Analysis of the Impact of Off-farm Employment of Agricultural Labor on Grain Production in Shandong Province and Henan Province

[Objective] This study aimed to investigate the impact of off-farm employment of agricultural labor on grain production. [Method] Impact of off-farm employment of agricultural labor on grain production was investigated based on path analysis by using data from 200 counties and cities in Shandong Province and Henan Province in 2000 and 2008. [Result] Off-farm employment of agricultural labor affects grain production through agricultural land use patterns, off-farm employment of agricultural labor has negative impacts on grain production through multiple cropping index and positive impacts through the proportion of grain planting area. The positive impacts were greater in 2008. [Conclusion] Prerequisite of the positive impacts of off-farm employment on grain production is the substitution of agricultural mechanization development and agricultural technology advancement for agricultural labor. Orderly land circulation and scale land use should be promoted to avoid the lack of agricultural labor due to off-farm employment.

A CORBA-Based Integration Platform of Product Development Process Management for Concurrent Engineering

Product development process management plays an important role in concurrent engineering (CE). The integration platform is a useful tool for effectively supporting the software development and integration. Based on the analysis of practical requirements for product development process management for CE, a CORBA-based integration platform of product development process management (IP-PDPM) is designed and developed. The design principles for IP-PDPM are described. The system architecture and functions of the platform are given, the key technologies for the implementation of IP-PDPM are presented, the application integration mechanism and its implementation techniques are also detailed.

我国粮食生产利益补偿机制研究

我国以粮食直补为主体的粮食生产利益补偿机制,对稳定粮食生产、保护粮食安全和增加农民收入有着较大的促进作用;但也存在补贴额度较小、粮食最低收购价偏低、补贴标准不统一、行政成本过高等问题,而且没有考虑粮食主产区农业基础设施建设等公共产品不足及其政府的积极性,同时,粮食补贴普惠制本身也有局限性。应加大粮食补贴力度、改变补贴方式、统一补贴发放标准、降低行政成本,适当提高粮食最低收购价,加大对粮食主产区的财政转移支付力度,增加粮食主产区农业基础设施建设补贴。

马里亚纳南部弧内坡橄榄岩的岩石学及地球化学特征：对弧前地幔流体交代作用的指示

马里亚纳俯冲带弧内坡由于俯冲的太平洋板片的侵蚀而出露了相当于弧下地幔成分的橄榄岩,这些橄榄岩是研究岛弧岩浆作用及弧下地幔流体交代作用难得的样品。报道了马里亚纳南部关岛以南的弧内坡橄榄岩的矿物组成、主量元素以及微量元素地球化学特征。这些岩石具有非常难熔的矿物组成:橄榄石具有很高的Mg,斜方辉石中的Al2O3含量极低,尖晶石具有很高的Cr。滑石、蛇纹石和角闪石(透闪石为主,有少量镁角闪石和浅闪石)则指示了流体在中低温度下对橄榄岩的交代作用,并表明流体可能含有较高的SiO2、Al2O3和Na2O。全岩的主量元素中,CaO和Al2O3的质量百分比含量很低,而MgO的含量较高(干体系下多在43%左右),显示岩石经历了高度熔融。微量元素中,U和Sr的含量较高,相对富集,可能是来源较浅的板片流体化学特点的反映。
