Dark side of the planet: hidden dimensions of urban agglomeration

ABSTRACT

This intervention probes the hidden, political dimensions of planetary urbanization. Drawing on political theory, it approaches its analysis through the analytic of ‘the political,’ the dimension in which antagonism performs a constitutive function in the social order. In doing so the intervention throws into relief the ways in which group-based differentiation, conflict, and exclusion establish the conditions of possibility for ongoing transformations of urban agglomeration. It then develops a case for further exploring intersections of the political and capitalist agglomeration to generate new knowledge about current mutations in urban economies of space.     

A spectral gradient difference based approach for land cover change detection

Change detection with remotely sensed imagery plays an important role in land cover mapping, process analysis and dynamic information services. Euclidean distance, correlation and other mathematic metrics between spectral curves have been used to calculate change magnitude in most change detection methods. However, many pseudo changes would also be detected because of inter-class spectral variance, which remains a significant challenge for operational remote sensing applications. In general, different land cover types have their own spectral curves characterized by typical spectral values and shapes. These spectral values are widely used for designing change detection algorithms. However, the shape of spectral curves has not yet been fully considered. This paper proposes to use spectral gradient difference (SGD) to quantitatively describe the spectral shapes and the differences in shape between two spectra. Change magnitude calculated in the new spectral gradient space is used to detect the change/no-change areas. Then, a chain model is employed to represent the SGD pattern both qualitatively and quantitatively. Finally, the land cover change types are determined by pattern matching with the knowledgebase of reference SGD patterns. The effectiveness of this SGD-based change detection approach was verified by a simulation experiment and a case study of Landsat data. The results indicated that the SGD-based approach was superior to the traditional methods.     

基于单差搜索的格拉纳斯双差模糊度固定方法

格拉纳斯(GLONASS)系统采用频分多址技术,差分技术处理双差载波相位观测值时为保持模糊度参数的整数特性,需要加入伪距计算单差模糊度进行辅助求解。为了降低伪距观测误差对双差模糊度快速固定的影响,本文给出了一种GLONASS双差模糊度解算方法:建立检验搜索出最佳的单差模糊度,再固定双差模糊度;并利用实测数据对该方法进行验证,结果证明可以有效地减少伪距误差对双差模糊度解算的影响。

西安市PM2.5城乡差异及与城市热岛的关联研究

依据一种基于建筑用地比例和土地利用信息熵的城乡站点划分方法,将西安市环境与气象站点划分为城区、郊区和两类乡村站,讨论其PM_2.5的城乡分布特征及与城市热岛效应强度(Urban Heat Island Intensity,UHII)间的相关关系。结果表明,不同季节西安市呈现不同的PM_2.5城乡分布特征和日变化特征,两类乡村站点PM_2.5差异明显且下风向乡村站点(乡村D)对应的UHII_D对城区和乡村的影响程度大于上风向乡村站点(乡村U)对应的UHII_U。在城区较多本地排放的影响下,乡村PM_2.5浓度与 UHII_U(或UHII_D)相关系数均大于城区。随着UHII_D的增加,城乡PM_2.5相对浓度差值(RUPII_D)整体呈下降趋势且UHII_D与RUPII_D在春夏秋季显著负相关。UHII_D增大,城区近地面PM_2.5的水平扩散能力减弱,但PM_2.5的垂直扩散能力较乡村更强,从而UHII_D通过影响PM_2.5的传输扩散特征,进一步影响西安市RUPII_D。     

储层岩石流动电位的电化学影响因素

利用储层岩石的流动电位特性描述油藏的流动特性已引起地球物理领域的关注。依据多孔介质中的双电层模型与毛管电化学理论,建立了渗流场、离子流场和电流场的耦合关系,数值模拟了泥质砂岩储渗特性和电化学因素对流动电位耦合系数的影响。结果表明:当考虑储层岩石中存在浓差极化效应时,流动电位耦合系数的绝对值随溶液浓度、阳离子交换量、孔隙度和渗透率的增大而增大;浓差极化效应对流动电位具有放大作用。

Application of snowmelt runoff model for water resource management

Snow‐covered areas (SCAs) are the fundamental source of water for the hydrological cycle for some region. Accurate measurements of river discharge from snowmelt can help manage much needed water required for hydropower generation and irrigation purposes. This study aims to apply the snowmelt runoff model (SRM) in the Upper Indus basin by the Astore River in northern Pakistan for the years 2000 to 2006. The Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) data are used to generate the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the region. Various variables (snow cover depletion curves (SCDCs), temperature and precipitation) and parameters (degree‐day factor, recession coefficient, runoff coefficients, time lag, critical temperature and temperature lapse rate) are used as input in the SRM. However, snow cover data are direct and an important input to the SRM. Satellite data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) are used to estimate the SCA. Normalized difference snow index (NDSI) algorithm is applied for snow cover mapping and to differentiate snow from other land features. Nash–Sutcliffe coefficient of determination (R²) and volume difference (D_V) are used for quality assessment of the SRM. The results of the current research show that for the study years (2000–2006), the average value of R² is 0·87 and average volume difference D_V is 1·18%. The correlation coefficient between measured and computed runoff is 0·95. The results of the study further show that a high level of accuracy can be achieved during the snowmelt season. The simulation results endorse that the SRM in conjunction with MODIS snow cover product is very useful for water resource management in the Astore River and can be used for runoff forecasts in the Indus River basin in northern Pakistan.
