围压作用下冻结砂土微结构变化的电镜分析

利用扫描电子显微镜，对饱水冻结兰州砂土在－５℃和围压（０－２２ＭＰａ）下进行结构观测，结合围压对强度影响的宏观特征分析发现：当Ｏ≤σ〈８ＭＰａ时，结构以压密为主，强化作用占优势，强度随围压的增大而增大；当８≤σ〈１６ＭＰａ时，颗粒出现破碎现象，某些颗粒接触点处的冰发生融化，粒间摩擦减少，致使强度随围压的增大而缓慢降低，当σ≥１６ＭＰａ时，颗粒破碎程度加剧，某些团粒中出现大的裂隙，结构联结破坏，导致     

球状星团M3水平支脉动不稳定带红边界附近的小变幅变星

半个世纪以前,Ｒｏｂｅｒｔｓ 和Ｓａｎｄａｇｅ 在验证Ｓｃｈｗａｒｚｓｃｈｉｌｄ 的理论发现时,在水平支ＲＲＬｙｒａｅ 变星缺口段的红端发现了两颗小变幅的变星。当时定不出类型,标以“？”。以后Ｓａｎｄａｇｅ 在做ＲＲ Ｌｙｒａｅ 变星统计研究时,竟不加解释地当作ＲＲａｂ 型星处理。半个世纪之间,没有人对这颗星的反常加以注意。我们用国内的ＣＣＤ 观测,又发现了一颗类似的小变幅变星,但变幅更小,周期更长。这颗星与以前发现的两颗一起,似乎构成ＲＲ Ｌｙｒａｅ 星的又一个次型。现有的变星脉动理论还不能对之加以解释。我们预计,这将再一次推动脉动理论发展。

Correlation of spectroscopic properties and substitutional sites of Cr3+ in aluminosilicates: I. Kyanite

Using the superposition model in conjunction with our crystal field analysis package recently developed for 3d ions doped at arbitrary low symmetry sites in crystals, the energy levels and statevectors have been predicted within the whole 3d ³ configuration of Cr³⁺ at the four possible triclinic sites in kyanite (Al₂O₃∶SiO₂). The values of the ground state zero-field splitting for each of the four Al sites are evaluated. The splittings of the lower excited state ² E as well as the admixture of ⁴ T ₂ state into ² E have also been determined. The predicted results are compared with the available experimental data on the four possible, but so far not uniquely identified, substitutional Cr³⁺ sites in kyanite thus enabling correlation of the spectroscopic properties and substitutional sites.

Small-scale mantle convection system and stress field under the Pacific plate

The existence of nonhydrostatic high-degree harmonics in the gravitational field of the earth has recently been determined using satellite and gravity observations. In this paper, we have applied the Goddard Space Flight Center GEM-8 gravity field model to calculate the small-scale mantle flow system under the Pacific plate. The resulting tectonic forces or stresses exerted by the flow currents show tensional forces under the Hawaiian Island chain and a system of latitudinal convection rolls under the East Pacific plate and are in agreement with geophysical theories.     

Bioassay of baltimore harbor sediments

Baltimore Harbor, a tributary area of the northern Chesapeake Bay, has recelved and is receiving large quantities of chemical pollutants. As part of a cooperative study to explore possible corrective treatment for existing pollution burdens, gross bioassay analyses were performed for sediments from nine representative stations, employing two species of fish, mummichogs (Fundulus heteroclitus) and spot (Leiostomus xanthurus), and one mollusc, the soft-shell clam (Mya arenaria). Acclimated organisms were exposed in static systems to a series of concentrations of suspended sediment from each station, to fuller's earth in suspension, and in control tanks for 48 hours. Parallel analysis of the sediment was performed for the metals, Pb, Cr, Zn, Ca, As, for PCB's and for hexane extracts. The sediments were all substantially polluted with low correlations among components. Twenty-four hour TLm and 48-hour TLm increased proportionately with sediment concentration but display species specificity. The relationships observed permit use of mummichog data to index gross toxicity of sediments throughout the harbor. Further comparison of mummichog 24-hour TLm value with benthie species diversity determined in a previous study permitted zoning of the entire harbor into highly toxic, moderately toxic, low toxic and slightly toxic zones. Gross toxicity of sediments determined by bioassay can therefore be used as an index of the suitability of the sediments for benthic macroinvertebrate communities.     

A matter of terminology — the ecological approach in geography: a re-examination of basic concepts

Ecology is receiving increased attention as a research focus for geography and other academic disciplines. A consideration of basic concepts and the relationship of such ideas to the organizing frameworks of individual disciplines is needed to define the position of ecology as a substantive field or methodological approach. Geographers are concerned with the identification and explanation of the spatial patterning of earth phenomena. The ecosystem concept, with an emphasis on structure, networks of interaction, and function, is quite useful for conducting such geographical investigations. It acquires enhanced value within the subfields of geography by refining the approach through topical foci. Cultural ecology is one example; in this case a system is studied in terms of how its various cultural and biophysical components relate to a cultural characteristic (s) selected as the focus of investigation. Ecology is thus viewed as a methodological approach with significant applications for geographic research.
