Total oil spill costs and compensations

Although counteracting environmental programmes and policies have been strengthened, large oil spills still occur at irregular intervals. The total oil spill costs and their compensations have attracted much interest from various parties, such as local stakeholders, and state and federal governments. This paper addresses five major cost categories whose aggregations are expected to cover the overall direct and indirect costs after the release of an oil spill. Among them, research costs should not be neglected, since they tend to be high if public attention has been drawn to the case. Through an examination of the relationship between the total oil spill costs and their admissible claims, we found that:

1. admissible claims do not cover the overall costs of the oil spill, and
2. admissible claims cannot be compensated in full in the case of large spills.

Clearly, a sound oil spill contingency management aims to minimize both the environmental impacts of areas most at risk and the total oil spill costs. In this paper an economic model for measuring environmental damages following an oil spill is addressed and applied to the Prestige case which happened to be the worst oil pollution in the history of Spain. The model indicates how an ideally a priori economic evaluation may intuitively help managers to make informed as well as fast decisions in contingency cases.     

受电弓参数测定方法的研究

对单自由度欠阻尼振动特性进行理论推导,得出其一般运动规律,并利用此规律对受电弓参数进行测定。对于框架归算质量的测量,考虑到其结构是一个复杂的空间杆件结构,测量比较困难,于是采用单频稳态正弦激振方法得到其归算质量。     

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF SECOND-ORDER STATISTICS FOR CYCLOSTATIONARY SIGNALS

Introduction　　 In natural and man- made signals,there existwidely a special kind of non- stationary signal,forwhich the statistics,correlation function or higher-order statistics,vary not only with time but alsowith multiple incommensurate periods ( periodicallyor polyperiodically) .The random signal,such ascommunication,radar,telemetry,sonar,etc andthe data thatsubjectto seasonal and rhythmic vari-ations,such as hydrologic,oceanic,climatic,ex-hibit periodically the time- varying characteris…     

气象信息在船舶管理中的应用

从船舶航行安全、可靠性角度考虑，一个重要的影响因素是航行船舶所在海域的气象状况，因此气象信息对于船舶调度管理起到非常积极重要的作用。如何获取气象信息，并把获取的气象信息融合到电子海图显示平台中，对于航行船舶的监控和管理显得十分有意义。针对如何获取气象信息及如何与电子海图叠加显示两方面的内容进行了论述。

胃食管反流性胸痛的临床特点及食管测压分析

对２４例胃食管反流性胸痛患者的食管测压分析，显示可出现食管下扩约肌静止压及食管上扩约肌静止压异常升高、体部高幅蠕动或蠕动紊乱等不同类型的食管运动障碍。表明胃食管反流性胸痛的发生与这种食管的运动障碍有关。对其发生机理及临床特点进行了讨论。     

二维薄板在超音速气流作用下的热弹性颤振

根据von-Karman几何非线性应变位移关系建立了二维薄板在超音速气流作用下的非线性动力学模型,其中气动力根据一阶准静态活塞理论计算.用假设模态法和伽辽金方法使方程离散化,然后用Runge-Kutta方法计算.分析结果用分叉图和相图描述.结果表明,温度效应降低了板的稳定性;随动压增大,系统经历稳定运动、周期运动和混沌运动状态.
