Turbulent intensity and its similarity function over an Inner Mongolian grassland during spring

Macroscopic reason for the development of turbulences in fluid is the conjunction action of velocity and temperature shears. We use the 2008 spring flux observations in the surface layer over Inner Mongolian grassland, obtain the similarity functions of turbulent intensity under different stratification stability conditions, and calculate the clear day turbulent intensity in the spring, which is then analyzed and compared with the observed values of turbulent intensity. The results show that in the Inner Mo...     

基于大气电场与闪电资料的雷电临近预警方法

针对大气电场仪进行雷电预警误报率高的问题,提出了一种利用多站大气电场仪组网观测地面电场,并结合闪电定位系统的观测进行雷电预警的方法。该方法结合了大气电场仪与闪电定位仪的优点,利用电场强度阈值和闪电发生的距离阈值,得出雷电预警等级的方法。采用此方法可以降低仅用电场强度来预警所造成的误报率,并能估计出雷暴的移动方向。经检验,此方法TS评分为0.73,漏报率为0.21,空报率为0.09。此算法对于由远及近的雷电活动,或者距离很近的雷电活动有较高的预警准确率。算法对10km内的强雷暴预警效果最好。     

有效应力强度指标与总应力强度指标的关系

由总应力强度指标计算的 ,并不是试样破坏时的真实破裂角,而仅是一个假想的破裂角,与之对应的平面是一个假想的剪切破坏面。试验结果表明,试样破坏时的真实破裂角,是用有效应力强度指标 计算的 。分析论证了在关于土的抗剪强度计算的相关公式中,有效应力强度指标与总应力强度指标不可混用,且公式中有效应力强度指标应与有效应力相对应、总应力强度指标应与总应力相对应。     

Mycorrhizal Colonization Affects the Survival of Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) Nash Grown in Water Containing As(III)

The presence of arsenic (As) in water is of great public concern. Arsenic exists in three common valence states viz., As(0) metalloid arsenic, As(III) (arsenite) and As(V) (arsenate). Arsenite [As(III)] is the most toxic form among arsenicals which, predominates in anaerobic conditions, generally in flooded soils and in the water with high BOD. Experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of As(III) on the mycorrhization in vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) Nash) grass in hydroponics. Studies showed significant alteration in the mycorrhizal colonization in the roots of vetiver exposed to higher concentrations of As(III) starting from 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 to 5.0 mg/L prepared in 5% Hoagland nutrient solution without addition of phosphate ions. Considerable reduction in the mycorrhizal intensity (M) was observed in all the treatment sets as compared to the control suggesting a negative impact of the As(III) on the mycorrhizal association. Simultaneously, the study also showed that, As(III) is toxic to the vetiver plants having mycorrhizal association however plants with non‐mycorrhizal (cleansed) roots were found to be able to survive for a longer period exposed to As(III).     

Evaluation of the exact conditional spectrum and generalized conditional intensity measure methods for ground motion selection

Two existing, contemporary ground motion selection and modification procedures – (i) exact conditional spectrum (CS‐exact) and (ii) generalized conditional intensity measure (GCIM) – are evaluated in their ability to accurately estimate seismic demand hazard curves (SDHCs) of a given structure at a specified site. The amount of effort involved in implementing these procedures to compute a single SDHC is studied, and a case study is chosen where rigorous benchmark SDHCs can be determined for evaluation purposes. By comparing estimates from ground motion selection and modification procedures with the benchmark, we conclude that estimates from CS‐exact are unbiased in many of the cases considered. The estimates from GCIM are even more accurate, as they are unbiased for most – but not all – of the cases where estimates from CS‐exact are biased. We find that it is possible to obtain biased SDHCs from GCIM, even after employing a very diverse collection of intensity measures to select ground motions and implementing its bias‐checking feature, because it is usually difficult to identify intensity measures that are truly ‘sufficient’ for the response of a complex, multi‐degree‐of‐freedom system.

Silicate‐oxide mineral chemistry of mafic–ultramafic rocks as an indicator of the roots of an island arc: The Chilas Complex,Kohistan (Pakistan)

The Chilas Complex is a major lower crustal component of the Cretaceous Kohistan island arc and one of the largest exposed slices of arc magma chamber in the world. Covering more than 8000 km², it reaches a current tectonic width of around 40 km. It was emplaced at 85 Ma during rifting of the arc soon after the collision of the arc with the Karakoram plate. Over 85% of the Complex comprises homogeneous, olivine‐free gabbronorite and subordinate orthopyroxene–quartz diorite association (MGNA), which contains bodies of up to 30 km² of ultramafic–mafic–anorthositic association (UMAA) rocks. Primary cumulate textures, igneous layering, and sedimentary structures are well preserved in layered parts of the UMAA in spite of pervasive granulite facies metamorphism. Mineral analyses show that the UMAA is characterized by more magnesian and more aluminous pyroxene and more calcic plagioclase than those in the MGNA. High modal abundances of orthopyroxene, magnetite and ilmenite (in MGNA), general Mg–Fe–Al spatial variations, and an MFA plot of whole‐rock analyses suggest a calc‐alkaline origin for the Complex. Projection of the pyroxene compositions on the Wo–En–Fs face is akin to those of pyroxenes from island arcs gabbros. The presence of highly calcic plagioclase and hornblende in UMAA is indicative of hydrous parental arc magma. The complex may be a product of two‐stage partial melting of a rising mantle diaper. The MGNA rocks represent the earlier phase melting, whereas the UMAA magma resulted from the melting of the same source depleted by the extraction of the earlier melt phase. Some of the massive peridotites in the UMAA may either be cumulates or represent metasomatized and remobilized upper mantle. The Chilas Complex shows similarities with many other (supra)subduction‐related mafic–ultramafic complexes worldwide.

双轴应力下非贯通节理岩体压缩损伤本构模型

针对目前节理岩体损伤变量定义中大多仅考虑节理长度、倾角等几何性质,而未考虑节理抗剪强度等力学性质的不足,基于断裂力学中的由于单个节理存在引起的附加应变能增量与损伤力学中的损伤应变能释放量相关联的观点,推导出了在双轴应力下含单条非贯通闭合节理岩体的损伤变量计算公式,并根据断裂力学理论对双轴压缩荷载下的单个节理尖端应力强度因子计算方法进行了研究,得出了应力强度因子KⅠ、KⅡ的计算公式;同时考虑多节理间的相互作用,给出了单组单排及单组多排非贯通节理尖端应力强度因子计算公式,由此建立了相应的节理岩体双轴压缩损伤本构模型,并利用该模型进行了相应的算例分析。结果表明：对含单条非贯通闭合节理的岩体而言,当节理倾角小于其内摩擦角时,岩体强度与完整岩石相同,岩体损伤为0,而后随着节理倾角增加,岩体强度、损伤随节理倾角的变化分别呈开口向上及向下的抛物线,当节理倾角约为60°时,岩体损伤最大,强度最低。随着节理长度增加,岩体损伤增加,而随着节理内摩擦角的增加,岩体损伤则减小;对含单组单排非贯通闭合节理的岩体而言,当节理总长度一定时,随着单条节理长度的减小及节理条数的增加,岩体损伤则逐渐减小,但其减小幅度与节理条数并不呈线性关系。
