Climate driven changes in subtidal kelp forest communities in NW Spain

Reconstructions suggest a massive decline of nearly 1400 ha of kelp forest in North Western Spain in 2007. In line with global rising temperatures, we hypothesized that Sea Surface Temperature (SST) surpassed a lethal threshold for kelp. We examined whether changes in SST correlated to the proposed decline in kelp forest. All investigated SST characteristics suggested to affect kelp abundance increased significantly during the past thirty years, reaching extreme values during the last decade. In addition over the past two decades, the landscape formerly dominated by both cold and warm temperate canopy forming and understory species changed to one dominated by warm temperate understory species, resulting in a loss of vertical community structure. Fisheries landing data of kelp associated species was used to support the suggested change in kelp abundance. Subsequent recovery of the kelp appears to be occurring in deeper waters.     

Residents′Activity-travel Behavior Variation by Communities in Beijing,China

China’s transition from a planned economy to a market economy has resulted in many changes in its urban structure and society and provided an opportunity for a quasi-longitudinal case study on the relationship between the built environment and activity-travel behavior.This paper draws upon data from an activity diary survey conducted in Beijing in 2007.The survey sample comprised 652 residents living in Danwei(work unit),commodity housing,and affordable housing neighborhoods.On the basis of the three-dimensional geo-visualization analysis of the space-time path and statistical multivariate regression models of daily travel and leisure time,it was found that both residential spatial factors and socio-demographics influence residents’ daily behaviors.The findings show that Danwei residents have less daily travel time than those who live in commodity housing,but people living in affordable housing endure the longest travel time.Daily leisure time is associated more with individual attributes.We argue that although China’s transition is currently gradual,the Danwei system may continue to play significant roles in daily life,and it might provide a valuable model for neighborhood spatial planning.

影响中国的热带气旋极端事件年代际变化

利用1949—2009年影响中国的热带气旋风雨资料以及登陆信息,研究影响热带气旋极端事件的年代际变化特征。结果表明：热带气旋登陆极端偏早或偏晚事件在1970和2000年代发生较少。热带气旋登陆强度（中心附近最大风力和最低气压）极端事件在2000年代发生频数最高。热带气旋降水影响时间极端事件在1970年代频数最多,大风影响时间极端事件在1980年代频数最多。日降水量和过程降水量的极值站数在1960年代最多,日最大风速极值站数在1980年代最多。     

内蒙古呼和浩特-包头地区地震目录的完整性分析

以内蒙古中部的呼和浩特-包头地区(40°～42°N,108°～114°E)作为研究区域,收集整理2001年1月1日至2010年4月30日ML≥1.0地震作为研究对象,按地震样本数目滑动扫描并计算最小完整性震级Mc,绘制Mc的时序变化曲线.分析认为Mc在时间上的变化主要反映台网监测能力和地震活动规律,但台站布局、地震信噪比和人为因素也会引起Mc的短期或不连续性的变化.同时在Rydelek等提出的2个假设条件下,对呼包地区的地震目录完整性进行了RS检验,其结果与上述扫描计算结果一致,也与根据台网监测能力所得到的震级范围吻合,证明本文的计算结果能够比较真实的反映2001年以来呼包地区地震目录在各时段内的完整性.     

碰撞条件下高弹模CFRP加固自升式平台桩腿性能分析

由于腐蚀、海生物附着等因素导致老龄化海洋平台在与船舶碰撞的事故作用下,桩腿变形加大,降低了承载性能。为减少碰撞对桩腿的损伤,提高其耐撞性能,提出了利用吸收能力较强的高弹模CFRP材料加固平台桩腿的方法。以某自升式海洋平台桩腿为例,利用有限元法建立简化的碰撞模型,通过在局部损伤部位粘贴高弹模CFRP材料来提高桩腿的耐撞性能,验证高弹模CFRP加固方法,提高其耐撞性能的有效性。研究表明,相同的碰撞条件下,加固前碰撞力使桩腿产生了接近屈服强度的应力;粘贴2层CFRP布后,桩腿吸能下降56.3%,极值应力下降了14.7%;粘贴CFRP板后,桩腿吸能下降70.68%,桩腿的极值应力下降57.36%。     

基于报纸媒体内容分析和信息熵的广交会综合影响力时空分布

从报纸媒体的角度研究广交会作为重大事件的综合影响力的时空分布特点。以中国知网(http://www.cnki.net/) 所属“中国重要报纸全文数据库”(CCND) 2000-05-05 到2011-05-30 时间段内“广交会”为主题的4333 条新闻报道为研究文本, 通过传播学中的内容分析法建构分析类目, 统计类目包括新闻的时间、所属的届数与期数、报社所在城市、新闻版面、新闻字数等, 共由3 个编码员进行统计, 并对类目编码进行信度检测。在对新闻内容进行计量统计的基础上, 引进信息熵度量信息量, 利用信息熵和报道篇数构建广交会综合影响力指标, 进一步构建广交会空间综合影响力指数方程, 分析广交会综合影响力在全国的分布情况, 并检验综合影响力指标和经济指标的相关性。结果发现:① 从时间分布来看, 以新闻报道数量来衡量, 在事件(广交会) 进行时其综合影响力存在时间衰减现象, 各展期综合影响力的年际变化则呈现为周期性的年度重复现象。② 从空间分布来看, 广交会综合影响力空间分布与城市参展商数量、经济情况和距离有着密切的联系:受影响大的城市主要集中在沿海经济发达的省份, 受影响小的城市主要分布在西部和北部, 整体上综合影响力大小和城市分布的密度由东到西递减;综合影响力总体上存在显著的空间距离衰减, 但对于北京和上海这两个特殊城市而言, 空间距离已经不是广交会综合影响力的主要因素, 而在广交会举办地的“当地”(广东省内) 较短的距离内, 距离衰减并不显著, 当空间距离超出一定范围, 则存在明显的距离衰减现象。     

Optimizing layout of pumping well in irrigation district for groundwater sustainable use in northwest China

Optimizing layout of pumping well plays a vital role in curbing the groundwater level decline. A novel optimization model is presented in this study. First, the optimal well number is obtained by taking into account factors of local economy and environment based on nonlinear programming model. Then, the well spatial layout assessment model is attained based on information entropy weight and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). After that, the relative closeness to positive ideal solution of alternative (c_i) on the rationality of well spatial layout in cultivated land is calculated, and a set of alternatives are ranked according to the descending order of c_i. Finally, the well optimization layout is obtained by combining the optimal well number with well spatial layout assessment result based on the GIS data of pumping wells. As a case study, this method was applied in Yongchang Irrigation District of Shiyang River Basin, the arid region of northwest China. Results show that under the conditions of sustainable use of water resources, the irrigation district needed 724 wells for irrigation, with a decrease of 31.0% when compared with the existing number of wells. The wells with low flow rate and operating efficiency distributed in high density where groundwater is over‐exploitation were recommended to be closed. This well optimization layout method is expected to play a significant role in helping make plans for exploiting groundwater at more sustainable level, curbing the groundwater level decline trend, and improving the local ecological environment.

龙门山断裂带南段地壳一维P波速度结构

基于2009年1月1日至2013年5月6日四川地震台网、重庆地震台网记录的龙门山断裂带南段587个地震的5 012个P波到时数据,利用最小一维速度模型方法反演了龙门山断裂带南段地壳一维P波速度模型及台站校正值,并将其应用到龙门山地区地震重定位中。结果表明,台站校正值表征出龙门山断裂带南段地表速度结构的横向不均匀性,青藏高原的彭灌杂岩体及宝兴杂岩体在近地表表现为高速异常,而四川盆地的第四纪沉积表现为低速异常。重定位后地震震源在北西向的剖面上呈明显的条带状并向北西倾斜,该地震带与宝兴杂岩下方的滑脱带延伸趋势一致。此外,该地震带上方分布着一条反冲地震带,两地震带呈"y"型分布,这可能是宝兴杂岩上方的岩层为调节逆冲过程受阻而产生的反冲运动所致。     

社区减灾能力的熵权-灰靶评价方法研究——以苏州新区为例

社区是城市细胞和基层单位,其防灾减灾能力建设对构建城市安全体系有着极其重要的作用。本文借助于熵权-灰靶模型和GIS叠置分析技术进行社区减灾能力综合评价方法研究,首先从灾害风险评估能力、救援与保障能力等6个方面构建起包含30个二级指标的社区减灾能力评价指标体系。经过指标序列的影响空间和标准模式的构建、灰靶变换和靶心度分级,进行社区减灾能力分级评价。以苏州新区作为案例分析研究区,借助于ArcMap10.2软件得到该区域的社区减灾能力空间分布特征图。分析结果表明,研究区社区减灾能力总体上呈现东区较好,西区较弱,区域内社区减灾能力建设不平衡特征。研究区各街道和社区的灾害风险评估能力和灾害管理能力较好,工程防御能力总体分布不均衡,经济基础支撑能力、救援与保障能力、公众认知能力较差,说明社区综合减灾能力不足,今后应从单纯依赖减灾示范社区建设转变为加强社区综合减灾能力的内涵建设。
