Electron acceleration associated with the magnetic flux pileup regions in the near-Earth plasma sheet: A multicase study

Using the Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) observations, we study electron acceleration (<30 keV) in the magnetic flux pileup regions (FPRs) in the near-Earth plasma sheet (X ~ –10 RE). We present three cases of FRPs associated with dipolarization fronts and substorm dipolarization. Based on the characteristics of the magnetic field, we defined the magnetic field enhancement region (MFER) as the magnetic field with significant ramp that is usually observed near the dipolarization front boundary layer. On the other side, the increased magnetic field without a significant ramp is the rest of a FPR. Our results show that betatron acceleration dominates for 10–30 keV electrons inside the MFER, whereas Fermi acceleration dominates for 10–30 keV electrons inside the rest of the FPR. Betatron acceleration is caused by the enhancement of the local magnetic field, whereas Fermi acceleration is related to the shrinking length of magnetic field line. These accelerated electrons inside the FPRs in the near-Earth tail play a potentially important role in the evolution of the Earth's electron radiation belt and substorms

Balanced geological section for extensional tectonic basin and its implication: An example from southern Songliao Basin

挤压构造的平衡地质剖面分析已经广泛应用于造山带构造分析, 但伸展构造区的平衡地质剖面分析实例仍然很少. 运用盆地分析的技术与方法, 分层序或阶段将地质构造依次恢复、地层逐层回剥, 并通过在松辽盆地南部吉林两井油田扶余油层4 条剖面的实践, 复原出不同时代盆地构造与地层发育的连续剖面, 揭示出松辽盆地南部主要构造样式是以浅表构造层次的负花状构造及深层剥离断层发育为特征; 断层生长指数、盆地的伸展史和伸展量等参数显示, 晚白垩世是构造转型的重要阶段, 此前主要为走滑构造样式形成阶段, 此后则主要为伸展滑脱构造发育阶段. 在此基础上, 提出松辽盆地具有伸展- 走滑双重力学构造性质, 可能是一个弧后构造盆地.The balanced geological sect ion has been widely used for the analysis of orogenic belt, but it is infrequent for ex tensional basins. In this paper, 4 extensional balanced geological sect ion analysis were practiced in Fuyu oil layer of Liangjing , Jilin oilfield, southern Songliao basin with the technology and method, including deformation history restoration, decompaction and erosion restoration. The structure of different ages and the continuous sedimentary sections have been restored. T he result s show that the structural styles possess the characteristics of negative flower structure in the shallow level and ex tensional detachment in deep level. The parameters, including fault growth index, the basin ex tensional history and fault detachment depth, indicate that Late Cretaceous is an important stage for the structure transferring mainly with a strike-slip style before this time and an ex tensional structure and detachment after this time. Therefore, a basin model with twin dynamic property and back-arc characters is proposed.published_or_final_versio

Ethnic differences in susceptibilities to A(H1N1) flu: An epidemic parameter indicating a weak viral virulence

The current A(H1N1) flu has showed sub-population dependent susceptibility and fatality as early as April and May of 2009 in its first wave of spreading. After the pandemic outbreak spreads globally for more than seven months, the subpopulation dependence of this flu, including ethnicity, age and genderselectivity, has been recognized by several research groups. This paper attempts to discussed how to identify ethnic selectivity from the released data by WHO relevant to this ongoing flu, review some recently published papers describing the presence of ethnic differences in susceptibilities to the H1N1flu virus and further raised an argument that ethnic differences in&#160; susceptibilities to a virus might be a piece of evidence reflecting a weak virulence of that specific virus
