Distribution of heavy metals in the clastic fine-grained sediments of Gavkhuni playa lake (Southeast of Isfahan,Iran) 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
The sedimentary basin of Gavkhuni playa lake includes two sedimentary environments of delta and playa lake. These environments consist of mud, sand and salt flats. There are potentials for concentration of heavy metals in the fine-grained sediments (silt and clay) of the playa due to existence of Pb/Zn ore deposits, industrial and agricultural regions in the water catchment of Zayandehrud River terminating to this area. In order to study the concentration of heavy metals and the controlling factors on their distribution in the fine-grained sediments, 13 samples were taken from the muddy facies and concentration of the heavy metals were determined. The results showed that the heavy metal concentrations range in the sediments (in ppm) are Mn (395.5–1,040), Sr (100.4–725.76), Pb (14.66–91.06), Zn (23.59–80.9), Ni (37–73.66), Cu (13.83–29.83), Co (5.73–13.78), Ag (3.03–4.76) and Cd (2.3–5.5) in their order of abundances. The concentration of Ag is noticeable in the sediments relative to the average concentration of this element in mud sediments. The amounts of Pb and Zn are relatively high in all the samples in comparison with the other elements. The concentration of Ni is relatively high in the oxidized samples. The distribution of Pb is directly related to organic matter content of the sediments. The concentrations of Zn, Sr, Cu, Co and Cd in the samples of the playa are lower than those in the delta. The amount of illite is another factor influencing Zn and Pb concentrations. Sr is more concentrated in the sediments with the high content of calcium carbonate. The distribution pattern of Cu, Co, Pb and Mn resembles to that of the clay content of the sediments. The clay content shows positive correlations with Co, Cu and Mn concentrations and negative correlation with Ag. The Sr and Ag concentrations are positively correlated with the amount of CaCO3. The amounts of Co, Cu, Ni and Mn show negative correlations with the calcium carbonate content. Pb and Co are noticeably correlated with Mn. 相似文献

Proper estimation of the spatial distribution of water-table depth is highly important in most groundwater studies. Groundwater depth is measured at specific and limited points and it is estimated for other parts using spatial estimation methods. In this study, two multivariate methods, artificial neural network (ANN) and multiple linear regression (MLR), are examined to estimate water-table depth in an unconfined aquifer located in Shibkooh, Iran. The different ancillary data, including spatial coordinates, digital elevation model (DEM), aquifer bed elevation, specific resistivity and aquifer thickness were used to improve estimates based on these methods. It was proved that performance of the ANN surpasses that of the MLR method. Using the spatial coordinates, the aquifer bed elevation and aquifer thickness resulted in the optimum spatial estimation of the water-table depth. These parameters, directly or indirectly, affect the water-table depth estimation through techniques such as ANN capable of modelling of nonlinear relationships. 相似文献

Robust methods for time-frequency analysis of time series, which provide local information of signals, allow earthquake engineers to study both the input and output of dynamic time history analysis with more reliability. Moreover, time-frequency representations (TFRs) have a major role in the analysis of non-stationary seismic signals exhibiting significant time variation of frequency content. S-Transform (ST) is a modern TFR, which can measure local characteristics of a signal such as amplitude, frequency, and phase at any time instant. This paper presents a new method for decomposition of ground motion signals. A modified version of ST-based technique, originally employed to decompose signals of gearbox vibration, is introduced and applied to the extraction and characterization of pulse-like part of near-fault velocity records, which is contributed to the directivity effects. In addition, a new definition based on ST analysis is used to identify pulse period. The results of implementation of proposed procedure on a database of pulse-like ground motion recordings belonging to the different ranges of magnitude demonstrate the efficiency of proposed method compared with other available approaches. The results, also, indicate that simple approximation of distinct pulses using single-period waveforms, unlike the extracted pulses, cannot represent the impulsive nature of real records adequately. 相似文献

In this study, we calculate accurate absolute locations for nearly 3,000 shallow earthquakes (≤20 km depth) that occurred from 1996 to 2010 in the Central Alborz region of northern Iran using a non-linear probabilistic relocation algorithm on a local scale. We aim to produce a consistent dataset with a realistic assessment of location errors using probabilistic hypocenter probability density functions. Our results indicate significant improvement in hypocenter locations and far less scattering than in the routine earthquake catalog. According to our results, 816 earthquakes have horizontal uncertainties in the 0.5–3.0 km range, and 981 earthquakes are relocated with focal-depth errors less than 3.0 km, even with a suboptimal network geometry. Earthquake relocated are tightly clustered in the eastern Tehran region and are mainly associated with active faults in the study area (the Mosha and Garmsar faults). Strong historical earthquakes have occurred along the Mosha and Garmsar faults, and the relocated earthquakes along these faults show clear north-dipping structures and align along east–west lineations, consistent with the predominant trend of faults within the study region. After event relocation, all seismicity lies in the upper 20 km of the crust, and no deep seismicity (>20 km depth) has been observed. In many circumstances, the seismicity at depth does not correlate with surface faulting, suggesting that the faulting at depth does not directly offset overlying sediments. 相似文献

Introducing and applying an appropriate strategy for reservoir modeling in strongly heterogeneous and fractured reservoirs is a controversial issue in reservoir engineering. Various integration approaches have been introduced to combine different sources of information and model building techniques to handle heterogeneity in geological complex reservoir. However, most of these integration approaches in several studies fail on modeling strongly fractured limestone reservoir rocks of the Zagros belt in southwest Iran. In this study, we introduced a new strategy for appropriate modeling of a production formation fractured rock. Firstly, different rock types in the study area were identified based on well log data. Then, the Sarvak Formation was divided into nine zones, and the thinner subzones were used for further fine modeling procedure. These subzones were separated based on different fracture types and fracture distribution in each zone. This strategy provided sophisticated distribution of petrophysical parameters throughout the grids of the model, and therefore, it can handle strong heterogeneity of the complex reservoir. Afterward, petrophysical parameters were used to produce an up-scaled 3D gridded petrophysical model. Subsequently, maps of petrophysical properties were derived for each zone of the Sarvak Formation. Evidences achieved in this study indicates Sarvak Formation zone 2 as the target production zone with better performance of reservoir rock and the southwestern part of the field as area of maximum porosity. 相似文献

The advent of multiple-point geostatistics (MPS) gave rise to the integration of complex subsurface geological structures
and features into the model by the concept of training images. Initial algorithms generate geologically realistic realizations
by using these training images to obtain conditional probabilities needed in a stochastic simulation framework. More recent
pattern-based geostatistical algorithms attempt to improve the accuracy of the training image pattern reproduction. In these
approaches, the training image is used to construct a pattern database. Consequently, sequential simulation will be carried
out by selecting a pattern from the database and pasting it onto the simulation grid. One of the shortcomings of the present
algorithms is the lack of a unifying framework for classifying and modeling the patterns from the training image. In this
paper, an entirely different approach will be taken toward geostatistical modeling. A novel, principled and unified technique
for pattern analysis and generation that ensures computational efficiency and enables a straightforward incorporation of domain
knowledge will be presented. 相似文献

The coastal lands are very important boundaries in the natural system. But these areas are under pressure that has threatened their health by short-sighted planning policies. The management options have focused on economic production and human benefits rather than the natural systems that guaranty sustainability of them. Evaluation of sustainability in coastal lands needs some critical criteria and indicators. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate an innovative reliable method for identification of the most important criteria and indicators using multi criteria techniques, especially the Analytic Network Process (ANP). Analytic Network Process as a new approach has potential to be applied into the field of coastal land use development. This is the first time ANP has been used for criteria selection to ensure sustainability in coastal land use planning. The integration of social, economic and environmental criteria within the planning framework in this paper has provided a holistic approach for integrated coastal land use development. 相似文献

Brown shrimp (Farfantepenaeus aztecus) are an important commercial aquatic species experiencing loss of inshore marsh nursery habitat in coastal Louisiana. To
study inshore brown shrimp movements and identify aspects of essential habitat important for sustaining brown shrimp populations,
we collected juvenile brown shrimp in April and May 2000, the time of annual maximum brown shrimp abundance, in a small 1-km2 marsh area on the central Louisiana coast. Drop sampling showed average shrimp densities of 1.6–2.4 m−2 in shallow marsh ponds and seining indicated lower densities of 0.5–0.9 m−2 in nearby shallow channel and open bay sites. Smaller shrimp (< 50 mm) fed disproportionately on benthic diatoms and small
harpacticoid copepods, while large shrimp fed more frequently on larger-bodied amphipods and tanaids. We developed novel chemical
approaches to estimate patterns of shrimp residency and movement using carbon and nitrogen stable isotopic determinations.
Resident shrimp had isotopic values similar to average foods and showed consistent isotopic spacings between fast and slow
turnover tissues. Residency was highest (47–55%) in ponds and shallow channel habitats and much less in open bays and deep
channels (4–27%). There was sparse evidence for dietary specialization among individull shrimp. The results support the view
that small 10–20 mm postlarval and juvenile brown shrimp arriving in estuaries from offshore waters continue movement through
sub-optimal habitats (deep channels and open bays), but exhibit much less movement once an optimal habitat (marsh ponds or
shallow channel margins) is reached. This study also indicated that combining estimates of shrimp densities, residency, growth
rate, and mortality allows evaluation of the importance of different habitat types for shrimp production. Shallow ponds that
in many ways resemble fertile aquaculture ponds appear to be hot spots for brown shrimp production, and coastal preservation
and restoration efforts should focus on these areas as important for sustaining shrimp fisheries. 相似文献
