ON THE MAGNESIAN CONTENT OF THE PRE-GAMBRIAN MARBLE IN NORTH CHINA.

The senior author has, since several years,~1 pointed out the high magnesian content in the upper Wutai formation in which frequently occur     

A STONE METEORITE FROM NORTHERN KIANGSU.

Ⅰ. GENERAL DESCRIPTION. This meteorite is obtained from the province of Kiangsu. The weight is about 82 grams. The specific gravity is 3. 6. The shape is conical. This conical shape is evidently due to the atmospheric pressure which exerts

A PETROGRAPHICAL STUDY OF THE CHINESE AGALMATOLITES

Ⅰ. INTRODUCTION. The most popular Chinese agalmatolites are Shoushanshih (壽山石), Changhuashih (昌化石), Chingtienshih (青田石) and Kwanglushih (廣綠石). They are named after the names of places, as the name Shoushanshih is from     

DATA RELATING TO THE STUDY OF THE PROBLEM OF GLACIATION IN THE LOWER YANGTZE VALLEY

In a commemorable evening—I believe it was in the early part of December, 1933—when I happened to discuss the problem of Pleistocene climate in China with the late Dr. Davidson Black, I informed him, without     

GEOLOGY OF KENKOU ON THE HUNAN-KWANGTUNG BORDER AND ITS BEARING TO THE OROGENY OF THE NANLING RANGES

INTRODUCTION In the winter of 1932 and the spring of 1933, the Nanling Mountain ranges covering the borders of Hunan, Kwangtung, Kwangsi and Kueichou were studied by the members of the National Research Institute of Geology,     

QUATERNARY GLACIATION IN THE YANGTZE VALLEY

Eleven years ago when this society held its Third General Meeting I had the opportunity of calling your attention to certain strange deposits and topographical features that came under my notice in certain parts of North China. I showed you a number of striated boulders that could not be attributed to mere     

DISTRIBUTION OF THE DOMINANT TYPES OF THE FUSULINOID FORAMINIFERA IN THE CHINESE SEAS

Since the publication of the Fusulinidae of North China much information has been obtained from the southern seas of this country of the Carboniferous and Permian Periods. We are now in the position to form a birds eye     

Social Democracy and Contextual Unemployment: New Zealand Labour in 1990

This paper examines the spatial implications of social-democratic policy transformation. It does so by exploring the political consequences of residential contextual unemployment engendered by a Labour government which had once been dedicated to maintaining full employment. Faced with economic crisis, as Przeworski's model predicts [Capitalism and social democracy, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (1985)], New Zealand Labour, beginning in 1984, abandoned its traditional social-democratic statist policies, including the maintenance of full employment, and allowed unemployment to skyrocket under its stewardship. This meant subjecting its supporters to significant contextual cross-pressures, since many residential neighbourhoods became characterised by both high concentrations of Labour partisans, and by those recently unemployed by Labour's new market-liberal policies. Using original survey data merged with New Zealand census data, empirical findings show that residual partisan loyalties and a lack of a major party alternative constrained respondents' partisan disaffection, while channelling their disillusionment into both minor party voting and systemic, governmental criticisms - likely fuelling New Zealand's drive for electoral reform and a new system of proportional representation.     

Coordinated observations of two large Leonid meteor fireballs over northern New Mexico,and computer model comparisons

Abstract— This paper describes the coordinated results of several sets of measurements of two Leonid meteor fireballs over northern New Mexico at 1:32 and 3:06 MST, respectively, on the night of 1998 November 17. The measurements included visible band photometry on both events, as well as filtered 5890 Å all-sky images of the Na airglow. Also, for the 3:06 a.m. event, we obtained an infrasound measurement of the hydrodynamic yield. For the 1:32 a.m. event, we obtained a set of visible band charge-coupled device (CCD) camera images of the meteor train for times extending to 30 min after the initial impact. The measurement results have been combined to derive an optical efficiency for the intense early-time optical flash, and the total explosion yields and masses for both of the meteors. We have also done a set of numerical radiation, hydrodynamic, and chemistry computations to investigate the nature and distribution of the long-lasting airglow. We attribute the brightest visible airglow to atomic O 5577 Å line emission, with additional contributions from atomic Na emission and NO₂ chemiluminescence. The near-infrared atmospheric bands of molecular O₂ should be very strong as well. All of the band emissions are expected to show a hollow limb-brightened structure.
