Jiuduansha Shoal originated from the partition of the south part of the Tongsha Shoal as the result of connection of a flood channel and an ebb channel. The embryo of the North Passage was a flood channel, and that of the South Passage was the lower reaches of the former South Channel. There were two basic kinds of change in erosion and accumulation since the formation of Jiuduansha Shoal: continuous change and periodic change. The former includes the broadening of the island area, accretion on the tidal marsh and tidal flat and downstream migration of the island. The latter includes cyclic erosion and accumulation on the two river channel banks of the island and the North and South Passages. The island and the two bifurcated river passages interacted on each other in erosion and accumulation changes. At present, the courses of the North Passage and the South Passage are relatively stable.展开更多

However, the adoption of Cartesian components of velocity vectors in this kind of non-orthogonal coordinates will definitely result in a difficulty in solving implicitly the transformed momentum equations, and also complicate the wet-dry point judgement used for flood areas. To solve this problem, equations in terms of generalized contravariant velocity vectors in curvilinear coordinates are derived in the present study, by virtue of which, an Alternative-Direction-Implicit numerical scheme in non-orthogonal grids would then be easily obtained, and wet-dry point judgement would as well be largely simplified. A comparison is made between the explicit scheme and implicit scheme, showing that the present model is accurate and numerically stable for computations of fluid dynamics for estuarine areas and tidal flats.展开更多

The synchronous increase in magnetite and heavy metal concentration at a depth of 54 cm is revealed, which reflects the anthropogenic input due to the near shore sewage discharge. However, the heavy metal concentration declines at the top of sediment column (4—20 cm) with the reduction of fine magnetite grains, as indicated by the magnetic measurements. It is inferred that selective dissolution of finer magnetite happens under the reduced environment. Such a phenomenon is significant for the heavy metal pollution study in the tidal flat sediments.展开更多

Rhode River catchment (USA) and lsabel Ⅱ reservoir catchment (Spain) were taken as the examples for developing the magnetic diagnosis model. The multi-parameter cluster analysis was used to classify the sediment source with respect to their magnetic properties,multi-variable mixing model to link magnetic measurement of mixtures with their source component proportions, and linear programming to determine the sediment source components. It has been shown by these two experiments that the magnetic diagnosis model is successful for the quantitative sediment source ascription. The results correspond well with the relative environmental change proxy.展开更多

We consider the stable direction recovery in single-index models in which we solely assume the response Y is independent of the diverging dimensional predictors X when βτ 0 X is given, where β 0 is a p n × 1 vector, and p n →∞ as the sample size n →∞. We first explore sufficient conditions under which the least squares estimation β n0 recovers the direction β 0 consistently even when p n = o(√ n). To enhance the model interpretability by excluding irrelevant predictors in regressions, we suggest an e1-regularization algorithm with a quadratic constraint on magnitude of least squares residuals to search for a sparse estimation of β 0 . Not only can the solution β n of e1-regularization recover β 0 consistently, it also produces sufficiently sparse estimators which enable us to select "important" predictors to facilitate the model interpretation while maintaining the prediction accuracy. Further analysis by simulations and an application to the car price data suggest that our proposed estimation procedures have good finite-sample performance and are computationally efficient.展开更多
