小震密集带与地质活动断裂的关系研究

采用双差地震定位方法对1830年磁县7(1/2)级地震X区及其附近地区小震进行重新定位,划分出小震密集带,根据小震空间分布特征,研究X区范围内断裂构造与小震密集带之间的关系。结果表明,小震主要集中在NE向断裂与磁县—大名断裂交汇处以及断层切割区。     

2010年4月14日青海玉树7.1级地震序列中小地震辐射能量的估计

本文利用震后架设的4个流动台站和震源区周围3个固定台站记录到的青海玉树7.1级地震序列波形资料,资料时间截止到2010年5月19日.经过传播路径效应和场地响应校正后,估算了玉树地震序列中80个中小地震的辐射能量.比较了辐射能量估计中不同方法之间结果存在的差异性,首次考虑了由于仪器频带宽度的限制而造成的中小地震辐射能量的低估与补偿问题,得到以下主要结论:(1)分别采用Andrews方法、震源实际谱方法(区分能量补偿前和后二种情况)和根据理论模型并将积分上限外推到所计算地震拐角频率的10倍的方法(理论谱方法)计算出的中小地震辐射能量4种结果基本上位于同一个量级水平之上,表明结果具有一定的可靠性和稳定性.这其中,Andrews方法得到的辐射能量最低,理论谱方法得到的结果最高,而由实际谱方法得到的地震辐射能量介于两者之间.(2)由古登堡经验公式得到的地震辐射能量远高于上述4种方法计算出的结果,能够达到理论谱方法结果的4倍,而且随震级的增大,由它带来的辐射能量的高估趋势更加明显.(3)由于没有考虑地震能量的补偿,Andrews方法得到的地震辐射量明显偏低.用两种不同方法进行地震辐射能量补偿后得到的结果比较接近,但考虑到仪器频带上限值设定的复杂性,认为由理论谱方法计算中小地震的辐射能量更加合适.(4)经过能量补偿后地震辐射能量要高于未作能量补偿的结果,能量补偿带来的辐射能量增加的作用对于小地震更加明显.在本文研究范围之内,不同方法得到的折合能量均明显存在随地震矩的增大而增大的现象,反映出玉树余震序列中大震地震辐射效率高于小震.     

Analysis of the economic benefits associated with the recovery of threatened marine mammal species in the Canadian St. Lawrence Estuary

This paper examines Canadians' willingness to pay to recover the populations of three marine mammal species found in the St Lawrence Estuary. The valuation approach utilized a stated preference tool that is somewhat a hybrid between contingent valuation and a choice experiment with multiple species recovery program options and choices framed as referenda. Program options involved the use of a marine protected area and restrictions on whale watching and shipping industries. The estimated willingness to pay (WTP) for different levels of marine mammal recovery ranged from $77 to $229 per year per household and varied according to the species affected and the recovery program effort. A series of tests revealed that people would be willing to pay more for programs that contribute to greater increases in marine mammal populations, but the additional value of programs that improve a species status beyond the “at risk” threshold is relatively small.     

Evidence of the restricted gene flow within a small spatial scale in the Japanese common intertidal goby Chaenogobius annularis

Elucidating the scale of gene flow among populations is an important challenge for understanding the ecological dynamics and local adaptation of marine organisms. We assessed whether gene flow is restricted even at a small spatial scale in the Japanese common intertidal goby Chaenogobius annularis, using highly polymorphic DNA markers, involving the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region and 15 microsatellite DNA (msDNA), because past ecological studies have suggested low dispersal ability for rocky intertidal fishes. We found significant heterogeneities between four neighboring local populations by both mtDNA and msDNA analyses. In addition, no genetic heterogeneity was detected by either method across generations within a population; it was considered that such genetic differentiation is retained across generations and that the gene flow of this species is restricted to within a radius of a few kilometers. This is the first report showing a clear genetic subdivision in rocky intertidal fish.     

小尺度海底沉积物的声衰减特性研究

为研究小尺度海底沉积物样品的声衰减特性,作者提出了用声学探针测量海底沉积物声波幅值的新方法,对沉积物样品扰动小,两个测量点的距离可小于波长,为海底沉积物微观声衰减测量提供了新手段。作者用小于波长的间隔逐点测量了沉积物的压缩波幅值,数据分析表明沿沉积物柱状样全长的声衰减满足指数衰减模型。目前主要用同轴差距衰减测量法获得海底沉积物声衰减数据,但该方法不能辨识声衰减模型,因此不同海区的测量结果难以建立联系。对此作者又提出用声吸收系数反演的幅值比与声衰减系数反演的R值(两种幅值比的比值)作评价依据,分析了垂直轴差距衰减测量法获得的南海海底沉积物声衰减测量数据,发现部分沉积物样品声衰减的R值远大于1,其声衰减不满足指数衰减模型。在声衰减满足指数衰减模型的条件下,用Hamilton的声衰减和频率经验公式预报的南海沉积物声衰减比与作者用声学探针测量海底沉积物所得的声衰减比对比,通过对R值分析得出Hamilton的声衰减和频率经验公式可以预报南海沉积物声衰减比的范围。作者提出的声学探针测量海底沉积物声衰减的方法的优点是既能获得声衰减数据又能辨识声衰减模型,不同海区测量的沉积物声衰减比可用R值建立联系。     

中国工业中小企业省区分布及其影响因素

20 世纪90 年代乡镇企业改革以来,中国中小企业空间格局发生了显著变化。现有地理学文献主要关注中小企业空间集聚、集群研究以及八九十年代的中小企业空间分布问题,对于近20 年来宏观层面中小企业空间分布的研究比较薄弱,实证研究尤为缺乏。基于文献回顾,运用GIS 空间分析、测算变差系数CV等方法,分析1997-2010 年中国工业中小企业省区分布的时空格局变化;在此基础上,选取20 个影响因素并建立计量模型,运用SPSS及Eviews软件,系统测算导致中国工业中小企业省区分布变化的影响因素,并根据研究结果提出相关政策建议。研究表明：① 1997-2010 年间,中国工业中小企业的省区分布更加集中、空间差异不断扩大;② 中国工业中小企业省区分布格局是多因素综合作用的结果,其中地区经济实力、金融环境、市场环境及技术创新是首要因素,信息化、劳动力、铁路密度及农业资源是次要因素。     

超小净距隧道爆破振动现场监测及动力响应分析研究

以南京地铁超小净距隧道为工程背景,结合国内外现有研究成果和规范,研究确保小净距先行隧道安全稳定的后行隧道爆破施工控制技术。以现代信息化施工理论为依据,充分运用现场监控量测,对先行隧道爆破质点振动速度进行监测分析和施工中爆破采用减振和隔振两方面控制技术;最终现场监测结果表明,优化后的循环进尺、段最大装药量与分段爆破差等爆破参数设计合理,该爆破设计在施工中未对先行隧道安全产生较大影响;同时,通过三维数值模拟计算,得到先行隧道壁面的质点振动速度随时间的变化规律,所得最大振速符合规范要求,也再次验证了优化后的爆破设计是合理的。通过数据分析得出隧道边墙的切向和径向振速比拱脚相应振速大,爆破面前方先行洞衬砌受爆破振动的影响稍大于后方衬砌,临近爆破点的左线隧道衬砌表面振动大于远离爆破点的衬砌表面振动。该研究成果为本工程施工提供了科学依据与技术指导,也可为类似隧道工程的爆破掘进工程在理论和施工方法上提供参考借鉴。     

A call for Australian loess: discussion and commentary

A study of loess in Australia brings the idea of 'desert' loess back into view. Production of particles in deserts still presents problems, but deserts do make adequate storage regions for loess particles – usually produced in adjacent mountains. Straightforward for Central Asia or China (a particle source in High Asia and convenient deserts en route to eventual deposition), but the Sahara and Australian deserts traditionally present problems. If loess material is allowed to be silt-sized clay agglomerate particles as well as the usual clastic primary minerals, then loess in Australia seems reasonable. Loess acquires its remarkable loessic qualities via aeolian deposition – the nature of the particles is perhaps of lesser importance. A more generalised approach to airborne sediments might be attempted, with two major types of suspension material recognised: large dust (maybe coarse and very coarse silt, say 20–60 µm, or perhaps 4–6 phi) and small dust (fine and very fine silt, 2–8 µm, 7–9 phi). Loess is made from large dust.     

The place of rural, remote and least-wealthy small islands in international water development: the nexus of geography–technology sustainability in Chuuk State, Federated States of Micronesia

Many least-wealthy, rural, remote and resource-poor small island communities are unlikely to benefit from high-profile global water improvement initiatives. Their small landmasses, geologic composition, geography, social and technological isolation, colonial history, and weak educational and financial resources constitute significant barriers to improving access to safe drinking water. This paper discusses the relatively unique position of such island societies in the international community, providing a case study of the Federated States of Micronesia that integrates data and information pertaining to water resources management and governance, spanning from the island village to national scale. A vision is offered regarding the interaction between small island human and biophysical water systems, manifesting ways to pursue water resource development to improve public health which are constructed to be economically, physically and culturally sustainable.     

黄土高原典型小流域道路特征及影响因素

通过GPS野外实测黄土高原纸坊沟小流域的道路特征,在GIS空间分析等方法支持下研究了流域内各级道路的分布规律。研究表明:黄土高原道路可分为4级,2级以下的土路是小流域的代表路型。各级别道路总长度都随级别增大而增加且累计总长度与道路级别线性相关,道路平均长度和密度则随级别增大而减小。道路网系和流域水系在结构规律上具有一定的相似性。不同级别道路分布范围受地形特征影响不同。爬坡道路坡度与地表坡度之间存在线性回归关系,且次级道路分布受主路控制;典型爬坡路在大于25°坡度范围内多呈"之"字形弯曲,随坡度的减小道路弯曲跨度和与等高线夹角增大。研究结果有助于定量模拟黄土高原地区道路分布特征,并为土壤侵蚀模型中道路影响因子的确定提供参考。
