Angular momentum and gyroscope in flat space-time theory of gravitation

The study of a previously proposed theory of gravitation in flat space-time (Petry, 1981a) is continued. A conservation law for the angular momentum is derived. Additional to the usual form, there must be added a term coming from the spin of the gravitational field. The equations of motion and of spin angular momentum for a spinning test particle in a gravitational field are given. An approximation of the equations of the spin angular momentum in the rest frame of the test particle is studied. For a gyroscope in an orbit of a rotating massive body (e.g., the Earth) the precession of the spin axis agrees with the result of Einstein's general theory of relativity.     

塔里木盆地中部泥盆系东河砂岩成岩序列与储集性能控制因素?

根据对岩石铸体薄片和阴极发光薄片、地层厚度、古地温梯度以及镜质体反射率等资料分析研究认为：塔中地区东河砂岩经历了压实作用、粘土胶结、石英次生加大、碳酸盐胶结、溶蚀作用、自生高岭石沉淀等多种成岩作用，目前已经达到了晚期成岩阶段。这些成岩作用在塔中4井以东和以西的地区存在较明显的差异，西部进入早成岩阶段B期和晚成岩阶段A期的时间较早，成岩演化程度较高，且具有下部溶蚀上部胶结的分带性；而东部则反之。优质储层主要分布于颗粒成分较纯、泥质含量较低、构造位置上长期处于高部位、被油气充注，但未被晚期碳酸盐胶结的地区。即二叠纪以来长期处于构造高部位的前滨-临滨相带内。     

Extracting olivine (Fo–Fa) compositions from Raman spectral peak positions

The dominant feature of the olivine Raman spectrum is a doublet that occurs in the spectral region of 815–825 cm⁻¹ (DB1) and 838–857 cm⁻¹ (DB2). These features arise from coupled symmetric and asymmetric stretching vibrational modes of the constituent SiO₄ tetrahedra. The frequencies of both peaks show monotonic shifts following cation substitution between forsterite and fayalite. We present a calibration for extracting olivine Fo contents (Fo = Mg/(Mg + Fe) molar ratio; Fo_0–100) from the peak positions of this doublet, permitting estimates of chemical composition from Raman spectra (acquired in the laboratory or field) as well as providing information on crystal structure (distinction of polymorphs). Eight samples spanning the compositional range from forsterite to fayalite were used to develop the calibration equations for the DB1 and DB2 peaks individually and together. The data indicate that the DB1 peak is more reliable for calculating the compositions of Fe-rich olivine but that the DB2 peak is better for magnesian compositions. The two-peak calibration overcomes the limitations of the single-peak calibrations and is capable of calculating olivine compositions to within ±10 Fo units.
