Effects of green space spatial pattern on land surface temperature: Implications for sustainable urban planning and climate change adaptation

The urban heat island (UHI) refers to the phenomenon of higher atmospheric and surface temperatures occurring in urban areas than in the surrounding rural areas. Mitigation of the UHI effects via the configuration of green spaces and sustainable design of urban environments has become an issue of increasing concern under changing climate. In this paper, the effects of the composition and configuration of green space on land surface temperatures (LST) were explored using landscape metrics including percentage of landscape (PLAND), edge density (ED) and patch density (PD). An oasis city of Aksu in Northwestern China was used as a case study. The metrics were calculated by moving window method based on a green space map derived from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery, and LST data were retrieved from Landsat TM thermal band. A normalized mutual information measure was employed to investigate the relationship between LST and the spatial pattern of green space. The results showed that while the PLAND is the most important variable that elicits LST dynamics, spatial configuration of green space also has significant effect on LST. Though, the highest normalized mutual information measure was with the PLAND (0.71), it was found that the ED and PD combination is the most deterministic factors of LST than the unique effects of a single variable or the joint effects of PLAND and PD or PLAND and ED. Normalized mutual information measure estimations between LST and PLAND and ED, PLAND and PD and ED and PD were 0.7679, 0.7650 and 0.7832, respectively. A combination of the three factors PLAND, PD and ED explained much of the variance of LST with a normalized mutual information measure of 0.8694. Results from this study can expand our understanding of the relationship between LST and street trees and vegetation, and provide insights for sustainable urban planning and management under changing climate.

Reliability analysis of piles in spatially varying soils considering multiple failure modes

In most limit state design codes, the serviceability limit checks for drilled shafts still use deterministic approaches. Moreover, different limit states are usually considered separately. This paper develops a probabilistic framework to assess the serviceability performance with the consideration of soil spatial variability in reliability analysis. Specifically, the performance of a drilled shaft is defined in terms of the vertical settlement, lateral deflection, and angular distortion at the top of the shaft, corresponding to three limit states in the reliability analysis. Failure is defined as the event that the displacements exceed the corresponding tolerable displacements. The spatial variability of soil properties is considered using random field modeling. To illustrate the proposed framework, this study assesses the reliability of each limit state and the system reliability of a numerical example of a drilled shaft. The results show the system reliability should be considered for the serviceability performance. The importance measures of the random variables indicate that the external loads, the performance criteria, the model errors of load transfer curves and soil strength parameter are the most important factors in reliability analysis. Moreover, it is shown that the correlation length and coefficient of variation of soil strength can exert significant impacts on the calculated failure probability.     

未确知测度BP神经网络模型在黑河流域水质预测中的应用

水质预测是水环境规划、评价和管理的重要依据,对促进水资源可持续利用及生态发展具有重要意义。针对水质预测中各项因子的不确定性,基于未确知测度理论(unascertained measure,UM),采用改变网络初值的方法,对BP神经网络加以改进,并利用黑河流域莺落峡水文站1998~2011年的水质监测资料进行分析和预测。以挥发酚为参考序列,用灰色关联方法分析参考序列与其他因子的关联度,并最终确定BP网络的输入节点为CODmn、DO、SO42-、Cr6+以及挥发酚,输出节点为挥发酚,从而建立UMBP模型。分析结果表明,UM-BP预测模型比标准的BP神经网络模型具有更高的预测精度。因此,该模型应用于黑河流域水质预测是可行的。     

东北地区农业现代化发展水平测度与时空演变分析

率先实现农业现代化是全面振兴、全方位振兴东北老工业基地的重大任务。根据中国农业现代化理论内涵和实践要求,从投入、产出、社会发展3个维度构建农业现代化评价指标体系,对2008年、2018年东北地区40个地级行政单元的农业现代化水平进行测度与阶段划分。结果表明：① 从空间格局看,东北地区农业现代化水平呈现出“沿东北-西南轴线地区较高,轴线东西两侧地区较低”的空间格局,三江平原、松嫩平原及环渤海地区为高值集聚区;② 从发展速度看,东北地区各地市农业现代化水平整体有所提高,北部地区发展速度整体大于南部;③ 从所处阶段看,2018年处在农业现代化“初步实现”的地市占比达86%,东北地区农业现代化水平总体处在由“初步实现”向“基本实现”的转变阶段;④ 农业现代化发展水平3个分维度指标在地理空间上也表现出一定的地域分异格局;⑤ 不同地区应针对发展优势及资源禀赋,走符合自身特点的农业现代化路径。
