Using earthquakes relocated in north‐east Taiwan, we estimated b‐value distribution along a cross‐section located near the Ryukyu slab edge, and four b‐value anomalous areas are evidenced: (1) a high b‐value body lying on top of a low Vp, low Vs and high Vp/Vs sausage‐like body was considered as a region of enhanced partial melt or water supply above which seismicity occurs; (2) beneath the Ilan Plain, an anomalous area characterized by b‐values slightly higher than 1.1 might give evidence to the magma conduits to the Kueishantao Island; (3) above the Ryukyu Wadati‐Benioff zone, at depths ranging from 90 to 110 km, a high b‐value anomaly might correspond to the depth where dehydration occurs in the subducting oceanic plate; and (4) a low b‐value area located within the Ryukyu slab, at depths ranging from 70 to 90 km, might be linked to the compressive mechanisms shown by focal mechanisms and the bending of the subducting plate. 相似文献
With a detailed study on petrology, mineralogy and geochemistry of some important Ordovician carbonate well core samples in Tazhong uplift of Tarim Basin, the distinguishing symbols of hydrothermal karstification are first put forward as the phenomena of rock hot depigmentation, hot cataclasm and the appearance of typical hydrothermal minerals such as fluorite, barite, pyrite, quartz and sphalerite. The main homogenization temperatures of primary fluid inclusions in fluorite are from 260 to 310°C, indicating the temperature of hydrothermal fluid. The fluid affected the dissolved rocks and showed typical geochemistry features with low contents of Na and Mg, and high contents of Fe, Mn and Si. The ratio of 3He/4He is 0.02Ra, indicating the fluid from the typical continental crust. The hydrothermal fluid karstification pattern may be described as follows: the hot fluid is from the Permian magma, containing dissolving ingredients of CO2 and H2S, and shifts along fault, ruptures and unconformity, and dissolves the surrounding carbonates while it flows. The mechanism of hydrothermal karstification is that the mixture of two or more fluids, which have different ion intensity and pH values, becomes a new unsaturated fluid to carbonates. The hydrothermal karstification is an important process to form hypo-dissolved pinholes in Ordovician carbonates of Tazhong uplift of Tarim Basin, and the forming of hydrothermal minerals also has favorable influence on carbonate reservoirs.
We present Galaxy Evolution Explorer ( GALEX ) far-ultraviolet (FUV) and near-ultraviolet (NUV) imaging of the nearby early-type galaxy NGC 2974, along with complementary ground-based optical imaging. In the ultraviolet, the galaxy reveals a central spheroid-like component and a newly discovered complete outer ring of radius 6.2 kpc, with suggestions of another partial ring at an even larger radius. Blue FUV–NUV and UV-optical colours are observed in the centre of the galaxy and from the outer ring outwards, suggesting young stellar populations (≲1 Gyr) and recent star formation in both locations. This is supported by a simple stellar population model which assumes two bursts of star formation, allowing us to constrain the age, mass fraction and surface mass density of the young component pixel by pixel. Overall, the mass fraction of the young component appears to be just under 1 per cent (lower limit, uncorrected for dust extinction). The additional presence of a nuclear and an inner ring (radii 1.4 and 2.9 kpc, respectively), as traced by [O iii ] emission, suggests ring formation through resonances. All three rings are consistent with a single pattern speed of 78 ± 6 km s−1 kpc−1, typical of S0 galaxies and only marginally slower than expected for a fast bar if traced by a small observed surface brightness plateau. This thus suggests that star formation and morphological evolution in NGC 2974 at the present epoch are primarily driven by a rotating asymmetry (probably a large-scale bar), despite the standard classification of NGC 2974 as an E4 elliptical. 相似文献
为探究不同光谱下许氏平鲉的消化代谢水平及外周激素节律,在5种光谱(红光、绿光、黄光、蓝光、白光,光周期12L∶12D)下,通过对许氏平鲉的血清、肠道、肝脏进行24 h (8:00,12:00,16:00,20:00,24:00)取样,结果显示:不同的光谱下许氏平鲉的消化代谢酶活性除胰蛋白酶(TRY)外均具有节律性,红光、黄光下α-淀粉酶(α-AMS)、脂肪酶(LPS)活性的峰值相位与白光组相比左移;胰蛋白酶活性无时间差异性;在绿光、黄光及红光下乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)活性的峰值相位与白光组相比发生左移,在五种光谱环境中,红、黄光影响消化酶活性峰值提前出现;丙酮酸激酶(PK)活性在绿、蓝及红光下峰值相位左移;己糖激酶(HK)的活性在绿、蓝、黄光下,其峰值相位与白光组相比发生左移,在五种光谱环境中,绿、蓝光影响代谢酶活性类峰值提前出现。许氏平鲉血清中褪黑素含量呈现昼低夜高分泌水平;皮质醇的含量表现为在白天降低,午夜显著升高至最高值后又持续降低。峰值相位的改变预示着生理节律的变动,以上结果表明不同光谱可以影响鱼类的生理代谢节律,在今后养殖过程中需要充分考虑光谱对养殖生物的生物学作用,进而制定更为合理的光照条件。 相似文献
