Hydroacoustic estimates of fish biomass and spatial distributions in shallow lakes

We conducted acoustical surveys with a horizontal beam transducer to detect fish and with a vertical beam transducer to detect depth and macrophytes in two typical shallow lakes along the middle and lower reaches of the Changjiang(Yangtze) River in November 2013. Both lakes are subject to active fish management with annual stocking and removal of large fish. The purpose of the study was to compare hydroacoustic horizontal beam estimates with fish landings. The preliminary results show that the fish distribution patterns dif fered in the two lakes and were af fected by water depth and macrophyte coverage. The hydroacoustically estimated fish biomass matched the commercial catch very well in Niushan Lake, but it was two times higher in Kuilei Lake. However, acoustic estimates included all fish, whereas the catch included only fish 45 cm(smaller ones were released). We were unable to determine the proper regression between acoustic target strength and fish length for the dominant fish species in the two lakes.     

Teleportation and thermal entanglement in two-qubit Heisenberg XYZ spin chain with the Dzyaloshinski—Moriya interaction and the inhomogeneous magnetic field

This paper studies the average fidelity of teleportation and thermal entanglement for a two-qubit Heisenberg XYZ chain in the presence of both an inhomogeneous magnetic field and a Dzyaloshinski--Moriya interaction. It shows that for a fixed D_z, the increase of b_z will broaden the critical temperature at the cost of decreasing the thermal entanglement. And it can modulate the inhomogeneous magnetic field and the Dzyaloshinski--Moriya interaction for the average fidelity of teleportation to be optimal.     

HPABM: A Hierarchical Parallel Simulation Framework for Spatially-explicit Agent-based Models

A Hierarchical Parallel simulation framework for spatially-explicit Agent-Based Models (HPABM) is developed to enable computationally intensive agent-based models for the investigation of large-scale geospatial problems. HPABM allows for the utilization of high-performance and parallel computing resources to address computational challenges in agent-based models. Within HPABM, an agent-based model is decomposed into a set of sub-models that function as computational units for parallel computing. Each sub-model is comprised of a sub-set of agents and their spatially-explicit environments. Sub-models are aggregated into a group of super-models that represent computing tasks. HPABM based on the design of super- and sub-models leads to the loose coupling of agent-based models and underlying parallel computing architectures. The utility of HPABM in enabling the development of parallel agent-based models was examined in a case study. Results of computational experiments indicate that HPABM is scalable for developing large-scale agent-based models and, thus, demonstrates efficient support for enhancing the capability of agent-based modeling for large-scale geospatial simulation.

障壁岛及其后缘碳酸盐岩储层的成因模式与预测

塔里木盆地、鄂尔多斯盆地和四川盆地主要碳酸盐岩储层的发育均与障壁岛或其后缘等沉积环境有关,并受早期大气淡水淋滤溶蚀作用、白云石化作用、古岩溶作用以及埋藏溶蚀作用等成岩因素的控制。认为三大盆地碳酸盐岩储层可划分为大气淡水淋溶型礁滩灰岩储层、古岩溶型礁滩灰岩储层、白云石化型礁滩白云岩储层和古岩溶型含膏白云岩储层等四种类型。提出了与障壁有关的储层综合成因与预测模式,其中构成障壁的台地边缘礁滩带是大气淋溶型礁滩灰岩储层、古岩溶型礁滩灰岩储层和白云石化型礁滩白云岩储层的有利发育区,而障壁岛后缘的蒸发盆地边缘坪区域是古岩溶型含膏白云岩储层有利发育区。     

Numerical Simulation of Bed Separation Development and Grout Injecting into Separations

In this paper, the Cosserat theory that has been incorporated into a three dimensional finite element code COSFLOW, is applied to analyze the development of bed separations in the layered overburden and grout injection into the bed separations. The mechanism of bed separation development during the longwall mining is investigated. A parametric study is carried out to investigate the effect of major factors including hard rock grade, panel height and panel weight on bed separation development. Based on the modeling, a conceptual model to describe the development process of bed separation is proposed. The effect of grout injecting into the bed separations on subsidence reduction is also studied and the conclusion agrees well with the common realization.
