A new approach to minimize the loss of life after natural hazards by using Android operating system

Nowadays, the usage rates of smartphones are increasing rapidly. With the versatility of its features, smartphones have succeeded in attracting users. Performing this study has also affected the usage rate of smartphones every day. It is possible to determine the position with GPS (Global Positioning System) technology which is located in smartphones. In this study, smartphone location notification was used to detect the locations of the people who were under debris after the earthquake by means of the phones on them. People who cannot be reached for any reason will be immediately identified, and emergency interventions will be possible. Thus, the survival rate of the injured will be high with early intervention. In this study, it was aimed to minimize the loss of life after the earthquake and all the negativities that would be experienced in society due to this loss. The developed application has been tested in the external world, and the obtained data are given in results section.

     

Simplified formulae for designing coastal forest against tsunami run-up: one-dimensional approach

In the present study, laboratory experiments were conducted to validate the applicability of a numerical model based on one-dimensional nonlinear long-wave equations. The model includes drag and inertia resistance of trees to tsunami flow and porosity between trees and a simplified forest in a wave channel. It was confirmed that the water surface elevation and flow velocity by the numerical simulations agree well with the experimental results for various forest conditions of width and tree density. Further, the numerical model was applied to prototype conditions of a coastal forest of Pandanus odoratissimus to investigate the effects of forest conditions (width and tree density) and incident tsunami conditions (period and height) on run-up height and potential tsunami force. The modeling results were represented in curve-fit equations with the aim of providing simplified formulae for designing coastal forest against tsunamis. The run-up height and potential tsunami forces calculated by the curve-fit formulae and the numerical model agreed within ± 10% error.

那曲地区植被NDVI时空变化及成因分析

利用GIS和遥感技术方法分析了2000—2014年那曲地区植被归一化指数(NDVI)的时空分布特征和变化趋势,探讨了NDVI与几种气象因子的关系。结果表明:空间上,研究区植被NDVI在空间上呈自西向东、自南向北逐步增大,高海拔地区小于低海拔地区的分布特点;时间上,近15a的NDVI总体上呈不显著性下降趋势,NDVI变化可以分为3个阶段,分别为2000—2005年较好,2006—2008年略差,2009—2014年好转。植被面积变化趋势表现为西北部植被处于稳定状态的面积居多,变化较明显的区域集中在中部和东南部地区的人口密集区,改善和退化区域呈现交错出现的特点。那曲地区植被变化的主要影响因素为降水量和热量因素引起的,人类活动在较短时间尺度上对植被也有较大影响。

用地面气温特征向量场探讨北半球七十年代的气候特征

本文利用自然正交展开的分析方法,对10°S—80°N地区1968年12月—1978年11月历年逐月的地面温度距平场进行了分解.从分析中得到七十年代地面气温场变化的主要特征是:温度变化趋势是以多振动为主;夏季平均变化是偏冷的,冬季是偏暖的.再者是东半球的变化大于西半球,极区与中高纬的变化是反相的.通过分析温度变化的特征,进一步探讨了七十年代异常气候频繁出现的原因,表明气候异常主要是由于中高纬地区温度梯度变化加强,致使大气斜压性产生剧烈的变化而造成的.

深部构造环境、长期活动的深大断裂和成群成组的成矿构造带、多期次构造岩浆活动和蚀变叠加、多期次地幔流体和成矿流体的频繁活动，以及花岗岩丰富的铀源、良好的还原条件和封闭成矿环境等优越的成矿条件，使粤北成为得天独厚的花岗岩型铀矿矿集区。通过分析下庄矿田330南西地区“群脉型”、中洞地区“交点型”铀矿化，以及南雄矿田坪下水地区、棉花坑-书楼丘地区“硅化碎裂岩型”铀矿化等成矿条件好、找矿线索明显的地区，表明区内有较大的铀资源潜力和找矿潜力，为下一步的工作指出了方向。     

On the use of biorthogonalization for solving systems of linear equations in numerical weather forecasting

Summary The paper deals with the solving of large systems of linear equations which are created when implicit and semi-implicit differential methods are used to solve the primitive equations of the atmosphere. Systems with similar properties are also created in solving boundary problems of multi-level filtered models. First, the specific properties of these systems, which are then used to construct an efficient method of solving them, are described.
