A Model for Loadout Analysis and Its Programming Implementation

- In this paper, the authors use the finite element method to conduct a special static analysis for the loadout procedure of offshore structures. By introducing a variable Xmove (the distance between the relative coordinate system fixed in the moving upper structure and the absolute coordinate system fixed on slideway), adopting substructure to treat the upper structure, and using the elastic foundation beam to model the slideway, the model for the analysis of the loadoul procedure is established. On the basis of this model, DASOS-J loadout program, a program system for the static analysis of loadout offshore structures, is also developed.     

Influences of microbial communities on groundwater component concentrations during managed artificial recharge

Managed aquifer recharge is one of the most popular methods for dealing with local water shortage issues, and the bacterial community could be a vital factor influencing groundwater quality during this process. In this study, analysis of variations in groundwater components during artificial recharge revealed three stages at a text site in China. During stage I, total iron and dissolved organic carbon levels are stable basically, dissolved oxygen and SO₄ ^2? levels have rising trends, NO₃ ^? curve varied not obviously. Variation curves show increases in dissolved oxygen, NO₃ ^?, SO₄ ^2? and stabilization in dissolved organic carbon and total iron at stage II. During stage III, dissolved oxygen and NO₃ ^? have rising trends, dissolved organic carbon, total iron, and SO₄ ^2? keep stable. At 25 and 70 days the Simpson and Shannon–Wiener indices show that microbial community richness and population diversity underwent a gradual dynamic change after recharge water arrived. Correlation analysis shows that the Simpson index was mainly affected by dissolved oxygen and NO₃ ^?. PCR-DGGE confirmed these findings. Overall, the results revealed that the main bacterial communities reduce total nitrogen, total phosphorous, and chemical oxygen demand, which corresponded to the calculated correlation index.     

南海北部17937岩心四万年来古环境变化的分子有机地球化学记录

以分子有机地球化学为手段对南海北部四万年来的古环境古气候研究表明, U₃₇k’-SST表层水温在冰期、间冰期平均范围分别为27℃和24℃, LGM与全新世温差达4.5℃; 以高分子量烷烃所代表的陆源物质输入和长链不饱和酮化合物所代表的海洋初级生产力都呈现冰期高、间冰期低特征, 表明冰期时陆源物质输入的增加和海洋表层生产力的提高; 正构烷烃C₃₁/C₂₇记录了南方大陆的植被由冰期时草本植物占优势向间冰期时木本植物占优势的转变.说明南海在末次冰期以来气候的不稳定性, 和海陆生态系统对气候变化的响应以及分子有机地球化学在古环境古气候研究中的巨大潜力.      

南海南部普林虫与“中更新世革命”

对南海南部ODP 1143站2.1 Ma以来沉积物中的浮游有孔虫群进行研究, 发现在冲绳海槽及南海北部普遍被认为是黑潮标志种的Pulleniatina obliquiloculata在中更新世革命(MPR)前后对冰期旋回的响应截然相反; 且在MPR之后的变化与南海北部和冲绳海槽相反, 即冰期时含量高而间冰期时低.交叉频谱分析和相位分析的结果也证实了ODP 1143站P.obliquiloculata与全球冰量变化之间的上述关系.该种在MPR前后冰期旋回的转变, 可能是由于MPR之后南海南部在冰期时切断了与印度洋之间的海水交换, 或者是冰期时海水盐度增加等因素引起的上部水体结构的重大改观所致.      

南海ODP1143站上新世至更新世天文年代标尺的建立

基于底栖有孔虫δ18O的精确的年代标尺是古海洋学研究的基础, 特别是长度超过5 Ma, 分辨率小于5 ka的连续δ18O记录在全球大洋深海记录中更是凤毛麟角.在大西洋和东太平洋已经建立起了类似的代表性剖面, 如大西洋ODP659站和东太平洋ODP846站, 但在对全球气候有着重要影响的“西太平洋暖池区”还没有建立起这样的剖面.以南海大洋钻探184航次1143站底栖有孔虫的δ18O为材料, 建立了西太平洋地区跨越5 Ma、分辨率达2~ 3 ka的天文年代标尺.天文调谐的基本原理参照Imbrie et al.(1984), 并将斜率周期上8 ka的相位差和岁差周期上5 ka的相位差从晚更新世扩展到5 Ma; 调谐目标选用Laskar(1990)的斜率和岁差; 调谐方法采用了有别于ODP659站和ODP846站的自动轨道调谐方法(Yu and Ding, 1998).调谐结果显示, 1143站190.77 m、191个冰期、间冰期的深海沉积记录了5.02 Ma的南海古海洋学历史; 1143站布容/松山磁性反转事件的年龄为0.78 Ma, 与前人研究结果一致; 15个识别出的浮游有孔虫生物事件年龄部分与已经发表过的年龄相吻合, 部分为该生物事件在南沙海区的新年龄.由年代标尺推导出的南海沉积特征显示, 2.9 Ma是沉积速率的一个转折点, 在此之前, 平均线性沉积速率只有39.5 m/Ma, 冰期、间冰期平均波动幅度为50 m/Ma; 2.9 Ma以后, 平均线性沉积速率猛然上升到65.4 m/Ma, 冰期、间冰期平均波动幅度为200 m/Ma.此外, 南海的沉积速率还显示出冰期或间冰期中的亚冰阶沉积速率高, 而相邻的间冰期或亚间冰阶的沉积速率低, 这种特点在更新世尤为典型.这可能与全球冰量变化带来的冰期、间冰期差异性风化剥蚀和搬运有关.      

High-Resolution Mesoscale Analysis Data from the South China Heavy Rainfall Experiment (SCHeREX): Data Generation and Quality Evaluation

In this study, the observational data acquired in the South China Heavy Rainfall Experiment (SCHeREX) from May to July 2008 and 2009 were integrated and assimilated with the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Local Analysis and Prediction System (LAPS; information available online at http://laps.fsl.noaa.gov). A high-resolution mesoscale analysis dataset was then generated at a spatial resolution of 5 km and a temporal resolution of 3 h in four observational areas: South China, Cent...     

H_2CO and H110α survey toward UCHII regions

We report results of the H2CO and H110α survey toward 281 UCHII regions using the Urumqi 25m radio telescope.We obtained 37 new H2CO detections,and H110α was simultaneously detected in eight of them.Only H110α was detected in another UCHII region.We calculated kinematic distances of nine UCHII regions with the detected H110α and resolved the kinematic distance ambiguity for six of them.The detection rate of H2CO of our observation was 13.2%,which is low compared with one of the other authors.The possible re...     

Origin of power-law X-ray emission in the steep power-law state of X-ray binaries

We present a new explanation for the origin of the steep power-law(SPL) state of X-ray binaries.The power-law component of X-ray emission is the synchrotron radiation of relativistic electrons in highly magnetized compact spots orbiting near the inner stable circular orbit of a black hole.It has a hard spectrum that extends to above MeV energies,which is determined by the electron acceleration rate.These photons are then down-scattered by the surrounding plasma to form an observed steep spectrum.We discuss ...     

Panel positioning error and support mechanism for a 30-m THz radio telescope

A 30-m TeraHertz(THz) radio telescope is proposed to operate at 200 μm with an active primary surface.This paper presents sensitivity analysis of active surface panel positioning errors with optical performance in terms of the Strehl ratio.Based on Ruze's surface error theory and using a Monte Carlo simulation,the effects of six rigid panel positioning errors,such as piston,tip,tilt,radial,azimuthal and twist displacements,were directly derived.The optical performance of the telescope was then evaluated usi...     

External photon fields in Fermi bright blazars

The external Compton(EC) model is used to study the high energy emission of some blazars,in which the external photon field is considered to dominate inverse Compton radiation. We explore the properties of the external photon field through analyzing the FERMI LAT bright AGN sample within three months of the start of operations in sky-survey mode. In the sample,assuming the high energy radiation of low synchrotron peaked blazars is from the EC process,we find that the external photon parameter Uext/νext may ...
