SOIL AGGREGATE AND ITS RESPONSE TO LAND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

This paper provides a broad review of the existing study on soil aggregate and its responses to land management practices. Soil aggregate is used for structural unit, which is a group of primary soil particles that cohere to each other more strongly than other surrounding particles. The mechanism of soil particle aggregation may be expressed by a hierarchical model, which is based upon the hypothesis that macroaggregates （〉250μm） are collections of smaller microaggregates （〈250μm） held together with organic binding agents. Primary particles form microaggregates and then macroaggregates. Carbon （C）-rich young plant residues form and stabilize macroaggregates, whereas old organic C is occluded in the microaggregates. The interaction of aggregate dynamics with soil organic carbon （SOC） is complex and embraces a range of spatial and temporal processes within macroaggregates and microaggregates. The nature and properties of aggregates are determined by the quantity and quality of coarse residues and humic compounds and by the degree of their interaction with soil particles. The mechanisms resulting in the binding of primary soil particles into stable aggregates vary with soil parent material, climate, vegetation, and land management practices. Land management practices, including tillage methods, residue management, amendments, and soil fertility management, enhance soil aggregation. However, there is still much uncertainty in the dynamics of organic matter in macroaggregation and microaggregation, and research is still needed to understand further the mechanisms of aggregate formation and its responses to human activities.

沟谷坡面风沙起动规律研究

根据坡面风沙受力情况,以滚动模式建立了坡面风沙起动的风速公式.计算分析了相同风向条件下不同坡度风沙的起动风速和相同坡度条件下不同风向风沙的起动风速,并与平面风沙起动计算风速和实测风速进行了比较.计算分析表明,在风向一定时,坡面风沙更容易起动,风沙起动速率随着坡度的变陡而变小.在坡度一定时,风沙起动风速受到风向的影响很大,起动风速随风力与水平面垂线夹角的增大而增大.与平面相比,当风力与水平面垂线夹角小于90°时,坡面风沙起动流速比平面为小.在当风力与水平面垂线夹角大于90°时,起动风速比平面为大.当坡面为平面时,风沙起动公式与平面拜格诺起动公式完全一致.

利用宁波市55年长序列耕地统计数据，20余年相关社会经济资料，从宁渡市耕地的数量变化、利用程度的变化和变化的区域差异等方面，分析了宁波市耕地动态变化的趋势和规律．应用主成分分析，定量地诊断出耕地变化的驱动因子，揭示耕地变化的驱动机制．结果表明：耕地数量总体呈不断减少趋势，人口压力、经济发展动态是影响宁波市耕地动态变化的主要动因．在此基础上，运用多元回归分析建立耕地变化回归模型．该成果将为宁波市合理地利用和保护耕地提供理论指导．     

高地应力下大型地下洞室拱形优化研究

高地应力区的大型洞室开挖会引起洞室拱周附近围岩应力集中和塑性区加大以及塑性应变的增加，但过高的应力集中会增加岩爆发生的几率，塑性区的加深会促使围岩失稳；洞室拱形形状会影响围岩应力集中和塑性区大小的分布，因此，以某高地应力下的大型发电洞岩体地质资料为依托，用弹塑性有限元分析高地应力地下大型发电洞室常采用的3种洞室拱形（即单心圆拱、三心圆拱和椭圆拱）对拱部围岩应力的影响，计算结果表明这种影响是非常明显的，有的应力集中系数达到3．33，无论采用哪种拱形，均避不开拱座附近应力集中现象。根据开挖后拱部围岩的塑性耗散能可以判断，无论初始地应力侧压系数是多少，椭圆拱是最优的，其次是三心圆拱。     

Hierarchy in social organization

We find that area and population distributions of nations follow an inverse power-law, as is known for cities, but with a different exponent. To interpret this result, we develop a growth model based on the geometrical properties of partitioning of the plane. The substantial agreement between the model and the actual nation distributions motivates the hypothesis that the distribution of aggregates of organisms is related to land partitioning. To test this hypothesis we follow the development of bacterial colonies of Escherichia coli, which, compared to humans, are on a completely different level of complexity. We find that the distributions of E. coli colonies follow an inverse power law with exponent similar to that of nations.     

Draftability of a 8.95 kW walking tractor on tilled land

A 8.95-kW walking tractor was evaluated for draft and drawbar power on tilled land. Empirical equations were developed to correlate the relationship between draft and wheel slip, drawbar power and wheel slip and drawbar power and fuel consumption. The values of draft, drawbar power and specific fuel consumption were calculated at 25% wheel slip. The results indicated that the values of draft on tilled land with pneumatic wheels at engine speed of 2000 rpm were 803 and 773 N in second low and third low gears, respectively. The respective draft values at engine speed of 1500 rpm were 748 and 735 N in second low and third low gears under slightly loose soil conditions. Mounting of a 40-kg wheel ballast increased the value of draft to 901 and 921 N at an engine speed of 2000 rpm and 872 and 888 N at an engine speed of 1500 rpm in second low and third low gears. Replacement of pneumatic wheels by steel wheels further increased the draft readings to 1034 and 999 N at an engine speed of 2000 rpm and 913 and 935 N at engine speed of 1500 rpm in second low and third low gears, respectively, indicating significant increase in drawbar power both at 2000 and 1500 rpm in second low and third low gears with the use of steel wheels. The specific fuel consumption decreased by about 28% and 27% at engine speed of 2000 rpm and about 17% and 21% at engine speed of 1500 rpm in second low and third low gear with the use of steel wheels over pneumatic wheels without wheel ballast. The specific fuel consumption decreased by about 4% and 14% at engine speed of 2000 rpm and 7% and 23% at engine speed of 1500 rpm in second low and third low gears, respectively, with the use of steel wheels over pneumatic wheels with 40 kg wheel ballast.
