L型钢管混凝土芯柱耐火极限研究

火灾高温对结构安全有显著影响,为研究等肢L形钢管混凝土芯柱的耐火极限及其影响因素,利用ABAQUS软件建立合理的高温反应分析模型,在验证模型可靠性基础上,分析了荷载比、截面边长、长细比、荷载偏心率、含钢率等对L形钢管混凝土芯柱耐火极限的影响。研究结果表明:在一定参数范围内,荷载比和截面边长是构件耐火极限的主要影响参数,荷载比越小,截面边长越大,构件的耐火极限越高;长细比和荷载偏心率对其影响较大,长细比和荷载偏心率越小,构件的耐火极限越高;含钢率对其影响不显著。结果可为异形钢管混凝土芯柱的抗火安全设计提供参考。     

Environmental risk perception, environmental concern and propensity to participate in organic farming programmes

This paper aims to identify the factors underlying farmers' propensity to participate in organic farming programmes in a Romanian rural region that confronts non-point source pollution. For this, we employ structural equation modelling with latent variables using a specific data set collected through an agri-environmental farm survey in 2001. The model includes one 'behavioural intention' latent variable ('propensity to participate in organic farming programmes') and five 'attitude' and 'socio-economic' latent variables ('socio-demographic characteristics', 'economic characteristics', 'agri-environmental information access', 'environmental risk perception' and 'general environmental concern'). The results indicate that, overall, the model has an adequate fit to the data. All loadings are statistically significant, supporting the theoretical basis for assignment of indicators for each latent variable. The significance tests for the structural model parameters show 'environmental risk perception' as the strongest determinant of farmers' propensity to participate in organic farming programmes.     

Introduction: General versus specific measures and the special case of core self‐evaluations

This paper introduces a Journal of Organizational Behavior point/counterpoint exchange (this issue) that focuses on the appropriate level of aggregation primarily in the assessment of personality in general and core self‐evaluations (CSE) in particular. Gilad Chen reviews arguments for and against the higher‐order construct of CSE, offering a number of recommendations for strengthening it. Timothy Judge and John Kammeyer‐Mueller offer a defense of CSE, and then extend the discussion to the measurement of other constructs beyond the personality domain. Together these two papers provide important insights about the appropriate level of aggregation of individual measures, and situations in which higher‐order versus lower‐order measures might be preferred.

基于PMF模型的土壤重金属源解析中变量敏感性研究

为探究应用受体模型对土壤污染物进行源解析,输入变量对模型运行及其结果的影响,以乐安河中上游地区土壤重金属调查数据作为典型受体模型（PMF模型）的输入数据集,并在PMF模型基础方案运行结果的基础上,采用局部敏感性分析法来探讨输入变量变化对模型诊断及源识别结果的影响.结果表明：6因子数情景是研究区土壤重金属源解析PMF模型最佳运行结果;土壤中Cu、Mo、Na₂O、As、Mn和Cd等参数属于敏感变量,这些变量均为每个因子中的主要载荷元素,即每个源的特征污染物;不同变量的敏感性有较大差异,Cu、Mo的总敏感性最大,分别为12.1,8.2,大于其他输入变量的敏感性.因此,在应用PMF模型进行源解析时,特征污染物是敏感性较强的变量,其数据质量的优劣是影响源解析结果可靠性的重要因素.

Ecological Networks as Conceptual Frameworks or Operational Tools in Conservation

Abstract:  The establishment of ecological networks (ENs) has been proposed as an ideal way to counteract the increasing fragmentation of natural ecosystems and as a necessary complement to the establishment of protected areas for biodiversity conservation. This conservation tool, which comprises core areas, corridors, and buffer areas, has attracted the attention of several national and European institutions. It is thought that ENs can connect habitat patches and thus enable species to move across unsuitable areas. In Europe, however, ENs are proposed as an oversimplification of complex ecological concepts, and we maintain that they are of limited use for biodiversity conservation for several reasons. The ENs are species specific and operate on species-dependent scales. In addition, the information needed for their implementation is only available for a handful of species. To overcome these limitations, ENs have been proposed on a landscape scale (and for selected "focal" species), but there is no indication that the structural composition of core areas, corridors, and buffer areas could ensure the functional connectivity and improve the viability of more than a few species. The theory behind ENs fails to provide sufficient practical information on how to build them (e.g., width, shape, structure, content). In fact, no EN so far has been validated in practice (ensuring connectivity and increasing overall biodiversity conservation), and there are no signs that validation will be possible in the near future. In view of these limitations, it is difficult to justify spending economic and political resources on building systems that are at best working hypotheses that cannot be evaluated on a practical level.
