Molecular fossil and paleovegetation records of paleosol S4 and adjacent loess layers in the Luochuan loess section, NW China

Using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique, a series of biomarkers were identi- fied, including n-alkanes, n-alkane-2-ones, isoprenoid etc. from the loess-paleosol samples collected from the S4 and adjacent L5, L4 of the Luochuan loess section, Northwestern China. Based on these data, especially n-alkanes and high-resolution magnetic susceptibility and grain size data, the pa- leoenvironment and paleovegetation history during S4 was reconstructed. The CPI (Carbon Predomi- nance Index) and correlation between n-alkanes and magnetic susceptibility and grain size data dem- onstrated that the molecular fossils in paleosol and loess layers can reflect the vegetation condition during the loess-paleosol formation, if the allochthonous organic inputs could be excluded reasonably. The ACL (average chain length) index is correlated well with paleomagnetic susceptibility and grain size variations, displaying their good synchrony with warm and humid climate. However, it relatively lagged behind the paleomagnetic susceptibility and the grain size variations when the climate began to deteriorate. During the formation period of paleosol, the n-alkanes was dominated by C31 homologue, indicating that the primary organic input originated from herbs. Our study also demonstrated that the herbs were more flourish than wood plants in Loess Plateau, especially in the Luochuan area during the warm and humid phase, and there was no typical forest vegetation developed in the studied period.     

不同形式的断层土壤气集气装置对气氡观测结果影响的实验研究

任何一项观测都要在一定的条件下进行,不同的观测条件会产生不同的观测结果。在断层土壤气实际观测中,由于观测装置的集气室安装方式不同形成了不同形式的集气装置,而不同形式的集气装置会对气氡观测结果产生不同影响。本文就不同形式的断层土壤气集气装置对气氡观测结果的影响进行了实验研究。结果表明,集气室滞留体积对观测结果影响较大,集气室不可保留滞留体积,应控制导气管的长度和粗细,尽量减少导气管产生的滞留体积对观测结果造成影响。集气室死体积对观测结果影响不大,可保留集气室死体积。模拟观测和数字化观测应使用不同模式的集气装置。

通过分析华北地区强震地形变及重务前兆特征,发现震前在较大范围内存在与构造密切相关的动力不过程;在震中区介质状态发生变化。在此基础上提出了改进的组合－硬化模式：调整单元的运动,牵动较大范围构造运动的加及断层两侧深层介质密度变化;应力集中单元由于能量的不断积累,介质出现硬化过程。上述机理形成了前兆的各个阶段。     

新的高原季风指数与四川盆地夏季降水的关系

用NCEP/NCAR逐月再分析资料和中国560站月降水资料,定义了一个高原季风指数IPM2。结果表明:与原有高原季风指数相比,该指数与四川盆地夏季降水的相关性更好,能够较好地反映四川盆地夏季降水的异常变化。当高原夏季风偏弱时,巴尔喀什湖至贝加尔湖低压槽、亚洲东岸高压脊、印度低压均加强,同时西太平洋副热带高压偏北,来自孟加拉湾的西南风水汽输送和源于西太平洋的偏南风水汽输送均加强,这种环流形式有利于四川盆地西(东)部夏季降水偏多(少);当高原夏季风偏强时,情况相反。IPM2弱(强)大(小)年与四川盆地西(东)部涝年环流背景相似,表明IPM2能够很好反映四川盆地夏季降水异常的环流场特征。     

第三空间还是无限场景:新零售的区位选择与影响因素研究

随着互联网、人工智能等技术的渗透,新零售这一城市新兴商业业态的发展对区位产生了差异化的选择。论文以星巴克和瑞幸咖啡为例,采用空间最邻近指数、核密度分析,比较上海传统零售与新零售在空间布局上的不同特征,并采用空间计量模型,进一步探究两者在区位选择因素上的差异。结果显示:①瑞幸和星巴克门店的空间布局在市域尺度上均具有明显的中心指向,但也存在差异。作为新零售的代表,瑞幸在城市各圈层的分布更为均质,不如传统零售星巴克强调城市中心区位。②传统零售与新零售具有相似性和差异性布局特征,全局而言,瑞幸的聚集程度高于星巴克。而在城市的中心区域,传统零售呈现单中心集聚特征,新零售则呈现多中心分散特征,远不如传统零售聚集。③新零售与传统零售的选址因素存在较大的差异。传统零售星巴克与商场密度有高度显著的相关性,具有商业中心偏好,而影响瑞幸咖啡选址最重要的因素是写字楼密度,且商场租金对其呈负向影响,新零售瑞幸咖啡对商务办公区域的偏好超过商业中心。     

Chemical indexes of Paleoproterozoic sedimentary rocks from Liaohe Group,North China Craton:Implications for paleoclimate and provenance

Paleoproterozoic supracrustal materials have been widely identified in North China Craton, such as the Liaohe-, Hutuo-and Lyuliang groups. The Liaohe Group in the eastern part of the North China Craton is dominated by deformed and metamorphosed sedimentary and volcanic successions. Compared with that of the coeval volcanic rocks, geochemistry of the sedimentary rocks from the Liaohe Group has rarely been studied in detail, which can possibly provide information on the paleoclimate and provenance. The authors analyzed the whole-rock and detrital zircon geochemistry of sedimentary rocks from the Liaohe Group against a uniform process and proposed their different ways of paleoweathering of the lower and upper formations. That is to say, although the lower and upper formations within the Liaohe Group might be derived from the similar source composition in a tectonically active setting, the paleoclimate that they experienced was not exactly the same. The predominant derivations are the Paleoproterozoic granitoids and basalts within the Liaohe Group, with minor input of Archean continental crust. This study highlights the contributions of the Paleoproterozoic mafic sources, which has been generally overlooked in the previous researches.     

基于光合有效辐射的西北太平洋柔鱼资源丰度和空间分布变动研究

光合有效辐射(PAR)对于海洋初级生产力具有显著的调控作用,会间接影响到头足类的资源丰度和渔场分布。本文根据2006−2015年上海海洋大学鱿钓科学技术组提供的柔鱼鱿钓数据和光合有效辐射卫星遥感数据,研究了光合有效辐射与西北太平洋柔鱼种群的关系,并评估了异常环境条件下光合有效辐射对柔鱼的影响。结果发现,柔鱼单位捕捞努力量渔获量(CPUE)、渔场纬度重心、PAR,及其空间分布均具有显著的月间变化。7−11月各月适宜PAR范围分别为36～39 E/(m²·d)、33～36 E/(m²·d)、24～27 E/(m²·d)、18 E/(m²·d)和12 E/(m²·d),最适宜PAR值分别为36 E/(m²·d)、33 E/(m²·d)、27 E/(m²·d)、18 E/(m²·d)和12 E/(m²·d)。此外,CPUE与PAR有显著正相关关系(p<0.05),且CPUE与各月适宜PAR范围占渔场比例也呈显著正相关(p<0.05);同时渔场纬度重心随各月最适PAR平均纬度变化而变化。在异常环境条件下,拉尼娜年份CPUE值比厄尔尼诺年份高,该年份PAR值异常增高可能是导致柔鱼资源丰度增加的因素之一。研究表明,光合有效辐射对于西北太平洋柔鱼资源丰度和空间分布具有显著影响。

Site selection in municipal solid waste management with extended VIKOR method under fuzzy environment

Nowadays, selection of the suitable disposal site in municipal solid waste (MSW) management has become a challenge task for the municipal authorities, especially in fast-growing areas. Site selection can be viewed as a complicated multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem requiring consideration of multiple alternative solutions and conflicting quantitative and qualitative criteria. In this paper, linguistic variables, which can be expressed as trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, are used to assess the ratings and weights for the selection criteria. The ordered weighted averaging operator is utilized to transform the fuzzy decision matrix into crisp values considering the decision maker’s attitudinal character. For selecting the best site, the extended VIsekriterijumska optimizacija i KOmpromisno Resenje (VIKOR) method is applied to determine the priority ranking of alternatives. As a result, a hierarchy MCDM model based on fuzzy set theory and VIKOR method is proposed to deal with the site selection problems in the MSW management system. An empirical study in Shanghai, China, is provided and comparison with the existing approach is conducted to illustrate the applicability and benefits of the proposed method.     

The role of mindanao dome in the variability of the Pacific North equatorial current bifurcation

The Mindanao Dome (MD) features prominent oceanic variability and is located geographically close to the bifurcation latitude Y _b of the Pacific North Equatorial Current. In this study, the role of the MD in the variability of Y _b is examined with 20 years of satellite altimetric sea surface height (SSH) data and a 1.5-layer linear Rossby wave model. It is shown that the seasonal variations of surface Y _b are related to not only the SSH fluctuations near the bifurcation point (bifurcation box; 125°–130°E, 12°–15°N) but also those outstanding in the MD region (MD box; 127°–132°E, 6°–9°N). The impact of the MD SSH changes is significant when the bifurcation point stays at southerly latitudes during February–September, which hinders (delays) the southward leap (northward retreat) of Y _b in April–May (July–August) and thus leads to the asymmetry of the mean Y _b seasonal cycle (with a positive skewness of γ = +0.64). Such asymmetry also shows year-to-year variations depending on yearly mean Y _b value. A southerly yearly mean Y _b involves larger contribution of the MD and thus causes larger asymmetry of Y _b seasonal cycle. At interannual and longer timescales, the MD acts to amplify the fluctuations of the bifurcation. It is responsible for about 20 % of the total low-frequency Y _b variances and plays an important role in the 0.12° year^?1 southward trend of Y _b in the past two decades. The impact of the MD on Y _b changes is becoming increasingly significant at various timescales such as the bifurcation point migrating southward in recent years.
