The Problem of Double Longitudes on Glavač’s Map

Abstract

Exploring large volumes of geospatial data is difficult. This paper presents an approach that combines visual and computational analysis to make this process easier. This approach is based on the effective application of computational algorithms, such as the Self-Organizing Map (SOM). These are used to uncover the structure, patterns, relationships and trends in the data, and for the creation of abstractions where conventional methods may be limited. In addition, graphical representations are applied to portray extracted patterns in a visual form that allows for better understanding of the derived structures and possible geographical processes, and should facilitate knowledge construction.

以甘肃高台地区国家级重点文物保护单位骆驼城土遗址为研究对象,对其依次采用实地勘察、室内土工试验、统计分析、数值模拟四种手段进行了研究。将可靠度理论引入有限元动力分析中,利用APDL语言编制程序,使用蒙特卡洛法进行一千次的抽样数值模拟后进行抗震概率性分析。从而实现了土遗址抗震安全性评价的一种新方法和手段。计算结果对于骆驼城土遗址抗震防护及加固具有重要的参考价值,同时也为类似土遗址的防灾减灾工作提供一定依据。     

Water and nutrient fluxes off Northwest Africa

A historical data set is used to describe the coastal transition zone off Northwest Africa during spring 1973 and fall 1975, from 17° to 26°N, with special emphasis on the interaction between subtropical (North Atlantic Central Waters) and tropical (South Atlantic Central Waters) gyres. The near-surface geostrophic circulation, relative to 300 m, is quite complex. Major features are a large cyclonic pattern north of Cape Blanc (21°N) and offshore flow at the Cape Verde front. The large cyclone occurs in the region of most intense winds, and resembles a large meander of the baroclinic southward upwelling jet. The Cape Verde frontal system displays substantial interleaving that may partly originate as mesoscale features at the coastal upwelling front. Property–property diagrams show that the front is an effective barrier to all properties except temperature. The analysis of the Turner angle suggests that the frontal system is characterized by large heat horizontal diffusion as a result of intense double diffusion, which results in the smoothing of the temperature horizontal gradients. Nine cross-shore sections are used to calculate along-shore geostrophic water-mass and nutrient transports and to infer exchanges between the coastal transition zone and the deep ocean (import: deep ocean to transition zone; export: transition zone to deep ocean). These exchanges compare well with mean wind-induced transports and actual geostrophic cross-shore transport estimates. The region is divided into three areas: southern (18–21°N), central (21–23.5°N), and northern (23.5–26°N). In the northern area geostrophic import is roughly compensated with wind-induced export during both seasons. In the central area geostrophic import is greater than wind-induced export during spring, resulting in net import of both water (0.8 Sv) and nitrate (14 kmol s⁻¹), but during fall both factors again roughly cancel. In the southern area geostrophy and wind join to export water and nutrients during both seasons, they increase from 0.6 Sv and 3 kmol s⁻¹ during fall to 2.9 Sv and 53 kmol s⁻¹ during spring.     

First record of contourites from Lower Devonian Liptrap Formation in southeast Australia

Typical contourite deposits associated with submarine turbidite fan deposits are recognized for the first time from the Lower Devonian Liptrap Formation at Cape Liatrap, Victoria in southeast Australia. The contourites are well integrated within the turbidite fan deposits and are characterized by thin (5-8 cm), lenticular, well-sorted coarse-grained siltstones to fine-grained sandstones with current-ripples and cross beddings. The palaeocurrent directions of the turbidite fan and contourites are perpendicular to each other, with the former directed generally westward while the latter varying from 165° to 190° southward. In view of the facies types and architecture, we suggest that the turbidite fan was developed at the base of a westward inclined palaeo-slope, at the front of which the contourites were deposited as a result of southward flowing deep-sea contour (geostrophic) currents. The depositional setting inter- preted for the Liptrap Formation thus may provide a provisional model for the Lower Devonian conti- nental slope and abyssal basin environment in the southeastern part of the Melbourne Trough.     

后现代旅游背景下古镇旅游的真实性创造——以云南省楚雄州彝人古镇为例

近代旅游业经过了半个多世纪的发展历程,到20世纪70年代后期,以休闲与文化等精神性旅游需求为特征的旅游者不断涌现,传统旅游资源难以满足现代旅游者的需求,以彝人古镇为例,模仿式旅游资源随之应运而生。尽管学者们对旅游古镇的研究已经司空见惯,不论研究内容,还是研究视角,都具有多样性,但是,模仿式古镇已经超出了传统资源的地域性和文化原真性范畴,从真实性视角对模仿式古镇进行研究成了一个新颖而深刻的问题;彝人古镇是模仿式的、没有原生文化系统的、却以彝族文化为依托的创造性景观,尽管不是真实的传统古镇,却给游客真实的旅游体验,受到旅游者的青睐,可见,真实性是可以创造的,但只有遵循传统文化内涵的创造,才能更好地发挥旅游活动中的文化传播作用。     

基于GIS／RS的西畴县法斗乡土地利用变化研究

随着科学技术的发展,遥感技术运用到土地利用管理中,能够快速提取土地利用变化信息,同时地理信息技术（GIS）迅猛发展,基于这两种技术结合起来探测土地资源的变化具有重要的现实意义。因此,在GIS平台支持下,将土地利用变化分析结果用于土地利用更新从而得到更新后的土地利用现状图。并根据土地利用面积变化、类型等方面对项目区进行了定性定量研究。根据土地利用变化情况以及土地利用各类型之间的相互转换状况,建立了土地利用类型转换矩阵并根据项目区实际情况提出了在石漠化地区生态效益恢复的建议及对策。
