The 144–140 Ma Mafic Dykes in North China and Northeast China Indicating Regional Extensional Tectonic Setting

Objective Previous studies indicate that the North China Craton（NCC）had undergone the loss of thickened lithosphere and fundamental change of physical and chemical property of lithospheric mantle（the destruction of NCC）during the Mesozoic.The peak period of the destruction of NCC is estimated to be 130 Ma,accompanied by widespread metamorphic core complex,rift basins,A-type granites and mafic dykes. However, it remains greatly controversial on the tectonic setting of NCC in the pre- 130Ma.

Extensional Setting of Hainan Island in Mesoproterozoic:Evidence from Granitic Intrusions in the Baoban Group

The Mesoproterozoic Baoban Group is the oldest basement in Hainan Island and has played an important role in Columbia(Nuna)supercontinent reconstructions.The Mesoproterozoic granitic intrusions in the Baoban Group are the most widely-exposed Precambrian magmatic rocks and are the key to understanding the tectonic settings of Hainan Island and its relationship with the South China Block and the Columbia supercontinent.New LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating on three mylonitic granite samples from the Tuwaishan and Baoban areas yield ages ranging from 1447 Ma to 1437 Ma,representing the absolute timing of the emplacement of the granitic intrusions.Combined with previously published geochronological data for rocks from the Baoban Group and regional mafic intrusions,it is concluded that the Baoban Group formed at 1460-1430 Ma,coeval with the emplacement of the granitic and mafic intrusions.New in-situ zircon LuHf isotope analyses for the three mylonitic granite samples yielded positiveε(t)values,ranging from+0.49 to+8.27,with model ages(T~C)ranging from 2181 Ma to 1687 Ma,suggesting that the granitic intrusions originated from a mixed source of Paleoproterozoic crust with juvenile crust.New zircon trace element data show characteristics of high Th/U values of 0.24-1.50,steep slopes from LREE to HREE and negative Pr,Eu anomalies with positive Ce,Sm anomalies,representing typical magmatic zircons formed in continental crust.Compared with available magmatic and detrital zircon ages from Precambrian rocks in the Cathaysia Block,Yangtze Block and western Laurentia,it is inferred that Hainan Island was separated from both the Cathaysia Block and the Yangtze Block,instead being connected with western Laurentia in the Columbia supercontinent.Considering the decreasing tendency of basin deposition time along the western margin of Laurentia,it is proposed that Hainan Island was located to the north or northwest of the Belt-Purcell Supergroup,along the western margin of Laurentia,during the breakup of the Columbia supercontinent.

Zircon U-Pb-Hf isotopic and geochemical characteristics of the Xierzi biotite monzogranite pluton,Linxi,Inner Mongolia and its tectonic implications

The opening, subduction and final closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean led to the formation of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. Controversy has long surrounded the timing of final closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean. Here we present zircon U-Pb ages and petrological, geochemical and in situ Hf isotope data for the Xierzi biotite monzogranite pluton, Linxi, SE Inner Mongolia. U-Pb dating of zircon by LA-ICP-MS yields a middle Permian emplacement age(268.7 ± 2.3 Ma) for the Xierzi pluton that is dominated by biotite monzogranites with high SiO_2(71.2-72.8 wt.%),alkali(Na_2 O + K_2 O =8.05-8.44 wt.%), Al_2 O_3(14.4-15.2 wt.%) and Fe_2 O_3~T relative to low MgO contents, yielding Fe_2 O_3~T/MgO ratios of 2.87-3.44, and plotting within the high-K calc-alkaline field on a SiO_2 vs. K_2 O diagram. The aluminum saturation indexes(A/CNK) of the biotite monzogranites range from 1.06 to 1.19, corresponding to weakly to strongly peraluminous. They are enriched in rare earth elements(REE), high field strength elements(HFSEs; Zr,Hf). and large ion lithophile elements(LILEs; Rb, U, Th). The LREEs are enriched relative to the HREEs,with a distinct negative Eu anomaly in a chondrite-normalized REE diagram. Geochemically, the Xierzi biotite monzogranite is classified as an aluminous A-type granite, with all samples plotting within the A2-type granite field on a Y/Nb vs. Rb/Nb diagram. Zircon ε_(Hf)(t) values and two-stage modal ages of the zircons within the pluton range from +4.80 to +13.65 and from 983 to 418 Ma, respectively, indicating that the primary magma was generated through partial melting of felsic rocks from juvenile crust.Consequently, these results demonstrate that the Xierzi pluton formed under the post-orogenic extensional setting after arc-continent collision in the middle Permian.

New approach to develop a 3D non-isothermal computational framework for injection molding process based on level set method

The simulation of three-dimensional （3D） non-isothermal, non-Newtonian fluid filling process is an extremely difficult task and remains a challenging problem, which includes polymer melt flow with free surface coupled with transient heat transfer. This paper presents a full 3D non-isothermal two-phase flow model to predict the complex flow in melt filling process, where the Cross-WLF model is applied to characterize the rheological behav- ior of polymer melt. The governing equations are solved using finite volume method with SIMPLEC algorithm on collocated grids and the melt front is accurately captured by a high resolution level set method. A domain exten- sion technique is adopted to deal with the complex cavities, which greatly reduces the computational burden. To verify the validity of the developed 3D approach, the melts filling processes in two thin rectangular cavities （one of them with a cylindrical insert） are simulated. The predicted melt front interfaces are in good agreement with the experiment and commercial software prediction. For a case with a rather complex cavity, the dynamic filling process in a hemispherical shell is successfully simulated. All of the numerical results show that the developed numerical procedure can provide a reasonable orediction for injection molding process.

Origin and chronology for hornblende gabbroic intrusions in Urad Zhongqi of western Inner Mongolia and their tectonic implications

The Urad Zhongqi mafic intrusions crop out in western Inner Mongolia and are dominated by hornblende gabbro.Zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating indicates that the mafic pluton was emplaced in the Early Permian(272 ± 3Ma).The hornblende gabbro rocks have low concentrations of Si O2,high total Fe2O3,Mg O,Ni,Co,Sc and Cr.The rocks are characterized by selective enrichment of large ion lithophile elements(LILE) and light rare earth elements(LREE),and depletion in high field strength elements(HFSE)(e.g.Nb,Ta,Zr,Hf,P and Ti).It suggests that they formed from a primary magma generated by the partial melting of lithospheric mantle material had been previously modified by subduction-related fluids.According to the geochemical data and the geology of the region,the authors found that the Early Permian hornblende gabbroic in western Inner Mongolia formed in a post-collisional extensional setting.

Geochronology, geochemistry, and its geological significance of the Permian Mandula mafic rocks in Damaoqi, Inner Mongolia

The Hujierte-Chaganhadamiao volcanic-plutonic sequence is located in the Mandula area of northen Damaoqi, Inner Mongo- lia. It contains mainly mafic volcanics, with several ultramafic blocks in its central part and mafic- ntermediate intrusions in the east. The zircon U-Pb ages of the gabbro and basalt samples are 278.5±3.0 Ma （MSWD=）.66） and 273.7±1.0 Ma （MSWD=0.36）, respectively. These ages constrain the magmatism occurred in the Early Permian. The Mandula Permian mafic rocks are characterized by low abundances of REE and slightly LREE-enriched chondrite-normal zed N-MORB-type REE patterns. And these mafic samples have high （143Nd/144Nd）i （0.51262-0.51270）, relatively high pos tive εNd（t） （3.4-8.0）, and high Mg# （49-54）, suggesting derivation from the depleted asthenosphere mantle source. But they al, show the enrichment in large ion lithophile elements （LILE, e.g. Rb, Ba and Sr）, depletion in high field strength elements （I-FSE）; distinctly negative Nb, Ta anomalies and slightly negative P, Ti anomalies; high （875r/86Sr）i （0.70490-0.70537）, low （206pb/204pb）i （17.39-17.93）. All of these resemble the characteristics of the enriched mantle source or involvement of arc materials in the magma genesis. Furthermore, as shown in the correlation plots of eNd（t） VS （87Sr/86Sr）i, （206pb/204Pb）ivs （207pb/204Pb）i and （208pb/204pb）i, La/Ba La/Nb vs La/Nb, and La/Nb ratio, the magma source could have been experienced the contamination and metasomation from the previous subduction process. And the positive correlation between the selected major oxides and trace elements could be explained by the contamination from continental crust and arc materials during the magmatic emplacement. Combined with the distinct geochemistry features of Mandula mafic samples and many previous researches in the study area, the Early Permian magmatism in Mandula occurred under an extensional rift setting, and a juvenile ocean basin probably had already been formed after further development.

Geochronology, Geochemistry and Tectonic Significance of the Early Carboniferous Gabbro and Diorite Plutons in West Ujimqin, Inner Mongolia

Early Carboniferous gabbros and diorites are distributed in West Ujimqin, Inner Mongolia. The LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb ages of the gabbro and diorite samples are 321± 2 Ma（MSWD=0.65） and 319.4± 1.5 Ma（MSWD=0.42）, respectively. In addition, new geochemistry data from three gabbro and three diorite samples are presented. All six samples show high Al_2O_3 contents but low-TiO_2 contents, belonging to tholeiitic and calc-alkali basalt series. All of the samples have similar chondrite normalized REE patterns characterized by moderate depletion in LREE similar to normal middle oceanic ridge basalt（MORB）. The MORB and PM-normalized trace element patterns show the enrichment in large ion lithophile elements（LILE, e.g., Rb, Ba and Sr）, depletion in high field strength elements（HFSE） and distinctly negative Nb and Ta anomalies similar to volcanic arc basalt. Furthermore, as shown in the correlation plots of La/Ba vs. La/Nb, Ba/La vs. Ce/Pb, Th/La vs. Ce/Pb, Nb/La vs. Ba/Rb, and Nb/Y vs. La/Yb, the magma source has underwent contamination and metasomatism from the subduction fluid. According to the Zr/Nb, La/Nb, and La/Ta ratios and the Nb/Y vs. Zr/Y and Sm/Yb vs. La/Sm diagrams, the magma was derived from shallow depleted lithospheric mantle and formed by moderate（5%~20%） partial melting of spinel lherzolites. Tectonic setting discrimination diagrams reveal that the gabbros and diorites display both characteristics of MORB and volcanic arc basalt, which is consistent with their geochemical characteristics. On the basis of the geochemical features of these samples, combined with regional geological data and many previous researches in the study area, the Early Carboniferous gabbros and diorites of West Ujimqin are suggested to be formed in an intensely extensional rift setting, and a limited immature ocean basin probably formed after subsequent development.

Automatic Identification of Customized Instruction Based on Multiple Attribute Decision-Making for Multi-Issue Architectures

This paper illustrates the importance of the configuration of function units and the change of an application’s critical path when using instruction set extension （ISE） with multi-issue architectures. This paper also presents an automatic identification approach for customized instruction without input/output number constraints for multi-issue architectures. The approach identifies customized instructions using multiple attribute decision-making based on the analysis of several attributes for each candidate node. Tests indicate that the approach achieves higher speedup ratios than previous approaches, as well as less area cost. In addition, this approach provides designers with multiple candidate designs.
