The non-agricultural economy in post-socialist rural Romania: The insights and perceptions of national, regional and local institutions

This study evaluates some aspects of the socio-economic transformation of rural Romania with reference to the views of representative organisations (at national, regional and local levels) and other experts. Interviews conducted in ten communes of nine Romanian counties (‘judete’) focus attention on the advantages and disadvantages of system change experienced since 1989; the most important problems and constraints for future socio-economic change; and appropriate policies and perspectives for development in the immediate future. Wherever appropriate the claims of interviewees are substantiated through reference to statistics, drawn in many cases from Chambers of Commerce & Industry (CCI). Local level representatives presented much more negative views on recent change than their national and regional level counterparts, but all agreed on the crucial problem of capital shortage. Thus while specific programmes to assist rural areas are justified, they cannot fully succeed until the national economy is able to grow more rapidly and attract greater foreign investment.

Identity building and social transformation: the cases of Namibia and Botswana compared

Namibia and Botswana differ from other sub-Saharan nations in their record of stable political performance. However, both countries have to face increasing social problems. In the case of Namibia these are still mainly related to the process of post-apartheid national reconciliation and identity building, in the case of Botswana they refer to issues of growing tribal tensions and of a gradual interior restructuring of society. This paper analyzes the various patterns of social transformation in the two countries and examines in what ways state-society relations are different from other African nations.

Mesozoic Granitoid Types and Metallogeny of the East China Circum-Pacific Continental Margin

Abstract: This paper synthesizes the geotectonic background, genetic types and metallogenetic relations of the Mesozoic granitoids in the East China continental margin. By the Mesozoic, the Siberia Plate, North China Plate and South China Plate amalgamated together, resulting in formation of a unified Eurasia super–continent. Since the late Triassic to early Jurassic period, the territory of East China gradually became a Cordilleran style active continental margin. During the Jurassic to early Cretaceous (early to middle episodes of Yanshanian orogeny), the Paleo-Pacific plate strongly collided with and subducted under the Eurasia continent, reactivated the consolidated East China continental margin. The granitoids of both transformation series and syntexis series were generated. Many granitoid-related large and giant metal deposits were formed. Furthermore, the W, Sn, Be, Nb, Ta and U mineralizations are mostly associated with the transformation series; while the Fe, Cu, Mo and Au mineralizations are mostly associated with the syntexis series. The late Yanshanian orogeny (late Cretaceous) began a transition to the western Pacific style continental margin. A tensional environment resulted in development of alkaline granitoids and formation of continental red basins. The Cenozoic orogeny was characterized by a backarc spreading and rifting regime in this region.     

Theoretical analysis of telluric anomaly of a basin structure

The solution of a boundary value problem modelling a two-dimensional basin structure has been obtained by using the Schwartz-Christoffel conformal transformation technique and numerical methods of solving non-linear differential equations. Utilizing this solution, the telluric field and its first horizontal derivative have been theoretically computed for field directions perpendicular to the strike of the structure. On the basis of systematic analysis of a large number of such anomaly curves, two nomograms have been prepared to be used in the quantitative interpretation of telluric data. An interpretation procedure to evaluate the geometric parameters of the basin from the observed telluric data is outlined. This procedure is demonstrated on an actual field example.     

Application of linear and nonlinear techniques in river flow forecasting in the Kilombero River basin,Tanzania / Application de techniques linéaires et non-linéaires à la prévision des débits dans le bassin de la Rivière Kilombero,en Tanzanie

Abstract

Modelling of the rainfall–runoff transformation process and routing of river flows in the Kilombero River basin and its five sub-catchments within the Rufiji River basin in Tanzania was undertaken using three system (black-box) models—a simple linear model, a linear perturbation model and a linear varying gain factor model—in their linear transfer function forms. A lumped conceptual model—the soil moisture accounting and routing model—was also applied to the sub-catchments and the basin. The HEC-HMS model, which is a distributed model, was applied only to the entire Kilombero River basin. River discharge, rainfall and potential evaporation data were used as inputs to the appropriate models and it was observed that sometimes the system models performed better than complex hydrological models, especially in large catchments, illustrating the usefulness of using simple black-box models in datascarce situations.     

Assessing the benthic quality status of the Bohai Bay (China) with proposed modifications of M-AMBI

Multivariate AZTI's Marine Biotic Index (M-AMBI) was designed to indicate the ecological status of European coastal areas. Based upon samples collected from 2009 to 2012 in the Bohai Bay, we have tested the response of variations of M-AMBI, using biomass (M-BAMBI) in the calculations, with different transformations of the raw data. The results showed that the ecological quality of most areas in the study indicated by M-AMBI was from moderate to bad status with the worse status in the coastal areas, especially around the estuaries, harbors and outfalls, and better status in the offshore areas except the area close to oil platforms or disposal sites. Despite large variations in nature of the input data, all variations of M-AMBI gave similar spatial and temporal distribution patterns of the ecological status within the bay, and showed high correlation between them. The agreement of new ecological status obtained from all M-AMBI variations, which were calculated according to linear regression, was almost perfect. The benthic quality, assessed using different input data, could be related to human pressures in the bay, such as water discharges, land reclamation, dredged sediment and drilling cuts disposal sites. It seems that M-BAMBI were more effective than M-NABMI (M-AMBI calculated using abundance data) in indicating human pressures of the Bay. Finally, indices calculated with more severe transformations, such as presence/absence data, could not indicate the higher density of human pressures in the coastal areas of the north part of our study area, but those calculated using mild transformation (i.e., square root) did.

基于坐标转换的高铁平面精测网复测稳定性分析方法探讨

首先介绍了现有各级平面精测网复测稳定性分析的常规方法,然后结合GRP网中判别CPⅢ点稳定性的方法,尝试使用三参数坐标转换进行高铁平面精测网复测稳定性分析,最后以某高铁CPI控制网实测数据为例进行分析。结果表明,不能完全使用三参数坐标转换代替常规方法进行精测网的稳定性分析,但可在使用坐标转换后的点位残差进行稳定性评价时,结合常规法进行综合分析,可提高常规法分析判别效率。
