Passive earth pressure on embedded vertical plate anchors in sand

Passive earth pressure on embedded anchor plates constitutes a viable resisting force for the design of underground structures. In the current practice, these forces are empirically calculated, ignoring the effects of the depth of embedment and the level of consolidation of the surrounding soil, which takes place during plate installation on the in situ stress levels. Accordingly, wide discrepancies between predicted and measured pullout capacities of these plates were reported in the literature. Numerical model was developed using finite-element technique and the constitutive law of Mohr?CCoulomb to simulate the case of a retaining wall partially supported by an embedded anchor plate in sand. The results produced in this investigation showed that the passive earth pressure acting on anchor plates increases due to the increase of angle of shearing resistance and the overconsolidation ratio of sand, and it decreases due to an increase of the embedment depth of anchor. Design theories were developed for the case of embedded anchor plate in overconsolidated sand. The theories developed will satisfy the design needed in terms of allowable pullout load and/or displacement.     

基于复合系统协调度的地质环境承载能力定量评价方法研究

从限制性与安全性角度出发,构建了地质环境承载能力评价指标体系。在此基础上,将承载能力与社会经济系统中人口与GDP这2个指标相结合,引入系统协调度概念,构建了空间协调度与整体协调度定量化表达模型,并首次提出利用地质环境-社会经济复合系统协调度评价结果来表达地质环境承载能力的方法。该研究成果能够在空间布局上有效呈现出承载本底与承载对象间的承载状态。同时,该研究思路可用于其他有关要素的资源环境承载能力评价工作中,亦可支撑地质环境开发利用与保护红线划定等领域的研究。

Scleractinian coral communities of Hormuz Island in the Persian Gulf

The abundance and health of scleractinian coral communities of Hormuz Island were investigated. For this purpose, we employed 20 m line intercept transects—12 in the intertidal zone and 15 subtidally to evaluate coral cover and community composition. The estimated dead coral coverage was 6.21%±0.81%, while live coral coverage was 16.93%±1.81%, considered as very poor. Totally, 12 genera were recorded, of which Porites with 11.9%±1.4% live cover was the dominant, while Goniopora had the least cover (0.07%±0.08%). Based on Mann-Whitney U-test, live coral coverage, dead coral coverage, algal coverage, cover of other benthic organisms and abiotic components showed significant univariate differences between zones (p<0.05). The Spearman correlation test between the abundance of biotic and abiotic components indicated significant negative correlation of live coral and sand with zoantharian and significant positive correlation of algae and other benthic organisms with rubble. The reef health indices used for the corals indicated that, in general, the environmental conditions were not suitable, which could be attributed to both natural and anthropogenic factors, the most important of which was zoantharian’ overgrowth on the scleractinian corals in this region.

Gendering Climate Change: Geographical Insights

Although climate change is expected to increase vulnerabilities, marginalization, and sufferings of many in the Global South, impacts will be unevenly felt across social strata. Intersectionalities of social difference, especially along gender and class lines, differentiate the ways in which impacts of climate change are experienced and responded to. Feminist political ecology and feminist geography insights can explain how different groups of people understand, respond to, and cope with variability and uncertainties in nuanced and critical ways, thereby elucidating the gendered implications of climate change. With a regional focus on South Asia, the article underscores the key issues that can be applied geographically elsewhere. Gendered implications of climate change in South Asia are particularly poignant as patriarchal norms, inequities, and inequalities often place women and men in differentiated positions in their abilities to respond to and cope with dramatic changes in socioecological relations but also foreground the complex ways in which social power relations operate in communal responses to adaptation strategies. This is particularly evident in water-related productive and reproductive tasks in agrarian societies that constitute the majority of South Asia. As climate change is expected to exacerbate both ecological degradation (e.g., water shortages) and water-related natural hazards (e.g., floods, cyclones), thereby transforming gender–water geographies, it becomes imperative to undertake careful multiscalar and critical analyses to better inform policymaking. This article elucidates the complex ways that climate change will affect gender and social relations, thereby highlighting the ways that existing policy narratives and adaptation programs might be better informed by geographical insights. To this end, the article encourages feminist and critical geographers to more forcefully and fruitfully engage with global debates on climate change.     

中国北方近57年气温时空变化特征

通过分析中国北方近57年来气温时空变化特征,结合GIS空间分析技术和数理统计理论,对中国北方气温变化进行定量化分析,阐述其时空演变规律。结果表明:近57年来中国北方气温总体呈上升趋势,升温趋势最快的是东北地区(0.25℃/10a),最慢的是西北东区(0.12℃/10a)。各区年均、1月、7月气温的增温趋势呈非对称性,年均气温的升高主要得益于1月气温的贡献,7月各区升温趋势普遍较慢;中国北方年均气温变化存在突变现象,东北区是在1994年(a=0.05),华北区是在1997年(a=0.05),西北西和西北东分别为在1996年和1997年(a=0.05);年均气温变化具有明显的周期性,东北区分别以21a、6a、11a为第一、第二、第三主周期,华北区气温周期为22a,西北西区周期为12a,西北东区第一、第二、第三主周期分别为15a、8a、5.5a;中国北方各区气温变化一致性较强,都呈现上升趋势,但各区之间相关关系存在差异,东北和华北年均气温相关系数达到0.79(a=0.01),1月东北区和西北西区相关系数为0.19,7月东北区和西北东区的相关系数为0.26,未达到显著水平。
