华北地区地壳水平运动演化特征研究

将华北地区划分为阴山-燕山、鄂尔多斯、山西、太行、冀鲁、胶辽6个块体，应用1995、1996、2001年GPS观测资料研究了这些块体的水平运动演化特征。结果显示出华北地区各块体的相对运动既有继承性也有差异性。华北各块体的总体水平运动趋势是向东漂移，但是个别块体，如鄂尔多斯块体，在1995～1996年期间出现了相对的西向运动。1995～1996年期间华北各块体的运动速率比1996～2001年期间的运动速率要大，特别是阴山-燕山块体。1995～1996年期间鄂尔多斯块体和相邻的山西块体表现为张性分离，阴山-燕山块体之间表现为左旋走滑，这一现象可能与1996～1999年期间发生在华北西北部的3个地震的孕震过程有关。进一步分析表明，加密的连续GPS观测可用于地震预报。     

Binaries with Total Eclipses in the LMC: Potential Targets for Spectroscopy

35 Eclipsing binaries presenting unambiguous total eclipses were selected from a subsample of the list of Wyrzykowski et al. (2003). The photometric elements are given for the I curve in DiA photometry, as well as approximate teff and masses of the components. The interest of these systems is stressed in view of future spectroscopic observations.

Compositions of Upper Mantle Fluids Beneath Eastern China: Implications for Mantle Evolution

The composition of gases trapped in olivine, orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene in Iherzolite xenoliths collected from different locations in eastern China has been measured by the vacuum stepped-heating mass spectrometry. These xenoliths are hosted in alkali basalts and considered as residues of partial melting of the upper mantle, and may contain evidence of mantle evolution. The results show that various kinds of fluid inclusions in Iherzolite xenoliths have been released at distinct times, which could be related to different stages of mantle evolution. In general, primitive fluids of the upper mantle (PFUM) beneath eastern China are dominated by H2, CO2 and CO, and are characterized by high contents of H2 and reduced gases. The compositions of PFUM are highly variable and related to tectonic settings. CO, CO2 and H2 are the main components of the PFUM beneath cratons; the PFUM in the mantle enriched in potassic metasomatism in the northern part of northeastern China has a high content of H2, while CO2 a     

Experimental Research on Shear Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Composite Beams Under Uniformly Distributed Load

An experimental program was carried out to study the shear behavior of the reinforced con-crete composite beam(RCCB)subjected to two-phase uniformly distributed load.A total of 12 reinforcedconcrete composite beams were tested:10 of them were the RCCB subjected to two-phase uniformly dis-tributed load,the other 2 were the comparative reinforced concrete beams cast at the same time as theRCCB subjected to one-phase uniformly distributed load.The interface of precast unit and recast concretewas natural and rough.The test range of the main composite factors:the ratio of precast section depth tocomposite section depth was from 0.35 to 0.65,the ratio of first-phase load moment to precast section ulti-mate bearing moment was from 0.25 to 0.65.Based on the test results,the stresses of the longitudinal rein-forcements and stirrups,the load-bearing properties of the interface,the crack state and the failure charac-teristics of the RCCB under uniformly distributed load are discussed.The effects of the stirrups,the     

The release of dissolved actinium to the ocean: A global comparison of different end-members

The measurement of short-lived ²²³Ra often involves a second measurement for supported activities, which represents ²²⁷Ac in the sample. Here we exploit this fact, presenting a set of 284 values on the oceanic distribution of ²²⁷Ac, which was collected when analyzing water samples for short-lived radium isotopes by the radium delayed coincidence counting system. The present work compiles ²²⁷Ac data from coastal regions all over the northern hemisphere, including values from ground water, from estuaries and lagoons, and from marine end-members. Deep-sea samples from a continental slope off Puerto Rico and from an active vent site near Hawaii complete the overview of ²²⁷Ac near its potential sources.The average ²²⁷Ac activities of nearshore marine end-members range from 0.4 dpm m^− 3 at the Gulf of Mexico to 3.0 dpm m^− 3 in the coastal waters of the Korean Strait. In analogy to ²²⁸Ra, we find the extension of adjacent shelf regions to play a substantial role for ²²⁷Ac activities, although less pronounced than for radium, due to its weaker shelf source. Based on previously published values, we calculate an open ocean ²²⁷Ac inventory of 1.35 * 10¹⁸ dpm ²²⁷Ac_ex in the ocean, which corresponds to 37 moles, or 8.4 kg. This implies a flux of 127 dpm m⁻² y^− 1 from the deep-sea floor. For the shelf regions, we obtain a global inventory of ²²⁷Ac of 4.5 * 10¹⁵ dpm, which cannot be converted directly into a flux value, as the regional loss term of ²²⁷Ac to the open ocean would have to be included.Ac has so far been considered to behave similarly to Ra in the marine environment, with the exception of a strong Ac source in the deep-sea due to ²³¹Pa_ex. Here, we present evidence of geochemical differences between Ac, which is retained in a warm vent system, and Ra, which is readily released [Moore, W.S., Ussler, W. and Paull, C.K., 2008-this issue. Short-lived radium isotopes in the Hawaiian margin: Evidence for large fluid fluxes through the Puna Ridge. Marine Chemistry]. Another potential mechanism of producing deviations in ²²⁷Ac/²²⁸Ra and daughter isotope ratios from the expected production value of lithogenic material is observed at reducing environments, where enrichment in uranium may occur. The presented data here may serve as a reference for including ²²⁷Ac in circulation models, and the overview provides values for some end-members that contribute to the global Ac distribution.
