中国区域经济差异形成的三次地理要素

关于地理要素对经济差异的影响,国际上已经做了大量研究。为了探讨地理要素对中国经济差异的影响程度,在Krugman的关于城市聚集的两大自然理论基础之上,提出了影响经济差异的三大地理要素,分别为自然地理环境要素、交通和区位要素以及人力资本和研发水平要素,并通过建模,从全国和三大地带的尺度上细致地分析了各地理要素对经济分异的影响。研究发现,在中国,自然地理环境对经济发展的作用得到了验证和充实,这为揭示地理环境作用提供了主要依据,扩展了国际上Sachs等人关于地理要素对经济发展的认识。目前我国经济正处于转型期,在各地理要素中,影响经济差异最大的为交通便利性指数,影响程度为0.374,因此交通基础建设投资应继续加大。     

医药地质学浅析

地质作用、地质环境、医药矿产与人类生存、健康的关系极为密切,建立和发展医药地质学有利于科学、系统、深入地探究其内在关系,促进地质学在生命科学中发挥就有的作用。医药地质学建立的思想基础是人地同一理论,实践基础是药用矿产在人类防病,治病和保健中的广泛应用及科学研究,技术支撑是无机、有机成分的微区、微量等现代测试、分析技术的进步。本文论述了医药地质及其建立的基础,展示了医药地质学在地质学和生命科学发展中

北京地区细菌性痢疾医疗气象预报模式及流行风险水平评估

研究了北京市海淀区2004～2006年全年逐日细菌性痢疾发病率与地面气象要素的相关关系.结果发现,细菌性痢疾发病与水汽压(空气绝对湿度)高度相关,单相关系数平均可达0.85以上.在所有候选预报因子中,它的方差贡献可占80%.采用多元回归概率分级技术,建立了细菌性痢疾医疗气象预报及风险水平评估模式.该模式预报结果可为各级疾病预防控制中心指导广大城乡居民卫生防疫提供科学依据.     

基于ArcGIS的面状要素中轴线提取方法研究

专题制图中利用遥感技术获取专题要素和地理底图要素已成为大势所趋,而如何实现面状要素中轴线的提取从而获得线状道路、线状河流等底图要素一直是GIS界研究的热点。本文通过对ArcGIS9.0中提供的各种功能模块的综合应用实现了面状要素中轴线的自动提取。经实验这种方法简单实用、效果理想,效率很高。     

AIDS NORTH AND SOUTH: DIFFUSION PATTERNS OF A GLOBAL EPIDEMIC AND A RESEARCH AGENDA FOR GEOGRAPHERS *

Apart from the tragic certainty of death which accompanies AIDS everywhere, the means of its transmission, the spatial patterns of its diffusion, and the groups at highest risk of infection vary considerably among world regions. This paper reviews the disease and its transmission, then proposes three models of AIDS diffusion to assess the implications of the epidemic on various regions. AIDS North, of North America and western Europe, is urban based and primarily confined to homosexuals and IV drug abusers. AIDS South, in central Africa and the Caribbean, is spreading from cities into rural regions and affects primarily heterosexuals. The third, an AIDS North/South hybrid, is postulated as a model of diffusion of the disease in other Third World regions. The final section addresses the potential contribution of geographic research to policy-makers in attempting to cope with the diffusion of AIDS and in curbing the epidemic's advance.

An organizational model and border port hinterlands for the China-Europe Railway Express

Facilities connectivity is a priority area for implementing the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The “China-Europe Railway Express” (CER Express) mode of transport organization links China with Europe by fast-track cargo rail. A major instance of facilities connectivity related to this project is an important practical and symbolic instance of BRI transport cooperation. The strategic significance of the CER Express and a number of operational issues are outlined, as are the implications of limited market potential for costs and competitiveness. A “hub-and-spoke” organizational model that can generate scale economies and reduce costs is proposed. To examine the establishment of an organizational model of this kind, the economic hinterlands of Alashankou, Erenhot, and Manzhouli are identified under high-, mediumand low-cost scenarios using an analytical methodology that determines distance and economic costs, and a number of transport hubs (that include Harbin, Zhengzhou, and Lanzhou) are identified. The results found that the cost of the routes from 314 Chinese cities to Moscow is the lowest via Manzhouli in the high- and medium-cost scenarios, but the routes change via Erenhot in the low-cost scenario. A number of policy recommendations should follow up.
