金兴定三年(公元1219年)固原地震重新考证

金宣宗兴定三年(公元1219年),在今宁夏回族自治区南部发生强烈地震,现有文献给出的地震次数、地震时间、震中位置差异很大.本文根据我国地震史料和近年固原发现的碑文和地方志记载,考证该强震时间在六月十八日巳时(公历格列历8月6日10时前后);震中在固原南(35.6°N,106.2°E);震级为61/2级;震中烈度为Ⅷ至Ⅸ度.     

基于GIS研究南黄海活动断层与地震的关系

基于GIS缓冲区分析和叠加分析的空间分析方法,定量研究南黄海活动断层与地震的关系.通过对震中与10 km和20 km断层缓冲区的叠加分析得出断层缓冲区内地震的数量,从中看出:走向NE～NEE向断裂是控制地震发生的主要活动断裂;通过对断层和震中缓冲区的叠加分析得出对地震发生有影响的断层的数量.

新疆OLR基本特征及强震前的异常现象

利用美国国家环境监测中心的NOAA卫星长波辐射(OLR)月际资料进行数据的月距平、涡度场计算等处理,总结分析了新疆地区长波辐射场的基本特征.对2003年以来新疆及其周边地区发生的中强震进行研究,发现在部分地震前震中及附近地区出现较明显的高值辐射异常,认为这种现象可能与强震前的地一气系统变化有关.应用OLR资料进行新疆地区的地震趋势预测研究可在一定程度上弥补前兆台网监测能力的不足.     

Soil-structure interaction experiment using impulse response

A new experimental method using a finite soil model with no special treatement on its boundaries is employed for soil-structure intration problems to simulate the semi-infinitenesss of the actual soil medium. The present method utlizies the characteristics of transient response to an impluse load to obtain the impedance functions and effective input motions for surface and embedded foundations. This technique is applicable to a linear elastic system whose impulse response decreases to a small enough value before observing the reflected waves. The experimentally obtained impedance functions and effective input motions are compared with those obtained by the direct boundary integral equation method and the hybrid approach. Good agreement between the xperimental and analytical results validates the present method as well as the accuracy of the numerical tools.     

2006年甘肃文县5.0级地震灾害损失评估

2006年6月21日在甘肃省文县发生MS5.0地震,造成了建筑物破坏及人员伤亡。在震后开展的地震现场考察与震害评估工作中,将灾区分为2个评估子区,完成了29个点的震害抽样调查工作,根据地震灾害损失评估系统EDLES2.5的要求建立了有关数据库,做出了经济损失评估,并针对灾害特点给出了灾区恢复重建的建议。     

1879年甘肃武都南8级地震新史料

1985年在甘肃文县屯寨乡洋汤寨的天池庙的大樑上发现了一条新的关于1879年7月1日武都8级地震的新的历史记载。该记载表明武都8级地震在这里的地震烈度至少达到了Ⅹ度。     

采用体波谱振幅相关系数方法研究地震集中区震源机制变化过程

同一震源区两次地震到达某台站的直达P波、S波零频观测谱值之比与其辐射图型因子之比线性相关,而后者取决于震源机制的几何特性。用波形记录计算谱振幅相关系数,认为该系数是震源机制异同的归一化数值描述。据此对2003年青岛序列及冀鲁豫交界地区小震集中区地震事件进行聚类分组,给出序列事件的滑动平均相关系数的时序曲线。研究结果表明:青岛序列的滑动平均相关系数时序曲线存在由一致到发散的变化过程,即震源区应力场强度由相对集中向逐步分散过度;冀鲁豫交界地区小震集中区谱振幅相关系数较低,震源机制各不相同,区域应力积累没有形成任何一个优势方向。     

Urban environments as habitats for rare aquatic species: The case of leeches (Euhirudinea, Clitellata) in Warsaw freshwaters

Reduced biological diversity in freshwater habitats situated in urban areas has been discussed in numerous studies. Certain municipal areas, however, can help save animal diversity of freshwater invertebrates. In the present study animals were collected or observed alive in 13 freshwater environments localized in Warsaw - the second largest city of Central Europe - in a densely populated, urban building complex close to the city, and also in suburban areas. Leech assemblages in all the environments under observation were numerically dominated by a few common species, but on the whole 19 species were collected or observed. The populations of six rare leech species inhabit both flowing and standing waters in Warsaw. Five of these species are on the Polish Red List of Species and one is strictly protected. The shallow Lake Powsinkowskie is the richest freshwater environment in the studied area in terms of species richness and rarity and also one of the richest lakes in Poland. Taxonomic diversity in the environments under study seems not to be directly related to the size of the water body or the level of degradation but rather to the habitat complexity, especially the diversity of the bottom in littoral zone. Certain freshwater habitats located inside this great urban complex still create good conditions for rare, highly specialized species.     

Difference of mercury bioaccumulation in red mullets from the north-western Mediterranean and Black seas

The relationships between total mercury (Hg) concentration and stable nitrogen isotope ratio (δ¹⁵N) were evaluated in Mullus barbatus barbatus and M. surmuletus from the Mediterranean Sea and M. barbatus ponticus from the Black Sea. Mercury concentration in fish muscle was six times higher in the two Mediterranean species than in the Black Sea one for similar sized animals. A positive correlation between Hg concentration and δ¹⁵N occurred in all species. Increase in Hg concentration with δ¹⁵N was high and similar in the two Mediterranean fishes and much lower in the Black Sea species. Since this was neither related to trophic level difference between species nor to methylmercury (MeHg) concentration differences between the north-western Mediterranean and the Black Sea waters, we suggested that the higher primary production of the Black Sea induced a dilution of MeHg concentration at the base of the food webs.
