非线性灰色模型在污染物总量预测中的应用

在前人工作的基础之上介绍了几种修正的ＧＭ（１，１）非线性模型，并以衡阳市１９９０～１９９６年城区污染物总量（ＣＯＤ）的预测为例，探讨了各种模型的应用效果。结果表明：非线性模型的拟合精度更高，具有更加广阔的发展前景。     

矿山开采非线性沉陷学说初论

Tipping Elements in the Arctic Marine Ecosystem

The Arctic marine ecosystem contains multiple elements that present alternative states. The most obvious of which is an Arctic Ocean largely covered by an ice sheet in summer versus one largely devoid of such cover. Ecosystems under pressure typically shift between such alternative states in an abrupt, rather than smooth manner, with the level of forcing required for shifting this status termed threshold or tipping point. Loss of Arctic ice due to anthropogenic climate change is accelerating, with the extent of Arctic sea ice displaying increased variance at present, a leading indicator of the proximity of a possible tipping point. Reduced ice extent is expected, in turn, to trigger a number of additional tipping elements, physical, chemical, and biological, in motion, with potentially large impacts on the Arctic marine ecosystem.
