Observation of the flare of 12 June 1982 by Norikura coronagraph and Hinotori     

E. Hiei  T. Okamoto  K. Tanaka 《Solar physics》1983,86(1-2):185-191

Flare activity was observed near the limb with two coronagraphs at the Norikura Solar Observatory and the Soft X-ray Crystal Spectrometer (SOX) aboard HINOTORI. A prominence activation occurred and then Hα brightenings were seen on the disk near the prominence. The prominence became very bright and its electron density increased to 10^12.8 cm^?3 in 1/2 hour. Loop prominence systems appeared above the Hα brightenings about half an hour after the onset of the flare, and were observed in the coronal lines CaXV 5694Å, FeXIV 5303Å, and FeX 6374Å. Shifted and asymmetric profiles of the emission line of 5303Å were sometimes observed, and turbulent phenomena occurred even in the thermal phase. The energy release site of the flare at the onset would be lower than 20 000 km above the solar limb.  相似文献   

Magnitude of σ₁, σ₂, and σ₃ at mid-crustal levels in an orogenic belt: Microboudin method applied to an impure metachert from Turkey     

Toshiaki Masuda  Shotaro Nakayama  Nozomi Kimura  Atsushi Okamoto   《Tectonophysics》2008,460(1-4):230-236

We revised an equation for estimating palaeostress magnitude using the microboudin technique by incorporating the influence of time on the fracture strength of minerals. The equation was used to estimate triaxial palaeostresses from a rare sample of metachert from Turkey that contains microboudinaged, columnar tourmaline grains in a wide range of orientations within the foliation plane. The estimated principal palaeostresses are σ₁ = 605 MPa, σ₂ = 598 MPa, and σ₃ = 597 MPa. As the microboudinage is considered to have occurred immediately before the rock encountered the brittle-plastic transition during exhumation, these stress values correspond to conditions at approximately 18 km depth and 300 °C within a Cretaceous orogenic belt.  相似文献   

High-sensitive measurement of uranium L_III-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) for the determination of the oxidation states of uranium in crustal materials     

Yuhei Yamamoto  Yoshio Takahashi  Yutaka Kanai  Yoshio Watanabe  Tomoya Uruga  Hajime Tanida  Yasuko Terada  Hiroshi Shimizu   《Applied Geochemistry》2008,23(8):2452-2461

The uranium L_III-edge XANES spectra for natural rocks at the concentration range of 0.96–124 mg kg⁻¹ were measured using a log spiral bent crystal Laue analyzer (BCLA) combined with a multi-element Ge detector. It was found that the quality of the XANES spectra using the BCLA was greatly improved due to a reduction of interfering fluorescence from major components such as Rb and Sr. The ratio of signal to background intensities in the U L_III-edge XANES spectra increased by a factor of 2.9–17 with the use of the BCLA, which greatly enhanced the detection limit for the speciation of the oxidation states of U or the U(IV)/U(VI) ratio of natural samples. In addition, it was demonstrated that the fluorescence XANES method coupled with the BCLA enable determination of the speciation of U for various natural samples such as acidic igneous rocks, ferromanganese nodules, sediments, and some sedimentary rocks such as shale and limestone.  相似文献   

Mercury distribution in seawater in Minamata Bay and the origin of particulate mercury     

Mikio Kumagai  Hajime Nishimura 《Journal of Oceanography》1978,34(2):50-56

Horizontal and vertical distributions of mercury were determined in seawater in Minamata Bay and Yatsushiro Sea. The concentrations of total and particulate mercury respectively ranged from 56–285 ng l^–1 and 2.1–506 ng l^–1. They were both highest in the inner most part of Minamata Bay where the sediment was most heavily polluted, and decreased with increasing distance from there. Vertically, an evident increase in concentration was observed near the bottom. A good agreement was found between the mercury content in suspended matter and that in fine sediment particles.These facts show that the particulate mercury is supplied mostly from the bottom sediment, and that it is spreading offshore with dispersing in seawater. This process would eventually result in the pollution of sediment in Yatsushiro Sea.  相似文献   

Application of the Single-Bubble Airgun Technique for OBS-Data Acquisition Across the Jan Mayen Ridge,North Atlantic     

Mjelde  Rolf  Fjellanger  Jan Petter  Digranes  Per  Kodaira  Shuichi  Shimamura  Hideki  Shiobara  Hajime 《Marine Geophysical Researches》1997,19(1):81-96

A 140 km long wide-angle seismic profile has been acquired by use of 6 Ocean Bottom Seismographs across the Jan Mayen Ridge, North Atlantic. The profile was acquired twice; once with a traditionally tuned standard source and secondly with a somewhat smaller source tuned on the first bubble pulse. Analysis of the frequency content of the data reveals that the single-bubble source within the 10-15 Hz frequency range generates a signal with a level about 5 db above that of the standard source. These differences can partly be related to differences in airgun depth. The higher output level for these frequencies enables the single-bubble source to resolve intra-crustal structures with a higher degree of certainty, when compared to the data acquired by use of the standard source array. The standard source seems to generate slightly more energy for frequencies around 6 Hz, probably due to the use of a large 1200 in/sup3 gun in this array. These low frequencies a re of importance for mapping of lower crustal and upper mantle structures, and it is recommended that this is taken into account when seismic sources for mapping of deep crustal and upper mantle structures are designed.  相似文献   

Degradation of lubricating oils by marine bacteria observed by quantitative mass spectrometry     

Yasushi Kawakami  Hajime Nishimura 《Journal of Oceanography》1981,37(1):1-7

Bacterial degradation of the hydrocarbons of lubricating oils was investigated by mass spectrometric analysis which gives both total amount and the composition of hydrocarbon types of residual oil. An unused lubricating oil, which mainly consisted of hydrocarbon types with only a small percentage ofn-alkanes, was degraded by marineBacillus sp. andPseudomonas sp. with 55 % and 25 % decreases in 10 days, respectively. Susceptibility of respective hydrocarbon types to biodegradation was in the following order: alkanes > non-condensed cycloalkanes, mono-aromatics > condensed cycloalkanes. A used lubricating oil of different brand showed a larger decrease than the unused oil. Both species of bacteria degraded large portions of alkane fraction of Arabian light crude oil.  相似文献   

Mechanism of the seasonal transport variation through the Tokara Strait     

M. Kubota  H. Yokota  T. Okamoto 《Journal of Oceanography》1995,51(4):441-458

To investigate an mechanism of the seasonal variation of transport through the Tokara Strait, two numerical experiments with real geometry and wind forcing were carried out. The models are linear barotropic models which are a North Pacific Ocean model and a limited-area model with a fine grid. The seasonal variation of volume transport with a maximum in the summer and a minimum in the autumn could be well reproduced by both models. The results demonstrate the wind stress component normal to a gradient vector of bottom topography is crucial for determining the seasonal variation. The similar seasonal variation widely covers the East China Sea and has a large amplitude near the Tokara Strait. Finally, it can be concluded that winds north of 35°N have little influence on the seasonal response of our model at the Tokara Strait.  相似文献   

Wave-induced porewater pressure in a seabed with inhomogeneous permeability     

Toshikazu Kitano  Hajime Mase 《Ocean Engineering》2001,28(3)

We have developed an analytical treatment for the wave-induced response of a seabed with inhomogeneous permeability, by employing the boundary layer approximation. By assuming an exponential function for vertically distributed permeability, the inhomogeneous consolidation equation was formulated as Bessel's differential equation. Subsequently, we proposed some representative quantities for examining the effects of inhomogeneity of permeability. The main effects of inhomogeneity are that the boundary layer becomes thinner and the phase delay in the direction of depth becomes larger as the inhomogeneity becomes significant. In addition, it was shown that the boundary layer is properly evaluated by using the averaged permeability.  相似文献

Recent developments in seismically isolated buildings in Japan     

Shin Okamoto  Nagahide Kani  Masahiko Higashino  Norihide Koshika  Masayuki Kimizuka  Mitsumasa Midorikawa  Masanori Iiba 《地震工程与工程振动(英文版)》2002,1(2):213-225

The Building Standard Law of Japan and related Enforcement Order and Notifications have been substantially revised since the year 2000 to introduce a performance-based regulatory and deregulation system for building control systems. Up to then, time-history analyses were mandatory for isolated buildings and had to be specially approved by the Minster of the Ministry of Construction (MOC). Simplified design procedures based on the equivalent linear method for seismically isolated buildings have been issued as “Notification 2009 — Structural calculation procedure for buildings with seismic isolation” from MOC, and are now integrated into the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transportation (MLIT). Along with Notification 2009, “Notification 1446 of year 2000 — Standard for specifications and test methods for seismic isolation devices” was also issued. Buildings with heights equal to or less than 60m and that are designed according to these Notifications, including base isolated buildings, only need approval from local building officials, and no longer require the special approval of the Minister of MLIT. This paper summarizes: 1) some statistics related to buildings with seismic isolation completed up to the end of 2001; 2) simplified design procedures required by Notification 2009 of year 2000; and 3) performance of seismic isolation devices required by Notification 1446 of year 2000.  相似文献
