干旱区凝结水研究进展

凝结水是维系干旱、半干旱地区主要食物链的水分来源之一,具有重要的生态意义。较详细地列举了目前国内外在干旱区测定凝结量及其持续时间所采用的研究方法,从凝结水的数量特征以及时间格局两方面阐述了不同地域凝结水的时空差异性,并从气象因素、凝结面的类型及其位置、周边植被对其作用等方面综合分析了影响凝结水发生的主要因素,探讨了干旱区凝结水的生态作用及其意义,展望了干旱区凝结水未来的研究趋势。提出在未来的干旱区凝结水研究中应加强与气象学、生态学等多学科的交叉,从能量平衡角度加强对凝结水量的研究;同时,改进和规范凝结水的测量方法,开展荒漠植被对凝结水的生理响应研究以及凝结水对极端干旱胁迫植物的作用研究。     

青藏高原土壤水热分布特征及冻融过程在季节转换中的作用

利用GAME-Tibet期间所取得的高分辩率土壤温度和含水量资料，对青藏高原（主要是藏北高原）土壤水热分布特征及冻融过程在季节转换中的作用进行了分析。指出藏北高原4cm学深处土壤在10月份开始冻结，次年4-5月份开始消融，冻结持续时间长达5-7个月。冻结过程有利于土壤维持其水分，因此，在刚刚开始消融时土壤含水量仍然很高。从而为夏季风爆发前土壤通过蒸发向大气提供水分打下了基础。指出土壤冻融过程可能在高原季节转换中起着重要作用。     

曼春满村寨民族旅游中村民社会角色变化调查研究

民族旅游是云南省的主体旅游之一，在民族旅游中，云南农村广大村民的社会角色在许多方面发生了较大的变化。西双版纳傣族自治州景洪市勐罕镇曼春满村寨旅游景点旅游开发价值高，景点开发较早，旅游业发展较快，经历了从起步到较成熟的4个阶段。村民在参与旅游业的过程中，传统产业被放弃或减少；家庭经济收入逐步转变为以旅游业为主；家庭消费更多地投入精神产品；村民人际关系中融入了经济因素和竞争意识；夫妻家庭劳动分工中，从事旅游业的妻子已基本不干农活和少做家务；以儿媳为代表的女性在家庭中的地位空前提高；村民思想意识等方面受到外来者的影响，拉近了村民与城市居民的距离。     

Protected geographical indications: Institutional roles in food systems governance and rural development

This paper examines the importance of national-level institutional arrangements for promoting the EU’s Protected Geographic Indication scheme (PGI). Taking the example of Ireland, for which PGI designations remain comparatively low, it explores whether the approach to providing institutional supports to the PGI scheme is influenced by top-down technocratic governance structures that pertain to food safety and quality certification that encompass the broader operating environment for food production in Ireland. Although the regulation of food safety and quality certification are distinct remits to the administration of the PGI scheme, in the Irish context the same institutional bodies are involved in governance of both. Using a discourse analysis interpretative framework, this paper draws on interviews with Irish producer group members and institutional representatives to examine how governance of the PGI scheme reflects management perspectives and practices more in keeping with a regulatory environment for food safety and quality than with development of place-based food product links. It suggests that incentives to avail of the PGI scheme as a means of realising value-added for producers are not well established because they require the development of more subjective, context-dependent processes and practices linked to geographical place and place identity. These are not easily accommodated under current institutional arrangements that also incorporate food safety and quality remits because these are in turn strongly established through nationally and internationally recognised systems of regulation and benchmarking. The findings point to the benefits to be gained from a more layered governance structure for PGI; devolving operation of the scheme to relevant regional and local development organisations that possess the expertise and relevant local knowledge to (a) incentivise the formation of producer groups, and (b) prioritise mentoring and support for PGI concept development as a clearer reflection of bottom-up rural sustainability policy.

油田卤水中短链有机酸的来源,分布及其地球化学意义

在几乎所有的油田卤水(地层水)中都含有高浓度的短链有机酸,通常乙酸根是其中最丰富的有机阴离子。大量的模拟实验表明干酪根是有机酸最主要的来源。短链有机酸有着重要的地球化学意义,(1)可以作为石油勘探的近似指示物,(2)它们可能是天然气中某些主要成分的母体,(3)它们是地层水中最主要的弱酸阴离子,因此控制了地层水的pH值的缓冲能力,(4)作为还原剂,它们控制了地层水的Eh值和多价元素的浓度,(5)实验表明,它们还能够与储集岩中的铝、钙、硅等无机离子形成可溶络合物,使长石类矿物的溶解作用增强,从而导致砂岩储层中次生孔隙加大。     

Architects and planners approaches to urban form and design in the Toronto region: A comparative analysis

This study compares architectural and planning approaches to urban form and design within a North American context. It presents a critical assessment of the results of semi-structured, in-depth interviews with a group of highly experienced architects, landscape architects, and planners from the Greater Toronto Region. Dialogues with practitioners revealed a growing intellectual divide in regard to understanding urban form and design issues. Planners portrayed the urban form as a product of social and economic forces or a backdrop for civic institutions, private development initiatives, and public action. Architects and landscape architects, on the other hand, emphasized the importance of built configurations and spatial relations in shaping economic, social, and cultural patterns. With such a polarized perspective of urban development processes, each group of practitioners proposed different and somewhat contradictory visions for the future of North American built forms. This study develops an understanding of theoretical and pragmatic concerns within design professions (architecture/landscape architecture) and social science professions (planning at large) that hamper the development of integrative urban design visions. It extends an interdisciplinary understanding of built environments and the forces that shape them and paves the way for more in-depth studies aimed at creating more integrative urban design theories and development strategies.     

中国入境旅游流网络省级旅游地角色研究

通过构建中国入境旅游流网络,运用社会网络理论中的结构对等性分析模型,对中国入境旅游流结构中各省级旅游地的功能地位进行分类、比较、定位,然后采用中心度分析指标,对各省级旅游地在旅游流互动关系中的功能角色进行量化分析,分析了形成此种功能模式的影响因素。结果表明:(1)中国31个省级旅游地共可以分为4种角色类型,即全国旅游中枢、区域旅游枢纽、一般性旅游地、边缘性旅游地;(2)尽管每个省级旅游地的各类细化功能有强有弱,但同一角色类型在中心度指标上存在相同的模式特征;(3)中国入境旅游流结构中省级旅游地功能角色的差异主要受制于区域经济发展水平、旅游服务设施、对外联系度等方面,旅游资源和内部交通便捷度的影响较小。通过整体视角把握中国入境旅游流结构特征,对省级旅游地角色进行定位,为引导各省市入境旅游的均衡协调发展提供一定的参考。     

Roles and functions of tourism destinations in tourism region of south anhui: A tourist flow network perspective

Theoretic and practical significance has been highlighted in the research of the roles and functions of destinations,as destinations are restricted by the spatial structure based on tourist flow network from the perspective of relationship.This article conducted an empirical analysis for Tourism Region of South Anhui(TRSA) and revealed the necessity and feasibility of studying the roles and functions of destinations from tourist flow network’s perspective.The automorphic equivalence analysis and centrality analysis were used to classify 16 destinations in TRSA into six role types:tourist flow distribution center,hub of tourist flows,passageway destination,common touring destination,attached touring destination,and nearly isolated destination.Some suggestions were given on suitable infrastructure construction and destinations service designs according to their functions in network.This destination role positioning was based on tourist flow network structure in integral and macroscopic way.It provided an important reference for the balanced and harmonious development of all the destinations of TRSA.In addition,this article verified the applicability of social network analysis on tourist flow research in local scale,and expanded this method to destination role and function positioning.
