Strengthening the Ties Between Tourism and Economic Geography: A Theoretical Agenda*     

Dimitri Ioannides 《The Professional geographer》1995,47(1):49-60

This paper stresses the importance of bridging the conceptual gap between tourism research and economic geography. It explains why the tourism production system has been unable to avoid its peripheral position in economic geography. The paper then focuses on the structure and organization of the principal agents comprising the tourism production system and identifies the state's pivotal role as coordinator of these agents. Lastly, it highlights two under-researched issues relating to entreprcneurship and labor pools and makes recommendations for further research.  相似文献   

Atmospheric lee waves in the Aegean Sea and their possible influence on the sea surface     

Lucien Wald  Dimitri Georgopoulos 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1984,28(3-4):309-315

Unusual satellite images of the Aegean Sea, in both the visible and infrared ranges, are discussed. Alternating bright and dark features downwind of islands suggest the presence of atmospheric lee waves. However, close examination of these features indicates that the observed signal is likely the signature of the influence of the lee waves on the sea surface rather than the signature of the lee waves themselves through atmospheric effects.  相似文献   

Prediction of Gibbs free energies of calcite-type carbonates and the equilibrium distribution of trace elements between carbonates and aqueous solutions     

Dimitri A Sverjensky 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1984,48(5):1127-1134

A linear correlation exists between the standard Gibbs free energies of formation of calcite-type carbonates (MCO3) and the corresponding conventional standard Gibbs free energies of formation of the aqueous divalent cations (M2+) at 25 °C and 1 bar ΔGMCO30 = m(ΔGf,M2+0) ? 141,200 cal · mole?1 where m is equal to 0.9715. This relationship enables prediction of the standard free energies of formation of numerous hypothetical carbonates with the calcite structure. Associated uncertainties typically range from about ± 250 to 600 cal · mole?1. An important consequence of the above correlation is that the thermodynamic equilibrium constant for the distribution of two trace elements M and N between carbonate mineral and aqueous solution at 25 °C and 1 bar is proportional to the free energy difference between the corresponding two aqueous ions: In Combination of predicted standard free energies, entropies and volumes of carbonate minerals at 25°C and 1 bar with standard free energies of aqueous ions and the equation of state in Helgesonet al. (1981) enables prediction of the thermodynamic equilibrium constant for trace element distribution between carbonates and aqueous solutions at elevated temperatures and pressures. Interpretation of the thermodynamic equilibrium constant in terms of concentration ratios in the aqueous phase is considerably simplified if pairs of divalent trace elements are considered that have very similar ionic radii (e.g., $\text{Sr}{}^{\mathrm{2+}}\text{Pb}{}^{\mathrm{2+}}$, $\text{Mg}{}^{\mathrm{2+}}\text{Zn}{}^{\mathrm{2+}}$). In combination with data for the stabilities of complex ions in aqueous solutions, the above calculations enable useful limits to be placed on the concentrations of trace elements in hydrothermal solutions.  相似文献   

Changes of macrobenthos composition under different ENSO cycle conditions on the continental shelf off central Chile     

Javier Sellanes  Eduardo Quiroga  Carlos Neira  Dimitri Gutiérrez 《Continental Shelf Research》2007

The course of environmental conditions and shelf macrobenthic communities off Central Chile (∼36°S) during the strong 1997–98 El Niño (EN) event is compared with a subsequent and basically “normal” period (2002–2003). Changes in macrofaunal community, feeding mode structure, and biomass size spectra are contrasted over time with changes in oceanographic and sediment settings, in order to assess intra- and inter-annual changes in faunal composition during both ENSO periods.  相似文献   

Numerical quantification of sources and phase partitioning of chemical species in cloud: application to wintertime anthropogenic air masses at the Puy de Dôme station     

Maud Leriche  R. Lyana Curier  Laurent Deguillaume  Dimitri Caro  Karine Sellegri  Nadine Chaumerliac 《Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry》2007,57(3):281-297

The Model of Multiphase Cloud Chemistry M2C2 has recently been extended to account for nucleation scavenging of aerosol particles in the cloud water chemical composition. This extended version has been applied to multiphase measurements available at the Puy de Dôme station for typical wintertime anthropogenic air masses. The simulated ion concentrations in cloud water are in reasonable agreement with the experimental data. The analysis of the sources of the chemical species in cloud water shows an important contribution from nucleation scavenging of particles which prevails for nitrate, sulphate and ammonium. Moreover, the simulation shows that iron, which comes only from the dissolution of aerosol particles in cloud water, has a significant contribution in the hydroxyl radical production. Finally, the simulated phase partitioning of chemical species in cloud are compared with measurements. Numerical results show an underestimation of interstitial particulate phase fraction with respect to the measurements, which could be due to an overestimation of activated mass by the model. However, the simulated number scavenging efficiency of particles agrees well with the measured value of 40% of total number of aerosol particles activated in cloud droplets. Concerning the origin of chemical species in cloud water, the model reproduces quite well the contribution of gas and aerosol scavenging estimated from measurements. In addition, the simulation provides the contribution of in-cloud chemical reactivity to cloud water concentrations.  相似文献   

Experimental determination of magnesia and silica solubilities in graphite-saturated and redox-buffered high-pressure COH fluids in equilibrium with forsterite + enstatite and magnesite + enstatite     

Carla?TiraboschiEmail authorView author&#;s OrcID profile  Simone?Tumiati  Dimitri?Sverjensky  Thomas?Pettke  Peter?Ulmer  Stefano?Poli 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2018,173(1):2

We experimentally investigated the dissolution of forsterite, enstatite and magnesite in graphite-saturated COH fluids, synthesized using a rocking piston cylinder apparatus at pressures from 1.0 to 2.1 GPa and temperatures from 700 to 1200 °C. Synthetic forsterite, enstatite, and nearly pure natural magnesite were used as starting materials. Redox conditions were buffered by Ni–NiO–H₂O (ΔFMQ = ??0.21 to ??1.01), employing a double-capsule setting. Fluids, binary H₂O–CO₂ mixtures at the P, T, and fO₂ conditions investigated, were generated from graphite, oxalic acid anhydrous (H₂C₂O₄) and water. Their dissolved solute loads were analyzed through an improved version of the cryogenic technique, which takes into account the complexities associated with the presence of CO₂-bearing fluids. The experimental data show that forsterite?+?enstatite solubility in H₂O–CO₂ fluids is higher compared to pure water, both in terms of dissolved silica (mSiO₂?=?1.24 mol/kg_H2O versus mSiO₂?=?0.22 mol/kg_H2O at P?=?1 GPa, T?=?800 °C) and magnesia (mMgO?=?1.08 mol/kg_H2O versus mMgO?=?0.28 mol/kg_H2O) probably due to the formation of organic C–Mg–Si complexes. Our experimental results show that at low temperature conditions, a graphite-saturated H₂O–CO₂ fluid interacting with a simplified model mantle composition, characterized by low MgO/SiO₂ ratios, would lead to the formation of significant amounts of enstatite if solute concentrations are equal, while at higher temperatures these fluid, characterized by MgO/SiO₂ ratios comparable with that of olivine, would be less effective in metasomatizing the surrounding rocks. However, the molality of COH fluids increases with pressure and temperature, and quintuplicates with respect to the carbon-free aqueous fluids. Therefore, the amount of fluid required to metasomatize the mantle decreases in the presence of carbon at high P–T conditions. COH fluids are thus effective carriers of C, Mg and Si in the mantle wedge up to the shallowest level of the upper mantle.  相似文献   

Distribution of erosion across bedrock channels     

Jens M. Turowski  Niels Hovius  Hsieh Meng‐Long  Dimitri Lague  Chen Men‐Chiang 《地球表面变化过程与地形》2008,33(3):353-363

Lateral erosion in bedrock rivers is an important control on the shape of channel cross‐sections, and the coupling of channels and hillslopes. Recent observations link lateral erosion to the variability of flow. We propose two mechanisms to explain this. One is based on changing shear stress distributions within the channel with varying flood level, the other on the competition between cover and tool effects in fluvial bedrock erosion. We assess these processes for the Liwu River, Taiwan, and conclude that cover and tool effects dominate the partitioning of lateral and vertical erosion in this case.

Shear strength behaviour of compacted clayey soils percolated with an alkaline solution     

Olivier Cuisinier  Dimitri Deneele  Farimah Masrouri 《Engineering Geology》2009,108(3-4):177-188

In the French model of deep nuclear wastes repositories, the galleries should be backfilled with excavated argillite after the site has been filled. After thousands of years, the degradation of the concrete lining of the galleries will generate an alkaline solute (pH > 12) that would circulate through the backfill. The goal of this paper is to describe the impact of such solute circulation on the properties of compacted argillite. Since additives (bentonite, sand or lime) are often introduced in the remoulded argillite for the backfill, such mixtures were also studied. Saturated-portlandite water was circulated through compacted samples for 3, 6 and 12 months at 60 °C. The shear strength behaviour of the samples was determined with triaxial tests. The microstructure of the samples was analysed via mercury intrusion porosimetry tests and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the influence of the alkaline fluid on the properties of the argillite is a function of the nature of the additive. In the case of the calcareous sand, no major changes were observed. The pure argillite underwent a slight decrease in its cohesion due to limited dissolution of its clayey particles. Conversely, intense alteration of the bentonite–argillite mixture was observed, and the shear strength behaviour was modified. Lime addition improved the mechanical characteristics of the argillite.  相似文献   

Adsorption of l-aspartate to rutile (α-TiO₂): Experimental and theoretical surface complexation studies     

Caroline M. Jonsson  Christopher L. Jonsson  Charlene Estrada  Dimitri A. Sverjensky  H. James Cleaves II 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2010,74(8):2356-22386

Interactions between aqueous amino acids and mineral surfaces influence many geochemical processes from biomineralization to the origin of life. However, the specific reactions involved and the attachment mechanisms are mostly unknown. We have studied the adsorption of l-aspartate on the surface of rutile (α-TiO₂, pH_PPZC = 5.4) in NaCl(aq) over a wide range of pH, ligand-to-solid ratio and ionic strength, using potentiometric titrations and batch adsorption experiments. The adsorption is favored below pH 6 with a maximum of 1.2 μmol of adsorbed aspartate per m² of rutile at pH 4 in our experiments. The adsorption decreases at higher pH because the negatively charged aspartate molecule is repelled by the negatively charged rutile surface above pH_PPZC. At pH values of 3-5, aspartate adsorption increases with decreasing ionic strength. The adsorption of aspartate on rutile is very similar to that previously published for glutamate (Jonsson et al., 2009). An extended triple-layer model was used to provide a quantitative thermodynamic characterization of the aspartate adsorption data. Two reaction stoichiometries identical in reaction stoichiometry to those for glutamate were needed. At low surface coverages, aspartate, like glutamate, may form a bridging-bidentate surface species binding through both carboxyl groups, i.e. “lying down” on the rutile surface. At high surface coverages, the reaction stoichiometry for aspartate was interpreted differently compared to glutamate: it likely involves an outer-sphere or hydrogen bonded aspartate surface species, as opposed to a partly inner-sphere complex for glutamate. Both the proposed aspartate species are qualitatively consistent with previously published ATR-FTIR spectroscopic results for aspartate on amorphous titanium dioxide. The surface complexation model for aspartate was tested against experimental data for the potentiometric titration of aspartate in the presence of rutile. In addition, the model correctly predicted a decrease of the isoelectric point with increased aspartate concentration consistent with previously published studies of the aspartate-anatase system. Prediction of the surface speciation of aspartate on rutile indicates that the relative proportions of the two complexes are a strong function of environmental conditions, which should be taken into account in considerations of geochemical systems involving the interactions of biomolecules and minerals in electrolyte solutions.  相似文献
