Using hydrogeochemical analysis of two large boreal rivers (pristine Kalix and hydropower regulated Lule) discharging into the Gulf of Bothnia, the major impacts of regulation on water discharge, element transport and their seasonal redistribution have been assessed. The pre-regulation hydrogeochemical features were assumed to be similar for the two rivers. For the Lule River, the average maximum runoff was almost halved, while the average minimum was tripled as a result of the regulation. The fraction of winter transport of total organic carbon (TOC), Fe, Si, suspended Mn and P in the Lule River was, according to a conservative estimate, two to three times higher than in the pristine river. Longer residence time in the Lule River delayed arrival of the suspended Mn peak and dissolved Si decline to the river mouth. During summer, the suspended C/N ratio in the regulated river was 10–20 compared to <10 for the pristine, suggesting presence of predominantly old organic material. This was supported by a virtually constant suspended P/Fe ratio throughout the year in the Lule River, indicating low abundance of phytoplankton. TOC varied irregularly in the Lule River suggesting temporal disconnection between the river and the upper riparian zone. The disappearance of the spring flow maximum, a shift of element transport from spring to winter and supply of mainly old organic material during the vegetation growth season may have a pronounced impact on the ecosystem of the Gulf of Bothnia and the river itself. 相似文献

Clay-brick unreinforced masonry (URM) chimneys are a common architectural feature of vintage domestic and commercial URM and timber-framed buildings widely encountered worldwide. URM chimneys include a cantilevered appendage above the roofline that during earthquakes-induced shaking is susceptible to significant damage and collapse, which can result in fatalities, injuries, and property damage. To mitigate this risk, many vintage URM chimneys are removed, braced, or eventually replaced with modern alternatives. The earthquake performance of 15,400 URM chimneys damaged during the 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence was investigated using a photographic database and insurance claims data. The widespread damage and failure of a large proportion of retrofitted chimneys was the impetus for an experimental shake-table testing campaign that was undertaken to assess the performance of five prototypical URM chimneys in their as-built and retrofitted conditions. Cost-effective retrofit techniques with low aesthetic impact, including the use of near surface mounted carbon-fibre reinforced polymer strips and post-tensioning, were investigated. Tested chimneys were constructed to replicate the most commonly encountered geometric characteristics and construction details collected during an in-field pilot survey of 351 undamaged vintage URM chimneys. 相似文献

Viability of pyrite pulled metabolism in the ‘iron-sulfur world’ theory: Quantum chemical assessment

The viability of pyrite-pulled metabolism in the ‘iron-sulfur world’ theory was assessed using a simple model of iron-nickel sulfide (Fe-Ni-S) surface and data obtained from quantum chemical calculations. We have investigated how the individual reactions in the carbon fixation cycle (carboxylic acids formation) on an Fe-Ni-S surface could have operated to produce carboxylic acids from carbon oxide and water. The proposed model cycle reveals how the individual reactions might have functioned and provides the thermodynamics of each step of the proposed pathway. The feasibility of individual reactions, as well the whole cycle was considered. The reaction of acetic acid production from CH3SH and CO on an Fe-Ni sulfide surface was revealed to be endergonic with a few partial steps having positive Gibbs free energy. On the other hand, the pyrite formation was found to be slightly exergonic. The significance of the catalytic activity of transition metal sulfides in generation of acetic acid was shown. The Gibbs free energy values indicate that the acetic acid synthesis is unfavorable to proceed on the studied Fe-Ni-S model under simulated conditions. The importance of these results in terms of a primordial chemistry on iron-nickel sulfide surfaces is discussed. 相似文献

We propose a method to synthesize the inverse Compton (IC) γ-ray image of a supernova remnant starting from the radio (or hard X-ray) map and using results of the spatially resolved X-ray spectral analysis. The method is successfully applied to SN 1006. We found that synthesized IC γ-ray images of SN 1006 show morphology in nice agreement with that reported by the High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS) collaboration. The good correlation found between the observed very high energy γ-ray and X-ray/radio appearance can be considered as evidence of the fact that the γ-ray emission of SN 1006 observed by HESS is leptonic in origin, although a hadronic origin may not be excluded. 相似文献

Climate change has the potential to affect terrestrial ecosystems and, thereby, the carbon cycle. Various vegetation biomes are likely to respond differently to changes in climatic factors. The purpose of this study was to analyse the trends of the terrestrial vegetation productivity and climate drivers on regional levels and relations between ones. The gross primary productivity from the global satellite-based terrestrial production efficiency model (PEM) MOD17 as the vegetation productivity indicator and meteorological data from the weather station network as climatic indicators were used. The analysis covered a period from 2000 to 2012. Correlation analysis was used to quantify the association between the vegetation productivity and climatic indicators for different growing seasons and landscape-climatic zones of Ukraine. The Mann–Kendall trend test was applied to take into account seasonal features. Multiple linear regression models for corresponding seasons and zones have been simulated using the principal component analysis. The results showed no detectable limiting effect of the climatic drivers on plant productivity for forest areas. The limiting effect of the temperature increasing and precipitation amount decreasing for the steppe zone and eastern forest-steppe subzone of Ukraine for summer was observed. 相似文献

A single crystal X-ray diffraction study on lithium tetraborate Li2B4O7 (diomignite, space group I41
cd) has been performed under pressure up to 8.3 GPa. No phase transitions were found in the pressure range investigated, and
hence the pressure evolution of the unit-cell volume of the I41
cd structure has been described using a third-order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state (BM-EoS) with the following parameters:
V

= 923.21(6) Å3, K

= 45.6(6) GPa, and K′ = 7.3(3). A linearized BM-EoS was fitted to the axial compressibilities resulting in the following parameters a

c
= 7.5(2) for the a and c axes, respectively. The elastic anisotropy of Li2B4O7 is very large with the zero-pressure compressibility ratio β

0a
= 3.0(1). The large elastic anisotropy is consistent with the crystal structure: A three-dimensional arrangement of relatively
rigid tetraborate groups [B4O7]2− forms channels occupied by lithium along the polar c–axis, and hence compression along the c axis requires the shrinkage of the lithium channels, whereas compression in the a direction depends mainly on the contraction of the most rigid [B4O7]2− units. Finally, the isothermal bulk modulus obtained in this work is in general agreement with that derived from ultrasonic
(Adachi et al. in Proceedings-IEEE Ultrasonic Symposium, 228–232, 1985; Shorrocks et al. in Proceedings-IEEE Ultrasonic Symposium, 337–340, 1981) and Brillouin scattering measurements (Takagi et al. in Ferroelectrics, 137:337–342, 1992). 相似文献

A number of important processes taking place around strong shocks in supernova remnants (SNRs) depend on the shock obliquity. The measured synchrotron flux is a function of the aspect angle between interstellar magnetic field (ISMF) and the line of sight. Thus, a model of non-thermal emission from SNRs should account for the orientation of the ambient magnetic field. We develop a new method for the estimation of the aspect angle, based on the comparison between observed and synthesized radio maps of SNRs, making different assumptions about the dependence of electron injection efficiency on the shock obliquity. The method uses the azimuthal profile of radio surface brightness as a probe for orientation of ambient magnetic field because it is almost insensitive to the downstream distribution of magnetic field and emitting electrons. We apply our method to a new radio image of SN 1006 produced on the basis of archival Very Large Array and Parkes data. The image recovers emission from all spatial structures with angular scales from a few arcsec to 15 arcmin. We explore different models of injection efficiency and find the following best-fitting values for the aspect angle of SN 1006: φo = 70o ± 4.2o if the injection is isotropic, φo = 64o ± 2.8o for quasi-perpendicular injection (SNR has an equatorial belt in both cases) and φo = 11o ± 0.8o for quasi-parallel injection (polar-cap model of SNR). In the last case, SN 1006 is expected to have a centrally peaked morphology contrary to what is observed. Therefore, our analysis provides some indication against the quasi-parallel injection model. 相似文献

The results of monitoring the flaring activity of Mrk 421 with the XMM-Newton and RXTE orbiting observatories are presented.
The ASM/RXTE data show that, during most of the observational period, 2002–2006, the source was in a very active state, with
a mean 1.5–12 keV flux equals ∼17 mCrab. Analysis of daily and weekly averaged data shows strong X-ray variability of Mrk
421 on time scales from days to months. The long-term light curve demonstrates a rich variety of variability patterns and
a complex hierarchical flare structure, in most cases superimposed on longer trends of rising and decreasing source activity.
Quantitative estimates of the variability of Mrk 421 shows evidence of correlations between the source intensity in X-rays
and the variability parameters, both for separate years and epochs and for most of the observational period. The soft and
hard X-ray components (according to XMM-Newton data) are correlated with each other, and spectral changes (according to ASM/RXTE
data) are characterized by increasing hardness with brightening of the object in X-rays. Moderate spectral variability at
individual epochs and evidence for an energy dependence of the source variability are also observed. The 2–12 keV fluxes from
Mrk 421 detected by XMM-Newton are consistent with the maximum 2–10 keV flux detected by ASCA ∼10 years ago. An analysis of simultaneous day-time-scale variability of Mrk 421 in X-rays (ASM/RXTE) and very-high-energy
γ-rays (GT-48 Cherenkov telescope of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory) in periods of increased activity of the source
in December 2002 and April 2004 is also presented.

We derive constraints on the parameters of the radiatively decaying dark matter (DM) particle, using the XMM–Newton EPIC spectra of the Andromeda galaxy (M31). Using the observations of the outer (5–13 arcmin) parts of M31, we improve the existing constraints. For the case of sterile neutrino DM, combining our constraints with the latest computation of abundances of sterile neutrinos in the Dodelson–Widrow (DW) scenario, we obtain the lower mass limit m s < 4 keV , which is stronger than the previous one m s < 6 keV , obtained recently by Asaka, Laine & Shaposhnikov. Comparing this limit with the most recent results on Lyman α forest analysis of Viel et al. ( m s > 5.6 keV ), we argue that the scenario in which all the DM is produced via the DW mechanism is ruled out. We discuss, however, other production mechanisms and note that the sterile neutrino remains a viable candidate for DM, either warm or cold. 相似文献

The interpretation of seismic refraction and wide angle reflection data usually involves the creation of a velocity model based on an inverse or forward modelling of the travel times of crustal and mantle phases using the ray theory approach. The modelling codes differ in terms of model parameterization, data used for modelling, regularization of the result, etc. It is helpful to know the capabilities, advantages and limitations of the code used compared to others.This work compares some popular 2D seismic modelling codes using the dataset collected along the seismic wide-angle profile DOBRE-4, where quite peculiar/uncommon reflected phases were observed in the wavefield.The ~505 km long profile was realized in southern Ukraine in 2009, using 13 shot points and 230 recording stations. Double PMP phases with a different reduced time (7.5–11 s) and a different apparent velocity, intersecting each other, are observed in the seismic wavefield. This is the most striking feature of the data. They are interpreted as reflections from strongly dipping Moho segments with an opposite dip. Two steps were used for the modelling. In the previous work by Starostenko et al. (2013), the trial-and-error forward model based on refracted and reflected phases (SEIS83 code) was published. The interesting feature is the high-amplitude (8–17 km) variability of the Moho depth in the form of downward and upward bends. This model is compared with results from other seismic inversion methods: the first arrivals tomography package FAST based on first arrivals; the JIVE3D code, which can also use later refracted arrivals and reflections; and the forward and inversion code RAYINVR using both refracted and reflected phases. Modelling with all the codes tested showed substantial variability of the Moho depth along the DOBRE-4 profile. However, SEIS83 and RAYINVR packages seem to give the most coincident results. 相似文献
