太古宙洋脊更长,扩张更快吗?

较热的早期地球通过板块构造机制消散较多的热量,一般来说总是通过较新岩石圈的消减。原则上这一过程可以由更长洋脊的快速扩张及其某些结合来完成,但是,目前的证据表明,新的大洋岩石圈比老的消减更慢。如果在太古宙也是这样,合适的解释就是“洋脊更长”。得到的定量表达式说明大洋的热散失与洋脊长度的立方根成比例,这一关系意味着如果太古宙热流是现在的3倍,那么就需要27倍于现在的洋脊长度,这说明在太古宙地球表面覆盖着许多移动缓慢的小板块。     

天气与气候的界限

分清天气和气候之间的区别是必要的。为此,本文提出了天气和气候的定义。这些定义,可用于合理地讨论气候变化性与气候变迁的概念,并曾被最近的世界气候会议所采用。目前,从人们对气候和气候变化方面的兴趣来看,需要对天气和气候重新下定义,从而得出这两个概念的清楚界限。假如这些定义是有用的,而且得到承认,那末,它们应当尽可能符合共同的理解和实际,而不是取决

Lysosomal membrane stability and metallothioneins in digestive gland of Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis Lam.) as biomarkers in a field study

The lysosomal membrane destabilization and the metallothionein content in the digestive gland cells of mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis Lam.), collected along the east coast of the North Adriatic (Istrian and Kvarnerine coast, Croatia), were examined over a period of four years (1996–1999). The lysosomal membrane stability, as a biomarker of general stress, showed that the membrane labilization period in mussels from polluted, urban- and industrial-related areas was significantly decreased (p<0.05) when compared to mussels from control, clean sea water sites. In the harbour of Rijeka, the most contaminated site, the lysosomal membrane stability was reduced by more than 70% compared to the control. This method also proved to be a useful biomarker for detection of additional stress caused by short-term hypoxia that occurred once during this study inside the polluted and periodically quite eutrophic Pula Harbour. The concentration of metallothioneins in the mussel digestive gland, as a specific biomarker of exposure to heavy metals, did not reveal significant differences (p<0.05) between sites covered by this study.     

STRUCTURE AND COMPOSITION OF A WATERSHED-SCALE SEDIMENT INFORMATION NETWORK

A "Watershed-Scale Sediment Information Network" (WaSSIN), designed to complement UNESCO’s International Sedimentation Initiative, was endorsed as an initial project by the World Association for Sedimentation and Erosion Research. WaSSIN is to address global fluvial-sediment information needs through a network approach based on consistent protocols for the collection, analysis, and storage of fluvial-sediment and ancillary information at smaller spatial scales than those of the International Sedimentation Initiative. As a second step of implementation, it is proposed herein that the WaSSIN have a general structure of two components, (1) monitoring and data acquisition and (2) research. Monitoring is to be conducted in small watersheds, each of which has an established database for discharge of water and suspended sediment and possibly for bed load, bed material, and bed topography. Ideally, documented protocols have been used for collecting, analyzing, storing, and sharing the derivative data. The research component is to continue the collection and interpretation of data, to compare those data among candidate watersheds, and to determine gradients of fluxes and processes among the selected watersheds. To define gradients and evaluate processes, the initial watersheds will have several common attributes. Watersheds of the first group will be: (1) six to ten in number, (2) less than 1000 km2 in area, (3) generally in mid-latitudes of continents, and (4) of semiarid climate. Potential candidate watersheds presently include the Weany Creek Basin, northeastern Australia, the Zhi Fanggou catchment, northern China, the Eshtemoa Watershed, southern Israel, the Metsemotlhaba River Basin, Botswana, the Aiuaba Experimental Basin, Brazil, and the Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed, southwestern United States.     

机载GPS自适应天线阵的测量结果

共形安装的机载GPS自适应天线阵的性能会受到阵列单元和飞机机身之间相互作用的影响。本文将介绍安装在比例为1：8的F－16飞机模型机身上的7单元微带贴片天线自适应阵列的设计和测量结果，以便评估这种天线阵与飞机间的相互作用及其在将多部宽带干扰机调零时对阵列性能的影响。自适应天线阵工作在12.6GHz的频率上，带宽为160MHz，分别是GPS L1频率和带宽的8倍。所有7个单元的远场天线方向图均在近场天线范围内的成比例频段上作了测量。为了更好地了解机体对天线方向图的影响，我们还将对隔离微带贴片单元测出的方向图与根据OSU－NEWAIR程序（code)计算出的天线方向图作了比较，OSU－NEWAIR程序使用均匀衍射理论来分析天线与机身间的相互作用。比较的结果表明，测量得的方向图和计算出的方向图之间具有良好的一致性。从这些缩比模型测量中收集的数据正在用来测试MITRE（麻省理工学院研究小组）开发的时空自适应调零算法在多部宽带干扰机相对飞机不同取向时的有效性。为了证明这种阵列在有两部窄带干扰机时使用简化直接矩阵求逆算法的调零能力，我们还进行了一些测量。测出的自适应阵列方向性图与理论上的预测十分吻合。文章还阐明了缩比模型测试的优点，以验证机载自适应阵列的调零性能。

足尺磁流变阻尼器的建模及动态特性

在过去三十年左右的时间里,结构保护系统受到了广大研究者的普遍关注.这种保护系统可以用来降低自然灾害(如地震、强风)对上木工程建筑的损害.由于磁流变阻尼器机械结构简单,动态范围大,能耗低,回复力大,鲁棒性良好,能够在满足不同工程项目需求的同时提供有效的结构抗震抗风手段,目前它是一种非常有前途的半主动结构减震装置.本文首先介绍了磁流变液体和装置的主要特性和优点,建立了磁流变阻尼器的伪静力轴对称模型,并将其结果和平行板模型以及阻尼器实验结果进行了比较.尽管伪静力模型对于阻尼器的设计十分有效,但是它们还不足以描述阻尼器的动态特性.对实际工程应用来说,动态响应时间是一项非常重要的性能指标.文章还讨论了影响磁流变阻尼器动态响应时间的因素,建立了基于Bouc-Wen模型的阻尼器动态模型.同时文章也提出了优化阻尼器动态响应的途径和方法以及其实验验证.
