Far-Ultraviolet Emission from Elliptical Galaxies at z = 0.55

The rest-frame UV-to-optical flux ratio, which characterizes the "UV upturn" phenomenon, is potentially the most sensitive tracer of age in elliptical galaxies; models predict that it may change by orders of magnitude over the course of a few gigayears. In order to trace the evolution of the UV upturn as a function of redshift, we have used the far-UV camera on the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph to image the galaxy cluster CL 0016+16 at z=0.55. Our 25"x25" field includes four bright elliptical galaxies, spectroscopically confirmed to be passively evolving cluster members. The weak UV emission from the galaxies in our image demonstrates that the UV upturn is weaker at a look-back time approximately 5.6 Gyr earlier than our own, as compared to measurements of the UV upturn in cluster E and S0 galaxies at z=0 and z=0.375. These images are the first with sufficient depth to demonstrate the fading of the UV upturn expected at moderate redshifts. We discuss these observations and the implications for the formation history of galaxies.     

岩石图象分析在强胶结储层中流体流动通过特征方面的应用：美国,宾夕法尼亚

凯思油田储层是上泥盆系强胶结砂岩，平均孔隙率为１１５。大多数孔隙空间是自生粘土中的显微孔隙。尽管品质较差，但在注水条件下，该储层每口井日产１７桶原油。本文的目的是根据储层孔隙显微结构特征来解释这一现象，对凯思储层薄片的数字图象资料进行统计分析表明，存在五种孔隙类型，其中两种（孔隙类型４和５）是长石溶解的产物，图像分析结果与岩心压汞资料的对比表明，孔隙类型４具有足够大的喉道控制储层的渗透率。然而，若     

怀俄明州积雪场CO2,CH4和N20的通量及其对全球预算的指示意义

三种主要的温室气体－ＣＯ２、ＣＨＲ和Ｎ２Ｏ－在大气中日益升高的浓度总共占所预期的全球变暖效应的约７０％，但是对于其中的任何一种气体来说，生产－消耗预算都是不平衡的。积雪可覆盖北半球陆地面积的４４％￣５３％，并且在高山及亚高山区，可以有好几米深的积雪厚度持续半年多。大多数微量气体预算假定：当土壤被积雪覆盖或土壤温度降至约０℃时，微量气体交换便会停止。因此，通常认为高山及亚高山区土壤是大气ＣＯ２的总汇
