Holocene development and anthropogenic disturbance of a shallow lake system in Central Ireland recorded by diatoms

Three cores from two connected lakes in Central Ireland (Lough Kinale and Derragh Lough) were investigated using diatom analysis to establish the Holocene development of the lacustrine system, any local variations within the lakes and any anthropogenic influences. The study area was situated in a lowland location and the lakes were shallow, unstratified and interconnected. Litho-and bio-stratigraphical analyses of the lake cores and deposits beneath a mire separating the two lakes showed the changing spatial configuration of the lake system in the early Holocene and the separation of the initial lake into three basins (cf. lacustrine cells) and finally into two interlinked lakes. The evolution of the lake system is conceptualised as the development of distinct lacustrine cells, and its sediments have recorded changes in the physical (geography, depth and sedimentation) and chemical (water chemistry) properties of the lakes inferred through diatom analyses. The longest sequence, from the early Holocene, records fluctuating lake levels and these are correlated with geomorphological mapping and surveying of palaeoshorelines. The diatom assemblages of the upper 2 m of the three cores, covering approximately the last 2000–3000 radiocarbon years show considerable difference in trophic status and life-form categories. This is related to the location of the cores in the lake and also the distance from human settlement with particular reference to proximity to crannog (artificial island) construction and use. The most central core from the deepest part of Lough Kinale has the least representation of the human settlement and agricultural activity in the catchment and on the fringes of the lake, whereas the core taken from the edge of a crannog is able to identify when construction and use of the crannog occurred. The local nature of the palaeoecological response to human activity due to incomplete water mixing has the advantage of allowing the lake sediment cores to be used to determine spatially discrete settlement patterns.     

城市边缘区乡村旅游化效应及其意义——以山东日照王家皂村为例

城市发展空间外拓对其边缘区乡村影响较大,旅游化是乡村发展过程中有别于工业化的一种形式.在对山东省日照市王家皂村农户问卷调研所得数据基础上对旅游化的效应进行评价,得出:旅游化使得村民旅游经济收入得以迅速增加;村民就业结构发生较大变化,农村劳动力向单部门经济转移;村民旅游参与意识增强,对旅游经济前景普遍看好;生活环境与质量发生改变,社区问题开始显现;正、负旅游示范效应影响并存,社区社会生态平衡面临挑战等结论,并对旅游化效应的社会意义进行了探讨.     

印度洋偶极子对大气环流和气候的影响

赤道印度洋SST的分析研究证实了偶极子型振荡的存在，它在9-11月较强而在1-4月较弱。若以海温西高东低为偶极子振荡正位相，以海温东高西低为负位相，则一般是正位相时振荡要强于负位相。印度洋偶极子也存在年际（主要周期为4－5年）和年代际（主要周期为25-30年）变化。分析研究表明，印度洋偶极子对亚洲季风活动有明显影响，因为亚洲地区对流层低层的风场，南亚高压和西太平洋副高强度都与印度洋偶极子有关。另外，印度洋偶极子还对北美和南印度洋（包括澳大利亚和南美）地区的大气环流和气流有影响。     

气象条件对小麦中量元素和微量元素含量的可能影响

该文通过试验研究了气象条件 (CO₂浓度、温度、土壤湿度) 变化对小麦叶片、茎、籽粒中量元素 (Mg、Ca、S) 和微量元素 (Zn、Fe) 含量及产量的影响。结果表明:高CO₂浓度、土壤干旱胁迫对这5种元素含量积累有利; 高CO₂浓度伴随高温缩短了小麦生育期, 使籽粒产量明显下降, 综合中量元素和微量元素含量的有利影响和产量的不利影响, 要想获得正常气象条件下等量的5种元素, 小麦的供给量将会是短缺的。

Conceptualising State‐Controlled Resort Islands for an Environment‐Friendly Development of Tourism: The Maldivian Experience

The Maldives host a sophisticated and competitive international tourist industry which has replaced fishing as the dominant economic activity. With their rich tropical reef ecosystems and the abundant biodiversity of their marine environment, a total of 86 uninhabited islands had been converted into Resort Islands by the end of 2000. Resort Islands are equipped with comprehensive facilities for accommodation, food, recreation and leisure. They are also strictly reserved for foreign tourists and guarantee complete privacy. This gives the benefit of averting conflicts of acculturation with local islanders. In the arena of impacts on the physical environment, however, the consumptive leisure lifestyle of the tourists has been harmful to the Resort Islands as seen in sewage, garbage and waste pollution, as well as reef destruction and beach erosion. While the government of the Maldives takes great effort to harmonise tourism and the environment, the growth of mass tourism in the last 20 years has engendered grave environmental impacts. For future sustainable development of the Resort Islands, the tourists' environmental awareness must be increased to promote greater responsibility for the protection of the fragile coral and reef ecosystems of the Maldives.     

地质环境对建筑物的影响

在建筑物附近，尤其在故河道边缘地带大幅度开采浅层地下水，将导致建筑物地基产生后期不均匀沉降，使建筑物变形破坏。应引起建筑施工、浅层地下水开采时严重注意。     

罗圈里撞击坑铂族元素异常及粗铂矿的发现及其意义

对 1998年 7月发现的辽宁岫岩县苏子沟镇罗圈里直径 1.8km的撞击坑构造作了一系列地质、地球化学测试工作。从坑内出露的基岩 (下元古界辽河群里尔峪组变质砂岩 )与充填碎屑物质界面上取样 ,经XRD定性分析显示有自然铂、锇铱矿、自然铑、自然铱的存在。进一步对这一类样品作等离子质谱分析 (ICP MS) ,则发现有PGE异常。特别是Pt,Pd ,Ru甚至高于原始地幔的丰度值。进一步淘选坑里重砂样品则发现数颗粗铂矿物。已作电子探针分析表明PGE质量分数 :Pt为 85 .30 % 98.6 8% ,Pd为 0 .45 % 0 .87% ,Rh为 0 .5 6 % 0 .74% ,Os为 0 .6 6 % 1.31% ,Ir为 1.72 % 2 .43% ,Ru为 0 .16 % 0 .31% ,此外Ni为 0 .0 0 % 0 .5 0 % ,Fe为 4.98% 5 .42 %。笔者认为这种PGE元素异常和粗铂矿的发现是陨石及其撞击作用的重要依据之一。     

Pounding of structures modelled as non‐linear impacts of two oscillators

A new formulation is proposed to model pounding between two adjacent structures, with natural periods T₁ and T₂ and damping ratios ζ₁ and ζ₂ under harmonic earthquake excitation, as non‐linear Hertzian impact between two single‐degree‐of‐freedom oscillators. For the case of rigid impacts, a special case of our analytical solution has been given by Davis (‘Pounding of buildings modelled by an impact oscillator’ Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics, 1992; 21 :253–274) for an oscillator pounding on a stationary barrier. Our analytical predictions for rigid impacts agree qualitatively with our numerical simulations for non‐rigid impacts. When the difference in natural periods between the two oscillators increases, the impact velocity also increases drastically. The impact velocity spectrum is, however, relatively insensitive to the standoff distance. The maximum relative impact velocity of the coupled system can occur at an excitation period T_n^* which is either between those of the two oscillators or less than both of them, depending on the ratios T₁/T₂ and ζ₁/ζ₂. Although the pounding force between two oscillators has been primarily modelled by the Hertz contact law, parametric studies show that the maximum relative impact velocity is not very sensitive to changes in the contact parameters.
