Three types of chemically and isotopically distinct pore fluids from the southern San Joaquin basin previously recognized by J.B. Fisher and J.R. Boles also have distinctive 87Sr/86Sr ratios and Sr concentrations. Meteoric fluids have stable isotopic compositions which lie on or near the meteoric water line and low chlorinities. Sr concentrations are between 0.01 and 2.6 mg l−1, and 87Sr/86Sr ratios range from 0.7061 to 0.7078. Diagenetically modified connate marine fluids have δD-and δ18O-values more positive than −35‰ and 0‰, respectively, and have chlorinities generally comparable to seawater. Sr concentration are much higher than the meteoric group (16–198 mg l−1), although the 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.7070–0.7081) are not distinctive. Mixed meteoric-modified connate fluids have δD, δ18O and chlorinity intermediate between the meteoric and modified connate groups. Sr concentrations are also intermediate, between 16 and 22 mg l−1, but 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.7080–0.7087) are generally more radiogenic than either the meteoric or modified connate groups.
All of the fluids have 87Sr/86Sr ratios comparable to or lower than Tertiary seawater. Alteration of detrital plagioclase is the probable origin of the low isotopic ratios. Mass-balance calculations based on the Sr data suggest that essentially no transport of Sr occurred during diagenesis of sandstones containing modified connate pore fluids, while large amounts of Sr have been transported out of meteoric reservoirs by fluid flow. The chemically anomalous mixed meteoric-modified connate fluids contain the most radiogenic strontium in the basin. These fluids are spatially associated with major faults, and may represent clay mineral dehydration waters which have been transported upward from greater depth.
These results suggest that the three types of fluids identified by Fisher and Boles represent three distinct mass transport regimes: a largely stagnant deep-basin system containing modified connate pore fluids; an actively recharging meteoric system along the basin flanks; and a third system restricted to the southern basin which may be characterized by largescale cross-formational fluid flow, rather than dilution by meteoric waters. 相似文献
This study proposes a drag reduction device that uses three ribbons attached 120 degree apart to vertical pipes. Experiments were conducted in a circulating water channel to investigate the effects of the ribbon length and the direction of the flow on various current velocities. Drag on a vertical cylinder was measured by a resistance dynamometer. Flow visualizations were conducted using laser sheet beams. Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) was used to measure the velocity field in the wake. This experiment demonstrates that attached ribbons can be used to reduce the drag force on vertical pipes for various directions of incoming flows. The ribbon-type device is very simple and easy to fabricate for field applications. The results are promising for the application to offshore structures. 相似文献
To enhance the spatial resolution, two types of complementary integration methods were developed using gravity and magnetotelluric (MT) data. The first method involves the enhancement processing of gravity vertical resolution using MT data. This is called a layer density correction (LDC) process which makes the density distribution more sensitive to geologic structure. The second method involves the spatial expansion processing of MT data using the enhanced gravity data. In this process, non-linear indicator transformation (NLIT) and simple kriging with varying local means (SKlm) methods were employed. The assumptions are that while the results are analyzed by different physical properties, each method senses the same underlying geologic structure and thus there is a relationship among the physical properties. The proposed geostatistical integration methods were tested using synthetic models and field data. The experiment illustrates that the integration method proposed in this study can provide improved structures. The method integrates constructively the gravity information having a wider spatial distribution and the MT information having higher vertical resolution. 相似文献
High-quality informations on sea level pressure and sea surface wind stress are required to accurately predict storm surges
over the Korean Peninsula. The storm surge on 31 March 2007 at Yeonggwang, on the western coast, was an abrupt response to
mesocyclone development. In the present study, we attempted to obtain reliable surface winds and sea level pressures. Using
an optimal physical parameterization for wind conditions, MM5, WRF and COAMPS were used to simulate the atmospheric states
that accompanied the storm surge. The use of MM5, WRF and COAMPS simulations indicated the development of high winds in the
strong pressure gradient due to an anticyclone and a mesocyclone in the southern part of the western coast. The response to
this situation to the storm surge was sensitive. A low-level warm advection was examined as a possible causal mechanism for
the development of a mesocyclone in the generating storm surge. The low-level warm temperature advection was simulated using
the three models, but MM5 and WRF tended to underestimate the warm tongue and overestimate the wind speed. The WRF simulation
was closer to the observed data than the other simulations in terms of wind speed and the intensity of the mesocyclone. It
can be concluded that the magnitude of the storm surge at Yeonggwang was dependent, not only on the development of a mesocyclone
but on ocean effects as well. 相似文献
For predictive landslide susceptibility mapping, this study applied and verified probability model, the frequency ratio and
statistical model, logistic regression at Pechabun, Thailand, using a geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing.
Landslide locations were identified in the study area from interpretation of aerial photographs and field surveys, and maps
of the topography, geology and land cover were constructed to spatial database. The factors that influence landslide occurrence,
such as slope gradient, slope aspect and curvature of topography and distance from drainage were calculated from the topographic
database. Lithology and distance from fault were extracted and calculated from the geology database. Land cover was classified
from Landsat TM satellite image. The frequency ratio and logistic regression coefficient were overlaid for landslide susceptibility
mapping as each factor’s ratings. Then the landslide susceptibility map was verified and compared using the existing landslide
location. As the verification results, the frequency ratio model showed 76.39% and logistic regression model showed 70.42%
in prediction accuracy. The method can be used to reduce hazards associated with landslides and to plan land cover. 相似文献
The extractable fraction of aqueous colloidal C60 nanoparticles (nC60) was quantified using a liquid–liquid extraction method in the presence of five types of dissolved organic matter (DOM): Aldrich humic acid (AHA), Suwannee River fulvic acid (SFA), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelle, liposomes composed of 1‐palmitoyl‐2‐oleoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine (POPC), and bovine serum albumin (BSA). The changes in toluene extractable fraction highly depended on the type and dose of DOM. Whereas an environmentally relevant concentration of AHA, 2–20 mg L?1, was sufficient to reduce the nC60 fraction easily destabilized, much higher dose of fulvic acid was needed to result in the similar degree of stabilization. A big contrast between two types of self‐organized DOM, SDS micelle and POPC liposomes, was observed. Although SDS micelle significantly decreased the toluene extractable fraction of nC60 at the dose greater than its critical micelle concentration, no apparent decrease in toluene extractable fraction was found in the presence of POPC liposomes up to 3000 mg L?1. The toluene extractable fraction of nC60 in the presence of BSA rapidly decreases at lower doses then gradually decreased at higher doses. An equilibrium complexation model was proposed to quantitatively describe the decrease in the extractability of nC60 in the presence of DOM. The observed decrease in the extractability of nC60 was well explained by the model and the complexation of nC60 with DOM was thought to occur close to 1:1 molar ratio except for BSA. The association constants of nC60 with DOM were in the order of BSA, AHA, SFA, and SDS micelle, showing the differences in the affinity to nC60. 相似文献
Marine mussels (Mytilus) are widely used as bioindicators to measure pollution in marine environments. In this study, (1)H NMR spectroscopy and multivariate statistical analyses were used to differentiate mussel groups from a heavy metal-polluted area (Onsan Bay) and a clean area (Dokdo area). Principal component analysis and orthogonal projection to latent structure-discriminant analysis revealed significant separation between extracts of mussels from Onsan Bay and from the Dokdo area. Organic osmolytes (betaine and taurine) and free amino acids (alanine, arginine, glutamine, phenylalanine, and threonine) were more highly accumulated in Onsan Bay mussels compared with Dokdo mussels. These results demonstrate that NMR-based metabolomics can be used as an efficient method for characterizing heavy metal contamination derived from polluted area compared to clean area and to identify metabolites related to environments that are contaminated with heavy metals. 相似文献
The self-supported earth-retaining structure using stabilizing piles (SSR is used from here) has the advantages of less deformation and less internal force compared with conventional cantilever retaining structure. It is easier to conduct the excavation when SSR is used for an excavation instead of using braced excavation with struts. The SSR is better than other methods to the 10 m shallow excavation depth in terms of economical and constructional efficiency when the ground is not very soft. However, this SSR method lacks a theoretical basis in terms of geotechnical engineering. The objective of this study is to develop a method of analysis by laboratory model tests. A variety of model tests were performed in order to analyze the behavior of SSR and the ground, and to measure the stress acting on stabilizing piles relative to excavation steps and earth pressures on the wall. The analysis reveals the failure mechanism of a wedge and then suggests a method for calculating a virtual supported point. These findings were incorporated into a method for analyzing retaining wall, stabilizing piles, and beams connecting two structures. Future research is geared toward developing a design program that uses the analytical methodology for this SSR. 相似文献
