A large number of research results showed that successive cropping of rice and wheat resulted in a series of problems such as hindering nutrition absorption, gradual degeneration of soil fertility, decline of soil organic matter, and increased incidence of diseases and pests. In China, especially in the Chengdu plain where rice-wheat cropping system is practiced, productivity and soil fertility was enhanced and sustained. This paper reviews the relevant data and experiences on rice-wheat cropping in the Chengdu Plain from 1977 to 2006. The principal sustainable strategies used for rice-wheat cropping systems in Chengdu Plain included: 1) creating a favorable environment and viable rotations; 2) balanced fertilization for maintenance of sustainable soil productivity; 3) improvement of crop management for higher efficiency; and 4) use the newest cultivars and cultivation techniques to upgrade the production level. Future research is also discussed in the paper as: 1) the constant topic: a highly productive and efficient rice-wheat cropping system for sustainable growth; 2) the future trend: simplified cultivation techniques for the rice-wheat cropping system; 3) the foundation: basic research for continuous innovation needed for intensive cropping. It is concluded that in the rice-wheat cropping system, a scientific and reasonable tillage/cultivation method can not only avoid the degradation of soil productivity, but also maintain sustainable growth in the long run.展开更多

In this context, the concept of "sponge city" is proposed. This paper, based on the theory of sponge city and low impact development, elaborated the origin, development, connotation, and construction method of "sponge city" concept. In this paper, the urban design scheme of Renbei District in Chengdu was taken for example to analyze the geographical environment and climate characteristics of Chengdu and explain the formation and verification of the scheme. It is considered that the "sponge city" is different from the traditional urban infrastructure. It is essentially an ecological approach. Its core is to build a cross-scale urban water ecological infrastructure to comprehensively solve the prominent water-related problems of urban and rural areas in China.展开更多

However, this railway's safety is often threatened by debris flows. How to effectively forecast and alarm the debris flow disasters and reduce the losses is the aim to study the prevention system in this paper. The factors to cause or influence debris flow are divided into four parts-the basin environmental factors, the basin meteoric factors, the prevention work's elements and the flood-relief work's elements, and the prevention system is made up of three models-a judgment model to assess the debris flow gully's seriousness, a forecast model to predict the debris flow's occurrence and an alarm model to evaluate the debris flow's disaster. Afterwards, a concise structure chart is worked out and verified by the field data from Chengdu-Kunming Railway. This prevention system will provide beneficial reference for the debris flow's monitoring network to be executed on Chengdu-Kunming Railway.展开更多

Future research is also discussed in the paper as: 1) the constant topic: a highly productive and efficient rice-wheat cropping system for sustainable growth; 2) the future trend: simplified cultivation techniques for the rice-wheat cropping system; 3) the foundation: basic research for continuous innovation needed for intensive cropping. It is concluded that in the rice-wheat cropping system, a scientific and reasonable tillage/cultivation method can not only avoid the degradation of soil productivity, but also maintain sustainable growth in the long run.
文摘The social nutrition status was investigated among 246 subjects aged 60-90 living at three urban communities in Chengdu of Sichuan Province. The questionnaire was designed to evaluate socirydeweraphic background, the subjects' nutrition knowledge, and the support systerns for geriatric nutrition. Fasting venous blcod was colected for the analysis of biochemical parameters. Blood pressure, bene mineral contents (BMC), body weight (BW) and they height (BH) were measured at the same time. Only 49. 7% of the subjects correctly an swered four basic questions on nutrition. Food patterns for the elder1y were simple and modest. Several nutrition-related disorders for the elderly were including high systolic bbo pressure (44. 6 % ), hyPertriglyceridemia (25. 9 % ), high diasto1ic blood pressure (25. 1% ),obesity (24. 5% ), high PBG (20. 6% ), emaciation (19. 9%), high FBG (17.9%) and osteoporosis (16. 8%). These data indicate that the support systems for the geriatric nutrition will have to be improved.

文摘In recent years,with the rapid development of urbanization in our country,academic circles have paid more attentions to and made fruitful achievements on the research of vernacular settlement. On this basis,this paper took Chengdu Plain's traditional town spatial morphology as the research object to interpret its spatial form through its composition elements and characteristics which are influenced by nature,history,culture and other factors. And then,it took Jiezi ancient town as an example to analyze the renewal of its spatial form so as to inherit the vernacular culture and promote the conservation of cultural heritage and sustainable development of traditional town in the course of constructing urban cities with Chinese characteristics.
文摘Cities are currently confronted with many urban problems, such as water shortages, water quality pollution, floods, and the loss of habitats of aquatic organisms, and badly in need of a more comprehensive solution. In this context, the concept of "sponge city" is proposed. This paper, based on the theory of sponge city and low impact development, elaborated the origin, development, connotation, and construction method of "sponge city" concept. In this paper, the urban design scheme of Renbei District in Chengdu was taken for example to analyze the geographical environment and climate characteristics of Chengdu and explain the formation and verification of the scheme. It is considered that the "sponge city" is different from the traditional urban infrastructure. It is essentially an ecological approach. Its core is to build a cross-scale urban water ecological infrastructure to comprehensively solve the prominent water-related problems of urban and rural areas in China.
文摘Chengdu University of Technology (CDUT), located on the eastern edge of the Qinghai—Tibet Plateau, a higher education and research institution with a focus on geosciences, has paid special attention to scientific research on Q—T Plateau. In the earlier 1950s Professor Zhang Zhuoyuan, the former president of CDUT and Professor Ren Tianpei joined the geological survey in Tibet as members of the Tibetan geological working group organized by the Central Government of China. Since the 1980s, research on the Q—T Plateau has reached a golden age, and recognized this, CDUT established the Resources and Environment Research Center of Qinghai—Tibet Plateau in order to lead and coordinate the research around the Plateau continuously and smoothly. There are often more than 50 geologists involved in research during any given year. Scientists from CDUT are now conducting many kinds of research programs covering the whole area of the Plateau, from the Himalayas in the south to the Tianshan Mountains in the north, from the Longmen Mountains and the West Yunnan Plateau in the east to Ali area in the west. Scientists from CDUT have completed cooperative research programs with foreign scientists from the U. S., France, U.K., Japan, Austria, Canada, Germany and Australia. Research subjects include National Key Basic Research, State Scientific Key Projects, National Natural Scientific Foundation Projects, National Outstanding Young Scientists Foundation Projects, as well as Basic Geological Survey, Mineral Resources Evaluation, Analysis of Potential Oil and Gas Resources, Geohazard Protection.. More than 40 projects and 6 geological maps in different scales (1∶1000000, 1∶200000, 1∶50000) have been completed.. Research funding has increased to billions of yuan. Thousands relevant research papers and works have been published. More than 20 projects have won scientific achievement awards at national, ministerial and provincial levels. Meanwhile, a research group of young and middle\|aged scientists led by Prof. Wang Chengshan has formed and is determined to devote itself to the Q—T geological research. Many of them have broken established rules and have become professors or gained prizes. To strengthen Q—T research, the Ministry of Land and Resources specially established the Laboratory of Continental Dynamics of the Qianghai—Tibet Plateau at CDUT in 1999. Academicians, Li Tingdong and Liu Baojun, are the Honorary Directors of the Lab and the Academic Committee of the Lab respectively. Professor Wang Chengshan and Prof. Zhu Jieshou are the Directors.

文摘[Objectives]This study aimed to analyze the sustainable use of agricultural land in the Chengdu metropolitan area from 2006 to 2016.[Methods]Using Odum's emergy theory,an index system was constructed to evaluate the sustainable use of agricultural land,including total emergy input-output ratio,industrial emergy input-output ratio,environmental load index and sustainable use index of agricultural land based on emergy,to reflect the sustainable use of agricultural land in the Chengdu metropolitan area.The data base was a unified standard that was converted from various types of energy stored and flowing in the agricultural land system of the Chengdu metropolitan area,that is,emergy.[Results]From 2006 to 2016,the total emergy input-output ratio of agricultural land in the metropolitan area fluctuated and decreased,lower than the national average.The industrial emergy input-output ratio was generally in a fluctuating downward trend.The environmental load index of agricultural land in the metropolitan area was lower than the national average.However,it has been on the rise since 2012.During the corresponding period,the sustainable use index of the region also showed a downward trend.[Conclusions]The utilization rate of emergy in this area was low.The dependence of industrial emergy input-output ratio on industrial subsidiary energy and the degree of agricultural mechanization are constantly improving.The environmental resources in this area still have room for accommodation and have not been fully utilized.The sustainable use of agricultural land has been declining.
文摘Chengdu-Kunming Railway is an important transport line on southwestern China. However, this railway's safety is often threatened by debris flows. How to effectively forecast and alarm the debris flow disasters and reduce the losses is the aim to study the prevention system in this paper. The factors to cause or influence debris flow are divided into four parts-the basin environmental factors, the basin meteoric factors, the prevention work's elements and the flood-relief work's elements, and the prevention system is made up of three models-a judgment model to assess the debris flow gully's seriousness, a forecast model to predict the debris flow's occurrence and an alarm model to evaluate the debris flow's disaster. Afterwards, a concise structure chart is worked out and verified by the field data from Chengdu-Kunming Railway. This prevention system will provide beneficial reference for the debris flow's monitoring network to be executed on Chengdu-Kunming Railway.
