新藏公路（新疆境内）地处昆仑山中、西段，沿线道路病害类型多样，有泥石流、滑坡、水毁、崩塌、雪害、涎流冰、翻浆、冻土等，严重威胁和破坏交通。由于所处地域自然环境条件特殊，病害频频发生，随着全球气候变暖，冰川退缩，病害将愈演愈烈。本文在实地调查的基础上，分析了研究区病害发育现状、分布规律、成因以及发展趋势，提出了进一步工作的建议。     

Larch growth across thermal and moisture gradients in the Siberian Mountains

Climate-driven changes in the thermal and moisture regimes may variously influence different tree species growth and ranges. We hypothesize that drought resistant Siberian larch(Larix sibirica Ledeb.) and precipitation-sensitive Siberian pine(Pinus sibirica Du Tour) responded differently to climate change along the elevational thermal and precipitation gradients. We studied the influence of air temperature, precipitation, soil moisture, and atmospheric drought(indicated by the drought index SPEI...     

Study of Central Intensity Ratio of Seyfert Galaxies in Nearby Universe

We use the recently discovered simple photometric parameter Central Intensity Ratio(CIR) determined for a sample of 57 nearby(z <0.02) Seyfert galaxies to explore the central features of galaxies and their possible connection with galaxy evolution.The sample of galaxies shows strong anti-correlation between CIR and mass of their central supermassive black holes(SMBHs).The SMBH masses of ellipticals are systematically higher for a given CIR value than those for lenticulars and spirals in the s...     

Geochemistry and petrogenesis of the Paleoproterozoic orthogneisses and granitoids of the Banded Gneissic Complex,central Rajasthan,NW India: Implications for crustal reworking processes

Granitoids and orthogneisses(1.7 Ga) from the northern part of the Banded Gneissic Complex(BGC-II domain), Aravalli Craton(NW India) are geochemically analyzed to understand the geodynamic condition and crustal evolution processes. The samples are metaluminous to peraluminous(molar A/CNK: 0.74±2.12), and characterized by Eu-anomaly ranging from 0.17 to 1.06, Fe₂O₃^T/(Fe₂O₃^T+MgO) from 0.8 to 0.9 and high magmatic zircon saturation t...     

Calibration of local magnitude scale for Hindukush continental subduction zone

Hindukush is an active subduction zone where at least one earthquake occurs on daily basis. For seismic hazard studies, it is important to develop a local magnitude scale using the data of local seismic network. We have computed local magnitude scale for Hindukush earthquakes using data from local network belonging to Center for Earthquake Studies (CES) for a period of three years, i.e. 2015–2017. A total of 26,365 seismic records pertaining to 2,683 earthquakes with magnitude 2.0 and greater, was used with hypocentral distance less than 600 km. Magnitude scale developed by using this data comes to be M_L = logA + 0.929logr + 0.00298r – 1.84. The magnitude determined through formulated relation was compared with that of standard relation for Southern California and relation developed by the same authors for local network for Northern Punjab. It was observed that Hindukush region has high attenuation as compared to that of Southern California and Northern Punjab which implies that Hindukush is tectonically more disturbed as compared to the said regions, hence, seismically more active as well. We have calculated station correction factors for our network. Station correction factors do not show any pattern which probably owes to the geological and tectonic complexity of this structure. Standard deviation and variance of magnitude residuals for CES network determined using Hutton and Boore scale and scale developed in this study were compared, it showed that a variance reduction of 44.1% was achieved. Average of magnitude residuals for different distance ranges was almost zero which showed that our magnitude scale was stable for all distances up to 600 km. Newly developed magnitude scale will help in homogenization of earthquake catalog. It has been observed that b-value of CES catalog decreases when magnitude is calculated by using newly developed magnitude scale.     

Optical Spectroscopy of Classical Be Stars in Old Open Clusters

We performed the optical spectroscopy of 16 classical Be stars in 11 open clusters older than 100 Myr. Ours is the first spectroscopic study of classical Be stars in open clusters older than 100 Myr. We found that the Hα emission strength of most of the stars is less than 40 ?, in agreement with previous studies. Our analysis further suggests that one of the stars, [KW97] 35–12, might be a weak Hα emitter in nature, showing Hα equivalent width of-0.5 ?.Interestingly, we also found that the newly...     

用经验格林函数方法模拟汶川M_W7.9地震的强地震动

汶川M_W7.9地震的发生震惊了中国乃至全世界,不仅仅因为该地震震级巨大,还因为其可怕的伤亡。评估汶川M_W7.9地震的复杂性及破坏力需对其地震特征进行研究。本文运用经验格林函数方法(EGF)模拟了地震的强地震动。首先,选取了4个震级为M_W4.9和M_W5.0的余震,对这些余震的运动利用格林函数进行了模拟。通过模拟,可以估算出包括断层规模和应力降在内的余震震源参数。然后,通过试错法正演模拟得出M_W7.9地震凹凸体(强震动生成区)的震源模型。为验证该震源模型的准确性,运用经验格林函数方法模拟合成了9个台站的强地震动。将模拟得出的强地震动与观测记录到的加速度波形、速度波形和拟加速度反应谱相比较。尽管有一些差异,但在大部分台站,合成的强地震动与观测记录结果相吻合。在模拟得出的震源模型中,断层面上3个凹凸体的应力降约为10MPa,而凹凸体面积与破裂面积比为0.24,接近经验关系式得出的结果0.22。     

双防线可恢复性能斜交网格结构耗能机制和抗震性能研究

为提高斜交网格结构的抗震性能,提出一种双防线可恢复性能斜交网格结构。双防线可恢复性能斜交网格结构采用剪切耗能段和特定梁端塑形铰进行集中耗能,使主体结构构件保持弹性。剪切耗能段不承受和传递重力荷载,易在震后修复或更换,使建筑可迅速恢复功能。为实现目标耗能机制,对等效能量塑形设计法进行改进以适用于可恢复性能斜交网格结构,并进行结构设计举例。采用OpenSees软件对所设计结构建立详细的有限元计算模型,进行非线性动力时程分析,以验证双防线耗能机制并评估抗震性能。分析结果表明:（1）小震、中震和大震下的结构顶部位移角分别为0.28%、0.8%和1.7%,与性能设计目标基本相同;（2）中震时剪切耗能段屈服,特定梁端未出现塑性铰;（3）大震时,特定梁端出现塑性铰以增加结构耗能能力,剪切耗能段屈服且处于延性范围内。因此新型可恢复性能斜交网格结构具有有效的双防线耗能机制,在中震后可迅速修复,在大震中可保持延性,实现"中震可修,大震不倒"的性能目标。     

Detecting exoplanets with FAST?

We briefly review the various proposed scenarios that may lead to nonthermal radio emissions from exoplanetary systems(planetary magnetospheres, magnetosphere-ionosphere and magnetospheresatellite coupling, and star-planet interactions), and the physical information that can be drawn from their detection. The latter scenario is especially favorable to the production of radio emission above 70 MHz. We summarize the results of past and recent radio searches, and then discuss FAST characteristics and observation strategy, including synergies. We emphasize the importance of polarization measurements and a high duty-cycle for the very weak targets that radio-exoplanets prove to be.     

遥感和GIS技术应用于伊拉克南部Basrah省土地利用/覆盖变化及城市扩张研究(英文)

In recent years, land use/cover dynamic change has become a key subject that needs to be dealt with in the study of global environmental change. In this paper, remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) are integrated to monitor, map, and quantify the land use/cover change in the southern part of Iraq (Basrah Province was taken as a case) by using a 1:250 000 mapping scale. Remote sensing and GIS software were used to classify Landsat TM in 1990 and Landsat ETM+ in 2003 imagery into five land use and land cover (LULC) classes: vegetation, sand, urban area, unused land, and water bodies. Supervised classification and normalized difference build-up index (NDBI) were used respectively to retrieve its urban boundary. An accuracy assessment was performed on the 2003 LULC map to determine the reliability of the map. Finally, GIS software was used to quantify and illustrate the various LULC conversions that took place over the 13-year span of time. Results showed that the urban area had increased by the rate of 1.2% per year, with area expansion from 3 299.1 km² in 1990 to 3 794.9 km² in 2003. Large vegetation area in the north and southeast were converted into urban construction land. The land use/cover changes of Basrah Province were mainly caused by rapid development of the urban economy and population immigration from the countryside. In addition, the former government policy of “returning farmland to transportation and huge expansion in military camps” was the major driving force for vegetation land change. The paper concludes that remote sensing and GIS can be used to create LULC maps. It also notes that the maps generated can be used to delineate the changes that take place over time.
