Hierarchical Bayes estimation of hunting success rates

Although most post-season harvest surveys are conducted at the state level, the effective management of wildlife populations often requires estimates of hunting success rate, hunting pressure and harvest at the sub-area (such as management unit, regional, or county) level.Sample sizes for some sub-areas are often very small or even zero. Because of small sample sizes, estimates for small sub-areas often yield unacceptably large standard errors. In this article, a hierarchical Bayes model is used to estimate hunting success rates at the sub-area level from post-season harvest surveys. The computation is done by Gibbs sampling and adaptive rejection sampling techniques. The method is illustrated using data from the Missouri Turkey Hunting Survey 1994 Spring Season. The Bayesian estimates are close to the frequency estimates for the sub-areas with large sample sizes and more stable than the frequency estimates for those with small sample sizes. The Bayesian estimates will be more useful to wildlife biologists in estab-lishing hunting regulation on small sub-areas at no additional survey cost.

Perceptions of climate change on the Island of Providencia

Climate change-related impacts have the capacity to substantially influence Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean. Currently, many SIDS are engaged in large-scale vulnerability assessments that aim to identify, analyse, and inform solutions to mitigate climate change-related impacts. Many of these assessments, while useful, place little emphasis on the local stakeholders' perceptions of climate change. One such Caribbean community impacted by climate-related change is Providence Island in Colombia. Using a vulnerability assessment framework (Marshall, P.A. et al. 2010. A framework for social adaptation to climate change: sustaining tropical coastal communities and industries. Gland: IUCN Publication Services), researchers interviewed island residents (N = 23) about their perceptions of climate change, impacts on the local environment, and how the island community may adapt. All interviews were transcribed and analysed using a priori and open coding to identify patterns of and relationships between stakeholders' responses. Results indicate that local perceptions of climate change are linked to (1) environmental knowledge, (2) environmental awareness, attitudes, and beliefs, and (3) perceptions of risk. Implications for local adaptive strategies, education, communication, and suggestions for engagement at the local level are discussed.

长江上游中小洪水天气学机理分析及致洪特征

基于1981~2012年长江上游128个中小洪水历史个例及NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,采用普查及天气学分型方法,建立了纬向型、经向型、偏东气流型以及两高之间型4种致洪降水天气学概念模型,研究了各天气型致洪降水发生机理及相应中小洪水特征。得到以下结论:纬向型中高纬环流相对平直多波动,伴有明显冷平流南下,地面锋面位置略偏北。该类型强降水过程多,强度大,持续时间长,对应中小洪水多为双峰或多峰型,平均洪峰流量、过程增幅最强,洪水过程时间也最长。经向型环流中高纬贝加尔湖和东北地区为深厚低槽,中低层常伴有暖式切变线或低涡发展,中上层急流出口处的辐散以及冷平流四类型中最强。该类型雨带多呈东北-西南走向,中小洪水一般以单峰为主,其洪峰流量及过程增幅均较大,造成的洪水涨水较快,过程时间最短。纬向和经向型均为全流域降水型,但在金沙江北部、岷沱江、嘉陵江以及宜宾-宜昌常出现较高频次的60 mm以上较强面雨量。偏东气流型副高与热带气旋外围环流汇合北进,其强降水前后冷暖平流变化不明显,受地形强迫抬升影响,最易产生准静止型、团状、突发性强降水。该类型中小洪水以单峰为主,涨水快,洪峰流量及过程增幅均最小,强降水主要分布在嘉陵江和岷沱江两大流域。两高之间型多为"鞍"型场的环流配置,青藏高压与副高在流域上空形成南北向切变线,其动力和水汽条件均较弱。该类型降水强度较弱,稳定少动,累积降水量较大,洪水以单峰为主,双峰偶有发生,其洪峰流量、过程增幅均较大,洪水过程时间较长,强降水多位于岷沱江、嘉陵江和宜宾-重庆中部流域。

The impact of disasters on small business disaster planning: a case study

A major flood in 1997 forced the evacuation of Grand Forks, North Dakota and caused damage of USD 1 billion. Despite this recent disaster there is only marginal evidence of an increase in disaster recovery planning by businesses that experienced the flood. This finding is consistent with the results of other business-related disaster research. Statistical tests of survey results from 2003 indicate that there is a significantly higher rate of disaster recovery planning in businesses started since the 1997 flood than in businesses started before the flood and still in business. Such an outcome indicates a need for public policy actions emphasizing the importance of disaster planning. Improved disaster planning is an aid to business recovery and the results demonstrate the need for more widespread efforts to improve disaster recovery planning on the part of smaller businesses, even in areas that have recently experienced disasters.     

湖南小城镇发展研究

自改革开放以来,小城镇发展对湖南城市化的贡献逐步加大。１９９８年,湖南建制镇冲数已达１００１个,建制镇非农业 省非农业人口比重已上升到４５．０４％,但湖南小城镇有存在家庭不清、规划滞后、规模小、设施水平低、缺乏特色、体制落后突出问题。应确立小城镇发展在全省农村剩余劳动力转移中的优先地位,进一步提高小城镇湖南城市化的贡献;应尽快开展全省小城镇普查,制定科学的小城镇发展与建设规划,应因地制宜地选择１１
