Influence of secondary compression on undrained strength of soft kaolinites

Soft kaolinite deposits of marine origin are encountered as foundation soils in many parts of the world. The well-developed flocculated structure of kaolinite-bearing marine deposits is amenable to alterations from leaching of pore solution salts, loss of overburden, and secondary compression. Secondary compression causes densification of microstructure that may impact the viscous resistance, soil stiffness, and undrained shear strength of kaolinite-bearing marine deposits. This study examines the influence of secondary compression on viscous resistance and constrained stress–strain modulus of soft kaolinites prepared in synthetic seawater and sodium chloride solutions. The impact of secondary compression on undrained shear strength is interpreted from changes in microstructure, percent monovalent cation concentration, viscous resistance, and constrained stress–strain modulus. Kaolinite specimens experience reduction in void space during secondary compression. Breakdown of edge–face (E–F) and edge–edge (E–E) contacts of kaolinite particles during secondary compression and creation of interlocking zones is observed from scanning electron micrograph studies. Breakdown of E–F and E–E contacts is considered responsible for reduction in constrained stress–strain modulus during secondary compression. Concomitant, creation of interlocking zones at particle contacts increases the viscous resistance of microstructure that enhances the undrained shear strength of soft kaolinites.     

同沉积期火山作用对鄂尔多斯盆地上古生界砂岩储层形成的意义

鄂尔多斯盆地上古生界主要为一套陆源碎屑沉积体系,其中广泛发育河流-三角洲相砂岩储集体,是该区上古生界天然气聚集成藏的主要场所。但由于陆源杂基的充填以及成岩压实作用、胶结作用的改造,大部分砂层储集性能都较差而无工业性储集意义。本文通过对鄂尔多斯盆地上古生界砂岩储层孔隙成因的分析,提出在局部层段集中分布的孔隙性砂岩,其孔隙主要为次生溶蚀成因。进一步的研究表明,由同沉积期火山作用形成的、分布于砂岩层中的火山碎屑组分的成岩溶蚀是次生溶孔形成的主要原因。因此,同沉积期火山作用控制了该区上古生界主要砂岩储层的发育和分布。中基性火山作用由于能提供较多的“易溶组分”,从而控制了次生溶孔发育的较高渗透性砂岩储层的分布; 而影响更为广泛的酸性火山作用则主要形成以蚀变高岭石晶间孔为主的低渗透性储层。     

西藏玉龙铜矿床——鼻状构造圈闭控制的特大型矿床

文章研究了背斜圈闭构造控制玉龙斑岩-矽卡岩型铜(钼)矿的形成和矿体的分布。通过对成矿体系中各矿体的产出和形态特征、矿床地球化学原生晕分布特征、圈闭构造的古构造应力场恢复等的研究,认为玉龙铜矿的斑岩型(Ⅰ号矿体)、矽卡岩型(Ⅱ、Ⅴ号似层状原生矿体、Ⅴ号矿体上层矿体)、矽卡岩-次生氧化富集型(Ⅱ、Ⅴ号似层状次生氧化矿体)、角岩型(接触带角岩中硫化物矿体)、隐爆角砾岩型等矿体的分布受甘龙拉背斜的南段倾伏端的构造圈闭控制。因此,超大型玉龙铜(钼)矿床的形成与良好的背斜圈闭构造有关。

The 2/1 and 3/2 Resonant Asteroid Motion: A Symplectic Mapping Approach

A comparative study is made between the 2/1 and the 3/2 resonant asteroid motion, with the aim to understand their different behaviour (gap in the 2/1 resonance, group in the 3/2 resonance). A symplectic mapping model is used, for each of these two resonances, assuming the asteroid is moving in the three-dimensional space under the gravitational perturbation of Jupiter. It is found that these resonances differ in several points, and although there is, in general, more chaos in the phase space close to the 3/2 resonance, even in the model of circular orbit of Jupiter, there are regions, close to the secondary resonances, which are less chaotic in the 3/2 resonance compared to the 2/1 resonance, and consequently trapping can take place.

Cosmic Ray Effects on the ISOCAM Long Wave Detector

The ISOCAM detector is subjected to transient effects induced bycosmic rays, the so-called glitches. This paper is focused onthe ISOCAM long wave detector. The predicted glitch rates havebeen re-evaluated by taking into account secondary particlesproduction in the materials surrounding the LW detector. We showin this preliminary study that the difference between thepreviously predicted glitch rate and the observed rate may beexplained by secondary particles.     

Abundance and production ofBranchiura sowerbyi (Oligochaeta: Tubificidae) in two typical shallow lakes (Hubei, China)

An April 1996 to March 1997 comparative study on the abundance and secondary production ofBranchiura sowerbyi Beddard, 1892 in two typical shallow lakes showed that in Houhu, an algae-dominated lake, the worm density (68 ind·m⁻²) peaked in July, biomass (1.930 g·m⁻²) peaked in June, while in Biandantang, a macrophyte-dominated lake, standing stock (density: 60 ind·m⁻²; biomass: 1.019 g·m⁻² in wet weight) peaked in December. Secondary production of the animal in Houhu Lake was 3.413 g wet wt m⁻² a⁻¹, a little more than that (2.675 g wet wt m⁻² a⁻¹) in Biandantang Lake. Their turnover rates (P/B ratios) were 4.0 and 5.0, respectively. Project (39600019 and 39430101) supported by NSFC.

Spatial and temporal prokaryotic variability in the northern Adriatic Sea

The prokaryotic community, both in terms of abundance and activity (exoenzymatic hydrolysis of proteins, polysaccharides and phosphorylated molecules and leucine uptake), was investigated seasonally for a 3‐year period (2004–2006) in the Gulf of Venice (northern Adriatic Sea). By focusing on spatial and temporal variability, the prokaryote dynamics showed significant variations on a horizontal and seasonal scale, but no substantial differences were observed among years. The basin‐scale variability was mainly influenced by allochthonous inputs from the Po river and the Venice Lagoon, which were the main source of nutrients, acting as a ‘bottom up’ control on prokaryotes. On a seasonal scale, all the microbial parameters (except the polysaccharide degradation) showed significant variations following the temperature fluctuations. The annual rate of change was very low for all the chemical, physical and biological parameters and only the abundance and phosphatase activity of the prokaryotes differed significantly among years.
