江西兴国县潜在偏硅酸矿泉水水化学特征及水质健康功能评价

江西兴国县地下水中富含偏硅酸,水资源丰富,但对矿泉水资源禀赋等研究相对薄弱,开展该县偏硅酸矿泉水水化学特征和健康功能研究,可为当地发展矿泉水产业、实施乡村振兴战略提供基础支撑。本文应用数理统计、水化学分析、离子比值等多种分析方法研究了兴国县潜在偏硅酸矿泉水的分布、水化学特征以及成因与物质来源,并基于感官指数和健康指数对其健康功能进行了评价。结果表明：潜在偏硅酸矿泉水主要分布在岩浆岩裂隙含水岩组、碎屑岩孔隙裂隙含水岩组和变质岩裂隙含水岩组中,这三类含水岩组的调查水样中,发现潜在偏硅酸矿泉水的比例分别为48.5%、45.7%、29.6%,且主要分布在海拔400m以下区域。潜在偏硅酸矿泉水的偏硅酸含量多集中在32~40mg/L之间,主要来自硅酸盐矿物的水解;在变质岩、岩浆岩裂隙含水岩组区,偏硅酸的富集以溶滤作用为主;在碎屑岩孔隙裂隙含水岩组区,偏硅酸的富集受溶滤作用和阳离子交替吸附作用共同影响。该县岩浆岩裂隙含水组区潜在偏硅酸矿泉水口感最佳,深层碎屑岩孔隙含水组区潜在偏硅酸矿泉水健康指数相对较高。本文认为,兴国县矿泉水勘查开发靶区宜以岩浆岩裂隙含水岩组区和深层碎屑岩孔隙裂隙含水岩组区为主。研究成果可为揭示兴国县偏硅酸矿泉水资源价值和功能提供参考。     

华南中生代玄武岩地球化学特征及其地球动力学意义北大核心CSCD

华南板块是中国东部岩石圈的重要组成部分,广泛发育中生代玄武岩,这些玄武岩为研究华南岩石圈演化提供了重要的窗口。前人对华南中生代玄武岩开展了大量的研究,但是对于玄武岩的源区性质以及构造环境等认识仍存在较大争议。本文系统性分析了华南宁远、道县、长城岭、白面山、汝城等地区中生代玄武岩的主微量元素及Sr-Nd-Pb同位素组成,获得如下主要认识:(1)华南中生代玄武岩主要由碱性和亚碱性玄武岩组成,其SiO_(2)和全碱(Na_(2)O+K_(2)O)含量分别为42.81 wt%~55.54 wt%和1.6 wt%~5.97 wt%;(2)除了宁远玄武岩具有OIB微量元素特征,华南中生代玄武岩具有岛弧玄武岩相似的微量元素配分型式;(3)主量和微量元素特征表明华南中生代玄武岩的形成主要受控于部分熔融,且在岩浆演化过程中经历不同程度的分离结晶作用,未遭受明显的地壳混染作用。Ni-MgO正相关、CaO/Al_(2)O_(3)-CaO正相关和Eu无明显异常表明华南中生代玄武质岩浆经历了橄榄石和单斜辉石结晶,但无明显的斜长石结晶;(4)Sr-Nd-Pb同位素特征表明华南中生代玄武岩为EMⅡ地幔源区,其源区可能有洋壳沉积物的参与;(5)华南中生代玄武岩可能形成于与古太平洋板块俯冲相关的大陆板内环境;(6)华南岩石圈改造可能与中生代古太平洋俯冲板块的交代作用有关,后者所释放的酸性熔体/流体与地幔橄榄岩相互作用,最终造成了华南岩石圈物理化学性质的强烈改变;(7)古太平洋俯冲板块可能对华南有色金属、稀有金属等多金属成矿发挥着重要作用,其释放的熔体或流体为矿石活化和迁移提供了重要的驱动力。

冻结过程中单孔冰结晶变形机制研究

孔隙水在冻结过程中产生的冰结晶压力导致了多孔材料的冻胀及破坏。本文通过理论分析分别给出了不同形状晶体的结晶压力计算模型,并分析了经典结晶压力计算公式的使用条件。建立了降温过程中孔隙冰晶生长模型,实现冰晶生长过程中的孔隙变形计算,分析了晶核密度、孔径大小、荷载和冰晶体积对孔隙冻胀变形的影响机制。结果表明：起始孔隙直径和长宽比的增大对结晶变形抑制作用的机理在于减少了冰晶体积中膨胀结晶的比例。荷载对孔隙变形的抑制机制在于,荷载的增大迫使冰晶更多地横向生长（长宽比增大）,导致膨胀结晶所占比例减小。孔隙中的晶体生长有完全填充模式和部分填充模式,在部分填充模式下,晶核密度、荷载和孔径的增大都会导致晶体在孔隙中的填充率增大,从而对孔隙结晶变形产生影响。本模型揭示了单个孔隙中冻胀变形机制,为解决多孔介质的冻胀变形与破坏问题提供了新的思路。     

Geochemistry of Lake Sediments as a Record of Environmental Change in a High Arctic Watershed

A 1.93 m long sediment core was obtained from Fish Lake, Truelove Lowland, Devon Island, Nunavut, Canada. Multivariate statistical techniques using a wide range of chemical variables successfully reconstructed the late Holocene history of the Fish Lake watershed. Factor analysis identified six geomorphic mechanisms controlling the formation of sediments. Cluster analysis produced a grouping of core segments and discriminant analysis confirmed that 100% of the samples were correctly classified. The results indicated that the environmental history of the Fish Lake watershed in the past 6500 years can be divided into five phases. These are 6500-5700 years BP, 5700-1700 years BP, 1700-1000 years BP, 1000-600 years BP and 600 years BP to the present. In the Fish Lake watershed, during its time as a terrestrial system, the interactions of erosion, weathering, leaching, soil development, vegetation succession and climatic change have shaped the surrounding landscape as well as determined the evolution of the lake.     

Stability of breakwater defenced by a seaward submerged reef

The stability of a uniformly sloped conventional rubble mound breakwater defenced by a seaward submerged reef is investigated using physical model studies. Regular waves of wide ranging heights and periods are used. Tests are carried out for different spacings between two rubble mound structures (X/d=2.5–13.33) and for different relative heights (h/d=0.625–0.833) and relative widths (B/d=0.25–1.33) of the reef. It is observed that a reef of width (B/d) of 0.6–0.75 constructed at a seaward distance (X/d) of 6.25–8.33 breaks all the incoming waves and dissipates energy and protects the breakwater optimally.     

Growth and photosynthetic rates of Chlamydomonas plethora and Nitzschia frustula cultures isolated from Kuwait Bay, Arabian Gulf, and their potential as live algal food for tropical mariculture

With a view to utilize local algae as food organisms in mariculture, the green alga Chlamydomonas plethora and the diatom Nitzschia frustula were isolated and studied from the unique coastal waters arid zone off Kuwait. Batch cultures of C. plethora and N. frustula had maximum division rates (μ_max) of 2.5 and 3.4 day^?1, respectively. Cultures grown for 36 h yielded comparable growth rates. Photosynthesis‐irradiance relationships in cultures harvested at various phases of growth showed that cultures attained log phase after 1‐day growth and yielded the highest assimilation numbers (P: μg C [μg Chl a]^?1 h^?1): 22.8 for C. plethora and 18.1 for N. frustula. Their initial slopes (α^B: ng C [μg Chl a]^?1 h^?1 [μmol m^?2 s^?1]^?1 were also the highest observed so far: 79.5 for C. plethora and 39.6 for N. frustula. Photoinhibition was low. Compared with these, assimilation numbers in senescent cultures of 20‐day growth were <8% of the maximum for both species, and the initial slope decreased to 17 and 13% in C. plethora and N. frustula, respectively. Two polyunsaturated fatty acids (20:5n‐3 eicosapentaenoic acid and 22:6n‐3 docosahexaenoic acid) that are essential in many marine animal diets constituted up to 24% and 1.9% of the total fatty acids, respectively. Of the two algae, N. frustula contained higher levels of 16:1n‐7, 20:5n‐3 and comparatively low levels of 22:6n‐3 fatty acids. Due to its rapid growth, high photosynthetic rate and presence of the amino acids leucine, lysine, glutamic acid and arginine N. frustula has good potential as a feed organism in mariculture applications. The capacity of these algae to produce a wide range of size groups (nano and net plankton) is an additional bonus for mariculture operations.     

Axis Translation and Negative Water Column Techniques for Suction Control

Negative water column and axis translation techniques are conventionally used experimental techniques for obtaining data to interpret the engineering behavior of unsaturated soils. The negative or the hanging water column technique is used as a suction control method in the low suction range (i.e., 0–30 kPa). The axis translation technique is used in the suction range 0 to 500 kPa or higher. This technique is particularly useful for testing specimens with suction values greater than 100 kPa avoiding problems associated with cavitation. While the axis-translation technique has been commonly used, the limitations associated with this technique related to air diffusion, water volume change and evaporation are not discussed in greater detail in the literature. This paper highlights some of the key aspects related to the negative water column and axis translation technique that are of interest both to the researchers and practicing engineers.     

In-season time series analysis of Resourcesat-1 AWiFS data for estimating irrigation water requirement

AWiFS sensor on board IRS-P6 (Resourcesat-1), with its unique features—wide swath and 5-day revisit capability provides excellent opportunities to carry out in-season analysis of irrigated agriculture. The study carried out in Hirakud command area, Orissa State indicated that the progression of rice crop acreage could be mapped through analysis of time series AWiFS data set. The spectral emergence pattern of rice crop was found useful to identify the period of rice transplantation and its variability across the command area. This information, integrated with agro-meteorological data, was used to quantify 10-daily canal-wise irrigation water requirement. A comparison with field measured actual irrigation supplies indicated an overall supply adequacy of 88% and showed wide variability at lateral canal level ranging between 18% and 109%. The supply pattern also did not correspond with the chronological variations associated with crop water requirement, supplies were 15% excess during initial part of season (December and January) and were 20.1% deficit during later part of season (February to April). Rescheduling the excess supplies of the initial period could have reduced the deficit to 15% during peak season. The study has demonstrated the usefulness of AWiFS data to generate the irrigation water requirement by mid-season, subsequent to which 38% supplies were yet to be allocated. This would support the irrigation managers to reschedule the irrigation water supplies to achieve better synchronization between requirement and supply leading to improved water use efficiency.     

Tomographic imaging of high seismic activities in underground island longwall face

Anomalous information identification is a key issue for seismic hazard prevention in underground mining. Velocity tomograms can image the stress redistribution around coal face and provide better understanding of strata failure mechanisms. In this paper, based on microseismic events recorded during mining operation, passive tomographic imagings have been presented to assess strong tremor hazard and locate high seismic activity zones around an island coal face under super-thick strata. The zones of high velocity or velocity gradient anomalies have been found to correlate well with the distribution of strong tremors, indicating that velocity tomography is feasible for seismic hazard assessment and risk region division in underground mining.
