地貌发育阶段的定量研究

文章提出用临界侵蚀积分值作为划分流域发育阶段的定量指标,是对经典理论的发展,主要表现在:1)将地貌发育阶段纳入开放系统的概念之中;2)避免高程积分法在划分发育阶段上的不确定性;3)建立地貌发育阶段与流域物质迁移之间的定量关系;4)区分自然侵蚀和加速侵蚀。用文中的临界侵蚀方程对黄土高原丘陵沟壑区分析计算,得到临界侵蚀积分值为0.30和0.70,即当侵蚀积分值小于0.30寸,流域处于侵蚀早期;当侵蚀积分值大于0.30,小于0.70时,流域处于侵蚀中期;当侵蚀积分值大于0.70时,流域处于侵蚀晚期。对于纯自然侵蚀过程,与临界侵蚀积分值相对应的年代及侵蚀模数为7万年前,7008t/km~2·a和距今7.2万年以后,7008t/km~2·a。目前黄土高原丘陵沟壑区加速侵蚀所占比例为30％。

Framing industrialization of the offshore wind value chain – A discourse approach to an event

The paper explores value chain governance through a discourse approach to an event which included an exhibition and a conference. This approach appears promising for investigating industries in their formative phase and is particularly relevant for new renewable energy sectors. By studying the European offshore wind value chain, the paper investigates the coupling between wind industries and offshore industries as an encounter of various conventions. The key speakers at the conference, particularly those from the utility companies, introduced new principles for organizing the value chains they are leading, in order to reduce costs, and turn the immature sector into a mature one. Their storyline of industrialization by standardization breaks, however, with the storyline demonstrated by the firms in offshore oil and gas, and maritime industries at the exhibition. The latter offshore suppliers find evidence of quality in their business history and their trust-based relations to their clients. Theoretically the paper contributes to the global value chain governance debate by offering another perspective on power. The discourse approach helps us explain how influential actors could enforce one convention over another. The paper contributes methodically by suggesting a discourse approach to events. Events appear as a significant arena for negotiating industry formation and convenient for researcher’s data gathering for text analysis.     

Efficient Bayesian networks for slope safety evaluation with large quantity monitoring information

New sensing and wireless technologies generate massive data. This paper proposes an efficient Bayesian network to evaluate the slope safety using large-quantity field monitoring information with underlying physical mechanisms. A Bayesian network for a slope involving correlated material properties and dozens of observational points is constructed.     

Curating the quest for ‘good food’: The practices,spatial dynamics and influence of food-related curation in Sweden

What is ‘good food’? Is it fair trade, local, organic or ethically produced? With an ever-expanding array of products and ‘qualities’ to consider, consumers in the global North may find it increasingly difficult and time-consuming to make the ‘right’ choices. As a result, a range of intermediaries, including food apps and collective buying groups, are emerging to support and influence people with their food choices. While intermediation refers to all activities linking producers and consumers, this paper narrows the focus and considers one important, yet poorly understood, intermediary function within the food marketplace: ‘curation’. Although the concept of curation has long been associated with museums and art worlds, curatorial practices are evolving in the contemporary marketplace and are performed by a growing range of actors operating in physical, temporary and virtual spaces. Rather than acting as brokers or gatekeepers, curators interpret, translate and shape the marketplace by sorting, organising, evaluating and ascribing value(s) to specific products. They also offer general and personalised recommendations to consumers. Although the literature on local food privileges the direct relations between producers and consumers, this paper considers the important role of intermediaries. Drawing on interviews and participant observation in Sweden it contributes to the existing literature on curation by examining the spatial dynamics and nature of curatorial practices, the motivations behind them and the values they create for consumers. The findings demonstrate that a range of activities can be understood as curation and that in order to nuance and extend existing conceptualisations of curation a wider and more dynamic range of actors (food apps), spaces (blogs) and values such as inspiration, convenience and sense of community need to be considered.     

Knowledge,transparency, and refutability in groundwater models,an example from the Death Valley regional groundwater flow system

This work demonstrates how available knowledge can be used to build more transparent and refutable computer models of groundwater systems. The Death Valley regional groundwater flow system, which surrounds a proposed site for a high level nuclear waste repository of the United States of America, and the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS), where nuclear weapons were tested, is used to explore model adequacy, identify parameters important to (and informed by) observations, and identify existing old and potential new observations important to predictions. Model development is pursued using a set of fundamental questions addressed with carefully designed metrics. Critical methods include using a hydrogeologic model, managing model nonlinearity by designing models that are robust while maintaining realism, using error-based weighting to combine disparate types of data, and identifying important and unimportant parameters and observations and optimizing parameter values with computationally frugal schemes. The frugal schemes employed in this study require relatively few (10–1000 s), parallelizable model runs. This is beneficial because models able to approximate the complex site geology defensibly tend to have high computational cost. The issue of model defensibility is particularly important given the contentious political issues involved.

高阶旋转交错网格有限差分方法模拟TTI介质中横波分裂

笔者给出了一种能够模拟弹性波在任意各向异性介质中传播的二维三分量高阶有限差分算法.相对于常规交错网格有限差分方法,旋转交错网格有限差分方法在介质具有强差异性时能更精确地模拟地震波的传播,避免常规交错网格中因对弹性系数进行插值而带来的误差.采用高阶旋转交错网格有限差分方法模拟并分析了零偏移距横波分裂现象随裂缝介质方位角和倾角变化的响应特征.结果表明:结合完全匹配层(PML)吸收边界条件的高阶旋转交错网格有限差分方法能获得高精度的地震波场模拟数据,并且在边界具有良好的吸收效果;横波分裂现象主要受裂缝走向与波的极化方向之间的夹角影响,受裂缝倾角影响较小,且快慢横波的能量也跟裂缝走向与波极化方向间的夹角有关.具有倾斜对称轴的横向各向同性(TTI)介质倾角的变化可能会导致记录中波到达时的变化,影响快慢横波的时差.利用横波分裂的能量分布和方位各向异性特征,可以帮助检测裂缝的方位角和倾角.横波在多层TTI介质中传播时会发生多次分裂的现象.     

黄土震陷研究及相关问题探讨

回顾了30多年来关于黄土震陷的研究工作和成果.黄土震陷已为微结构特征、动三轴和现场爆破试验所证实,成为黄土地震工程研究领域的一项重要课题,但仍缺少典型震例,且停留在饱和土理论研究阶段.应用微结构形态学方法表征土体结构性变得困难,土力学方法将是微结构应用于震陷性研究的有效途径.震陷性判定仅是在多个参变量值区间内的确定性判定,概率性震陷预测应得到开展.震陷系数估算多是基于室内试验数据的经验公式或半经验半理论公式,并未完全解决其物理过程和力学机制问题,比如参变量多、计算繁琐和实用性差等,故应从黄土震陷的物理力学机制出发,厘清影响黄土震陷的主导因素及其表征参变量,建立具有物理力学意义的数学理论估算模型.抗震陷处理技术的关键是消除土体的震陷性,并减缓震陷时土与土工结构物的相互作用.     

三维TTI介质相速度和群速度

相速度和群速度是研究地震波传播规律和描述介质特性的重要参数,是弹性波传播理论中的核心内容,在理论研究和实际应用中有重要作用.本文根据VTI介质的刚度矩阵,利用Bond变换建立了TTI介质刚度矩阵.再利用TTI介质刚度矩阵,结合弹性动力学的本构方程、牛顿运动微分方程和几何方程,得到了三维TTI介质弹性波波动方程和Christoffel方程.通过本征值方法求解Christoffel方程,推导了三维TTI介质弹性波相速度的解析表达式.利用Berryman和Crampin推导各向异性介质群速度公式,根据三维TTI介质的相速度解析式推导了三维TTI介质群速度解析表达式.数值试例表明,随着各向异性介质参数改变,TI介质弹性波相速度变化较为平缓,群速度变化较为剧烈,qP波和SH波速度变化较为平缓,qSV波速度变化较为剧烈.
