The theory of relativity and super-luminal-speeds

According to some local properties of Lorentz transformation, Einstein stated: Velocities greater than that of light have no possibility of existence. He neglected to point out the applicable range of the special theory of relativity. In fact, it could only be applied to the subluminal-speed. This paper shows that if we think of the possibility of the existence of the superluminal-speed and redescribe the special theory of relativity following Einstein's way, a new kinematic theory would be founded. The new theory would retain all kinematical meaning of the special theory of relativity when matters move with subluminal-speed and would give new content when matters move with superluminal-speed. The paper also discusses the observation principle for the motions with superluminal-speed.     

Distribution Characteristics of Sulfur and the Main Harmful Trace Elements in China’s Coal

To promote the rational development and use of clean coal resources in China, data on the regional and age distribution of sulfur, arsenic and other harmful elements in Chinese coal was broadly collected, tested for content, and analyzed. Coal in northwestern China is characterized by low to extremely low levels of sulfur; the coal of the Taiyuan Formation in northern China mainly has high-sulfur content; that of the Shanxi Formation is mainly characterized by low sulfur coal; and the Late Permian coal in southern China has overall higher sulfur content; other regions have low sulfur coal. The average content of harmful trace elements in the bulk of China＇s coal is similar to the corresponding content in the coal of the North America and the rest of the world, whereas the content of various elements （Hg, Sb and Se） is different in magnitude to the corresponding percentage in the crust. The average content of the elements Cr, Se, Co, Be, U, Br in Late Permian coal in S China ranks first in the country whereas the average content of Hg and CI in the coals of Late Carboniferous to Early Permian age in N China are the highest. The average content of Mn in Early and Middle Jurassic coal is higher in NW China. The high content of harmful elements in some coal should cause particular concern both in the development and utilization of coal.

Inversely-Mapped Analytical Solutions for Flow Patterns around and within Inclined Elliptic Inclusions in Fluid-Saturated Rocks

In this paper, an inverse mapping is used to transform the previously-derived analytical solutions from a local elliptical coordinate system into a conventional Cartesian coordinate system. This enables a complete set of exact analytical solutions to be derived rigorously for the pore-fluid velocity, stream function, and excess pore-fluid pressure around and within buried inclined elliptic inclusions in pore-fluid-saturated porous rocks. To maximize the application range of the derived analytical solutions, the focal distance of an ellipse is used to represent the size of the ellipse, while the length ratio of the long axis to the short one is used to represent the geometrical shape of the ellipse. Since the present analytical solutions are expressed in a conventional Cartesian coordinate system, it is convenient to investigate, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the distribution patterns of the pore-fluid flow and excess pressure around and within many different families of buried inclined elliptic inclusions. The major advantage in using the present analytical solution is that they can be conveniently computed in a global Cartesian coordinate system, which is widely used in many scientific and engineering computations. As an application example, the present analytical solutions have been used to investigate how the dip angle of an inclined elliptic inclusion affects the distribution patterns of the pore-fluid flow and excess pore-fluid pressure when the permeability ratio of the elliptic inclusion is of finite but nonzero values.

成熟勘探矿集区新一轮找矿：勘查战略创新及铜陵矿集区找矿实例

成熟勘探的矿集区非常有必要开展新一轮的找矿，但矿床模式的局限和大埋藏深度等困难制约了这些地区的预测性找矿发现。促进其预测性找矿发现的关键战略包括：勘查模型的创新、勘查技术的创新和各种信息的综合集成预测。勘查模型的创新必须包含基于地球动力学剖析的新成矿概念，动力学数值模拟是有效的创新手段之一；勘查技术创新的主要目的是加大探测深度和提高探测与解释的准确性，必须以详细可靠的地质资料为基础；综合信息集成是利用GIS和知识驱动及数据驱动的方法充分提取各种数据中的有用信息，集成为更加可靠的预测图。在这种思想的指导下，我们在铜陵凤凰山矿田进行了预测和勘查，并成功地发现了深部的隐伏矿床。     

The theory of relativity and super-luminal speeds

According to the different properties between the ds ² and the ds ⁴, it is discussed that the space-time will have the catastrophe nature on the Finsler metric ds ⁴ (see Cao, 1990, Paper II). The space-time transformations and the physical quantities will suddenly change at the catastrophe theory of the space-time. It will be supposed that only the dual velocity of the super-luminal-speed could be observed (see Cao, 1988). If so, a particle with the super-luminal-speedv>c, could be regarded as its anti-particle with the dual velocityv ₁=c ²/v<c.The project was supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China.     

Theory of relativity and super-luminal speeds

It is possible that the Finsler space-timeF( _{x, y} ) may be endowed with a catastrophic nature. In particular, the horizon of the field of the general relativity is just a catastrophic set. If so, a particle with the super-luminal speeds could be projected near the horizon of these fields, and the particle will move on the space-like curves. It is very interesting that, in the Schwarzschild fields, the theoretical calculation as the space-like curves should be in agreement with the data of the superluminal expansion of extragalactic radio sources observed year after year.The project has been supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.     

甘肃合黎山古元古代正长岩的发现及其对阿拉善地块大地构造属性的启示

阿拉善地块的大地构造属性是近年来地质界激烈争论的科学问题:是华北克拉通的一部分,还是在前寒武纪尚未与华北克拉通拼合?研究阿拉善地块的基底并与华北克拉通主体进行对比,对探讨这一问题具有重要启示。阿拉善地块的基底仅在其东部和西南缘零星出露,且前人的研究主要集中在地块东部。在阿拉善地块西部的合黎山地区,有正长岩侵入龙首山群,并被震旦系不整合覆盖。该正长岩强烈富钾(K_2O=13.77%),轻、重稀土明显分异((La/Yb)_N=46.62),显示Nb-Ta负异常和Pb-Zr-Hf正异常,并具有高Sr低Nd的同位素特征(ε_(Nd)(t)=-5.05),表明该岩体源于玄武质下地壳的部分熔融。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年表明,该正长岩形成于(1872±12) Ma,即古元古代,并记录了～2.7 Ga的地壳生长以及～2.5 Ga和～1.95 Ga的岩浆活动。合黎山古元古代正长岩的发现补充了阿拉善地块前寒武纪基底的组成,进一步完善了阿拉善地块新太古代—古元古代基底和构造热事件的时代格架,且与华北克拉通主体十分相似,指示二者具有明显的亲缘性。
