基于最多叶子生成树的中国航空网络轴辐结构构建

航空网络的轴辐 (Hub-Spoke) 结构是实现规模经济发展的重要交通运输网络结构,本文为此提出了一种全新的航空网络轴辐结构构建方法。该方法从图论和地理学的角度出发,引入地理距离约束,改进了传统的最多叶子生成树 (Maximum Leaf Spanning Tree) 算法,直接从现有的中国航空网络中抽取树形轴辐结构形成航空支线网络,然后选取支线网络中度前10的节点作为航空枢纽点,并将枢纽点之间在原图中的航线抽取为航空干线网络,最后将支线网络和干线网络合并形成中国航空网络的轴辐结构。在与相关研究的对比分析中,本文方法虽是从图论角度出发,但构建的中国航空轴辐结构符合实际地理环境,划分支线网络距离阈值的选择更加客观合理,所选的航空枢纽点地理意义更为明显,干支线网络的覆盖度更为全面。     

老龄化社会中的地方和非正式照护①——地理老年学最新研究进展

发达国家政策制定者和执行者正面临着一个重要问题,即如何照护身体衰弱的老年群体,以应对人均寿命延长给社会经济与福利带来的影响。当然寿命延长本身是人类取得的一个巨大成功。然而,预期寿命的增加也引发了老年人口尤其是高龄老人数量的增长,这些高龄老人面临疾病高发和工具性日常生活活动能力(Instrumental Activities of Daily Life, IADLs)下降的情况,而这种能力对保持他们晚年生活的独立和尊严非常重要。与此同时,政策和实践的重心已经从机构养老转为“就地养老”,即支持老年人尽可能长时间地住在自己家里。从概念上讲,这意味着之前由机构提供的服务和照护(care)将改为由家庭来提供,这样脆弱的老年人也可以得到来自家人、朋友和邻居的非正式照护。一方面,这意味着许多老年人能够享受到由家庭照护所带来的亲密感、安全感和情感支持;另一方面,家庭结构的变化,社区的衰落,以及经济紧缩时期保障和福利的大幅削减,造成越来越多的老年人要面对孤独、孤立及风险。于是,老年人的照护者、照护地点和照护方式,及老年人对这些因素的差异化体验,将成为对健康和老龄化研究感兴趣的地理学家越来越关心的问题。本文回顾了地理老年学对非正式照护和家庭研究的最新进展,指出该领域的工作对老年人口照护的多学科探讨具有重要贡献。

Recent progress in submarine geosciences in China

In China submarine geosciences represents a newly established discipline of oceanography, focusing on the oceanic lithosphere, and its interface with the hydrosphere and biosphere. Recently, supported by the National High Technology Research and Development Program and other high-tech development projects, significant progress has been made in the development of advanced technologies and equipment. This en- ables the scientists in China to carry out explorations of the international seabed area in the Pacific Ocean and on the Southwest Indian Ridge. In addition, they have been active in the research activities associated the mid-ocean ridges and western Pacific marginal seas. It is anticipated that this research field will continue to be highly fruitful in the near future.     

Using remote sensing technologies to enhance resource conservation and agricultural productivity in underutilized lands of South Asia

Satisfying the food demands of an ever-increasing population, preserving the natural resource base, and improving livelihoods are major challenges for South Asia. A large area of land in the Middle and Lower Gangetic Plains of South Asia remains either uncultivated or underused following the rice harvest in the kharif (wet) season. The area includes “rice-fallow,” estimated at 6.7 million ha, flood-prone riversides (“diara lands,” 2.4 million ha), waterlogged areas (4.9 million ha), and salt-affected soils (2.3 million ha). Bringing these lands under production could substantially improve the food supply and enhance livelihoods in the region. This paper describes a methodological case study that targeted resource-conserving technologies in underused lands of the Ballia District of eastern Uttar Pradesh (India) using multispectral remote-sensing images. Classification of temporal satellite data IRS-P6 in combination with Spot VGT 2 permitted the identification of all major categories of underused land during the post-rainy rabi/winter season, with an average accuracy of 89%. Based on three-year averages of field demonstrations, farmers gained an additional income of $63 ha⁻¹ by introducing raised beds in salt-affected soils; $140 and $800 ha⁻¹ by introducing deepwater rice varieties (monsoon) and boro rice (winter) in waterlogged areas; and $581 ha⁻¹ by introducing zero-till lentil (winter) in rain-fed fallow lowland. Timely wheat planting through zero-tillage implies an additional income of $147 ha⁻¹ and could increase wheat production by 35,000-65,000 tons in the district. The methodologies and technologies suggested in the study are applicable to more than 15 million ha of underutilized lands of the Indo-Gangetic Plains of South Asia. If the technologies are precisely applied, they can result in more than 3000 million US $ of additional income every year to these poverty prone areas.     

新疆快速更新循环数值预报系统预报能力检验评估

对新疆快速更新循环数值预报系统2009年1、12月和2010年1、4、7、10月份的降水量和气温进行了检验,并与不做同化的预报结果进行了对比,得到以下结果：（1）降水Ts评分北疆好于南疆,偏西好于偏东,其中北疆西部、北部、北疆沿天山一带、天山山区、南疆西部山区最好。漏报率的分布表现为北疆沿天山一带、天山山区较小,南疆、东疆较大。空报率的情况为：南疆、东疆普遍较高,北疆沿天山一带较低,其他地区居中。（2）典型个例检验发现降水落区预报有较好的参考价值,但大降水中心位置的预报能力不稳定,和田、巴州南部的空报现象比较突出。（3）温度预报准确率南疆、东疆总体偏低,北疆西部、北部较高,其他地区居中,个别山区站存在较大误差。（4）现行新疆快速更新循环数值预报系统的预报能力不比不采用同化高。     

冬季北极海冰与中国同期气温的关系

采用Hadley中心的海冰密集度资料和中国160站气温资料,对冬季北极海冰变化的主要模态进行了分析,定义了5个关键海区,重点讨论了冬季北极海冰异常与中国冬季气温的关系。结果表明,冬季北极海冰变化主要表现为第一模态,即太平洋、大西洋的海冰反位相分布。海冰变化的关键区域为区域Ⅰ巴伦支海、区域Ⅱ格陵兰海、区域Ⅲ戴维斯海峡、区域Ⅳ白令海以及区域Ⅴ鄂霍次克海。中国冬季平均气温、冬季最低气温、冬季最高气温均与北极关键海区的海冰异常有显著相关,但是与其对应的海区有所不同。

Analysis of tetrahedral and pentahedral key blocks in underground excavations

This paper presents a study the non-pyramidal key blocks of the rock mass. After a review of the Key Blocks Method (KBM), the study focuses on the analysis of key blocks formed by three and four discontinuity planes in underground excavations. The concept of non-pyramidal key blocks is described and their generation from a geometric operation called dislocation, thus determining the pentahedral key blocks that may be formed. To do so, the software program ASTUR (Analysis of the Support of Tunnels in Rock) was used, which develops a ubiquitous approach and allows the analysis of both pyramidal and non-pyramidal tetrahedral and pentahedral blocks.
