Gender differences in relation to wayfinding strategies, navigational support design, and wayfinding task difficulty

This study investigated user wayfinding navigational performance in terms of two navigational support designs (guide sign and you-are-here map, i.e., YAH), wayfinding strategies (egocentric/route and allocentric/survey), task difficulty (terrestrial/2D or weightless/3D), and gender differences. Eighty participants (40 males and 40 females) were recruited for the wayfinding experiment. The experimental results and statistical analysis indicated that, in the weightless VR scene, navigation time for the terrestrial/2D task type was significantly shorter than for the weightless/3D task type. The guide sign support was significantly more effective than YAH map support. Moreover, the interactions between support style and gender difference indicated that males exhibit better wayfinding performance than females, but that appropriate support can improve navigational performance and eliminate gender differences. In addition, the Way-Finding Strategy Scale result showed that the females were more likely to adopt the egocentric strategy while males were more likely to adopt the allocentric strategy, and that their scores were negatively correlated with navigational performance. Our results can be used to evaluate the interface designs of navigational support systems taking into consideration gender differences with respect to 3D VR games, including VR diving or flying navigational systems.     

路堤荷载下带桩帽刚性桩复合地基桩土应力比分析

路堤一般由填土、碎石等散体材料组成,刚性桩复合地基中,桩土刚度差异较大引起的桩土间沉降差异,会导致路堤内部出现相对竖向位移。通过路堤填土的受力平衡分析,根据桩土差异沉降,求解出桩帽和桩帽间土体的应力分配,并结合桩帽下应力分配得出桩身应力,最终求解出桩土应力比及桩的荷载分担比例。工程实例监测结果验证了文中计算公式的适用性和可靠性。通过分析计算结果和实测结果,得出了一些路堤荷载下刚性桩复合地基的承载规律,可供理论研究和工程设计参考。     

安徽四大区域对外开放度与经济增长的分析

对外开放度是测量一个地区经济发展国际化程度的一个重要标志。以SPSS12．0为分析工具,运用回归分析方法,对安徽省四大区域对外开放度差异进行了测定和分析。2000年以来,安徽省四大经济区域对外开放度有了明显提高,但基础设施、区位条件、产业结构等方面的差异导致四大区域之间、区域内部以及地市之间的对外开放度存在明显差异。回归分析显示,对外开放度与安徽区域经济增长有着显著的相关性。     

Integrating intraseasonal grassland dynamics in cross-scale distribution modeling to support waterbird recovery plans

Despite much discussion about the utility of remote sensing for effective conservation, the inclusion of these technologies in species recovery plans remains largely anecdotal. We developed a modeling approach for the integration of local, spatially measured ecosystem functional dynamics into a species distribution modeling (SDM) framework in which other ecologically relevant factors are modeled separately at broad scales. To illustrate the approach, we incorporated intraseasonal water-vegetation dynamics into a cross-scale SDM for the Common Snipe (Gallinago gallinago), which is highly dependent on water and vegetation dynamics. The Common Snipe is an Iberian grassland waterbird characteristic of European agricultural meadows and a member of one of the most threatened bird guilds. The intraseasonal dynamics of water content of vegetation were measured using the standard deviation of the normalized difference water index time series computed from bimonthly images of the Sentinel-2 satellite. The recovery plan for the Common Snipe in Galicia (northwestern Iberian Peninsula) provided an opportunity to apply our modeling framework. Model accuracy in predicting the species’ distribution at a regional scale (resulting from integration of downscaled climate projections with regional habitat–topographic suitability models) was very high (area under the curve [AUC] of 0.981 and Boyce's index of 0.971). Local water-vegetation dynamic models, based exclusively on Sentinel-2 imagery, were good predictors (AUC of 0.849 and Boyce's index of 0.976). The predictive power improved (AUC of 0.92 and Boyce's index of 0.98) when local model predictions were restricted to areas identified by the continental and regional models as priorities for conservation. Our models also performed well (AUC of 0.90 and Boyce's index of 0.93) when projected to updated water-vegetation conditions. Our modeling framework enabled incorporation of key ecosystem processes closely related to water and carbon cycles while accounting for other factors ecologically relevant to endangered grassland waterbirds across different scales, allowed identification of priority areas for conservation, and provided an opportunity for cost-effective recovery planning by monitoring management effectiveness from space.     

多因素影响下巷道变形特性数值模拟研究

基于FLAC3D有限差分软件对开挖深度、侧压力系数、断面形状等多因素影响下的巷道变形参数进行正交试验，根据正交试验分析结果，分别选取同一深度条件下的圆形、马蹄形、直墙拱形、矩形巷道进行模拟试验并以圆形巷道作为典型断面，对不同深度下的巷道变形特征进行模拟试验。研究结果表明:开挖深度对巷道开挖后的应力差变化影响明显，断面形状对巷道围岩内的塑性区深度和具有显著影响；巷道开挖后的塑性区深度和随形状指数增加而呈线性增长趋势，圆形巷道的塑性区深度和最小，矩形最大；应力差随着巷道开挖深度的增加呈线性增加，深部开采应重视巷道内的应力分布情况。     

不同基因型水稻吸镉差异及其与根表铁氧化物胶膜的关系

采用琼脂培养方法，模拟铁在不同基因型水稻根表的氧化与淀积，研究了不央水稻吸镉的差异及其有表铁氧化物胶膜的关系，结果表明不同水稻基因型其根表淀积换的氧化物数量存在显著性差异，根表富集的镉量及根部，地上部合镉量均存在显著性差差，且镉在不同水稻植株体内转移运输能力不同；不同水稻基因型根膜中的含铁量与根表铁氧化物富集的镉量、根部的含镉量、地上部的含量存在显著性年线相关。     

酸胁迫对不同基因型玉米生长和钙镁养分吸收的影响

采用盆栽试验系统研究了不同耐酸特性的4个玉米自交系苗期、拔节期和散粉期的生长状况和钙、镁营养特性.结果表明,铝毒对玉米生长发育的影响贯穿于全生育期,但是影响强度随时间推移而减轻.在苗期,铝毒严重影响玉米对钙、镁营养的吸收,且对钙吸收的影响大于镁,不同基因型间存在明显差异.与酸敏感自交系相比,耐酸自交系苗期可保持较高的钙、镁浓度,地上部钙、镁耐酸指数显著高于酸敏感自交系.苗期之后,玉米钙、镁营养受酸胁迫的影响相对较小,除散粉期耐酸自交系功能叶中钙镁比表现较稳定外,其它钙镁营养特性没有表现出明显规律.     

玉米自交系氮效率基因型差异的比较研究

采用溶液培养的方法。选用经田间，土壤试验对N反应有典型差异的玉米自交系478，H21，Wu312,Zong31,Baici，在4个供氮水平下（0.04,0.4,2和4nmol/L)，研究了不同基因型玉米苗期氮素吸收，利用的差异及其原因，结果表明：极低N胁迫条件下（０.04mmol/L),总干重的基因型差异是由根系，地上部的共同作用的结果，高N下，总干重是由地上部的差异所决定的（表1），极低供N条件下，4578的总干重最大，且有较高的氮效率，Wu312,Zong31相对较低，478相对较高的氮效率主要来源于吸收效率的差异。该基因型在低N下总吸氮量最高，H21居中，Baici,Zong31相对较低，478相对较高的氮效率主要来源于吸收效率的差异。该基因型在低N下总吸氮量最高，H21居中，Baici,Zong31,Wu312相对较低（图1），吸收效率的差异主要是由于根系全N量的不同所致（图3），而根系全N量的差异主要是由于根系大小不同（表1），在极低氮水平下，不同基因型玉米根系全氮量的变幅比地上部高出28.1%，高N下（4mmol/L)，全N量的变幅比地上部高出15.4%(图2，图3），在0.04mmol/L下，478与Wu312,Zong31的利用效率不存在显著差异（表2）。     

低磷胁迫下木豆利用磷的基因型差异及其机制

以木豆[Cajanus Cajan(L.)Millsp]MD2、MD5、MD7为材料,采用水培试验方法研究了木豆对磷的吸收、利用的基因型差异及其机理。结果表明:低磷(P1 μmol·L-1)胁迫下,木豆对磷素的吸收和利用效率存在明显的基因型差异,其中MD2、MD7属于磷素吸收、利用效率较强的基因型,而MD5为磷素效率较低的基因型。低磷培养16d后,磷高效的基因型的根/冠比显著增加,根分泌的酸性磷酸酶(APA)活性较高,说明木豆对磷素的吸收效率与植株的根冠比及根分泌的酸性磷酸酶活性有关。在低磷胁迫下,虽然MD7、MD2的含磷量较低,但是磷素利用效率和根尖中APA活性较高,说明根中高APA活性是磷利用效率高的重要原因之一。
