强抗干扰电磁感应新方法

在城市中进行地球物理勘探,传统的勘探方法是很难做到的,它受到强电磁、地下管线、管道等诸多方面的干扰.无线电频率电磁波法是利用无线电波频率信号进行勘探的一种地球物理勘探新方法,它通过不接地电极和磁道探头接收高频无线电波信号,有效的压制城市中复杂交错的人文电磁干扰,利用相应软件,经过OCCAM算法实现矢量、标量计算,可以得...     

Benthic fauna of Blagopoluchiya Bay (Novaya Zemlya Archipelago,Kara Sea)

The benthic fauna was studied in the Blagopoluchiya Bay (Kara Sea, Novaya Zemlya Archipelago) during an expedition of the R/V Professor Shtokman in autumn 2013. The inner basin of the bay, with depths of around 150 m, is separated from the outer slope of Novaya Zemlya by a shoal 30 m in depth. Six macrobenthic communities were described at nine stations (25 bottom grab samples) taken along a transect from the inner part of the bay to the outer part of the slope. The depths, position on the transect axis and sediment types were the major factors influencing the distribution of the communities. The benthic abundance and biomass in the inner and outer parts of the bay did not differ significantly. The diversity of macrobenthic organisms (α-diversity as the number of species in the sample and β-diversity as the rate of increase in species number in the area) was lower in the inner part of the bay. The intertidal zone (littoral) has been described. The littoral fauna was very poor; it comprised only the amphipods Gammarus setosus inhabiting the near-surface area.     

Nanodiamond formation in natural processes from fluid systems at low P-T parameters

The paper presents a new physicochemical model of the formation of nanosized diamonds from an OHC fluid system under low temperature and pressure conditions corresponding to the graphite stability area. This model in general explains the specific features of the composition of gas mixtures for CVD and hydrothermal synthesis in terms of diamond growth and formation under metastable conditions. It also explains the origin of nanodiamonds and microdiamonds in metamorphic rocks of the Earth’s crust and the genesis of nanodiamonds in outer space at low temperatures and pressures.     

Nanodiamond Formation at the Lithogenesis and Low-Stages of Regional Metamorphism

Samples of gilsonite from Adzharia, anthraxolite and graphite of coal from Taimyr, shungite from Karelia, and anthracite from Donbass are studied using Raman spectroscopy. Peaks at 1600 cm^?1, indicating the presence of nanographite, are recorded in all samples. The anthracite sample from Donbass, 1330 cm^?1, corresponds to the sp³-line of carbon hybridization conforming to a nanodiamond. It is concluded that in nature diamonds can be formed at late stages of lithogenesis (catagensis, metagenesis), and for coals, it can occur at the zeolite stage of regional metamorphism of rocks, before the green schist stage.
