A Qualitative Appraisal of China’s Efforts in Fishing Capacity Management

I Introduction Many of the world’s commercially important fishstocks are overexploited and some are even depleted(FAO 1997, 2005). Overcapacity is considered to be amain factor leading to such a tragedy (FAO, 1999). Con-sequently, the existence of excess capacity has been sin-gled out by FAO (1995, 1998, 1999) as a matter of grow-ing concern over the last decades or so. This represents amajor shift in the fishery policy at the international level,from focusing almost exclusively on the is…

冲绳海槽中部Jade热液活动区中块状硫化物的稀土元素地球化学特征

用ICP－MS对冲绳海槽Jade热液活动区中6个块状硫化物样品进行了稀土元素分析。除一个样品表现出极微弱的正Eu异常外(δEu=1.09)，其他样品均表现出负Eu异常(δEu=0.58-0.71)和LREE相对富集((La/Yb)N=1.29-47.87)的球粒陨石标准化配分模式。块状硫化物样品之间稀土元素组成的变化是由于热液流体－岩石的相互作用以及海水和热液流体不同程度混合的结果，与深海沉积物，火山岩和海水稀土元素配分模式对比，表明块状硫休物的REE部分来自沉积物和火山岩，海水的混合作用对块状硫化物的REE配分模式具有一定的影响。海底热液硫化物稀土元素组成的变化可以一定程度的反映在出热液流体的演化特征。     

Semi-Active Control of Wave-Induced Vibration for Offshore Platforms by Use of MR Damper

The objective of the present research is to examine the effectiveness of the lateral vibration control of wave-excited re-sponse of offshore platforms with magnelo-rheological (MR) damper, In this study, the offshore platform is simplified to be a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system by extracting the first vibration mode of the struclure. The exlernal 'generalized' wave force is determined with a white noise via a designed filler. A semi-active control method based on optimal control the-ory is proposed considering that the yield stress of the MR damper can be varied continuously within a certain range. The dy-namics of SDOF structure coupled with the MR damper is investigated. Numerical simulation demonstrates that the MR damper with this control strategy can significantly reduce the maximum responses and the root-mean-square (RMS) values.     

Experimental Study on the Armor Grate Plate of Sloping Breakwater Under the Action of Irregular Waves

The irregular wave experiment on the stability of the Grate Plate was carried out in the lightof the wind wave spectrum recently advanced by Prof.Wen Shengchang.The stability formulas of GP un-der the action of irregular waves were procured.Comparisons between the formulas obtained and those ofGP under regular waves advanced by the first author in 1993 showed a coincident result.     

The Mechanism Analysis of Seafloor Silt Liquefaction Under Wave Loading

The sediment in Chengbei area of the Huanghe (Yellow River) subaqueous delta is the object of a reseach project in this article. The accumulating and dissipating effects following the change of time are considered first in the study area and the distributing curves of excess pore water pressure along with time and depth in the soil stratum are gained; the possibility of silt liquefaction is evaluated using the computing values and the affecting depth of liquefaction is given. This paper quantitatively analyzes the dynamic response of seafloor soil under the cyclic loading of waves and makes an inquiry into the instable mechanism of soil.

不同时间尺度系统对热带太平洋海-气潜热通量贡献的估计

对热带太平洋不同尺度系统对海洋大气之间潜热通量的贡献进行了计算分析。分析使用了Launianen和Vihma(1990)依据相似理论编写的计算软件和TOGA-TAO观测资料。通过分析发现，小尺度系统对热量通量没有太多的影响；天气尺度系统在赤道西太平洋对热量通量的影响较大；天气尺度系统对热量通量的贡献在赤道外地区要比在赤道地区大。分析还发现，在厄尔尼诺年赤道中太平洋地区天气尺度系统对热量通量的贡献较大，这意味着赤道中太平洋天气尺度系统的活动对触发厄尔尼诺事件可能具有重要的影响。
