The relation between the water discharge (Q) and suspended sediment concentration (SSC) of the River Ramganga at Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, in the Himalayas, has been modeled using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). The current study validates the practical capability and usefulness of this tool for simulating complex nonlinear, real world, river system processes in the Himalayan scenario. The modeling approach is based on the time series data collected from January to December (2008–2010) for Q and SSC. Three ANNs (T1-T3) with different network configurations have been developed and trained using the Levenberg Marquardt Back Propagation Algorithm in the Matlab routines. Networks were optimized using the enumeration technique, and, finally, the best network is used to predict the SSC values for the year 2011. The values thus obtained through the ANN model are compared with the observed values of SSC. The coefficient of determination (R2), for the optimal network was found to be 0.99. The study not only provides insight into ANN modeling in the Himalayan river scenario, but it also focuses on the importance of understanding a river basin and the factors that affect the SSC, before attempting to model it. Despite the temporal variations in the study area, it is possible to model and successfully predict the SSC values with very simplistic ANN models. 相似文献

Rapid urbanization and increased tourism around Nainital Lake in the Kumaun Himalayan region in north India has raised concerns
about sediment and water pollution. Lead-210 dated sediment cores from the lake represent ~95 years of accumulation and yield
a mean sedimentation rate of ~4.7 mm year−1. Total organic carbon (TOC), percent N and S and their atomic C/N and C/S ratios, stable isotopes (δ13C, δ15N, and δ34S), and specific biomarkers (n-alkanes and pigments) were measured in the core. Organic matter is primarily derived from in-lake algal production and TOC
flux varies from 1.0 to 3.5 g m−2 year−1. Sediments are anoxic (Eh −328 to −187 mV) and have low (0.10–0.30 g m−2 year−1) N, but high (0.37–1.0 g m−2 year−1) S flux. Shifts in δ13C, δ15N, and δ34S suggest in-lake microbial processes dominated by denitrification and sulfate reduction. The sediments are dominated by short-chain
hydrocarbons with low Carbon Preference Index values. The pigments indicate a gradual shift to cyanobacterial domination of
the phytoplankton community in recent years. Despite an increase in external input of nutrients, the trophic state of the
lake has remained largely unchanged, and the perceived human-induced impacts are limited. 相似文献

In order to understand the post-depositional history of carbonate rocks of Guri Member (Lower to Middle Miocene), three stratigraphic sections were selected in north Bandar-Abbas in southeast of Iran. Sampling was carried out, analyzed for selective parameters such as oxygen and carbon isotopic compositions (δ18O and δ13C) and interpreted in the present study. We recognized several diagenetic processes including micritization, cementation, neomorphism, compaction, dissolution, silicification, dolomitization, fracturing and vein filling. Some of the diagenetic processes occurred at different conditions, so in order to achieve precise interpretation, samples from different carbonate components such as, micrite, fracture cement, solution pore cement, intergranular cement, and some biotic allochems were analyzed. In this study micrite samples were subdivided into two groups including micro-spary and micrite. They were recognized under Cathodoluminescence microscope. In addition, micrite samples were classified into five groups based on their depositional environments: supratidal, lagoon, coral bar, open sea, and open basin. There were minor changes in stable isotope ratios based on the sedimentary environments, stratigraphy successions, and micro-spary or micrite properties. In this study, similar calcite cements in petrography studies were differentiated by stable isotope data. Those calcite cements have formed in different diagenetic environments such as meteoric and burial cements. Paragenetic sequence of carbonate rocks were interpreted by integration of petrographic and isotopic studies. We have reconstructed diagenetic models of Guri Member into four stages including marine, meteoric, burial, and uplifting. 相似文献

Observations have been conducted using the Ooty Radio Telescope in order to place constraints on the evolutionary scenario
leading to the formation of the present day superclusters. The experiment attempted to detect 21 cm emission from massive
neutral hydrogen condensates at a redshift ofz = 3.3. In an Einstein de-Sitter universe with baryon density Ω = 0.05, about ten condensates were expected in the volume
surveyed if superclusters, having H I masses ≃5 × 1015
M
⊙, were the first objects to separate out of the Hubble expansion. The sensitivity of our experiment rules out the existence
of these condensates atz = 3.3 unless their lifetimes are less than one-tenth the dispersion in their epoch of formation or the proto-superclusters
subtend angles greater than 6 arcmin. The result indicates that superclusters form at z > 3.3 if indeed they were the first
objects to condense out of the Hubble flow.

Geochemistry,dissolved elemental flux rates,and dissolution kinetics of lithologies of Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers in Himalayas,India 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Alaknanda and Bhagirathi (AB) river basins in the Himalayan region in India expose lithologies comprising mainly of granites,
low–high-grade metamorphics, shales and carbonates which, in conjunction with the monsoon rains and glacial melt, control
water chemistry and dissolved elemental flux rates. In the present study, we monitored two locations: (a) Srinagar on the
Alaknanda river and (b) Maneri on the Bhagirathi river for daily variations in total suspended sediments, major ions and dissolved
silica over one complete year (July 2004–June 2005). Based on long-term discharge data, discharge-weighted composition and
dissolved elemental flux rates (with respect to Ca, Mg, HCO3, Si) of the river were estimated. The information thus obtained has substantially added up to the existing chemical data
of these rivers and has refined the flux rates. Our high-frequency samples provide informations such as (a) water chemical
compositions that show a large temporal and spatial variation and (b) carbonate lithology that controls water chemistry predominantly.
The dissolution kinetics of various lithologies namely leucogranite, gneiss, quartzite, phyllite and shale of the AB river
basins were studied through batch experiments at controlled temperature (25 and 5°C) and pH (8.4) condition. In laboratory,
these lithologies undergo slow rates of dissolution (10−13 to 10−15 mol/m2 s), while field weathering rates based on dissolved elemental flux rates in the AB rivers are much higher (10−8 to 10−9 mol/m2 s). Extremely high physical weathering rates in AB rivers, which enhance chemical weathering significantly, mainly attribute
this wide discrepancy in laboratory-derived rates of representative basin rocks and dissolved elemental fluxes in the field.
However, laboratory-simulated experiments facilitate to quantify elemental release rates, understand the kinetics of the dissolution
reactions, and compare their roles at individual level. 相似文献

This paper reports the measurement of radon concentration in well water at the site of Jalpaiguri (26°32′N, 88°46′E) near
the active fault zone of West Bengal, India. Radon concentration has been measured in well water with the help of solid-state
nuclear track detectors (SSNTD). The study indicates a positive correlation between radon anomaly and earthquake. The data
of radon content in well water have been compared with that in soil gas at the same site. 相似文献

Biodegradation of toxic chemicals in Guayanilla Bay,Puerto Rico 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Studies were conducted to assess the factors that may influence the rate and extent of biodegradation of biphenyl, naphthalene, phenanthrene, pentachlorophenol (PCP) and p-nitrophenol in water samples collected from the Guayanilla Bay (18 degrees N; 67.45 degrees W), southwest of Puerto Rico. In vitro studies mediated slow degradation of biphenyl, naphthalene and phenanthrene substrates by natural microbial flora present in the Bay. Addition of KNO(3) as a source of inorganic N greatly enhanced the degradation of phenanthrene but not of naphthalene, suggesting that effects on degradation due to nutrient limitation were compound specific. The rate and extent of degradation of naphthalene and PCP were higher in water samples collected closer to the source of contamination, i.e. the petrochemical complex. The identity of a phenanthrene degrading bacterium, previously identified by conventional phenotypic method (Zaidi et al., Utilizing Nature's Advanced Materials, Oxford Unviersity Press, 1999) as Alteromonas sp., was confirmed by partial DNA sequencing of the small subunit rRNA gene. 相似文献

Jupiter flux at 327 MHz was monitored using the Ooty radio telescope from July 12th to July 29th during the collision of comet
Shoemaker-Levi 9 with Jupiter. Flux was found to increase steadily from July 17th to July 26th by ∼ 2–5 Jy, after which it
declined to its pre-event value. The comparison of 327 MHz observations with those at 840 MHz and 2240 MHz indicates that
the enhancement was mainly due to the increased synchrotron emission and the contribution of thermal emission was very small
at metric-decimetric frequencies. The enhancement in radio emission was found to be more at 840 MHz than at 327 or 2240 MHz.
The steepening of the spectrum between 327 and 840 MHz as well as between 2240 and 840 MHz was also noted. 相似文献
