Identity building and social transformation: the cases of Namibia and Botswana compared

Namibia and Botswana differ from other sub-Saharan nations in their record of stable political performance. However, both countries have to face increasing social problems. In the case of Namibia these are still mainly related to the process of post-apartheid national reconciliation and identity building, in the case of Botswana they refer to issues of growing tribal tensions and of a gradual interior restructuring of society. This paper analyzes the various patterns of social transformation in the two countries and examines in what ways state-society relations are different from other African nations. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

基于Auto CAD.NET API的DWG文件坐标变换的研究及实现

针对工程实践中不同坐标系下DWG数据相互变换的实际需要,通过对DWG数据存储组织结构以及AutoCAD.NET API的深入研究,采用平面四参数转换方法,基于Visual Studio 2010和AutoCAD 2008开发平台,成功开发了DWG数据坐标变换程序。以沈阳市1∶500比例尺、1954北京坐标系的DWG数据为例,实现了不同坐标系下DWG数据的互相变换,并对变换后的数据进行了要素检查和精度分析。结果证明,采用基于AutoCAD.NET API二次开发的技术能够很好地满足DWG数据在不同坐标系下互相变换的应用需求,大大地节省了工作时间,提高了工作效率。     

Observation of gravity waves in a boreal forest

In this paper we report the results of the analysis of two 60-min wave events that occurred in a boreal aspen forest during the 1994 BOREAS (Boreal Ecosystems-Atmosphere Study) field experiment. High frequency wind and temperature data were provided by three 3-D sonic anemometer/thermometers and fourteen fine-wire thermocouples positioned within and above the forest. Wave phase speeds, estimated from information revealed by spectral analysis and linear plane wave equations, are 2.2 and 1.3 m s^-1 for the two events. The wavelengths are 130 m and 65 m respectively and are much larger than the vertical wave displacements. There is strong evidence from the present analysis and from the literature supporting our postulate that these waves are generated by shear instability. We propose that wind shear near the top of the stand is often large enough to reduce the gradient Richardson number below the critical value of 0.25 and thus is able to trigger the instability. When external conditions are favorable, the instability will grow into waves.     

过渡型流体转换对洪水型重力流沉积研究的启示及地质意义

洪水型重力流是重力流沉积学的研究热点,以往研究认为洪水型重力流具有紊流支撑的流体性质,对于其流体性质转化及其沉积记录的识别不够深入。近年研究揭示重力流沉积过程中可形成多种过渡型流体,具有特殊流体转换机制和沉积特征。通过调研国内外最新文献,系统介绍了过渡型流体基本特征、沉积机制方面的研究进展,并讨论了其对洪水型重力流沉积研究的启示及地质意义。研究结果表明：在少量黏土矿物影响下,沉积物重力流流体的性质即可由紊流向层流转化,形成特殊的过渡型流体。转化过程主要取决于黏土矿物含量和类型控制的流体内聚力和流速控制的紊流应力二者之间的相互作用。过渡型流体可以产生大型流水沙纹（large current ripple）、砂质纹层—泥质纹层间互形成的低幅度沙波（low amplitude bed wave）等独特的底床类型。尽管实验研究揭示了过渡型流体可能形成的沉积底床特征,针对洪水型重力流沉积记录中过渡型流体的解释仍十分缺乏,尤其是过渡型流体转换机制及其沉积响应仍亟待深入探索。过渡型流体的沉积底形是研究洪水型重力流沉积动力机制的重要载体,可为深入理解洪水型重力流沉积过程提供新视角,同时可能具有更广泛的沉积学研究价值。     

硝基苯在傍河地下水源地迁移转化的数值模拟研究

通过开展室内模拟实验研究,探讨硝基苯在傍河水源地的迁移规律、转化机理及其影响因素。在实验的基础上,构建描述硝基苯在傍河地下水源地迁移转化的数学模型。数值模拟结果表明：淤泥介质对硝基苯的吸附能力相对较高,硝基苯在淤泥中的线性吸附系数为0.526 cm³/g,在砂砾中的线性吸附系数为0.123 cm³/g;硝基苯在淤泥介质中的生物降解作用也明显大于在砂砾介质中,其在淤泥介质中的生物降解速率常数可达0.043 h^-1,而在砂砾介质中仅为0.002 h^-1。本次对室内硝基苯迁移转化实验的数值模拟效果较为理想,模拟结果对硝基苯在含水层中的迁移过程和转化规律进行了科学合理的量化描述,可将该模型进一步用于野外硝基苯迁移转化的模拟预测中。

Constitutive model for cyclic behaviour of cohesionless sands

This paper presents a constitutive model for describing the stress-strain response of sands under cyclic loading. The model, formulated using the critical state theory within the bounding surface plasticity framework, is an upgraded version of an existing model developed for monotonic behaviour of cohesionless sands. With modification of the hardening law, plastic volumetric strain increment and unloading plastic modulus, the original model was modified to simulate cyclic loading. The proposed model was validated against triaxial cyclic loading tests for Fuji River sand, Toyoura sand and Nigata sand. Comparison between the measured and predicted results suggests that the proposed modified model can capture the main features of cohesionless sands under drained and undrained cyclic loading.
