新证据支持地球早期岩浆分两层说法

一份最新的调查表明,在地球诞生之初的数百万年里,围绕着地核的熔融物划分为泾渭分明的两层,最下面一层的密度几乎是最上层,也就是最接近地面那一层的2倍。研究者收集数据的方法是先在金刚石中对玄武岩(火山岩的一种)进行挤压,所需的压强是地球海洋表面大气压的60万倍,或者等同于距地表1 400 km的深层岩石所受到的压强。微小的钻石砧是为数不多的可以承受如此大压强的材料之一。     

土-水特征曲线预测非饱和土的抗剪强度对比研究

目前,非饱和土的工程性质已成为岩土工程界研究的热点问题,而非饱和土的抗剪强度的研究对土的工程性质尤为重要。笔者总结了4种用土-水特征曲线预测非饱和土的抗剪强度的公式,用5个Bar的压力板仪测得了马家沟Ⅰ号滑坡体上土体的土-水特征曲线,并采用MATLAB软件,利用Van Genuchten模型对试验数据进行拟合;用国际先进的GDS非饱和反压剪切仪对控制基质吸力为50kPa和100kPa的非饱和土进行直剪试验,得到了相应的抗剪强度。用土-水特征曲线对非饱和土抗剪强度的4种预测值与试验结果进行对比分析,验证各预测公式的准确性,总结其优缺点。最后得出Fredlund预测公式的准确性最高,黄润秋预测公式最为简单易行。

波列振幅衰减测桩法的研究与应用(Ⅱ)——桩身成型质量的检测

通过对波动、振动和尾波的特征分析，提出以足够大的力冲击桩顶，在桩顶附近记录综合波列图，利用其振幅衰减、周期变化和反射波震相等判断桩身成型质量：波列周期均匀且较小，同时波列振幅衰减较快，而又未见明显反射波震相者桩身成型良好；而有缺陷如断裂、缩径等时波列振幅衰减变慢，反射波震相明显，且有大周期出现.它对桩的浅部（特别是桩顶下5米以内的）缺陷检测特别有效.另外利用动态PS曲线也可判断桩身成型质量：曲线较平滑者，桩身成型良好；曲线出现弯折者桩身存在缺陷，缺陷程度可参照承载力受影响大小确定.

The peculiar case of the “double-humped” super-luminous supernova SN 2006oz

SN 2006oz is a super-luminous supernova with a mysterious bright precursor that has resisted explanation in standard models.However,such a precursor has been predicted in the dual-shock quark nova model of super-luminous supernovae–the precursor is the supernova event while the main light curve of the super-luminous supernova is powered by the Quark-Nova（explosive transition of the neutron star to a quark star）.As the supernova is fading,the Quark-Nova re-energizes the supernova ejecta,producing a＂double-humped＂light curve.We show that the quark nova model successfully reproduces the observed light curve of SN 2006oz.     

Noise reduction methods in the analysis of near infrared lunar occultation light curves for high angular resolution measurements

A lunar occultation （LO） technique in the near-infrared （NIR） provides angular resolution down to milliarcseconds for an occulted source, even with ground- based 1 m class telescopes. LO observations are limited to brighter objects because they require a high signal-to-noise ratio （S/N ~40） for proper extraction of angular diameter values. Hence, methods to improve the S/N ratio by reducing noise using Fourier and wavelet transforms have been explored in this study. A sample of 54 NIR LO light curves observed with the IR camera at Mt Abu Observatory has been used. It is seen that both Fourier and wavelet methods have shown an improvement in S/N compared to the original data. However, the application of wavelet transforms causes a slight smoothing of the fringes and results in a higher value for angular diameter. Fourier transforms which reduce discrete noise frequencies do not distort the fringe. The Fourier transform method seems to be effective in improving the S/N, as well as improving the model fit, particularly in the fainter regime of our sample. These methods also provide a better model fit for brighter sources in some cases, though there may not be a significant imorovement in S/N.     

SN 2009ip and SN 2010mc as dual-shock Quark-Novae

In recent years a number of double-humped supernovae （SNe） have been discovered. This is a feature predicted by the dual-shock Quark-Nova （QN） model where an SN explosion is followed （a few days to a few weeks later） by a QN explo- sion. SN 2009ip and SN 2010mc are the best observed examples of double-humped SNe. Here, we show that the dual-shock QN model naturally explains their light curves including the late time emission, which we attribute to the interaction between the mixed SN and QN ejecta and the surrounding circumstellar matter. Our model applies to any star （O-stars, luminous blue variables, Wolf-Rayet stars, etc.） provided that the mass involved in the SN explosion is ~ 20 Mo which provides good conditions for forming a QN.     

0.6～2.0GPa压力下部分熔融角闪辉长岩的纵波波速

利用超声波透射-反射法,测量了0.6～2.0 GPa、最高1 085℃条件下角闪辉长岩的纵波波速(vp),详细统计了部分熔融阶段实验产物组分的体积百分含量,利用矿物含量和弹性参数,计算了角闪辉长岩的纵波波速.实验测量和理论计算显示了较一致的vp-t关系,即高压下角闪辉长岩的vp随温度升高先缓慢降低,在温度约800～900℃后转而大幅下降.实验产物显示,样品在温度达812℃(0.6 GPa)、865℃(1.0 GPa)和919℃(2.0 GPa)后发生矿物脱水和部分熔融,熔体含量随温度升高显著增加.熔体是导致高温阶段岩石vp快速降低的主要原因.在初熔阶段vp随熔体增加而降低尤为显著,可能是初熔时矿物脱水生成的自由水及含水量高的熔体,以微细熔体薄膜浸润矿物边界或裂隙所导致.     

膨胀土干湿循环过程孔径分布试验研究及其应用

采用压汞法对膨胀土干湿循环过程孔隙大小分布的演化规律进行了试验研究,结果表明,随着循环次数的增加,膨胀土的总孔隙体积、孔隙率和平均孔径等微结构参数均递增;分析了试验结果产生偏差的原因,其一是干湿循环过程中膨胀土试样的体积收缩,其二是孔隙形状和测试压力有限的影响,在此基础上对试验数据进行了合理修正。结合毛细管模型,利用修正的孔径分布曲线推算了膨胀土干湿循环过程中的土-水特征曲线,并分析了干湿循环过程中基质吸力的变化规律：以含水率28%为分界点,含水率大于该值时基质吸力随循环次数N的增加而线性递增,含水率小于该值时基质吸力随循环次数N的增加而线性递减;在此基础上,建立了基质吸力与循环次数之间的关系,为解释膨胀土力学特性的干湿循环效应开辟了一条新途径。
