基于能值法的乌兹别克斯坦食物消费及其特征分析（英文）

食物资源对人类生存至关重要,因此探究食物资源利用及其结构演变规律很有意义,对一些发展中国家尤其如此。本研究的基础数据主要来源于联合国粮食及农业组织和世界银行,采用能值法对乌兹别克斯坦自1992至2019年间的食物消费变化及其特征进行研究分析。主要得到以下两点结论：（1）国家食物消费呈现持续增加态势且具有明显的阶段性特征,主要包括低速反复阶段、快速提升阶段和高水平发展阶段。动物性食物消费变化较植物性食物更加显著;（2）人均食物年消费量变化同国家食物消费有相似的变化趋势。在人均食物年消费中,动物性食物消费占比一般比植物性食物占比高出2倍。当前乌兹别克斯坦居民食物消费主要是谷物和肉类相结合,其中谷物消费以小麦为主,肉类消费中以牛肉为主。此外,水果和蔬菜的消费需求进一步增多。随着人口进一步增加,食物多样性需求将更加强烈。当前,采取可持续性的措施以满足新的食物消费需求并保护资源和环境是非常必要的。     

中国化肥利用率的区域分异

据全国各县近10年的化肥施用量和粮食产量数据，并从不同年份单位播种面积粮食产量和肥料施用量的变化，求出相应不施肥产量和通过施肥可能达到的最高产量，并以上述结果为基础计算出该地区化肥利用率，研究结果表明：当前我国化肥施用的地区差异明显，施用量较集中范围是180－270kg/hm^2和90－180kg/hm^2，部分地区的化肥施用已经过量；单位化肥的粮食产出率主要集中在10－30kg/kg，化肥利用率大多集中在15％－35％，且与化肥施用量有关，按地区统计，高施肥量区化肥施用明显过量，平均达339kg/hm^2，是全国平均用量（262kg/hm^2)的1．29倍，中施肥量区单位面积化肥平均施用量为252kg/hm^2，略低于全国平均水平，低施肥量区则仅为178kg/hm^2，是全国平均的67．8％，我国单位化肥的生产效率及化肥利用率均以低施肥量区最高，分别为17．5kg/kg和39．8％，中施肥量区为13．7和36。     

黄土高原西部植物耗水实验研究

针对兰州地区8种常见植物的盆栽试验,比较了其耗水量的变化特征,结果表明：在充分供水条件下,8种植物在试验期间内都能正常生长,植物耗水量从大到小排序为：柽柳＞柠条＞芨芨草＞侧柏＞甘蒙锦鸡儿＞紫穗槐＞红砂＞珍珠;在集雨条件下,植物耗水排序为：芨芨草＞珍珠＞柠条、侧柏、甘蒙锦鸡儿、＞红砂、紫穗槐＞柽柳,但柽柳和紫穗槐在集雨条件下生长出现干枝,生长不好。在雨养条件下,除红砂、甘蒙锦鸡儿、珍珠受到干旱胁迫不明显外,其余植物不同程度上有枯叶出现。紫穗槐死亡,柽柳接近死亡,其他植物耗水排序为：珍珠、芨芨草＞侧柏、甘蒙锦鸡儿、柠条＞红砂。     

世界核电工业发展与地理格局的初探

核电工业自本世纪50年代以来发展迅速,其发电量不断上升,且有与火电、水电并行发展的趋势。本文在论述世界核电工业发展的基本情况后,以核电大国法国为典型代表,分析了核电工业的地位和地域分布特点,初浅地总结了核电工业的地理空间格局。     

论海权与航空母舰时代的中国海军建设

随着全球化进程的加快,中国正日益走向世界。作为连接世界各大洲的媒介,海洋对于中国未来的发展具有越来越重大的意义。然而,中国的海洋利益正不断遭到周边国家侵蚀。为保卫自身的海洋权益,中国必须发展自身的海权。发展海权的核心之一在于建设强大海军,中国现有的海军力量尚不足以担负起这个重任。为了满足国家利益和国家战略的需要,中国海军必须在军种战略、编制体制、兵力结构等方面进行调整,并在科学技术、军事训练等方面取得长足进步。     

用于可重构机床控制系统的电力线通信技术

介绍了可重构机床对通信系统的要求,提出了一种基于宽带电力线通信（PLC,PowerLine Communication）技术的新型通信系统．通过对机床电力线的信道特性和噪声频谱的分析与测量,选定了通信系统的载波频率和带宽等参数．为了对抗电力线信道的多径效应,提高频谱利用率,实现可靠高效的数据传输,采用正交频分复用技术（OFDM,Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex）作为调制解调方式．开发了PLC调制解调器,定义了物理层帧结构．最后以机床主轴伺服系统为例对该通信系统进行了实验验证．实验结果表明,该系统实现了有效数据传输率10Mbit／s,误比特率（BER,Bit Error Rate）小于10^-8的高效数据传输．     

The Sustainable Global Energy Economy: Hydrogen or Silicon?

A sustainable global silicon energy economy is proposed as a potential alternative to the hydrogen economy. This first visualization of a silicon energy economy is based on large-scale and carbon-neutral metallic silicon production from major smelters in North Africa and elsewhere, supplied by desert silica sand and electricity from extensive solar generating systems. The resulting “fuel silicon” is shipped around the world to emission-free silicon power stations for either immediate electricity generation or stockpiling. The high energy density of silicon and its stable storage make it an ideal material for maintaining national economic functioning through security of base load power supply from a renewable source. This contrasts with the present situation of fossil fuel usage with its associated global warming and geopolitical supply uncertainties. Critical technological requirements for the silicon economy are carbon-neutral silicon production and the development of efficient silicon-fired power stations capable of high-temperature rapid oxidation of fuel silicon. A call is made for the development of research effort into these specific engineering issues, and also with respect to large-scale economical solar power generation.     

Making ends meet, in the household and on the planet

Policy-making in relation to sustainable development is usually at the national (or, in relation to climate change, the global) level, yet the consumption it seeks to modify takes place at the household level. If households all ‘made ends meet’ in the same way then the much-relied upon notion of per capita consumption would be valid and we could rely on ‘top-down’ modelling to guide policy. Cultural Theory, however, predicts that there are five socially viable ways of making ends meet, and that all of them will be found (in varying proportions) within any nation. This prediction has been tested on a sample of 220 British households and shown to be well supported. Top-down modelling, it is argued, has to give way to a constructive interplay between the reflexive policy-maker and a plurally responsive citizenry.

远东热点:朝鲜半岛形势分析

朝鲜半岛独特的地理位置，无论对周边的中，俄，日三国，还是对大洋彼岸的美国都具有十分重要的地缘战略意义。如果说这里是四大国利益相互交错的唯一地区，那么解决朝鲜半岛问题便不仅取决于半岛内部北，南双方的互动关系，而且取决于四大四的立场及东北亚政治地理格局的演变态势。近年来随着朝鲜北，南双方首脑的成功会晤，朝鲜半岛的和平统一进程迈出了实质性步伐。但由于朝鲜半岛问题牵涉面广，影响因素复杂，从而使半岛的和平统一进程出现了一波三折的复杂局面，本文从政治地理学角度对半岛形势进行了分析。供关心朝鲜半岛局势的同仁参考。
