Rural household demographics, livelihoods and the environment

This paper reviews and synthesizes findings from scholarly work on linkages among rural household demographics, livelihoods and the environment. Using the livelihood approach as an organizing framework, we examine evidence on the multiple pathways linking environmental variables and the following demographic variables: fertility, migration, morbidity and mortality, and lifecycles. Although the review draws on studies from the entire developing world, we find the majority of microlevel studies have been conducted in either marginal (mountainous or arid) or frontier environments, especially Amazonia. Though the linkages are mediated by many complex and often context-specific factors, there is strong evidence that dependence on natural resources intensifies when households lose human and social capital through adult morbidity and mortality, and qualified evidence for the influence of environmental factors on household decision-making regarding fertility and migration. Two decades of research on lifecycles and land cover change at the farm level have yielded a number of insights about how households make use of different land-use and natural resource management strategies at different stages. A thread running throughout the review is the importance of managing risk through livelihood diversification, ensuring future income security, and culture-specific norms regarding appropriate and desirable activities and demographic responses. Recommendations for future research are provided.     

Converted phases analysis of the Campi Flegrei caldera using active seismic data

We applied a type of depth migration for converted seismic phases to active and passive seismic data sets from the Campi Flegrei volcanic region in southern Italy. The migration method is based on the diffraction summation migration technique. Travel times to grid points in a volume were calculated in smooth P and S-velocity models and trace energy near the calculated converted phase time was stacked over multiple sources at one receiver. Weighting factors based on Snell's Law at an arbitrarily oriented local interface were applied to better focus trace energy. PP reflection images from the active data set provide increased detail to images of the caldera rim from other studies. The migrated images also show features near 2–3 km in depth beneath Pozzuoli City, which may be associated with an over-pressured gas volume, as suggested by other geophysical investigations. Possible deeper features near 4 km depth may be related to the presence of the carbonate basement or may image a previously undetected feature, such as a small body of strongly thermometamorphosed volcanic rock. The current passive earthquake data set from the 1984 ground uplift episode was not well suited to the converted phases analysis due to narrow P–S windows and high noise levels in the traces. However, two stations provide confirmation and extension of imaged features in the active data.     

Stretching correction for amplitude-preserving vector wavefield reverse-time migration

The migration of multi-wave seismic data is aimed at obtaining the P- and S-wave imaging results of the amplitude preserving. But the P- and S-wave stretching effect produced by the reverse time migration of the elastic wave equation will not only reduce the vertical resolution of the migration results and the amplitude preserving of the large reflection angle. In this paper, the reverse time migration technique of amplitude preserving vector wave-field separating is used. Based on the analysis of the stretch mechanism and the influencing factors of stretch magnitude, the paper gave the stretch correcting factors. Then, realize the stretch correction method at the time that after the reverse extrapolation and before the imaging by solving the problem which is how to calculate the P-wave and Ps-wave propagation directions of imaging points at different times. The stretch correction method can improve the vertical resolution and amplitude fidelity of the imaging results and provide high fidelity input data for seismic data interpretation and inversion.© 2019 China Geology Editorial Office.     

The Correlation Bias for Two-Dimensional Simulations by Turning Bands

The turning bands method (TBM) generates realizations of isotropic Gaussian random fields by summing contributions from line processes. We consider two-dimensional simulations and study the correlation bias attributable to the use of only a finite number L of lines. Our analytical and numerical results confirm that the maximal bias is of order 1/L, and that L = 64 lines suffice for excellent covariance reproduction. The notorious banding observed in simulations with an insufficient number of lines is a related but different phenomenon and depends strongly on the choice of the line simulation technique. Clear-cut recommendations for the number of lines necessary to avoid the effect can only be based on practical experience with the specific code at hand.

基于偏微分方程的模型光滑处理在偏移成像中的应用

本文针对射线类偏移成像当中的速度模型光滑处理问题,借鉴数字图像处理当中的偏微分方程法,基于能量泛函,应用变分方法导出基于速度模型的偏微分方程实现射线类偏移成像当中的速度模型的光滑处理.由于偏微分方程法具有线性叠加特性、模型解的唯一性和局部特征保持性,因此,应用该算法可以实现基于原始速度模型空间结构的模型光滑处理.通过在原始速度模型以及光滑处理后的速度模型上计算速度的空间分布以及地震波走时、射线路径可以得出,偏微分方程法对速度模型的光滑处理能够很好地保持原始模型的空间结构,偏移成像结果也证明了该方法的实用性.     

匹配滤波方法研究2016年意大利中部MW6.0地震的余震迁移

2016年8月24日意大利中部发生M_W6.0地震,2个月之后,震中附近相继发生M_W5.5、M_W5.9、M_W6.5地震。研究这几次较大地震间的相互触发作用及机制十分必要,然而在大地震之后传统地震目录通常缺失很多余震事件,缺失的余震事件包含着早期余震时空分布和迁移规律的信息,为完善余震目录本文利用匹配滤波方法对M_W6.0地震后80天内的连续数据进行余震检测,得到了数十倍于模板数量的新检测事件,检测事件与模板事件组成的新余震目录完备震级为1.0,提高了地震目录的完备性。依据新余震目录进行余震时空分布研究,结果显示M_W6.0、M_W5.9、M_W6.5地震的早期余震迁移规律不同。M_W6.0地震的早期余震沿着断裂走向同时朝两侧迁移;而M_W5.9、M_W6.5地震的早期余震向南、北迁移表示出不对称的特征。通过拟合余震迁移前端发现,M_W6.0、M_W5.5地震的早期余震朝着随后较大地震的方向迁移,且较符合lgt的特征,表明余震迁移可能与慢滑动有关。     

冻土CT图像中环形伪影和射线束硬化伪影的成因及校正方法

冻土CT图像中不可避免地会出现环形伪影和射线束硬化伪影。为解决这些问题, 分析了两类伪影的特征和形成机理, 提出了降低伪影的硬件优化方案。首先, 通过改变X射线管电压, 以此改变X射线光通量来降低冻土CT图像的环形伪影。其次, 利用不同厚度的滤过材料, 将X射线中的低能射线预先过滤, 使得穿过冻土试样的X射线能谱范围变窄, 以此来降低射线束硬化伪影对试样的影响。对比分析结果表明： 将扫描电压提高到120 kV既能有效降低同类型冻土试样CT图像中的环形伪影, 又能保证图像的质量; 选用材质为2A12、 厚度为18 mm的航空铝材, 在扫描电压为120 kV、 扫描电流为230 mA的条件下可以有效抑制射线束硬化所造成的伪影。     

褐飞虱迁飞的雷达观测与轨迹研究

１９８８年９月下半月，在江苏省江浦县用雷达直接观测了褐飞虱的长距离迁飞过程。观测发现，晚上有大量的褐飞虱飞过雷达观测点。迁飞的褐飞虱绝大多数在傍晚到黄昏时分起飞，然后随气流上升到４００—１０００ｍ的高度。受大陆冷高压东侧东北气流的影响，多数情况下随风朝西南方向飞去。这在生态学上具有十分重要的意义，因为那里可能是褐飞虱的越各地。     

主动源与被动源地震数据插值及联合数据成像

本文提出了两种情况下主动源数据和被动源数据的插值方法,并研究了两种数据在偏移成像中的互补效果.基于互相关法被动源数据重构原理,本文提出了结合多域迭代去噪技术的重构方法.提出了两种时间域主动源和被动源数据的插值方法,分别是共炮点域能量匹配插值和共检波点域最小平方匹配插值.然后对获得的主动源和被动源联合地震数据进行叠前深度偏移成像.在被动源活跃度不是很高的地区进行被动源地震勘探时,少量的主动源地震数据可以有效控制和补充被动源数据的成像效果.在稀疏炮点的主动源勘探中,有效利用被动源的信息能够在成像中增加更多的细节信息,提高成像质量.
