The First James K. Mitchell Lecture In situ soil testing: from mechanics to interpretation†

The current use of fundamental mechanics in developing rational interpretation methods for deriving soil properties from in situ test results is reviewed and evaluated. The focus is on some of the most widely used in situ test devices including cone penetrometers with and without pore pressure measurements (CPTU and CPT), self-boring and cone pressuremeters (SBPMT and CPMT), and flat dilatometers (DMT). In situ tests in both cohesive and frictional soils for measuring strength and stiffness properties, in situ state parameters, consolidation coefficients, stress history, and in situ stresses are considered in detail.     

霍州矿区隐伏断裂（带）活动性氡气测试成果解释分析

采用断层气体测试方法,对霍州盆地矿区内几条主要的隐伏断裂（带）及其活动性进行了测试。进而对该区典型的氡气测试成果剖面作了解释分析,并判别了隐伏断裂（带）的空间分面具主其相对活动强弱与活动水平等有关断裂活动性问题。     

关于二轴晶矿物光性正负判别式的讨论

作者同意刘智星的论断:旧的二轴晶矿物光性正负判别式是错误的。本文也对刘智星的推论作了更为简明直观的解释,同时提出一个新的测定二轴晶矿物光性正负的判别式:Nm-N_(45)。应用此判别式检查了近470个二轴晶矿物的光性,发现某些文献中所记载或所引用的资料(折射率或光性符号)有错。     

低孔低渗储层渗透率测井解释模型研究

采用岩心分析数据与测井曲线相结合的方法,引入泥质含量参数配合声波时差进行多元线性回归分析。建立鄂尔多斯盆地研究区低孔低渗储层渗透率测井解释模型。根据泥质含量特征二次分类后进行多元线性回归,建立两个渗透率测井解释模型相关性良好,对应于研究区两种不同的沉积微相特征;测井解释渗透率与岩心实测渗透率匹配良好,解释模型满足研究区精度要求。在沉积微相背景约束条件下,对研究区储层选择合理参数多元线性回归建立渗透率测井解释模型,可以使低孔低渗储层渗透率解释达到良好应用效果。

Temporal and spacial analysis of regional composite nodal plane solutions for small earthquakes

A method is proposed in this paper for the analysis of temporal and spatial characteristics of composite nodal plane solutions for small earthquakes. With this method, the interested region is devided into small areas according to the geological features of the region. As an example, 107 composite nodal plane solutions are calculated for the adjoining region of Shaxi, Hebei and Neimenggu. The temporal and spatial characteristics of the variations of the solution parameters before and after the great Tangshan main earthquake in 1976 have been analysed and some interesting results are obtained. The Chinese version of this paper appeared in the Chinese edition ofActa Seismlogica Sinica,13, 9–20, 1991.     

Rewriting the book of the city: on old signs,new technologies,and reinventing Adelaide

Can a sense of ownership over constantly changing urban places be generated through pedestrian exploration and everyday digital media practice? This paper begins with the author’s visit to the city of Adelaide, where a chance encounter – an intriguing sign painted on the wall of a city building – led to a hunt through the city for ghost signs, the remnants of old hand-painted advertisements. This spontaneous activity, combined with the online exploration and image sharing that followed, generated a renewed feeling of connection to, and ownership over, an erstwhile familiar locale. The experience is analysed through the work of theorists investigating change and belonging in modern cities including Guy Debord, Doreen Massey, Michel de Certeau, Andreas Huyssen, and Mark Crinson, as well as the contemporary growth in both politically inspired urban exploring (“Urbex” or “place hacking”) and the digital documentation and sharing of ghost signs and other urban ephemera.     

Perspectives on Quaternary outreach and aspirations for the future

Outreach arising from the study of the British Quaternary offers many benefits for society, especially because of its relevance for understanding contemporary environmental issues and environmental change. Outreach is also important for the long-term health of the academic discipline and research agenda. Through engaging with the formal education system, institutions, policy makers, planners and with the public at large, Quaternary specialists can do much to advance interest in and appreciation of the British landscape and its Quaternary record. This opinion and review article considers the importance and benefits of outreach in its many forms, makes the case for practitioners to continue and increase their involvement, offers examples of good practice, and sets out aspirations for the future.

THE UNIQUENESS OF THE AMERICAN RELIGIOUS LANDSCAPE

ABSTRACT. The assemblage of objects that constitute the publicly visible religious landscape of the United States—houses of worship and a variety of church‐related enterprises—deviates so markedly from its counterparts in other lands that we can regard its uniqueness as a significant argument for American exceptionalism. The diagnostic features in question include the extraordinary number and variety of churches and denominations, their special physical attributes, the near‐random microgeography of churches in urban areas, and, most especially, their nomenclature and the widely distributed signage promoting godliness and religiosity. Such landscape phenomena suggest connections with much‐deeper issues concerning the origin and evolution of American society and culture.
