This paper presents a study of the usefulness of flood layers as a time marker in sediments and a report of a case study of
Lake Kizaki in central Japan. A flood layer can be identified as a layer having a higher density, coarser grain size, lower
TN content, and higher C/N ratio than those of the upper and lower horizons. It can also be characterized by a hyperpycnal
sequence composed of a basal coarsening-upward unit and a top fining-upward unit. When flood layers can be correlated with
heavy rains in meteorological records, detailed age markers are well established in the sediment. Five flood layers were identified
in the surface sediment of Lake Kizaki, and they could be attributed to the historical heavy rainfalls that took place on
July 12, 1995; September 28, 1983; August 25, 1974; September 26, 1959; and September 1, 1949 under the constraint of an age
model. A precise age model is essential to clarify the environmental changes such as the pollutant history in detail. 相似文献

In Al Qasim Province, Saudi Arabia, calcareous pedogenic duricrust overlies the Upper Permian carbonates and clays of the Khuff Formation, and ranges in thickness from 60 cm to 2 m. It consists of white sandy duricrust capped by brown, nodular porous duricrust. Petrographic investigation led to recognition of three lithofacies that show spatial distribution: 1- structureless sandy calcareous mudstone, 2- brecciated-nodular calcareous mudstone, and 3- pisolitic calcareous mudstone. The diagenetic changes in duricrust are aggrading neomorphism and formation of calcite rims around quartz grains. Microprobe chemical analysis was performed on the diagenetically altered material. The development of the duricrust is controlled by four factors: the climate changes, the type of underlying rocks, source of carbonate and biological effects. The repeated changes from semi-arid climate with alternating wet and dry seasons are the main controlling factor, in generation of duricrust development. During humid periods, descending water carries the dissolved carbonates downward as bicarbonates, whereas dry and interpluvial period, the carbonate-rich solutions are carried upwards by capillary or evaporation. The claystone and sandstone interbeds possibly affect the development of calcareous duricrust, more than the sandstones and dolostones, because the former have the ability to attach calcium carbonate to form the duricrust. The development of calcareous duricrust is mainly attributed to the Pleistocene and Early Holocene alternating humid and arid periods that prevailed over the Arabian Peninsula during this time. 相似文献

A two-dimensional numerical model witha simplified land-use paramaterizationis used to investigate the effects of land usetopography on local circulationsystems. A criterion is presented indicating therelative importance of land use onlocal circulations.Land-use contrast in the numerical model is parameterized by moisture availability and roughness length. Numerical experiments were carried out under various atmospheric stabilities with various dimensions for the mountains.Numerical results show the following: (1) Anabatic winds prevail in high mountains,while the land–land breeze is stronger when the horizontal contrast of the heat fluxfrom each land surface is large. (2) In the early morning, anabatic winds tend to prevailover land–land breezes, but the land–land breeze tends to prevail in the later afternoon.(3) While atmospheric stability has a large influence on the mesoscale circulation, thehorizontal scale of the mountain is not as important for the intensity of the mesoscalecirculation. (4) In strong stable conditions or weak insolation, the anabatic wind tendsto be more active than the land–land breeze; namely, the heat flux from inhomogeneousland use becomes a less important factor for the generation of a mesoscale disturbancethan the orographic forcing in the case of strong atmospheric stability. (5) The predominantmesoscale circulation is predicted by a criterion based upon the horizontal adjustmenttheory of the mixed layer. The criterion proposed in this study is based on the mountainheight, the ratio of the heat flux from the different land use patterns, the atmospheric staticstability, and the time-integrated heat flux. The criterion gives results that generally agreewith the numerical results. 相似文献

The crystal structure of a synthetic CaFe3+Al-SiO6 pyroxene (20 kb, 1,375° C) with unit cell dimensions a=9.7797(16), b=8.7819(14), c=5.3685(5) Å, =105.78(1), space group C2/c has been refined by the method of least squares to an R-factor of 0.025 based on 812 reflections measured on an automatic single crystal diffractometer. The octahedral M1 site is occupied by 0.82 Fe3+ and 0.18 Al3+. Within the tetrahedral T site, Si4+ (0.50), Al3+ (0.41) and Fe3+ (0.09) ions are completely disordered, although submicroscopic domains with short-range order are very likely. The octahedral site preference energy of the Fe3+ ions with respect to Al3+ ions in CaFe3+AlSiO6 is about 10 kcal/mole, which is much higher than that found in Y3Al

Fe5–2O12 garnets. Topologically the structure of CaFe3+AlSiO6 is intermediate between that of diopside and calcium Tschermak's pyroxene, CaAlAlSiO6. For CaM3+ AlSiO6 clinopyroxenes an increase in the size of the M1 octahedron is accompanied by an increase in the average M2-0, bridging T-0 and 03-03 distances and kinking of the tetrahedral chain. 相似文献

Structural, morphological, magnetic, and thermal properties have been investigated for a novel post-perovskite oxide CaPtO3 synthesized under high pressure. By comparing obtained structural parameters with those for known post-perovskite compounds,
we argue that the chemical bond has a strong covalent character. Precise measurements of the Langevin susceptibility χ
