A scalable cyberinfrastructure solution to support big data management and multivariate visualization of time-series sensor observation data

This paper reports our research in developing a cyberinfrastructure platform to support multivariate visualization of data collected from distributed sensor network. Three new techniques were introduced in this platform: (1) a hybrid data caching strategy that takes advantages of a scalable and distributed time series database, OpenTSDB, to realize efficient data retrieval; (2) a hyper-dimensional data cube is established to map and translate multivariate and heterogeneous sensor data into a common data structure to support location-aware visual analysis; and (3) a data-driven visualization module is implemented to support interactive and dynamic visualization on a simulated virtual globe. A series of experiments were conducted to demonstrate the good runtime performance of the proposed system. We expect this work to make a major contribution to both the visualization building block development in cyberinfrastructure research and the advancement of visual presentation and analysis of sensor data in domain sciences.     

重矿物分析物源示踪方法研究进展

传统的重矿物分析是碎屑沉积物物源示踪的基本方法,具有费用便宜、物源信息全面等优点,还可以为单矿物物源示踪提供重要的背景信息,具有无可替代的作用.近年来,该方法在基础理论和技术上取得了一系列新进展,但尚缺乏系统的总结.对重矿物分析的研究进展和发展趋势进行了梳理,主要包括如下几个方面:①沉积物在搬运、沉积、成岩和暴露过程中,风化、水力分选、埋藏成岩等因素对重矿物的影响;②重矿物组合数据获取的方法(采样、前处理、粒径选择以及计数等)和应注意的问题;③如何进行重矿物数据分析、处理和应用,包括开展常用重矿物指标计算、偏差矫正和沉积物贡献量计算等;④重矿物分析方法的发展趋势.认为机器自动矿物识别以及重矿物分析与单矿物分析相结合是重矿物分析物源示踪方法的发展方向.     

资源型城市景观生态风险的时空分异:以乌海市为例

为探究大型露天煤矿开采对西北干旱荒漠区景观生态风险的影响,以及资源型城市转型背景下的时空动态,以资源衰退型的内蒙古自治区乌海市及周边县域为研究区,结合现有景观生态风险评价中的干扰度、脆弱度指标,增加受威胁指数来综合构建资源型城市景观生态风险评价框架。基于乌海市2005—2015年景观类型数据,从时间和空间上分析景观生态风险及其动态。结果显示:(1)2010—2015年景观类型之间转移相较于2005—2010年更剧烈,年变化强度分别为7.43%和3.44%,工矿用地与城市建设用地最活跃,但年增加强度减小。(2)林地、水域和湿地损失度先略增加后大幅度减小,其他土地和草地损失度呈增加趋势,工矿用地先减小后略增加;城市建设用地和工矿用地受威胁指数最大,其余类型的景观受威胁指数均有上升趋势,但其他土地、水域和湿地增加趋势逐渐减慢。(3)2005—2015年景观生态风险指数升高,空间分布总体呈西、中部高而南北低的格局,而不同等级风险区表现为低风险区由边缘向中心转移,而高风险区依托原有高风险区扩展。研究期风险区变化显著的是西部沙地高风险区,矿区东部其他土地因周围分布灌丛和草地,风险始终低于西部其他土地。根据不同风险等级中工矿用地的面积占比情况,将工矿用地占比控制在5%以内可达到控制总体景观生态风险的目的。研究为资源型城市通过合理的景观配置进行生态风险管控提供了依据。     

基于京津冀高密度地面观测网络的大气污染物浓度地面观测代表性误差估计

地面观测提供空间点的浓度信息,三维化学模式提供网格面的浓度信息,两者在进行对比验证或同化融合时会因为空间尺度不匹配引入误差,即观测代表性误差。本研究将大气污染地面国控监测站与区县监测站结合起来,获得了京津冀地区高密度地面观测数据,利用该数据首次对京津冀地区6项常规大气污染物（PM_2.5、PM₁₀、SO₂、NO₂、CO和O₃）的地面观测代表性误差进行了客观估计,并与Elbern et al.（2007）方法估计的代表性误差进行了对比。结果发现:两种方法对京津冀地区NO₂地面观测代表性误差估计非常接近,但Elbern et al.（2007）方法显著低估了SO₂、CO和O₃地面观测的代表性误差。在此基础上,我们对Elbern et al.（2007）方法及其误差特征参数进行了本地化修正,并增加了PM_2.5和PM₁₀的代表性误差特征参数,建立了京津冀大气污染地面观测代表性误差的客观估计方法。     

风成沉积地层化学元素记录的毛乌素沙地气候变化

毛乌素沙地位于东亚季风边缘区,是研究全球气候变化和沙漠变迁的理想场所。选取沙地东缘风成砂/古土壤/湖沼相沉积序列,以常量化学元素含量及比值变化揭示了全新世的气候变化。结果表明：常量化学元素氧化物含量在全剖面上呈SiO₂ > Al₂O₃ > K₂O > Na₂O > Fe₂O₃ > MgO > CaO,且在不同沉积相中含量存在差异;常量化学元素氧化物与<63 μm粉黏组分及磁化率的相关性分析显示,Al₂O₃、Fe₂O₃、MgO三者之间呈显著正相关性,且与粉黏组分、低频磁化率（X_lf）也呈显著正相关性,表明<63 μm粉黏组分、X_lf可以反映夏季风的强弱;全新世气候变化存在多次暖湿冷干波动,10.39 ka BP之前出现3次快速的气候颤动,表现为3层风成砂与3层湖沼相互层沉积,指示存在3次冬夏季风交替变化;10.39~9.34 ka BP、8.68~8.29 ka BP、2.72~1.34 ka BP为3次明显的冬季风势力增强、风沙活动加剧的相对冷干气候;在9.34~8.68 ka BP、8.29~2.72 ka BP、1.34~0.62 ka BP为3次明显的夏季风盛行、降水增多、生草成壤的相对暖湿气候;0.62 ka BP之后与现代气候状况相近。化学元素及其比值反映出毛乌素沙地具有千百年尺度的气候波动,并与北半球其他地区气候变化有着良好的对比。     

Pattern dynamics of thermal-environment effect during urbanization: A case study in Shenzhen City, China

The thermal-environment effect exists in the field of rapid urbanization.It has adverse effects on the urban atmosphere,regional climate,energy consumption,and public health.Shenzhen,a representative of rapidly urbanizing cities in China,was selected as a case for pattern dynamics analysis of the thermal environment.The surface temperature was acquired from the thermal infrared data of Landsat TM and ETM+ images in 1986,1995,and 2005 by Jiménez-Mu?oz and Sobrino’s generalized single-channel method,which was used in assessing the distribution and spatial patterns of the thermal environment.The relative thermal environment curve(RTC) was combined with Moran’s I analysis to assess the pattern dynamics of the thermal environment in different urbanization periods.Moran’s I index and the RTC represent a process of aggregation-fragmentation-aggregation,which shows the aggregation pattern of a decrease during the rapid urbanization period and then an increase during the steady urbanization period.High-temperature areas gradually expanded to a uniform and scattered distribution in the rapid urbanization period;while the high thermal-environment effect was gradually transformed into a steady spatial pattern in the stable urbanization period.To characterize the increasing development in this multiple-center city,we chose profiles along an urban-development axis.The results suggest that heat islands have expanded from internal urban to external urban areas.Four profiles were obtained showing differences in shape due to spatial differences in the process of development.

Effects of several immunostimulants on phenoloxidase and hemocytes of the crab Charybdis japonica

To investigate the stimulating effects of immunostimulants on the autogenous immunocompetence of crabs and the possible mechanisms involved, the immunostimulating effects of β-1,3-glucan, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), inactivated Vibrio harveyi and Vibrio anguillarum on phenoloxidase (PO) and hemocytes of Charybdis japonica were investigated in this study. It was found that the yields and the enzymatic activities of purified PO in C. japonica increased significantly after the crabs were treated with immunostimulants, while the unit enzymatic activities remained almost the same. After treatment with β-1,3-glucan and LPS, the amount of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and the number of mitochondria in both semigranular cells and granular cells increased greatly, and the number of cytoplasmic granules decreased but with enlarged volume. However, the corresponding characteristics of hyaline cells remained almost the same. On the other hand, the number of granules in semigranular cells decreased greatly, and the number of mitochondria of hyaline cells increased greatly, after treatment with inactivated vibrios. It may be concluded that the effect of polysaccharide immunostimulants on the innate immune system of C. japonica is different from that of inactivated vibrio immunostimulants. The immunity-enhancing mechanism of polysaccharides in crab autogenous immunocompetence is probably accomplished by the increased yields of PO and total PO activities, while that of inactivated vibrios is probably accomplished by the partially increased yields of PO and total PO activities as well as the significantly improved phagocytotic abilities of semigranular cells and hyaline cells.
