Structural, electronic and optical properties of orthorhombic distorted perovskite TbMnO3

This paper calculates the structural parameters, electronic and optical properties of orthorhombic distorted perovskite-type TbMnO₃ by first principles using density functional theory within the generalised gradient approximation. The calculated equilibrium lattice constants are in a reasonable agreement with theoretical and experimental data. The energy band structure, density of states and partial density of states of elements are obtained. Band structures show that TbMnO₃ is an indirect band gap between the O 2p states and Mn 3d states, and the band gap is of 0.48 eV agreeing with experimental result. Furthermore, the optical properties, including the dielectric function, absorption coefficient, optical reflectivity, refractive index and energy loss spectrum are calculated and analysed, showing that the TbMnO₃ is a promising dielectric material.     

The economics of ending Canada's commercial harp seal hunt

The roots of the Canadian harp seal hunt can be traced to the 16th Century. But in the mid-20th century, opposition to the commercial hunt became widespread after television images of seal pups being killed with clubs on the pack ice off the coast of Newfoundland were broadcast around the world. International conservation groups, animal welfare groups, animal rights groups, and foreign governments have been calling for the Canadian government to end the commercial seal hunt on the grounds that it is inhumane and that harvest levels are unsustainable. The Canadian government defends the traditional practices of hunting harp seals, argues that seal pelts are an important source of income for sealers, and insists that the killing methods are humane and that harvest levels are sustainable. Emotions run high on both sides of the debate. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate whether or not there is a purely economic argument for ending Canada's commercial seal hunt. The paper finds that the benefits of ending the commercial hunt exceed the costs, but not unequivocally. However, the paper argues there should be a higher criterion—the Pareto criterion—for ending the commercial hunt; that is the hunt should end only if winners compensate the losers. The paper goes on to argue that an effective way to satisfy this criterion is to introduce a system of individual transferable quotas (ITQs) and let the market reveal the value of the commercial seal hunt. In addition to many other advantages such as improving the safety and efficiency of the hunt, the ITQ market could provide a mechanism by which those willing to pay to end the hunt could do so directly to sealers thereby ensuring that the hunt is scaled back or ultimately ended only when it is economically efficient and unambiguously welfare-improving.     

石油污染对黄河口沉积物工程性质的影响

对黄河口胜利油田某油井附近沉积物进行石油污染状况调查研究,采用坑探试验现场调查污染范围,发现油井沉积物在一定范围内存在石油污染,污染多在0.2～1.5 m深度内,水平距离在140～440 m之间.原位测试污染沉积物强度,取样进行室内石油浓度和沉积物物理力学指标测试.石油污染沉积物物理力学性质与未污染的有较大差别,污染后沉积物的重度、渗透系数和强度等均有所降低.污染后的沉积物结构,多成块状和板状结构.

地球深部研究(SEDI)已经揭示出地幔中的温度和密度在大尺度下的三维非均匀结构,而地幔的电性结构是敏感地依赖于地幔的热状态的.对由地球发电机产生的非定常深源电场和磁场,在三维非均匀地幔中的扩散问题作3系统的探讨.根据球面矢量场的Helmholtz 分解定理,将支配的Maxwell 方程组分解为位势场Φ、环型场T 和极型场S 的基本耦合偏微分方程组,并利用张量球谐函数展开,得到该方程组的谱表示.以此,作为进一步研究核幔电磁耦合理论的必要基础.     

方差的边缘极大似然估计

测量平差问题中,方差估计理论是复杂的。本文基于概括模型,组成自由项f(极大似然估计 MLE)的密度函数和改正数向量 V的线性函数(边缘极大似然估计 MMLE)的密度函数,详细推导了函数模型与随机模型中,未知参数 X与σ_0~2 的似然估计公式,分析了基于两种密度函数所得σ_0~2的似然估计存在差异的真正原因,并对两种方法所得的σ_0~2和X 的统计性质进行了讨论。指出边缘极大似然估计,σ_0~2 的具有良好的统计性质,可改善极大似然估计σ_0~2 的不定性(有偏);并且对任一平差模型的边缘极大似然估计,σ_0~2 无偏、有效的统计性质是一致的。     

油气资源遥感勘查新方法

地下深处的油气藏中的烃类物质,在压力梯度下会向地表产生微渗漏,导致地表物质产生一系列理化异常,在地表形成吸附烃异常、红层退色、粘土化、碳酸盐化、放射性异常和地植物异常等标志。根据这些地表标志的地物波谱特征,选择出油气资源遥感勘查的最佳工作波段,在此基础上,以机载遥感信息为主,以星载遥感信息为辅,以地表地球化学、地植物学、地面遥感勘查作为验证手段,最终施行多元信息复合分析,可达到寻找油气藏的目的。
