Genetic Mechanism of Mineral Inclusions in Zircons from the Khondalite Series, Southeastern Inner Mongolia

The early Precambrian khondalite series is widely distributed in the Jining-Zhuozi-Fengzhen-Liangcheng area, southeastern Inner Mongolia. The khondalite series mainly consists of sillimanite garnet potash feldspar (or two-feldspar) gneiss and garnet biotite plagioclase gneiss. These gneissic rocks have commonly experienced granulite-facies metamorphism. In zircons separated from sillimanite garnet potash feldspar gneisses, many mineral inclusions, including Sil, Grt, Ky, Kfs, Qtz and Ap, have been identified by the Laser Raman spectroscopy. Generally, prograde metamorphic mineral inclusion assemblages such as Ky + Kfs + Qtz + Ap and Ky + Grt + Kfs + Qtz are preserved in the core of zircon, while peak granulite-facies metamorphic minerals including Sil + Grt + Kfs + Qtz and Sil + Grt + Kfs + Qtz + Ap are identified in the mantle and rim of the same zircon. However, in some zircons are only preserved the peak metamorphic minerals such as Sil + Grt + Kfs + Qtz and Sil + Grt + Kfs + Qtz + Ap from core to ri     

Tri-frequency spectrum method and results for resolving the parameters of Earth’s liquid core free nutation

The parameters of Earth free core nutation (FCN) are two relatively significant geophysical parameters. Sasao et al. (1980) and Wahr and Bergen (1986) provided the theoretical estimation values of FCN parameters. Gwinn, Herring and Shapiro (1987) first obtained the observational values of FCN parameters by very long base Interference (VLBI) at Cambridge University. In the same year, Neuberg and Zürn in former West Germany and Hinderer in France began to retrieve FCN parameters by the observation of gravity tides and introduced the stacking method. The other scholars who researched into the same geophysical problems by applying the data of gravity tides basically followed the stacking method. The results they reached were similar to the observational result of FCN parameters given by Neuberg et al. in 1987. But the observational results of FCN parameters gained from gravity tides were not identical with those from VLBI, mainly because of the large difference of quality of FCN. So there was not an affirmative observational result of FCN parameters since then. In this paper, The authors firstly introduce the tri-frequency spectrum method with clearly geometrical and geophysical meaning for the resolution of FCN parameters, and the observational results of FCN parameters obtained from tide data at three superconducting gravity stations were accordant with those from VLBI, which will be relatively important to arriving at a certain observational result of FCN parameters.     

New Progress in the Application of Satellite Thermal Infrared Imagery to Earthquake Prediction

The concept of stochastic resonance(SR) has been introduced into the analysis of satellite thermal infrared images.Six kinds of anomalous phenomena related to crustal movement were recognized in satellite thermal infrared images.Six diagnostic indicators for the prediction of global earthquakes with magnitude≥6.0 and their quantitative evaluation standards have been established.The microscopic behavior of global crustal movement is successfully controlled by using satellite thermal infrared imagery,and the occurrence time and magnitude of over 80% of global strong earthquakes occureed since the foundation of the observation station have been successfully predicted.It is believed that the combination of satellite thermal infrared information with macroscopic anomalous phenomena will play an important role in earthquake hazerd reduction.

Study of the Earth's free core nutation by tidal gravity data recorded with international superconducting gravimeters

By stacking high-precision tidal gravity observations obtained with superconducting gravimeters at six stations in China, Japan, Belgium, France, Germany and Finland, the local systematical discrepancies in the parameter fitting, caused by atmospheric, oceanic tidal loading and the other local environmental perturbations, are eliminated effectively. As a result, the resonance parameters of the Earth's free core nutation are accurately determined. In this study, the eigenperiod of free core nutation is given as 429.0 sidereal days, which is in agreement with those published in the previous studies. It is about 30 sidereal days less than those calculated in theoretical models (about 460 sidereal days), which confirms the real ellipticity of the fluid core of the Earth to be about 5% larger than the one expected in assumption of hydrostatic equilibrium. The quality factor (Q value) of free core nutation is given as about 9543, which, compared with those determined before based on the body tide observations, is much larger, but more close to those obtained using the VLBI observations. The complex resonance strength is also determined as (?6.10(10?4, ?0.01(10?4)(/h, which can principally describe the deformation characteristics of an anelastic mantle.     

石油二次运移物理模拟及运移特征分析

石油二次运移是一个复杂的地质过程,本文通过利用饱和地层水的低孔低渗储层砂岩来进行石油二次运移模拟实验,初步研究了此过程的变化特征。研究表明 :在静水条件下,石油水平运移带的平均含油饱和度达 15 %~2 5 %。运移过程中饱和烃、芳烃及非烃与含油饱和度呈正相关性。在运载层物性相差较小的情况下,运移驱动力是运移效率的主导因素。在孔渗性好的运载层,含油饱和度容易达到稳定。     

Dispelling a myth? Second homes in rural Wales

Second homes have been a source of considerable controversy in Wales for more than three decades. In this article we argue that they have, in reality, become less important in recent times, with the market contracting during the 1990s and other more fundamental demographic changes and housing pressures coming to the fore. Second homes are a highly localized issue, affecting a minority of communities – though, at times, quite severely. Retirement and other housing pressures, however, bring more significant socio-economic changes and these pressures are all too frequently amplified by a planning system used to restrict housing supply rather than manage growth. This paper has three parts, beginning with a general review of the second home debate followed by an examination of the changing geography of second homes, showing how the distribution of these properties altered during the 1990s and how the market contracted. It ends with a review of secondary data, revealing that second homes are a relatively small component of wider processes affecting rural communities, though extremely significant in some areas.     

洼陷中浊积岩沉积特征及油气富集规律研究

随着油气勘探的不断深入，我国东部地区主要含油气盆地勘探的主要目标逐渐转为一些较复杂的隐蔽油气藏，尤其是盆内的次级洼陷，已成为勘探的重要地区。多年的勘探实践表明，对于我国东部的陆相箕状盆地，洼陷中含油气是必然规律。在洼陷内最重要的油藏类型是砂体岩性与构造—岩性油藏，并且绝大多数为浊流成因。本文以山东济阳坳陷与昌潍坳陷的德南、牛庄、利津、博兴等几个洼陷为例，介绍洼陷生油条件的地震研究方法与三角洲—浊积扇体系中浊积岩发育区的沉积特征、油气富集规律及地震综合研究方法。

为了解释光伏设施干扰下沙质地表侵蚀堆积的动力机制,在库布齐沙漠110MW光伏电站选取2个断面,利用MetOne 014A/024A型自动风速仪,同步观测了光伏板前后不同位置20、50、100、200cm高度的1min平均风速,分析了光伏板干扰下流场格局变异及其与地表蚀积态势的关系。结果表明:(1)光伏设施强烈干扰流场格局,产生流场分异区:板下集流加速区、板前板后遇阻减速区、板面抬升区和板间恢复区,但光伏基地上风向边缘区域与腹地的流场分布格局存在显著差异;(2)空间流场特征区发育程度所指示的动力分布与地面侵蚀堆积态势基本对应;(3)植被可有效增大地面粗糙度,降低0~50cm近地表过境风速,减缓地表蚀积过程的发生与加剧;(4)光伏板下的集流加速和板前板后的反向涡旋,是塑造地表风蚀沟(坑)及积沙带发育的主要动力。     

金属因素在敦化团北地区激电异常评价中的应用

为准确评价敦化团北地区激电异常,研究其产生机制,采用提取激电二次信息的视金属因素(Js)方法,突出与电子导体相关的低阻极化体异常,压制与电子导体不相关的激电异常。结果表明:测区西北角视金属因素异常与强激电异常相吻合,与电子导体(金属矿化或矿化)相关,而大范围低缓激电异常区没有视金属因素异常显示,说明与电子导体不相关。在敦化团北地区利用视金属因素压制干扰因素所引起的异常,突出与电子导电体相关的低阻极化体异常效果明显,结合地质揭露工程得出低缓激电异常是由受轻微矿染的花岗斑岩所引起的结论。
