Eccentric Eclipsing Binary YY Sagittarii

Seven new precise times of minimum light have been gathered for the triple eccentric eclipsing binary YY Sgr (P = 2^d.63, e = 0.16). Its O--C diagram is presented and improved elements of the apsidal motion and the light-time effect are given. We found a new short period of the third body of about 18.5 years in an eccentric orbit (e ₃ ≃ 0.4).     

Filtration and prediction of inhomogeneous anomalous geophysical potential fields

Summary A mathematical model for optimum prediction, filtration and simultaneous prediction and filtration of the fields considered has been constructed using Hilbert spaces with a reproduction kernel, formed by the covariance function of the observed anomalous geophysical potential field under the assumption that the field is an inhomogeneous random function.     

On one method of solving the three-dimensional direct magnetic problem

Summary The solution of the direct magnetic problem is derived for three-dimensional bodies under the assumption that the components of the magnetization vector are analytical functions of the co-ordinates within the body being considered. The solution to the problem is given in the form of Green-type integrals and, much like with gravitational fields of inhomogeneous bodies, it may serve the purpose of solving the problem of the analytical continuation of the external field into the body.     

Autocovariance function and the spectral density of the anomalous gravitational field,transformed by an integral operator of the convolution type

Summary The transfer of the fundamental statistical characteristics, i.e. covariance function and the density of the statistical power spectrum, of a random homogeneous field across a linear homogeneous filter is investigated. The results obtained are applied to the study of the said statistical characteristics of transformed anomalous gravitational field.     

Change in the spectrum of a gravity anomaly caused by expressing it discretely

广州市不同类型水体轮虫群落结构的时空变动及与理化因子间的关系

轮虫是水体中重要的浮游生物类群,对环境变化敏感,是水生态系统中食物链及微型食物网的关键环节.于2015年夏季(7月)和冬季(12月)对养殖池塘、水库、广州城市湖泊、珠江河口及珠江河段水域的轮虫和理化环境指标进行了调查分析,共发现轮虫26属、76种,其中裂痕龟纹轮虫(Anuraeopsis fissa)在7月河流水体占绝对优势,但12月数量明显减少.冬季珠江河段和河口水体群落多样性指数与均匀度指数较夏季高,群落结构较夏季稳定.调查水体轮虫丰度范围为33~2625 ind./L,城市湖泊夏季丰度较高,冬季有所下降,而养殖池塘轮虫丰度在冬季有所上升.群落结构相似性分析(ANOSIM)分析表明,不同类型水体之间差异显著,尤以湖泊与河流差异性最大,广布多肢轮虫(Polyarthra vulgaris)在湖泊贡献率最高,暗小异尾轮虫(Trichocerca pusilla)其次;裂痕龟纹轮虫在河流贡献率最高,优势种丰度差异是造成湖泊与河流群落结构差异的主要原因.统计分析表明,轮虫丰度与叶绿素a浓度呈正相关.冗余分析与ANOSIM分析发现广布多肢轮虫在流花湖等叶绿素a浓度较高的静态水体中易形成优势;裂痕龟纹轮虫和角突臂尾轮虫(Brachionus angularis)在珠江河段等总氮和总磷浓度高的富营养化流动水体中易形成优势.综合轮虫群落结构和水质特征,广州市水体富营养化严重,耐污性轮虫种类多,应加强城市水生态系统保护和管理.     

Short Time-Scale Variability in the Light Curve of~TW~Draconis

We have re-analyzed old photometric UBV data obtained by Papoušek et al. at Skalnaté Pleso, Slovakia (1967–1980) and Brno, Czech Republic (1976–1979) observatories and analyzed new own CCD measurements (Brno, 2003–2005). In both set of photometric data the oscillations in the vicinity of the primary minimum were found. The detected periods are compatible with the previously published ones.     

Reconstruction of a large runout landslide in the Krušné hory Mts. (Czech Republic)

The aims of this study were to summarize current knowledge of a large runout prehistoric landslide, critically review all of the existing data and, in particular, gather new data in order to estimate the age of the accumulation and reveal the movement mechanism. The reconstruction of a large rockslide-rock avalanche in the NW part of the Czech Republic was supported by the analysis and interpretation of 216 boreholes and by GIS analysis of the original 1950s pre-mining surface using digitized old military topographic maps. For the age estimation, we used the Schmidt hammer test. The total volume of the quaternary deposit was calculated to be between 25.4 and 27.4 mil m³, occupying an area of 778,000 m² and consisting of six to eight generations of colluvial sediments. Three main landslide events were identified based on extensive Schmidt hammer sampling, and the approximate age was established using a regression equation assembled by Engel (2007). All three of the documented events occurred around the time of significant climate change. The oldest event occurred due to the Oldest Dryas warming, the largest event probably occurred at the end of the Younger Dryas (11,700 yBP), and the youngest of the documented events was purely of a Holocene age, with the highest landslide frequency being during the Atlantic temperature fluctuations (approximately 8200 yBP). The slope deformation occurred on a fault slope with a relative height of over 400 m and in tectonically weakened rocks. Sediments in the Most Basin were weakened from meltwater during rapid warming periods, which allowed mobilization of rockslide deposits and runout of up to 1000 m from the mountain foothills.
