环渤海地区中心城市金融竞争力评价及辐射研究

以环渤海地区中心城市为研究区域,通过建立城市金融竞争力评价指标体系,运用突变级数法、主成分分析法、层次分析法对环渤海地区中心城市金融竞争力进行综合评价,并通过威尔逊模型揭示了中心城市的辐射范围。环渤海地区中心城市金融发展不平衡,北京的城市金融竞争力遥遥领先于其他城市;环渤海地区并未形成一个紧密联系的金融辐射网络,金融一体化还不成熟,仍有金融盲区的存在;各中心城市在发挥自身优势的同时应打破地区间行政壁垒,优势互补,协同发展,带动环渤海地区金融发展。     

土壤地球化学测量在辽宁省开原市小甸子银金多金属矿区的找矿效果

在勘查区内通过1∶10 000土壤地球化学测量工作发现多处异常,结合区内成矿地质条件及矿种属性可将异常划分为3个异常区带,即西部HT1、东部HT2、南部HT3。经地表探槽工程揭露部分异常与已知矿体较为吻合,并且在勘查区东部HT2-3异常带内新发现4条蚀变岩型Zn矿体。土壤地球化学测量在该区地质找矿中发挥了重要的指导作用,取得了良好的找矿效果。     

Radiative forcing over China due to albedo change caused by land cover change during 1990–2010

Land cover change affects surface radiation budget and energy balance by chang- ing surface albedo and further impacts the regional and global climate. In this article, high spatial and temporal resolution satellite products were used to analyze the driving mechanism for surface albedo change caused by land cover change during 1990-2010. In addition, the annual-scale radiative forcing caused by surface albedo changes in China＇s 50 ecological regions were calculated to reveal the biophysical mechanisms of land cover change affecting climate change at regional scale. Our results showed that the national land cover changes were mainly caused by land reclamation, grassland desertification and urbanization in past 20 years, which were almost induced by anthropogenic activities. Grassland and forest area decreased by 0.60% and 0.11%, respectively. The area of urban and farmland increased by 0.60% and 0.19%, respectively. The mean radiative forcing caused by land cover changes during 1990-2010 was 0.062 W/m2 in China, indicating a warming climate effect. However, spatial heterogeneity of radiative forcing was huge among different ecological regions. Farmland conversing to urban construction land, the main type of land cover change for the urban and suburban agricultural ecological region in Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan region, caused an albedo reduction by 0.00456 and a maximum positive radiative forcing of 0.863 WIm2, which was presented as warming climate effects. Grassland and forest conversing to farmland, the main type of land cover change for the temperate humid agricultural and wetland ecological region in Sanjiang Plain, caused an albedo increase by 0.00152 and a maximum negative radiative forcing of 0.184 W/m2, implying cooling climate effects.     

Multidimensional-unified topological relations computation: a hierarchical geometric algebra-based approach

This article presents a geometric algebra-based model for topological relation computation. This computational model is composed of three major components: the Grassmann structure preserving hierarchical multivector-tree representation (MVTree), multidimensional unified operators for intersection relation computation, and the judgement rules for assembling the intersections into topological relations. With this model, the intersection relations between the different dimensional objects (nodes at different levels) are computed using the Tree Meet operator. The meet operation between two arbitrary objects is accomplished by transforming the computation into the meet product between each pair of MVTree nodes, which produces a series of intersection relations in the form of MVTree. This intersection tree is then processed through a set of judgement rules to determine the topological relations between two objects in the hierarchy. Case studies of topological relations between two triangles in 3D space are employed to illustrate the model. The results show that with the new model, the topological relations can be computed in a simple way without referring to dimension. This dimensionless way of computing topological relations from geographic data is significant given the increased dimensionality of geographic information in the digital era.     

State of the art and practice of pavement anti-icing and de-icing techniques

Pavement snow and icing are worldwide problems, but effective countermeasures are just beginning to be developed in China. The two most common snow and ice removal methods are mechanical clearance and chemical melting, and the advantages and disadvantages of each approach are discussed here, including environmental and structural damage caused by corrosive snow melting agents. New developments in chemical melting agents and mechanical equipment are discussed, and an overview of alternative thermal melting systems is presented, including the use of geothermy and non-geothermal heating systems utilizing solar energy, electricity, conductive pavement materials, and infrared/microwave applications. Strategic recommendations are made for continued enhancement of public safety in snow and ice conditions.     

Dating of two thermokarst lakes in Beiluhe Basin,Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Most of the thermokarst lakes are spread appreciably in Beiluhe Basin,Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,China,where ice-rich permafrost exists.Two typical thermokarst lakes with differing area and depth were examined to ascertain their age.We obtained lake-bottom samples of 50 cm length from lake BLH-A and 25 cm length from lake BLH-B.Environmental 137 Cs and 210 Pb and radiocarbon age dating techniques were applied to the 50 cm and 25 cm samples,respectively.The results indicate that the initiation of BLH-A is about 800-900 a B.P.,and approximately 1,450±30 a B.P.to 2,230±30 a B.P.for BLH-B.These results will provide scientific bases for sedimentological study and thermokarst activity in Beiluhe Basin.     

延安地区大气中PM_(10)浓度水平及其变化特征

利用延安地区2006—2008年大气中可吸入颗粒物PM10的监测资料,分析了PM10的浓度水平、变化规律及其影响因素。延安地区PM10的年平均浓度为153μg/m3,超过国家环境空气质量标准年平均值2级浓度限值70μg/m3的1倍多,这与当地高的PM10区域背景水平(平均值为109μg/m3)紧密相关。PM10质量浓度水平具有明显的季节性,春季最高,冬秋其次,夏季最低。PM10日均值浓度超过国家环境空气质量2级标准的日数占全年的40%,其中春季达66%。PM10质量浓度日变化呈明显的双峰双谷型特征,与风速的日变化有明显的反相关关系。1mm降水量对PM10的湿清除能力按冬、春、秋、夏依次递减。延安地区出现西风或偏西风时PM10平均质量浓度高,但就累积影响而言,处于主导风向上的西南风要比其他方向高40~50μg/m3左右。     

绵阳市度日数特征及其变化趋势分析

从20世纪50年代以来,度日数一直作为气候变化与供暖关系的一个综合评价指标。基于全球变暖可能对我国供暖天数和温度产生深刻的影响,本文采用绵阳市1946~2005年共49年的日最低、最高气温资料,分析了绵阳市度日数年变化特征,并对其进行了趋势分析。结果表明:绵阳市历年供暖度日数最小值处于1998年,比1976年最大值低93.5%,10a年均供暖度日数变化趋势为二次曲线;制冷度日数波动性很大,1960~1979年在1500℃·d左右波动,1979~1990年在1400℃·d左右波动,1990年以后基本处于1500℃·d以上,10a年均制冷度日数拟合趋势曲线为三次曲线。基于Mann-Kendall(M-K)检验法,在α=0.05水平下,对绵阳市供暖和制冷度日数进行检验,研究发现:供暖度日数明显减少,1992年为突变起始年份;制冷度日数波动增长,且自1997年起突变。
