Pauperizing the pastoral periphery: the marginalization of herding communities in the world's dry lands

Environmental degradation and other socio-economic problems are too often discerned in contemporary pastoral systems in the wake of global economic change. This paper identifies cases where pastoral people respond to external pressures and opportunities in positive ways and adapt to changes. We hope that by doing this a framework of pastoral adaptations can be developed. The first part of this paper focuses on impacts of global economic change, which are mostly negative in nature. Through an extensive literature search in geography, anthropology, range management, and development field, the second part introduces cases that we categorize as positive adaptations.     

冀北发现具鬣刺结构的超基性岩

冀北具鬣刺结构的超基性岩呈透镜状，产于华北克拉通北缘的早元古宙红旗营子群黑云斜长片麻岩之中。富MgO，贫CaO，A12O3和FeO*＝0．86，TiO2介于0．01％-0．02％之间，与SSZ型蛇绿岩中相应岩石的TiO2含量相当。原始地幔标准化的过渡元素配分型式表现为不对称的“W”型，在TiO2和Cu处形成两个明显的负异常“谷”。据此地球化学特征意味着它们可能来自于消减带之下上地幔，为上地幔高度部分熔融的残余物。岩石中鬣刺结构可能是叶蛇纹石高压分解的结果，表明研究区某些变质橄榄岩岩块曾经受过俯冲—消减作用。

乌鲁木齐10号泉流量变化的多尺度小波分析与异常识别

结合10号泉开始观测以来的震例，利用基于小波分析的多尺度分析原理对乌鲁木齐10泉流量的日均值观测序列进行了分析，总结了10号泉流量多尺度分析结果的映震特征。10号泉流量的地震前兆异常绝大多数是高值异常且具有较好的重复性，即一般都是在高值异常结束后几个月之内发生地震，个别情况下地震会发生在高值异常持续时段内。初步可以认定，利用基于小波变换的多尺度分析原理将流量数据分解成若干频段后，能够较好地识别和提取流量原始测值中不易分辨的震前异常。

原子荧光光谱法测定化探样品时有机质对As,Sb,Bi的干扰

通过研究黑龙江省森林沼泽景观区有机水系沉积物（泥炭）、土壤中As,Sb,Bi的测定结果，发现样品中的有机质对王水消解氢化物原子荧光法测定上述元素存在极大的干扰，提出采用低温（＜450℃）灰化处理可完全消除干扰。对比研究还发现，过去森林沼泽景观区的区域化探扫面资料中的As,Sb,Bi数据存在问题，应专门对其进行评价研究。     

System identification of linear structures based on Hilbert–Huang spectral analysis. Part 2: Complex modes

A method, based on the Hilbert–Huang spectral analysis, has been proposed by the authors to identify linear structures in which normal modes exist (i.e., real eigenvalues and eigenvectors). Frequently, all the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of linear structures are complex. In this paper, the method is extended further to identify general linear structures with complex modes using the free vibration response data polluted by noise. Measured response signals are first decomposed into modal responses using the method of Empirical Mode Decomposition with intermittency criteria. Each modal response contains the contribution of a complex conjugate pair of modes with a unique frequency and a damping ratio. Then, each modal response is decomposed in the frequency–time domain to yield instantaneous phase angle and amplitude using the Hilbert transform. Based on a single measurement of the impulse response time history at one appropriate location, the complex eigenvalues of the linear structure can be identified using a simple analysis procedure. When the response time histories are measured at all locations, the proposed methodology is capable of identifying the complex mode shapes as well as the mass, damping and stiffness matrices of the structure. The effectiveness and accuracy of the method presented are illustrated through numerical simulations. It is demonstrated that dynamic characteristics of linear structures with complex modes can be identified effectively using the proposed method. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
