Cometary outbursts – search of probable mechanisms – case of 29P/Schwassmann‐Wachmann 1

Cometary outbursts, sudden increases in luminosity have not been clearly explained so far and their source is still a mystery. Various possible mechanisms as a source of cometary outbursts at large distances from the Sun have been considered. It has been stated that plausible mechanisms are the polymerization of HCN and the amorphous water ice transformation combined with electrostatic destruction of cometary grains in the head of the comet. The calculations have been carried out for a large range of cometary parameters and it has been shown that the proposed scenario of the outburst gives a jump in the comet brightness which is consistent with the real jump observed during the 29P/Schwassmann‐Wachmann 1 outbursts.     

远震P波层析成像研究阿尔金断裂带东端及其邻区深部结构

本文利用"中国地震科学台阵探测——南北地震带北段"项目在内蒙古阿拉善西部及甘肃西北部地区布设的80个流动宽频带地震仪及16个固定台站,于2013年10月—2015年6月所记录的787个远震事件,采用波形相关方法拾取了共49052个高质量的P波走时残差数据,并利用Fast-Marching远震走时层析成像方法,反演获取了研究区下方的三维P波速度结构.结果显示:阿尔金断裂带东段、祁连山、北山地区下方地壳结构表现为低速异常特征,具有明显的造山带构造特征;阿拉善地体下方地壳结构表现为高速异常特征,为典型的大陆地壳结构特征;阿拉善地块沿着青藏高原北边界逆冲断裂(NBT)南向俯冲,其在祁连山造山带下与北向俯冲的柴达木岩石圈形成了面对面的碰撞接触关系;阿尔金断裂带的末端并没有北东向延伸到阿拉善块体,而是受到刚性的阿拉善岩石圈阻挡沿着其南缘断裂带继续向东发展.

Benthic input rates predict seagrass (Posidonia oceanica) fish farm-induced decline

Fish farms represent a growing source of anthropogenic disturbance to benthic communities, and efficient predictors of such impacts are urgently needed. We explored the effects of fish farm benthic organic and nutrient inputs on the population dynamics of a key seagrass species (Posidonia oceanica) in four Mediterranean deep meadows adjacent to sea bream and sea bass farms. We performed two annual plant censuses on permanent plots at increasing distance from farms and measured benthic sedimentation rates around plots. High shoot mortality rates were recorded near the cages, up to 20 times greater than at control sites. Recruitment rates increased in variability but could not compensate mortality, leading to rapid seagrass decline within the first 100 m from cages. Seagrass mortality increased with total sedimentation rates (K=0.55, p<0.0002), and with organic matter (K=0.50, p=0.001), total nitrogen (K=0.46, p=0.002) and total phosphorus (K=0.56, p<3.10(-5)) inputs. P. oceanica decline accelerated above a phosphorus loading threshold of 50mg m(-2)day(-1). Phosphorus benthic sedimentation rate seems a powerful predictor of seagrass mortality from fish farming. Coupling direct measurements of benthic sedimentation rates with dynamics of key benthic species is proposed as an efficient strategy to predict fish farm impacts to benthic communities.     

Exploring the use of vegetation indices to sense canopy nitrogen to phosphorous ratio in grasses

Reduced availability of plant nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) has detrimental effects on plant growth. Plant N:P ratio, calculated as the quotient of N and P concentrations, is an ecological indicator of relative N and P limitation. Remote sensing has already been widely used to detect plant traits in foliage, particularly canopy N and P concentrations and could be used to detect canopy N:P faster and at lower cost than traditional destructive methods. Despite the potential opportunity of applying remote sensing techniques to detect canopy N:P, studies investigating canopy N:P remote detection are scarce. In this study, we examined if vegetation indices developed for canopy N or P detection can also be used for canopy N:P detection. Using in situ spectrometry, we measured the reflectance of a common grass species, Yorkshire fog (Holcus lanatus L.), grown under different nutrient ratios and levels. We calculated 60 VIs found in literature and compared them to optimized VIs developed specifically for this study. The VIs were calculated using both the original narrow band spectra and the spectra resampled to the band properties of six satellite sensors (MSI – Sentinel 2, OLCI – Sentinel 3, MODIS – Terra/Aqua, OLI – Landsat 8, WorldView 4 and RapidEye) to investigate the influence of bandwidths and band positions. The results showed that canopy N:P was significantly related to both existing VIs (r² = 0.16 - 0.48) and optimized VIs (r² = 0.59 – 0.72) with correlations similar to what was observed for canopy N or canopy P. Existing VIs calculated with MSI and OLI sensors bands showed higher correlation with canopy N:P compared to the other sensors while the correlation with optimized VIs was not affected by the differences in sensors’ bands. This study might lead to future practical applications using in situ reflectance measurements to sense canopy N:P in grasslands.

Real scalar field scattering in the nearly extremal Schwarzschildben de Sitter space

Reasonable approximations are introduced to investigate the real scalar field scattering in the nearly extremal Schwarzschild--de Sitter (SdS) space. The approximations naturally lead to the invertible x(r) and the global replacement of the true potential by a P?shl--Teller one. Meanwhile, the Schr?dinger-like wave equation is transformed into a solvable form. Our numerical solutions to the wave equation show that the wave is characteristically similar to the harmonic under the tortoise coordinate x, while the wave piles up near the two horizons and the wavelength tends to its maximum as the potential approaches to the peak under the radial coordinate r.

变质岩的变质序列分析——以辽河群为例(续)

辽河群是出露于辽宁省东部的独具特色的早元古代变质岩系,赋存丰富的矿产资源。变质岩系遭受了中浅变质作用,经历了三幕变形,它们同是吕梁造山作用的组成部分。在二者的共同作用下,于１ ９００ Ｍａ 使辽河群固结硬化为结晶基底。辽河群有三幕变形,但对应的热事件仅有一期。研究表明,变质矿物的结晶时间与变质带密切相关,就一种变质矿物而言,于不同的变质带中不仅首次晶出的时间不同,并且结晶结束的时间也不同,即表明不同的变质带具有不同的ＰＴｔ 轨迹。
