A new index for measuring perpendicularity of animal movements in relation to patch boundaries

We introduce a new index for measuring perpendicularity of animal movements with respect to a boundary (e.g., a habitat patch edge), and provide a computer algorithm for its calculation. Our index, η, improves on an approach that measures perpendicularity with respect to a fixed boundary direction. This is because η accounts for moment-to-moment trajectories relative to nearest-neighbor boundary attributes at the scale of an animal's movement. Our algorithm prp calculates η efficiently and accurately with both synthetic data and large telemetry datasets. In addition, we have included routines in prp which account for scenarios inherently problematic to perpendicularity estimators.

青藏高原东缘的隆升及其水系的响应

本文基于ASTER GDEM数据,采用简单数学函数拟合龙门山地区15条河流的河流纵剖面形态,并结合基岩水力侵蚀模型来分析龙门山不同段落的地形形态特征。初步获得以下几点认识:(1)通过对龙门山地区河流纵剖面的分析,龙门山整体上具有较强的隆升速率,导致这一地区强烈的河流侵蚀作用;(2)龙门山中段和南段的河流双对数图以上凸型为主,说明该区域未达到均衡状态,处于前均衡期;(3)龙门山北段的河流双对数图呈直线形态,说明该区域达到均衡状态,处于均衡期;(4)龙门山中段和南段具有更强的构造活动性、更高的隆升速率,控制了该地区地貌、水系演化过程,并且导致这一地区容易发生地质灾害。     

Assessing diversity and inclusivity within the Transition movement: an urban case study

The Transition movement has experienced remarkable growth in its first decade, yet there remains considerable doubt about its ability to appeal to a diverse audience. To date, few studies have explicitly examined diversity of participation in the movement. Addressing this gap in the literature, a case study is presented of Transition Town Tooting (TTT). Results from a mixed methods approach comprising semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and a quantitative survey indicate that the demographic profiles of TTT participants do not represent the diversity of the Tooting population. This disparity is exacerbated by TTT’s ‘passive’ approach to inclusivity within the core group. Reflecting upon the implications for Transition’s goal of local resilience, it is suggested that, particularly within dense urban communities, initiatives may have more potential for engaging diverse voices through a local ‘brokering’ role between various subcommunities.

三江平原典型小叶章湿地土壤中硝态氮水平运移的模拟研究

选择三江平原小叶章湿地不同水分带上草甸沼泽土和腐殖质沼泽土2种土壤类型作为研究对象,以KNO3为示踪剂,模拟研究硝态氮在湿地土壤中的水平运移过程。结果表明,2种土壤各土层硝态氮水平运移浓度和速率均与运移距离呈极显著负相关（P〈0．01）,并随运移距离增加呈一阶指数衰减曲线变化,各土层硝态氮水平运移速率主要受浓度梯度、水势梯度及土壤基质势的控制;土壤各土层中硝态氮水平运移速率与土壤含水量呈显著正相关（P〈0．05）,并随土壤含水量增加呈指数增长曲线变化;土壤各土层中硝态氮水平运移浓度与土壤水分扩散率呈极显著正相关（P〈0．01）,0—20cm土层硝态氮水平运移浓度随水分扩散率升高呈Boltzmann曲线变化,其他土层则呈指数增长曲线变化;草甸沼泽土比腐殖质沼泽土相应土层更利于硝态氮的水平运移,这主要与土层颗粒组成和孔隙度等物理性质的显著差异有关,而湿地水文条件可能对2种土壤物理性质的塑造有着重要影响。     

河道污染质垂向迁移对地下水影响的研究

包气带是连接地表水和地下水的重要通道,对地下水资源有很好的"屏障"功能,而近年来工农业废水及生活污水的大量排放已影响到了地下水的"安全".为此,在渭河河漫滩进行了模拟河流的垂向入渗试验,并通过建立数学模型对水分和六价铬在具有弱透水层的多层介质中的迁移进行了模拟运算.试验和模拟结果一致表明,弱透水层虽对地下水有很好的保护作用,但在上部土壤层易形成面状污染带,而且由于大的浓度梯度作用,一旦污染质穿透该层将很快污染到地下水.

GENERATING STREAMFLOW SEQUENCES WITH TREND AND CYCLICAL MOVEMENTS1

ABSTRACT: A first-order autoregressive model had been modified with the trend and cyclical movements to generate the streamflow sequences. Three main portions were involved in this modified model, i.e., six-year cycle with trend changing; six-year cycle without trend changing; and both annual and six-year cycles with trend changing. The synthetic sequences of monthly streamflow sequences were compared with the historical records obtained from the Kissimmee River basin by using the Chi-Square test for goodness-of-fit. The results indicated that the newly proposed model has a better solution than the original model because the trend and cyclical movements involved in generating sequences are much closer to the historical records.     

长江三角洲之沉降

大量第四纪钻孔揭示了长江三角洲南北平原在基底构造和地层分布上存在着明显的差异。前第四纪的三角洲北部是一个巨大的沉积盆地。新第三系沉积地层可达一千多米 ,而此时南部却是由古生代和中生代火成岩、碳酸岩和沉积岩组成的台地 ,第三系沉积地层几乎缺失。然而 ,第四系地层厚度在长江三角洲南北两地的分布已经持平 ,且地层最厚处已转移到长江口崇明岛一带 ,全新统地层更有继承此演化特征。这表明了本区沉降中心从北部逐渐向南转移的趋势 ,反映了南部基底构造在第四纪以来有明显下沉的迹象 ,是长江主河道南迁的主要地质引力。由于大量全新世沉积堆积在崇明岛前缘的沉降中心 ,重力压实作用导致该中心前部出现“泥火山” ,周围地层变形明显。本研究提出在长江河口区进行大型桥遂工程建设时应充分考虑到上述由基底改造沉降和重力沉降产生的效应
