Characteristics of gravity and magnetic fields and deep structural responses in the southern part of the Kyushu-Palau Ridge

The southern part of the Kyushu-Palau Ridge(KPR)is located at the conjunction of the West Philippine Basin,the Parece Vela Basin,the Palau Basin,and the Caroline Basin.This area has extremely complex structures and is critical for the research on the tectonic evolution of marginal seas in the Western Pacific Ocean.However,only few studies have been completed on the southern part,and the geophysical fields and deep structures in this part are not well understood.Given this,this study finely depicts the characteristics of the gravity and magnetic anomalies and extracts information on deep structures in the southern part of the KPR based on the gravity and magnetic data obtained from the 11th expedition of the deep-sea geological survey of the Western Pacific Ocean conducted by the Guangzhou Marine Geological Survey,China Geological Survey using the R/V Haiyangdizhi 6.Furthermore,with the data collected on the water depth,sediment thickness,and multichannel seismic transects as constraints,a 3D density model and Moho depths of the study area were obtained using 3D density inversion.The results are as follows.(1)The gravity and magnetic anomalies in the study area show distinct zoning and segmentation.In detail,the gravity and magnetic anomalies to the south of 11°N of the KPR transition from high-amplitude continuous linear positive anomalies into low-amplitude intermittent linear positive anomalies.In contrast,the gravity and magnetic anomalies to the north of 11°N of the KPR are discontinuous and show alternating positive and negative anomalies.These anomalies can be divided into four sections,of which the separation points correspond well to the locations of deep faults,thus,revealing different field-source attributes and tectonic genesis of the KPR.(2)The Moho depth in the basins in the study area is 6-12 km.The Moho depth in the southern part of KPR show segmentation.Specifically,the depth is 10‒12 km to the north of 11°N,12‒14 km from 9.5°N to 11°N,14-16 km from 8.5°N to 9.5°N,and 16‒25 km in the Palau Islands.(3)The KPR is a remnant intra-oceanic arc with the oceanic-crust basement.which shows noticeably discontinuous from north to south in geological structure and is intersected by NEE-trending lithospheric-scale deep faults.With large and deep faults F3 and F1(the Mindanao fault)as boundaries overall,the southern part of the KPR can be divided into three zones.In detail,the portion to the south of 8.5°N(F3)is a tectonically active zone,the KPR portion between 8.5°N and 11°N is a tectonically active transition zone,and the portion to the north of 11°N is a tectonically inactive zone.(4)The oceanic crust in the KPR is slightly thicker than that in the basins on both sides of the ridge,and it is inferred that the KPR formed from the thickening of the oceanic crust induced by the upwelling of deep magma in the process of rifting of remnant arcs during the Middle Oligocene.In addition,it is inferred that the thick oceanic crust under the Palau Islands is related to the constant upwelling of deep magma induced by the continuous northwestward subduction of the Caroline Plate toward the Palau Trench since the Late Oligocene.This study provides a scientific basis for systematically understanding the crustal attributes,deep structures,and evolution of the KPR.

RC-Circuit-Like Dynamic Characteristic of the Magnetic Domain Wall in Flat Ferromagnetic Nanowires

We investigate the dynamic behavior of the magnetic domain wall under perpendicular magnetic field pulses in fiat ferromagnetic nanowires using micromagnetic simulations. It is found that the perpendicular magnetic field pulse can trigger the magnetic domain wall motion, where all the field torques axe kept on the plane of nanowire strip. The speed of magnetic domain walls faster than several hundreds of meters per second is predicted without the Walker breakdown for the perpendicular magnetic driving field stronger than 200mT. Interestingly, the dynamic behavior of the moving magnetic domain wall driven by perpendicular magnetic field pulses is explained by charging- and discharging-like behaviors of an electrical RC-circuit model, where the charging and the discharging of magnetic charges on the nanowire planes are considered. The concept of the RC-model-like dynamic characteristic of the magnetic domain wall might be promising for the applications in spintronic functional devices based on the magnetic domain wall motion.

Analysis of the Self-Protection Characteristics of a 1.5T Bitter-Like HTS Magnet Operated at 65K

We present a conceptual configuration of a high-temperature superconducting（HTS）magnet made from REBCO（Re=Rare Earth,B=Barium,C=Copper,O=Oxide）annular plates,called a Bitter-like HTS magnet,which can operate in persistent current mode without joint resistance and can be excited by a flux pump and without current leads and a persistent power supply.An REBCO annular magnet which can generate 1.5 T corresponding to the operating current density 80%of critical current density of the magnet at an operating temperature of65 K is conceptually designed.Then the thermal stability of the magnet is numerically simulated by Comsol software.Whein a piece of RBCO annular plate quenches,the maximum released energy is its stored energy because each REBCO annular plate in the Bitter-like magnet is in parallel.To calculate the stored energy in the REBCO annular plate,the inductance of every annular plate,including self-inductance and mutual inductance,is calculated.Compared with the minimum quench energy（MQE）and stored energy in one REBCO annular plate,the stored energy in one REBCO annular plate is always smaller than the MQE,and the REBCO annular plate will not be damaged even though the stored energy in the REBCO annular plate is fully released,which indicates that this 1.5 T Bitter-like magnet has the property of self-protection.

Numerical simulation on magnetic confinement characteristics of internal vortex electrostatic cyclone precipitator under different working voltages

Aiming at improving the capture performance of internal vortex electrostatic cyclone precipitator(ECP),a theoretical model with mechanics-electric-magnetic coupling was established,the collection efficiency of magnetic confinement ECP under different working voltages was simulated,and the influence of magnetic flux intensity on the removal performance of submicron particles was explored.Results show that the number of particles escaped from the cyclone is greatly reduced after the introduction of magnetic field and electric field,indicating that charging effect and magnetic confinement are more conductive to trap submicron particles in the internal vortex ECP.The lower the working voltage is,the worse the charging lifting effect is,but the stronger the magnetic confinement characteristics are.Furthermore,the contributions of charging effect to collection efficiency and magnetic confinement characteristics are more obvious at a weaker magnetic flux density.The research results can provide a practical new idea for the innovative design of ECP.

Characteristics of motorized spindle supported by active magnetic bearings

A motorized spindle supported by active magnetic bearings（AMBs） is generally used for ultra-high-speed machining. Iron loss of radial AMB is very great owing to high rotation speed, and it will cause severe thermal deformation. The problem is particularly serious on the occasion of large power application, such as all electric aero-engine. In this study, a prototype motorized spindle supported by five degree-of-freedom AMBs is developed. Homopolar and heteropolar AMBs are independently adopted as radial bearings. The influences of the two types of radial AMBs on the dynamic characteristics of the motorized spindle are comparatively investigated by theoretical analysis, test modal analysis and actual operation of the system. The iron loss of the two types of radial AMBs is analyzed by finite element software and verified through run-down experiments of the system. The results show that the structures of AMB have less influence on the dynamic characteristics of the motorized spindle. However, the homopolar structure can effectively reduce the iron loss of the radial AMB and it is useful for improving the overall performance of the motorized spindle.

Gender and magnetic resonance imaging classification-related differences in clinical and biochemical characteristics of Cushing＇s disease： a single-centre study

Background Cushing＇s disease （CD） presents a remarkable preponderance in female gender,and a significant minority of patients with CD presented with negative magnetic resonance imaging （MRI） findings.The aim of this study was to evaluate gender-related and MRI classification-related differences in clinical and biochemical characteristics of CD.Methods We retrospectively studied 169 patients with CD,comprising 132 females and 37 males,and 33 patients had no visible adenoma on MRI.Results We observed that male and MRI-positive patients presented with high adrenocorticotropic hormone （ACTH） values （P ＜0.05）.Female patients presented with higher prevalence of hirsutism and hyperpigmentation and lower prevalence of purple striae （P ＜0.05）.The prevalence of buffalo-hump and hypertension was greater in MRI-negative patients （P ＜0.05）.In addition,male patients with CD presented at a younger age compared with females （P ＜0.05）.Patients with fatigue and hypokalaemia presented significantly higher urinary-free cortisol,ACTH and cortisol levels compared with patients without these symptoms （P ＜0.05）.The prevalence of LH reduction,hyper total cholesterol （TC） and hyper low-density lipoprotein was more frequent in MRI-positive patients （P ＜0.05）.Hyper-TC levels and PRL reduction were more frequent in males （P ＜0.05）.T3,T4 and FT3 levels negatively correlated with age at diagnosis （r=-0.310,P ＜0.01; r=-0.191,P ＜0.05; r＝-0.216,P ＜0.05）.T3,T4,FT3 and FT4 levels significantly negatively correlated with 8-am plasma cortisol levels （r=-0.328,P ＜0.01; r=-0.195,P ＜0.05; r=-0.333,P ＜0.01; r＝-0.180,P ＜0.05）.Females presented higher total protein level （P ＜0.01） and lower blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine levels （P ＜0.01）,compared with male patients.Conclusions Carefulness and caution are required in all patients with CD,because of the complexity of clinical and biochemical characteristics in CD patients of different gender and MRI classification,particularly male patients and MRI-negative patients.

Sources of sediment in tidal flats off Zhejiang coast,southeast China

The growth of tidal flats off Zhejiang coasts in southwestern China has provided substantial areas for local agriculture and construction activities.To evaluate modern and future development of tidal flats in the region,a good understanding of sediment sources is necessary.Previous research has concluded that the Changjiang(Yangtze)River is the dominant supplier of sediments to this part of the southeast Chinese coast,despite the fact that sediment delivery from this source has been decreased markedly in the past two decades.In this study,we investigated the sources of tidal flat sediments,and the magnetic and geochemical properties of recent tidal flat sediments along the Zhejiang coast were compared with those discharged from rivers.Magnetic and geochemical properties of the tidal flat samples reveal statistically distinct sediment provenance groups.The magnetic and geochemical scatter plots show that the suspended sediment samples are naturally divided into two different groups,one including the Changjiang River and Qiantang River material,and the other including the Jiaojiang,Oujiang,and Feiyun Rivers that located in the central and southern parts of the study areas.At last,a binary source of tidal flat sediments along the Zhejiang coast was determined,with the substantial majority originating from local rivers,while a much smaller proportion emanates from the Changjiang River to the north.We conclude that the sediment contribution of the Changjiang River to tidal flat development in the region has been markedly overestimated,with important implications for management.

CHARACTERISTIC CURVES OF M-H AND COEXISTENCE OF MAGNETISM WITH SUPERCONDUCTIVITY FOR HIGH T_c SUPERCONDUCTORS REBa_2Cu_3OT_(7-x)

Some high T_c superconductors REBa_2Cu_3O_(7-x)(RE=Sm,Eu,Gd,Dy,Ho,Er,Tm) with zero resist- ance temperatures were about 90K have been prepared.The effect of magnetic rare earth ions on the transi- tion temperatures is not very great,but their magnetic behaviours are different from each other.The magnetization loops of these compounds have been measured at 77K.The coexistence of superconductivity with magnetic ordering (COSM) found in the samples with RE=Gd,Dy,Ho,Er,Tm,indicates that there are two possible ways of coexistence in the samples.These expertments show that the relation of paramagnetism to the atomtc number of rare earth elements for these superconductors is similar to that of rare earth ions in some paramagnetic salt crystals,which indicates that the magnetism of the samples origi- nates from the local magnetic moments of rare earth ions.In some samples there is antiferromagnetie ordering at low temperatures,and the effective Bohr magneton numbers are consistent with that of free rare earth ions. Some superconducting parameters including the critical current density are calculated according to Ginzburg-Landau theory and the critical state model.
