Documentation, profile descriptions and analytical results of loes profiles from Bavaria, southern Germany

This study investigates the landscape evolution and soil development in the loess area near Regensburg between approximately 6000-2000 yr BP (radiocarbon years), Eastern Bavaria. The focus is on the question how man and climate influenced landscape evolution and what their relative significance was. The theoretical background concerning the factors that controlled prehistoric soil erosion in Middle Europe is summarized with respect to rainfall intensity and distribution, pedogenesis, Pleistocene relief, and prehistoric farming. Colluvial deposits , flood loams, and soils were studied at ten different and representative sites that served as archives of their respective palaeoenvironments. Geomorphological, sedimentological, and pedological methods were applied. According to the findings presented here, there was a high asynchronity of landscape evolution in the investigation area, which was due to prehistoric land-use patterns. Prehistoric land use and settlement caused highly difIerenciated phases of morphodynamic activity and stability in time and space. These are documented at the single catenas ofeach site. In general, Pleistocene relief was substantially lowered. At the same time smaller landforms such as dells and minor asymmetric valleys filled up and strongly transformed. However, there were short phases at many sites, forming short lived linear erosion features ('Runsen'), resulting from exceptional rainfalls. These forms are results of single events without showing regional trends. Generally, the onset of the sedimentation of colluvial deposits took place much earlier (usually 3500 yr BP (radiocarbon) and younger) than the formation of flood loams. Thus, the deposition of flood loams in the Kleine Laaber river valley started mainly as a consequence of iron age farming only at around 2500 yr BP (radiocarbon). A cascade system explains the different ages of colluvial deposits and flood loams: as a result of prehistoric land use, dells and other minor Pleistocene landforms were filled with colluvial sediments. After the filling of these primary sediment traps , eroded material was transported into flood plains, thus forming flood loams. But at the moment we cannot quantify the extent ofprehistoric soil erosion in the investigation area. The three factors that controlled the prehistoric Iandscapc evolution in the Ioess area near Regensburg are as follows: 1. The transformation from a natural to a prehistoric cultural landscape was the most important factor: A landscape with stable relief was changed into a highly morphodynamic one with soil erosion as the dominant process of this change. 2. The sediment traps of the pre-anthropogenic relief determined where the material originated from soil erosion was deposited: either sedimentation took place on the slopes or the filled sediment traps of the slopes rendered flood loam formation possible. Climatic influence of any importance can only be documented as the result of land use in connection with singular and/or statistic events of heavy rainfalls. Without human impact, no significant change in the Holocene landscape would have been possible.

Experiments on the production of a highly dispersible calcium carbonate. ('Experimental section' only) [Translation from: Szklo i Ceramiki 30, 133-136, 1979]

This short translation summarises experiments on the production of a highly dispersible precipitate of calcium carbonate. The translation covers the 'Experimental section' (of the original larger paper) only.

133-W pulsed fiber amplifier with large-mode-area fiber

A master-oscillator fiber power amplifier (MOPA) system with a 4-m-long Yb3+-doped homemade large mode area (LMA) double-clad fiber is reported. The system emits up to 133.8 W of amplified radiation at a wavelength of 1064 nm and a repetition rate of 100 kHz, limited only by the available pump power. Peak power of 300 kW at 20 kHz with a pulse duration of 15 ns is obtained. (c) 2006 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

47 MeV/u ~(12)C与~(133)Cs反应中碘同位素产生截面的Q_(gg)依赖关系

用47 MeV/u 12C离子轰击133Cs靶,应用放射化学分离技术和离线γ射线谱学,得到碘同位素的产生截面。丰中子碘同位素的独立产生截面指数地依赖于Qgg值,而缺中子碘同位素的独立产生截面则偏离这一直线关系。这一事实可对在深部非弹转移过程中产生丰中子碘同位素予以解释。

~(12)C与~(133)Cs反应中Ba同位素的Q_(gg)产额依赖

使用47MeV/u12C离子轰击133Cs靶,由多核子转移反应产生Ba同位素。使用放射化学方法,从133Cs和反应产物中分离出产物Ba,再使用高纯Ge探测器测量Ba放射性同位素的γ活性,根据Ba同位素的活度和其他相关数据,确定Ba同位素的产生截面。通过分析测得的Ba同位素的厚靶平均产生截面,发现缺中子Ba同位素的独立截面不遵从规则的Qgg系统性。该结果可用重离子碰撞中的次级过程加以解释。

~(133)Sm和~(149)Yb的β缓发质子衰变

利用40Ca+96Ru融合蒸发反应产生了近质子滴线核133Sm,配合氦喷嘴带传输系统采用“质子-γ”符合方法观测了它们的β缓发质子衰变,其中包括半衰期、质子能谱、第二代子核低位态之间的γ跃迁,并估计出衰变到第二代子核不同低位态的分支比．通过统计理论拟合上述实验数据,指认了133Sm的自旋宇称的可能范围．并用Woods-Saxon Strutinsky方法计算了限制组态的133Sm的核势能面,通过对比发现133Sm的自旋宇称可能有两种成分:5／2+和1／2-．这一结果与2001年发表的133Sm(EC+β+)衰变的简单衰变纲图是相容的．此外用同一方法分析了2001年Eur．Phys．J．A12: 1-4中发表的有关149Yb的β缓发质子衰变实验数据,由此指认了149Yb的基态自旋宇称为1／2-．
