Distribution and significance of novel low molecular weight sterenes in an immature evaporitic sediment from the Jinxian Sag,North China

An unusual series of C₂₂–C₂₇ monounsaturated sterenes and C₂₄–C₃₀ tetracyclic terpanes (17,21-secohopanes) were detected in relatively high concentrations in an immature evaporitic marl sediment of the Jinxian Sag, Bohai Bay Basin, North China. The site of unsaturation in these novel sterenes is assigned tentatively to the D ring on the basis of mass spectral interpretation, which also distinguishes them from reported unsaturated sterenes. Other hydrocarbon biomarker or stable isotope characteristics are indicative of microbial (e.g. methyl hopanes), phytoplankton or higher plant (depleted δ¹³C values of isoprenoids and hopanes) inputs and an anoxic carbonate depositional environment (hexacyclic hopanes; tetracyclic terpanes). The hydrocarbon composition showed no obvious biodegradation and the relatively high concentration of unsaturated terpenoids (e.g. gammacerene) and low values of other established maturity parameters (T_s/T_m = 0.23; R_o = 0.44%; T_max = 417 °C), are consistent with sediments of low maturity. The novel, low molecular weight sterenes and the tetracyclic terpanes may be early diagenetic products of microbial sources in a carbonate environment.     

黔西南白层超基性岩墙锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素组成研究

文章对黔西南白层地区出露的燕山期超基性岩墙进行了单颗粒锆石SHRIMP U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素组成研究,获得A、B两组不同的锆石年龄.A组锆石呈不规则粒状,具不完整的宽大条带,12颗锆石的 SHRIMP U-Pb年龄加权平均值为(84±1)Ma,代表了超基性岩墙的侵位年龄;锆石Hf原位分析表明,176Hf/177Hf从0.282561到0282719,εHf(84 Ma)平均为-3.61,表明岩浆源区主要以富集地幔为主,并受到部分地壳物质的混染.B组锆石晶形完整,具典型的中酸性岩浆型振荡环带,3颗锆石的SHRIMP U-Pb模式年龄为409～450 Ma.176Hf/177Hf从0282379到0282440,εHf(t)平均为-3.77,均低于A组锆石,属于捕获锆石.据此认为84 Ma左右由于华南岩石圈伸展,软流圈地幔上涌,导致岩石圈富集地幔部分熔融,熔体上升过程中与409～450 Ma左右形成的少量地壳岩石发生混染,随后快速侵位冷凝而形成基性-超基性岩墙.白层地区84 Ma的超基性岩浆活动是整个华南西部燕山晚期(80～90 Ma)岩浆活动的一部分.右江褶皱带周缘的燕山晚期岩浆活动主要与大规模的Sn、W、Ag、Cu、Pb、Zn等矿床有关,但右江褶皱带内部的燕山晚期岩浆活动是否与以卡林型金矿为代表的低温热液矿床有成因上的联系,尚需更多矿床年代学资料的证实.

遥感图像空间分辨率改进值计算方法

为了克服超分辨重建后的遥感图像空间分辨率的界定还采用人工对比判读存在误差和结论不统一的缺点,利用调制传递函数、奈奎斯特采样定理和人眼极限频率,建立了一种新的空间分辨率客观评价方法。利用该方法计算超分辨率重建后的遥感图像相比原始遥感图像空间分辨率的提高倍数,从而推断出重建后遥感图像的空间分辨率的大小。在数值测试中,利用不同的超分辨率方法对分级变频矩形光栅图像进行重建,采用提出的空间分辨率评价方法,与归一化均方误差、峰值信噪比、信息熵、灰度平均梯度进行客观评价的结果一致。此方法为遥感图像空间分辨率改进值的计算提供了一种可行的量化模型。

Revisiting vertical structure of neutrino-dominated accretion disks: Bernoulli parameter, neutrino trapping and other distributions

We revisit the vertical structure of neutrino-dominated accretion flows (NDAFs) in spherical coordinates with a new boundary condition based on the mechanical equilibrium. The solutions show that NDAF is significantly thick. The Bernoulli parameter and neutrino trapping are determined by the mass accretion rate and the viscosity parameter. According to the distribution of the Bernoulli parameter, the possible outflow may appear in the outer region of the disk. The neutrino trapping can essentially affect the neutrino radiation luminosity. The vertical structure of NDAF is like a “sandwich”, and the multilayer accretion may account for the flares in gamma-ray bursts.     

Periodic orbits based on geometric structure of center manifold around Lagrange points

This study proposes an analytical method that determines the center manifold and identifies the reduced system on the center manifold. The proposed method expresses the center manifold through general equations containing only state variables, and not functions with respect to time. This is the so-called geometric structure of the center manifold. The location of periodic or quasi-periodic orbits is identified after the geometric structure of the center manifold is determined. The reduced system on the center manifold is described using ordinary differential equations, so that periodic or quasi-periodic orbits can be computed by numerically integrating the reduced system. The results indicate that the analytical method proposed in this study has higher precision compared with the Lindstedt-Poincaré method of the same order.     

Simulation of Lake-Groundwater Interaction under Steady-State Flow

MODFLOW is one of the most popular groundwater simulation tools available; however, the development of lake modules that can be coupled with MODFLOW is lacking apart from the LAK3 package. This study proposes a new approach for simulating lake - groundwater interaction under steady-state flow, referred to as the sloping lakebed method (SLM). In this new approach, discretization of the lakebed in the vertical direction is independent of the spatial discretization of the aquifer system, which can potentially solve the problem that the lake and groundwater are usually simulated at different scales. The lakebed is generalized by a slant at the bottom of each lake grid cell, which can be classified as fully submerged, dry, and partly submerged. The SLM method accounts for all lake sources and sinks, establishing a governing equation that can be solved using Newton's method. A benchmarking case study was conducted using a modified model setup in the LAK3 user manual. It was found that when there is a sufficient number of layers at the top of the groundwater model, SLM simulates an almost identical groundwater head as the LAK3-based model; when the number of layers decreases, SLM is unaffected while LAK3 may be at a risk of giving unrealistic results. Additionally, the SLM can reflect the relationship between the simulated lake surface area and lake water depth more accurately. Therefore, the SLM method is a promising alternative to the LAK3 package when simulating lake - groundwater interaction.
