On the fairness of the main galaxy sample of SDSS

Flux-limited and volume-limited galaxy samples are constructed from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey(SDSS)data releases DR4,DR6 and DR7 for statistical analysis.The two-point correlation functionsξ(s),monopole of three-point correlation functionsζ0,projected two-point correlation function wp and pairwise velocity dispersionσ12 are measured to test if galaxy samples are fair for these statistics.We find that with the increment of sky coverage of subsequent data releases in SDSS, ξ(s)of the flux-limited sample is...     

A computational method to help identify and measure metallines in high resolution QSO spectra

A computational code is developed to help identify metal absorption linesin high resolution QSO spectra,especially in the Lyα forest.The input to the codeincludes a list of line central wavelengths,column densities and Doppler widths.Thecode then searches for candidate metal absorption systems and assesses the probability that each system could be real.The framework of the strategy we employ isdescribed in detail and we discuss how to estimate the errors in line profile fitting thatare essential to identifi...     

Time series data correction for the Chang'E-1 gamma-ray spectrometer

The main goal of the gamma-ray spectrometer(GRS) onboard Chang'E1(CE-1) is to acquire global maps of elemental abundances and their distributions on the moon,since such maps will significantly improve our understanding of lunar formation and evolution.To derive the elemental maps and enable research on lunar formation and evolution,raw data that are received directly from the spacecraft must be converted into time series corrected gamma-ray spectra.The data correction procedures for the CE-1 GRS time series...     

Solar cycle distribution of major geomagnetic storms

We examine the solar cycle distribution of major geomagnetic storms (Dst ≤ -100 nT), including intense storms at the level of- 200 nT< Dst ≤-100 nT, great storms at -300 nT< Dst ≤-200 nT, and super storms at Dst ≤-300 nT, which occurred during the period of 1957-2006, based on Dst indices and smoothed monthly sunspot numbers. Statistics show that the majority (82%) of the geomagnetic storms at the level of Dst ≤-100 nT that occurred in the study period were intense geomagnetic storms, with 12.4% ranked as great storms and 5.6% as super storms. It is interesting to note that about 27% of the geomagnetic storms that occurred at all three intensity levels appeared in the ascending phase of a solar cycle, and about 73% in the descending one. Statistics also show that 76.9% of the intense storms, 79.6% of the great storms and 90.9% of the super storms occurred during the two years before a solar cycle reached its peak, or in the three years after it. The correlation between the size of a solar cycle and the percentage of major storms that occurred, during the period from two years prior to maximum to three years after it, is investigated. Finally, the properties of the multi-peak distribution for major geomagnetic storms in each solar cycle is investigated.     

2021年青海玛多7.4级地震典型建筑震害对比及讨论

青海玛多7.4级地震发生后,本文作者随科考队开展了典型工程的震害调查。本文报道了黄河乡江旁村和昌马河工区这2个典型调查点的建筑震害情况。调查表明:邻近微观震中的黄河乡建筑震害程度相对较轻,主要表现为部分房屋落瓦,砖混结构少数承重墙及框架结构部分隔墙开裂,土木结构房屋部分严重破坏,部分围墙倒塌;而距微观震中以东85 km的昌马河工区建筑震害则相对较重:无抗震措施的砖木结构房屋全部严重破坏或倒塌,具备合理抗震措施的砖混结构基本完好或轻微破坏,在建轻钢厂房均钢柱倾斜、维护墙明显开裂并且围墙多数倒塌。调查分析表明:造成两地震害差异的主要原因为抗震措施差异以及地表破裂和砂土液化影响:黄河乡多数房屋具备合理抗震措施,昌马河工区多数民居缺少抗震措施;昌马河工区附近发现疑似地表破裂痕迹,而紧邻黄河乡的河岸发现砂土液化迹象。这表明昌马河工区的地震作用中类似近场的高频能量可能较多,而黄河乡地区则因砂土液化使得高频地震动作用有所降低,由此造成两地震害程度与震中距呈现反差关系。     

钢筋混凝土高层建筑抗震时程分析选波方法比较研究

针对钢筋混凝土高层建筑抗震时程分析输入地震波选择问题,以《建筑抗震设计规范》（GB 50011-2016）设计谱为目标谱,将满足谱匹配原则的加权调幅选波方法与国内学者建议的其它输入地震波选择方法进行了对比研究。以3栋钢筋混凝土高层建筑（15层、30层和44层）为实例,针对8度罕遇地震作用和Ⅱ类场地条件,将上述方法建议的各7条地震波输入结构进行弹塑性时程分析。以结构最大层间位移角均值沿楼层分布为比较参数。结果表明:加权调幅法可用于钢筋混凝土高层建筑抗震时程分析,可以较好地降低结构地震反应均值的离散性。在8度罕遇地震作用条件下,以不同学者建议选择的地震波为输入,高层建筑时程分析结果仍呈现出较大的不同。     

青海省典型土遗址病害及动力测试分析

通过调查青海省四处典型土遗址发现表面剥蚀、冲沟、裂缝、坍塌、人为破坏等病害普遍存在,门源古城和湟中县部分长城因缺乏保护,人为破坏情况严重,土遗址保存状况恶劣;大通县长城和湟中县加牙烽燧在开展保护工程后,土遗址整体保存状况良好。大通县长城2处墙体的现场脉动观测结果显示:（1）2处墙体的速度峰值随高度增加有明显放大现象,一号墙体由底部到顶部速度峰值放大1.7倍,二号墙体放大2.9倍,放大效应让2处墙体在地震时更不稳定;（2）两处墙体的测试频率在3.04 Hz至5.71 Hz之间,通过计算获得一、二号墙体差值百分比分别为30.5%和11.1%,表明二号墙体与场地相互作用明显,处于高风险影响,当遭遇地震的卓越频率与之相近时会发生明显的共振现象。因此应对观测处墙体进行加固,以减小与场地的相互作用,提高墙体的抗震稳定性。     

倒置外露灌浆套筒连接的不同轴压比柱脚节点抗震性能试验研究

为了解决传统内置灌浆套筒竖向连接施工过程不可视和灌浆质量可控性差,提出“灌浆后再二次封边”的倒置外露钢筋灌浆套筒连接方法。通过设计制作3个截面尺寸为400 mm×400 mm的足尺试件,采用竖向荷载作用下的低周往复荷载试验,研究了该新型装配柱脚节点在不同轴压比作用下的抗震性能。结果表明:不同轴压比作用下各装配柱脚节点试件灌浆套筒均完好;伴随轴压比增大,柱脚节点区塑性铰上移,柱身开裂高度上升;柱脚节点开裂与极限荷载均随轴压比增大而增大,但延性系数随轴压比的增大而降低（试件S1、S2和S3对应的延性系数分别是3.08、2.77和2.56）并且刚度退化进程缩短;伴随轴压比增大开裂位移角变大和极限位移角变小,最小值分别为1/479、1/35,均大于规范限值,满足抗震设计要求。建议装配柱脚节点应适度延长柱端箍筋加密区范围,深化柱脚节点区受力机制的研究。     

分层土地基中几何参数对单排混凝土桩隔振效果的影响

为了研究分层土地基（上层为粘土层,下层为砂层）条件下几何参数对单排混凝土桩的隔振效果,该试验通过缩尺比例为1∶15的缩尺模型试验,以激振器作为点振源产生振动波向四周扩散,通过对比单排桩前后两侧振动加速度极值,清晰地展现出了单排桩对振动波的的影响区域,并得到了几何参数的隔振影响作用。在该试验条件下得出结论:相对于其他影响因素,桩长是影响隔振效果的重要参数,当桩长参数由0.28增至0.57时可提高约9％的隔振面积,同时增加桩长和隔振区长度可使隔振区域振幅大幅度减小与有效隔振面积大幅增加,但同时会造成桩前一侧振动增强;对于低频振动,单排桩隔振屏障对中频和高频有更好的隔振作用,该试验条件下隔振效果可相差约3％,且频率越高,穿透性越强,且将在桩后形成一个振动加强区;增加振源距可有效提高隔振效果,但当频率较低时,中远振源的隔振效果相近。
