The results show that, for the time-predictable recurrence, the normalized recurrence interval, T/Tt, obeys very well the lognormal distributions: LN (μ1=0.00, σ21 =0. 152), where, T is an observed recurrence interval, and Tt is the average recurrence interval that is correlative with the size of the preceding event. For the quasi-periodic recurrence, the normalized recurrence interval, T/T, follows the lognormal distribution : LN(μq=0.00, σ2q=0.242), where, T is the median of recurrence intervals for various cycles. A statistical test suggests that, there is no significant difference between the latter distribution, built by this paper, and the recurrence interval distribution for the characteristic earthquakes of the Circum-Pacific Plate boundaries (NB model). Accordingly, this paper combines these two distributions into one and obtains a more stable lognormal distribution :LN (μ = 0.00, σ2 = 0.222), for the quasi-periodic recurrence interval.展开更多

Considering the rupture mode of the main shock, we give the quantitative statistical relationships between R and Mo under 95% confidence level for different sequence typos. Qualitatively, lgR, the logarithm of the aftershock distribution size, is positively correlative to the M0, but the data distribution is dispersed. Viewing from different sequence typos, the correlation between R and M0 is very weak for isolated earthquake type (lET) sequence, R distributes in the range from 5 to 60 km; For mainshock-aftershock type (MAT), lgR is positively correlative to M0; For multiple main shock type (MMT), the corelation between lgR and M0 is not very obvious when M0≤6.2 and R distributes in the range from 5 to 70 km, while it shows a linear correlation when M0≥6.3. The statistical results also show that the occupational ratios of different sequence types for strike-slip and oblique slip are almost the same. But for dip-slip (mostly are thrust mechanisms), the ratio of MAT is higher than that of IET and MMT. Comparing with previous results, it indicates that, when M0 is large enough, R is mainly determined by M0 and there is almost no relationship with the rupture mode of the main shock.展开更多

Further study has proved the normal distributions exist in both the east and west parts of Chinese mainland partitioned along meridian 105°E. The empirical two-dimensional normal distribution functions for the deviations are presented in the paper. The results are of significance in reducing uncertainty of losses assessment immediately after a destroyed earthquake.展开更多

Two flocks of Chinese Bulbul (Pycnontus sinensis sinensis) composed of 38 individuals were found in Hongluosi of Huairou County in September 26—27, 2002. One male Red-winged Crested Cuckoo ( Clamator coromandus ) was observed in Xiaolongmen Wood Farm of Mengtougou District on May 23, 2000. Further surveys indicate that Chinese Bulbul is a resident species of birds in Beijing, the distribution sites include Haidian, Shunyi, Huairou and Fangshan; while Red-winged Crested Cuckoo, a summer visitor, arrives in Beijing in the middle ten days of May and migrates southward in early September. These findings together with the records of Crossoptilon mantchuricum, Ficedula mugimaki, Fringilla coelebs coelebs, F. beijingnica, Phylloscopus sichuanensis since 1990 have increased the bird species living in Beijing from 344 to 351. Habitat restoration and intensive surveys may increase avian species diversity of Beijing.展开更多
