A new equivalent map projection called the parallels plane projection is proposed in this paper. The transverse axis of the parallels plane projection is the expansion of the equator and its vertical axis equals half the length of the central meridian. On the parallels plane projection, meridians are projected as sine curves and parallels are a series of straight, parallel lines. No distortion of length occurs along the central meridian or on any parallels of this projection. Angular distortion and the proportion of length along meridians (except the central meridian) introduced by the projection transformation increase with increasing longitude and latitude. A potential application of the parallels plane projection is that it can provide an efficient projection transformation for global discrete grid systems.
PostlarvalPenaeus orientalis kishinouye were simultaneously sampled at three fixed stations near the mouth of the Dagu River estuary in northwestern Jiaozhou
Bay, China, at hourly intervals over a 49-h period in mid-June, 1984. The purpose of this sampling was to investigate the
prawn’s recruitment into estuaries from coastal areas.
The abundance of the postlarvae varied considerably between stations and time, but they tended to concentrate at the surface.
Maximum entropy spectral analysis was first applied in the study of prawn recruitment and it revealed that variations in abundance
involved a pronounced 12.4 hr cycle. It was concluded that natural tidal cycles had a strong influence on the changes of postlarval
abundance, in contrast with the minor effects of diet and other environmental cycles. A tidally varying cross-river gradient
of postlarval density was found. During flood tides the postlarvae were more abundant in the axis of the channel than over
the banks. The opposite held true during ebb tides. Mechanisms of the postlarval recruitment are discussed in terms of alternating
movements of the postlarvae between the banks and the channels in response to tidal cycles.

Regular distribution patterns of elements Ca, Sr, K, Na, Mg, Fe, Mn, Ti, Cu, Co, Ni, Zn, Pb, Cr, Rb, Ba, Cd, and U in Late
Quaternary strata have been studied in detail. The regional variation patterns of elements in these strata are similar to
those in recent surface sediments, showing that the sedimentary environment has been relatively stable since Late Quaternary.
Element distribution changes with the variations of lithological characters. Contents of Ca and Sr increase in coarse sediments,
while those of other elements decrease. Na content increases in the pumice layer. Mn, content tends to increase sharply towards
the surface layer. Ca content decreases sharply in strata where water depth is more than 2,000 m. The strata can be divided
based on the distribution curves of element assemblages. The variations in contents of most elements in Holocene Series are
smaller than those in Late Pleistocene Series, which might be related to the factors of glacial and interglacial changes,
sea level fluctuations and material source differences.

This paper presents a coupled, elastoplastic, finite element and boundary element method for the two-dimensional, non-linear analysis of anisotropic jointed rock. The non-linear and anisotropic behaviour of a jointed rock mass is simulated by representing the mass as an equivalent anisotropic, elastoplastic continuum, so that the influence of the jointing system is ‘smeared’ across the continuum, i.e. the individual joints are not modelled as discrete entities. Numerical examples have been solved to verify the capability, accuracy and efficiency of the present technique. The proposed technique has also been applied to the analysis of tunnel excavation problems in plane strain. The effects of anisotropy and non-linearity of the jointed rock mass during excavation have been investigated in some detail. 相似文献
For 34 QSOs and 9 active galaxies with known optical variation and measured redshifts, the rate of optical variation appears to be positively correlated with the age: older quasars vary more violently than younger ones and active galaxies are the most violent of all. 相似文献
The rapid shrinkage of the surface area reflects the long-term deficit water budget of Qinghai Lake. Study of the yearly hydrology and meteorology in the lake catchment basin and the hydrologic factors as well as water budget led to the conclusion that evaporation exceeding the water input resulted in the drop of lake level, thai the obvious decrease of runoff to the lake and precipitation on the catchment accelerated the falling of lake level before 1987. and that increase of about 6.7% in rainfall on the whole basin will balance the lake's water budget. 相似文献
