Observation of hydrogen peroxide concentrations in a Japanese red pine forest

In order to study the concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and the factors controlling its concentrations, we monitored concentrations of H₂O₂ and other gases such as sulfur dioxide, ozone, and NO _x as well as meteorological factors such as air temperature, relative humidity, and wind direction/speed during eight measurement periods from 2000 to 2002 in a Japanese red pine forest in Japan. The H₂O₂ concentrations ranged from below 0.01 to 1.64 ppb, and analysis of the diurnal variation in H₂O₂ concentration showed high concentrations around noon, and low concentrations in the morning and late afternoon. The H₂O₂ concentrations were high in early summer, when O₃ concentration, temperature, and solar radiation were high, and were low in fall, when O₃ concentration, temperature, and solar radiation were low. We propose that O₃ concentration affects the production of H₂O₂ in the monitored region during the period under study, but that high H₂O₂ concentrations were sometimes caused by the transport of polluted air from urban regions. H₂O₂ concentrations decreased remarkably when SO₂ concentrations increased by transported volcanic emission on Miyake Island. In the absence of the effects of SO₂, H₂O₂ concentrations increased with increasing O₃ concentration and temperature.

含水量和含盐量对粉质黏土热导率影响的试验研究

土壤传热性能作为地热资源开发的基础研究课题,近年来已经成为能源、工程、地球科学和地质学等领域的研究热点.然而有关盐渍黄土的热导率研究却很少被发表.针对关中地区地热资源开发的迫切需要,本研究借助瞬态平面热源法对黄土的热导率做了测量,得到了不同含水量(8％,10％,12％,14％,16％,18％)和不同含盐量(0％,2％,4％,6％)的黄土热导率数据.结合导热路径理论,双电层理论和"絮凝"现象对含水量和含盐量影响下的黄土热导率进行了讨论.获得了如下结论:(1)含水量的变化会引起黄土内部热量传导路径的变化,同时引起"液桥"现象对热量传递产生影响;(2) NaCl盐分对热导率的影响主要体现在对黄土颗粒周围双电层的改变,同时引起的"絮凝"作用会对导热路径产生不利影响进而降低黄土热导率;(3)总的来说,固-固传导,固-液传导和液-液传导作为三种典型的热量传导路径与黄土的含水量和舍盐量密切相关.

川西汉旺地区雷口坡组四段风暴岩特征及地质意义

通过野外实测剖面和镜下薄片观察,川西汉旺地区雷口坡组四段发育典型的风暴岩,具有底冲刷—充填构造、风暴砾屑层、菊花构造和丘状交错层理等典型风暴沉积标志。根据该风暴岩岩性、沉积位置、沉积标志组合特征,共识别出三种风暴沉积序列类型:1)序列Ⅰ由侵蚀底面及砾屑段、粒序段组成,代表靠近风暴浪基面附近的台前缓斜坡下部环境; 2)序列Ⅱ由侵蚀底面及砾屑段、粒序段、平行纹层段、丘状纹层段组成,代表靠近正常浪基面附近的台前缓斜坡上部环境; 3)序列Ⅲ由粒序段、平行纹层段组成,代表台地边缘环境。风暴层序自下而上的沉积演化为:台前缓斜坡下部—台前缓斜坡上部—台地边缘,整体为一个向上变浅的沉积序列。     

上浮极限状态下饱和土的浮力模型试验和理论分析

饱和黏土中的长期浮力是否需要折减是一个具有争议的问题。为研究饱和黏土中的长期浮力是否小于相同水头高度下的静水压力,通过地基上浮失稳的模型试验,实测了上浮极限状态下（即有效应力约等于0时）饱和砂土和黏土中的浮力折减系数。实验装置由模型槽、土样、凡士林、浮筒、配重及压重设施组成,通过浮筒上浮瞬间的受力平衡得到失稳时的实际上浮力。实验测得饱和砂土中的浮力折减系数为1,饱和高岭土和饱和蒙脱石中的浮力折减系数分别为0.973±0.024和0.959±0.016。试验结果表明上浮极限状态下,饱和土中的浮力与纯水中的浮力差别很小。即便在高塑性黏土中,模型基础失稳时受到的上浮力与纯水中的浮力相比,仅折减了不到5%。基于饱和土有效应力原理的分析表明,上浮极限状态下的浮力折减系数与土样固结前的Skempton B值互为倒数。大量实测数据并未发现饱和黏土的Skempton B值明显大于1,故饱和黏土的浮力折减系数也不可能显著小于1。本文模型试验和理论分析表明,在地基抗浮承载力验算时,饱和黏土中的长期浮力不宜进行显著折减。     

三维高频远场平面波电磁勘探中的E_z研究

随着电磁探测的发展,三维精细勘探为复杂地质模型的分析提供了有效工具,为了更精细地研究大地介质的特性,利用三维矢量有限元模拟分析了三维异常模型的Ez、Hz分量的响应特征。Ez分量对界面异常敏感,在界面处存在突变;Hz分量则在界面处不存在突变,但界面处出现Hz分量极值,对异常体的变化也有一定的灵敏度。同时,进一步提出采用上下两个测点的数据比值进行归一化处理来获得稳定的传输函数。     

歧口凹陷歧北斜坡白云岩演化规律研究

在古近系沙河街组沙一段沉积期,为歧口凹陷最大湖扩期,在西南部整体古地理为宽缓的湖湾环境,气候潮湿温暖,物源供给较弱,在这种条件下,该地区发育大面积的碳酸盐岩沉积,以白云岩夹油页岩互层分布为特征。利用歧北斜坡两口重点井的岩心资料,对该区内的白云岩演化特征进行分析。研究表明,湖平面的升降决定了古地理环境,直接影响了白云岩发育的类型。歧北高斜坡区,水体较中斜坡浅,自下而上发育生屑灰岩、微晶云岩、灰质云岩、云质灰岩,表明古地理环境由粒屑滩—局限洼地—湖湾的演化过程;而在歧北中斜坡区,位于港西凸起周缘,早期主要为浅滩环境,发育灰质云岩和云质灰岩,向上过渡为微晶云岩、泥质云岩、泥岩,湖平面的多次升降,决定了该区古地理环境由浅滩—局限洼地—湖湾—半深湖的演化过程。通过地质钻探,该区在部分区域的白云岩已发现油层,证明该区白云岩储集层具有良好油气潜力,白云岩储集层已成为歧口凹陷古近系非常规油气增储的重要领域之一。     

Diffusion Characteristics of Swells in the North Indian Ocean

Research on the diffusion characteristics of swells contributes positively to wave energy forecasting, swell monitoring, and early warning. In this work, the South Indian Ocean westerly index(SIWI) and Indian Ocean swell diffusion effect index(IOSDEI) are defined on the basis of the 45-year(September 1957–August 2002) ERA-40 wave reanalysis data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts(ECMWF) to analyze the impact of the South Indian Ocean westerlies on the propagation of swell acreage. The following results were obtained: 1) The South Indian Ocean swell mainly propagates from southwest to northeast. The swell also spreads to the Arabian Sea upon reaching low-latitude waters. The 2.0-meter contour of the swell can reach northward to Sri Lankan waters. 2) The size of the IOSDEI is determined by the SIWI strength. The IOSDEI requires approximately 2–3.5 days to fully respond to the SIWI. The correlations between SIWI and IOSDEI show obvious seasonal differences, with the highest correlations found in December–January–February(DJF) and the lowest correlations observed in June–July–August(JJA). 3) The SIWI and IOSDEI have a common period of approximately 1 week in JJA and DJF. The SIWI leads by approximately 2–3 days in this common period.
