Foregrounding technology over politics? Media framings of federal elections in Malaysia

Mainstream and alternative media play an important role in circulating powerful narratives within and often beyond a country's borders. This article specifically examines how Malaysia's media have framed the relationship between information and communication technologies (ICTs) and the country's electoral process. To this end, the authors conducted a content analysis of selected domestic mainstream and alternative media sources for two weeks before and two weeks after Malaysia's last three federal elections – 1999, 2004 and 2008 – to gauge how coverage has changed over time with shifts in the local political landscape and growing ICT access and usage.     

Competitive Productivism and Australia's Emerging ‘Alternative’ Agri-food Networks: producing for farmers' markets in Victoria and beyond

This paper advances the theoretical argument for moving beyond the conventional/alternative divide in the analysis of emerging ‘alternative’ agri-food networks (AAFNs). In order to understand how ‘place’, ‘nature’ and ‘quality’-based food networks emerge and develop, we argue that careful attention needs to be paid to the way in which specific political-economic environments shape the options available to farmers and consumers. Australia's ‘competitive productivism’ is the outcome of an export-oriented economy and a neoliberal political orientation, and this environment affects the development of AAFNs in various ways. Most notably, a case study of farmers that sell at farmers' markets in the State of Victoria shows that the competitive-productivist policies pursued by Australian governments entice some farmers who participate in AAFNs to develop their ideas into higher output businesses tailored to compete in emerging export markets. Other farmers deliberately choose to keep marketing through alternative channels despite competitive-productivist pressures to expand. These findings demonstrate the centrality to the experience of AAFN participants of negotiating productivist pressures, adding nuances to the story of the complex relations between AAFNs and conventional supply chains.     

拉索端部弹性约束振动控制研究(I)——理论模型

本文建立了拉索振动的轴向被动控制理论模型。在拉索端部沿轴向设置弹性约束,通过影响索端支座的移动,从而改变拉索的振动特性,最终达到减振效果。通过D’Alembert原理建立拉索-弹性约束系统振动方程,通过Galerkin方法将偏微分方程转化为常微分方程,应用龙格-库塔积分法求解方程;经过仿真分析,验证了该振动控制具有明显的减振效果,并且讨论了初始拉力、支座质量、振动频率及弹簧刚度对减振效果的影响;最后给出了计算最优阻尼参数的近似解析式,为工程师提供了简便有效的参考依据及设计方法。

综合方法在柳塘隐伏铅锌矿床的应用效果

在湖南坪宝铅锌多金属矿田外围柳塘预测找矿靶区,采用高精度磁测、高精度重力、高灵敏度土壤、岩石测量、碳氧同位素测定等综合方法普查、详查,以“磁场跃变区”及Pb、Zn、Ag、Sb、As等弱异常为主要标志,在地表无任何矿化蚀变显示的柳塘预测区,发现400m以下的全隐伏铅锌银矿床,这阐明了新方法新技术是成矿远景区(带)矿产资源调查评价中提取深部找矿信息标志的最佳方法,总结了找矿预测的基本思路。通过该矿床的发现,说明“预测—普查一致性”原则是成功的。     

对辽河油田地层划分和对比工作的一点看法

辽河油田的地层划分基本上是传统的地层划分方法，所以存在一些问题。笔者采用多重地层划分方法，对牛心坨—曙北地区的代表性探井，作了岩石地层和年代地层的划分和对比，说明了多重地层划分的必要性。     

金龙山地区滑坡综合观测方案概述

金龙山地区滑坡综合观测方案的设计原则有:阶段性、科学性、综合性和适用性。滑坡综合观测内容含:斜坡应力变化,滑体的运动变形与滑坡的地声,地下水动态,以及影响滑坡发生发展的因素(降水等)。为此在本方案中包含10个滑坡观测项目(1987—1991年已在当地开展了8个,获取3万余个数据),对观测数据由微型计算机加以综合管理。此外对组建减灾防灾组织系统(如成立指挥部和制定群防避灾措施等)在方案中也作了考虑。
