Research Agenda for Understanding Transboundary Ecosystem Changes and Eco-security in Southwestern China

The longitudinal range-gorge region (LRGR) in Southwestern China, characterized by longitudinal mountain ranges and deep valleys, includes the basins of four major international rivers: the Yuanjiang-Red, Lancang Mekong, Nujiang Salween and Irrawaddy. This region is classified as one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots, and provides an important ecological and economic corridor linking China and Southeast Asian countries. Over the past half century, it has served as a resource base for timber and minerals needed to fuel economic development, which resulted in rapid and drastic changes in ecosystem and species diversity. Proposed and ongoing development programs, such as China’s Great Western Development campaign, Greater Mekong Subregional Economic Cooperation (GMS) and China-ASEAN free trade zone development (“10+1”), threaten to bring unprecedented disturbance to the region’s ecosystems. Present and emerging threats to eco-security have caught tremendous attention worldwide. Therefore, studies on such problems are critical for enhancing ecosystem health and transboundary eco-security. This paper indicates several multi-disciplinary and cross-sector studies on transboundary resources in this region that will meet three major national needs: 1) identifying core scientific issues of ecological development and infrastructure construction in highplateau and mountainous areas for the Western Development campaign; 2) developing maintenance mechanisms and control methodologies for transboundary eco-security and resource base development; 3) providing scientific grounds for multi-lateral diplomacy, trade and economic cooperation, and conflict resolution as part of China’s opening-up to south Asia. The key subjects to be solved include dynamics and major drive forces of this area, ecological effects caused by major projects construction, and transboundary eco-security and its controlling. The research projects proposed in this article will develop theories on ecosystem change and transboundary eco-security, and provide a scientific basis for national and international development strategies.

Performance Analysis of Physical Layer Security over α-η-κ-μ Fading Channels

In this paper, we consider the secure data transmission over α-η-κ-μ fading channels, which are recently proposed to encompass nearly all the well-known statistical models adopted in the literature. In particular, we address the secrecy performance in terms of the average secrecy capacity(ASC) and the secrecy outage probability(SOP), for which novel analytical expressions are derived. Simulation results verify the analysis and demonstrate the impact of the physical parameters on the secrecy performance of this new channel fading model.

Systematic Design and Coordination Acts of Ecological Security in Upper Yangtze River in China

In this paper, systematic design and act of eco-security is discussed as a focal point of conflict and unrest. The situation of ecosystem, the schematic framework of eco-security design, the main acts of ecosystem improvement, major difficulties and challenges have also been analyzed. The purpose of this study was to formulate the systematic framework of eco-security maintenance, to highlight systematic idea or philosophy of ecological rehabilitation and eco-security. A three-dimensional schematic model is applied to design the security of ecosystem. It was concluded that: 1) maintaining ecological security requires far better and sophisticated resource management skill and ecological improvement measures, and is also a continuing and multifac-eted task. It cannot be permanently accomplished by a single action and program; 2) at present, technical system and policy and law system dimensions of ecological security are not enough even in short; 3) development of ecological industries is beneficial to local economic development and ecosystem protection.

The effectiveness of the department of defense's field manual 3-11 in detecting,deterring and degrading the breach of a combat base by a human-borne with bioagent(HBBA):perceptions of security personnel

Background: The department of defense's field manual(FM) 3-11 is among the military's field manuals for preparing for, reacting to and recovering from chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear attacks. Since post 9-11, U.S. military service members have been deployed in the global war on terrorism. This study attempted to determine the effectiveness of the FM 3-11 in detecting, deterring or preventing a human-borne with bioagent(HBBA) terrorist breach at an entry control point(ECP).Methods: This time-specific, cross-sectional study disseminated a validated survey tool with Cronbach's α>0.82 to respondents who have had antiterrorism training and combat ECP experience. The return rate was greater than 75.0%; however, many of the respondents failed to meet the inclusion criteria. Consequently, only 26 questionnaires were included in the sample.Results: The results revealed that while over 60.0% of the respondents either strongly agreed or agreed that biointelligence, the deployment of biodetectors and the use of biowarning systems could be effective in preventing an ECP breach by a terrorist with a bioagent, the use of protective equipment and immunization to decontaminate service members or other tactics, techniques and procedures(TTPs) would never prevent a breach. A large percentage of respondents claimed that soldiers at the ECP lacked the devices or the knowledge to detect an HBBA at an ECP, and 72.0% suggested modifying current ECP TTPs to include education, training and equipment for security personnel at military base ECPs.Conclusion: If obtained from appropriate sources and communicated to the personnel at the ECP in an effective or timely manner, the possible effectiveness of certain TTPs in the FM 3-11, specifically FM 3-11.86(intelligence), might increase.

Enhancement of Multicast Security with Opportunistic Relaying Technique over κ-μ Shadowed Fading Channels

The effects of scatterers, fluctuation parameter and propagation clusters significantly affect the performance of κ-μ shadowed fading channel. On the other hand, opportunistic relaying is an efficient technique to improve the performance of fading channels reducing the effects of aforementioned parameters. Motivated by these issues, in this paper, a secure wireless multicasting scenario through κ-μ shadowed fading channel is considered in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers with opportunistic relaying. The main purpose of this paper is to ensure the security level in wireless multicasting compensating the loss of security due to the effects of power ratio between dominant and scattered waves, fluctuation parameter, and the number of propagation clusters, multicast users and eavesdroppers, by opportunistic relaying technique. The closed-form analytical expressions are derived for the probability of non-zero secrecy multicast capacity (PNSMC) and the secure outage probability for multicasting (SOPM) to understand the insight of the effects of above parameters. The results show that the loss of security in multicasting through κ-μ shadowed fading channel can be significantly enhanced using opportunistic relaying technique by compensating the effects of scatterers, fluctuation parameter, and the number of propagation clusters, multicast users and eavesdroppers.

Ecological Effects of Remote Smallsand Descending on Urban Area:Deduced from the "Mud - Snow" in Changchun City

A serious sandstorm occurred in North China from April 5 to April 7, 2000, while the remote smallsand decending took place in even larger area to the far northeast China. In Chanchun city, smallsand descending with snow provides the best samples to conduct a quantitative research on the possible impacts of city - ecology. In the 253km2 urban district area of Changchun city, smallsands accumulated up to more than 3000t on April 7, according to the calculation of four "mud - snow" samples. After naturally melting in room temperature, two samples are taken to do quarantine of "invasion bacteria". As a preliminary result, the individual amount of bacterium in 1 ml sample water is up to 8. 9 x 104 or 1. 05 x 105, and it is estimated that there are 640 million "invasion bacterium" individuals in one square meter. This study proves that other than the obvious environmental effects of sandstorm, the urban micro - ecosystem is very possible under threat by the "invasion bacterium" accompanied by remote descending smallsand.

Study on the Reform of Agricultural Supply Side Based on Food Security

In December 2015,the Central Rural Work Conference put forward the structural reform of agricultural supply side,to ensure the national food security. At present,China's grain production is increasing,the supply and demand structure of grain market is not balanced,and the ineffective supply due to the lack of market supply and demand has caused the problem of structural surplus and structural shortage.And price and quality difference of domestic and international grain is obvious,and the agricultural products in China are overstock,so the reform of agricultural supply side based on food security must be implemented. To adjust structure,reduce stock,reduce cost,increase quality,promote the primary,secondary and tertiary industries convergence will become the focus of China's agricultural supply side structural reform,and we can develop the ecological agriculture,improve the competitiveness of the grain market in price and quality,to ensure food security for the nation.

“边境-粮食-生态”安全视域下耕地利用生态效率演变特征与机制——以中越边境地区为例

明晰耕地利用生态效率的驱动机理是深化土地科学前沿探索、优化粮食安全发展格局的关键基础。建构“边境-粮食-生态”安全框架,采用非期望产出的超效率SBM模型测算2000—2020年中越边境地区耕地利用生态效率,通过泰尔指数研究其演变特征和区域差异,并运用动态面板系统GMM模型揭示耕地利用生态效率的驱动机制。结果表明:(1)中越边境地区耕地利用生态效率指数总体呈现“先升-后降-再升”的变化趋势,整体处在中等效率水平,空间表现为“北高-南低”分布格局,省际差异是造成区域差异的主要原因。(2)化肥使用过量、劳动力过剩和碳排放增加是造成中越边境地区耕地投入产出要素松弛、耕地利用生态效率损失的重要因素。(3)中越边境地区耕地利用生态效率由多因子交互作用驱动,地形坡度、城镇化、边境贸易水平、财政支农水平是提高耕地利用生态效率的积极因素,水土流失率、工业化和劳均耕地规模对耕地利用生态效率具有抑制效应。中越边境地区亟需优化耕地经营投入结构,向“投入优-产出高-排放低”方向转型,构建边境粮农稳态格局,促进边境地区长足稳定高质量发展。

United States Healthcare Data Breaches: Insights for NIST SP 800-66 Revision 2 from a Review of the NIST SP 800-66 Revision 1

Healthcare security and privacy breaches are occurring in the United States (US), and increased substantially during the pandemic. This paper reviews the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) publication base as an effective solution. The NIST Special Publication 800-66 Revision 1 was an essential standard in US healthcare, which was withdrawn in February 2024 and superseded by SP 800-66 Revision 2. This review investigates the academic papers concerning the application of the NIST SP 800-66 Revision 1 standard in the US healthcare literature. A systematic review method was used in this study to determine current knowledge gaps of the SP 800-66 Revision 1. Some limitations were employed in the search to enforce validity. A total of eleven articles were found eligible for the study. Consequently, this study suggests the necessity for additional academic papers pertaining to SP 800-66 Revision 2 in the US healthcare literature. In turn, it will enhance awareness of safeguarding electronic protected health information (ePHI), help to mitigate potential future risks, and eventually reduce breaches.

干旱区内陆河流域的生态安全与生态需水量研究--兼谈塔里木河生态需水量问题

结合对干旱区生态安全和生态需水量关键科学问题的探讨,提出干旱内陆河流域生态脆弱区的生态安全分析是以水过程研究为核心的,水文过程控制着生态过程,对流域生态系统的稳定性有着直接影响,而水资源开发利用和水循环对生态系统功能有重要影响,天然植物恢复和生长的合理地下水位的研究是确立生态需水量的基础。并实证分析和计算了维系塔里木河生态安全的生态需水量,塔里木河干流现状生态需水量为31.74×108m3,其中,上、中、下游分别为9.95×108m3、18.47×108m3和3.32×108m3。

基于GIS-Markov区域生态安全时空演变研究——以大连市甘井子区为例

以大连市甘井子区为例,基于压力-状态-响应（P-S-R）框架构建区域生态安全评价体系,利用研究区1990年、2000年和2009年3期TM遥感影像数据,在GIS格网技术下量化多源数据,创建区域生态安全格网数据库,采用加权综合评价方法进行生态安全状态评价。以评价结果为基础,构建区域生态安全GIS-Markov模型,通过计算区域生态安全状态转移矩阵,揭示区域生态安全时空演变特点。研究结果表明：①1990~2009年甘井子区各街道生态安全指数逐年增加,其中1990~2000年生态安全变化较大的地区集中于甘井子北部和中部,西部和南部地区生态安全变化较小;2000~2009年除泉水街道与南关岭街道外,其他地区生态安全状况均大幅好转。②区域背景在生态安全空间演变趋同过程中起着重要的作用。甘井子区生态安全演变的可能性受邻域的影响,安全等级较高的邻域对生态安全等级转移起到正面作用,而安全等级较低的邻域则产生负向影响。1990~2000年,甘井子区生态安全状态受较高安全等级邻域的影响,安全状态好转的面积较大,营城子街道北部及革镇堡街道西部的农村地区受较低安全等级邻域的影响,安全状态变差。2000~2009年,甘井子区生态安全总体向好的方面转变,受邻域的影响较小,只有泉水街道及营城子街道与红旗街道交界处受不安全邻域影响,其生态安全状况转差。

快速城市化区域生态安全的空间模糊综合评价--以广州市为例

随着经济的快速发展,城市生态安全状况令人担忧。进行城市生态安全评价,了解城市生态安全状况成为城市生态建设、改善和提高城市生态安全状况的前提。基于TM遥感数据以及GIS平台,构建评价指标体系,采用空间模糊评价方法进行生态安全的空间综合评价,进而分析其时间与空间变化。生态安全空间分布图及其属性的统计结果表明,整体上讲,广州市生态安全等级为一般,并且随时间推移,生态安全状态比较稳定,但是在1995年受到较大的破坏;不同区域之间生态安全的对比分析显示,广州市生态安全的城乡差异明显,中心城区生态安全状态堪忧;将研究结果与作者早已经完成的同区域基于统计数据的生态安全评价分析结果进行趋势对比,二者显示出一致性,表明基于格网的空间模糊综合评价方法用于生态安全评价是可行的,研究的设计也是合理的,但是这种空间综合评价方法却具有传统方法不具备的优点:不仅具有可视化的表达效果,还有利于不同范围大小区域之间的对比研究。

生态安全条件下土地利用格局优化--以皇甫川流域为例

在人类活动导致的生态环境问题中,土地利用格局变化对区域生态安全起着决定性作用。选择我国乃至在世界上都罕见的多沙、粗沙、强烈水土流失的黄河皇甫川流域作为研究区域,针对土壤侵蚀和生态用水这两大影响流域生态安全的关键问题,开展土地利用变化模拟、土壤侵蚀3S监测、适宜植被盖度估算、土壤侵蚀情景模拟、土地利用格局优化等方面的综合研究。结果表明:(1)土地利用格局变化是导致土壤侵蚀变化的重要因素。从1987年到2015年,建筑用地、林地和灌丛面积增加,水域、沙地和裸砒砂岩面积减少,导致流域年平均土壤侵蚀模数由16160.72 t km-2a-1降至9710.72 t km-2a-1。(2)土地利用类型与土壤侵蚀模数密切相关并存在一定规律。6种不同土地利用类型多年平均土壤侵蚀模数的大小顺序为:裸砒砂岩>沙地>耕地>草地>林地>灌丛,表明灌、林措施是流域植被恢复和土壤侵蚀减少的首选。(3)土地利用结构和空间格局优化有助于提升区域生态安全水平。在优化格局下,2007年和2015年土壤侵蚀模数比优化前分别减少5469.57 t km-2a-1和5432.77 t km-2a-1,优化后2015年土壤侵蚀模数仅为4277.95 t km-2a-1,低于流域自然侵蚀临界值或允许土壤侵蚀模数5300 t km-2a-1,优化土地利用格局成为加强流域生态环境建设的重要途径。

基于P-S-R模型的土地生态安全物元评价——以河南省为例

采用P-S-R模型建立指标体系,对区域土地资源生态安全进行客观评价。采用物元和可拓理论构建了区域土地资源生态安全综合评价模型,以河南省为例进行了研究,用层次分析法进行结果计算。结果表明:研究区域内耕地粮食单产逐年增加,土地流失比例逐年降低,土地质量不断提高,森林覆盖率提高,生态环境得到有效改善,但人口压力过大,人均耕地面积不足仍然是影响土地生态安全的重要因素;GDP总量较大,但人均占有量较少,第三产业占国民收入的比重虽有所提升,但横向比较与全国平均水平仍有差距;产业结构、城乡结构不合理已经成为经济社会发展最突出矛盾,加快转变经济发展方式尤为紧迫。整体水平不容乐观,目前仍处于临界安全水平,评价结果符合当地实际情况。基于P-S-R模型的物元评价方法适用于土地生态安全评价,有一定的推广价值。
