基于热力学并考虑体变及滞回效应的土-水特征曲线模型

基于热力学内变量理论,提出能综合考虑毛细滞回效应和非饱和土体积变形影响的土-水特征曲线模型。热力学第二定律推导结果表明：毛细滞回现象和塑性变形本质上是一种耗散行为;吸力和饱和度的变化不仅与流相变化直接相关,而且也受到固相体积变化的约束与影响;土-水特征曲线的流相体积变化与固相变形之间存在相互耦合作用。从微观上阐明滞回现象产生的机制以及变形对吸力的影响,建立了考虑体变及滞回效应的土-水特征曲线一般性模型。然后采用边界面塑性理论,在只增加两个新参数的情况下,建立了一个简化的能描述毛细滞回及塑性孔隙比变化影响的新模型。最后,利用已有试验数据对这一模型进行了验证,结果表明,新模型能考虑土体变形的影响,并能较为准确地描述毛细滞回现象,模型预测结果与已有的试验数据吻合较好。     

2014年2月12日新疆于田7.3级地震的震源参数研究

2014年2月12日新疆于田发生MS7.3地震,本文利用新疆区域数字地震台网记录到的前震和余震地震序列的波形资料,对S波记录谱进行仪器响应、传播路径和场地响应的校正后,基于Brune模型,利用遗传算法反演了于田地震序列102次ML≥3.0级地震的地震矩、视应力、拐角频率等震源参数。结果表明,该地震序列震级为3.0～5.0级;地震矩为3.46×1011～2.08×1015N?m;视应力为1.48×105～1.16×106Pa,均值1.71×105 Pa;拐角频率为1.4～7.1Hz。通过分析视应力及拐角频率随时间的变化特征可知,于田7.3级地震前震序列的视应力明显高于余震序列,而前震序列的拐角频率明显低于余震序列。主震前视应力出现高值,表明在主震区积聚了较多的应力,随后在应力值降低后的缓慢升高过程中发震,由于释放了大量的应力,震后视应力值又逐渐降低,表现为低应力的余震破裂。     

中国东北地区中尺度对流复合体的时空分布特征

普查2005年5月1日至2008年9月30日FY-2C每隔30 min一次的红外云图,根据修正的MCC（Mesoscale Convective Complexes）标准,统计分析中国东北地区出现的MCC变化。结果表明：4 a共出现了22个MCC,其中19个出现在7-8月;东北地区MCC生成源地有明显的地域特点,MCC的生成与大兴安岭的地形密切相关,而辽宁和吉林东部极少生成MCC。中国东北地区MCC平均生命史为9.3 h,比美洲及中国南方地区都短,而≤-52℃和≤-32℃冷云罩面积明显大于以上两个区域;东北地区具有明显的夜发性特征,近85 %的MCC生成于午后到傍晚,15-24时是MCC对流最旺盛的时段。     

A theoretical study of correlation between scaled energy and earthquake magnitude based on two source displacement models

The correlation of the scaled energy, ê = E_s/M₀, versus earthquake magnitude, M_s, is studied based on two models: (1) Model 1 based on the use of the time function of the average displacements, with a ω^-2 source spectrum, across a fault plane; and (2) Model 2 based on the use of the time function of the average displacements, with a ω^-3 source spectrum, across a fault plane. For the second model, there are two cases: (a) As τ ≒ T, where τ is the rise time and T the rupture time, lg(ê) ~ -M_s; and (b) As τ ≪ T, lg(ê) ~ -(1/2)M_s. The second model leads to a negative value of ê. This means that Model 2 cannot work for studying the present problem. The results obtained from Model 1 suggest that the source model is a factor, yet not a unique one, in controlling the correlation of ê versus M_s.     

Climate control on summer precipitation in the Source Region of Three Rivers,China: East or South Asian summer monsoon?

ABSTRACT

The Source Region of Three Rivers (SRTR) has experienced wetter summer seasons than before in recent decades due to climate change. As the most important source of surface water, precipitation plays a key role in supplying the three largest rivers. This study investigates the impacts of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) and the South Asian summer monsoon (SASM) on precipitation in the SRTR. Using wavelet analysis tools, we found that: (i) summer precipitation in the SRTR showed notably different responses to the monsoon variability among the 14 stations studied; (ii) the influence of the EASM and SASM on summer precipitation was stronger in the southern and eastern SRTR; but (iii) this influence quickly dampened from southeast to northwest and became almost indiscernible in the northwestern SRTR. This research may help to increase the accuracy of long-term monsoon-rainfall prediction and improve water resource management in the SRTR.

Non-point-source nitrogen and phosphorus loadings from a small watershed in the Three Gorges Reservoir area

Non-point-source pollution has become a major threat to the water quality of the Three Gorges Reservoir(TGR);however,nutrient loadings from terrestrial sources are unclear due to a lack of in situ monitoring.A representative small watershed in the central part of the TGR area was selected to monitor the loss of nitrogen(N) and phosphorous(P) continuously along with the runoff from 2007 through 2009 to understand the exact sources and loadings.Results show that the non-point-source nitrogen and phosphorus comes mainly from the storm runoff from residential areas,citrus orchards and sloping croplands,which contributes up to 76% of the loadings in this watershed.Thus,a crucial measure for controlling non-point-source pollution is to intercept storm runoff from the three sources.Paddy fields provide a sink for non-point-source N and P by intercepting the runoff and sediment along with their different forms of nitrogen and phosphorus.The N and P removal efficiency by paddy fields from residential areas is within the range of 56% to 98%.Paddy fields are an important land-use option for reducing the non-point-source loading of N and P in the TGR area.     

双能CT的基本原理、应用和未来展望(英文)

断层影像(CT)的图像对比度与扫描所用的X光源能谱分布有很大关系。传统CT使用具有能谱分布的一个光源进行成像,有时会出现信息模糊致使两种不同材料在CT图像上完全相同。双能CT使用两个不同分布的能谱对物体进行成像,能够消除单能谱情况下的信息模糊。虽然双能CT的基本概念由来已久,但最近商业系统的出现使双能CT迅速成为一个热点。我们首先概述了双能CT的基本物理原理和双能信号处理方法,包括促使双能CT进入现代医学成像的关键技术。其次,双能CT的应用已非常广泛,本文从其在临床应用角度进行了详细介绍使读者有所了解。最后,我们简要探讨了当前的两个技术发展领域:光子技术探测器和技术合成CT。     

美国俄亥俄州橡树-山毛榉混交林森林碳储量研究

本研究量化了美国俄亥俄州橡树-山毛榉混交林森林碳储量,研究结果表明森林碳密度的增长率与其商品材积和总材积的增长率是一致的。橡树-山毛榉混交林连年增长量（CAI）和年平均增长量（MAI）高峰值分别出现在第23和46年。对于地上碳储量而言,其CAI和MAI最高值分别出现在第26年和53年。对于地上碳密度和地上商品材碳密度,其MAI高峰出现在第30年,与其同时间内总蓄积量和商品材的蓄积量出现的情况一致。了解了森林碳储量的增长和蓄积量的增加模式是相近的道理,有助于我们理解森林蓄积量增长的管理模式过渡到森林碳储量管理的模式。     

Research Note: Internal/external seismic source wavefield separation and cancellation

A compact representation is obtained for the separation of a scalar wavefield on a closed surface into parts due to internal and external sources. The formula assumes that the total field and its gradients are known on the surface, as is the exact Green function of the medium. The derivation involves four rather straightforward applications of Green’s theorem or the representation theorem, though it is a remarkable result in that waves from either source that traverse the boundary many times are appropriately separated. The intermediate results at the four steps of the derivation also shed light on the possibility of acoustic shielding from unwanted sources without knowledge of the Green function for the medium.
