A Study of a Short-Baseline Acoustic Positioning System for Offshore Vessels

The underwater position of the beacon determined using the conventional mode of the short-baseline acoustic positioning system (SBL system) is usually incorrect due to the inaccuracy of underwater-measured sound speed, which is affected by the environment. This article presents a corrected mode of SBL system to offer a precise solution for the underwater beacon position. The corrected mode using the formulation of Euclidean geometry converges quickly and efficiently, obtaining the precise position of the beacon. Finally, a simulation of coring missions of a vessel is presented to verify the accuracy of the corrected mode of the SBL system.     

大别山超高压变质带面理化榴辉岩中变形石榴石的几何学和运动学特征及其大地构造意义

大别山东部双河附近面理化榴辉岩中, 所有榴辉岩相矿物包括石榴石、绿辉石乃至金红石都受到强烈拉伸。用透射电镜可以观察到石榴石晶体中塑性变形的显微构造, 包括自由位错、位错环、位错壁和位错网。拉伸石榴石的应变轴比表现为 Ｘ＞ Ｙ＞ Ｚ。运动学标志如石榴石的不对称碎斑和旋转的金红石颗粒, 表明有旋转应变的作用。石榴石和金红石的福林系数分别为１１８ 和０９８。所有这些都表明石榴石是在接近于平面应变的条件下形成。由于石榴石颗粒在应变前后体积未变,因此也是在简单剪切作用条件下形成的。根据石榴石韧性变形要求的温度条件, 此种变形应在榴辉岩相条件下发生, 代表一次向南的逆冲作用, 经过展开后, 逆冲的方向为南西。根据石榴石的流变律, 其韧性变形的最低温度估计约为 ８００℃。石榴石中普遍有一组透入性破劈理, 它产生于面理化榴辉石折返后的角闪岩相早期, 形成于石榴石韧性变形之后。破劈理及其中反Ｓ形破劈理的运动指向表明有向北的滑动, 发生在主簿源复背斜形成之前; 主簿源复背斜使面理化榴辉岩的产状由倾向北改变为倾向南。根据面理化榴辉岩及其围岩的同位素年龄, 估算出面理化榴辉岩在２００～１９０ Ｍａ 期间的平均垂直折返速率为９ｍ ｍ ／ａ。此外, 还     

胶东半岛中生代构造演化的几何学和运动学

据岩石的变质相及变形特征可把胶东半岛分为5个地质单元,其构造几何关系由高至低为:1)板岩——砂岩单元;2)高压片麻岩——石英岩单元;3)大理岩——角闪岩单元;4)超高压变质单元,它经历了超过150km的深俯冲作用并快速折返至地表;5)片理化的混合岩穹隆单元,其为超高压变质单元叠加了混合岩化作用。这些构造单元均经历了相同的变形,具有NW指向的剪切特征。对比大别山构造学的研究结果,这种变形特征代表了超高压变质地体在折返过程中的运动学表现。混合岩穹隆中所残余含柯石英榴辉岩表明了胶东半岛和苏鲁地区具有相同的构造演化过程,烟台——青岛——五莲断裂不是华南板块与华北板块间的缝合带。     

新疆库鲁克塔格地区基性岩墙群几何学与岩浆超压估算

新疆库鲁克塔格地区发育大量密集的岩墙群,反映了该区所经历的岩浆活动及地壳伸展事件。本文基于多源遥感影像(Landsat 7 ETM+、SPOT、CORONA KH-4B、QuickBird2)共提取了区内2284条岩墙,在此基础上进行几何学分析和岩浆超压估算。这些岩墙主要侵入新元古代侵入岩及前寒武系沉积岩和变质岩。走向以NW向(300°~320°)为主,同时存在NE向(40°~70°)和近东西向岩墙。岩墙单体长90m~22.8km,平均4.3km,呈对数正态分布。垂直岩墙走向,沿NE60°方向取4条剖面计算地壳伸展率,由北至南分别为4.22%、1.83%、2.60%和7.40%。根据岩墙纵横比(长度/厚度),计算获得岩墙侵位时岩浆超压为7.9MPa(E=10GPa)~23.7MPa(E=30GPa)。该区同时出露新元古代和二叠纪岩墙群,其空间分布与花岗岩有密切关联,为多种构造背景的产物,且经历了多期构造叠加和改造。     

City model enrichment

The combination of mobile communication technology with location and orientation aware digital cameras has introduced increasing interest in the exploitation of 3D city models for applications such as augmented reality and automated image captioning. The effectiveness of such applications is, at present, severely limited by the often poor quality of semantic annotation of the 3D models. In this paper, we show how freely available sources of georeferenced Web 2.0 information can be used for automated enrichment of 3D city models. Point referenced names of prominent buildings and landmarks mined from Wikipedia articles and from the OpenStreetMaps digital map and Geonames gazetteer have been matched to the 2D ground plan geometry of a 3D city model. In order to address the ambiguities that arise in the associations between these sources and the city model, we present procedures to merge potentially related buildings and implement fuzzy matching between reference points and building polygons. An experimental evaluation demonstrates the effectiveness of the presented methods.     

Thin Domain Walls in Lyra Geometry

This paper studies thin domain walls within the frame work of Lyra Geometry. We have considered two models. First one is the thin domain wall with negligible pressures perpendicular and transverse direction to the wall and secondly, we take a particular type of thin domain wall where the pressure in the perpendicular direction is negligible but transverse pressures are existed. It is shown that the thin domain walls have no particle horizon and the gravitational force due to them is attractive.     

球面几何构建欧拉极的方法

欧拉旋转可用来描绘刚性板块在球体上的运动,并用于古大陆的再造.一般构建欧拉极的方法是通过匹配等时线、海底磁异常、转换断层和古地磁数据等来确定的.但是在一些地质环境下,不能直接构建欧拉极.本文直接根据古板块位置图,从几何上构建欧拉极,从而为古大陆重建提供了一个新途径.本文主要介绍了在球面几何上构建欧拉极的方法原理,并编写了相应的程序功能.选取了印度大陆0 Ma和50 Ma的位置图作为实例计算了欧拉极.由本方法计算得到的欧拉极将板块旋转后的位置,与原始古板块位置图几乎完全重合.说明本文构建欧拉极的方法是正确而有效的.     

Experimental investigations on the geometry and connectivity of pore space in organic-rich Wufeng and Longmaxi shales

The nano-scale pore systems of organic-rich shale reservoirs were investigated from Upper Ordovician Wufeng and Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formations in southeast Sichuan Basin. These two formations are the most important target plays of shale gas development in China. The purpose of this article is to assess the geometry and connectivity of multi-scale pore systems, and to reveal the nature and complexity of pore structure for these over-mature gas shales. To achieve these objective, total organic carbon, mineralogy, image analyses by focused ion beam-SEM, low pressure nitrogen adsorption, mercury injection capillary pressure (MICP) and spontaneous fluid [deionized (DI) water and n-decane] imbibition were performed.Most of the visible pores from SEM work in Wufeng and Longmaxi shales are within nm- and μm-size regimes and belong to organic matter (OM) pores. The shapes of OM pore in Longmaxi samples are elliptical, bubble-like, irregular or rounded. Wufeng pores are mainly irregular, linear and faveolated, even though two shales have small depth difference, as well as similar thermal maturity, kerogen type and TOC content. Nano-scale pores in Longmaxi are mainly associated with narrow platelike or slitlike pores with pore size of 3–50 nm; while inkbottle pores are dominant in Wufeng samples and over 88% of the pore volume is contributed by pores with diameter <20 nm. Overall, porosity, pore volume and surface area values from Wufeng samples are much higher than those in Longmaxi, which is mainly correlated with the different TOC contents and mineral compositions. MICP tests show that a total of 5 inflection points (indicative of different connected pore networks) are identified in all pressure regions for Longmaxi, while only 2 for Wufeng in high pressure region with the associated permeability at nano-darcy range. Imbibition curves of n-decane are divided into three stages: the initial stage (Stage Ⅰ), linear imbibition stage (Stage Ⅱ) and late imbibition stage (Stage Ⅲ), and the slopes of linear imbibition stage are around 0.5, suggesting well-connected pore spaces for n-decane. In contrast, imbibition curves for DI water are divided in two stages with linear slopes of between 0.25 and 0.5, indicating moderately-connected pore networks for the movement of DI water. This is consistent with the mixed-wet nature of these shales, with observed weak wettability for hydrophilic, while complete wetting for hydrophobic fluids.
