SHORT COMMUNICATION THE RELATIONSHIP OF CLOSURE,MEAN CENTERING AND MATRIX RANK INTERPRETATION

This paper describes an investigation into the relationship of closure,a baseline offset and mean centeringto the interpretation of matrix rank.The equivalence of a certain type of closure to a constant baseline(i.e.a simple numerical offset which may vary between response channels but is constant over all samples)is demonstrated.A systematic approach to the interpretation of the rank of a matrix is given.     

Study of the closure temperature of (U-Th)/He in detrital zircon obtained from natural evolution samples

Zircon(U-Th)/He thermochronometry was used as an effective indicator to study the thermal history of deep sedimentary basins with high temperatures.Zircon He ages and closure temperatures are very important parameters.In this paper,detrital zircon He closure temperature was studied by establishing the evolutionary pattern between zircon He ages and burial depth of borehole samples obtained from the Cenozoic strata in the Bohai Bay and Tarim basins,which have different thermal settings.The results show that the zircon He closure temperature of natural evolution samples is 200℃,which is higher than the temperature obtained from thermal simulation experiments(183℃).The temperature range of 140-200℃corresponds to the zircon helium partial retention zone.By properly understanding zircon He closure temperatures,zircon(U-Th)/He thermochronometry can provide a correct explanation of the He ages,and significant guidance in the study of the evolution of source rocks and the process of hydrocarbon accumulation in deep sedimentary basins.     

40Ar/39Ar年代学中几个重要问题的讨论

40Ar/39Ar年代学是同位素地质年代学中重要的两个"金钉子"手段之一(另一个为U-Pb法),广泛应用于重大地质事件、地质界线的精确定年,是确定地质年表的主要手段。40Ar/39Ar年代学测定的母体元素钾为常量元素,且实现分析时由于只需测定Ar同位素的比值,因而具有很高的分析精度,因此可以测定非常年轻(数千年)地质体的年龄。此外,由于在自然界中不易发生(物理、化学)反应的特性,Ar在矿物中的扩散可被准确地定量描述,因此40Ar/39Ar年代学也是热年代学的重要支柱,被广泛应用于地球深部物质上涌、折返、剥露、变质的冷却历史,率先提供了解析造山带、地壳作用过程等热历史的定量模型。这些特点使得40Ar/39Ar年代学成为地质年代学的三大支柱之一。那么,近年来该方法发展到了什么程度,其精确度和准确度达到了怎样的高度?为何年轻火山样品中极少发现过剩Ar?高压环境中的样品过剩Ar为何难以辨认?压力影响矿物的封闭温度吗?缓慢冷却K-长石的年龄谱是否可以真实地反映岩体所经历的热历史?多重扩散域模型(MDD)遇到了哪些挑战、该如何应用?40Ar/39Ar法和U-Pb法在构造热过程研究中有何不同的应用?本文对这些问题进行了思考和讨论,以期推动大家对40Ar/39Ar年代学的深入探索,推动其在我国地质研究中的应用。     

节理表面波纹度对其闭合性质的影响

节理的表面形貌中普遍含有波纹度。本文分析了含波纹度节理闭合模型的性质，探讨了其接触变形机理，研究了波纹度幅值、频率及不规则度方差对节理闭合性质的效应，最后与将波纹度分量作为随机分量处理的以往的节理闭合模型进行了比较。     

库尔勒断层氡气观测实验研究

根据库尔勒断层氡气在观测中遇到的一些问题,做了一系列观测实验,结果表明,氡探头的标定值的大小反映了氡探头的灵敏度,决定了测值的高低,因为地下１ｍ内的浅层气体与大气连通,所以观测值受气象因素影响较大,同时认为,在土壤相对潮湿的寒冷地区,冬季较厚的冻土层形成了良好的封闭系统,使地下氡气浓度相对增高,测值呈“冬高夏低”的变化形态,实验中还根据氡的衰变规律验证了所观测的大幅变化的测值确为氡气含量。     

Improvement Of The Mellor–Yamada Turbulence Closure Model Based On Large-Eddy Simulation Data

On the basis of data constructed with large-eddy simulation (LES), an attempt is made to improve the Mellor–Yamada (M–Y) turbulence closure model. Firstly, stably-stratified and convective planetary boundary layers without moisture are simulated by a LES model to obtain a database for the improvement. Secondly, based on the LES data, closure constants are re-evaluated and a new diagnostic equation for the master length scale L is proposed. The new equation is characterized by allowing L in the surface layer to vary with stability instead of constant kz, where k is the von Kármán constant, and z is height.The non-dimensional eddy-diffusivity coefficients calculated from the modifiedM–Y model are in satisfactory agreement with those from the LES data. It isfound that the modified M–Y model improves the original one largely, and thatthe improvement is achieved by considering buoyancy effects on the pressurecovariances andby using the newly proposed equation for L.     

Opening and resetting temperatures in heating geochronological systems

We present a theoretical model for diffusive daughter isotope loss in radiochronological systems with increasing temperature. It complements previous thermochronological models, which focused on cooling, and allows for testing opening and resetting of radiochronometers during heating. The opening and resetting temperatures are, respectively,

ESTIMATION IN COMPOSITIONAL DATA ANALYSIS

Compositional data arise naturally in several branches of science,including chemistry,geology,biology,medicine,ecology and manufacturing design.In chemistry,these constrained data seem to occur typicallywhen raw data are normalized or when output is obtained from a constrained estimation procedure,suchas might be used in a source apportionment problem.It is important not only for chemists to be awarethat the usual multivariate statistical techniques are not applicable to constrained data,but also to haveaccess to appropriate techniques as they become available.The currently available methodology is dueprincipally to Aitchison and is based on log-normal models.This paper suggests new parametric andnon-parametric approaches to significantly improve the existing methodology.In the parametric setting,some recent work of Rayens and Srinivasan is extended and a practical regression model is proposed.In the development of the non-parametric approach,minimum distance methods coupled withmultivariate bootstrap techniques are used to obtain point and region estimators.
