Experimental study of the effect of roughness and Reynolds number on fluid flow in rough‐walled single fractures: a check of local cubic law

Local cubic law (LCL) is one of the most commonly applied physical laws for flow in single fractures (SF) and fractured media. The foundation of LCL is Darcian flow. This experimental study examines if LCL is valid for flow in a single rough fracture and how the fracture roughness and Reynolds number (Re) affect flow. Similar to the Moody diagram for flow in pipes, a diagram for flow in a single rough fracture has been generated to relate the friction coefficient with Re and the roughness. Under the experimental condition of this study, flow appears to be substantially different from Darcian flow. The flow law of q ∝ eⁿJ^m appears to be valid for describing the flow scheme where q, e, and J are the unit width flux, the average aperture, and the hydraulic gradient. The value of the power index m is found to be around 0·83 ～ 0·98, less than what has been used in Darcian flow (m = 1). The power index n is around 11·2 and 13·0, much greater than the n value used in the LCL (n = 3), and it increases with the average velocity. The Moody type of diagram shows that the friction factor for flow in SFs is influenced by Re and the roughness. It decreases with Re when Re is small, and becomes less sensitive to Re when Re is large enough. It also increases with the roughness. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Construction of cDNA subtractive library from pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata Gould) with red color shell by SSH

The molecular basis of color polymorphism in the shells of the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata is largely unknown. We developed a red-shelled family line and used suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) to screen for differentially expressed genes in red- and non-red-shelled pearl oysters. We constructed forward and reverse cDNA subtractive libraries consisting of 2 506 and 797 clones, respectively. Among 343 randomly selected clones in the forward library, 304 sequences were identified in GenBank using BLASTx and BLASTn. Of the 304 sequences, 13 showed no similarity to known sequences and 291 were matched with known genes of the pearl oyster, including shematrin-1, shematrin-2, shematrin-6, shematrin-7, nacrein, nacrein-like protein, aspein for shell matrix protein, glycine-rich protein, mantle gene 5, 28S, EST00031, EST00036, 16S, and COΙ. In the reverse library, 7 clones were sequenced and analyzed by BLAST. Two sequences shared similarity with EST00036 from the P. fucata subtraction cDNA library, four with the P. fucata mitochondrial gene for 16S rRNA and 1 with P. fucata shematrin-2. We evaluated the expression of 12 genes from the forward library using RT PCR. Two sequences matched with 16S and COΙ so were considered to be false positives. The remaining 10 sequences were differentially expression in the red-shelled pearl oysters. Our results suggest that differential expression of these genes may be related to color variation in the red-shelled family line of the pearl oyster.

Seismic damage simulation in urban areas based on a high-fidelity structural model and a physics engine

Effective seismic damage simulation is an important task in improving earthquake resistance and safety of dense urban areas. There exist two significant technical challenges for realizing such a simulation: accurate prediction and realistic display. A high-fidelity structural model is proposed herein to accurately predict the seismic damage that was inflicted on a large number of buildings in an urban area via time-history analysis, with which the local damage to different building stories is also explicitly obtained. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed model are validated by a refined finite element analysis of a typical building. A physics engine-based algorithm is also proposed that realistically displays building collapse, thus overcoming the limitations of the high-fidelity structural model. Furthermore, a visualization system integrating the proposed model and collapse simulation is developed so as to completely display the seismic damage in detail. Finally, the simulated seismic damage of a real medium-sized Chinese city is evaluated to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed techniques, which can provide critically important reference information for urban disaster prevention and mitigation.     

Chemical composition of sediments from the subducting Cocos Ridge segment at the Southern Central American subduction zone

Subducted sediments play an important role in the magmatism at subduction zones and the formation of mantle heterogeneity, making them an important tracer for shallow crustal processes and deep mantle processes.Therefore, ascertaining the chemical compositions of different subduction end-members is a prerequisite for using subducted sediments to trace key geological processes. We reports here the comprehensive major and trace element analyses of 52 samples from two holes（U1414 A and U1381 C） dri...     

Pulse-length-tolerant features and detectors for sector-scan sonar imagery

This paper presents a neural-network-based system to detect small man-made objects in sequences of sector-scan sonar images created using signals of various pulse lengths. The detection of such objects is considered out to ranges of 150 m by using an experimental sector-scan sonar system mounted on a vessel. The sonar system considered in this investigation has three modes of operation to create images over ranges of 200, 400, and 800 m from the vessel using acoustic pulses of a different duration for each mode. After an initial cleaning operation performed by compensating for the motion of the vessel, the imagery is segmented to extract objects for analysis. A set of 31 features extracted from each object is examined. These features consist of basic object size and contrast features, shape moment-based features, moment invariants, and features extracted from the second-order histogram of each object. Optimal sets of 15 features are then selected for each mode and over all modes using sequential forward selection (SFS) and sequential backward selection (SBS). These features are then used to train neural networks to detect man-made objects in each sonar mode. By the addition of a feature describing the sonar's mode of operation, a neural network is trained to detect man-made objects in any of the three sonar modes. The multimode detector is shown to perform very well when compared with detectors trained specifically for each sonar mode setting. The proposed detector is also shown to perform well when compared to a number of statistical detectors based on the same set of features. The proposed detector achieves a 92.4% probability of detection at a mean false-alarm rate of 10 per image, averaged over all sonar mode settings.

黑龙江省四平山金矿床成矿作用及矿床成因：来自矿床地质、地球化学、锆石U-Pb年代学及H-O-S同位素的制约

四平山金矿床位于我国黑龙江省东部的完达山陆缘增生带内,矿体主要赋存于下白垩统四平山组,表现出明显的两阶段成矿作用特征。为进一步确定四平山金矿床的成矿作用及矿床成因,本次研究对其成矿地质特征、地球化学、成矿年代学及成矿物质来源进行了分析。地球化学分析结果表明：成矿花岗斑岩为具有高SiO₂（70.07%~72.93%）、（K₂O+Na₂O）（7.17%~8.42%）质量分数和右倾“海鸥型”稀土配分型式特征的A型花岗岩;含矿层状硅质岩中,Al/（Fe+Al+Mn）<0.32、Fe/Ti >20、(Fe+Mn)/Ti>20,并具有较高Fe₂O₃（0.18%～1.79%）、FeO（0.17%～0.96%）、MnO（0.03%~0.12%）、TiO₂（0.03%~0.04%）、Al₂O₃（0.30%~2.79%）和（K₂O+Na₂O）（0.07%~1.76%）质量分数,指示四平山金矿床形成于活动大陆边缘构造背景下与岩浆活动有关的热水沉积环境。四平山金矿床成矿花岗斑岩锆石U-Pb年龄为（113.5±0.7）Ma。H、O、S同位素分析结果（δD=-182.3‰~-84.0‰、δ¹⁸O_V-SMOW=6.5‰~14.3‰、δ³⁴S=-12.4‰~29.7‰）显示,成矿流体主要为大气降水,成矿物质具有以地层为主的多来源特征。综上,四平山金矿床为形成于燕山晚期活动大陆边缘构造背景下的热水沉积型矿床,太平洋板块持续俯冲造成了区域上大规模的拆沉作用,导致区域构造背景由挤压向伸展发生转换,此时形成的花岗斑岩岩浆运移至地壳浅部岩浆房加热上覆地层,在地壳浅部形成了温度与压力梯度带,促使地表的大气降水沿裂隙进入地层后形成流体循环系统,并不断萃取地层中的Au元素形成含矿流体。在成矿早阶段,当压力驱动含矿流体喷出地表后与地表水相遇快速冷却,成矿物质快速沉淀,形成含矿层状硅质岩和硅质胶结砾岩,并通过交代下伏流纹斑岩形成层状、似层状矿体;在成矿晚阶段,随着岩浆房提供的热动力减弱,含矿流体滞留在裂隙通道中或穿切进入早期固结的含矿层裂隙中,沉淀形成脉状-网脉状矿体。
