Shifting accountabilities? Understanding the connections between national and provincial fisheries in Papua New Guinea

This paper examines the effects of fisheries decentralization strategies in Papua New Guinea. The paper assess the financial, human resources, information, and institutional mechanisms that the National Fisheries Authority uses to connect with provincial fisheries offices to show the consequences of institutional reforms. The findings suggest both intended and unintended effects, particularly in terms of shifting accountabilities and loyalty. These findings are broadly applicable to decentralization and institutional change scholars and practitioners interested in understanding how governments implement institutional change reforms and the effects of this implementation.     

国家自然科学基金人文地理学项目研究特征简析

以2007-2011 年国家自然科学基金人文地理学代码(D0102) 的申请书作为样本,对申请代码、重点研究领域以及研究内容进行梳理,分析中国人文地理学近期发展特征。分析认为,科学问题综合与学科间交叉研究的增加使人文地理学学科边界呈现模糊化的趋势;研究方向体现了时代特点且各研究方向之间申请数量比较均衡;研究关键词大量涌现但共识性表述相对较少;选题颇具本土应用特点但学科体系建设意识逐步增强。     

基于GIS的震害空间分布图集的设计与编制

快速地生成震害分布预测图,对提高减灾救灾能力有着重要意义。本研究采用3S（地理信息系统—G IS、全球定位系统—GPS和遥感—RS）技术,设计了一套全方位、多角度、综合自然环境、社会经济和人文要素的震害空间分布图集。本文将G IS强大的空间分析和数据管理能力与GPS、RS和地震科学相结合,从设计思想、图集内容、表现形式等方面介绍了专题图集的设计与编制。经过多次地震应急演练,该图集在制图规范化和出图速度方面有了较大的改善,能为应急指挥和辅助决策提供有力的技术保障。     

国内外雪崩灾害研究综述

伴随着全球气候变暖,冰冻圈雪崩灾害潜在风险逐渐增加,雪崩灾害已受到社会各界的广泛关注.目前,在雪崩形成机制、抛程、动态模拟、风险评价与区划、预防与防治等领域取得了较大进展.雪崩灾害研究正在经历由野外观测到遥感手段与野外观测相结合、由定性半定量到定量、由经验估算到过程模拟、由雪崩机理研究向承灾区适应研究转变的发展过程.然而,以往研究过多集中于气候因子、积雪环境、沟道地形等雪崩形成机制研究与动态模拟,而承灾区承灾体脆弱性、暴露性及其适应性研究却相对较少.只有将雪崩始发区和承灾区作为一个整体进行系统研究,通过早期预警、预测和预报,才能使下游承灾区居民防患于未然,以防止或减小雪崩对承灾区居民和财产带来的损失.     

C-N elemental and isotopic investigation in agricultural soils: Insights on the effects of zeolitite amendments

In this paper we present an elemental and isotopic investigation of carbon and nitrogen in the soil-plant system. Plants grown in an unamended soil were compared to plants grown in a soil amended with natural and NH₄⁺-enriched zeolitites. The aim was to verify that zeolitites at natural state increase the chemical fertilization efficiency and the nitrogen transfer from NH₄⁺-enriched zeolitites to plants. Results showed that plants grown on plots amended with zeolitites have generally a δ¹⁵N approaching that of chemical fertilizers, suggesting an enhanced nitrogen uptake from this specific N source with respect to the unamended plot. The δ¹⁵N of plants grown on NH₄⁺-enriched zeolitites was strongly influenced by pig-slurry δ¹⁵N (employed for the enrichment process), confirming the nitrogen transfer from zeolitites to plants. The different agricultural practices are also reflected in the plant physiology as recorded by the carbon discrimination factor, which generally increases in plots amended with natural zeolitites, indicating better water/nutrient conditions.     

Modeling hydraulic fracture propagation using cohesive zone model equipped with frictional contact capability

We present a new pore pressure cohesive element for modeling the propagation of hydraulically induced fracture. The Park-Paulino-Roesler cohesive zone model has been employed to characterize the fracturing behavior. Coulomb’s frictional contact model has been incorporated into the element to model the possible shear reactivation of pre-existing natural fractures. The developed element has been validated through a series of single-element tests and an available analytical solution. Furthermore, intersection behaviors between the hydraulic fracture and the natural fracture under various conditions have been predicted using the present element, which shows good agreement with experimental results.     

浅谈低山丘陵地区1/5万地质灾害调查工作——以江西省定南县为例

近年来,全国各省市陆续在开展1/5万地质灾害调查工作,不同地貌区地质灾害发育情况不同,调查方法与要求亦有区别。平原岗丘地区往往存在地质灾害点达不到观测点数量要求,需要增加地质环境点来满足精度;而西南高山区灾害点少但规模大,许多灾害点往往要通过大比例尺的测绘才能调查清楚。相比之下,低山丘陵地区地质灾害点具有点多面广的特点,规模多为小型,调查任务艰巨。本文以江西省定南县为例,阐述低山丘陵地区1/5万县(市)地质灾害调查的技术方法与认识,以期对类似地区的调查有所帮助。     

济南药山崩塌地质灾害治理方法初探

济南地区的中基性岩体,大面积隐伏分布于济南市北部地带,零星出露为孤峰或丘陵,构成济南地区著名的"齐烟九点"地貌景观。药山为"齐烟九点"之一,地处济南杂岩体的中西部,岩性主要为闪长岩、辉长岩等,块状结构,节理裂隙发育,易球状风化形成临空状危岩体,构成崩塌地质灾害隐患。结合济南药山危岩体组合特征,进行了稳定性计算和分析,提出了不同的治理方案以及具体施工方法和施工顺序,以期达到消除地质灾害隐患的目的,切实保护人民生命财产安全,为类似地区开展地质灾害治理提供参考。
