Developing a bivariate spatial association measure: An integration of Pearson's r and Moran's I

 This research is concerned with developing a bivariate spatial association measure or spatial correlation coefficient, which is intended to capture spatial association among observations in terms of their point-to-point relationships across two spatial patterns. The need for parameterization of the bivariate spatial dependence is precipitated by the realization that aspatial bivariate association measures, such as Pearson's correlation coefficient, do not recognize spatial distributional aspects of data sets. This study devises an L statistic by integrating Pearson's r as an aspatial bivariate association measure and Moran's I as a univariate spatial association measure. The concept of a spatial smoothing scalar (SSS) plays a pivotal role in this task. Received: 07 November 2000 / Accepted: 02 August 2001     

双重介质含水层中井水位潮汐相位滞后现象的理论分析

简略地介绍了双重介质含水层模型；推导出引潮力作用下双重介质含水层中渗流运动的偏微分方程；将此泛定的方程与潜水的Boulton方程进行数学类比，从而得出一个新的迟后给水项，为解释固体潮致井水位振荡相位滞后现象奠定了物理基础；通过对该泛定方程的分析，还发现该迟后给水项与深部含水层中存在的一种潮汐液流振荡现象有关．

From surface electrical properties to spontaneous potentials in porous media

This paper deals with the electrical double layer and the related properties of porous media. In particular, the electrical conductivity, the streaming potential, and the membrane potential are described in a self-consistent set of equations. All these properties are shown to be governed by fluid-matrix interface properties, as well as four geometrical parameters.     

Asymmetric fuzzy relation analysis method for ranking geoscience variables

A fuzzy relation analysis method is used to derive weights for qualitative variables based on their partial order relations. Two asymmetric measure indexes (incidence coefficient and probability difference) are proposed to measure the asymmetric associations between geoscience variables from which the partial order relations can be constructed. The fuzzy relation analysis method can be implemented in combination with the asymmetric measure indexes leading to new methods for pattern overlay and data integration in mineral potential prediction. Two types of models are proposed and illustrated by two artificial examples: one for predicting targets for undiscovered deposits, and the other for estimating the mineral resource potential of the targets.     

Histogram and scattergram smoothing using convex quadratic programming

An algorithm, based on convex quadratic programming, is proposed to smooth sample histograms. The resulting smoothed histogram remains close to the original histogram and honors target mean and variance. The algorithm is extended to smooth sample scattergrams. The resulting smoothed scattergram remains close to the original scattergram shape and the two previously smoothed marginal distributions and honors the target correlation coefficient.     

The use of sintered diamond anvils in the MA8 type high-pressure apparatus

A new multi-anvil type high-presure apparatus has been developed using sintered diamond anvils to generate pressures over 30 GPa and temperatures up to about 2000°C. A maximum sample volume of about 1 mm³ is available in this system. The pressure was confirmed by dissociation of forsterite into Mg-perovskite and periclase. The basic techniques and problems in utilizing sintered diamond in the MA8 type high-pressure apparatus are discussed with an emphasis on the future prospect of incorporating simultancous X-ray diffraction observation.
