FARMING THE FOREST EDGE: VULNERABLE PLACES AND PEOPLE AROUND KIBALE NATIONAL PARK,UGANDA

ABSTRACT. Subsistence farmers near Kibale National Park, Uganda, fear and resent many wildlife species. In this article I compare records of crop damage by wildlife and livestock with local complaints about the worst animals and the most vulnerable crops. I discuss the concordance and discrepancies in complaints versus actual damage in light of physical parameters of risk and of social factors that shape perceptions and vulnerabilities. Crop losses were greatest at the edge of the forest, where immigrants are disproportionately represented. State proprietorship of wildlife amplifies local vulnerability and constrains traditional coping strategies, such as hunting.     

LIKELIHOOD TECHNIQUES FOR INTERLABORATORY CALIBRATION IN THE NATIONAL STREAM SURVEY

Techniques for testing for and estimating relative bias between two laboratories are developed andapplied to a survey of the chemistry of streams in the United States.The design of the quality assuranceprogram allows estimation of linear corrections for bias as well as testing of the hypothesis of linearity,Designs of this type are useful,but improvements are suggested.

加快发展信息产业促进社会经济持续发展

以构建高效信息传输网络为代表的全球信息化浪潮正在蓬勃兴起。这是现代科学技术发展对人类社会的一次革命性变革。在即将来临的信息社会中，信息资源将成为人类生产资料的第一要素。从世界范围看，信息产业从传统的第三产业中分离出来，成为一种独立的新兴产业的趋势已日益明显。信息产业可以成为中国跨世纪发展的支柱产业和具有持久效能的新经济增长点。加快发展信息产业，也是中国根据自身的国情，建立资源节约型的国民经济体系，实现“两个转变”和社会经济可持续发展目标的必然选择。     

中国南极考察队越冬队员的心理选拔方法初探

本研究是首次对中国南极考察队越冬预选队员进行心理选拔方法的探讨。以第十三、十四次中国南极考察队５４名越冬预选队员为对象,在冬训期间,对选拔方法的设计、实施、分析及改进作了探索,应用了艾森克人格问卷（ＥＰＱ）、行为类型问卷（ＢＰＱ）、卡特尔十六种人格因素问卷（１６ＰＦ）、自编自陈问卷、应激水平实验和直接行为观察等可供参考的选拔方案,并作了效度检验,为我国南极考察队员的选拔工作取得了初步经验,选拔方案尚待进一步完善。     

MODELLING OF LOCAL CLIMATE FOR PREDICTION OF ROAD SLIPPERINESS

Recent research for the Swedish Road Weather Information System (WIS) is discussed along with a method for determining temperature variations attributable to topography during different weather situations. Topographical areas are classified according to factors determining temperature differences. The investigation concentrates on areas where great temperature differences occur during different weather situations, producing a risk of local road slipperiness. Geographical factors analyzed and discussed include valleys, height differences, shadow areas, bridges, and regional climate. Cold air pool intensities are shown to be influenced by weather but a variation between different valleys also occurs owing to valley width, area of cold air production, wind shelter, and ratio between height and width of valley slopes. During neutral or unstable lapse rate conditions, the lowest road surface temperature is closely related to the air temperature and decreases with increasing altitude above sea level. Screened areas have a lower surface temperature than areas exposed to sun. Factors such as bridge size and type also affect road surface temperature on bridges. These different factors are integrated into a local climatological model. [Key words: topoclimatology, local climatology, modelling, road slipperiness, road surface temperature.]

MOZAMBIQUE,NEOLIBERAL LAND REFORM,AND THE LIMPOPO NATIONAL PARK*

ABSTRACT. Central to its transformation from a state‐centered to a neoliberal, free‐market economy, in 1997 the Mozambican state passed a radical new land law that guarantees the rights of individuals and communities to occupy land and transfer land‐use titles, a move seen as necessary for attracting private investment. By comparing how the land law has been applied to the Limpopo National Park and several adjacent villages, I show how it has led to geographically uneven land reform. More specifically, outside the park, the law has enabled the semiprivatization of community lands, in theory protecting community land rights. However, the application of the law within the park has resulted in the further nationalization of this space, which is leading to land dispossession for communities within the park's borders. I thus show how neoliberal land reform is giving rise to a seemingly contradictory type of “neoliberal state space.”

THE NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT IN THE COURTS AND CONGRESS, 1970-1972

This paper tests the validity of general central place concepts in a two-province, government-organized planning region in western Argentina known as Cuyo. Results of trade area surveys for various hierarchical levels and patterns formed by shopping-trip behavior agree well with expectations based on similar central place research in the United States.     

THE AMUR-YAKUTSK MAINLINE: A SOVIET CONCEPT OR REALITY?

The assimilation of Siberia's northeast frontier has been a subliminal goal of Soviet planners since the 1930s, but economic problems, including inaccessibility, have thwarted their aim at almost every turn. The completion of the Baykal-Amur Mainline (BAM) and the renewed planning and construction of the Amur-Yakutsk Mainline (AYAM) at first promised to inspire new regional development efforts. The new policies of the Gorbachev administration appear to have altered the course, at least temporarily. This article analyzes these developments and relationships.
