The Burmese Arc seismic activity is not uniform for its ∼ 1100 km length; only the Northern Burmese Arc (NBA) is intensely active. Six large earthquakes in the magnitude range 6.1–7.4 have originated from the NBA Benioff zone between 1954–2011, within an area of 200 × 300 km2 where the Indian plate subducts eastward to depths beyond 200 km below the Burma plate. An analysis on seismogenesis of this interplate region suggests that while the subducting lithosphere is characterized by profuse seismicity, seismicity in the overriding plate is rather few. Large earthquakes occurring in the overriding plate are associated with the backarc Shan-Sagaing Fault (SSF) further east. The forecasting performance of the Benioff zone earthquakes in NBA as forerunner is analysed here by: (i) spatial earthquake clustering, (ii) seismic cycles and their temporal quiescence and (iii) the characteristic temporal b-value changes. Three such clusters (C1–C3) are identified from NBA Benioff Zones I & II that are capable of generating earthquakes in the magnitude ranges of 7.38 to 7.93. Seismic cycles evidenced for the Zone I displayed distinct quiescence (Q1, Q2 and Q3) prior to the 6th August 1988 (M 6.6) earthquake. Similar cycles were used to forecast an earthquake (Dasgupta et al. 2010) to come from the Zone I (cluster C1); which, actually struck on 4 February 2011 (M 6.3). The preparatory activity for an event has already been set in the Zone II and we speculate its occurrence as a large event (M > 6.0) possibly within the year 2012, somewhere close to cluster C3. Temporal analysis of b-value indicates a rise before an ensuing large earthquake. 相似文献

The Bayesian extreme-value distribution of earthquake occurrences has been used to estimate the seismic hazard in 12 seismogenic
zones of the North-East Indian peninsula. The Bayesian approach has been used very efficiently to combine the prior information
on seismicity obtained from geological data with historical observations in many seismogenic zones of the world. The basic
parameters to obtain the prior estimate of seismicity are the seismic moment, slip rate, earthquake recurrence rate and magnitude.
These estimates are then updated in terms of Bayes’ theorem and historical evaluations of seismicity associated with each
zone. From the Bayesian analysis of extreme earthquake occurrences for North-East Indian peninsula, it is found that for T = 5 years, the probability of occurrences of magnitude (M
w = 5.0–5.5) is greater than 0.9 for all zones. For M
w = 6.0, four zones namely Z1 (Central Himalayas), Z5 (Indo-Burma border), Z7 (Burmese arc) and Z8 (Burma region) exhibit high
probabilities. Lower probability is shown by some zones namely␣Z4, Z12, and rest of the zones Z2, Z3, Z6, Z9, Z10 and Z11
show moderate probabilities. 相似文献

Cross-border regional enlargement entails complex dynamics. The integration process at the maritime border between Sweden
and Denmark illustrates this. Physical infrastructure has been improved by national governments and intranational and supranational
institutions have added to the instrumentation as a precondition for social interaction and integration. The outcome of these
efforts is here tested under a hypothesis that in spite of this forceful cocktail of policy instruments, the cross-border
regionalization process is at best a long-run phenomenon in the ?resund Region. The point of departure is the stepwise procedure
for the formation of binational cities suggested in Ehlers (2001, GeoJournal
54: 21–32). Social interaction is identified as the pivotal factor in the present state of integration of the ?resund Region
using Bucken-Knapp (2001, GeoJournal
54: 51–60). A benchmarking method is proposed for testing social interaction in the labour market, where cross-border dynamics
are benchmarked against national dynamics. The cross-border regional enlargement process is still in its very infancy and
a continued focus on policies to promote cross-border social interaction is required. The present governance without government
approach to cross-border cooperation in the ?resund Region is in that respect challenged by a reform of the Danish geo-administrative
system. 相似文献

Regional economic cooperation is being re-considered in the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries comprising Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Brunei. The political leadership in each of the member countries appearsto have recognised that regional integration of their economies hold out better prospects for economic competitiveness and sustained growth. The diversity among the ASEAN states however, explains the mixed reaction to development schemes that have been premised on regional cooperation and economic integration. It is the paradox that while difference among the ASEAN countries account for some of the toughest competition faced by the region's newly industrialising economies, these differences have also been the reason behind integration and cooperation. This paper examines the growth triangle arrangement initiated by the government of Singapore and involving the Riau Islands in Indonesia and the state of Johor in the neighbouring country of Malaysia. The spatial and economic impact of Indonesia-Malaysia-Singapore Growth Triangle, as it is now officially called, is discussed. In spite of the addition of more growth triangles which have been identified following on this pioneering effort in the region, the discussion will highlight the limits to such cooperation at least, among the newly industrializing economies in the region. 相似文献

One of the major means to foster European integration is the establishment of border spanning regions (‘Euroregions’). This
is particularly important on the Eastern borders of the EU, e.g. in Eastern Germany. There, however, a double transformation
to post-socialist society is taking place, both inside and outside the EU. Tensions arise between objectives on local and
higher political levels, intensified by totally different economic structures and access to EU funds on both sides of the
border. This is particularly true for the case of the emerging Euroregion Viadrina. Problems in preserving old industrialised
localities in East Germany (e.g. steel) and attempts to resurrect the urban fair place Frankfurt/Oder, clash with transition
in agriculture and consumer industries and with new concepts in tourism development and environmental protection in the Polish
border zone. In region building, political, economic and ideological goals compete with each other. Local initiatives and
higher political governance may both support and hamper each other. The same holds true for the interdependence of cultural
integration and economic development. The paper concludes that regional economic development can only be expected if, via
the building of the Euroregion, the interplay of these factors leads to compromise and harmonization between the different
parties involved.

This paper examines how civil war in Guatemala created and destroyed community cohesion, which, in turn, influences land use
practices in the frontier region of Ixcán today. The impact of civil war on the environment and land use in this region takes
many forms. Some communities took refuge in Mexico. Other communities refused to take refuge in Mexico and also refused to
submit to military rule. These communities of “people in resistance” formed highly cohesive units in order to evade military
detection. The lessons of cooperation and the high levels of cohesion they developed during their years in hiding have carried
over to their successful management of natural resources in post-conflict Guatemala. Return refugees accumulated higher levels
of cohesion while in refuge because they often participated in workshops organized and funded by outside relief agencies.
Higher levels of community cohesion have allowed return refugee communities to better organize and use their land in more
sustainable ways. Other communities did not flee and thus endured military rule. They were forced out of their dispersed land
parcels into concentrated model villages. Concentration of community members forced intensive use of the environment in the
zone immediately surrounding the new settlement. Often, distrust permeated these occupied communities and community cohesion
dipped. Today, these low levels of community cohesion lead to a lack of consensus on how to use land and resources in the
community. The overall goal of the paper is to point out the community level variation in the relationship between military
actions, community cohesion, and the environment.

Subsidizing cross-border regions is a method to close the gap between citizens and the European Union. This analysis of PAMINA,
a cross-border region in the Rhine Valley near Karlsruhe, discusses some of the difficulties of this policy. There are structural
mismatches between the scales of different cross-border relations. These vertical mismatches are linked to the differences
in the horizontal logics of economic and administrative cross-border relations. Especially cross-border commuting, made possible
by European economic integration, has improved the daily life of many inhabitants of this region. Paradoxically this regional
success of European economic integration is disconnected from the EU funded cross-border region. They not only relate to different
scales, but the same spatial asymmetry generating this cross-border behaviour hinders administrative cross-border cooperation
in PAMINA.

For some time the US-Mexico border has been a symbol – and site – of conflict, collaboration, and transnational mobility.
Related to the border, the topic of undocumented immigration, and Mexican migrants in particular, has received considerable
attention in US mainstream media. Cinema in particular, provides a context for producing and interrogating discourses of nationalism,
nativism, and fear. The cinematic examples I draw on illustrate an ongoing fear (and terror) about borders and border crossing of various forms. In this paper I explore how narratives of borders and
nationhood are mapped onto immigrant bodies and border spaces through specific filmic representations. In order to undertake
this study I focus on three cinematic examples exploring immigration at the US-Mexico border – Touch of Evil, The Border and Lone Star. I examine how concepts of borders, race, and gender, and tropes of ‘The South’ are reterritorialized around immigrant bodies
and specific locales. I argue that an inability to control and ‘fix’ boundaries around possible ‘threats’ to specific US spaces
and identities is counteracted by displacing this fear onto more easily marked targets that are viewed as posing challenges
to US national (and personal) security, i.e., undocumented immigrants. At the same time, cinematic images illustrate that
the threats and spaces for immigrants themselves become increasingly marginalized, blurred, and frequently erased.

The global climate change literature suggests that at some point in the future it is possible that low-lying areas may be
drowned due to rising sea levels, and a number of Pacific Ocean states could be particularly vulnerable. It is increasingly
evident that the emerging scenario of environmental change has compounded more established push–pull factors leading to migration,
and has provided a new imperative for migration decision-making. By interrogating the proposition that there is a clear distinction
between the policy categories of ‘migrants’ and ‘refugees,’ we examine a hitherto un-defined group of Tuvaluan migrants whose
movement is in response to environmental change and possible climate change effects. The paper examines Tuvaluan migration
to New Zealand through various immigration schemes for permanent residency, with an emphasis on the International/Humanitarian
stream. 相似文献

This article intends to describe the social situation and living conditions of the drought refugees living in the periphery
of Mopti. The complex phenomenon of ‘poverty’ and of social discrimination is explained by different indicators (kind of ‘informal
economy’, kind of dwelling, composition of food, hygienic situation). In contemporary Africa hunger has become a problem of
those people who have lost their original social and economic roots. This holds expecially true for the drought refugees.
The transformation of nomads and peasants into proletarian and dependent outcasts will be demonstrated. 相似文献

Using statistics collected by UNHCR and the Serbian government, the paper examines aspects of the refugee problem in FR Yugoslavia
whose war-affected population amounted to 646 066 persons in 1996 (a figure that is almost certainly an underestimate). Relatively
few refugees will return to their homes even with a political settlement because so many homes are damaged or destroyed. Many
people would like to settle in Western Europe and some have already succeeded (especially in Scandinavia where asylum seekers
from Former Yugoslavia accounted for 80 percent of the applications in January-September 1993). But regulations are being
tightened and asylum seekers are now facing deportation. Housing refugees in FRY is expensive (only 350 refugees got new homes
and permanent citizenship in 1994), but some exchanges have been arranged between Serbs arriving from Croatia and Croats established
in Vojvodina who are willing to move in the opposite direction. The most promising solution discussed in the paper is resettlement
in border villages which have experienced steady depopulation since the Second World War. Houses are available for refurbishment
and arable land is cheap. The resettlement of refugee farmers could make an immediate impact on food production and over the
longer term there could be sustained economic growth in the context of a newly-constituted Euroregion. Such a strategy would
make a virtue out of necessity by helping the refugees and the border regions which have had their potential enhanced by cross-border
cooperation.

Groundwater has played an important role in economic development in Southeast Asian countries, but some problems caused by
nature or human actions such as contamination, over pumping, and land subsidence bring the necessity of more systematic groundwater
monitoring wells. The analytical hierarchy process with pairwise comparison was used to allocate and organize the regional
groundwater monitoring wells in five regions, Thailand, Cambodia, East/West Malaysia, and South Korea. Five different multi
criteria decision models, which were composed of three primary criteria and eight secondary criteria, were developed based
on the answers of the questionnaire from 76 groundwater experts in Thailand, 100 in Cambodia, 101 in East Malaysia, 87 in
West Malaysia, and 93 in South Korea. It was revealed that the weights of model criteria for each country, which also represent
relative importance on groundwater monitoring, were different according to the diverse groundwater situation. The most important
factor to determine the number of monitoring well was ‘number of households using only groundwater as a water source’ for
Thailand and South Korea, ‘number of contamination sources’ for Cambodia, ‘amount of groundwater use for drinking-water supply’
for East Malaysia, and ‘number of wells with contaminated water’ for West Malaysia. 相似文献

Worldwide, the number and the occurrence of events that create international refugees has been increasing dramatically for at least the past fifty years. Analysis of the distribution of the causes and location of refugees has revealed that refugees more often result from military actions than natural disasters. In many instances, the creation of international refugees is a conscious political and military policy, a practice that seems to be increasing. More importantly, some geographic areas seem to be continuing core areas of such practices. Finally, regardless of their cause, refugees present specific problems to national control of population and territory. States that have been open to refugee settlement seldom are neighbor states and many now find their own populations rebelling against continued aid in the form of increased immigration. Most often, contiguous states are unwilling hosts as well as unwilling sites of refugee camps. Such circumstances can cause serious social, political as well as potential military consequences. 相似文献

The 26 December 2004 tsunami covered significant portion of a coastal zone with a blanket of potentially contaminated sediments. In this report are presented results on mercury concentrations in sediments deposited by the tsunami in a coastal zone of Thailand. Since the total mercury concentrations are insufficient to assess mercury mobility and bioavailability in sediment, its fractionation was applied. Sediments were sampled within 50 days after the event and analyzed by sequential extraction method. The procedure of sequential extraction involved five subsequent stages performed with solutions of chloroform, deionized water, 0.5 M HCl, 0.2 M NaOH, and aqua regia. The mean concentration of total mercury in sediments was 119 ± 50 ng g−1 dry mass (range 66–230). The fractionation revealed that mercury is mainly bound to the least bioavailable sulphides 75 ± 6% (range 62–86), organomercury compounds 14 ± 7% (range 4–26), and humic matter 9 ± 7% (range 1–27). The lowest contributions bring fractions of water-soluble mercury 0.8 ± 1.0% (range 0.1–3.6) and acid soluble mercury 0.9 ± 0.5% (range 0.2–2.1). Although, the total mercury content is similar in a reference sample and in the tsunami sediments, the highly toxic organomercury fraction contribution is higher in the latter. The results were compared with chemical and sedimentological properties of the sediments but no significant correlations were obtained between them. 相似文献

Almost pure andradite and intermediate members of the andradite-grossular series (gros40–49, and 47–54, py0–3, alm0–3, spess0–2, hydrogarnet0–3), often framboidal in habit, are widespread in metabasites including lavas, minor intrusions, and volcanic sandstones and
breccias metamorphosed under prehnite-pumpellyite and pumpellyite-actinolite facies conditions, possibly extending into the
zeolite facies. Coexisting phases include iron-rich epidotes (100 Fe*/Fe*+Al=22–34), pumpellyite, prehnite, actinolite, and
chlorite, electron microprobe analyses of which are given, as well as quartz, albite, and calcite. Zoisite (100 Fe*/Fe*+Al=1–5)
and iron-poor epidote (100 Fe*/Fe*+Al=11–18) occur in 2 rocks in pseudomorphs after plagioclase together with more iron-rich
epidote, but not in close association with the garnets. Coexisting pumpellyite is iron-rich (FeO* 9–14%) in the prehnite-pumpellyite
facies and iron-poor (FeO* 5%) in the pumpellyiteactinolite facies. Chlorites and actinolites vary widely and sympathetically
in FeO/MgO+FeO ratio. Andradite is also described from a stilpnomelane-actinolite-hematite-bearing andradite quartzite of
the pumpellyite-actinolite facies.
Conditions of formation involved temperatures of 300 to 400 ° or less, at pressures up to a few kilobars. A wide range of
oxygen fugacities is possible, but
in the fluid phase was low. Grandite and chlorite are incompatible in the pumpellyite-actinolite and greenschist facies in
the presence of quartz but the 2 minerals occur together in some pumpellyite-actinolite facies assemblages as a result of
incomplete reaction and/or local deficiency in silica. In the greenschist facies the association is replaced by epidote-actinolite±hematite
and sodic amphibole.
Whereas at medium to high grades of metamorphism andradite and grandite are characteristic of skarns irrespective of
, at very low grades they are found in mafic volcanic rocks and volcanogenic sediments as well as in certain cherty rocks
of unusual composition, rodingites, and serpentinites, where
was very low. 相似文献

In recent decades, the dominant planning discourse has undergone a great change from a previous top-down approach towards
collaborative and communicative planning. Instead of merely planning for the people in a technocratic and positivist approach, planners are increasingly expected to pay attention to the voices of
the citizens. However, within this new participatory approach there is a growing post-colonial and feminist critique pointing
out that not all voices are being heard. This critique sheds light on inherent power relations within the collaborative and
communicative planning discourse. In particular, the voices of women in marginalised neighbourhoods are often neglected (Sandercock
Towards cosmopolis. Planning for multicultural cities. New York: Wiley, 1998; Cornwall World Development, 31(8), 1325–1342, 2003; Peleman Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, 94(2), 151–163, 2003; Cameron and Grant-Smith Urban Policy and Research, 23(1), 21–36, 2005). Participatory planning in marginalised housing areas demands both a great sensibility to citizens’ everyday
life worlds, and a more reflexive planner role. However, the complexities of the planner’s praxis and uncertainties in the
planner’s roles become an obstacle to develop a more inclusive participatory approach. Difficulties of reaching out to the
whole community is often recognised, but seldom fully dealt with, neither in theory, nor in practice.

Summary The Karimnagar granulite terrain is an integral part of the Eastern Dharwar Craton (EDC). It has received much interest because
of the only reported granulite facies rocks in the EDC. These granulites contain quartz-free sapphirine-spinel-bearing granulites,
kornerupine – bearing granulites, mafic granulites, orthopyroxene-cordierite gneisses, charnockites, amphibolites, dolerite
dykes, granite gneisses, quartzites and banded magnetite quartzite. The orthopyroxene-cordierite gneisses occur as enclaves
within granite-gneiss in association with banded magnetite quartzites, charnockites and amphibolites. The observed reaction
textures, spectacular as they are, have an extraordinary information content within a tiny domain. Coronas, symplectites and
resorption textures are of particular interest as they reflect discontinuous or continuous reactions under changing physical
conditions. The main mineral assemblages encountered in these gneisses are orthopyroxene – cordierite – biotite – plagioclase
– perthite – quartz and garnet – orthopyroxene – cordierite – biotite – quartz – plagioclase – perthite ± sillimanite. Multiphase
reaction textures in conjunction with mineral chemical data in the KFMASH system indicate the following reactions:
Based on chemographic relationships and petrogenetic grids in the K2O–FeO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2–H2O (KFMASH) system, a sequence of prograde (early stage), isothermal decompression (middle stage) and retrograde (late stage)
reactions (‘back reactions’ and hydration reactions) are inferred. Relatively lower P–T estimates (0.35 GPa/550–750 °C) obtained from the different geothermobarometers are attributed to late Fe–Mg re-equilibration
during cooling. Therefore, the convergence method has been applied to retrieve simultaneously the P–T conditions of the thermal peak of metamorphism. The near thermal peak condition of metamorphism estimated by the convergence
method are 850 °C/0.62 GPa. The P–T estimates define a retrograde trajectory with substantial decompression. 相似文献
