Earthquake resistant construction techniques and materials on Byzantine monuments in Kiev

The study of the behaviour of historic buildings that have suffered from earthquakes has become a valuable tool for the understanding of earthquake resistant construction techniques and materials. Byzantine monuments of the 11–13th century in Kiev have been studied to provide insights into their effective dynamic properties facing severe earthquake history in the area. The recessed brickworks according to the “concealed course” construction technique of the St. Sophia Cathedral (11th century), the Church of St. Michael in the Vydubytskyi Monastery (11th century), the Tithe Church of the Assumption of the Virgin (10th century) and the Cathedral of Assumption of the Virgin (11th century) in the Monastery of the Caves (Pecherskyi monastery) in Kiev were studied and the material properties of bricks and lime mortars with ceramic fill were investigated (mechanical strength tests, mineralogical, chemical and microstructural analysis). The results show major similarities with those of the Byzantine monuments in Istanbul (Theodosian Walls and Hagia Sophia — 6–11th century construction phases), giving evidence of earthquake resistant construction techniques and materials allowing for continuous stresses and strains. Hence, didactics on proper restoration techniques and materials are deduced aiming at their present safety in the face of future earthquakes.     

AMSU资料变分同化及在暴雨数值模拟中的应用研究

在中尺度数值模拟中,利用中国气象科学研究院数值天气预报创新基地开发的GRAPES三维变分同化系统,对AMSU-A/B微波遥感资料进行了同化试验,研究了这种资料在我国夏季暴雨数值预报中的作用。以2003年7月4日的一次暴雨过程为例,分析了同化结果及模拟结果,结果表明:(1)单独同化AMSU-A资料主要改进了初始温度场,而单独同化AMSU-B资料主要改进了初始湿度场;(2)无论是同化AMSU-A资料还是同化AMSU-B资料,对暴雨预报都有一定的改进作用,但是同化AMSU-B资料的改进作用更明显;(3)同时同化AMSU-A/B资料比只使用其中一种资料的模拟效果好,可以更好地改进模拟的暴雨落区及强度,使结果与实况更加接近。使用AMSU资料,对我国夏季暴雨数值预报有改进作用。     

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF METHANE EMISSIONS FROM RICE PADDY FIELDS IN THE YANGTZE DELTA OF CHINA*

A numerical simulation model is presented in this paper,which comprises the processes of crop growth,soil organic carbon decomposition,and methane emissions in agroecosystems.Simulation results show that the model can simulate the main process of methane emissions well,and the correlation coefficient between the simulated values and observed data is 0.79 with 239 samples,which passed a significance test of 0.01.The average error of methane emission simulation in whole growth period is about 15%.Numerical analysis of the model indicates that the average temperature during rice growth period has much impacts on methane emissions,and the basic trend of interannual methane emissions is similar to that of average temperature.The amount of methane emissions reduces about 34.93%,when the fertilizer is used instead of manure in single rice paddy.     

二次规划在调水决策和水分配问题中的应用

首先用二次函数建立了企业用水量与其用水效益的关系,然后根据这种关系,利用拉格朗日乘数法来确定该地区最优化水资源分配方案,并得到了该地区总的用水量与用水效益的关系,最终建立了区域调水中各地区间的调水总量的分配模型。此时原问题转化为一个典型的二次规划问题,结合各个地区的用水效益情况,可实现对各地区、各行业分水。利用假设的理想数据对模型进行检验,取得了较好的结果。对南水北调的实际情况,根据北方6个缺水地区基本的水资源及工农业用水情况进行了实际数据模拟,提出了南水北调的简单分配方案。该模型不仅可以用于区域间调水的优化控制,而且还可应用到其他水资源分配与管理。     

The mechanisms of paragenesis and separation of silver, lead and zinc in hydrothermal solutions

On the basis of an experimental study and thermodynamic calculation, the mechanisms of paragenesis and separation of silver, lead and zinc in the hydrothermal system have been studied. At acidic to nearly neutral pH, their chloride complexes are stable, and among them the chloride complexes of zinc are most stable. And the sulfide complexes are the dominant species at nearly neutral to alkaline pH,while the sulfide complexes of silver are most stable. With decreasing temperature, [ Cl^-] ,fO2, and increasing pH, the solubilities of silver, lead and zinc will decrease, leading to their deposition and separation. For sulfide complexes, the concentrations of reduced sulfur and pH are two important factors affecting their stabilities. Complexes of different forms and stabilities respond to the variation of conditions to different extents, which gave rise to the paragenesis and separation of silver, lead and zinc in the whole ore-forming process of dissolution, transport and deposition.     

初论兰坪盆地构造流体与成矿作用的时空格架及可能的成矿模式

滇西兰坪盆地中新生代形成了丰富的金属与盐类矿床，是我国著名的热液矿床成矿带。成矿系统时─空结构的统一性是进行成矿规律研究和成矿预测的前提和指导思想，综合分析兰坪盆地的成矿时代、矿床的空间分布及区域地质背景，初步认为：晚白垩世至早第三纪，盆地西缘出现以铜为主的成矿作用；兰坪盆地主要成矿作用发生在早、晚第三纪期间，因盆地东、西部边界向两边地块的俯冲碰撞及中轴断裂带的强烈活动，导致盆地中央地带出现大规模成矿流体活动，成矿流体因物理化学性质的改变而发生分异、运移，及盆地受挤压隆升，变成山间盆地，出现不同类型、不同大小的流体圈闭，因而形成不同种类，不同规模的矿床；同时，含有挥发性组分汞、锑、砷的流体从深部沿中轴断裂带上升向两侧的次级构造裂隙带扩散，导致盆地东部复式背斜带中出现锑、汞、砷的成矿作用；其后，矿床受到改造和氧化作用。盆地内发育深大断裂；兰坪盆地的成矿作用是在构造流体演化的制约下完成的，同时成矿作用的发生改变了流体的性质和构造环境，促使流体的再次循环，出现成矿作用的多期性、分带性。

Narrating the Natural History Unit: institutional orderings and spatial strategies

This paper develops a conceptualisation of institutional geographies through participation observation and interviews in the BBC’s Natural History Unit (NHU), and the approach of actor network theory. The methodological and theoretical tenets of actor network theory are examined for the insights they offer for understanding the achievements of this pre-eminent centre for the production of natural history films. The scope, scale and longevity of the NHU are analysed through the means by which localised institutional modes of ordering extend through space and over time. Drawing on empirical material, the paper outlines three different modes of ordering, which organise relations between actors in the film-making processes in different ways: prioritising different kinds of institutional arrangements, material resources and spatial strategies in the production of natural history films. Through these three modes of ordering, and through the topological insights of actor network theory, a series of overlapping and interlinked institutional geographies are revealed, through which the identity of the Unit as a centre of excellence for wildlife film-making is performed.
