非对称多站在目标跟踪中的精度几何递变

现有靶场测量系统的笛氏坐标精确度估计取决于目标的位置以及测量仪器的数量、位置和精确度等因素。本报告分析了测量仪器的非对称布站问题。这是以往研究成果的推广,并且处理了更为一般性的问题。研究结果证明,对于测角仪器,当测站布局为非对称时,误差估计与所用的方位参考系有一定的关系。导出了几类布站几何的误差表达式,并为某类布站几何找出了最优的几何布站方案。

Supraglacial sulfur springs and associated biological activity in the Canadian high arctic-signs of life beneath the ice

Unique springs, discharging from the surface of an arctic glacier, release H(2)S and deposit native sulfur, gypsum, and calcite. The presence of sulfur in three oxidation states indicates a complex series of redox reactions. Physical and chemical conditions of the spring water and surrounding environment, as well as mineralogical and isotopic signatures, suggest biologically mediated reactions. Cell counts and DNA analyses confirm bacteria are present in the spring system, and a limited number of sequenced isolates suggests that complex communities of bacteria live within the glacial system.     

Necessary, but not sufficient: Raman identification of disordered carbon as a signature of ancient life

To identify microscopic particles as actual fossil material, it would be useful to have a means of unambiguously recognizing which carbonaceous deposits found in rocks are residues from once-living organisms (i.e., biogenic material). Those residues consist of many different, mostly aromatic (i.e., benzene ring-containing), C-O-H-dominated molecules, and typically are called kerogens. Raman microprobe spectroscopy can be applied to minute samples of ancient kerogens either isolated from their host rocks or in situ in thin section. The Raman spectra generated by monochromatic blue or green laser excitation (e.g., at 488, 514, 532 nm) typically show only generic spectral features indicative of discontinuous arrays of condensed benzene rings (i.e., structures referred to as "disordered carbonaceous material"). Thus, despite the complex chemistry of kerogens and the expected presence of H, O, and N, the Raman spectra typically do not show any evidence of functional groups, such as CH, CH(2), CH(3), CO, and CN. Moreover, the same kind of Raman spectral signature as is obtained from kerogens also is obtained from many other poorly ordered carbonaceous materials that arise through nonbiological processes, such as in situ heating of organic or inorganic compounds (whether or not they are of biological origin), metamorphic mobilization of preexisting carbon compounds, and high-temperature precipitation from hydrothermal solutions. Thus, neither a Raman spectrum, nor a Raman image derived from such spectra, definitively can identify a sample as "kerogen," but only as "disordered carbonaceous material." Clearly, the fact that small, opaque grains consist of disordered carbonaceous material is necessary, but not sufficient, to prove them to be residues of cellular material and, thus, biogenic.     

平面磨削时表层质量过程监测参教的实验研究(1)——磨削表层金相组织状态及烧伤的过程监测和预报

磨削过程中零件表层物理特性如金相组织、表面残余应力、磨削烧伤等的过程监测是为确保零件制造质量的重要课题,但目前尚难于在生产过程中实现。 在平面磨床上进行大量磨削16MoCr5表面硬化钢的试验后发现,单位面积磨削功率P″_c与砂轮—工件接触区最高平均温度T_(max)间有极好的函数对应关系。而磨削表层金相组织状态和发生烧伤主要决定于接触区的温度,因而可以应用相对容易测量计算的单位面积磨削功率P″_c来识别这些状态。如果P″_c没有超过某一特定的临界值P″_(cⅠ)时,磨削表层保持正常的针状马氏体组织。在超过P″_(cⅠ)的情况下,切向磨削力的斜率增加,当P″_c又超过第二临界值P″_(cⅡ)后,磨削表面由于烧伤而出现了变色层,表层金相组织和显微硬度证实了工件的这些不同的情况。试验结果表明,单位面积磨削功率P″_c,可以作为磨削过程监测和预报表层金相组织状态和磨削烧伤的可靠的过程特征参量,在生产实践中应用。     

Biomarker response to galactic cosmic ray-induced NOx and the methane greenhouse effect in the atmosphere of an Earth-like planet orbiting an M dwarf star

Planets orbiting in the habitable zone of M dwarf stars are subject to high levels of galactic cosmic rays (GCRs), which produce nitrogen oxides (NOx) in Earth-like atmospheres. We investigate to what extent these NO(Mx) species may modify biomarker compounds such as ozone (O3) and nitrous oxide (N2O), as well as related compounds such as water (H2O) (essential for life) and methane (CH4) (which has both abiotic and biotic sources). Our model results suggest that such signals are robust, changing in the M star world atmospheric column due to GCR NOx effects by up to 20% compared to an M star run without GCR effects, and can therefore survive at least the effects of GCRs. We have not, however, investigated stellar cosmic rays here. CH4 levels are about 10 times higher on M star worlds than on Earth because of a lowering in hydroxyl (OH) in response to changes in the ultraviolet. The higher levels of CH4 are less than reported in previous studies. This difference arose partly because we used different biogenic input. For example, we employed 23% lower CH4 fluxes compared to those studies. Unlike on Earth, relatively modest changes in these fluxes can lead to larger changes in the concentrations of biomarker and related species on the M star world. We calculate a CH4 greenhouse heating effect of up to 4K. O3 photochemistry in terms of the smog mechanism and the catalytic loss cycles on the M star world differs considerably compared with that of Earth.     

Hydrothermal systems in small ocean planets

We examine means for driving hydrothermal activity in extraterrestrial oceans on planets and satellites of less than one Earth mass, with implications for sustaining a low level of biological activity over geological timescales. Assuming ocean planets have olivine-dominated lithospheres, a model for cooling-induced thermal cracking shows how variation in planet size and internal thermal energy may drive variation in the dominant type of hydrothermal system-for example, high or low temperature system or chemically driven system. As radiogenic heating diminishes over time, progressive exposure of new rock continues to the current epoch. Where fluid-rock interactions propagate slowly into a deep brittle layer, thermal energy from serpentinization may be the primary cause of hydrothermal activity in small ocean planets. We show that the time-varying hydrostatic head of a tidally forced ice shell may drive hydrothermal fluid flow through the seafloor, which can generate moderate but potentially important heat through viscous interaction with the matrix of porous seafloor rock. Considering all presently known potential ocean planets-Mars, a number of icy satellites, Pluto, and other trans-neptunian objects-and applying Earth-like material properties and cooling rates, we find depths of circulation are more than an order of magnitude greater than in Earth. In Europa and Enceladus, tidal flexing may drive hydrothermal circulation and, in Europa, may generate heat on the same order as present-day radiogenic heat flux at Earth's surface. In all objects, progressive serpentinization generates heat on a globally averaged basis at a fraction of a percent of present-day radiogenic heating and hydrogen is produced at rates between 10(9) and 10(10) molecules cm(2) s(1).
