Chandler摆动周期和Q值对激发函数估计与比较的影响

用 198 4～ 1999年期间的地极坐标序列和两个大气角动量序列 ,分析了不同Chandler周期和品质因子Q的取值对Chandler摆动观测激发的功率谱密度 ,以及观测激发与大气激发之间的相干系数和相干相位的影响。结果表明 ,不同Chandler周期和品质因子Q的取值对观测激发的功率谱密度 ,以及观测激发与大气激发之间的相干系数有很大影响。因此 ,在分析Chandler摆动的观测激发与地球物理激发的关系时 ,不能仅以观测激发与某个地球物理激发序列 (如大气激发 )的更好逼近来选择Chandler摆动的最佳周期 ,因为Chandler摆动是多种地球物理激发共同作用的结果     

甘肃党河南山北坡早古生代火山岩时代探讨

关于甘肃省肃北县党河南山北坡火山岩的时代,前人认为属早古生代奥陶纪,但通过对火山岩分布特征、地层接触关系、区域地层对比、岩性特征以及Rb-Sr同位素年龄(基性火山岩的年龄为(684.87±71)Ma,中性火山岩的年龄为(666.63±1.6)Ma)及侵入其中的花岗闪长岩的同位素年龄(510.85±14)Ma等资料的对比分析,认为该套火山岩的时代应为震旦纪而非奥陶纪.     

Bivariate frequency analysis: discussion of some useful concepts in hydrological application

Basic concepts such as conditional probability distributions, conditional return periods, and joint return periods are important to understand and to interpret multivariate hydrological events such as floods and storms. However, these concepts are not well documented in the open literature. This paper assembles and clarifies these concepts, and illustrates their practical utility. Relationships between joint return periods and univariate return periods are also derived. These concepts and relationships are demonstrated by applying a bivariate extreme value distribution to represent the joint distribution of flood peak and volume from an actual basin.

HEATING DEGREE DAY RESEARCH IN ALBERTA: RESIDENTS CONSERVE NATURAL GAS

A high correlation exists between monthly population-weighted heating degree days (below 18C) and the use of natural gas per household for residential heating in Alberta for the period 1962–80. The use of natural gas for residential heating per household declines since 1973 following a sharp increase in gas prices.     

Nanoflares and heating of the solar corona

Coronal heating by nanoflares is presented by using observational, analytical, numerical simulation and statistical results. Numerical simulations show the formation of numerous current sheets if the magnetic field is sheared and bipoles have unequal pole strengths. This fact supports the generation of nanoflares and heating by them. The occurrence frequency of transients such as flares, nano/microflares, on the Sun exhibits a power-law distribution with exponent α varying between 1.4 and 3.3. For nanoflares heating α must be greater than 2. It is likely that the nanoflare heating can be reproduced by dissipating Alfven waves. Only observations from future space missions such as Solar-B, to be launched in 2006, can shed further light on whether Alfven waves or nanoflares, heat the solar corona.     

“Terrae motus factus est”: earthquakes in Switzerland before A.D. 1000. A critical approach

We focus on Swiss earthquakes in antiquity and the early medieval period before A.D. 1000. We have information on less than half a dozen earthquakes within this era, since written records for the first half of the first millennium A.D. are minimal, and there is little hope of finding more written evidence for earthquakes. Furthermore, interpreting the documents at hand is somewhat complex. For the 6th century Gregory of Tours in Historia Francorum gives hints of a rockslide near the castle Tauredunum (Le Grammont) in the Swiss canton Valais, an event that has been considered in the literature as caused by an earthquake. The Carolingian period (ca. 750–950) included the rise of some very important cultural centers in various parts of today’s Switzerland. For instance, the ecclesiastical culture in St. Gallen generated a remarkable number of written records, which survived for our use in a unique manner. From the 9th and 10th centuries, we have evidence for earthquakes in the years 849, 867, 902, and 944. However, information on them remains so scarce that their location and intensity are generally difficult to assess. Nevertheless, the finding of a new document - a memoir written by the abbot of Reichenau - offers some insight into the A.D. 849 event and its reportedly aftershocks.

基于我国实际工程场地的不同基本周期计算方法差异性研究

场地基本周期是表征场地动力特性最基本的指标,也是评价场地条件的重要依据。本文介绍了计算场地基本周期的四种方法——子层周期求和法（规范法）、子层周期贡献系数法、简化Rayleigh法以及逐层单自由度法。收集并筛选了国内605组钻孔深度达到工程基岩的剪切波速剖面资料,其中:Ⅰ类场地10个;Ⅱ类场地300个;Ⅲ类场地249个;Ⅳ类场地46个。以传递函数法结果为标准,对上述四种方法的计算结果进行对比检验,就不同方法的偏差进行了深入分析,给出了其统计结果,并剖析了各方法应用于实际工程场地的适宜性。主要结论:（1）我国规范所采用的子层周期求和法虽然在工程中方便使用,但计算结果普遍存在显著偏差,其偏差的平均值大于20%,最大偏差甚至接近50%。（2）简化Rayleigh法和逐层单自由度法相较于规范法计算精度均有大幅提高,二者偏差在5%以内的工况数占比分别达到80%和70%以上。（3）子层周期贡献系数法采用了加权累加的计算方式,继承了规范法便于操作的优点,并且计算精度为本文所选四种方法中最高,其最大偏差不超过10%,偏差在5%以内的工况数占比达到85%,建议在实际工程中推广应用。
