吉黑地区新生代船底山玄武岩正名及其意义

船底山玄武岩于1953年创名。半个多世纪以来, 由于在其创名地一直未获得该火山事件的同位素测年资料以及东北地区存在诸多与船底山玄武岩类似的新生代高位玄武岩, 导致多种相关文献对东北地区古新世-上新世众多不同的火山事件所形成的玄武岩地质体均以“船底山玄武岩”命名, 造成了该名称的使用时间跨度太大, 给东北地区新生代火山事件序列的研究带来不便。层型剖面顶部玄武岩的测年结果表明, 船底山玄武岩的全岩K-Ar年龄为(28.3 ±2.3) Ma, 结合文献资料承传, 船底山玄武岩可作为一事件地层单元, 即船底山火山事件或广义的理解为晚渐新世沉积期( 31 ～23 Ma) 火山事件所形成的火山岩石地层单元。     

Regularities in Spatial Information Processing: Implications for Modeling Destination Choice

This paper investigates the determinants of spatial knowledge and how our knowledge of space varies according to geographic location. By using data on U.S. city names recalled at 22 test locations, a multivariate model of the information surface specific to each test location is calibrated. This model links the probability of a city being recalled from memory to its distance from the test site, its population size, its location with respect to other cities, and whether or not it is a state capital. The paper then suggests that these recall data provide information on spatial knowledge surfaces from which large-scale spatial choices, such as migration destinations, are made. Results from the analysis lend further evidence to the idea that spatial knowledge is stored and processed hierarchically and that individuals underrepresent information in large clusters. Consequently, the results have important implications for modeling any spatial behavior based on individuals' spatial information surfaces. In particular, the results cast further doubt on the validity of traditional large-scale spatial choice frameworks and lend support to the competing destinations hypothesis.     

PRINCIPLES FOR THE LOCATION OF SYNAGOGUES: SYMBOLISM AND FUNCTIONALISM IN A SPATIAL CONTEXT

Two traditional Jewish approaches to the location of synagogues can be found, one symbolic and one functional. The locational requirements are not identical; the symbolic approach deals with idealistic spatial status while the functional approach poses realistic locational demands. This spatio-locational conflict reflects a problematic situation on both theoretical and practical levels.     

Gender,Place, and Social Contacts: Understanding Awareness of Vulnerability to Terrorism

Abstract

Creating resiliency, accomplished in part by individuals preparing for disaster, is the primary strategy outside of law enforcement for responding to the threat of urban terrorism. Individuals prepare when they perceive a need to do so, yet little is known about what shapes a person's awareness of vulnerability to terrorism. Because evidence indicates that social contacts act as conduits of information and affect perception of risk to natural hazards, it is possible that such contacts also affect terrorism vulnerability awareness. Because social contacts are also known to be systematically segmented by gender and location, we hypothesized that conversations about terrorism vary by gender and place, specifically the home and work place. Drawing on data from 93 interviews with householders in Boston, the study demonstrates that: (1) family networks generated discussions of home preparedness, whereas workplace networks engaged a wider variety of topics; (2) women discussed terrorism more frequently and in greater depth than did men; and (3) women heard more preparedness messages for the home than did men, whereas men undertook preparedness activities external to the home. The findings bridge geography and terrorism studies by theorizing emplaced and subjective human experiences that prompt conversations about terrorism. These conversations, in turn, help urban emergency managers and risk-hazards geographers promote rational dialogue and action vis-à-vis terrorism. Hazards researchers have shown that the more people discuss terrorism, the less they seek extreme and unwarranted responses.     

基于语义类型本体的地名组配查询

地名查询方式多种多样,但它们都没有考虑地名语义类型因素,而语义类型恰恰是地名信息中相当重要的一部分。以地名语义分类为基础,构建了地名语义类型本体模型,并以郑州市为例进行了地名组配查询实验。结果表明,该方式对于检索地名的相关信息具有较好的辅助作用,为地名查询与检索作了有益的补充。

Skyline-based registration of 3D laser scans

Acquisition and registration of terrestrial 3D laser scans is a fundamental task in mapping and modeling of cities in three dimensions. To automate this task marker-free registration methods are required. Based on the existence of skyline features, this paper proposes a novel method. The skyline features are extracted from panoramic 3D scans and encoded as strings enabling the use of string matching for merging the scans. Initial results of the proposed method in the old city center of Bremen are pre-sented.
