A new photometricWBVR system

The new photometric systemWBVR was described. It is close toUBVR but is defined by strictly fixed response curves and the secondary standards distributed uniformly in the northern sky was construct. The magnitudes of these standards were coordinated to the self-consistent system. All standards were examined for a possible brightness variability.     

国外大地电磁响应函数估计方法

从本质上来说,能否得到大地电磁响应函数的无偏估计,取决于实测电磁场时间序列中所含噪声的类型和强度。当磁场时间序列不含噪声且电场仅含不相关噪声时,单站ＲｏｂｕｓｔＬＳ方法是有效的;当磁场和电场时间序列同时含有不相关噪声时,Ｒｏｂｕｓｔ远参考方法也是有效的;但当磁场和电场时间序列含较强的相关噪声时,已有的方法已无能为力。文中在简要回顾大地电磁法的发展历史之后,对国外估计大地电磁响应函数的方法作了较全面的总结和评述,并着重介绍了几种值得关注的新方法。应该指出,受欢迎的方法必须兼顾估计的精度、稳定性和野外工作效率。     

Regularities of rare-earth element distribution in the sedimentary shell and in the crust of the earth

After summarizing the vast analytical material it was possible to establish the differences in rare-earth element (REE) distribution in geosynclines and on platforms. It is shown that the heavier REE composition in sediments of geosynclines and the lighter one in sediments of platforms was initially created by processes of endogenic differentiation and then inherited by sedimentary series of these zones. On the basis of the calculation of the REE content in rocks of various shells of the Earth crust the increase of the role of heavy lanthanides into the depths of the crust is shown. The obtained estimate of REE abundance in the lithosphere led to the conclusion that the crust of our planet, despite the repeated reworking of its matter by sedimentary processes, metamorphism and granitization, has inherited features peculiar to products of tholeiitic magmatism—the most widely spread type of mantle fusion.

凹凸棒石粘土处理城市废水的实验

目前的城市废水处理方法有活性污泥法及粉末活性炭投料－活性污泥性,但两者皆存在不足之处。凹凸棒石具独特的结构和良好的吸附、脱色、净化和过滤性能。通过实验对其用于城市废水处理作了技术可行性研究,并进行了相应的经济可行性分析,认为凹凸棒石粘土可替代粉末活性炭处理城市废水且成本很低。     

Multistage progressive evolution of rare osumilite‐bearing assemblages preserved in ultrahigh‐temperature granulites from In Ouzzal (Hoggar,Algeria)

Osumilite is reported in Palaeoproterozoic Al–Mg‐rich granulites from the Khanfous area (Tekhamalt, In Ouzzal, Hoggar, Algeria). The main peak assemblages are osumilite + sapphirine + biotite + orthopyroxene + sillimanite and osumilite + orthopyroxene + sillimanite + quartz ± biotite (±K‐feldspar) in silica‐deficient and silica‐saturated granulites respectively. Osumilite coexists with F‐rich biotite (X_F ≈ 0.6). The observed microstructures, the mass balance of metamorphic reactions and P–T pseudosections modelled for bulk‐rock and reaction‐microdomain compositions indicate a clockwise P–T metamorphic evolution at ultrahigh temperatures, without substantial post‐peak deformation. The peak P–T conditions recorded by the osumilite‐bearing assemblages are 8.5–9.0 kbar and 930–980 °C. During retrogression, osumilite was partially or totally replaced by fine‐grained pseudomorphs of cordierite + orthopyroxene + K‐feldspar + quartz at ~7 kbar and ~850 °C. This study confirms that osumilite can occur only in Mg‐rich metamorphic rocks that experienced ultrahigh‐temperature metamorphism under anhydrous conditions. In the presence of a hydrous fluid, it is replaced, even at high temperatures, by cordierite‐bearing assemblages. This important feature explains the rarity of osumilite in granulite facies rocks and its common replacement by cordierite + orthopyroxene + K‐feldspar + quartz pseudomorphs. The peak conditions suggest that a delamination of the lithospheric mantle underneath the In Ouzzal crust brought the asthenosphere close to the Mohorovi?i? discontinuity.     

Ultraviolet observations in Puppis with the space telescope ‘Glazar’

The results of observations of 159 stars at 1640 Å in Puppis made with the space telescope Glazar are presented. It is shown that the observed stars are members of different groups of stars situated at distances of about 120, 370, 700, 1250, 2400, and 4000 pc. The last two groups belong to the Pup OB1 and the Pup OB2 stellar associations.There is relatively little absorption in the observed region. The absorbing matter is mainly concentrated in small clouds.It is suggested that three stars — CP –27°4197, HD 60479, and HD 61672-are embedded in a dust envelope and that the star HD 60057 has a hot subdwarf companion.Forty-four of the observed stars are new OB or early A-type stars, spectral types of which were not known.
