The primary aims of the study are:(1) to determine SQI values of the micro-basin in terms of land degradation and desertification.Moreover, the best-worst method(BWM) was used to determine the weighting score for each parameter;(2) to produce the soils' spatial distribution by utilizing different geostatistical models and GIS(geographic information system) techniques;and(3) to validate the obtained SQI values with biomass reflectance values. Therefore, the relationship of RE-OSAVI(red-edge optimized soil-adjusted vegetation index) and NDVI(normalized difference vegetation index) generated from Sentinel-2A satellite images at different time series with soil quality was examined. Results showed that SQI values were high in the areas that had almost a flat and slight slope. Moreover, the areas with high clay content and thick soil depth did not have salinity problems, and were generally distributed in the middle parts of the basin. However, the areas with a high slope, poor vegetation, high sand content, and low water holding capacity had low SQI values.Furthermore, a statistically high positive correlation of RE-OSAVI and NDVI indices with soil quality was found, and NDVI had the highest correlative value for June(R~2=0.802) compared with RE-OSAVI.展开更多

A list of 16 quality and safety attributes of milk products based on previous studies was compiled and used in this study. The balanced incomplete block design technique was used to build the questionnaire administered to respondents in the data collection. The multinomial mixed logit was employed to analyze the data. Results suggest that nutritive value, shelf life, availability, purity and safety are the most important attributes of milk product; while origin, fat content, food miles, packaging and handling convenience are the least importance attributes of milk products to consumers The study concludes that demand for dairy products can be significantly stimulated in the study area when these most important attributes have been considered by producers, processors and marketers.展开更多

文摘为针对性地解决转炉炼钢作业时的消防安全问题,提出将熵权-最优最劣法(Best Worst Method,BWM)和物元可拓模型相结合的转炉车间火灾风险评估模型。通过将指标分为人、物料设备、环境、管理及消防设施5大类,构建转炉车间火灾风险评估指标体系;利用复合语言对35个指标进行评价,引入有序加权平均算子(Ordered Weighted Averaging,OWA)计算各语言的犹豫语言术语集(Hesitant Fuzzy Linguistic Term Set,HFLTS)模糊包络,再根据各专家权重进行加权计算并将语言量化构成评价矩阵;基于熵权、BWM分别算得各指标权重,再运用最小二乘法得到综合权重;最后利用物元可拓模型确定各指标及转炉车间的火灾风险等级。以河北省某炼钢转炉车间为例进行评估得出:该转炉车间的综合风险等级为I级(安全),其中动火监护的人员监管情况、氧枪法兰松紧度、炉前温度环境、作业现场物品摆放情况、作业巡查及设备检查情况和消防疏散通道堵塞情况仍需改善。
