Adiabatic radial pulsations of a composite stellar model     

Manmohan Singh  Sudha Rani Agarwal 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1983,94(2):351-359

Small adiabatic radial oscillations of composite models have been investigated. The effect of central condensation ρ_c√ρ on the period of pulsation have also been examined. In has been shown that the second moment of mass concentration characterize the periods of pulsation more effectively than central condensation.  相似文献

A hydrochemical approach to estimate mountain front recharge in an aquifer system in Tamilnadu,India     

Banaja Rani Panda  S. Chidambaram  N. Ganesh  V. S. Adithya  M. V. Prasanna  K. Pradeep  U. Vasudevan 《中国地球化学学报》2018,37(3):465-488

Mountain-front recharge (MFR) is a process of recharging an aquifer by infiltration of surface flow from streams and adjacent basins in a mountain block and along a mountain front (MF). This is the first attempt in India to estimate MFR along the foothills of Courtallam using hydrogeochemistry and geostatistical tools. The estimation of MFR has been carried out by collecting groundwater samples along the foothills of Courtallam. Collected water samples were analyzed for major cations and anions using standard procedures. Hydrogeochemical facies show the existence of four water types in this region. Calcium-rich water derived from gneissic rock terrain indicates significant recharge from higher elevation. Log pCO₂ and ionic strength of the samples were also calculated to identify the geochemical process. Majority of the collected samples have sodium-rich water and weak ionic strength, which indicate foothill recharge and low residence time. Silicate and carbonate weathering have an equal interplay along the foothills with a relatively large fraction of Mg from the MF. The spatial diagrams of three factors show that the southern part of the study area is dominated by both weathering and anthropogenic processes, whereas the northern part is dominated by both leaching and weathering processes. Thus, the dominant weathering process represented by the second factor indicates the large recharge process along the foothills.  相似文献   

Carcinogenic and Non-carcinogenic Risk Assessment of Metals in Groundwater via Ingestion and Dermal Absorption Pathways for Children and Adults in Malwa Region of Punjab     

Vikas Duggal  Asha Rani 《Journal of the Geological Society of India》2018,92(2):187-194

The concentration of trace metals was measured in groundwater samples collected from Malwa region of Punjab, India. The samples were analyzed by using high resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HR-ICP-MS). The results were compared with permissible limits prescribed by various health and environmental protection agencies. The concentrations of trace metals such as Mn, Se, Mo, Cd, Sb and Pb were higher than their respective permissible limits at some sampling sites. The total hazard index (HI_total) (summing the hazard index through ingestion and dermal routes) at all the sampling sites exceeded or nearing unity, indicating the presence of non-carcinogenic health effects from ingestion of groundwater and dermal contact with groundwater. The results reveal that the total excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR_total) of metals exposure was in accordance with the acceptable lifetime risks for carcinogens in drinking water.  相似文献

Geochemical alterations in surface waters of Govind Ballabh Pant Sagar,Northern Coalfield,India     

Anshumali  Manisha Rani  Sanjay Kumar Yadav  Ashish Kumar 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2014,71(7):3181-3193

Major ions showed high concentrations, ionic strength and chemical activity in the surface waters of Govind Ballabh Pant Sagar reservoir. Various geochemical ratios showed the dominance of silicate over carbonate weathering and major ions such as Na⁺ + K⁺ account for about 52 % of the cation budget. The high Na⁺ and K⁺ showed sedimentation of rock/coal particles consisting of highly weathered silicate minerals contributed by the discharge of mine water, fly ash mixing during transportation, etc. Further, Ca²⁺ + Mg²⁺/Na⁺ + K⁺ ratio was <1 (0.92) indicating the occurrence of silicate weathering in the reservoir catchment. The comparative assessment showed that the proportion of Ca²⁺ + Mg²⁺/Na⁺ + K⁺ tends to be lower along the coal mining belts compared to non-coal mining regions in the world. The Ca²⁺/SO₄ ^2? ratio <1 revealed not only H₂CO₃ but H₂SO₄ also acting as a source of protons for rock weathering. The cause underlying these differences can be related directly to geological substrate and anthropogenic activities.  相似文献   

Assessment of groundwater quality with special reference to arsenic in Nawalparasi district,Nepal using multivariate statistical techniques     

Ishwar Chandra Yadav  Ningombam Linthoingambi Devi  Devendra Mohan  Qi Shihua  Surendra Singh 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2014,72(1):259-273

Groundwater is a precious resource for humankind not only in Nepal but also across the globe due to its diverse functions. A total of 48 groundwater samples were collected from three villages of Nawalparasi district, Nepal, during pre-monsoon and monsoon to estimate the overall groundwater quality and to identify the sources of contamination with emphasis on arsenic (As). The average concentrations of all tested groundwater quality parameters (temp., pH, EC, ORP, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Cl^?, F^?,SO₄ ^2?, PO₄ ^3?, HCO₃ ^?, NO₃ ^?, Cu, Ni, Mn, Cd, Pb, Fe, Zn, Cr, and As) were well within permissible limits of WHO for drinking water, except for Ni, Cd, Pb, Cr, and As. Concentration of As ranged from 60 to 3,100 μg L^?1 and 155 to 1,338 μg L^?1 in pre-monsoon and monsoon, respectively. The Piper diagram of the groundwater chemistry showed groundwater of Nawalparasi belongs to Ca–Mg–HCO₃ and Mg–HCO₃ water type with HCO₃ ^? as dominant ions. As content in the study area was negatively correlated with Fe in pre-monsoon, while it was positively correlated in monsoon. Furthermore, As was negatively correlated with oxidation reduction potential suggesting reducing condition of groundwater. Principal component analysis revealed seven major factors that explained 81.996 and 83.763 % of total variance in water quality in pre-monsoon and monsoon, respectively. The variance of water quality was related mainly with the degree of water–rock interaction, mineralization, and anthropogenic inputs.  相似文献   

Electrical resistivity imaging over natural (in situ) geological samples using physical model studies     

Rajesh Rekapalli  Padmavathi Devi P  V. S. Sarma  P. Rajendra Prasad 《Arabian Journal of Geosciences》2014,7(11):4717-4725

To understand the characteristic responses of natural geological samples, viz., black granite, green marble, and graphite sheet, and to have “an a priori” knowledge of their physical property through electrical resistivity imaging, the physical model laboratory setup has been established to conduct scale model studies over targets of finite dimensions and resistivities. The present experiment involves IRIS make SYSCAL Pro-96 measuring system using 48 electrodes with 2-cm interelectrode separation in the laboratory model tank. In the present communication, we have presented the 2D cross section images using Wenner, Wenner–Schlumberger, and dipole–dipole array configurations over the resistive (granite, marble) and conductive (graphite) sheets. In the case of resistive target (black granite sheet, green marble), the combined usage of dipole–dipole and Wenner–Schlumberger arrays provided more accurate measures on target parameters, i.e., the combined usage of both the arrays is preferable in searching high-resistive targets beneath the low-resistive ones over burden. The shape of the resistive target (green marble sheet) is inappropriate when the thickness of the target is greater than one half of the minimum array separation. As the thickness of the target increases, the signatures of the target become feeble, and hence, the shape of the resistive target is not properly reflected in the corresponding tomogram. The response over graphite sheet indicates that the true parameters of the target are not reflected in the cross section, and the existence of the low-resistive (high-conductive) target in the host medium (water) deviates the resistivity of the medium. The target parameters from the cross section using dipole–dipole array are somewhat correlated with true parameters in the case of thin targets at shallow depths. In the case of the sequence of layers of gravel–marble gravel–sand gravel simulated in a small model tank in the physical model laboratory, the thickness of the high-resistive marble layer beneath the low-resistive gravel layer is enhanced conspicuously because of the significant resistivity contrast between gravel and marble.  相似文献
