Cathodoluminescence microscopy and spectroscopy of forsterite from Kaba meteorite: An application to the study of hydrothermal alteration of parent body

Highly forsteritic olivine (Fo: 99.2–99.7) in the Kaba meteorite emits bright cathodoluminescence (CL). CL spectra of red luminescent forsterite grains have two broad emission bands at approximately 630 nm (impurity center of divalent Mn ions) in the red region and above 700 nm (trivalent Cr ions) in the red–IR region. The cores of the grains show CL blue luminescence giving a characteristic broad band emission at 400 nm, also associated with minor red emissions related to Mn and Cr ions. CL color variation of Kaba forsterite is attributed to structural defects. Electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA) analysis shows concentrations of Ca, Al, and Ti in the center of the forsterite grain. The migration of diffusible ions of Mn, Cr, and Fe to the rim of the Kaba meteoritic forsterite was controlled by the hydrothermal alteration at relatively low temperature (estimated at about 250 °C), while Ca and Al ions might still lie in the core. A very unusual phase of FeO (wüstite) was also observed, which may be a terrestrial alteration product of FeNi‐metal.  相似文献   

Importance of instantaneous radiative forcing for rapid tropospheric adjustment     

Tomoo Ogura  Mark J. Webb  Masahiro Watanabe  F. Hugo Lambert  Yoko Tsushima  Miho Sekiguchi 《Climate Dynamics》2014,43(5-6):1409-1421

To better understand CFMIP/CMIP inter-model differences in rapid low cloud responses to CO₂ increases and their associated effective radiative forcings, we examined the tropospheric adjustment of the lower tropospheric stability (LTS) in three general circulation models (GCMs): HadGEM2-A, MIROC3.2 medres, and MIROC5. MIROC3.2 medres showed a reduction in LTS over the sub-tropical ocean, in contrast to the other two models. This reduction was consistent with a temperature decrease in the mid-troposphere. The temperature decrease was mainly driven by instantaneous radiative forcing (RF) caused by an increase in CO₂. Reductions in radiative and latent heating, due to clouds, and in adiabatic and advective heating, also contribute to the temperature decrease. The instantaneous RF in the mid-troposphere in MIROC3.2 medres is inconsistent with the results of line-by-line (LBL) calculations, and thus it is considered questionable. These results illustrate the importance of evaluating the vertical profile of instantaneous RF with LBL calculations; improved future model performance in this regard should help to increase our confidence in the tropospheric adjustment in GCMs.  相似文献   

Naturally occurring radionuclides and rare earth elements in weathered Japanese soil samples     

Sarata K. Sahoo  Masahiro Hosoda  Ganesh Prasad  Hiroyuki Takahashi  Atsuyuki Sorimachi  Tetsuo Ishikawa  Shinji Tokonami  Shigeo Uchida 《Acta Geophysica》2013,61(4):876-885

The activity concentrations of ²²⁶Ra and ²²⁸Ac in weathered Japanese soils from two selected prefectures have been measured using a γ-ray spectroscopy system with high purity germanium detector. The uranium, thorium, and rare earth elements (REEs) concentrations were determined from the same soil samples using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). For example, granitic rocks contain higher amounts of U, Th, and light REEs compared to other igneous rocks such as basalt and andesites. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the interaction between REEs and nature of soils since soils are complex heterogeneous mixture of organic and inorganic solids, water, and gases. In this paper, we will discuss about distribution pattern of ²³⁸U and ²³²Th along with REEs in soil samples of weathered acid rock (granite) collected from two prefectures of Japan: Hiroshima and Miyagi.  相似文献   

Analysis of historical trend of pollution sources of lead in Tokyo Bay based on lead isotope ratios in sediment core     

Masahiro Sakata  Hao Xu  Asami Suzuki Mashio 《Journal of Oceanography》2018,74(2):187-196

The historical trend of pollution sources of Pb in Tokyo Bay, Japan was investigated on the basis of Pb isotope ratios in a sediment core. The isotope ratios of anthropogenic Pb decreased gradually with increasing Pb concentration in the 1900s–1970s, suggesting a combination of Pb sources with various isotope ratios. In contrast, the isotope ratios of anthropogenic Pb in the 1980s–2000s showed no significant trend, and corresponded to the Pb isotope ratios in the three principal rivers flowing into the bay. It is probable that river bottom sediments contaminated with Pb are principal sources of anthropogenic Pb in Tokyo Bay.  相似文献   

Contribution of abiogenic and biogenic particles to trace-metal composition of phytoplankton assemblages in seawater of Shimizu Port, Japan     

Masahiro Sakata  Masaki Yamada  Satoshi Mitsunobu  Yasuhiro Senga 《Journal of Oceanography》2012,68(5):807-813

The contribution of abiogenic and biogenic particles to trace-metal (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sb, Ti, V, and Zn) composition was investigated for phytoplankton (primarily diatoms) collected in Shimizu Port, a coastal seawater region. Except for Cd, the trace metals occurred predominantly in lithogenic or nonlithogenic abiogenic particles associated with plankton. In contrast, it is likely that Cd in seawater is taken up intracellularly, and not adsorbed extracellularly by phytoplankton. The lower P-normalized quotas of Cd in Shimizu Port than in offshore regions may be because plankton are dominated by diatoms.  相似文献

Earthquake engineering research needs in light of lessons learned from the 2011 Tohoku earthquake     

Masayoshi Nakashima  Oren Lavan  Masahiro Kurata  Yunbiao Luo 《地震工程与工程振动(英文版)》2014,(Z1)

Earthquake engineering research and development have received much attention since the first half of the twentieth century. This valuable research presented a huge step forward in understanding earthquake hazard mitigation,which resulted in appreciable reduction of the effects of past earthquakes. Nevertheless,the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and the subsequent tsunami resulted in major damage. This paper presents the timeline of earthquake mitigation and recovery,as seen by the authors. Possible research directions where the authors think that many open questions still remain are identified. These are primarily based on the important lessons learned from the 2011 Tohoku earthquake.  相似文献   

Steel slit shear walls with double‐tapered links capable of condition assessment          下载免费PDF全文

The concept of using a hysteretic damper as a condition assessment device that functions immediately after a damaging earthquake is realized by making use of the residual out‐of‐plane deformation of links that are arranged in slit shear walls. According to the proposed inspection procedure, the maximum drift ratio experienced by the slit wall is estimated based on the number of torsionally deformed links whose dimensions are determined so that the links would exhibit notable torsional deformation at the target deformations. The adoption of a double‐tapered shape for the links enables us to significantly increase the amount of out‐of‐plane deformation. The relationship between the dimensions and the torsional deformation of the links is established using numerical simulations. The effectiveness of the proposed condition assessment scenario is verified by using a series of cyclic loading tests for individual links and groups of links. As a hysteretic damper, the strength and stiffness of the links predicted by design equations matched well with test results. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献
