牧民对高寒牧区生态环境的感知——以甘南牧区为例

地处青藏高原的甘南牧区是典型的生态敏感区,牧民作为牧区最主要的经济活动主体与最基本的决策单位,其对生态环境的认识和响应影响着牧区的生态安全.采用参与性农户评估方法(PRA)对甘南牧区的97户牧民家庭进行了调查,并根据分布区域将其分成纯牧区牧户和半农半牧区牧户两组,就牧民的环境意识、对环境变化的感知、对环境变化原因的认识进行比较分析,基于分析结果,提出了相关的政策建议.研究结果表明:研究区牧民对生态环境重要性的认识非常明确,但在生产中却较少真正考虑对生态环境的影响;与20a前相比,85%的牧户认为生态环境有所恶化,纯牧区牧户的感受更为深刻;对于生态环境恶化的原因,超过40%的牧户认为是超载过牧,其次是破坏植被(22.68%)和气候变化(18.56%).两组牧户对于生态环境恶化原因的认识具有一定差别,纯牧区牧户认为主要原因是过度放牧及气候变化,半农半牧区牧户认为是过度放牧与破坏植被、滥垦土地.

Prediction of protein local structures and folding fragments based on building-block library

In recent years, protein structure prediction using local structure information has made great progress. In this study, a novel and effective method is developed to predict the local structure and the folding fragments of proteins. First, the proteins with known structures are split into fragments. Second, these fragments, represented by dihedrals, are clustered to produce the building blocks (BBs). Third, an efficient machine learning method is used to predict the local structures of proteins from sequence profiles. Finally, a bi-gram model, trained by an iterated algorithm, is introduced to simulate the interactions of these BBs. For test proteins, the building-block lattice is constructed, which contains all the folding fragments of the proteins. The local structures and the optimal fragments are then obtained by the dynamic programming algorithm. The experiment is performed on a subset of the PDB database with sequence identity less than 25%. The results show that the performance of the method is better than the method that uses only sequence information. When multiple paths are returned, the average classification accuracy of local structures is 72.27% and the average prediction accuracy of local structures is 67.72%, which is a significant improvement in comparison with previous studies. The method can predict not only the local structures but also the folding fragments of proteins. This work is helpful for the ab initio protein structure prediction and especially, the understanding of the folding process of proteins.

Today's Customary International Law of the Sea

International courts and tribunals, governments, and scholars over the past half-century (many in the past two decades) have identified various provisions of the 1958 and 1982 treaties on the law of the sea that are customary international law and thus binding on all states, including those not party to these treaties. This article systematically collects these opinions and identifies provisions that have not yet attracted their attention.     

A primer of community ecology using the R language

Community ecology beginners often struggle to understand theories expressed in complex mathematical formulas and to master computer programming. To remedy this situation, this article provides a practical, R-based introduction to community ecology by illustrating core concepts (vital rates, carrying capacity, and density dependence) and models that can be used to explore the patterns of species abundance and diversity. The structure of this article consists of three modeling exercises, each asking a general question that can be answered by a combination of theory and R programming: (1) what determines the abundance of species, and what makes a population persist and go extinct?; (2) what determines the distribution of species and species diversity?; (3) what determines the relative abundance of species and what allows species to coexist? Through the exercises, I discuss the following five concepts and ideas that provide valuable insights into the questions: (i) the tragedy of the commons, (ii) the theory of island biogeography, (iii) competitive exclusion, (iv) the neutral theory of biodiversity, and (v) frequency dependence. These materials are thus designed to guide the reader in developing an intuition for ecological thinking that will help capture the essence of the global environmental and biodiversity crisis. Although this article does not delineate the scope and depth of the vast field of community ecology, I hope that it will motivate the reader to step up to a more formal introduction to community ecology.     

宏基因组学在胃肠道微生物研究中的应用

动物胃肠道中普遍存在大量共生微生物群,对于它们的研究一直受制于纯培养技术。随着分子生物学的快速发展及其在微生物学及生态学上的应用,针对未培养微生物研究的一门新型学科——宏基因组技术应运而生并迅速发展。通过提取胃肠道粘膜表面以及内容物中微生物DNA,构建总DNA文库的方法,利用基因组学的研究策略,来研究胃肠道中微生物遗传组成及群落功能。宏基因组技术在胃肠道微生物研究中广泛的应用,对于医学、生态学、生物能源利用等领域的研究具有重大的价值。

Then and Now: Reappraising Freedom of the Seas in Modern Law of the Sea

The principle of freedom of the seas remains the governing paradigm of the high seas in modern law of the sea. Although the principle, as embraced by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC), is no longer an absolute norm, it continues to present fundamental challenges for achieving effective conservation on the high seas as it stands in direct contrast to the conservation duty imposed on states by LOSC. The recent UN General Assembly resolution calling for the adoption of a further Implementing Agreement under LOSC to address conservation on the high seas, highlights the need to build a new ethos for management of the high seas, which will require states to loosen their firm grip on the Grotian doctrine. This article seeks to contribute toward shifting attitudes in relation to the principle of freedom through an examination of the nature and scope of the principle in its historic context and in contemporary law of the sea.     

Jurisdiction Over Underwater Cultural Heritage in the EEZ and on the Continental Shelf: A Perspective From the Practice of States Bordering the South China Sea

Abstract

The Chinese initiative of constructing the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road could be identified as a new chance to promote the protection of underwater cultural heritage (UCH) in the South China Sea. However, uncertainties concerning the jurisdictional issue over the UCH in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) or on the continental shelf constitute an obstacle. The Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage has, to some extent, enlarged the coastal state’s jurisdiction. State practice differs on this issue. This article focuses on the domestic legislations of states bordering the South China Sea related to the jurisdiction over UCH found in their EEZ or on their continental shelf.     

生态径流评价中的Tennant法应用

Tennant法在生态径流研究中起着重要作用.但是,对于保护河流生命健康与维持生物多样性来说,Tennant法存在着某些不合理之处;在具体应用中又有年均值比和同期均值比之别.鉴于Tennant法在我国应用较为广泛,文中对该方法的合理性及应用中的不同理解进行了探讨和评价.认为:Tennant法在生态径流评价中存在一定局限性;Tennant法的同期均值比相对年均值比合理.

多异瓢虫的发育与温度的关系

测定多异瓢虫Hippodamia variegata(Goeze)在13,17,21,25,29和33℃下各虫态的发育历期。结果表明,在不同温度梯度下,多异瓢虫全世代历期依次为:(62.23±3.42)d,(48.31±2.96)d,(25.01±2.53)d,(20.78±1.83)d,(13.68±0.67)d和(10.92±0.58)d。利用最小二乘法确定出多异瓢虫各虫态的发育起点温度和有效积温,其全世代的分别为10.85℃和249.79日.度;由微分法求出Logistic曲线方程中的最大发育速率K,进而由最小二乘法求出a、r,从而确定出多异瓢虫各虫态的发育速率与温度的Logistic曲线关系,其全世代的为:V=0.101156/[1+exp(3.905041-0.183509T)];由Lagrangc中值定理求出各虫态的发育最适温度、适宜温区,其全世代的分别为:Tmid(最适温度)=21.28℃、Tmin(适宜温区下限)=11.55℃、Tmax(适宜温区上限)=31.01℃。     

活体家兔肺脏强度的实验观察

本研究是用向家兔肺内充气的方法观察30只活体家兔呼吸器官的压—容特性及肺损伤的程度。实验中用压力传感器测量气管内压力,用全身体积描记法测量肺—胸容积。实验结果表明,家兔呼吸器官的充放气曲线有三种类型,这与肺损伤的程度有关。充气压—容曲线呈S形,肺破裂时形成钝峰。充气压为750～800mmH_2O时,多数肺有重度肺气肿及广泛性出血,甚至肺破裂使家兔死亡,故确定此值为兔肺破裂强度值。充气压为650～700mmH_2O时,无一例肺破裂,只有小灶性出血及轻度肺气肿,故确定此值为兔肺生理耐限值。     

云南哀牢山中山湿性常绿阔叶林树种萌生特征研究

在云南省哀牢山徐家坝地区选择保存完好的原生林与20多年前受到砍伐的森林两种类型的样地。通过调查其中各树种的更新方式和萌生状况,探讨该地区砍伐林的主要恢复途径、树种的萌生特征。结果表明,在种子萌发、地面萌生和地上萌生三种更新方式中,地上萌生所占的比例最大,尤其是变色锥、木果柯、蒙自连蕊茶等树种。在砍伐林中,<0.5m残桩上的萌枝数量显著高于1～2m以及≥2m高的残桩;萌生位置距地面高度与全株高度之比(以下简称萌高比)<0.1处所具有的萌枝数量显著高于其它位置;而在原生林中,残桩高度对萌枝数量无影响,萌高比<0.1处所具有的萌枝数量显著高于萌高比为0.5～0.9处的。     

Navigating Between Treaties and Tweets:How to Ensure Discourse about Maritime Freedom Is Meaningful

In contemporary international discourse about maritime freedom (e.g., “freedom of navigation”), nations often speak in generalities, but rarely clarify what they mean. To reduce the risk of misunderstanding, nations should navigate their use of language between two purposes simultaneously. First, any discussion should be concise, communicable, and comprehendible. Additionally, nations should also be prepared to dialogue on these matters in greater depth and detail, and any substantive discussion should be faithful to the applicable international law that binds nations. A way to ensure such discourse is meaningful is by following a three-step process of labeling, framing, and applying. This article details this approach.
