Comparing Measures of Accessibility to Urban Supermarkets for Transit and Auto Users     

Michael J. Widener 《The Professional geographer》2017,69(3):362-371

Research on access to healthy foods often emphasizes the spatial proximity of residents to food stores like supermarkets as a way to gauge overall accessibility. Much of the literature has focused on locating the closest facility, assuming that access to one food store is sufficient. Given evidence that access to multiple healthy food stores can improve diets, however, this article examines how closest facility measures differ from cumulative opportunity accessibility measures across space in a medium-sized U.S. city. Differences in access between automobile and transit riders, using realistic travel time costs, are also considered. Results demonstrate that the two types of accessibility measures produce different accessibility geographies and that there are disparities in access for those dependent on transit. These findings indicate that researchers should carefully consider whether access to one supermarket opportunity is enough and pay special attention to the mode residents rely on to access food.  相似文献   

Effect of Silica Fume on Compressive Strength of Oil-Polluted Concrete in Different Marine Environments     

Hamid SHAHRABADI  Sina SAYAREH  Hamed SARKARDEH 《海洋工程》2017,(6):716-723

In the present research, effect of silica fume as an additive and oil polluted sands as aggregates on compressive strength of concrete were investigated experimentally. The amount of oil in the designed mixtures was assumed to be constant and equal to 2% of the sand weight. Silica fume accounting for 10%, 15% and 20% of the weight is added to the designed mixture. After preparation and curing, concrete specimens were placed into the three different conditions: fresh, brackish and saltwater environments (submerged in fresh water, alternation of exposed in air & submerged in sea water and submerged in sea water). The result of compressive strength tests shows that the compressive strength of the specimens consisting of silica fume increases significantly in comparison with the control specimens in all three environments. The compressive strength of the concrete with 15% silica fume content was about 30% to 50% higher than that of control specimens in all tested environments under the condition of using polluted aggregates in the designed mixture.  相似文献   

牛角塘伴生型镉矿床特殊的成矿环境     

谷团 《吉林大学学报(地球科学版)》2017,47(2)

牛角塘伴生型镉矿床镉的富集程度高,比克拉克值高4~5个数量级,比工业品位高十几倍至上百倍。早寒武世清虚洞期牛角塘地区处于台缘滩丘环境,在清虚洞组中上部形成了藻丘建造,发育了含藻类、藻球粒、藻鲕粒、核形石和生物碎屑的白云岩,是该矿床最主要的容矿岩性单元。矿体普遍呈似层状、透镜状和脉状产出,矿体产状与容矿围岩的产状基本一致,矿体的分布受清虚洞组藻丘建造以及有利岩性组合的联合控制,具明显的层控、相控、岩控的特点。藻丘建造还可能提供了部分矿源。镉的超常富集、成矿与麻江古油藏的成藏演化具有一定的关系:一是牛角塘矿床成矿年龄为433~510 Ma,即加里东运动的中晚期,而加里东运动中晚期是麻江古油藏的油气活动时期,麻江古油藏的早期演化阶段与牛角塘镉矿的成矿期大体是重合的,成藏应略早于成矿,成矿是在古油藏液态烃仍然存在的情况下进行的,且成矿期有可能一直延伸至油藏被破坏以后;二是油藏流体为成矿提供具还原性质的成矿流体和部分硫源。特殊的岩相古地理环境和古油藏为牛角塘矿床镉的富集和成矿提供了有利条件。  相似文献   

虚拟地理环境知识工程初探     

林珲  游兰 《地球信息科学学报》2015,17(12):1423-1430

地理知识在虚拟地理环境（Virtual Geographic Environments,VGE）的科研与应用中发挥着极为重要的作用。现有地理知识工程研究整体处于初步探索阶段,且尚未在虚拟地理环境中展开。作为新一代GIS研究的科学方法和技术,虚拟地理环境具有典型的多领域、多协同、多交互、多模型及多感知的特点,但还亟需系统深入地了解VGE地理知识工程的特点、机理及关键技术。本文首先综述了国内外现有知识工程及地理知识工程研究现状,进而提出了VGE地理知识及VGE知识工程的概念和定义。在此基础上,本文分析了VGE地理知识有别于通用知识的特点,并提出了VGE地理知识的分类。最后,针对VGE地理知识工程的构建阐述了需解决的关键问题。本文基于VGE知识工程的初步探索,尝试为智能虚拟地理环境系统的构建提供理论基础,以促进虚拟地理环境中地理知识的快速转换和融合,为解决地理科学“数据丰富但知识贫乏”的问题提供一个可行的研究方向。  相似文献

基于2011年8月―2012年6月的实地监测数据,文章报道了川东北楼房洞溶洞系统气温、相对湿度（RH）、CO2体积分数、水体电导率（EC）和pH值等为期近1年的监测结果,并对其影响因素进行了分析。结果显示楼房洞洞穴系统环境存在明显的空间变化和季节变化：1）洞穴内的气温变化幅度比洞穴外小,洞穴内夏季气温比冬季高出3~5℃;2）在洞穴内,相对湿度在地下河附近小于在水池附近,显示了地下河对洞穴环境的显著影响;3）洞内监测点SLPB和QCMY处的相对湿度与空气温度出现明显相反的变化趋势,反映主要受气温控制的特点;4）雨季期间SLPB、QCMY和LZLY处的CO2体积分数出现峰值,是较强的生物呼吸作用、“泵”效应和较弱的通风效应等因素综合影响的结果;5）pH值的变化趋势在洞穴内外各监测点一致,原因可能是夏秋季节基岩溶蚀较强所致。6）洞内各监测点的EC值也是夏秋季节高于冬春季节,反映了气候变化导致的化学溶蚀作用可能是影响离子含量的主要因素。  相似文献

Sexual reproduction in Sarcotragus spinosulus from two different shallow environments     

Mercurio Maria  Corriero Giuseppe  Gherardi Miriam  Baldacconi Rossella  Elda Gaino 《Marine Ecology》2013,34(4):394-408

The reproductive cycle of the demosponge Sarcotragus spinosulus from two different shallow environments (La Pierta and La Strea) of the Ionian coasts of Apulia (SE Italy) was studied from February 2006 to February 2007 in 20 tagged specimens. The sponge is viviparous. All the monitored specimens showed sexual reproduction, even if the process usually involved small portions of the sponge tissue. Most of the specimens showed hermaphroditism, with contemporaneous production of oocytes and spermatic cysts in the same reproductive season. Young oocytes occurred from June to September in specimens from La Pierta and from June to October in those from La Strea. Large mature eggs, measuring up to 200 μm, showed a peak in August to September, concomitant with the appearance of spermatic cysts, whose density values were about 100 times higher than those estimated for female elements. At La Pierta, embryos were present for 11 months, whereas at La Strea they were very scarce during the first 4 months of observation, with the results that there was a significant difference in the production of embryos between the two groups of sponges. Embryo development occurred in patches inside the choanosomal region. Cleavage started in September and led in June to a solid stereoblastula, which, only at La Pierta, produced parenchymella larva (371.3 + 31.3 μm on average) from June to July. In the specimens from La Strea, larvae were never observed. The slight differences in the reproductive cycle between the two groups of sponges may be explained in the light of the major variability of the environmental parameters which could have affected the specimens from La Strea negatively.  相似文献   

Nonlinear seismic behaviour of wall-frame dual systems accounting for soil–structure interaction     

Sandro Carbonari  Francesca Dezi  Graziano Leoni 《地震工程与结构动力学》2012,41(12):1651-1672

The aim of this paper is to study the effects of soil–structure interaction on the seismic response of coupled wall-frame structures on pile foundations designed according to modern seismic provisions. The analysis methodology based on the substructure method is recalled focusing on the modelling of pile group foundations. The nonlinear inertial interaction analysis is performed in the time domain by using a finite element model of the superstructure. Suitable lumped parameter models are implemented to reproduce the frequency-dependent compliance of the soil-foundation systems. The effects of soil–structure interaction are evaluated by considering a realistic case study consisting of a 6-storey 4-bay wall-frame structure founded on piles. Different two-layered soil deposits are investigated by varying the layer thicknesses and properties. Artificial earthquakes are employed to simulate the earthquake input. Comparisons of the results obtained considering compliant base and fixed base models are presented by addressing the effects of soil–structure interaction on displacements, base shears, and ductility demand. The evolution of dissipative mechanisms and the relevant redistribution of shear between the wall and the frame are investigated by considering earthquakes with increasing intensity. Effects on the foundations are also shown by pointing out the importance of both kinematic and inertial interaction. Finally, the response of the structure to some real near-fault records is studied.

ENDOLITHIC LICHENS,RAPID BIOLOGICAL WEATHERING AND SCHMIDT HAMMER R‐VALUES ON RECENTLY EXPOSED ROCK SURFACES: STORBREEN GLACIER FORELAND,JOTUNHEIMEN, NORWAY     

JOHN A. MATTHEWS  GERAINT OWEN 《Geografiska Annaler: Series A, Physical Geography》2008,90(4):287-297

The endolithic lichen Lecidea auriculata is known to enhance rock surface weathering on the Little Ice Age moraines of the glacier Storbreen in Jotunheimen, central southern Norway. This study demonstrates the reduction in Schmidt hammer Rvalues that followed the rapid colonization by this lichen of pyroxene‐granulite boulders on terrain deglaciated over the last 88 years. In the absence of this lichen, the characteristic mean R‐value of boulder surfaces is 61.0 ± 0.3; where this lichen is present, R‐values are lower by at least 20 units on surfaces exposed for 30–40 years. A similar reduction in rock hardness on rock surfaces without a lichen cover requires about 10 ka. The rapid initial weakening of the rock surfaces is indicative of rates of biological weathering by endolithic lichens that may be two orders of magnitude (200–300 times) faster than rates of physico‐chemical weathering alone. If not avoided, the effects of this type of lichen are likely to negate the effectiveness of the Schmidt hammer and other methods for exposure‐age dating, including cosmogenic‐nuclide dating, in severe alpine and polar periglacial environments. The results also suggest a new method for dating rock surfaces exposed for <50 years.  相似文献
