边坡稳定性预测的粗糙集-距离判别模型及其应用

为克服马氏距离判别模型无法考虑指标权重的不足,引入粗糙集理论,通过分析评判方法对评价对象的支持度和重要性计算得到权重系数。将权重系数嵌入距离判别模型,构建了边坡稳定性预测的加权距离判别模型。根据边坡失稳破坏特点,选取合理的判别因子,以大量工程实例样本作为原始数据和训练样本,建立了边坡稳定性评价预测的粗糙集-距离判别模型。将边坡稳定性评价预测的粗糙集-距离判别模型评价预测结果与马氏距离判别法、支持向量机理论、Bayes判别分析等方法得到的预测结果进行了对比分析,验证了粗糙集-距离判别模型的有效性。将建立的粗糙集-距离判别模型应用于黄河中游地区某大型水利枢纽库区边坡工程,预测结果与实际情况吻合。研究结果表明,粗糙集-距离判别模型具有权重分析合理、预测准确性高等优点,是进行边坡稳定性分析预测的一种新的有效途径。

Oceanic upwelling produced by northerly winds on the north Canterbury coast,New Zealand

The rates of upwelling calculated from the change in temperature distribution derived from two sets of hydrological stations (0.0107 cm.r^‐1) and the rate of upwelling calculated from the wind derived transport offshore for the period between the collection of the hydrological data (0.0086 cm.s^‐1) are found to be consistent.     

Using in situ hyperspectral reflectance data to distinguish nine aquatic plant species

In situ hyperspectral reflectance data were studied at 50 bands (10 nm bandwidth) over the 400–900 nm spectral range to determine their potential for distinguishing among nine aquatic plant species: American lotus [Nelumbo lutea (Willd.) Pers.], American pondweed (Potamogeton nodusus Poir.), giant duckweed [Spirodela polyrrhiza (L.) Schleid.], Mexican waterlily (Nymphaea mexicana Zucc.), white waterlily (Nymphaea odorata Aiton), spatterdock [Nuphar lutea (L.) Sm.], giant salvinia (Salvinia molesta Mitchell), waterhyacinth [Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms] and waterlettuce (Pistia stratiotes L.). The species were studied on three dates: 30 May, 1 July and 3 August 2009. All nine species were studied in July and August, while only eight species were studied in May; giant duckweed was not studied in May due to insufficient availability. Two procedures were used to determine the optimum bands for discriminating among species: multiple comparison range tests and stepwise discriminant analysis. Multiple comparison range tests results for May showed that most separations among species occurred at bands 795–865 nm in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral region where up to six species could be distinguished. For July, few species could be distinguished amongthe 50 bands; most separations occurred at the 715 nm red-NIR edge band where four species could be differentiated. The optimum bands in August occurred in the green (525–595 nm), red (605–635 nm) and red-NIR edge (695–705 nm) spectral regions where up to six species could be distinguished. Stepwise discriminant analysis identified 11 bands in the blue, green, red-NIR edge and NIR spectral regions to be significant to discriminate among the eight species in May. For July and August, stepwise discriminant analysis identified 15bands and 13 bands, respectively, from the blue to NIR regions to be significant for discriminating among the nine species.

流体识别是致密碎屑岩储层预测中的难点之一.本文把核Fisher判别分析用于致密碎屑岩储层流体识别,首先较全面的介绍了核Fisher判别分析理论基础,再利用测井属性参数计算出弹性属性参数,并将这两类参数作为特征变量,最后进行核Fisher判别分析建模和致密碎屑岩储层流体识别.四川盆地XC地区致密碎屑岩储层流体识别结果表明,对致密碎屑岩储层中的气层和气水同层两类线性不可分的样本数据,使用核Fisher判别分析均能实现分离,说明该方法在识别致密碎屑岩储层流体识时准确率高,具有很好的应用前景.     

The North American City Revisited: Urban Quality of Life in Canada and the United States

An international comparative urban analysis requires an effort to reconcile not only the variables, but also the units of observation from each country. In a multivariate analysis, failure with regard to the former jeopardizes the validity of the results while failure with regard to the latter risks a priori bias in the interpretation of the results. This comparative, multivariate analysis of urban quality-of-life variables from Canada and the United States calls into question the distinctiveness of the Canadian City in the North American City debate because of such potential bias. As a point of departure from past research, not only is an attempt made to harmonize the set of urban quality-of-life variables with regard to definition, year, and geography, but also to control for the definitional, geographic, and hierarchical differences between the Canadian and U.S. urban systems. Such efforts reveal the Canadian City is indeed distinct from the U.S. City, but also distinct from the North American City, which is a regional entity encompassing Canada and the United States.     

基于Fisher算法对现代黄河三角洲叶瓣垂向环境演变的初步验证

黄河三角洲沉积环境复杂,自1855年以来形成多个三角洲叶瓣,为了验证Fisher算法在黄河三角洲沉积环境划分中的积极作用,在对取自黄河三角洲的柱状沉积物进行粒度分析的基础上,使用Fisher算法并借助DPS软件,对钻孔沉积物垂直剖面进行初步划分,同时与通过其他传统方法划分的沉积层序进行对比。结果表明:通过Fisher算法可以将研究区的沉积物划分为3层,分别为1.1~5.7,5.7~18.1及18.1 m以下,地层的分段结果与他人的研究结果相吻合。因此,采用Fisher算法对黄河三角洲沉积物进行层序划分是可行的。     

Discriminant analysis as a method of predicting mineral occurrence potentials in central Norway

The statistical technique of discriminant analysis is used to define target areas for detailed general exploration given only general geological information and aeromagnetic anomaly blues. In the test area, located in Central Norway, on-going exploration surveys have revealed the presence of mineralization; however, it still has not been determined if any of the sites will beeconomically feasible. The area was divided into 1400 1-km × 1-km cells by superimposing square grid on 1:50,000-scale geological and geophysical maps. Later the area was divided into two subareas based on major differences in each area's geology. A number of geological natures and the aeromagnetic anomaly values were coded systematically in each cell. The cells representing an advanced degree of exploration were chosen as control cells in each of the subareas. The geological and geophysical parameters were transformed, by means of relatively simple transformations, to produce near-normal frequency distributions. A discriminant function was then obtained by discriminant analysis to divide the control data into two groups, cells with presence of mineral occurrence and cells without mineral occurrence. the discriminant function obtained for the control area proved to be relevant both geologically and statistically. Consequently, the discriminant equation was applied to cells outside the control area. The cells were assigned to one of the two groups by entering the geologic factors pleasured from the maps into the discriminant model. The exploration potential of a large number of cells was evaluated by this procedure. To test the results, field work including geochemical sampling was carried out in the cells with highest probability of mineral occurrance The field work results have shown that the application of discriminant analysis to geological information at 1:50,000 scale with 1-km × 1-km cells combined with a careful selection of techniques for transforming the variables is a feasible method for predicting gaeralization, and as such could become a valuable tool for mining exploration.This paper was presented at Symposium 116.3, Quantitative Strategy for Exploration, held as part of the 25th International Geological Congress, Sydney, Australia, August 1976.
