Quasi-waveform seismic tomography of crustal structures in the capital circle region of China

Seismic tomography is one of the main tools to explore the interior of the earth.In this study,the quasi-waveform seismic tomographic method is used for the first time to reveal the crustal structures in the capital region of China.3-D highresolution V_P,V_S and the Poisson’s ratio models are generated by inverting 29839 direct P-and 29972 direct S-wave traveltimes selected from 3231 local earthquakes.The results reveal strong crustal heterogeneities.The velocity anomalies at shallow depths are well consistent with surface geologic structures.The relatively low-velocity anomaly layer in the middle crust may be the result of multiple phases of tectonic activity.Earthquakes generally occurred on the boundaries of high-and low-velocity and Poisson’s ratio anomalies.There are obvious low-velocity anomalies below the hypocenters of the Tangshan earthquake and the historical Sanhe-Pinggu earthquake,implying the existence of fluids.The similar velocity structures around the hypocenters of the two earthquakes indicate that the occurrences of the two earthquakes may be related to the same mechanism.The highresolution velocity models provide important observational constraints on the small-scale heterogeneities and dynamic mechanism of the crust in the capital region of China.     

Transport of waste heat from a nuclear power plant into coastal water

A numerical and experimental modeling is presented for studying the transport of waste heat from a nuclear power plant into coastal water by using a full-field physical model with scale distortion, a local physical model with normal scale and a depth-averaged k− turbulence model with a modified second-order upwind scheme. Field investigations are also used to provide the calibration and validation of the modeling. A case study simulating the turbulent tidal flow and waste heat transport in the coastal water near Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant in Southern China was conducted. The experimental result of the case study shows that the water temperature in coastal water was a little oversimulated near the surface and was a little undersimulated near the bottom of heated-water layer by the full-field physical model. The numerical study shows that the depth-averaged k− turbulence model presented a satisfied prediction of turbulent tidal flow and far-field temperature distribution in coastal water, although the near-field stratification due to the heated water effluent was not accounted for. The result of the effect of scale distortion on physical model shows that a full-field physical model with a scale distortion of 10 produced a satisfied result of temperature distribution in the present case study.     

SPOT卫星影像居民地信息自动提取的决策树方法研究

以南京市江宁县为研究区域，首先分析了该区域居民地的影像特征，然后研究了居民地及其背景地物在SPOT—4(Ⅺ)卫星影像4个波段上的光谱特征，并由此探讨了它们在光谱特征上的可分性。研究发现，除道路在光谱特征上与居民地差异不大而难以完全分开外，其它背影地物均可以依据各波段亮度值的大小关系或适当的阈值与居民地分开。但道路和居民地在形状上存在明显差异，因此可以利用形状指数的差异加以去除。最后分析建立了基于光谱特征和形状特征的简单决策树模型，对研究区域居民地信息进行了提取并对结果进行了精度评价。结果表明，该方法的总体提取效果较好，特别是对于面积大于10000m^2的城镇和集村。其提取精度与通常的监督分类方法相比有了很大的提高，只是在水际交界处和道路两侧有误判现象。因此，利用该模型可以将背景地物类型复杂的江南地区的城镇和集村居民地自动提取出来，并且模型受时相影响较小，只是在域值大小上会存在一些差异。     

基于分类回归树分析的遥感影像土地利用／覆被分类研究

以专家知识和经验为基础,综合影像光谱信息和其他辅助信息进行分类的基于知识的遥感影像解译方法,是提高遥感影像分类精度,实现自动解译的有效途径之一。然而,知识的获取一直是其得以广泛应用的“瓶颈”问题。以江苏省江宁试验区土地利用/覆被分类为例,利用分类回归树分析(CART)从训练样本数据集中发现分类规则,集成遥感影像的光谱特征、纹理特征和空间分布特征进行分类实验,并与传统的监督分类和逻辑通道分类方法进行比较。结果表明,基于CART的分类方法的精度基本在80%以上,与另两种方法相比,有了较大的提高,而且该算法复杂性低,效率高。由此说明,利用CART算法构建决策树获取的分类规则是合理的。它可以快速、有效地获取大量分类规则,是促进基于知识的遥感影像分类方法在土地利用/覆被分类中广泛应用的一项有效手段。     

典型遥感数据分类方法的适用性分析——以遥感图像场景分类为例

目前普遍采用的分类器通常都是针对单一或小量任务而设计的,在小数据量的处理中能取得比较满意的结果。但对于海量遥感数据的处理,其在处理时效和分类精度方面还有待研究。本文以遥感图像场景分类任务为例,着重对遥感数据分类问题中几种典型分类方法的适用性进行比较研究,包括K近邻(KNN)、随机森林(RF),支持向量机(SVM)和稀疏表达分类器(SRC)等。分别从参数敏感性,训练样本数据量,待分类样本数据量和样本特征维数对分类器性能的影响等几个方面进行比较分析。实验结果表明:(1)KNN,RF和L0-SRC方法相比RBF-SVM,Linear-SVM和L1-SRC,受参数影响的程度更弱;(2)待分类样本固定的情况下,随着训练样本数目的增加,SRC类型分类方法的分类性能最佳,SVM类型方法次之,然后是RF和KNN,在总体分类时间上呈现出L0-SRCL1-SRCRFRBF-SVM/Linear-SVMKNN/L0-SRC-Batch的趋势;(3)训练样本固定的情况下,所有分类方法的分类精度几乎都不受待分类样本数目变化的影响,RBF-SVM方法性能最佳,其次是L1-SRC,然后是Linear-SVM,最后是RF和L0-SRC/L0-SRC-Batch,在总体分类时间上,L1-SRC和L0-SRC相比其他分类方法最为耗时;(4)样本特征维数的变化不仅影响分类器的运行效率,同时也影响其分类精度,其中SRC和KNN分类器器无需较高的特征维数即可获得较好的分类结果,SVM对高维特征具有较强的包容性和学习能力,RF分类器对特征维数增加则表现得并不敏感,特征维数的增加并不能对其分类精度的提升带来更多的贡献。总的来说,在大数据量的遥感数据分类任务中,现有分类方法具有良好的适用性,但是对于分类器的选择应当基于各自的特点和优势,结合实际应用的特点进行权衡和选择,选择参数敏感性较小,分类总体时间消耗低但分类精度相对较高的分类方法。

Investigation of the correlation between morphology and luminosity for two classes of main galaxies

Using an apparent-magnitude limited Main galaxy sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7(SDSS DR7), we investigate the correlation between morphologies and luminosity for the Main galaxy sample. Our Main galaxy sample is divided into two classes: Main galaxies only with TARGET_GALAXY flag (bestPrimtarget = 64), and ones also with other flags. It is found that for the second class Main galaxies, the early-type proportion monotonously increases with increasing luminosity nearly in the whole luminosity region. But for the first class Main galaxies, the early-type proportion increases with increasing luminosity only within a certain luminosity region (−22.2 < M _r  < −19.8). In the high luminosity region (M _r  < −22.2), the early-type proportion of the first class Main galaxies even decreases dramatically with increasing luminosity. We also analyze the correlation between morphologies and luminosity of galaxies around the peak of the redshift distribution ( 0.07 ≤ z ≤ 0.08 ). In such a narrow redshift region, we still observe strong correlation between morphologies and luminosity, which shows that this correlation is fundamental.     

Fine‐grained precursors dominate the micrometeorite flux

Abstract– We optically classified 5682 micrometeorites (MMs) from the 2000 South Pole collection into textural classes, imaged 2458 of these MMs with a scanning electron microscope, and made 200 elemental and eight isotopic measurements on those with unusual textures or relict phases. As textures provide information on both degree of heating and composition of MMs, we developed textural sequences that illustrate how fine‐grained, coarse‐grained, and single mineral MMs change with increased heating. We used this information to determine the percentage of matrix dominated to mineral dominated precursor materials (precursors) that produced the MMs. We find that at least 75% of the MMs in the collection derived from fine‐grained precursors with compositions similar to CI and CM meteorites and consistent with dynamical models that indicate 85% of the mass influx of small particles to Earth comes from Jupiter family comets. A lower limit for ordinary chondrites is estimated at 2–8% based on MMs that contain Na‐bearing plagioclase relicts. Less than 1% of the MMs have achondritic compositions, CAI components, or recognizable chondrules. Single mineral MMs often have magnetite zones around their peripheries. We measured their isotopic compositions to determine if the magnetite zones demarcate the volume affected by atmospheric exchange during entry heating. Because we see little gradient in isotopic composition in the olivines, we conclude that the magnetites are a visual marker that allows us to select and analyze areas not affected by atmospheric exchange. Similar magnetite zones are seen in some olivine and pyroxene relict grains contained within MMs.
