Sedimentary facies of the central part of radial tidal sand ridge system of the eastern China coast

A unique radial tidal sand ridge system (RTSRS) has developed under a complex tidal current field on the eastern China coast between the Yangtze River delta to the south and the abandoned Yellow River (Huanghe) delta to the north. The present study examines the sedimentary evolution of a ridge-channel pair in the central RTSRS. Three cores, with two on the ridges and one in the channel, were drilled to reveal the late Pleistocene-Holocene deposits of the system. Five sedimentary facies were distinguished, i.e. ridgeshallow subtidal facies, ridge-deep subtidal facies, nearsurface channel bottom facies, middle tidal flat facies and low tidal flat facies. The ridge-shallow subtidal facies consists of sandy strata with ripple cross beddings, horizontal lamina, and massive beddings. Bioturbation seldom occurs. The ridge-deep subtidal facies is primarily characterized by sandy and muddy interlayers with common flaser and lenticular bedding structures. Bioturbation appears abundantly. Massive and graded sediment sequences of storm origin are present as characterized by rich shell fragments. The nearsurface channel bottom facies consists of loose, soft, clayey silt deposits with deformed sedimentary layers. This facies occurs in the deeper part of the active channels. The middle tidal flat and lower tidal flat facies composed of silt-clay couplets prevailed primarily in the tidal flats. Incomplete sedimentary successions show that coastal plain deposits dominate in the study area during 12–13 ka B.P. The sandy ridge and channel facies became dominant during 4–6 ka B.P. when the sea level receded temporarily. Tidal ridge and channel in the study area became active during the last four decades. Sediment reworking due to typhoon and sandy ridge migration plays a key role in shaping the present radial ridge system.

Seismic Response of Base-Isolated Structures underMulti-component Ground Motion Excitation

INTRODUCTIONConcept of base isolation has attracted considerable attention in recent years (Sun et al., 1994). The basic isolationsystem consists of an array of bearings between the base of thebuilding and its foundation. It shifts the fundamental frequencyof the structure away from the energetic region of the earthquake spectrum and limits the earthquake energy transmitted tothe superstructure (Tang and Liu, 1993 ). Base isolation isused widely to protect structures from the destructive…

对比研究了贵州龙宫风景区1996年和2011年15年前后客流量、温度、湿度和CO2浓度等有关数据,分析其环境变化特征,揭示影响因素,预测其发展趋势。结果表明:(1)洞内CO2浓度比洞外高,洞深越深CO2浓度越高,2011年CO2浓度比1996年显著增大,总体说明游客数量对CO2浓度影响很大;(2)游客数量每增加1万人,则CO2浓度增加0.002%,年增加约0.0046%;大约经过13.5～18a,当年游客量达到135万人时,龙宫CO2浓度将超过CO2卫生二级标准;(3)各监测点各时段温度差异主要表现在洞外,洞内各监测点的各个时段基本无差异;(4)各监测点不同时段湿度无明显变化,仅存在洞内与洞外的差异。     

Study on the Sliding Displacement of a Sliding Structure Subjected to Multi-directional Earthquake Excitation

The investigation of sliding isolation is mainlyfocused on the response of a structure subjected to asingle directional earthquake excitation. Fan andTang (2001) studied the slide limited friction (S LF)base isolation system, using a sequential exponentialfriction model. Zhang and Cheng (2001) studied theisolated effect of a sliding bearing as a friction damp er. Xiong and Yu (2002) studied the numerical meth od of sliding isolation system. But studying a singlecomponent of e…

In this article, mechanics model of SMA center tension from damper is developed. According to the theory of Brinson constitutive model and thermodynamics first law, damper thermodynamics non-linear equation has been developed. Dynamics non-linear equation of frame structure under operation of SMA damper and its solution have been worked out; the software of seismic response analysis for frame structure and of damper characteristic analysis have been compiled with MATLAB software, andthe examples have been computed with it. The result indicates that SMA damper has obvious damp characteristics and it can provide with obvious restraint effect for seismic response of frame structure. Decreasing rate of displacement and velocity on top of frame structure reaches 50％-60％. The result is in accordance with other pundits experimentation results, which indicates that the above methods are correct and useful.

2017年全球活动火山时空分布以及阿贡火山喷发前后的形变特征

归纳总结2017年度全球81座活火山的活动情况,共计活动1058座次,平均每周记录20座活火山的活动信息。根据火山潜在喷发的危险性和火山活动的强弱程度对上述火山进行分级描述,火山活动主要反映了地球表层的构造活动,其中大角度俯冲带的弧后火山最为强烈,小角度的俯冲带、拉张裂谷和走滑为主的板块边界火山活动较为平静,火山活动频繁的印度尼西亚岛链是受灾最为严重的区域。预计全球火山活动将进一步加剧,印尼岛链受火山灾害威胁的程度依然较大。位于印尼岛链巴厘岛上的阿贡火山自2017年9月开始活动以来,整个喷发过程极具代表性,监测阿贡火山喷发过程可为全球典型火山喷发事件研究提供参考。     

香港巨牡蛎对3种微藻的选择性摄食研究

从微藻粒径大小、饵料密度以及营养价值角度,选取牟氏角毛藻（Chaetoceros muelleri）、亚心形扁藻（Platymonas subcordiformis）、球等鞭金藻（Isochrysis galbana）分别作为硅藻、绿藻和金藻的代表,开展了不同规格的香港巨牡蛎对3种微藻在同等密度、同等生物量混合条件下的摄食选择性研究。结果显示,香港巨牡蛎在两种不同混合藻条件下对3种不同微藻摄食选择性有显著性差异（P<0.01）。3种藻相同密度混合条件下,大、中、小3种规格香港巨牡蛎更倾向摄食粒径较大的亚心形扁藻,且贝类规格越大选择倾向性越低,摄食选择效率分别为0.32、0.35、0.48,对球等鞭金藻无明显选择性。3种藻等生物量混合条件下,香港巨牡蛎对亚心形扁藻和球等鞭金藻的摄食有选择性,且规格大小对选择效率影响显著（P<0.01）,个体越小选择性越强,小规格香港巨牡蛎倾向滤食亚心形扁藻（P<0.01）,大、中规格更倾向摄食粒径较小的球等鞭金藻。两种混合条件下,香港巨牡蛎都对牟氏角毛藻都有负的选择效率,而且牟氏角毛藻密度越高负值绝对值越大。微藻的细胞大小、形状、营养价值以及香港巨牡蛎的个体大小都对摄食选择性有着明显的影响,香港巨牡蛎的摄食选择性在现场海区中还明显受到生境及食物条件的限制。
