Solution to the rotation of the elastic earth by method of rigid dynamics     

Yoshio Kubo 《Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy》1990,50(2):165-187

Hamiltonian mechanics is applied to the problem of the rotation of the elastic Earth. We first show the process for the formulation of the Hamiltonian for rotation of a deformable body and the derivation of the equations of motion from it. Then, based on a simple model of deformation, the solution is given for the period of Euler motion, UT1 and the nutation of the elastic Earth. In particular it is shown that the elasticity of the Earth acts on the nutation so as to decrease the Oppolzer terms of the nutation of the rigid Earth by about 30 per cent. The solution is in good agreement with results which have been obtained by other, different approaches.  相似文献   

First sodium nightglow results for Natal     

V.W.J.H. Kirchhoff  H. Takahashi 《Planetary and Space Science》1985,33(6):757-760

The first year of sodium nightglow observations from Natal (6°S, 35°W) are examined. Time variations appear to follow a pattern of their own, different from low latitude results. The major seasonal peak occurs in September-October and the average variation during the night decreases from dusk to dawn. Statistics on cloud coverage show that Natal has roughly only about 3 clear hours per night. The best observing period is April with an average of 5 clear hours per night.  相似文献   

A shipborne- type wave-height meter for oceangoing vessels, using microwave Doppler radar     

Yasuda  A. Kuwashima  S. Kanai  Y. 《Oceanic Engineering, IEEE Journal of》1985,10(2):138-143

A wave-height meter using a simple microwave Doppler radar,simeq10mW in power and 10.525 GHz in frequency, is proposed so that we can measure oceanic waves effectively while the ship is steaming. It was first applied to the measurement of the variation of water level generated in a wave tank, which suggested that it is adequately applicable to the measurement of oceanic waves. A field test was carried out off the cape of Nojimazaki by installing the Doppler radar 5 m above the sea level at the bow of the ship. The result agreed reasonably well with that measured simultaneously by the ultrasonic wave-height meter installed at the same position. Another test is running successfully on a larger ship with the wave-height meter installed at 9 m above the sea level. The significant wave height measured by the present meter is being compared with that observed visually by the navigation officers.  相似文献

New compositional and optical data for antimonian and bismuthian varieties of hemusite from Japan     

Dr. M. Shimizu  Dr. C. J. Stanley  Dr. A. J. Criddle  Dr. A. Kato  Dr. S. Matsubara 《Mineralogy and Petrology》1991,45(1):11-17

Summary New compositional and optical data are reported for antimonian and antimonianbismuthian varieties of hemusite from epithermal Au-Ag-Cu deposits in Japan. The empirical formula for the antimonian variety, from the Iriki mine is: (Cu_5.83Fe_0.14Ag_0.01)_5.98Mo_1.03(Sn_0.54Sb_0.41Te_0.03Bi_0.02)_1.00(S_7.85Se_0.15)_8.00, and that of the Sb-Bi variety from the Kawazu mine is: (Cu_5.84Fe_0.14Ag_0.01)_5.99Mo_1.03(Sn_0.82Sb_0.11Bi_0.l0Te_0.04)_1.07(S_7.80Se_0.12)_7.92. The theoretical formula of hemusite is Cu⁺ ₄Cu²⁺ ₂MO⁴⁺Sn⁴⁺S₈, whilst the most probable formula of the Iriki hemusite is Cu⁺ _4.5CU²⁺ _1.5Mo⁴⁺Sn⁴⁺ _0.5Sb⁵⁺ _0.5S₈, with Sb⁵⁺ substituting for Sn⁴⁺ and forming (SbS₄)^3– tetrahedra as might be expected, given that the metal to sulphur ratio is 1, and given the sphalerite-like structure of the mineral. However Bi³⁺ cannot be so accommodated, resulting in a deficiency in (S + Se) for Kawazu hemusite. Reflectance spectra for both are compared with those of the tungsten analogue (compositional) of hemusite, kiddcreekite. The relationship between hemusitesensu stricto and these newly reported varieties is discussed in terms of simple and coupled chemical substitutions, and inferences are drawn on the valency of Sb, Bi, Mo and Cu in the hemusite structure.

Neue chemische und optische Daten für antimon- und bismuthführende Varietäten von Hemusit aus Japan

Zusammenfassung Neue chemische und optische Daten für antimon- und bismuthführende Hemusite auf epithermalen Au-Ag-Cu Lagerstätten in Japan werden vorgelegt. Die empirische Formel für die antimon-führende Varietät aus der Iriki-Mine ist: (Cu_5.83Fe_0.14Ag_0.01)_5.98Mo_1.03(Sn_0.54Sb_0.41Te_0.03Bi_0.02)_1.00 (S_7.85Se_0.15)_8.00, und die der Sb-Bi Varietät aus der Kawazu Mine ist: (Cu_5.84Fe_0.14Ag_0.01)_5.99M0_1.03(Sn_0.82Sb_0.11Bi_0.l0Te_0.04)_1.07 (S_7.80Se_0.12)_7.92. Die theoretische Formel von Hemusit ist Cu⁺ ₄Cu²⁺ ₂Mo⁴⁺Sn⁴⁺S₈, während die wahrscheinlichere Formel für den Hemusit von Iriki Cu⁺ ₄Cu²⁺ _1.5Mo⁴⁺Sn⁴⁺ _0.5Sb⁵⁺ _0.5S₈, mit Sb⁵⁺ an der Stelle von Sn⁴⁺, das(SbS₄)^3– Tetraeder bildet, wie zu erwarten ist, unter der Voraussetzung, da das Metall zu Schwefelverhältnis 1 und die Struktur sphaleritähnlich ist. Bi³⁺ kann jedoch nicht in dieser Weise untergebracht werden, und das führt zu einem Mangel an (S + Se) für den Hemusit von Kawazu. Die Reflektions-Spektren beider Minerale werden mit denen des Wolfram-Equivalents von Hemusit (Kiddcreekit) verglichen. Die Beziehung zwischen Hemusitsensu stricto und diesen jetzt beschriebenen Varietäten wird auf der Basis einfacher und gekoppelter chemischer Substitution diskutiert. Auf dieser Basis werden Schlüsse auf die Valenz von Sb, Bi Mo und Cu in der Hemusit-Struktur gezogen.

An experimental study of the grain-scale processes of peridotite melting: implications for major and trace element distribution during equilibrium and disequilibrium melting   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Mauro Lo Cascio  Yan Liang  Nobumichi Shimizu  Paul C. Hess 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2008,156(1):87-102

The grain-scale processes of peridotite melting were examined at 1,340°C and 1.5 GPa using reaction couples formed by juxtaposing pre-synthesized clinopyroxenite against pre-synthesized orthopyroxenite or harzburgite in graphite and platinum-lined molybdenum capsules. Reaction between the clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene-rich aggregates produces a melt-enriched, orthopyroxene-free, olivine + clinopyroxene reactive boundary layer. Major and trace element abundance in clinopyroxene vary systematically across the reactive boundary layer with compositional trends similar to the published clinopyroxene core-to-rim compositional variations in the bulk lherzolite partial melting studies conducted at similar P–T conditions. The growth of the reactive boundary layer takes place at the expense of the orthopyroxenite or harzburgite and is consistent with grain-scale processes that involve dissolution, precipitation, reprecipitation, and diffusive exchange between the interstitial melt and surrounding crystals. An important consequence of dissolution–reprecipitation during crystal-melt interaction is the dramatic decrease in diffusive reequilibration time between coexisting minerals and melt. This effect is especially important for high charged, slow diffusing cations during peridotite melting and melt-rock reaction. Apparent clinopyroxene-melt partition coefficients for REE, Sr, Y, Ti, and Zr, measured from reprecipitated clinopyroxene and coexisting melt in the reactive boundary layer, approach their equilibrium values reported in the literature. Disequilibrium melting models based on volume diffusion in solid limited mechanism are likely to significantly underestimate the rates at which major and trace elements in residual minerals reequilibrate with their surrounding melt.

Argon and nitrogen isotopes of trapped air in the GISP2 ice core during the Holocene epoch (0-11,500 B.P.): Methodology and implications for gas loss processes     

Takuro Kobashi  Jeffrey P. Severinghaus 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2008,72(19):4675-4686

Argon and nitrogen isotopes of air in polar ice cores provide constraints on past temperature and firn thickness, with relevance to past climate. We developed a method to simultaneously measure nitrogen and argon isotopes in trapped air from the same sample of polar ice. This method reduces the time required for analysis, allowing large numbers of measurements. We applied this method to the entire Holocene sequence of the GISP2 ice core (82.37-1692.22 m) with a 10-20 year sampling interval (670 depths). δ⁴⁰Ar and δ¹⁵N show elevated values in the oldest part of the dataset, consistent with a thicker firn layer and increased temperature gradient in the firn due to the legacy of the abrupt warming at the end of the Younger Dryas interval and the gradual warming during the Preboreal interval (11.5-10.0 ka). The Preboreal Oscillation and the 8.2k event are clearly recorded. The data show remarkable stability after the 8.2k event.Available data suggests that post-coring gas loss involves two distinct types of fractionation. First, smaller molecules with less than a certain threshold size leak through the ice lattice with little isotopic fractionation. Second, gas composition changes via gas loss through microcracks, which induces isotopic fractionation. These two gas loss processes can explain most trends in our data and in other ice core records.  相似文献   

Impact of mercury emissions from incineration of automobile shredder residue in Japan     

Fumitake Takahashi  Mitsuo Yamagata  Kenji Yasuda  Akiko Kida 《Applied Geochemistry》2008

Mercury emissions from the incineration of automobile shredder residues (ASRs) were investigated. Continuous monitoring of elemental and reactive gaseous Hg in flue gas was performed in lab-scale and plant-scale ASR incineration. Results of continuous monitoring agreed with those obtained using the JIS K0222 method and Ontario-Hydro method. Before cleaning by air pollutant control devices (APCDs), reactive Hg was the dominant form of that element in both lab-scale and plant-scale results. Emission factors of reactive Hg before APCDs estimated from monitoring results showed large differences between plant-scale and lab-scale emissions. The emission factor in the plant scale was more than 10 times larger than that in the lab-scale, which is explainable by the different Hg contents of ASR. Based on plant-scale monitoring at the stack, emission factors after APCDs were estimated as 0.79 mg-Hg/Mg-ASR for elemental Hg and 6.8 mg-Hg/Mg-ASR for reactive Hg. Using these emission factors, total Hg emissions from ASR incineration were estimated as 2.2 kg/a. An ASR incineration plant investigated in this study used highly effective APCDs. Consequently, these emission factors might result in underestimation of national Hg emissions from ASR incineration. Emission factors estimated from lab-scale monitoring at a fabric filter outlet side might be more appropriate. However, even if emission factors calculated from plant-scale or the lab-scale monitoring are used, estimated emissions are still less than 1.0% of total Hg emissions in Japan. Therefore, Hg emissions from ASR incineration can be evaluated as insignificant. Unless Hg contents of ASR increase extremely, ASR incineration would be a minor source of Hg atmospheric emission in Japan, even if all ASRs were incinerated.  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   

Crystal chemical significance of chemical zoning in dissakisite-(Ce)     

Mihoko Hoshino  Mitsuyoshi Kimata  Norimasa Nishida  Masahiro Shimizu 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2008,35(2):59-70

Dissakisites from Trimouns dolomite mine, France, have two kinds of single crystals: chemical-zoned and homogeneous types. Back-scattered electron microprobe (BSE) images of these dissakisites reveal both Ca–Al rich dark zones and Fe-ΣREE rich bright zones. Crystal structures of three dark and two bright zones in a chemical-zoned dissakisite and of a homogeneous zone in unzoned dissakisite were refined to individual R indices (about 3.0–5.0%) based on 1,400 observed [|F ₀| > 4σF ₀] reflections measured with MoKα X-radiation using the single crystal diffractometer. The differences in brightness between their BSE images arise from those in coupled substitutions of the elements occupying A2 and M3 sites. The main reason for these differences is that ten-coordinated A2 polyhedra and M3 octahedra are directly linked through their shared edge, which creates a great potential for making this coupled substitution. This zoning indicates that formation of the whole zoned crystal, where each zone could be grown steadily with its crystallographic axes mutually parallel to each other, may be identified as autoepitaxy.  相似文献
