  ( a _i≫ a _e)  or constant external accelerations  ( a _e≫ a _i)  . In addition, we derive for the first time analytic formulae for the line-of-sight velocity dispersion in the intermediate regime  ( a _i∼ a _e∼ a ₀)  . This allows for a much-improved comparison of MOND with observed velocity dispersions of stellar systems. We finally derive the velocity dispersion of the globular cluster Pal 14 as one of the outer Milky Way halo globular clusters that have recently been proposed as a differentiator between Newtonian and MONDian dynamics.  相似文献   

Predicting metal detector performance for landmine clearance: soil magnetic map of Angola     

Holger Preetz  Volker Hennings 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2010,60(7):1499-1508

A map depicting predicted classes of soil magnetic susceptibility in Angola was produced. The map is based on a classification system for the susceptibility of tropical soils set up by the authors and a 1:2,000,000 scale FAO soil map. Statistical data of two large groups of parent rock—ultrabasic, basic and intermediate igneous rocks on the one hand and acid igneous rocks and some slightly metamorphosed rocks and clastic sediments on the other—had been linked to three associated degrees of weathering. These determining factors were used to classify Angolan soils, and the overall method is semi-quantitative. The resulting map shows that easily available pedological information as given by FAO soil maps is generally appropriate to predict soil magnetic susceptibility. Potential metal detector performance failures may be predicted. The resulting information is a useful tool for planning the use of appropriate techniques in landmine clearance operations.  相似文献   

On the current profile in the German Bight: A two-month BroadBand ADCP time series of high vertical resolution     

Holger Klein 《Ocean Dynamics》1995,47(2):77-92

Summary A bottom mounted BroadBand ADCP was deployed for about two months in the German Bight (54° 15.3′, N, 7° 35.5′ E) at 40 m depth. The ADCP recorded current data and echo intensity between 3 and 38m depth with a vertical resolution of 1 m. The data, which provide continuous vertical current profiles, are investigated with regard to the vertical variations of residual and tidal currents and kinetic energies. To investigate the temporal variability of the current profiles, the time series are subdivided into 8-day intervals. Furthermore, the data are compared with historical data. According to the ADCP profiles, the water column can be subdivided into three layers: A primarily wind-driven near-surface layer (∼10m), a middepth layer with great directional variability, and a near-bottom layer of about 10 m thickness with a strictly logarithmic current profile.

über das Stromprofil in der Deutschen Bucht: Eine zweimonatige BroadBand ADCP Zeitserie mit hoher vertikaler Aufl?sung

Zusammenfassung Ein am Boden stehender BroadBand ADCP wurde für zwei Monate in der Deutschen Bucht (54° 15.3′ N, 7° 35.5′ E) in 40 m Wassertiefe eingesetzt. Er registrierte Str?mungsdaten und Echointensit?t zwischen 3 und 38 m Wassertiefe mit einer vertikalen Aufl?sung von 1 m. Dieser Datensatz, der kontinuierliche vertikale Stromprofile liefert, wird hinsichtlich der vertikalen Variation von Rest- und Gezeitenstr?men und kinetischer Energie analysiert. Zur Untersuchung der zeitlichen Variabilit?t der Stromprofile wird die Gesamtzeitserie in 8-Tage-Intervalle unterteilt. Ferner werden die Ergebnisse mit historischen Messungen verglichen. Aus den ADCP-Profilen ergibt sich eine prinzipielle Dreiteilung der Wassers?ule: Eine vorwiegend windgetriebene oberfl?chennahe Schicht (∼10m), eine mittlere Schicht mit hoher Richtungsvariabilit?t und eine etwa 10 m m?chtige Bodenschicht mit streng logarithmischem Stromprofil.

Characterization of sediments in an abandoned mining area; a case study of Mansfeld region,Germany   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The distribution of selected heavy metals, including some radionuclides, metalloids and non-metals was determined in stream sediments in a region influenced by abandoned copper mining and ore processing activities. A considerable amount of the ore processing waste with a very complex composition and highly elevated concentrations of zinc, sulfur, lead, copper, arsenic, and a lot of other elements in the range between 100 and 1,000 mg/kg (Sb, Mn, Ni, Cr, Cd, Hg, and Ag) was piled up on mine dumps. The dispersion of the pollutants originating from this source and their environmental impact were investigated. Both, sediments and original waste material were studied to indicate the pathways and the mobilization behavior of different pollutants. For this purpose, the process of the elution of pollutants by application of different fractionation schemes was studied. The capabilities of different analytical techniques are shown for the analysis of solid samples (X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, Gamma-spectrometry) and liquid ones (ICP-atomic emission spectrometry, ICP-mass spectrometry and different techniques of atomic absorption). Additionally, the coupling of ion chromatography and ICP-MS detection was used to study the distribution of arsenic species in the sediment cores of a lake which acts as a natural sink for the region.  相似文献   

The Mesozoic–Cenozoic structural framework of the Bay of Kiel area, western Baltic Sea     

Martin Bak Hansen  Holger Lykke-Andersen  Ali Dehghani  Dirk Gajewski  Christian Hübscher  Morten Olesen  Klaus Reicherter 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》2005,94(5-6):1070-1082

A dense grid of multichannel high-resolution seismic sections from the Bay of Kiel in the western Baltic Sea has been interpreted in order to reveal the Mesozoic and Cenozoic geological evolution of the northern part of the North German Basin. The overall geological evolution of the study area can be separated into four distinct periods. During the Triassic and the Early Jurassic, E–W extension and the deposition of clastic sediments initiated the movement of the underlying Zechstein evaporites. The deposition ceased during the Middle Jurassic, when the entire area was uplifted as a result of the Mid North Sea Doming. The uplift resulted in a pronounced erosion of Upper Triassic and Lower Jurassic strata. This event is marked by a clear angular unconformity on all the seismic sections. The region remained an area of non-deposition until the end of the Early Cretaceous, when the sedimentation resumed in the area. Throughout the Late Cretaceous the sedimentation took place under tectonic quiescence. Reactivated salt movement is observed at the Cretaceous Cenozoic transition as a result of the change from an extensional to compressional regional stress field. The vertical salt movement influenced the Cenozoic sedimentation and resulted in thin-skinned faulting.  相似文献   

Arsenic fixation on iron-hydroxide-rich and plant litter-containing sediments in natural environments   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Andreas Fritzsche  Holger Dienemann  Ernst Gert Dudel 《Environmental Geology》2006,51(1):133-142

Iron-hydroxide-rich and plant litter-containing sediments from natural sites contaminated with uranium mine tailing leachates were examined for their ability to adsorb arsenic. The samples with high contents of iron hydroxides (Fe_total concentration, >300 g kg⁻¹) exhibited remarkable fixation of arsenic (up to 40 g As kg⁻¹). This value corresponded approximately to the supersaturation point for natural iron hydroxides under the present conditions, and it was significantly lower than the value found for synthetic iron hydroxides. There was a strong correlation (R=0.8999) between the concentration of iron and that of arsenic at low arsenic contents, indicating adsorption on strong binding sites. Although all the samples had noticeable contents of organic carbon (plant litter), calcium, and manganese, no obvious effect of these elements on arsenic fixation could be detected. The amount of iron hydroxides was found the only fixation-controlling parameter immediately below a leaching water source.  相似文献   

Behaviour Of An Ultrasonic Anemometer Under Cloudy Conditions     

Holger Siebert  Ulrich Teichmann 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》2000,94(1):165-169

The use of ultrasonic anemometers under cloudy weather conditions is often doubted, even rejected or not discussed in the literature. To investigate the influence of liquid water content on the behaviour of sonic anemometers a small intercomparison experiment using an ultrasonic anemometer, a fast response propeller anemometer, and a Particulate Volume Monitor was performed at the German Environmental Research Station Schneefernerhaus near the top of Mt. Zugspitze. The results obtained under different conditions (dry/cloudy) give no significant hint on such an influence.  相似文献   

Double-layer structure in the boundary layer over the baltic sea     

Cecilia Johansson  Barbara Hennemuth  Jens Bösenberg  Holger Linné  Ann-sofi Smedman 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》2005,114(2):389-412

Double-layered structures found over the Baltic Sea are investigated using radiosoundings and lidar measurements. Situations with double-layer structures are also simulated with the regional model REMO in a realistic manner. The double layer consists of two adjacent well-mixed layers, with a sharp inversion in between.Results from radiosoundings show that the double-layer structure over the Baltic Sea mainly occurs during the autumn with thermally unstable stratification near the surface. The structure is present in about 50 % of the radiosoundings performed during autumn. The presence of the double-layer structure cannot be related to any specific wind direction, wind speed or sea surface temperature.The lidar measurements give a more continuous picture of the time evolution of the double-layer structure, and show that the top of the lower layer is not a rigid lid for vertical transport. Two possible explanations of the double-layer structure are given, (i) the structure is caused by `advection' of land boundary-layer air over the convective marine boundary layer or, (ii) by development of Sc clouds in weak frontal zones connected to low pressure systems. Also the forming of Cu clouds is found to be important for the development of a double-layer structure.  相似文献

Transit times of water under steady stormflow conditions in the Gårdsjön G1 catchment          下载免费PDF全文

Benny Selle  Holger Lange  Gunnar Lischeid  Michael Hauhs 《水文研究》2015,29(22):4657-4665

In this paper we report on a series of replicated tracer experiments with deuterium conducted under controlled, steady stormflow conditions at the Gårdsjön G1 catchment in south‐western Sweden. In five different years, these experiments were carried out in a subcatchment of G1. Deuterium was applied as a narrow pulse so that distributions of water transit times could be directly inferred from the observed tracer breakthrough curves. Significantly different transit times of water were observed under similar experimental conditions. Coefficients of variation for estimated mean transit times were greater than 60%, which can be understood as a measure of the interannual variability for this type of experiments. Implications for water transit times under more natural flow conditions as wells as for future experimentation are discussed. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献
