Transport properties of a binary mixture of CO_2-N_2 from the pair potential energy functions based on a semi-empirical inversion method

The potential energy snrface of a CO2-N2 mixture is determined by using an inversion method, together with a new collision integral correlation [J. Phys. Chem. R@ Data 19 1179 （1990）]. With the new invert potential, the transport properties of CO2-N2 mixture are presented in a temperature range front 273.15 K to 3273.15 K at low density by employing the Chapman-Enskog scheme and the Wang Chang-Uhlenbeck de Boer theory, consisting of a viscosity coefficient, a thermal conductivity coefficient, a binary diffusion coefficient, and a thermal diffusion factor. The accuracy of the predicted results is estimated to be 2% for viscosity, 5% for thermal conductivity, and 10% for binary diffusion coefficient.

2-D crustal structure of Changbaishan-Tianchi volcanic region determined by seismic traveltime inversion

2-D velocity structure and tectonics of the crust and upper mantle is revealed by inversion of seismic refraction and wide-angle reflection traveltimes acquired along the profile L1 in the Changbaishan-Tianchi volcanic region. It is used in this study that seismic traveltime inversion for simultaneous determination of 2-D velocity and interface structure of the crust and upper mantle. The result shows that, under Changbaishan-Tianchi crater, there exists a low-velocity body in the shape of an inverted triangle, and the crustal reflecting boundaries and Moho all become lower by a varying margin of 2-6 km, forming a crustal root which is assumed to be the Changbaishan-Tianchi volcanic system. Finally, we make a comparison between our 2-D velocity model and the result from the studies by using trial-and-error forward modeling with SEIS83.

A Two-step Inverse Method for Quantitative Damage Evaluation of Plate-like Structures Using Vibration Approach

This study presents a novel two-step approach to assess plate-like structural laminar damages,particularly for delamination damage detection of composite structures.Firstly,a 2-D continuous wavelet transform is employed to identify the damage location and sizes from vibration curvature data.An inverse method is subsequently then used to determine the bending stiffness reduction ratio along a specified direction,enabling the quantification of the delamination severity.The method employed in this study is an extension of the one-dimensional inverse method developed in a previous work of the authors.The applicability of the two-step inverse approach is demonstrated in a simulation analysis and by an experimental study on a cantilever composite plate containing a single delamination.The inverse method is shown to have the capacity to reveal the detailed damage information of delamination within a constrained searching space and can be used to determine the effective flexural stiffness of composite plate structures,even in cases of complex delamination damage.

Interannual variability of carbon cycle implied by a 2-D atmospheric transport model

A 2-dimensional atmospheric transport model is deployed in a simplified CO 2 inverse study. Calculated carbon flux distribution for the interval from 1981 to 1997 confirms the existence of a terrestrial carbon sink in mid-high latitude area of North Hemisphere. Strong interannual variability exists in carbon flux patterns, implying a possible link with ENSO and other natural episodes such as Pinatubo volcano eruption in 1991. Mechanism of this possible link was investigated with statistic method. Correlation analysis indicated that in North Hemisphere, climatic factors such as temperature and precipitation, to some extend, could influence the carbon cycle process of land and ocean, thus cause considerable change in carbon flux distribution. In addition, correlation study also demonstrated the possible important role of Asian terrestrial ecosystems in carbon cycle.

Description of N=7～9 Isotones with a Modified Single-Particle Potential

We study the level structures of N = 7 - 9 isotones and their mirror nuclei in the framework of the single-particle potential model. Considering the limitation of the conventional potential-model calculation, the isospindependent 12 coupling is newly introduced in the average potential. The modified model gives a unified description for the structures of all studied nuclei. Galculations self-consistently produce the s-d level inversion in N = 9 isotones and their mirror nuclei. Meanwhile, the s-p level inversion in the mirror nuclei ^11Be and ^11N is reproduced. The study confirms the neutron halo structures in ^11Be（2s1/2）, ^11Be（1p1/2）, ^12B（2s1/2）, ^14B（2s1/2）, ^13C（2sl/2）, ^15C（2s1/2） and the proton halo structure in ^17F（2s1/2）. The agreement between theory and experiment indicates that the inclusion of the i2 coupling is a feasible way to explain the abnormal structures of exotic light nuclei.

POTENTIAL INVERSION PROBLEMS FOR COUPLED SYSTEM OF DOWNGOING AND UPCOMING ONE-WAY WAVE EQUATIONS

By using wave splitting method the formulation of the two-dimensional potential inversion problem is set up in terms of the coupled system for downgoing and upcoming wavefields. The boundary counditions on the characteristic surface needed for solving the problem are derived by singularity analysis. Two stability theorems are given for the direct problems of the system treated as Cauchy problems in the direction of depth.

LAYER STRIPPING METHOD FOR POTENTIAL INVERSION

To solve the potential inversion problem of the coupled system for one-way wave equations, the absorbing boundary conditions in the lateral direction are derived. The difference schemes are constructed and a layer stripping method is proposed. Some numerical experiments are presented.

Temperature Sensitivity of Soil Respiration Probed by Numerical Analysis of Field-Observed Data Sets

Temperature sensitivity of soil respiration is essential to predict possible changes in terrestrial carbon budget on various scenarios about atmospheric and soil climates. Although it is often evaluated by using respiratory quotient “Q10”, Q10 values of soil respiration seem to vary depending on methods or scales of evaluation. Aiming at probing how Q10 values of soil respiration are evaluated differently for a field, this study used a model of soil respiration rate, and numerically evaluated soil respiration rates along depth by fitting the model to depth distributions of CO2 concentration measured in a field. And temperature sensitivity of soil respiration rate was evaluated by comparing the determined soil respiration rates with atmospheric and soil temperatures measured in the field. The results showed that the relation between surface CO2 emission rates and atmospheric temperatures was represented by lower Q10 values than that between soil respiration rates and soil temperatures, presumably because the top soil layers had acclimatized in more extent to the existing thermal regime than the underlying deeper layers. Thus, for evaluating effects of long-term rise in atmospheric temperature on soil respiration, it is necessary to precisely predict the long-term change in depth distribution of soil temperature as well as to quantify temperature sensitivity of soil respiration along depth. The evaluated sensitivity of surface CO2 emission rate to atmospheric temperature showed hysteresis, implying the needs for more knowledge about temperature sensitivity of soil respiration evaluated in both warming and cooling processes for better understandings and predictions about terrestrial carbon cycling.
