A modified domain reduction method for numerical simulation of wave propagation in localized regions

A modified domain reduction method(MDRM) that introduces damping terms to the original DRM is presented in this paper. To verify the proposed MDRM and compare the computational accuracy of these two methods, a numerical test is designed. The numerical results of the MDRM and DRM are compared using an extended meshed model. The results show that the MDRM significantly improved the computational accuracy of the DRM. Then, the MDRM is compared with two existing conventional methods, namely Liao's transmitting boundary and viscous-spring boundary with Liu's method. The MDRM shows its great advancement in computational accuracy, stability and range of applications. This paper also discusses the influence of boundary location on computational accuracy. It can be concluded that smaller models tend to have larger errors. By introducing two dimensionless parameters, φ_1 and φ_2, the rational distance between the observation point and the MDRM boundary is suggested. When φ_1 2 or φ_213, the relative PGA error can be limited to 5%. In practice, the appropriate model size can be chosen based on these two parameters to achieve desired computational accuracy.     

Seismic effectiveness of tuned mass dampers considering soil–structure interaction

This paper presents how soil–structure interaction affects the seismic performance of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMD) when installed on flexibly based structures. Previous studies on this subject have led to inconsistent conclusions since the soil and structure models employed considerably differ from each other. A generic frequency-independent model is used in this paper to represent a general soil–structure system, whose parameters cover a wide spectrum of soil and structural characteristics. The model structure is subjected to a stationary random excitation and the root-mean-square responses of engineering interest are used to measure the TMD's performance. Extensive parametric studies have shown that strong soil–structure interaction significantly defeats the seismic effectiveness of TMD systems. As the soil shear wave velocity decreases, TMD systems become less effective in reducing the maximum response of structures. For a structure resting on soft soil, the TMD system can hardly reduce the structural seismic response due to the high damping characteristics of soil–structure systems. The model structure is further subjected to the NS component of the 1940 El Centro, California earthquake to confirm the TMD's performance in a more realistic environment.

乌江磷浓度与通量变化及来源解析

磷(P)是长江流域备受关注的污染物。乌江是长江八大支流之一,位于三峡水库近库尾江段。武隆断面是乌江入长江控制断面。对1998—2019时期武隆断面径流量、悬浮泥沙浓度(SS)与输沙量、磷浓度与通量(包括总磷(TP)、溶解态磷(DP)和颗粒态磷(PP))年际变化及季节特征进行研究,并基于河流基流分割原理对磷的来源进行了解析。结果表明,(1)1998—2019年,乌江武隆断面径流量在一定幅度内上下波动,而悬浮泥沙浓度和输沙量下降剧烈。(2)22年来,乌江TP和DP浓度与通量总体上呈先升高后下降的趋势,2009—2013年为磷污染峰值期,TP和DP浓度与通量远高于其它时期。(3)2007年是一个重要的时间节点,该节点前,TP的赋存形态以颗粒态为主,颗粒态磷在总磷中的占比均值为65%;该节点后,TP的赋存形态转变为以溶解态为主,颗粒态磷占比均值下降为16%,相应地,溶解态磷占比由35%上升为84%。水沙条件改变是磷形态发生显著变化的主要驱动力,磷污染程度亦是磷形态变化的重要影响因素。(4)磷通量在年内的季节分布发生了显著变化,丰水期磷通量减少,枯水期磷通量增加。(5)1998—2012、2009—2013和2014—2019年3个时期点源负荷占比分别为23.5%、36.8%和62.1%,呈增加趋势。(6)建议制定适宜的总磷控制目标,结合目前所存在的磷污染风险点,进一步强化监管,侧重源头治理。     

天绘一号卫星影像的平原绿化提取方法

平原绿化是我国平原地区森林植被的主体,为生态环境建设提供了有力保障。但平原绿化分布零散,斑块面积小,不易被准确提取。本文以河南省封丘县为例,利用天绘一号卫星影像面向对象分类技术提取了平原绿化。在面向对象分类过程中,针对不同平原绿化信息选取不同的分割尺度和参数,建立影像对象的分割层次结构,确保农田林网、通道防护林、四旁防护林等平原绿化信息能够被准确分割。分类时通过构建隶属度函数,利用层与层之间的关系,子类继承父类的分类特征,在此基础上增加自己的特征,建立分类规则集,逐层提取绿化信息。本文共获取封丘县平原绿化面积152.51 km²,其中,农田林网36.09 km²,通道防护林21.29 km²,四旁防护林71.56 km²,片林23.57 km²。利用验证点数据,对分类结果进行精度评价,总体分类精度为93.50%,Kappa系数达到0.92。     

川滇地区重力异常的小波分解与解释

利用小波变换方法对四川云南及周围地区的布格重力异常进行分解. 在计算中选用具有正交完备性并有较好对称性及较高消失矩的小波函数把重力异常分解为两部分. 用功率谱方法对分解后异常进行分析,可知其分别表示地壳内部和更深部的密度变化. 两部分异常显示出川滇地区深部与浅部的构造差异. 浅层重力异常的密度填图表明:① 四川盆地地壳密度较高,松潘——甘孜造山带密度较低;② 康滇菱形块体的密度是不均匀的;③ 康滇菱形块体的边界断裂具有不同的密度特征,显示出不同的构造性质. 深部重力异常的密度填图显示出与浅部相似而又不同的密度分布特征,表明川滇地区浅部与深部构造作用有所不同,两者之间可能是不完全解耦关系. 本文结果还表明,地震分布不仅受断裂构造控制,也与深部密度变化有关.

Genetic diversity and population structure of Eleutheronema rhadinum in the East and South China Seas revealed in mitochondrial COI sequences

Eleutheronema rhadinum is a potential commercial fisheries species and is subject to intense exploitation in China. Knowledge on the population structure of E. rhadinum in Chinese coastal waters, which is important for sustainable exploitation and proper resource management, is lacking. In the present study, the genetic diversity and population structure of E. rhadinum were evaluated using a 564-base pair fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I （COl） gene. A total of 76 specimens were collected from three localities around the East （Qidong and Zhoushan） and South China Seas （Zhuhai）. Among these individuals, nine polymorphic sites were detected and 1 l distinct haplotypes were defined. High levels ofhaplotype diversity （h=0.759i0.035） and low levels of nucleotide diversity （re=0.001 98i0.003 26） were observed in these populations, Hierarchical analysis of molecular variance （AMOVA） indicated that 96.72% of the genetic variation occurred within the populations, whereas 3.28% occurred among populations. No significant genealogical branches or clusters were recognized on the neighbor-joining tree. Intra-group variation among populations was significant （~0~t=0.032 85, P〈0.01）. These results suggest that E. rhadinum populations in the East and South China Seas have developed divergent genetic structures. Tests of neutral evolution and mismatch distribution suggest that E. rhadinum may have experienced a population expansion. The present study provides basic information for the conservation and sustainable exploitation of this species.     

A methodology to estimate the maximum offset and reflection imaging radius for a 2D/3D vertical seismic profiling survey

We have developed a straightforward and ray based methodology to estimate both the maximum offset and reflection imaging radius for multi‐layered velocity models, which can be used for a 2D/3D VSP survey design. Through numerical examples, we demonstrate that the presence of a high‐velocity layer above a target zone significantly reduces the maximum offset and reflection imaging radius. Our numerical examples also show that including in a migration VSP data acquired beyond a recommended maximum offset, radically degrades the quality of the final VSP image. In addition, unlike the conventional straight‐line based approximation that often produces an incorrect large reflection imaging radius, our methodology predicts the VSP imaging radius with more accuracy than does the conventional approximation.

超高层建筑施工中常采用激光投点仪向上传递地面控制点作为测量基准。为了避免投点误差过大,本文采用BDS+GPS技术进行组网监测其投点精度,给出了超高层建筑BDS+GPS监测相应的数据处理策略,对比分析了BDS、GPS及组合BDS+GPS 3系统之间,以及与激光投点前地面点坐标之间的差异。结果表明,GPS和BDS+GPS组合系统定位精度相当,BDS定位性能稍差,但满足超高层监测精度要求,利用北斗技术进行超高层建筑基准传递工作具有一定可行性。     

后“哥本哈根”时代的全球环境治理走向

2009年的哥本哈根世界气候大会并没有因为全球的关注和参与而成绩斐然。恰恰相反,因为美国的高调介入,它没有达成实质性的全球气候协议。这可能预示着后"哥本哈根"时代全球环境治理模式的到来:美国所倡导的"自下而上"的温室减排模式取代欧盟所倡导的"自上而下"的温室减排模式;以注重成本效益的经济减排模式取代风险预防的政治减排模式。世界也许将滑向一个容易但危险的方向。
