The topography of the inner core is crucial to understand its growth process and interaction with the geodynamo. With the accuracy of teleseismic waveform doublets in determining the travel-time shifts between PKPcd and PKPdf inner-core phases, we examined the temporal change of the inner-core boundary sampled by new earthquake doublets that occurred in the Western Pacific and those previously found from the South Sandwich Islands. The receiver stations are those within the distance range of 128°–142° from the hypocenters of the waveform doublets. Our results suggest that temporal changes in PKPcd-PKPdf differential times are very subtle except some isolated regions under central America and Africa. The observations may indicate localized topography of the inner core and/or the inner-core boundary as transient slurry in isolated regions.

摘 要 在英国由封建社会向近代资本主义社会转型过程中,受圈地运动、宗教改革、价格革命等多因素影响,农业生产方式发生变革,贫困人口大量涌现,教会救济渠道已无法保证贫民生存所需,迫切需要政府介入。为维护社会秩序稳定,有效地解决贫民救济问题,都铎王朝时期的英国政府陆续颁布了一系列法令,从惩戒济贫为主转向帮扶救济为主。到1601年,第一次以国家立法形式介入贫困救济的《伊丽莎白济贫法》出台,都铎时期的英国政
