Refuge‐Effect Hypothesis and the Demise of the Dodo

The Dodo was last sighted on the inshore island of Ile d'Ambre in 1662, nearly 25 years after the previous sighting on the mainland of Mauritius. It has been suggested that its survival on the inshore island is representative of the refuge effect. Understanding what constitutes significant persistence is fundamental to conservation. I tested the refuge‐effect hypothesis for the persistence of the Dodo (Raphus cucullatus) on an inshore island beyond that of the mainland population. For a location to be considered a refuge, most current definitions suggest that both spatial and temporal isolation from the cause of disturbance are required. These results suggest the island was not a refuge for the Dodo because the sighting in 1662 was not temporally isolated from that of the mainland sightings. Furthermore, with only approximately 350 m separating Ile d'Ambre from the mainland of Mauritius, it is unlikely this population of Dodos was spatially isolated.

基于空间数据的太子河河流生境分类

在文献调研的基础上,结合河流特征和专家经验确定分类使用的指标,利用DEM、河流水系等空间数据,在ArcGIS软件下提取子流域,并计算子流域内河流系统的坡降、蜿蜒度、河网密度和河流等级4个分类指标值,应用聚类分析方法对太子河河流生境进行分类,将太子河河流生境分为源头陡峭河流生境、源头弯曲河流生境、源头河流生境、支流中下游河流生境、平原支流密集河网生境、支流弯曲河流生境、干流下游生境和干流蜿蜒河流生境等8种类型,各类型河流长度在223.8~773.1km之间,其中支流弯曲河流生境最长,而干流下游生境最短. 根据各生境类型的特征,提出了我国东北地区河流生境分类的指标参考值;根据不同生境类型的河道侵蚀、水量以及多样性潜力等特征,提出了不同河流生境类型的环境管理对策.      

基于模糊集和改进TOPSIS方法的跑道侵入风险评估

为预防民航机场跑道侵入事件的发生,减轻塔台管制员面临的跑道运行安全的压力,根据国际民航组织(ICAO)颁布的《防止跑道侵入手册》描述的空中交通管制(ATC)因素,建立影响跑道侵入的ATC指标评价体系。首先运用模糊集理论建立评价模型,并计算子指标的模糊可能性值,其值反映所论子指标风险概率。其次,采用改进的TOPSIS方法进行验证,并计算子指标的信度效度值。结果表明,得出的子指标风险值与模糊可能性值的排序一致。最后,根据子指标风险值的大小提出防止跑道侵入事件发生的建议。     

水电站大坝群安全应急管理协同度测度研究

针对当前水电站大坝群安全应急管理缺乏主动协同而导致资源浪费的情形,提出基于网络层次分析法(ANP)和序参量法的安全应急管理协同度的测度。首先根据文献分析归纳水电站大坝群安全应急管理过程的协同关系,构建包括5个子系统和11个序参量以及33个二级指标的水电站大坝群安全应急管理协同度测度指标体系。其次借助超级决策软件确定各个指标的权重,最后采用序参量法对安全应急管理的预防、准备、响应和恢复4个环节进行协同度测度。将此方法用于国内某流域的梯级水电站大坝群。测度结果表明:该梯级水电站大坝群安全应急管理的响应和准备两个环节各子系统的协同度最高,系统总体的协同度较低,应采取优化措施以提高系统的协同程度。     

A MIXING MODEL FOR A SEPARATED MECHANICAL AERATION SYSTEM1

ABSTRACT: An input-output method, using a network of ideal continuous stirred-tank and plug-flow tublar reactors, is adopted to analyze residence time distribution data for a separated mechanical aeration system. The usefulness of this modeling concept is enhanced by its simplicity, especially in the presence of a first-order reaction. This facilitates use of the model format for wastewater quality prediction. Moreover, first-order rate constants can also be estimated from the model, if conversions due to the reaction rate are available.     

BENTHIC INVERTEBRATES IN A NORTH-FLOWING STREAM AND A SOUTH-FLOWING STREAM,BROOKS RANGE,ALASKA1

ABSTRACT: Benthic invertebrate faunas were compared to two fifth-order streams, the Atigun River flowing northward and the Dietrich River flowing southward. Sixty-eight taxa were collected, forty-nine from each stream. Aquatic insects comprised 88% of the taxa and 97% of the individuals from the Dietrich River and 73% of the taxa and 97% of the individuals from the Atigun River. Diptera, especially Chironomidae, were most abundant. Plecoptera, Ephemeroptera, Oligochaeta, Acarina, and Collembola were significant. In both streams the headwaters were dominated by the subfamily Diamesinae which was replaced by Orthocladiinae downstream. Diversity seemed to increase with stream order. Cluster analysis showed a high degree of resemblance between the benthic faunas of the rivers. Faunal resemblance decreased with increasing distance between stations, both within and between the streams. Although some taxa may occur in only one stream, the evidence for faunal resemblance is stronger than for faunal differences. Other studies have shown that differences in total radiation associated with valley aspect affect local climate, hydrology, and distribution of terrestrial plants and animals. However, the benthic faunas of Atigun and Dietrich Rivers were remarkably similar. Factors which operate independently of aspect, possibly freezing solid in winter, may control the occurrence of species in these streams.     

ANALYSIS OF UNCERTAINTY IN FLOOD PLAIN MAPPING1

ABSTRACT: Components contributing to uncertainty in the location of the flood plain fringe of a mapped flood plain are identified and examined to determine their relative importance. First-order uncertainty analysis is used to provide a procedure for quantifying the magnitude of uncertainty in the location of the flood plain fringe. Application of the procedure indicated that one standard deviation of uncertainty in flood plain inundation width was about one third of the mean computed inundation width for several flood population-flood geometry combinations. Suggested mapping criteria, which directly incorporate uncertainty estimates, are given. While these criteria are more suitable for use in developing areas than in flood plains that have had extensive development, the analysis procedure can be used to accommodate property owners who challenge the validity of estimated flood fringe boundaries. Use of uncertainty analysis in flood plain mapping should enhance the credibility of the final plan.     

Advanced technology industry in Oxfordshire

The growth of advanced technology industry in Oxfordshire has mainly been generated from within the county. The increasing number of firms has attracted the interest of numerous property developers wishing to build science parks and business parks in and around Oxford. This is where growth has been highest, but where there are policies of restraint and to protect the green belt.
