Target setting and allocation of carbon emissions abatement based on DEA and closest target: an application to 20 APEC economies

Regarded as an effective method for treating the global warming problem, carbon emissions abatement (CEA) allocation has become a hot research topic and has drawn great attention recently. However, the traditional CEA allocation methods generally set efficient targets for the decision-making units (DMUs) using the farthest targets, which neglects the DMUs’ unwillingness to maximize (minimize) some of their inputs (outputs). In addition, the total CEA level is usually subjectively determined without any consideration of the current carbon emission situations of the DMUs. To surmount these deficiencies, we incorporate data envelopment analysis and its closest target technique into the CEA allocation problem. Firstly, a two-stage approach is proposed for setting the optimal total CEA level for the DMUs. Then, another two-stage approach is given for allocating the identified optimal total CEA among the DMUs. Our approach provides more flexibility when setting new input and output targets for the DMUs in CEA allocation. Finally, the proposed approaches are applied for CEA target setting and allocation for 20 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation economies.

     

长江经济带开发区空间分布与产业集聚特征研究

采用最近邻指数、Ripley’s L函数、核密度估计等方法分析长江经济带开发区的空间分布与产业集聚特征,结果表明:①长江经济带开发区总体上呈东密西疏、东强西弱、东中西段分异的显著集聚分布特征;②基于主导产业划分的各类开发区在空间上均为集聚分布,集聚强度和规模随距离的增加基本都呈"先增加后减小"的规律,集聚形态各异,主要有"单核心""双核心""多核心"3种;③长江经济带东段地区主要以装备制造、通信电子、汽车制造、新材料、生物医药等资本技术密集型产业集聚为主,中、西段地区则集聚了化学工业、金属加工、食品制造、纺织服装等资本与劳动密集型产业。要加强经济带上中下游开发区之间的多维良性互动,注重绿色发展、创新发展与结构优化,进一步提升其对长江经济带高质量发展的引领与支撑作用。     

平江万古金矿床地球化学研究

平江万古金矿床，成矿物质来源于容矿地层中元古界冷家溪群坪原组，矿床继承了容矿地层富Ａｓ、Ｓｂ、Ｗ等微量元素的特点，成矿流体为与区域浅变质作用有关的ＨＣＯ＿３－－Ｃｌ－－Ｎａ￣＋－Ｃａ￣（２＋）型建造水热液，成矿过程中Ａｕ主要以ＡｕＡｓＳ＿２、ＡｕＡｓＳ＿３￣（２－）络合物形式迁移，矿床形成于中一低温，弱碱性、还原环境。     

浙江八面山萤石矿床流体包裹体地球化学研究

八面山萤石矿床流体包裹体可分为三大类型:Ⅰ气液包裹体,Ⅱ气体包裹体,Ⅲ含子矿物的多相包裹体;矿床成矿温度变化不大,主要集中在120～240°C之间。细粒条带状萤石矿石包裹体温度变化在115～250℃之间;巨晶块状萤石矿石和石英脉型萤石矿石包裹体温度集中在135～170℃之间。萤石矿床流体包裹体以低盐度成矿流体为主。成矿过程中起作用的成矿流体为KCl-H2O体系和CO2-CaF2-H2O体系,成矿溶液的离子类型属K+-Ca2+-HCO--F-型,KCl-H2O体系反映岩浆期后热液作用的结果,而CO2-CaF2-H2O体系可能反映了寒武纪矿源层成矿体系。通过包裹体研究,认为八面山萤石矿床是受地层-岩体-层间断裂共同控制"三位一体"的热液成因矿床。     

Different Generating Mechanisms for the Summer Surface Cold Patches in the Yellow Sea

ABSTRACT

It has been frequently observed that there are surface cold patches (SCPs) in the Yellow Sea in summer. Although previous studies based on monthly mean temperature distribution found that these SCPs are a result of tidal mixing and tide-induced upwelling, tidal mixing and upwelling alone cannot explain all the occurrences. In our study we found that the three typical patches, namely, the Shandong SCP, the Subei SCP, and the Mokpo SCP, have different temporal patterns over a spring–neap tidal cycle; hence, they have different generating mechanisms. Based on a multiple-year simulation, the latter two show conspicuous spring–neap variations. The highest temperature occurs during the neap tide phase (about two days after a quarter moon). Because of weak upwelling and mixing, strong stratification is established and the SCPs are suppressed or even disappear. The opposite holds for the spring tide phase (about two days after a new or full moon). This is quite different from the Shandong SCP, which does not display a distinct difference between spring and neap tides. Buoy observations and composite analyses with data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) further support this conclusion.
