Optical Flash of GRB 990123: Constraints on the Physical Parameters of the Reverse Shock

The optical flash accompanying GRB 990123 is believed to be powered by the reverse shock of a thin shell. With the best-fit physical parameters for GRB 990123 and the assumption that the parameters in the optical flash are the same as in the afterglow, we show that: 1) the shell is thick rather than thin, and we have provided the light curve for the thick shell case which coincides with the observation; 2) the theoretical peak flux of the optical flash accounts for only 3×10~-4 of the observed. In order to remove this discrepancy, the physical parameters, the electron energy and magnetic ratios, εe and εB, should be 0.61 and 0.39, which are very different from their values for the late afterglow.     

Experimental Research on Microscopic Indicators of Temperature＇ s Returning-to-Zero in Deformation of Calcite and Discussions of Correlation Problem

In order to determine the degree of returning-to-zero of temperatures of deformed calcite, a series of rock-breaking experiments were designed to test calcite-rich limestone samples under fixed confining pressures and different temperatures. The consolidated deformed samples in their initial state were observed under a microscope and the microscopic indicators in different zero-returning states were put forward, thus providing a microscopic foundation for evaluation of reliability of dating values of deformation in calcite. At last, the correction of dating values of deformation for samples whose temperature has not yet returned to zero is discussed.     

邹城市峄山省级地质公园揭碑开园

9月15日上午，峄山省级地质公园揭碑开园仪式在邹城市峄山举行。山东省国土资源厅领导及济宁市、邹城市有关领导和部门负责同志出席了揭碑开园仪式，并参观游览了峄山地质公园。峄山省级地质公园位于邹城市市区东南部，总面积约80平方千米。主要包括“七山一水”为主的自然地质景观和人文历史景观。作为主要标志、第一高峰的峄山，海拔582．8米，素有“邹鲁灵秀”、“岱南奇观”之美誉，被誉为“神州怪石第一山”、“天下第一奇山”。区内纵横交错的花岗岩节理，直插天表的花岗岩奇峰，     

淄川区加强汛期地质灾害防治工作

一是制定防灾预案。淄川区制定下发了《2005年汛期地质灾害防灾预案》，将6—10月份划定为重点防范期，明确了汛期易发生地质灾害点的分布、影响范围，提出了防范对策和措施。二是建立健全群策群防网络。实行地质灾害防治乡镇政府负责制，国土资源部门统一管理，水利、农业、林业、交通等有关部门积极配合，建立区、镇、村三级群测群防网络，将灾害点的监测和防治任务落实到具体的单位，做到任务到人，责任到人。三是建设防治队伍。组建地质灾害监测队伍，完善预警机制，做到快速反应；组建地质灾害抢险队伍，一旦出现灾情立即出动；组建救灾队伍，遇到灾情后，能使重要的生产、交通等尽快恢复，使人民群众的生活得到妥善安置。     

对月日潮汐摩擦耗散的估计

月日潮汐摩擦和地球惯量矩变化是日长长期变化的主要原因．在本文中，利用最新的地球物理和古生物钟数据，对过去15亿年以来的月日潮汐摩擦、地球惯量矩变化和日长长期变化等作了数值对比研究．由此得到二个重要结论：一是仅利用地球的自转形变不能解释J2的变化，这说明地球的重力分异现象至今仍存在着；其二是在几亿年前的潮汐摩擦比现在大得多，若取潮汐耗散与距离的立方成反比时，理论结果与由古生物钟得到的回归年日数和朔望月日数数据较为符合。     

花岗岩风化壳离子吸附型稀土矿床成矿特征及快速评价方法的初步探讨

本文论述了广西花岗岩风化壳离子吸附型稀土矿床的主要成矿特征,探讨其快速评价方法有关问题。认为该类型矿床在风化壳中的稀土氧化物含量具有分带性,一般存在上贫下富分布规律,并探讨了铈族稀土上富下贫、钇族稀土下富上贫形成机制和分布规律。关于探讨找矿快速评价时,指出:应尽量收集前人资料,重视野外踏勘选点、择优评价工作中涉及有关样品采集及半定量与定量分析方法问题。     

Progresses in geology and hazards analysis of Tianchi Volcano

A number of different lahars have been recognized from a systematic survey of a mapping project. The high setting temporamre feature of the deposits indicates a relationship between the lahar and the Millennium eruption event of Tianchi Volcano. The lahars caused a dramatic disaster. Recognize of the huge avalanche scars and deposits around Tianchi Volcano imply another highly destructive hazard. Three types of different texture of the avalanche deposits have been recognized. There was often magma mixing processes during the Millennium eruption of Tianchi Volcano, indicating a mixing and co-eruption regime of the eruption.
