The difference between seismic caused by blasting and earthquake has been analyzed and the destructive effect of blasting seismic also been discussed. The typical seismic controlling technology such as choosing explosives reasonably, limitting the charge which blasting at the same time, dispersing charge, using millisecond blasting, selecting reasonable charging structure, excavating damping ditch and using pre-splitting blasting technology has been discussed.

Key concepts and potential applications associated with a phenomenon hitherto unexplored by the geoscience community, which we have named the magneto-seismic effect, are introduced. The method is based on the simple principle that when an electric charge moves in the presence of an external magnetic field, the charge carrier experiences an instantaneous force, which is equal to the vector cross product of the current it carries and the magnetic field that is present. This “Lorentz force” can create both compressional and shear sound waves in electrical conductors by passing an alternating current through them via an electromagnetic source. In laboratory settings, this magneto-seismic effect can produce readily detectable rock frame displacements. This opens up the possibility of developing new experimental methods to interrogate elastic and poroelastic response of rocks in a broad frequency range from subhertz to megahertz, potentially closing the frequency gap between traditional ultrasonic characterization and properties of interest in the seismic frequency band. In exploration settings, electric current dipole/bipole sources, or novel rotating magnetic dipole sources, can be used to generate electric currents at depth. These currents produce seismic waves at interfaces (or boundaries) where conductivity abruptly changes. The amplitude and propagation directions of these generated seismic waves depend on the relative orientation of the interfaces (or boundaries) with respect to the earth's magnetic field. These seismic waves can then be recorded by receivers at the surface and, in principle, might be processed to yield a resistivity map with seismic resolution. It is shown that processing to obtain a signal from deep targets is significantly limited by seismic background noise. However, an acceptable signal-to-noise ratio might be achieved for shallower targets. The difference between the magneto-seismic response and the previously well-studied electro-seismic response will be discussed.

Abstract Variation in the assays of uniform control serum commonly are assumed to represent day-to-day analytical variation. To test this assumption, we compared the differences between results of serum aliquots assayed immediately for 12 constituents and frozen aliquots accumulated and assayed on a single day with the results of control serum variation from the same period. One aliquot of each weekly sample was stored frozen. Eleven subjects were sampled for 12 weeks. Storage at --20 degrees C for 15 weeks had a mild destructive effect on two enzymes in serum. The control serum data revealed significant linear trends in magnesium (upwards) and alkaline phosphatase (downwards) that substantially increased the respective variances. In the other 10 constituents tested, comparison of variances indicated that long-term (weeks) variation in control serum assays is similar to the difference of variation between aliquots assayed immediately and those frozen and assayed at the same time. For these constituents, this finding justifies the use of control serum to estimate long term analytical variation.

This article rejects the received view that Post-Truth is a new, unprecedented political phenomenon. By showing that Truth and Post-Truth share the same genesis, this article will submit the idea of a Consensus Theory of Post-Truth. Part 1 looks at the difference between Post-Truth, lies and bullshit. Part 2 suggests reasons behind the current preoccupation with Post-Truth. Part 3 focuses on Habermas’s influential consensus theory of truth to suggest that truth and Post-Truth have more in common than is generally assumed. Part 4 puts forward the Consensus Theory of Post-Truth. Part 5 suggests three ways to emasculate the potentially destructive effect of Post-Truth on democratic society.

A radius of curvature 20 times greater than the deck width of the bridge (R≥20b) is required as a specification in the regular bridge simplification conditions of the seismic response of curved girder bridges. Selecting benchmark bridges and employing parameter analysis method, this article studies on the effect of R/B value of the curved girder bridge on the response ratio of the seismic response calculated using the finite element model and that using a regular girder bridge. This study shows that on conditions that the deck width of the bridge is constant, the smaller the radius of curvature and the larger the B/R value (i.e., the smaller the R/B value) of the curved girder bridge are, the greater the difference between the seismic response of the curved girder bridge and the result calculated with a regular girder bridge is, and the difference is more significant under traverse seismic effect than that of longitudinal seismic effect. On conditions that the radius of curvature is constant, the impact of the change of B/R value due to the deck width change of the bridge on the difference between the seismic response of the curved girder bridge and the result calculated with a regular girder bridge is insignificant. Compared with the deck width of the bridge, the difference between the seismic response of the curved girder bridge and the result calculated with a regular girder bridge is more sensitive to the radius of curvature.

The “secondary suspended river” poses a huge threat to the safety of embankment in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. The formation of the “secondary suspended river” is mainly attributed to the “less water and more sediment, inconsistent water-sediment relationship” of the Yellow River. Through the analysis of the relationship between the evolution of the lower reaches of the Yellow River and the loss caused by disasters and flood and magnitude of sediment concentration, this paper thinks that the Yellow River must pay attention to the graded regulation of water and sediment. For small and medium-sized flood with small sediment concentration, according to the flood magnitude and the reservoir water volume in the upper and middle reaches, Impoundment and filling water to build the peak time at the right time is necessary and the flood processes which are less than 2600 m3/s should be avoided in the scheduling process. Based on the shape of river channel of high flow flood in floodplain and average flow flood in floodplain, and the difference between the sediment transport efficiency of flood and the difference between the loss to the lower floodplain area, the average flow flood in floodplain which is between 6000 m3/s should be avoided in the scheduling process as far as possible. In order to relieve the development trend of the “secondary suspended river”, the regulation of “brushing groove of silt beach” should be insisted on for large flood. But the high sediment concentration flood should be avoided because of its serious destructive effect on the lower reach. At the same time, it also calls for strengthening the research and popularization of reservoir sediment treatment and sediment resource utilization technology.

Abstract Increasing the mining depth at Praid Saline and implicitly the state of stresses and strains determines an increase in the dimensions of resistance structures (pillars and ceilings). Furthermore, the seismic effect generated by the detonation of explosives contributes to the degradation of resistance structures. In order to reduce the destructive effect of drilling-blasting technology a proposal is made for the implementation of mechanized salt cutting technology which makes use of a roadheader. This article emphasizes the technical-economical implementation advantages of exploitation from the lower horizons of the New Sector, those of mechanized mining with a roadheader as opposed to the classical technology of drilling-blasting.

The difference between average densities of the Moon and Earth was interpreted in the preceding report by Professor H. Urey as indicating a difference in their chemical composition. Therefore, Urey assumes the Moon's formation to have taken place far away from the Earth, under conditions differing substantially from the conditions of Earth's formation. In such a case, the Earth should have captured the Moon. As is admitted by Professor Urey himself, such a capture is a very improbable event. In addition, an assumption that the “lunar” dimensions were representative of protoplanetary bodies in the entire solar system encounters great difficulties.

AbstractThe oldest cell-like structures on Earth are preserved in silicified lagoonal, shallow sea or hydrothermal sediments, such as some Archean formations in Western Australia and South Africa. Previous studies concentrated on the search for organic fossils in Archean rocks. Observations of silicified bacteria (as silica minerals) are scarce for both the Precambrian and the Phanerozoic, but reports of mineral bacteria finds, in general, are increasing. The problems associated with the identification of authentic fossil bacteria and, if possible, closer identification of bacteria type can, in part, be overcome by experimental fossilisation studies. These have shown that not all bacteria fossilise in the same way and, indeed, some seem to be very resistent to fossilisation. This paper deals with a transmission electron microscope investigation of the silicification of four species of bacteria commonly found in the environment. The Gram positiveBacillus laterosporusand its spore produced a robust, durable crust upon silicification, whereas the Gram negativePseudomonas fluorescens, Ps. vesicularis, andPs. acidovoranspresented delicately preserved walls. The greater amount of peptidoglycan, containing abundant metal cation binding sites, in the cell wall of the Gram positive bacterium, probably accounts for the difference in the mode of fossilisation. The Gram positive bacteria are, therefore, probably most likely to be preserved in the terrestrial and extraterrestrial rock record.

AbstractThe interrelationship of half-widths and intensities for the red, green and yellow lines is considered. This is a direct relationship for the green and yellow line and an inverse one for the red line. The difference in the relationships of half-widths and intensities for different lines appears to be due to substantially dissimilar structuring and to a set of line-of-sight motions in ”hot“ and ”cold“ corona regions.When diagnosing the coronal plasma, one cannot neglect the filling factor - each line has such a factor of its own.

Although difference Fourier techniques are standard in X-ray crystallography it has only been very recently that electron crystallographers have been able to take advantage of this method. We have combined a high resolution data set for frozen glucose embedded Purple Membrane (PM) with a data set collected from PM prepared in the frozen hydrated state in order to visualize any differences in structure due to the different methods of preparation. The increased contrast between protein-ice versus protein-glucose may prove to be an advantage of the frozen hydrated technique for visualizing those parts of bacteriorhodopsin that are embedded in glucose. In addition, surface groups of the protein may be disordered in glucose and ordered in the frozen state. The sensitivity of the difference Fourier technique to small changes in structure provides an ideal method for testing this hypothesis.
