Arc magmatism in eastern Kumaun Himalaya,India: A study based on geochemistry of granitoid rocks

Petrochemical studies of granitoid rocks from the eastern part of Kumaun region suggest that the leading edge of India represents an active arc during Late Paleoproterozoic times. It has been observed that melt generation for granodiorite rocks from the eastern Almora Nappe and Chhiplakot klippe along with the Askot klippe was caused through a subduction‐related process involving hydrous partial melting of a Paleoproterozoic amphibole‐ and/or garnet‐bearing mafic source with the involvement of sediments from the subduction zone. The medium‐ to high‐K basic rocks, common in subduction‐related magmatic arcs, can also explain the generation of the high‐K granodiorites of the Chhiplakot klippe. The augen gneisses from the eastern Almora nappe and Chhiplakot klippe along with the Askot klippe further show geochemical similarity with the associated granodiorites, suggesting there is a genetic linkage with one another.     

华北地区砂性土的卸荷回弹试验研究

超采深层地下水引起的地面沉降、地裂缝等灾害已经成为华北地区大中城市的主要地质灾害。本文以华北地区地下水开采漏斗边缘的砂性土为研究对象,通过反复加荷卸荷试验,分析了砂性土的卸荷回弹特征,阐述了砂土并不是完全弹性的,它同样存在一定的塑性特征,并且说明了砂土的回弹量的大小是个变量,其回弹能力随着反复回弹次数、回弹应力大小及哪一应力进行回弹而变化。该研究结果对治理开采深层地下水引起的地面沉降等灾害有重要意义。     

辽河三角洲滨海湿地水域初级生产力研究进展

滨海湿地位于海洋与陆地生态系统的交错过渡带,具有极高的生产力和光合固碳效率,是海岸带蓝色碳汇的重要组成部分。滨海湿地生产力不仅由芦苇、翅碱蓬、红树林等陆上植被提供,水体中浮游植物的光合固碳也是提供初级生产力的重要途径。以往较多的调查和研究集中在陆上植被,而对于滨海湿地水域浮游植物和底栖微藻的报道较少。近年来随着各国政府和学者对二氧化碳排放和气候变化的关注,滨海湿地多圈层生态系统的碳循环和碳汇过程成为研究热点,而湿地水域生产力和光合固碳过程作为多圈层碳循环中重要的一个环节亦应受到足够的重视。以中国北方典型的盐沼湿地区域——辽河三角洲滨海湿地为案例,对湿地水域生产力研究进展进行综述,并对其影响因素进行讨论,以期为国家碳循环与碳中和目标调查提供参考资料。     

高阶引力理论及其在星系旋转 曲线中应用的可能性

介绍了建立高阶引力理论（该理论用以修正爱因斯坦广义相对论）的物理背景,并讨论了暗物质问题。对几种主要高阶引力理论及其解作了评述,并尝试在不必假定暗物质存在的情况下,用高阶引力理论解决有关星系旋转曲线的困难。但令人遗憾的是,至今还没有一个理论取得完全的成功。指出了解决这一问题面临的困难,并建议寻找新的高阶引力理论。     

On the equation of state for the Λ field

The recently detected accelerated expansion of the Universe is related to the existence of a new type of matter called the Λ field or quintessence. Constraints were obtained on its equation of state from the absence of clustering of this matter on scales much smaller than the cosmological horizon. The question of how these constraints affect the possibility of fitting the accelerated expansion by such cosmological models as the Chaplygin gas model is discussed.     

Large-scale cosmic homogeneity from a multifractal analysis of the PSCz catalogue

We investigate the behaviour of galaxy clustering on large scales using the PSC z catalogue. In particular, we ask whether there is any evidence of large-scale fractal behaviour in this catalogue. We find the correlation dimension in this survey varies with scale, consistent with other analyses. For example, our results on small and intermediate scales are consistent those obtained from the QDOT sample, but the larger PSC z sample allows us to extend the analysis out to much larger scales. We find firm evidence that the sample becomes homogeneous at large scales; the correlation dimension of the sample is D ₂=2.992±0.003 for r >30  h ⁻¹ Mpc. This provides strong evidence in favour of a universe that obeys the cosmological principle.
