帕米尔-兴都库什地区地震空间分布特征及应力场特征

本文研究了兴都库什及帕米尔地区地震的空间分布.发现h<70km的地震分布广泛,h≥100km的地震形成-S形的倾斜中源地震带.在71.5°E以西,中源地震带倾向接近正北,倾角随深度变化,在深部接近垂直,且倾角自西向东逐渐变陡,在71.5°E以东,倾向逐渐由东南变为正南. 分析了121个m_b≥5.0地震的机制解.浅源地震机制解的P轴大多位于NS和NNW-SSE方向,且多近水平,反映此区受到NS或NNW-SSE方向挤压.各剖面应力轴分布规律性强,在150km以下,总的趋势是机制解的T轴接近于倾斜的中源地震带的下倾方向,而P轴倾角较小且垂直于倾斜的中源地震带的走向.     

中国西部干旱地区太阳直接辐射通量密度与大气质量的关系

本文根据中国西部干旱地区大气物理状态(大气可降水量和大气浑浊度)的变化范围,利用太阳直接辐射通量密度的理论计算公式,计算了各种大气透明系数状况下的太阳直接辐射通量密度。计算结果表明,大气质量m=2时的透明系数P_2和m相同时,由于水汽和气溶胶的含量配置不同而引起太阳直接辐射通量密度的差异,在辐射日变程的主要时段(m=1-3)内并不大。于是得到各种透明系数P_2状况下太阳直接辐射通量密度随大气质量变化的平均关系。不同海拔高度比较,当透明系数P_2相同时,各自的大气物理状态虽然不同,但m相同时的太阳直接辐射通量密度基本相同。现有的表征太阳直接辐射通量密度值和大气质量联系的关系式都不能很好地描述计算结果。根据太阳直接辐射通量密度随大气质量变化的特性,我们提出了新的关系式。最后,整理了不同拔海高度和不同地理景观的四个日射站(西藏那曲、青海格尔木、甘肃敦煌和民勤)的多年观测资料。经验计算结果与观测值比较,一致性良好。     

Relationship between pedogenetic manifestations in some arid soil and age of the landforms

Arid soils with slight variations in parent material, vegetation and climate were studied for their morphological, chemical and mineralogical characteristics. Results show that the soils are at different stages of profile development. Varying degrees of pedogenic features have been tied up with data on palaeoenvironment to develop a relationship between the soil and age of the landform. Studies reveal that Dune and Shergarh sandy soils with least degree of manifestation belong to early Holocene to latest Pleistocene, whereas Chirai sandy soil with weakly developed B horizon belongs to the upper Holocene. Soils (Khajwana and Gajsinghpura) with well-developed B horizon and a calcic layer with lime segregations belong to mid-Pleistocene whereas Pali and Pipar soils with illuvial clay in B horizon belong to early Pleistocene.     

Hydrogen recombination lines near 327 MHz−II: A Galactic plane survey with a 2°×6′ beam

In a previous paper we presented a low-resolution (2°×2°) survey of radio recombination lines (RRLs) at 327 MHz in the longitude rangel=330° to 0° to 89°. In this paper, we present the results of a higher resolution (2°×6′) survey of RRLs from seven 2°-wide fields and two 6°-wide fields in the same longitude range. Observations were made using the Ooty Radio Telescope (ORT). A total of 252 spectra that were obtained are presented. RRLs were detected in almost all the individual positions within the fields withl<35° and at several individual positions within the fields in the longitude rangel=35° to 85°. Detailed analysis of the data towards the field centered at G45.5+0.0, shows that the line emission consists of discrete zones of ionized gas. The angular extent of these zones are likely to be one degree or more corresponding to a linear size of >110 pc at the kinematic distance.     

Statistical analysis of time-dependent earthquake occurrence and its impact on hazard in the low seismicity region Lower Rhine Embayment

The time-dependence of earthquake occurrence is mostly ignored in standard seismic hazard assessment even though earthquake clustering is well known. In this work, we attempt to quantify the impact of more realistic dynamics on the seismic hazard estimations. We include the time and space dependences between earthquakes into the hazard analysis via Monte Carlo simulations. Our target region is the Lower Rhine Embayment, a low seismicity area in Germany. Including aftershock sequences by using the epidemic type aftershock-sequence (ETAS) model, we find that on average the hypothesis of uncorrelated random earthquake activity underestimates the hazard by 5–10 per cent. Furthermore, we show that aftershock activity of past large earthquakes can locally increase the hazard even centuries later. We also analyse the impact of the so-called long-term behaviour, assuming a quasi-periodic occurrence of main events on a major fault in that region. We found that a significant impact on hazard is only expected for the special case of a very regular recurrence of the main shocks.     

Dinocyst biostratigraphy of the Lower Cretaceous in North Siberia

The described scheme of the Lower Cretaceous (Berriasian-Barremian) stratigraphic subdivisions is elaborated based on palynological study of sections in the Khatanga depression, Ust-Yenisei region, Pur-Taz interfluve, and around the Ob River latitudinal segment, the North Siberia. Stratigraphic distribution of microphytoplankton studied in detail is used to distinguish 10 biostratigraphic units in the rank of dinocysts zones. Stratigraphic position of the zones is determined with confidence using data on the Lower Cretaceous reference sections in the Khatanga depression, which were principal ones by constructing the Boreal standard zonation. In majority, boundaries of the dinocysts beds are of a high correlation potential and can be regarded as reliable stratigraphic markers, as they are recognizable not only in Siberia, but also in northern Europe and America.     

Self-organised clustering for road extraction in classified imagery

The extraction of road networks from digital imagery is a fundamental image analysis operation. Common problems encountered in automated road extraction include high sensitivity to typical scene clutter in high-resolution imagery, and inefficiency to meaningfully exploit multispectral imagery (MSI). With a ground sample distance (GSD) of less than 2 m per pixel, roads can be broadly described as elongated regions. We propose an approach of elongated region-based analysis for 2D road extraction from high-resolution imagery, which is suitable for MSI, and is insensitive to conventional edge definition. A self-organising road map (SORM) algorithm is presented, inspired from a specialised variation of Kohonen's self-organising map (SOM) neural network algorithm. A spectrally classified high-resolution image is assumed to be the input for our analysis. Our approach proceeds by performing spatial cluster analysis as a mid-level processing technique. This allows us to improve tolerance to road clutter in high-resolution images, and to minimise the effect on road extraction of common classification errors. This approach is designed in consideration of the emerging trend towards high-resolution multispectral sensors. Preliminary results demonstrate robust road extraction ability due to the non-local approach, when presented with noisy input.
