Economic impact of non-motorized transportation in Indian cities

Lack of a clear understanding regarding the economic impacts of non-motorized modes is a major reason why they are excluded from the transportation development agenda of cities in India. Keeping this aspect in mind the present study has been divided in to two parts. The first part tries to understand the non-motorized traffic evolution in India. It focuses on the declination of non-motorized modes, necessity to revamp it, the favorable conditions to promote them in India and the relative problems associated with it. It is found here that there is a necessity for defining the role of non-motorized modes in India for the viable implementation of infrastructure and policies related with it.     

Testing the Effects of Constraints on Climate Change–Friendly Behavior among Groups of Australian Residents

This study explores the relationship between Australian's attitudes toward climate change impacts on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and environmentally responsible behavior (ERB). We hypothesize that general attitudes toward climate change, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control predict intended and reported behavior, and that attitude negatively influences constraints on adopting ERB. The moderating effect of residential condition (urban vs. rural contexts) was tested across these hypothesized relationships. We randomly selected 200 individuals from eight regions: Five within 50 km of the GBR Coastline and three from the Statistical Metropolitan Areas in Australia. We yielded 1,623 surveys by telephone interviews. Findings confirm our hypotheses and suggest the most important predictor of intentions is perceived behavioral control. The two groups of respondents (urban vs. rural) illustrate different relationships. This study offers insight on how managers of the GBR can effectively shape residents' behavioral tendencies that minimize human impacts on the natural environment.     

The Origins and Early Implementation of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976

The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Management and Conservation Act, enacted in 1974, is the primary federal fishery management legislation in the United States. The political impetus that led to enactment was the extensive foreign fish off U.S. shores that expanded following World War II and the failure of international negotiations to prevent the decline in many fisheries relied upon by domestic fishers. In Congress, there was uncertainty as to whether a comprehensive management program would be created along with a unilateral extension of fishery management jurisdiction out to 200 nautical miles. The delay in agreement over a new United Nations Law of the Sea Treaty and resolution of the extent of coastal nation jurisdiction over fisheries culminated in enactment of the legislation sponsored by Senator Warren Magnuson, a Democrat from Washington State, and Senator Ted Stevens, a Republican from the State of Alaska.     

内河船舶交通流建模与仿真研究

为了更精确地模拟内河船舶交通流的运行状态,根据内河船舶相互影响特性,将航道作为交通流中为船舶提供通航服务的主要资源,将船舶行为及相互之间的耦合关系模型化,在此基础上构建基于通航服务资源的内河船舶交通流模型.利用仿真软件进行仿真实验,结合长江干线某断面流量数据进行实例验证.实验结果表明,该模型能较好地模拟内河宏观交通流.     

最小二乘法修正船底基线

船底基线是船舶水尺和载重线堪划的基准,船底基线的挠度也是检验船体建造精度的重要指标之一.如果测量的挠度值超过了允许极限,除了需向船东解释超差的原因外,还要提出合理的修正措施.选用最小二乘法对超差的船底基线挠度进行修正是一种值得推荐的方法.

溶洞分布部位对隧道稳定性影响的数值分析

岩溶隧道的稳定性与岩溶的分布部位有关。定量分析不同分布部位的溶洞对隧道位移场、应力场、塑性区分布规律及主应力分布规律的影响,来确定对隧道稳定性最不利的溶洞分布部位。以宜万铁路某岩溶隧道为背景,利用FLAC软件模拟分析隧道周边无溶洞、溶洞位于隧道侧部、溶洞位于隧道顶部和溶洞位于隧道底部4种工况下隧道的稳定性状况,得出对隧道稳定性最不利的溶洞位置是隧道侧部。
