从陕西旬邑上新生界剖面看黄土高原新近系/第四系界线

新近系 /第四系界线在黄土高原大都以磁性 M/ Ga界线为界进行划分 ,它与岩性分界往往并不一致 ,后者都低或高于前者一小段距离。根据旬邑剖面的岩性、孢粉、古动物、磁化率、粒度及地化资料 ,并参考了其他一些剖面的岩性 ,认为以二者之间的过渡层底为界进行划分比较合理     

Infrasonic Signal Detection and Source Location at the Prototype International Data Centre

—?This paper describes an automatic and interactive data processing system designed to locate impulsive atmospheric sources with a yield of at least one kiloton by detecting and characterizing the airborne infrasound radiated by the source. The infrasonic processing subsystem forms part of a larger system currently under development at the Prototype International Data Center (PIDC) in Arlington, Virginia where seismic, hydroacoustic, radionuclide and infrasonic methods are used to detect and locate impulsive sources in any terrestrial environment. Infrasonic signal detection is achieved via a coincidence detector which requires both the normalized cross correlation and the short-term-average/long-term-average ratio of a beam in the direction of maximum correlation to exceed predetermined threshold values simultaneously before a detection is declared. The infrasound propagation model currently used to infer travel-time information assumes the horizontal sound speed across the ground to be 320.0?m/s. This crude model is currently being replaced by a model which predicts travel-time information through a ray-tracing algorithm for acoustic waves in an atmosphere with seasonal representations for temperature and wind. A novel feature of the source location process is the fusion of all available arrival information, whether it be seismic, hydroacoustic or infrasonic to locate a single source where it is reasonable to hypothesize a common source. In its final configuration the infrasonic subsystem will routinely process data from the global 60-station International Monitoring System (IMS) infrasonic network currently under development.

Inversions in sub-potassic nephelines

Sub-potassic nephelines in the system NaAlSiO₄(Ne)-KAlSiO₄(Ks) were synthesized under a variety of conditions and studied at room temperature and up to 1000 °C using an X-ray powder diffractometer. At low temperatures they do not have the hexagonal structure determined by Hahn and Buerger (1955) for natural nepheline. Samples with 0.7 to 2.5 mole % Ks have an orthorhombic supercell with parameters equivalent to a, 3a, 3c where a and c are Hahn and Buerger structure cell parameters. Nephelines with 0 to 0.7% Ks consist of two phases with different c axes; one of these phases has the orthorhombic supercell.Pure-Na nephelines (NaAlSiO₄) invert to a hexagonal phase with the Hahn and Buerger structure at 190 °±10 °C; this inversion temperature decreases with increasing Ks and a sample with 0.5% Ks inverts at 170 °±5 °C. The inversion is reversible and is displacive. Another reversible inversion begins at 875 °±10 °C in pure-Na nepheline; this inversion increases in temperature with increasing Ks and a sample with 1.8% Ks begins to invert at 960 °±10 °C.Superstructures with anomalous low-temperature cell parameters in sub-potassic nephelines are attributed to reversible collapse of the framework about the larger cation sites which must be occupied by small Na in subpotassic nephelines. Superstructures in natural nephelines are also related to framework collapse at a displacive inversion.     

Tritium-Verteilung,Durchmischungsverhältnisse und Altersstruktur der Wassermasse im Vierwaldstättersee

Tritium of thermonuclear origin was measured in four different depth profiles in the Lake of Lucerne. Its concentration distribution yielded information on the mixing within the water mass under observation. A simple model was established for approximating the age structure of the water layers.     

Temperature and heat flow measurements in a fumarolic area: Vulcano Island (Italy)

Vulcano, the southern Aeolian Island, is in fumarolic activity. The possibilities of measurements are limited by the field conditions as well as by the technological feasibility. In the presente work different tests were made in the field to measure temperature continuously: only the measurements made in dry steam gave good results because they avoid corrosion, and solution of the acid gases in the condensed in the ground. Field measurement show that the heat transfer is mainly due to convection. The values obtained in the field can be used to quantify the remote sensing of heat transfer.     

Erta'ale lava lake: heat and gas transfer to the atmosphere

Data on uncontaminated samples of volcanic gases can be counted on the fingers of one hand, yet estimation of total volcanic gas flow cannot be made without such data. In this paper the flux of gas from the lava lake to the atmosphere is calculated by a heat budget based on the excess heat loss caused by combustion of H₂ and CO and by the mass rate of loss of other gases on the basis of their ratios to H₂ and CO in the unoxidized gas samples. The estimated rates of loss of H₂O, CO₂, SO₂ and HCl are consistent with the rate of loss of heat if this heat is generated by crystallization and if the initial magma contains concentrations of gas appropriate for submarine basalt from oceanic ridges. The moderate activity of permanent degassing from the two active lava ponds studied gives a lower flux than that of other volcanoes.
