西准噶尔紫苏花岗岩成因岩石学研究

Charnockites occur as giant enclaves or pendants(?) in the Miaoergou Batholith, Western Junggar region. These rocks are composed of ortho- and clinopyroxenes, fayalite, perthite, antiperthite, and quartz, and are characterized by positive εNd values (+4.8+5.9). Mineral assemblage, texture and field occurrence indicate an igneous origin for the charnockites.Temperature and pressure estimations give700800 ℃and 45 kb crystallization conditions.The charnockites enclose small surmicaceous enclaves and large banded angular xenoliths. The former are considered as restites, while the latter are equivalent to the country pyroclastic rocks. The positive but lowerεNd values (+2.6+3.5) for the restites require that the juvenile lower crust was the dominant source for charnockitic magma, and parental magma of the charnockites from this source was mixed with some melt from depleted mantle, before crystallization. The voluminous alkaline granites in the region were probably from the same magma source, but crystallized at upper crust depth.紫苏花岗岩呈岩体形式侵入于石炭纪地层中,又为碱长花岗岩侵入.紫苏花岗岩由斜方辉石、单斜辉石、铁橄榄石、条纹长石、石英组成,以正εNd 为特征(εNd=+4.8~+5.8).矿物组成、结构和野外产状表明:这些紫苏花岗岩是火成成因的.温压计算估测其结晶条件是T=700~800 ℃, P=420~575 kPa.紫苏花岗岩中有小的富云母包体和巨大的条带状捕虏体.前者被认为是残留体,后者与其围岩-火山碎屑岩相当.残留体中较低的εNd 正值(εNd=+2.6~+3.5)要求新生的下部地壳是紫苏花岗岩的主要源岩:来自这些源岩的紫苏花岗岩的母岩浆在结晶前与一些来自于亏损地幔中的融体混合.该地区体积巨大的碱性花岗岩可能也来自相同的岩浆源,只不过它是在较浅的地壳深度上结晶的.关键词:新疆;西准噶尔;紫苏花岗岩;富云母包体;碱性花岗岩紫苏花岗岩呈岩体形式侵入于石炭纪地层中,又为碱长花岗岩侵入.紫苏花岗岩由斜方辉石、单斜辉石、铁橄榄石、条纹长石、石英组成,以正εNd 为特征(εNd=+4.8~+5.8).矿物组成、结构和野外产状表明:这些紫苏花岗岩是火成成因的.温压计算估测其结晶条件是T=700~800 ℃, P=420~575 kPa.紫苏花岗岩中有小的富云母包体和巨大的条带状捕虏体.前者被认为是残留体,后者与其围岩-火山碎屑岩相当.残留体中较低的εNd 正值(εNd=+2.6~+3.5)要求新生的下部地壳是紫苏花岗岩的主要源岩:来自这些源岩的紫苏花岗岩的母岩浆在结晶前与一些来自于亏损地幔中的融体混合.该地区体积巨大的碱性花岗岩可能也来自相同的岩浆源,只不过它是在较浅的地壳深度上结晶的.published_or_final_versio

L-Visibility Drawings of IC-planar Graphs

An IC-plane graph is a topological graph where every edge is crossed at most once and no two crossed edges share a vertex. We show that every IC-plane graph has a visibility drawing where every vertex is an L-shape, and every edge is either a horizontal or vertical segment. As a byproduct of our drawing technique, we prove that an IC-plane graph has a RAC drawing in quadratic area with at most two bends per edge

A review towards finding a simplified approach for modelling the kinetics of the soluble microbial products (SMP) in an integrated mathematical model of membrane bioreactor (MBR)

Soluble microbial products (SMPs) tend to accumulate in the membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems as a consequence of high membrane rejection and apparently low biodegradability within the wastewater treatment system. The extension of the activated sludge models (ASMs) with SMPs, therefore, has received crucial importance in recent days, particularly considering their potential use as indicators of the membrane fouling propensity. This paper presents a critical review of the formation and degradation kinetics of SMP subdivisions that have so far been used for the mathematical modelling of MBR. The paper identified a simplified approach to incorporate the kinetics of the SMP formation and degradation in the general mathematical models of MBR. It suggested that the inclusion of only four additional linear differential equations in the ASM1-SMP integrated mathematical model could simulate well the effluent quality and membrane fouling prediction. The model would also serve as a useful tool in optimizing operation conditions for better treatability and fouling control. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd

Reducing combinatorial uncertainties: A new technique based on MT2 variables

We propose a new method to resolve combinatorial ambiguities in hadron collider events involving two invisible particles in the final state. This method is based on the kinematic variable MT2 and on the MT2-assisted-on-shell reconstruction of invisible momenta, that are reformulated as `test' variables Ti of the correct combination against the incorrect ones. We show how the efficiency of the single Ti in providing the correct answer can be systematically improved by combining the different Ti and/or by introducing cuts on suitable, combination-insensitive kinematic variables. We illustrate our whole approach in the specific example of top anti-top production, followed by a leptonic decay of the W on both sides. However, by construction, our method is also directly applicable to many topologies of interest for new physics, in particular events producing a pair of undetected particles, that are potential dark-matter candidates. We finally emphasize that our method is apt to several generalizations, that we outline in the last sections of the paper.Comment: 1+23 pages, 8 figures. Main changes in v3: (1) discussion at the end of sec. 2 improved; (2) added sec. 4.2 about the method's dependence on mass information. Matches journal versio

Finite-temperature Gutzwiller projection for strongly correlated electron systems

We generalized the Gutzwiller projectional variational method for the ground state of strongly correlated electron systems to the case of finite temperature. Under the Gutzwiller approximation, we show that this maps to a finite temperature renormalized mean-field theory. As one of the key ingredients in the theory, we obtained an explicit expression of the projection entropy or the entropy change due to the projection. We illustrate the application of the theory to the Anderson impurity problem and the half-filled Hubbard model and compare the theory to more elaborate techniques. We find qualitative agreement. The theory can be applied to a wide variety of Hubbard, t-J, and Anderson impurity models. © 2010 The American Physical Society.published_or_final_versio

New proposed conceptual mathematical models for biomass viability and membrane fouling of membrane bioreactor

The production and accumulation of soluble microbial products (SMP), extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and colloidal inert compounds within a membrane bioreactor (MBR) may greatly affect the biomass viability and subsequently the permeability of the membrane. This paper aims at presenting new mathematical models of biomass viability and membrane fouling that has been conceptually developed through establishing links between these biomass parameters and operating parameters of the MBR. The proposed models can be used to predict the biomass viability and membrane fouling at any state of operation of MBR. Meanwhile, easily measurable parameters of the proposed model can also serve to estimate SMP/EPS concentration in the supernatant of MBR without the tedious and expensive measurement. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd

Intermedin attenuates LPS-induced inflammation in the rat testis

First reported as a vasoactive peptide in the cardiovascular system, intermedin (IMD), also known as adrenomedullin 2 (ADM2), is a hormone with multiple potent roles, including its antioxidant action on the pulmonary, central nervous, cardiovascular and renal systems. Though IMD may play certain roles in trophoblast cell invasion, early embryonic development and cumulus cell-oocyte interaction, the role of IMD in the male reproductive system has yet to be investigated. This paper reports our findings on the gene expression of IMD, its receptor components and its protein localization in the testes. In a rat model, bacterial lippolysaccharide (LPS) induced atypical orchitis, and LPS treatment upregulated the expression of IMD and one of its receptor component proteins, i.e. receptor activity modifying protein 2 (RAMP2). IMD decreased both plasma and testicular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, attenuated the increase in the gene expression of the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interleukin 6 (IL6) and interleukin 1 beta (IL1β), rescued spermatogenesis, and prevented the decrease in plasma testosterone levels caused by LPS. The restorative effect of IMD on steroidogenesis was also observed in hydrogen peroxide-treated rat primary Leydig cells culture. Our results indicate IMD plays an important protective role in spermatogenesis and steroidogenesis, suggesting therapeutic potential for IMD in pathological conditions such as orchitis.published_or_final_versio

Pan-African metamorphic and magmatic rocks of the Khanka Massif, NE China: Further evidence regarding their affinity

The Khanka Massif is a crustal block located along the eastern margin of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) and bordered to the east by Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous circum-Pacific accretionary complexes of the Eastern Asian continental margin. It consists of graphite-, sillimanite- and cordierite-bearing gneisses, carbonates and felsic paragneisses, in association with various orthogneisses. Metamorphic zircons from a sillimanite gneiss from the Hutou complex yield a weighted mean 206Pb/ 238U age of 490 ± 4 Ma, whereas detrital zircons from the same sample give ages from 934-610 Ma. Magmatic zircon cores in two garnet-bearing granite gneiss samples, also collected from the Hutou complex, yield weighted mean 206Pb/ 238U ages of 522 ± 5 Ma and 515 ± 8 Ma, whereas their metamorphic rims record 206Pb/ 238U ages of 510-500 Ma. These data indicate that the Hutou complex in the Khanka Massif records early Palaeozoic magmatic and metamorphic events, identical in age to those in the Mashan Complex of the Jiamusi Massif to the west. The older zircon populations in the sillimanite gneiss indicate derivation from Neoproterozoic sources, as do similar rocks in the Jiamusi Massif. These data confirm that the Khanka Massif has a close affinity with other major components of the CAOB to the west of the Dun-Mi Fault. Based on these results and previously published data, the Khanka Massif is therefore confirmed as having formed a single crustal entity with the Jiamusi (and possibly the Bureya) massif since Neoproterozoic time.

Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction and Spiral Order in Spin-orbit Coupled Optical Lattices

We show that the recent experimental realization of spin-orbit coupling in ultracold atomic gases can be used to study different types of spin spiral order and resulting multiferroic effects. Spin-orbit coupling in optical lattices can give rise to the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) spin interaction which is essential for spin spiral order. By taking into account spin-orbit coupling and an external Zeeman field, we derive an effective spin model in the Mott insulator regime at half filling and demonstrate that the DM interaction in optical lattices can be made extremely strong with realistic experimental parameters. The rich finite temperature phase diagrams of the effective spin models for fermions and bosons are obtained via classical Monte Carlo simulations.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure
