The design of very high energy (VHE) gamma ray telescopes is discussed and it is shown that a triple-mirror telescope operating in threefold fast coincidence provides an effective instrument. The design, construction and operation of a large VHE gamma ray telescope with an energy threshold of 300 GeV (at the zenith) and incorporating several novel features is described. The use of a coincidence guard ring technique is shown to result in the rejection of about 50% of the off-source (proton) events which form a high background and limit the sensitivity of such telescopes. 相似文献

This paper studies the long-run economic effects of severe weather on regional economies. A catastrophic event, such as a
hurricane, will have an effect on both the directly impacted region and adjacent regions. With dramatically increasing damage
from catastrophic weather events over the past few decades, comprehensive assessment of the long-run economic impact of natural
disasters across the broader region becomes more important than ever for planning for post-disaster recovery. We estimate
the long-run effect of Hurricane Katrina on the unemployment rate of Houston, TX by employing time-series and fixed-effect
models. Using Dallas as a control, we find that Katrina is associated with a higher long-run unemployment rate in Houston
than would otherwise have been expected. This implies that the hurricane-generated adverse relative effects on Houston. Our
findings suggest that areas that are geographically proximate to the directly impacted region can sustain lasting negative
economic consequences. 相似文献

Field data were analyzed from a simultaneous deployment of two 3D-ACM WAVE instruments; one on a fixed seabed frame in the nearshore zone, and the other further offshore on a taut-wire mooring. An intercomparison of measurements of vertical and horizontal wave-orbital currents with pressures was used to evaluate the velocity sensor response under field conditions. Results using the fixed frame have validated the measured horizontal wave-orbital velocities, but found the vertical velocities to be less coherent with the pressure time-series. The influence of the instrument mooring system on the velocity measurements was investigated. The oscillation of the taut-wire mooring was found to influence the magnitude of the measured horizontal wave-orbital velocities and induce a phase lag between velocity and sea-surface elevation. Examination of other data from similar taut-wire moorings indicates a systematic relationship between the length of the mooring cable and the measured phase lag, consistent with the behavior of the mooring system considered as a forced, linearly damped oscillator. A comparison was made between the spectra of wave direction derived from both velocity and pressure data with that derived solely from velocity data. The results show a high coherence for the fixed mooring, but significant directional variability in the higher frequencies (>0.13 Hz) on the taut-wire mooring we employed, which we attribute to the mooring oscillation. The analysis further indicates that on taut-wire moorings, the spectra of wave direction should be resolved solely from velocity data. Using these findings, directional wave spectra were produced for the nearshore and offshore sites from 233 coincident events over a two-month period, and these data are presented in a time-averaged spectral format 相似文献

Rivers draining coastal-plain soils with a low phosphorus-binding capacity load nutrients into the estuarine system in winter. Phosphorus is largely trapped by diatom blooms and recycled via the sediments to support growth, during the warmer months, of blue-green algae in Harvey Estuary or macroalgae in Peel Inlet. The magnitude of blue-green algae (Nodularia) blooms is related to the amount of river water entering in winter; blooms collapse as salinities rise toward that of the ocean. For macroalgae the relationship between light and nutrient availability is of critical importance. Control measures are concerned with reducing phosphorus loads from catchments and increasing water exchange with the ocean through the proposed construction of a new channel. 相似文献

The objectives of this study were to investigate fractionation, solubility and potential bioavailability of Pb, As and Cs in Mississippi River Delta paddy soil under an electrokinetic field (EKF). Effects of EKF on soil pH changes and solid-phase distributions of metal(loid)s were examined. Results showed that fractionation of Pb, As and Cs was largely determined by the nature of elements, loading levels and EKF treatment. Native Pb in the soil was mostly in the amorphous iron oxide, organic matter and residual fractions, native As in the amorphous iron oxide, easily reducible oxide and residue fractions while native Cs in the residue fraction. Added Pb, As and Cs showed distinguished solid-phase distributions: Pb dominantly in the organic matter fraction; As in the amorphous iron oxide fraction, and Cs in the residue with a significant water-soluble plus exchangeable fraction. EKF treatment is effective on lowering soil pH to 1.5 near the anode due to water electrolysis releasing proton which is beneficial for dissolution of metal(loid)s, increasing their overall solubility. The acidification in the anode soil efficiently increased the water-soluble Pb and the exchangeable Cs, implying enhanced solubility and elevated their overall potential bioavailability in the anode region while lower solubility in the cathode area. The building up of water-soluble As in the anode region may be from electromigration of As anion from the cathode. This study shows significant enhancement of redistribution, elevated solubility and overall bioavailability of Pb, As and Cs in Mississippi Delta paddy soil under the EKF. 相似文献

A technique for detecting the presence of cloud in the field of view of an atmospheric erenkov telescope using a mid infra red radiometer is described. Models for the radiative emission from clear and cloudy skies are tested and found to represent the measurements. 相似文献
