A tangential wind profile for simulating strong tropical cyclones with MM5

A new tangential wind profile for simulating strong tropical cyclones is put forward and planted into the NCARAFWA tropical cyclone bogussing scheme in MM5. The scheme for the new profile can make full use of the information from routine typhoon reports, including not only the maximum wind, but also the additional information of the wind speeds of 25.7 and 15.4 ms^-1 and their corresponding radii, which are usually provided for strong cyclones. Thus, the new profile can be used to describe the outer structure of cyclones more accurately than by using the earlier scheme of MM5 in which only the maximum wind speed is considered. Numerical experimental forecasts of two strong tropical cyclones are performed to examine the new profile. Results show that by using the new profile the prediction of both cyclones‘ intensity can be obviously improved, but the effects on the track prediction of the two cyclones are different. It seems that the new profile might be more suitable for strong cyclones with shifted tracks. However, the conclusion is drawn from only two typhoon cases, so more cases are needed to evaluate the new profile.

第四纪以来天津北部燕山隆升与山前盆地的形成*

文中报道了天津市北部燕山山前地带共4个高岩心采取率钻孔的沉积学、地层学、年代学和微体古生物综合研究。420个热退磁样品的磁倾角曲线显示,具147 m厚松散地层的标准孔Z3孔下部地层属于2.58 Ma的松山(Matuyama)极性带。随着地壳沉降,只是从早更新世,冲积扇侧缘泥质沉积物才开始充填了底砾岩层之上的沉积空间,形成广义的山前盆地中的泛滥平原;与传统上视为上新统特征沉积的红棕色黏土类似的亮黄橙-黄橙色-亮红棕色黏土,延续出现到早更新世中期,当时区域沉降中心位于距离山前断裂不足4 km处。0.78 Ma以来的布容(Brunhes)极性带厚57.8 m。谨慎地依据120 ka的布莱克(Blake)亚时确定上更新统后,可见中更新统大部缺失,与天津市区沧县隆起和北京永定河冲积平原南部所见此时的地层间断十分相近。3个钻孔的7个¹⁴C测年数据证实,距离山前断裂不足2 km的钻孔45 ka以来的地层最厚达41 m;显示自MIS3初始期,沉降中心向北迁移更靠近山前断裂,且在构造断裂作用下形成了新的狭义的山前盆地。研究区可见15 ka富有机质黏土及上覆泥炭,表明末次冰消期开始的气候转暖首先影响到华北平原山前地区。此项工作为研究晚新生代以来“源到汇”过程中渤海湾西岸的沉降提供了一个基准点。     

生物碎屑灰岩差异成岩及储集层特征:以伊拉克HF油田白垩系Mishirif组为例*

中东地区白垩系Mishirif组以生物碎屑灰岩为主,其形成于温暖潮湿的环境中。综合利用岩心、铸体薄片、全岩分析、常规物性及高压压汞等资料,以伊拉克HF油田Mishrif组为例,开展生物碎屑类型、分布特征、差异成岩及储集层特征等研究。Mishrif组灰岩中生物碎屑以底栖有孔虫、非固着类双壳类、厚壳蛤和棘皮动物为主,含少量苔藓动物、藻类与海绵动物,其含量、类型及大小对沉积环境有重要指示意义。沉积环境决定岩石组分与结构的差异,在此基础上成岩作用控制岩石的孔隙结构与物性特征。生物碎屑主要经历了不同程度海水环境的泥晶化和生物钻孔、大气淡水环境的溶蚀和胶结、埋藏环境的压实压溶和颗粒破裂作用。以底栖有孔虫和非固着类双壳类碎屑为主的低能沉积环境具有“弱溶蚀、强胶结、强压实”的成岩特征,主要发育微孔、晶间孔及粒内孔,孔喉分布呈偏细态细微喉单峰型,物性较差;以厚壳蛤和棘皮动物碎屑为主的高能沉积环境具有“强溶蚀、弱胶结”的成岩特征,主要发育铸模孔、粒间孔及粒间溶孔,孔喉分布呈偏粗态中粗喉极宽峰型,是Mishrif组最有利储集层。以HF油田Mishrif组为代表的白垩系生物碎屑灰岩在中东地区发育广泛,故上述成果对于该地区生物碎屑灰岩油气开发具有重要意义。     

黑龙江省东部早古生代晨明组物源区特征及其构造背景

为揭示黑龙江省东部早古生代晨明组沉积物源区特征及其沉积构造背景,对晨明组进行了地球化学特征研究。结果表明：晨明组岩石样品化学蚀变指数（I_CA）值和斜长石蚀变指数（I_PA）值较低、成分变异指数（I_CV）值中等偏高,指示晨明组沉积物来源于不成熟的物质源区,并经历了较弱的化学风化作用和活动构造背景下的初次循环;LREE富集、HREE稳定和明显的负Eu异常,指示沉积物源区物质具有明显的上地壳特征且沉积物源岩为长英质火成岩;主量、微量和稀土元素特征共同指示晨明组形成于活动大陆边缘环境或大陆岛弧环境。结合前人研究成果,判定晨明组沉积物来源于经历了弱-中等程度化学风化作用的早古生代花岗质岩,沉积构造背景可能为靠近大陆岛弧的活动大陆边缘环境。     

文蛤亮氨酸氨肽酶LAP3的基因克隆及其在幼体不同发育时期、成体不同组织的表达分析

为探索贝类LAP3基因的结构和功能特征以及在生长发育过程中的作用,利用cDNA末端快速扩增（RACE）法获得文蛤LAP3（Mm-LAP3）基因的cDNA全长序列,并对其生物信息学、组织及发育时期表达特征进行了分析。结果显示,Mm-LAP3基因cDNA全长2 037 bp,ORF区1 254 bp,编码417个氨基酸;Mm-LAP3蛋白由Peptidase_M17超家族序列的N-端结构域和Peptidase_M17催化结构域组成。荧光实时定量PCR结果表明,Mm-LAP3基因在文蛤成体6个组织和幼体10个发育时期中均有表达,其中在斧足中的表达量显著高于其他组织（P<0.05）,这与斧足蛋白含量丰富、代谢旺盛相关;在幼体10个发育时期中的表达量呈现逐渐升高的趋势,在D形幼虫时期达到最高,随后又有所降低,推测Mm-LAP3基因在早期发育时期参与了某些组织器官的形成。

Laboratory study on cement admixed marine silt bricks

For the purpose of efficient utilization of sediments dredged from harbor, a new method was proposed in this study. Marine silt bricks were made by mixing sediments with cement and gypsum, placing it in a cubic mold with 240 mm in length, 115 mm in width, and 53 mm in height, and curing for certain days. To investigate the effects of cement and initial water content of soil on the mechanical behavior of marine silt bricks, unconfined compressive and flexural strength tests were carried out. Given the same curing time and cement content, the higher the initial water content, the lower the compressive and flexural strength. After 60 days of curing, the compressive strength of marine silt bricks with cement content = 20% and water content = LL (liquid limit) reached approximately 5 MPa. The flexural strength was relatively low. The flexural strength of marine silt bricks with 20% cement and water content = LL was around 1.5 MPa. The compressive and flexural strength decreased with the increase of water/cement ratio. As for the curing time, longer curing time had a positive impact on the compressive strength. The ratio of flexural to compressive strength varied slightly in the range of 0.4–0.5.     

Prediction of one-dimensional compression behavior of Nansha clay using fractional derivatives

Nansha clay is an interactive marine and terrestrial deposited soft clay that is widely spread in Guangzhou, Pearl River Delta, China. To avoid excessive settlement after construction, there is a need for better quantifying the time-dependent deformation of the soft clay. This paper presents a preliminary study to predict the one-dimensional compression of Nansha clay using fractional derivatives. A fractional Merchant model was introduced to describe the time-dependent settlement, and analytical solutions were obtained in terms of the Mittag-Leffler function. The oedometer test results were presented to validate this model. Compared with classical rheological models, the fractional derivative-based model enabled close estimation of the one-dimensional compression with fewer parameters. The meaning of the order of fractional derivative and its relationship with the clay physical properties were explored. It shows that a smaller value of this order corresponded to a higher coefficient of consolidation and a lower coefficient of secondary consolidation. The amplitude of both the primary and secondary consolidation of clay may be estimated quantitatively by the order of fractional derivative. Taken together, these results may open up new avenues for theoretical and empirical modeling of rheological phenomena in clay using fractional derivatives.
