We present data for U and its decay series nuclides ²³⁰Th, ²²⁶Ra, ²³¹Pa, and ²¹⁰Po for 14 lavas from Kick’em Jenny (KEJ) submarine volcano to constrain the time-scales and processes of magmatism in the Southern Lesser Antilles, the arc having the globally lowest plate convergence rate. Although these samples are thought to have been erupted in the last century, most have (²²⁶Ra)/(²¹⁰Po) within ±15% of unity. Ten out of 14 samples have significant ²²⁶Ra excesses over ²³⁰Th, with (²²⁶Ra)/(²³⁰Th) up to 2.97, while four samples are in ²²⁶Ra-²³⁰Th equilibrium within error. All KEJ samples have high (²³¹Pa)/(²³⁵U), ranging from 1.56 to 2.64 and high ²³⁸U excesses (up to 43%), providing a global end-member of high ²³⁸U and high ²³¹Pa excesses. Negative correlations between Sr, sensitive to plagioclase fractionation, and Ho/Sm, sensitive to amphibole fractionation, or K/Rb, sensitive to open system behavior, indicate that differentiation at KEJ lavas was dominated by amphibole fractionation and open-system assimilation. While (²³¹Pa)/(²³⁵U) does not correlate with differentiation indices such as Ho/Sm, (²³⁰Th)/(²³⁸U) shows a slight negative correlation, likely due to assimilation of materials with slightly higher (²³⁰Th)/(²³⁸U). Samples with ²²⁶Ra excess have higher Sr/Th and Ba/Th than those in ²²⁶Ra-²³⁰Th equilibrium, forming rough positive correlations of (²²⁶Ra)/(²³⁰Th) with Sr/Th and Ba/Th similar to those observed in many arc settings. We interpret these correlations to reflect a time-dependent magma differentiation process at shallow crustal levels and not the process of recent fluid addition at the slab-wedge interface.The high ²³¹Pa excesses require an in-growth melting process operating at low melting rates and small residual porosity; such a model will also produce significant ²³⁸U-²³⁰Th and ²²⁶Ra-²³⁰Th disequilibrium in erupted lavas, meaning that signatures of recent fluid addition from the slab are unlikely to be preserved in KEJ lavas. We instead propose that most of the ²³⁸U-²³⁰Th, ²²⁶Ra-²³⁰Th, and ²³⁵U-²³¹Pa disequilibria in erupted KEJ lavas reflect the in-growth melting process in the mantle wedge (reflecting variations in U/Th, daughter-parent ratios, fO₂, and thermal structure), followed by modification by magma differentiation at crustal depths. Such a conclusion reconciles the different temporal implications from different U-series parent-daughter pairs and relaxes the time constraint on mass transfer from slab to eruption occurring in less than a few thousand years imposed by models whereby ²²⁶Ra excess is derived from the slab.  相似文献

王长秋  赵文雯  鲁安怀  李艳  熊翠娥  梅放  柳剑英 《矿物学报》2011,31(4):623-628

组织坏死后矿（钙）化是甲状腺癌病灶中普遍存在的钙化形式之一,与病变关系密切。利用光学显微镜、环境扫描电镜、高分辨透射电镜及显微红外光谱研究了6例甲状腺乳头状癌中的组织坏死后矿化特征。结果表明,组织坏死后矿化往往发生在胶原纤维丰富的位置,与胶原关系密切。矿化表现出2种形态,矿（钙）化灶内为较为致密的隐晶集合体,其表面及其附近的胶原上沉淀有许多微米级矿化小球,离矿化灶较远的胶原纤维上也散布有矿化小球。一些矿化小球边缘还发育絮状矿化物质,使之形成绒球状外貌。矿化物质结晶程度均较差,由纳米多晶组成。钙化灶中央较致密部分的n（Ca）/n（P）比较高,接近羟基磷灰石的理论比值,而其边缘以及矿化小球的n（Ca）/n（P）比均较低,可能含有磷酸八钙等低n（Ca）/n（P）磷酸钙系列矿物。矿化初期形成纳米多晶组成的微米级矿化小球,矿化小球逐渐聚集形成大面积的矿化灶。  相似文献   

皖东滁州盆地晚中生代火山岩的SHRIMP锆石U-Pb年龄及其地质意义   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  

马芳  薛怀民 《岩石矿物学杂志》2011,30(5):924-934

滁州盆地是长江中下游地区晚中生代发育的一系列断陷型火山岩盆地中的一个,但与其他在早中生代坳陷基础上发育起来的"继承式"火山岩盆地不同,它直接叠置在大别山造山带之上,盆地基底岩石的时代较老,属新元古代-早古生代地层。盆地内的火山岩主要为一套中酸性偏碱性的粗安质和粗面英安质岩石,属高钾钙碱性系列,地球化学特征上明显不同于长江中下游地区大多数盆地中火山岩所表现出的橄榄玄粗岩系列的特点(如宁芜盆地、庐枞盆地、溧水盆地、怀宁盆地)。应用SHRIMP锆石U-Pb法测得滁州盆地黄石坝组粗安岩的锆石206Pb/238U加权平均年龄为128±1 Ma。该年龄与长江中下游地区其他盆地中火山岩-潜火山岩的形成时代类似,表明整个长江中下游地区的火山活动是在很短的时间内发生的。滁州盆地内的火山岩具有比长江中下游其他盆地中火山岩低得多的εNd(t)值,而类似于大别山造山带内晚中生代的花岗岩类侵入体,指示其成因可能主要与古老下地壳物质的部分熔融有关。  相似文献   

乳腺炎症及增生症病灶中钙化的矿物学研究     

熊翠娥  王长秋  鲁安怀  李艳  梅放  柳剑英 《岩石矿物学杂志》2011,30(6):1014-1020

选取9例乳腺炎症、7例乳腺增生的钙化样品,利用光学显微镜(OM)、环境扫描电镜(ESEM)、微区X射线衍射(μ-XRD)等矿物学分析方法对样品进行了原位形貌观察、分离后结构及成分的测试分析,探讨了病灶中钙化的矿物学特征及其组成成分和形成机制。研究结果表明,发生在炎症病灶中的钙化主要类型是脂肪坏死后的钙化,其发生和死亡的脂肪细胞和周围病变后期修复性Ⅲ型胶原有直接关系。增生症中的钙化主要有发生在扩张的导管内和在束状深度交联胶原中的坏死型钙化,扩张的导管边缘处Ⅳ型胶原和大片变性Ⅲ型胶原为钙化提供了成核位点,继而参与无机矿物的形成过程,最后形成较为致密的钙化。乳腺炎症和增生症中的钙化的主要成分均为碳羟磷灰石。  相似文献

张强勇  陈芳  杨文东  李文纲  王建洪  贺如平  曾纪全 《岩土力学》2011,32(9):2584-2590

现场剪切蠕变试验是了解岩体剪切蠕变特性的最重要手段。针对大岗山水电站坝区"硬、脆、碎"辉绿岩脉进行了现场剪切蠕变试验,分析了岩体的剪切蠕变变形规律和剪切蠕变速率特性。试验结果表明,在剪应力较小时坝区岩体剪切蠕变仅呈现出减速蠕变和稳态蠕变2个阶段;当剪应力接近屈服强度时,坝区岩体剪切蠕变速率由渐变增长转为突变增长,岩体在短时间内即发生破坏,呈现出加速蠕变特性。恒定正应力下辉绿岩体的稳态流变速率与剪应力之间可用指数关系来表征。根据剪切蠕变试验曲线,进行了岩体剪切蠕变模型辨识。辨识表明,西原模型可以较好反映坝区辉绿岩脉的剪切蠕变特性。通过优化反演获得坝区岩体的剪切蠕变参数,为坝基边坡工程稳定性分析和设计提供了重要的力学依据。  相似文献

Consistent Modelling of Expansive and Collapsive Response of Unsaturated Soils     

X. S. Li  X. W. Fang 《Geotechnical and Geological Engineering》2011,29(2):203-216

In unsaturated soil modelling, collapse is viewed as an ordinary response, whereas swelling upon an increase of moisture is considered as a special class of problems. However, an investigation based on fundamentals of plasticity indicates that the two seemingly opposite responses are unified within the same ordinary elastoplasticity framework. In fact, similar to the well-known contractive and dilative responses in the critical state framework, the collapsive and expansive responses of unsaturated soils differ only in the sign of the dissipative hydrostatic stress. For a soil with a low applied net stress, the dissipative mean normal stress during wetting is likely to be negative, and the plastic volumetric strain is kept negative (swelling) as well, such that the dissipation is always positive, complying with the second law of thermodynamics. When the applied net stress is high, the dissipative mean normal stress may turn to be positive, resulting in a positive plastic volumetric strain (collapse). This paper explains the concept of this ‘ordinary’ modelling framework, and uses a bounding surface triaxial model to demonstrate the concept. The numerical results are compared with experimental observations reported in the literature.  相似文献   

Formula of incipient velocity for flooded vehicles   总被引：3，自引：3，他引：0

With the climate change caused by global warming, the occurrence probability of urban flooding due to flash floods has increased gradually. Flush floods propagate rapidly, which can lead to significant hazard to human life and property. Flood hazard to vehicles has become more noticeable and frequent in recent years. Therefore, it is important to investigate the behaviour of vehicles on flooded streets or roads. In the current study, a formula has been derived to predict the incipient velocity of flooded vehicles according to the mechanical condition of sliding equilibrium. A series of flume experiments were conducted using three types of scaled die-cast model vehicles, with two scales being tested for each type of vehicle. The experimental data obtained for the small-scale model vehicles were used to determine the two parameters in the derived formula, and the prediction accuracy of this formula was validated using the experimental data obtained for the large-scale model vehicles. Finally, the corresponding incipient velocities under various incoming depths were computed using this formula for these three prototype vehicles. It is found that for a specified vehicle, the value of incipient velocity reaches its minimum as the incoming flow depth approaches the height of the vehicle, and the smaller and lighter vehicle like Mini Cooper is the easiest to start sliding in floodwaters. The results can be used as a preliminary assessment to define the hazard to vehicles parking on flooded streets or roads.  相似文献
