(40)~Ar-(39)~Ar geochronological data from the Hengshan complex suggest that two episodes of crustal cooling/extension took place in this part of the continent during the Cretaceous time. The first stage of exhumation was active during ca. 136-125 Ma, with a cooling rate of 〉 10 ℃Ma. The second stage of exhumation happened at ca. 98-93 Ma, with a cooling rate of 〉 10 ℃/Ma. Considering the folding in the Lower Cretaceous sedimentary rocks and the regional unconformity underneath the Upper Cretaceous red beds, it is believed that the Cretaceous crustal extension in SE China was interrupted by a compressional event. The reversion to extension, shortly after this middle Cretaceous compression, led to the rapid cooling/exhumation of the Hengshan complex at ca. 98-93 Ma. The Cretaceous tectonic processes in the hinterland of SE China could be controlled by interactions between the continental margin and the Paleo-pacific plate.展开更多

How to choose the parameters of the SCM and SE algorithms is discussed. The results show that the complexity of the multi-wing chaotic system does not increase as the number of wings increases, and it is consistent with the results of the Grassberger-Procaccia (GP) algorithm and the largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE) of the multi-wing chaotic system.展开更多

Sphere Detector (SD) is favoured in MIMO detection to achieve Maximum-Likelihood (ML) performance. In this paper, we proposed a new SD method for MIMO-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems based on IEEE802.11n, which uses Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) in complex domain to reduce the computation complexity. Furthermore, a new Schnorr-Euchner (SE) enumeration algorithm is also discussed in detail. The computer simulation result shows that the computational complexity and the number of visited nodes can be reduced significantly compared with conventional SD detectors with the same Bit Error Rate (BER) performance.展开更多

Soil organic matter content increased when upland soil was puddled and cropped under submerged conditions. Among all treatments, soil organic matter contents in the treatments of rice-rice-flooded fallow in winter (WF) were the highest, those in the treatments of rice-rice-astragalus (WG) came the second, and those in the treatments of rice-rice-rape (WR)were the lowest. At the same rate of green manure application, the degrees of organo-mineral complexing in soils of treatments WG and WR were higher than those of treatment WF. After 9-year rice cultivation, the state of combination of humus in heavy fraction varied with treatments. The relative content of loosely bonded humus decreased in the order of WR > WG > WF, and it correlated significantly with Se availability.展开更多
