Using the Ge centers of quartz sediments, the buried ages of fluvial sediments were determined by ESR technique. The ESR ages obtained from Ge centers are consistent with the TL ages, correspond with their horizons, accord with the geological background, and every ESR age is available. In this paper, determination of total dose of natural radiation (TD) and the reliability of ESR age using Ge center are also discussed. 相似文献
In this paper, a new approach for studying Hubble diagrams of quasars is introduced. The purpose is to reduce the well-known
very large scatter in the diagram. We believe that the scatter is mainly caused by the wide spread of luminosity distribution
of quasars. Based on a large number of quasars having been discovered, we introduce a new quantity, the collective apparent
magnitude of certain amount of quasars in a corresponding redshift interval, and make a plot of the collective apparent magnitude
versus redshift with the data published by Hewitt and Burbidge (1993). The quantity is contributed by individual apparent
luminosities as well as the luminosity distribution of quasars. Scatter is expected to be largely reduced in the corresponding
diagram, and this is indeed true as shown by the figures. By discussing several possible effects and from the figures, we
find that the assumption that redshifts of quasars are distance indicators is confirmed, and the standard cosmological model
is supported.

Sampling was carried out at Baishui No. 1, the largest glacier on Mt. Yulong, China, during the summers of 1999 and 2000, to investigate the spatial variations of oxygen isotopes in the atmosphere-glacier-river system. The results confirm that there is an inverse relation between the oxygen isotopic composition of precipitation and air temperature/precipitation amount. This suggests that a strong “precipitation amount effect” exists in this typical monsoon temperate-glacier region. There are marked differences of the δ18O values of winter-accumulated snow, glacial meltwater, summer precipitation and the glacier-fed river water. Spatial and temporal variations of isotopic composition are controlled by climatic conditions. Isotopic fractionation and differentiation occur during phase changes, snow-to-ice and ice-to-meltwater transformations, and runoff processes. Variations of stable isotopes in glacier runoff can indicate variations of sources of supply, as well as different discharge-related processes. Ionic changes occur as a result of meltwater contact with glacier bed materials.
