A technical note on seismic microzonation in the central United States

Microzonation is an effort to evaluate and map potential hazards found in an area, urban area in particular, that could be induced by strong ground shaking during an earthquake. These hazards include: ground motion amplification, liquefaction, and slope failure. The microzonation maps, depicting ground-motion amplification, liquefaction, and landslide potentials, can be produced if the ground motion on bedrock (input) and the site conditions are known. These maps, in combination with ground-motion hazard maps (on bedrock), can be used to develop a variety of hazard mitigation strategies such as seismic risk assessment, emergency response and preparedness, and land-use planning. However, these maps have certain limitations that result from the nature of regional mapping, data limitations, generalization, and computer modeling. These microzonations show that when strong ground shaking occurs, damage is more likely to occur, or be more severe, in the higher hazard areas. The zones shown on the hazard maps should not serve as a substitute for site-specific evaluations.

东白令海三种经济鲽类捕捞群体结构与生长特性比较

对东白令海水域双线鲽(Lepidopsetta bilineata)、太平洋拟庸鲽(Hippoglosso-ides elassodon)和阿拉斯加鲽(Pleuronectes quadrituberculata)等三种经济鲽类的捕捞群体结构和生长特性进行比较。得出结论是:(1)捕捞群体结构复杂;(2)渐近体长和渐近体重较大、寿命长、K值小;(3)雌鱼比雄鱼个体大、生长快、寿命长;(4)三种鲽类的捕捞群体结构和生长特性有明显差异。     

基于SERD与SPAN的全极化SAR数据海岸线分类

基于Wishart分类器的全极化SAR图像H/α分类方法应用于海岸线分类,可区分不同海岸线类型。在聚类过程中,传统H/α-Wishart方法时常将各类聚类中心对应的散射机理混淆,使得同为单次面散射的淤泥质与砂质海岸线类别难以区分。针对此问题,提出了改进型的辅助分层分类方法。算法运用单次反射特征值相对差异度与极化总功率系数构成的二维特征空间,结合支持向量机得到最优分界判据,以分离初始分类结果中混淆的淤泥质与砂质海岸线。实验表明,改进方法能够有效区分淤泥质与砂质岸线,分类混淆矩阵对应kappa系数由0.794提升至0.853,分类识别率得到显著提高。

福州地区的Q结构和它的横向不均匀性

本文利用人工爆破地震资料,在频率域中,用波组频谱比方法计算了福州地区的Q结构,结果发现:该区中地壳低速层Q值明显偏低,仅为40——80,且存在横向变化,地壳上部和下部Q均为200左右;福州盆地与永泰——梧桐地段地壳平均Q也明显偏低,且福州盆地中部Q仅120—150,为全区最低值,低Q区与温泉分布和断裂位置有良好的对应关系。     

基于遗传算法的土性参数估计

在土工问题的研究和分析中，土性参数的合理估计非常重要，根据工程中实测值反演土性参数不失为一种有效会计参数的新思路，文章采用遗传算法并结合Biot固结有限元数值法对一假设路堤的双层地基的一些主要土性参数进行反演，结果显示误差很小，收敛速度也很快，说明遗传算法这种新型的优化算法在土性参数优化估计中具有精度高、反演快的优越性，克服了传统优化方法一些缺点，因此值得在岩土工程领域参数优化中推广。     

GIS辅助下的小层对比成图系统

小层对比是油藏描述中一项十分基础且重要的工作。目前不少油田采用CorelDraw等绘图软件进行小层对比成图,图件美观,但是效率低,无法快速得到任意联井剖面的对比图。利用GIS强大的数据管理与图形可视化功能,能方便地对井的各种数据进行有效的管理。在此基础上,运用组件式开发技术,以VC为开发工具,基于SuperMap Objects控件实现了井位置与属性的双向查询及小层对比等功能。该系统能快速建立任意剖面的对比图,提高了小层对比成图的效率。     

The selection of alkaline protease-producing yeasts fi＇om marine environments and evaluation of their bioactive peptide production

A total of 400 yeast strains from seawater, sediments, saltern mud, marine fish guts, and marine algae were obtained. The protease activity of the yeast cultures was estimated, after which four strains (HN3.11, N11b, YF04C and HN4.9) capable of secreting extracellular alkaline protease were isolated. The isolated strains were identified as Aureobasidium pullulans, Yarrowia lipolytica, Issatchenkia orientalis and Cryptococcus cf. aureus. The optimal pH of the protease activity produced by strains HN3.11, YF04C, and HN4.9 was 9.0, while that of the protease produced by strain N11b was 10.0. The optimal temperature for protease activity was 45°C for strains HN3.11, N11b, and YF04C, and 50°C for strain HN4.9. After digestion of shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) protein and spirulina (Arthospira platensis) protein with the four crude alkaline proteases, the filtrate from spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) powder digested by the crude alkaline protease of strain HN3.11 was found to have the highest antioxidant activity (61.4%) and the highest angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory activities (68.4%). The other filtrates had much lower antioxidant activity and ACE-inhibitory activities.
