Analysis of frequency shifting in seismic signals using Gabor-Wigner transform

A hybrid time-frequency method known as Gabor-Wigner transform(GWT) is introduced in this paper for examining the time-frequency patterns of earthquake damaged buildings. GWT is developed by combining the Gabor transform(GT) and Wigner-Ville distribution(WVD). GT and WVD have been used separately on synthetic and recorded earthquake data to identify frequency shifting due to earthquake damages, but GT is prone to windowing effect and WVD involves ambiguity function. Hence to obtain better clarity and to remove the cross terms(frequency interference), GT and WVD are judiciously combined and the resultant GWT used to identify frequency shifting. Synthetic seismic response of an instrumented building and real-time earthquake data recorded on the building were investigated using GWT. It is found that GWT offers good accuracy for even slow variations in frequency, good time-frequency resolution, and localized response. Presented results confirm the efficacy of GWT when compared with GT and WVD used separately. Simulation results were quantified by the Renyi entropy measures and GWT shown to be an adequate technique in identifying localized response for structural damage detection.     

无人机核线影像的稀疏匹配与稠密匹配

无人机影像转化为水平核线影像后,能够有效地减少同名点的搜索空间。在此基础上,本文使用SIFT算子进行了稀疏匹配,并用BP算法进行了稠密匹配。结果表明：①SIFT算子获取的同名点比较少,但是计算方法简单,同名点空间坐标精确,适用于大范围获取简要的空间三维信息;②BP算法计算复杂度高,可以获取地物大量的同名点,适用于小范围的地物三维重建。总体而言,两者各有优缺点,在实际的应用中可互补。     

Magnetic and radiometric signatures over a Proterozoic massive sulfide setting of northern fringe of Dalma Volcanics,eastern India: An implication to metallogeny

Magnetic and radiometric surveys were carried out over a felsic dominated rifted margin of Proterozoic volcanic terrain of a mobile belt in the eastern India. The studies were made in blocks I and II of 0.65 sq km and 0.70 sq km respectively over a previously identified conductor in the northern fringe of Dalma Volcanics (DVs). In general, both the blocks show high magnetic signature associated with sulfide mineralisation. The interpretation of magnetic data suggests that nature of the causative source is mainly horizontal cylinder in both the blocks. The depth to the top of the causative source is about 25 m in both the blocks and extends upto 60 m in block I and 40m in block II. Gamma count rate exhibits about a factor of two to three enhancements above the field background for both the blocks. The obtained iso-rad maps are similar to uranium and copper belt in the Singhbhum shear zone south of the study area. The anomalous radiometric signature of the residual soil/rock of the area indicates towards hydrothermal alteration. The detailed magnetic surveys and preliminary iso-rads results seems quite encouraging and may be attributed to VMS setting in the area and potential sulfide mineralisation with uranium mineral association in the DVs province.

内蒙古白音图嘎地区位于西伯利亚板块东南缘晚古生代陆缘增生带,地处二连—贺根山板块对接带西北侧,该区发育大量晚古生代花岗岩,主要岩石类型为斑状二长花岗岩和碱长花岗岩。本文对该区花岗岩进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年和岩石地球化学测试。结果表明:斑状二长花岗岩和碱长花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄分别为302.8±1.3Ma(MSWD=1.4)和301.1±0.6 Ma(MSWD=0.84),属于晚石炭世;岩石地球化学数据显示,岩体属钾玄岩系,具有高硅(SiO_2=70.83%~75.01%),富碱(Na_2O+K_2O=11.58%~13.20%),贫钙(CaO=0.50%~1.22%)和镁(MgO=0.11%~0.33%)特征。铝饱和指数A/CNK=0.81~1.01,为准铝—弱过铝质花岗岩。岩体整体富集Rb、Th、U等大离子亲石元素(LILEs),亏损Ba、Sr以及高场强元素(HFSEs)Nb、Ta、P、Ti;LERR富集,HERR相对亏损,具有明显的负Eu异常(δEu=0.11~0.43)。初始岩浆温度(759.33℃~801.81℃)和岩石地球化学分析表明,白音图嘎花岗岩具有A型花岗岩特征。同时,低的Nb/Ta(7.38~19.50)、Zr/Hf(29.61~35.26)和Sm/Nd(0.22~0.32)比值指示其源岩为壳源。综合研究表明,白音图嘎花岗岩为陆壳变杂砂岩部分熔融的产物,形成于晚石炭世早期西伯利亚板块和华北板块后碰撞作用的板内伸展环境,为兴蒙造山带晚古生代构造岩浆演化及古亚洲洋闭合的时限提供了新的约束和佐证实例。     

Spatial and temporal evolution of community resilience to natural hazards in the coastal areas of China

With the accelerating progress of industrialization, urbanization and population growth in recent decades, community resilience, the ability of communities to function effectively and recover successfully in the aftermath of disasters and shocks, has received great attentions. A number of studies had been conducted focusing on community resilience. This article applied community resilience framework to the coastal areas of China, which are the most densely populated and economically developed areas in China with the most frequent marine disasters. City-level social and economic data were used to construct a community resilience index (CRI). Using factor analysis and the global principal component analysis method, 55 city-level indexes were reduced into 15 factors that explain 73.99% of the variance. Getis–Ord G* Statistics were used to depict the high-value clusters and low-value clusters of the CRI. Clearly identified spatial and temporal variations of the CRI showed that both the overall level and regional differences of the CRI increased from 2003 to 2013; the overall spatial agglomeration characteristic of community resilience was not significant. Our findings also highlighted the key elements to improving community resilience: a robust and developed economic system; excellent education programs and training to improve consciousness on disaster prevention and mitigation; adequate investment on critical infrastructure, especially transportation and communication; proper environmental policies to protect ecosystems and water rouses; and extra attention and disaster risk budgets for vulnerable populations.

Major human Hepatitis A virus genotype in Hong Kong marine waters and detection by real-time PCR

Marine waters from seven sites around Hong Kong with varying levels of sewage pollution were analyzed for Hepatitis A virus (HAV) by PCR cloning and DNA sequencing of the highly variable VP1/2A junction of the HAV genome. Phylogenetic analysis of 10 PCR clones from each of the HAV-positive marine sites indicated that human HAV genotype IB is the most widely distributed type in Hong Kong waters. A sensitive and quantitative TaqMan-based PCR method targeting the 5′-noncoding region (5′-NCR) of HAV was used to quantify HAV particles in marine water samples along with the total Escherichiacoli counts being enumerated on TBX medium for comparison. Our results showed that no correlation of any significance between HAV and E. coli counts was observed which underscores the inadequacy in using E. coli as a sanitary standard to predict the levels of HAV in marine waters.
