Circumstellar dust and circumstellar extinction curves     

N. V. Voshchinnikov  F. J. Molster  P. S. Thé 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1995,224(1-2):223-226

We have calculated the circumstellar extinction curves produced by dust grains which absorb and scatter the stellar radiation in the shells of pre-main-sequence stars. A Monte Carlo method was used to model the radiative transfer in non-spherical shells. The dependence on the particle size distribution and the dust shell parameters has been examined.The application of the theoretical results to explain the extinction and polarization of the Herbig Be star HD 45677 shows that the dust shell is not disk-like and that very small grains are absent in it.  相似文献   

Potential of marble dust to stabilise red tropical soils for road construction     

C. O. Okagbue  T. U. S. Onyeobi 《Engineering Geology》1999,53(3-4):371-380

The potential of marble dust as a stabilizing additive to red tropical soils was evaluated. The evaluation involved the determination of the geotechnical properties of three different red tropical soils in their natural state as well as when mixed with varying proportions of marble dust. The parameters tested included the particle size distribution, specific gravity, Atterberg limits, the standard compaction characteristics, the compressive strength and the California bearing ratio (CBR). The strength tests were repeated after normal 28 day curing of the treated samples and also after accelerated 24 h curing at temperatures of 40°C, 60°C and 80°C.

Results showed that the geotechnical parameters of red tropical soils are improved substantially by the addition of marble dust; plasticity was reduced by 20 to 33% and strength and CBR increased by 30 to 46% and 27 to 55% respectively. The highest strength and CBR values were achieved at 8% marble dust. Results also showed that normal 28 day curing improved the strength of the marble dust-treated soil with over 80% strength gain achieved after 7 to 10 days of normal curing. Higher strength development was realised following accelerated 24 h curing at 60°C.

Although these results imply marked improvement in the geotechnical parameters of red tropical soils, the higher strength developed is not enough for the improved soil to be used as a base material in the construction of heavily trafficked flexible pavements. The improved material may, however, be successfully used as base material for lightly trafficked roads and as a sub-base material for heavily trafficked roads.  相似文献   

Towards a quantitative model of downstream dilution of point source geochemical anomalies     

Charles J. Moon 《Journal of Geochemical Exploration》1999,65(2):365

The quantitative relation between point source soil geochemical anomalies and their response in stream sediments is linked through the concept of productivity (area × concentration). The equation proposed by Hawkes in 1976 is shown to be a subset of a wider range of equations proposed by Russian workers. These workers introduced two coefficients to account for the contrasting behaviour of different elements and the position of the soil anomaly within the drainage catchment. The calculation of these coefficients requires a series of samples downstream from the ending of anomalous soil input. The concept of productivity has particular application where multiple samples and anomalies are present in catchments. Plotting of productivity allows the discrimination of anomalous areas not detectable from raw element concentrations. The usefulness of these techniques is demonstrated from a small detailed stream sediment survey in NW Scotland. Dispersion from a gossan shows deviation from the Hawkes equation with the result that detailed sampling is required to detect soil anomalies. Plotting productivity allows the detection at the base of major slopes of anomalies that are diluted by upslope sediment.  相似文献   

Comparison of vegetation and stream sediment geochemical patterns in northeastern New South Wales   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

This study compares the geochemical response of stream sediments and adjacent vegetation samples, with variations in drainage catchment lithology and the occurrence of mineralisation, within a 14,000-km² block of the northeastern region of New South Wales, Australia. The area contains a range of lithologies within a Devonian–Permian accretionary complex and Mesozoic sedimentary basin, as well as a wide range of mineral deposits. Sampling was designed to confine each sub-catchment to a single lithological group (mafic and ultramafic rocks, acid intrusives, volcanics, metasedimentary and sedimentary rocks or alluvium). Leaves of over 20 genera, dominated by (Allo-)Casuarina, Eucalyptus, Acacia, Callistemon and Melaleuca, and the <250-μm fraction of the stream sediments were analysed by INAA. The uptake of most trace elements varied between genera, with Callistemon displaying the highest median As and La contents and Eucalyptus the highest Co contents. The stream sediment and vegetation geochemistry reflect both hydromorphic and mechanical dispersion within sub-catchments, with regional patterns dominant over local influences. The vegetation appears to be influenced to a greater extent by hydromorphic dispersion, as indicated by differences in the ratio of leaf to sediment Cr concentrations in sub-catchments draining serpentinites and basalts. Although most known mineral deposits in the region produced anomalies in at least one medium, there was little correlation between the trace element concentrations of the vegetation and stream sediments on a site-by-site basis. A number of Au targets were only detected on the basis of the biogeochemistry and others were only reflected in the stream sediment geochemistry. In general, vegetation displayed more extensive dispersion trains away from mineralisation than did the stream sediments. Differences in the response of the two sampling media suggest their joint use in exploration or environmental surveys to maximise the probability of detecting mineralisation.  相似文献
