Local Level Fisheries Management in Diani-Chale,Kenya: Current Status and Future Directions

The current regime of fisheries management and the prospects for attaining a more locally oriented, collaborative system of fisheries management in Diani-Chale, Kenya are examined. At present fisheries management in Diani-Chale is characterized by diminished government capacity for regulation, weakened local institutions, and little ability to exert control over the use of fisheries. Local level management requires the development and use of local institutions that can govern the use of fishery resources. The fish landing sites used by fishers and their associated fishing grounds were identified to be at the appropriate level for resolving fishery management issues. A more formal role for these entities, the clarification of fishing ground tenure and access rights, and support for the development and enforcement of local fishing rules can further local management. The socioeconomic condition of fishers, their fear of losing landing sites, and the continued perception of the imposition of a marine reserve pose barriers to initiatives seeking to further local level management.     

Modeling the behavioral determinants of travel behavior: An application of latent transition analysis

This paper applies the relatively new method of latent class transition analysis to explore the notion that qualitative differences in travel behavior patterns are substantively meaningful and therefore relevant from explanatory point of view. For example, because the bicycle may function as an important access and egress mode, a car user who also (occasionally) uses the bicycle may be more likely to switch to a public transit profile than someone who only uses the car. Data from the Dutch mobility panel are used to inductively reveal travel behavior patterns and model transitions in these patterns over time. Additionally, the effects of seven exogenous variables, including two important life events (i.e. moving house and changing jobs), on cluster membership and the transition probabilities are assessed. The results show that multiple-mode users compared to single-mode users are more likely to switch from one behavioral profile to another. In addition, age, the residential environment, moving house and changing jobs have strong influences on the transition probabilities between the revealed behavioral patterns over time.     

路桥过渡段路基加固体的拓扑优化

应用拓扑优化理论,采用简化的假定条件,基于应变能最小即刚度最大原理,对路桥过渡段路基加固体的结构布置形式进行了优化。通过分析荷载模式、填高、加固长度和面积等因素对最优拓扑图形的影响,得出了路桥过渡段路基加固体的最优布置方式。拓扑优化结果表明：路桥过渡段路基加固的不同区域对结构刚度的贡献排序为,固定端附近区域-中间偏上区域-中间偏下区域-路基顶面远端区域;上长下短的倒梯形布置形式的结构刚度最大,其抵抗地基沉降变形的能力最强,表明目前桥头常用的倒梯形布置形式具有理论上的合理性;路基加固体底面布置长度应不小于2 m,由下向上斜率应缓于1∶1。

多年冻土区路桥过渡段变形及地温场试验

根据多年冻土区路桥过渡段路基在竣工后3 a内的现场试验数据,分析了路基不同位置的地温变化、路基基底沉降变形和路基不同位置沿横向及纵向的沉降变形规律。结果表明:采用粗颗粒土填筑的过渡段路基对多年冻土区土体有明显的冷却效果,可防止多年冻土上限的下降;路基阳坡的沉降大于阴坡,而沿路基纵向,距离桥台越远路基沉降越大,但路基沿横向和纵向的沉降均满足工程要求;这种粗颗粒土填筑的路桥过渡段可适用于多年冻土区。
