基于时-空ETAS模型给出的川滇地区背景地震活动和强震潜在危险区

利用基于时-空传染型余震序列（Epidemic Type Aftershock Sequence, 简称ETAS）模型的随机除丛法,重新审视了2008年5月12日汶川M_S8.0地震前可能存在的长期地震活动异常,研究了川滇地区背景地震活动特征,并评估了当前的强震危险状态.对川滇地区1970年以来的M_L3.0以上的背景地震和丛集地震活动的研究结果表明,该地区地震丛集特征明显、时空分布很不均匀、地震序列常有前震事件.直接将概率值作为地震计数的权重,对地震丛集率空间分布图像分析表明,汶川M_S8.0地震前,龙门山断裂带中南段存在着长期、大范围的地震丛集率低值区,震前该段处于应力闭锁状态.对川滇地区地震丛集率低值区内背景地震与全部地震的累积次数、b值和新定义的Δb等统计参量的分析表明,龙日坝与龙门山断裂带具有地震活动的关联性,川滇地区当前的强震潜在危险区可能是巧家地区和汶川M_S8.0地震破裂尚未穿越的龙门山断裂带南段.此外,还发现b值倾向于反映局部应力场变化,而Δb能较为敏感地给出更大范围应力场的相对变化.

基于相对资源承载力信息的主体功能区划分研究——以长江流域为例

在主体功能区划分的现有研究中,大多数学者将重点放在了多级指标的选取和权重的设置上,因而造成标准过于繁冗、应用受限的问题。通过考查资源承载力与主体功能区的内在联系,将主体功能区的划分建立在区域资源承载力的测度之上,构建了基于相对资源承载力的主体功能区划分模型。将这一模型运用于长江流域,得出如下结论:在全国层面上,长江上游地区应划为重点开发区;在区域层面上,重庆、四川为优化开发区,云南、贵州为重点开发区。

Securing the Neoliberal City: Discourses of Creativity and Priority Neighborhoods in Toronto,Canada

This paper examines the convergence between the discourse of the creative city and the discourse on priority neighborhoods within urban policy imaginaries in Toronto, Canada. In particular, it examines the development of a number of arts programs targeted at low-income neighborhoods in the city. The twin objectives of these programs are to (a) foster creative and entrepreneurial subjectivities among “at-risk” youth, and (b) reduce the risk of violence that is presumed to be associated with youths living in poor neighborhoods. The paper analyzes how these two discourses are intertwined in a neoliberal politics devoted to enhancing regional quality-of-life competitiveness and to branding Toronto as an attractive creative-class destination. [Key words: creative city, poverty, low-income neighborhoods, neoliberalism, Toronto.]     

基于K-Means聚类的辽宁省主体功能区试划研究

在国家提出的新的主体功能区概念体系和划分思路前提下,基于辽宁省主体功能区划定要求的8个基本指标项定量综合评价基础数据,选择“典型的”优化开发区、重点开发区、农产品主产区和重点生态功能区,采用K-Means聚类方法,分别在不指定初始聚类中心、指定初始聚类中心、以及PCA分析（即主成份分析）基础上指定初始聚类中心3种方法,对于全省100个县市区做4类主体功能区试划分.分别将划分结果与全省最终采用的划分方案进行比较,结果表明采用在PCA分析基础上指定初始聚类中心技术方法的划分结果更接近最终采用方案.     

Delineating groundwater potential zones in a hard-rock terrain using geospatial tool

Abstract

Geospatial techniques have become one of the leading tools in the field of natural sciences for assessment, monitoring and management of natural resources, particularly in groundwater research. The paper discusses the demarcation and assessment of groundwater potential zones using geospatial techniques in the Deccan Volcanic Province of Maharashtra, India, using multi-criteria analyses. The study incorporates integration of thematic information (geomorphology, lithology, drainage density, slope and lineaments) in a GIS environment in order to identify groundwater potential zones. The methodology adopted can be used as a rapid assessment tool in groundwater exploration and is helpful in predictive groundwater resource management. Multi-criteria evaluation techniques were used to integrate all the thematic layers. Individual themes and their corresponding categories were assigned a knowledge base ranking from 1 to 5, depending on their importance for groundwater potential. Using the Raster calculator tool in Arc GIS software, all thematic maps were integrated to produce a composite groundwater potential map of the study area. The identified groundwater potential zones were classified into four classes, from excellent to poor. The generated groundwater potential zones were validated with field checks and borewell/dugwell yield data, and showed consistency with the observations.

Multi-objective optimization for sustainable groundwater resource management in a semiarid catchment

Abstract

Groundwater is an important water resource and its management is vital for integrated water resources development in semiarid catchments. The River Shiyang catchment in the semiarid area of northwestern China was studied to determine a sustainable multi-objective management plan of water resources. A multi-objective optimization model was developed which incorporated water supplies, groundwater quality, ecology, environment and economics on spatial and temporal scales under various detailed constraints. A calibrated groundwater flow model was supplemented by grey simulation of groundwater quality, thus providing two lines of evidence to use in the multi-objective water management. The response matrix method was used to link the groundwater simulation models and the optimization model. Multi-phase linear programming was used to minimize and compromise the objectives for the multi-period, conjunctive water use optimization model. Based on current water demands, this water use optimization management plan was able to meet ecological, environmental and economic objectives, but did not find a final solution to reduce the overall water deficit within the catchment.
