海河平原东部地区地面沉降机理与趋势

海河平原东部地区是中国水资源最紧缺的地区之一。地下水开采量占该地区供水总水量的60％以上。深、浅层地下水超采量均超过500亿m^3。该区也是山前拦蓄地表径流最高的地区,大小水库达1820多座,拦蓄能力320亿m^3,控制山区流域面积近90％。在地下水补给源减少与大规模超采地下水的综合作用下,造成平原区河流干涸、地下水水位持续下降、含水层疏干及地面沉降等环境地质问题。同时诱发了含水层之间强越流渗透以求动力场平衡问题,第四系松散地层出现垂向压密而导致地层塑性变形。在滨海平原区,区域性地层垂向压密变形存在缓慢发展趋势。研究表明,地面沉降致灾过程至少存在3个阶段,即自然沉降机制阶段、缓变劣变质变阶段以及快速衰变破坏阶段。缓变劣变质变阶段是采取措施减灾最佳时期。     

Influencing domain of peripheral sources in the urban heavy pollution process of Beijing

Multiple cities in a diveloped economic area may consist of a city cluster,and the difusion and mixing of its pollutants result in the effect of pollutants plume between cities and the large-scale regional pollution diffusion phenomenon.The distant transfer and diffusion of pollutants occurs when massive aerosols are affected by the dynamic porcess of large-scale circulations.Research suggesten that the life span of aerosol particles whose diameters are about 1 um is the longest.The longevity …     

Typological factor analysis: A new classification method applied to geology

The purpose of typological factor analysis is to detect, within a multidimensional sample, the existence of subsets characterized by different maximal elongation directions. The method which has been successfully applied in the field of pattern recognition can be considered from two points of view: (1) an automatic classification or dynamic clustering technique: and (2) a form of factor analysis. Using this form of analysis nuclei of affine varieties (points, axes, planes, etc) are identified. Different case studies were analyzed in order to establish the advantages of the method compared to other methods. Geochemical analyses of rock samples; that is, rhyolites, mafic, and intermediate rocks of the Normetal (Abitibi) area were subjected to typological factor analysis for the purpose of classification of geological deposits and detection of geochemical anomalies. The method was also applied to the classification of sediments from the Barataria Bay area in Louisiana.     

水平分层弹性粘弹性介质的静力响应

本文首先利用传播矩阵法构造出了水平分层弹性介质在表载、体力及内部力源联合作用下的一般模型。然后利用“对应原理”将弹性问题的一般模型推广到粘弹性问题的一般模型——粘弹性分层介质传播矩阵基本方程。最后用粘弹性分层介质传播矩阵方程对一个实际地学问题做了试算,计算结果说明,用传播矩阵法处理粘弹性问题是非常有效的。     

面向Internet的农业气象产量动态预报

针对信息时代Internet网上用户对产量预报动态查询的需求 ,探讨了面向Inter net的农业气象产量预报的解决方案。试验结果表明 ,由于作物生长发育和产量形成是一个光、温、水、土条件长期、综合作用 ,生物量长期累积的过程 ,因此利用积分回归方法 ,考虑全生育期光、温、水气象因子的综合影响 ,根据已出现的天气实况 ,在假定后期天气条件正常的情况下 ,有可能预测出未来产量的趋势。随着天气实况的逐一出现 ,后期的预报结果可望逐步接近实际值。统计检验和试报结果误差均在允许范围内。     

Comparison of the acid-base responses to CO2 and acidification in Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus)

To investigate whether the biological toxicity of aquatic hypercapnia is due to the direct effects of CO2 or to the effects of acidification of seawater by CO2, the Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) was subjected to seawater equilibrated with a gas mixture of air containing 5% CO2 (pH 6.18) or seawater acidified to the same pH with 1 N H2SO4. All the fish died within 72 h in the CO2 exposure group, whereas no mortality occurred in the acid group. Acid-base parameters as well as plasma ion concentrations were severely perturbed in the CO2 exposure group, whereas they were minimally affected in the acid group. These results clearly demonstrate that the mortality in the CO2 group is a direct result of the elevated levels of dissolved CO2 and not to the effects of the reduced water pH.     

版本差量式时空数据模型研究

时空数据模型是时态地理信息系统的关键和核心。本文在分析国内外已有研究成果的基础上,结合国家基础测绘项目,提出了“版本-差量”式时空数据模型,采用“版本管理-动态关联”以及“动态分级索引”技术实现时态地理数据的存储管理和查询检索。该模型能有效降低数据冗余,提高数据访问效率。
