Microearthquake spectra from the Shillong region are analyzed to observe the effect of attenuation and site on these spectra. The spectral ratio method is utilized to estimate the Q values for both P- and S-waves in the subsurface layer, wherein the ratio of spectral amplitudes at lower and higher frequencies are taken into consideration for three stations at varying epicentral distances. Average estimates of Q P and Q S are 178 and 195. The ratio of Q S to Q P is estimated to be greater than 1 in major parts of the Shillong area, which can be related to the dry crust prevailing in the Shillong region. Typically, the variation in corner frequencies for these spectra is inferred to be characteristic of the site. Simultaneously, observations from spectral content of local earthquakes recorded at two different stations with respect to the reference site yield greater amplification of incoming seismic signals in the frequency range of 2–5 Hz, which is found to be well supported by the existing local lithology pertinent to that region. 相似文献

The river Narmada is a major source of fresh water for the highly populated areas, predominantly the rural populations in Madhya Pradesh (Central India) and Gujarat (Western India). Modernization and industrialization in these areas have become a matter of concern due to changing environment and increasing social activities that influence the quality of water directly or indirectly. This investigation was undertaken to evaluate the quality of water along the banks of the river Narmada at different sampling sites using physico-chemical and bacteriological methods. The samples collected were analyzed per standard method parameters and were measured in situ. The correlation matrix indicated strong mutual dependency between the measured parameters (P < 0.05). Principal components analysis of the data indicates that two components (PC1 and PC2) influence the water quality to the extent of 57.4, 64.5 and 61.0% during rainy, winter and summer seasons, respectively. The mean values of the physico-chemical parameters of the river water samples were consistently higher than the levels certified by the World Health Organization and other regulatory bodies as polluted water. The presence of coliform bacteria in the water samples warrants for proper measures to reduce the pollution at point sources and requires proper remediation strategies to combat contamination in the river water. 相似文献

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of river systems in the Lower Siwalik sequence has enabled characterization of channel
patterns, river metamorphosis and resulting sandstone body evolution in time and space. Processes related six lithofacies
repeat to generate 8–10 m thick multistoried sandstone complexes deposited in perennial channel belts. Based on lateral mapping
of the sandstone bodies, the surfaces of genetic significance ranging from 3rd, 4th and 5th order, suggest presence of meandering, braided and anastomosing river patterns that were responsible for the Lower Siwalik
sedimentation. Variation in local base-level in response to allogenic factors including climate and tectonics forced river
systems to acquire different patterns. Eustasy seems to control large-scale basin level changes.
Quantitatively reconstructed morphological parameters and their comparison with modern and ancient analogues, supported by
other independent evidences such as stratigraphical position of sandstone bodies in vertically measured columns and mineralogical
characteristics of channel sandstones, enabled to decipher the geomorphic positioning of the Lower Siwalik channels in distal
parts of megafan and interfluve areas within the foreland basin setting. 相似文献

Effects of paper mill wastes on the status of soil copper (Cu), manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn) in and around 16 sites near a paper mill in Assam, North East India (26°07.485′ to 26°07.915′ N latitude and 92°12.706′ to 92°15.065′ E longitude), have been investigated in the present study. The six-step sequential extraction techniques revealed that the water-soluble fraction had the least contribution (below detectable limit to 3.24 mg kg?1 of Cu, 13.87 mg kg?1 of Mn and 1.25 mg kg?1 of Zn) towards soil contamination, irrespective of the metals evaluated. Chemical fractionation of Cu, Mn and Zn in majority of the sampling locations showed non-homogenous orders of contamination. Comparison of the magnitude of local and individual heavy metal contamination factors against global values showed that the places near the paper mill waste disposal site displayed higher potential risk from metal contamination. Furthermore, the mobility factor related to ecotoxicity of soil environment was found to be metal specific and depended not only on total metal concentration but also on the nature of metal in the order Mn > Cu > Zn. 相似文献

New bio-adsorbent carbon materials were synthesized from the leaves and veins of Mucuna pruriens and Manihot esculenta plants, which are locally available in abundance. The synthesized carbons were activated using 0.01N HNO3. Surface area of the activated carbons from M. pruriens and M. esculenta plants was found to be quite high, i.e., 918 and 865 m2/g, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy analysis of the carbons reflects complex disorganized surface structures of different open pore sizes, shapes and dimensions. These properties of the newly synthesized activated carbons led to the development of a sand-supported carbon column, for its possible use in the removal of coliform bacteria and Escherichia coli (E. Coli) from raw water samples. The removal percentage of E. coli was found to be 100% with both the types of carbon adsorbents, as confirmed from the McCardy most probable number table. Similarly, the removal percentage of coliform bacteria was found to be 99 and 98.7% by M. pruriens and M. esculenta carbon columns, respectively. These activated carbons synthesized from locally available plants possess the characteristics of good low-cost adsorbents which can be easily used for the removal of bacteria from water by adsorption method. 相似文献

Using two-dimensional linear water wave theory, we consider the problem of normal water wave (internal wave) propagation over
small undulations in a channel flow consisting of a two-layer fluid in which the upper layer is bounded by a fixed wall, an
approximation to the free surface, and the lower one is bounded by a bottom surface that has small undulations. The effects
of surface tension at the surface of separation is neglected. Assuming irrotational motion, a perturbation analysis is employed
to calculate the first-order corrections to the velocity potentials in the two-layer fluid by using Green’s integral theorem
in a suitable manner and the reflection and transmission coefficients in terms of integrals involving the shape function c(x) representing the bottom undulation. Two special forms of the shape function are considered for which explicit expressions
for reflection and transmission coefficients are evaluated. For the specific case of a patch of sinusoidal ripples having
the same wave number throughout, the reflection coefficient up to the first order is an oscillatory function in the quotient
of twice the interface wave number and the ripple wave number. When this quotient approaches one, the theory predicts a resonant
interaction between the bed and the interface, and the reflection coefficient becomes a multiple of the number of ripples.
High reflection of the incident wave energy occurs if this number is large. Again, when a patch of sinusoidal ripples having
two different wave numbers for two consecutive stretches is considered, the interaction between the bed and the interface
near resonance attains in the neighborhood of two (singular) points along the x-axis (when the ripple wave number of the bottom undulation become approximately twice as large as the interface wave number).
The theoretical observations are presented in graphical form. 相似文献

In this study, an attempt is made to determine seismic velocity structure of the crust and upper mantle beneath the Shillong-Mikir
Hills Plateau in northeast India region. The principle of the technique is to relate seismic travel times with crustal thickness
above the Conrad and Moho discontinuities. Broadband digital waveforms of the local earthquakes make a precise detection of
the seismic phases possible that are reflected at these discontinuities. The results show that the Conrad discontinuity is
at 18–20 (±0.5) km beneath the Shillong-Mikir Hills Plateau and the Moho discontinuity is at 30 ± 1.0 km beneath the Shillong
Plateau and at 35 ± 1.0 km beneath the Mikir Hills. 相似文献

The addition of cementitious admixtures and/or inclusion of fibers are frequently used in practice to stabilize soils and to improve their mechanical properties. In this study, ring shear tests were conducted to investigate mechanical properties such as shear strength, angle of friction and cohesion values of randomly distributed discrete fiber-reinforced sand mixtures. The length and aspect ratio of the fibers used in the current study were 12 mm and 120, respectively. Specimens were prepared at four different fiber ratios (0.1, 0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 % by weight of sand). A series of ring shear tests were carried out on sand alone and fiber-reinforced sand mixtures at different normal stresses. The test results indicated that the addition of fiber had a significant effect on the shear strength of the sand. Shear stress of the unreinforced sand increases 1.29–2.32, 1.16–1.39, and 1.07–1.5 times at a normal stress of 50, 150, and 250 kPa, respectively with fiber inclusion. Fiber content had positive effects on improving the shear strength parameters (angle of internal friction and cohesion) of the mixtures. The cohesion and angle of internal friction of fiber-reinforced sand prepared at different ratios of fiber increased by 5.3–27.4 kPa and 2.0°–7.3° respectively. The inclusion of fibers improves the ductility of the soil by preventing the loss of post-peak strength. 相似文献
