Crystalline enstatite (MgSiO3) grains were produced by the simultaneous evaporation of SiO grains and Mg vapor in a plasma field. The MgSiO3 grains were spherical or needlelike. The necessity of a plasma field in astromineralogy is suggested in the present study. 相似文献
The simplest model of a resonant problem of second order is the planar and circular case. Simplification like this is very old and for 3/1 resonance, several authors have studied this problem with different purposes. In this work, we test this model for the available asteroids, by applying Hori's perturbation method. Explicit solutions of the intermediate orbit are obtained. In the plane of two constants of the problem, all types of motion are described. By testing the model, it is shown that, in general, one can confirm results of numerical integrations indicating libration for a few number of asteroids and circulation for most of them. However, agreement in numerical values for amplitude and period of librations seems to be not possible mainly if Jupiter's eccentricity is neglected. On the other hand, even though there might be some physical reasons determining that only asteroids with high eccentricity may librate, it is shown that, from mathematical point of view, libration may occur even in the case of small eccentricities provided that some relations are satisfied. 相似文献
We carry out climate simulations for 1880–2003 with GISS modelE driven by ten measured or estimated climate forcings. An ensemble
of climate model runs is carried out for each forcing acting individually and for all forcing mechanisms acting together.
We compare side-by-side simulated climate change for each forcing, all forcings, observations, unforced variability among
model ensemble members, and, if available, observed variability. Discrepancies between observations and simulations with all
forcings are due to model deficiencies, inaccurate or incomplete forcings, and imperfect observations. Although there are
notable discrepancies between model and observations, the fidelity is sufficient to encourage use of the model for simulations
of future climate change. By using a fixed well-documented model and accurately defining the 1880–2003 forcings, we aim to
provide a benchmark against which the effect of improvements in the model, climate forcings, and observations can be tested.
Principal model deficiencies include unrealistically weak tropical El Nino-like variability and a poor distribution of sea
ice, with too much sea ice in the Northern Hemisphere and too little in the Southern Hemisphere. Greatest uncertainties in
the forcings are the temporal and spatial variations of anthropogenic aerosols and their indirect effects on clouds.

Abstract Shipboard and shore‐based investigation on siliceous and calcareous microfossil biostratigraphy, magneto‐stratigraphy and tephrostratigraphy identified numerous datum events from the sedimentary sequences of Sites 1150 and 1151 drilled on the forearc basin of northern Japan by the Ocean Drilling Program Leg 186. Some 83 datum events were selected to construct new age–depth models for the sites. Based on the reliable magneto‐stratigraphy from the Pleistocene to the Upper Miocene, which were correlated to the standard geomagnetic polarity timescale, and on excellent records of diatom and radiolarian biostratigraphy throughout the sequences, the shipboard age model was revised. Major revisions referred to stratigraphic position of the Miocene–Pliocene boundary that has been shifted more than 200 m downward in each sequence. The age–depth relations of the forearc sites represent drastic changes in the sedimentation rate—extremely high (40 cm/k.y. on average) in the Early Pliocene and low (less than 2 cm/k.y. on average) in the Middle Miocene—and several hiatuses exist throughout the sequence. The drastic changes can be related mostly to changes in diatom sedimentation and the tectonics of the Japanese Island Arc. Local ages for some foraminiferal, calcareous nannofossil and radiolarian bioevents are estimated from the age–depth models at each site. These newly calibrated bioevents and biozones as well as established diatom biostratigraphy are incorporated into the updated magneto‐biochronologic timescale, which will contribute to an improvement in biochronologic accuracy of Neogene sediments in northern Japan and adjacent areas. 相似文献
The behavior of a granite subject to a triaxial compression test ranging from the prefailure stage to the postfailure stage was studied using a fluorescent technique from the geological point of view. Microscopic observations of the specimens at different stages showed changes in the failure process. The start of formation of new microcracks paralleled the compression direction through their propagation until the onset of faulting and ended with the failure of shear zones after the strength failure point. Pores chiefly identified in the feldspar increased in length and width in the early stages, but not in number. It seems that the effect of pore spaces did not have any effect of failure. The microcracks generated on angular edges of quartz or feldspar grains and around biotite grains with increasing compression force. The phenomenon appearing on the crystal boundaries among biotite and quartz or feldspar agrees with the result calculated based on the theory on stress fields with ellipsoidal inhomogeneity suggested by Eshelby. 相似文献
The 1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu (Kobe) earthquake brought about enormous damage to structures in the Hanshin and Awaji areas. In this paper the importance of investigating the relationship between ground motion and structural damage is pointed out.
Strong seismic motion was observed at the NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone) Building during this earthquake. The structural damage to this building was relatively slight. In order to evaluate the relationship between ground motion and structural damage, it is necessary to assess the effects of the soil–structure interaction. In this study, the seismic response of the building and of the surface soil were evaluated by means of a nonlinear soil–structure interaction analysis using FEM.
It was found that, the nonlinearity of surface soil near the building had a great effect on the soil–structure interaction, especially the rocking of the building. 相似文献
