Towards new applications of underwater photogrammetry for investigating coral reef morphology and habitat complexity in the Myeik Archipelago,Myanmar

Photogrammetry represents a non-destructive, cost-effective tool for coral reef monitoring, able to integrate traditional remote sensing techniques and support researchers’ work. However, its application to submerged habitats is still in early stage. We present new ways to employ Structure from Motion techniques to infer properties of reef habitats. In particular, we propose the use of Digital Surface Models and Digital Terrain Models for assessing coral colonies extension and height and discriminating between seabed and coral cover. Such information can be coupled with digital rugosity estimates to improve habitat characterization. DTM, DSM and orthophotos were derived and used to compute a series of metrics like coral morphologies, reef topography, coral cover and structural complexity. We show the potentialities offered by underwater photogrammetry and derived products to provide useful basic information for marine habitat mapping, opening the possibility to extend these methods for large-scale assessment and monitoring of coral reefs.     

The boyndie syncline,a D1 structure in the Dalradian of Scotland

The structure of the Dalradian rocks of the Banffshire coast has been re-examined. It is shown that D₁ structures face upwards along the entire section and the major Boyndie Syncline (Sutton and Watson 1956) must also be of D₁, age and not D₃ as proposed by Johnson (1962). D₂ structures are developed in the west, most strongly in the Portsoy Group and Cowhythe Gneiss where they may be related to the Portsoy Thrust (Elles 1931). East of the Cowhythe Gneiss D₂ structures are not developed but D₃ structures are of local importance. Porphyroblast growth is considered to be post-D₁, pre-D₃ related to the ‘active’ D₂ deformation in the west (Barrovian) and to the ‘static’ D₂ interval in the east (Buchan). The wider implications of these conclusions for Dalradian structure are briefly considered.

台风"碧利斯"的结构与江西暴雨诊断分析

利用T213资料、自动气象站加密资料和常规观测资料等,研究分析了0604号台风“碧利斯“的环流背景、移动路径、内部结构和外围暴雨的分布特征,并将其与0505号台风“海棠“、0513号台风“泰利“、0414号台风“云娜“,进行了对比分析.研究结果表明,台风暴雨与台风环流场、热力场的不对称有关,并不一定总是集中在环流中心附近.无论是对称结构,还是非对称结构,降水中心都与强对流云带位置相对应.“碧利斯“先西北行后向西折的路径,主要是受强大稳定的副热带高压引导,并表现为明显的不对称结构,东侧、南侧的积云对流较为旺盛,降水主要集中在移动路径的第三象限;850 hPa台风环流场表现为南部环流强盛,南海季风为西南急流的稳定维持提供了充沛的水汽条件;局地地形激发深厚的上升运动,进而产生庐山和赣南南部山区的大暴雨天气;垂直运动、散度、涡度、水汽通量、假相当位温等各物理量场,均与外围暴雨区有较好的对应关系.     

Parameter analysis for gate metal—oxide—semiconductor structures of ion-implanted 4H silicon carbide metal—semiconductor field-effect transistors

From the theoretical analysis of the thermionic emission model of current--voltage characteristics, this paper extracts the parameters for the gate Schottky contact of two ion-implanted 4H-SiC metal--semiconductor field-effect transistors (sample A and sample B for three and four times multiple ion-implantation channel region respectively) fabricated in the experiment, including the ideality factor, the series resistance, the zero-field barrier height, the interface oxide capacitance, the interface state density distribution, the neutral level of interface states and the fixed space charge density. The methods to improve the interface of the ion-implanted Schottky contact are given at last.

佳木斯地体深部构造特征

本文通过重磁资料的数据处理和反演、天然地震震源的统计以及深断裂与火山活动关系的研究提出:佳木斯地体与两侧的造山带有着截然不同的地壳物质组成和构造类型,晚白垩世以来,其深部构造活动性较两侧更强。     

中国西北地区剪切波三维速度结构

本文研究区包括中国西北地区几个不同的构造单元,即准噶尔、阿尔泰、天山、内蒙古褶皱、塔里木盆地、柴达木和祁连山地区.从群速度和剪切波速度模型上可以看出,除塔里木具有十分明显的稳定构造体特征外,其它地区均具构造活动地区的特征,但其速度表现各具特点,并与它们的构造演化史有关.莫霍界面的起伏基本上控制了布格重力异常的分布;另外,天山地区与北山的速度结构在土地幔盖层中差别很大,天山的上地幔高速盖层可能与应力场有关.
