Resistivity and seismic refraction method was conducted on four survey lines with 3 lines running from NW to SE which about parallel to each other and 40 m apart while the fourth line was running from SW to NE. The 2D resistivity survey used minimum electrode spacing of 5 m and the survey used pole-dipole array with minimum current was 2 mA and maximum was 20 mA. The seismic refraction survey used 5 m geophone spacing with offset shot was + 30 m and - 30 m. Resistivity results generally show the area was divided into two main zones, alluvium with resistivity value of 10 - 800 ohm-m, and granite bedrock with resistivity value of > 2500 ohm-m. There is a geological contact between granite and alluvium. The seismic results show the area consists of two layers. The first layer (top layer) with velocity of 460 - 900 m/s which was alluvium mixed with boulders. The second layer with velocity of 2060 - 3140 m/s with depth 71 - 90 MSL. The thickness of the overburden is 5 - 15 m.展开更多
Like many of the tropical islands, the population of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, though not directly, relies predominantly upon rain water harvesting to quench their need and also depends on the groundwater sources. ...Like many of the tropical islands, the population of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, though not directly, relies predominantly upon rain water harvesting to quench their need and also depends on the groundwater sources. In the background of climate change, severity of hydrological cycle is much anticipated which may cause more extreme and unusual precipitation. It is quite essential to have other alternatives. Accordingly, groundwater could be exploited as a potential alternative. The present study intends to find out the potential groundwater source and estimate aquifer parameters in Kodiyaghat (KD) and Burmanallah (BN). As these areas are composed of very hard rock, Wenner-Schlumberger array has been used to carry out a 2D Electrical Resistivity Tomography survey to find out the fracture zone as well as to delineate the aquifer. KD and BN show maximum resistivity of 25,416 Ωm and 5985 Ωm indicate very hard rock terrain. Similarly, the minimum values of resistivity (21.6 Ωm and 30.4 Ωm) were observed at KD and BN define the presence of freshwater aquifers respectively. The aquifer identified was found to be at a depth of 5 m to 19.9 m at KD and 2.5 m to 20 m at BN. The calculated Hydraulic conductivity (14.85 m/day and 30.14 m/day), transmissivity (86.25 m2/day and 271.27 m2/day) and porosity (28.7% and 31.24%) values at KD and BN confirmed that, the located aquifer was of fresh ground water quality and can be utilized for drinking and house hold purposes. According to the results, almost 70% of the study area is hard rock terrain and 30% comes under potential aquifer zone. The results also show that, both the areas were characterized by Horst and Graben topography and suggest possible groundwater sources for future exploration.展开更多

Microstructure, mechanical properties and electrical resistivity were investigated systematically using metallography, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, mechanical and electrical properties testing. The results indicate that an appropriate amount of La can homogenize the distribution of Al_2O_3. As such, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and elongation of Cu-Al_2O_3-La are greatly increased. Some semi-coherent interface between Cu and Al_2O_3 is found, which means a low interface energy. The grain shape of Cu changes to irregular band with the addition of La. This change results in a density decrease of grain boundary and reduces electrical resistance. Lanthanum may exist in the form of La_2O_3.展开更多
