Water and the History of China*

Water is the source of all life, and is closely related to human civilization. It had a special significance in China, so the ancient Chinese created the dragon god as a symbol of China, the Chinese and Chinese civilization. It can be said that the unique hydrological conditions on the territory of China created three great historical miracles: China, the Chinese people, and Chinese civilization. The Chinese have dedicated more effort than people in any other countries to water control and water use in order to make effective use of water resources and prevent flooding. It is their unparalleled achievements that have laid the foundation for these three miracles. Today, the Chinese people are facing unprecedented challenges in water control and water use. Exploring the historical Chinese relationship with water offers a good opportunity to understand the important role that water plays in long-term social development.     

Water cycle algorithm for solving the reliability-redundancy allocation problem with a choice of redundancy strategies

Abstract

This paper proposes a new mathematical model for the reliability-redundancy allocation problem (RRAP) with a choice of redundancy strategies. To maximize the reliability of a system, this model chooses the best redundancy strategy from among both active and standby ones for each subsystem. For those with a standby strategy, a continuous time Markov chain model is used to calculate the exact reliability values. In order to solve the proposed mixed-integer non-linear programing model, a powerful evolutionary algorithm, called water cycle algorithm (WCA), is developed and implemented on three famous benchmark problems. Finally, the results of different benchmark problems are compared with those previously reported to show the superiority of the proposed model and the efficiency of WCA.

当前，澜湄水资源合作正处于确立合作项目与建立合作机制的关键时期。机遇与挑战并存。如何将区域争议点转化为区域合作亮点，最大限度地协调沿岸国水利益，统筹各方水需求，形成符合澜湄流域实际的合作机制，促成“水命运共同体”建设，确保流域的可持续发展，是开展水资源合作必须思考的问题。文章回顾了我国推动澜湄水资源合作的发展历程。针对问题提出了以公平合理利用原则为切入点，深化澜湄水资源合作的建议。     

川东北地区须家河组二段储层差异性分析

随着勘探程度的深入，为了扩大四川盆地天然气勘探领域、寻找新的勘探接替区，四川盆地的勘探区域由盆内逐渐向盆缘延伸。在这种背景下，川东北地区须家河组二段相继取得新的勘探成果，但在勘探开发过程中逐渐暴露了诸如区块之间气井产能差异大，储层的碎屑组分、结构及厚度、物性、孔隙结构差异明显等问题，制约了勘探开发的步伐。针对上述问题，根据岩芯观察描述、分析化验资料及测井解释成果，从沉积、成岩方面入手，对比剖析了川东北龙岗和营山地区须二段储层特征的差异性及其成因，认为远离物源区和高能水体的反复淘洗是造成储层差异性的首要因素，强烈的压实作用和多期石英加大对储层差异性起关键作用，自生绿泥石衬边胶结和长石选择性溶蚀最终决定了储层差异性。从而解释了气藏勘探开发中遇到的诸多问题，对有效指导该区的下一步勘探开发工作具有重要意义。     

水平井流入控制阀控底水原理及影响因素分析

随着钻完井技术的发展，采用流入控制阀（ICD）完井技术开发底水油藏成为提高产量、降低成本的有效途径。弄清水平井ICD 控底水原理及影响因素成为利用其实现延缓底水锥进、提高油藏最终采收率的关键。在分析ICD 控水限流原理基础上，通过模拟计算，具体分析了流动剖面、环空流动、含水率等3 个影响控水效果的主要因素。分析结果表明：对于不具有高含水段的油藏，可以利用ICD 增大高渗段阻力，从而在牺牲总产液量的基础上降低产水，实现控水；ICD 所产生附加压降有效地减少了环空流动，增强了控水的稳定性，为实现长期稳油控水提供了保障；对储层物性参数分布认识出现偏差将会较大地影响ICD 的控水效果；对于存在高含水段的水平井，需要增大高含水段的附加压降，降低高含水段的产液量，才能有效实现控水。对水平井ICD 控底水原理及影响因素的分析结果为优化水平井ICD完井设计，控制底水锥进提供了技术思路。     

水基泡沫流变特性研究进展

水基泡沫在石油钻井、驱油及矿物浮选等方面应用广泛，但因其自身结构的复杂性及不稳定性，准确描述其流变性需要考虑液膜排液、气体扩散、泡沫质量、泡沫结构、可压缩性、壁面滑移、测量系统相对于气泡的尺寸、环境温度及压力等多方面因素，以致于目前尚无有关泡沫流变性的公认理论。实验研究过程中控制壁面滑移的较普遍做法是增加流道壁面（转子表面或管壁）的粗糙度，基于适当假设所提出的一些理论修正方法具有较好的适应性。体积平衡法假设泡沫管流摩擦系数为常量，在一定程度上解决了泡沫可压缩性给管流压降计算所带来的困难。目前普遍认为泡沫流变性可用幂律模式或赫谢尔–巴尔克莱模式很好地描述，是否存在“屈服应力”则因测试条件差异而存在争议。     

Social and feminist design in emergency contexts: the Women’s Social Architecture Project,Cox's Bazar,Bangladesh

ABSTRACT

The rapid influx of Rohingya refugees into Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, has led to the formation of huge camps, built on difficult terrain, short of space and with high population density. All these factors present numerous challenges to agencies seeking to provide latrines, water points, and bathing facilities. Feedback gathered from women and girls highlighted significant challenges around access, safety, privacy, and dignity, including management of personal hygiene and menstruation. Within the humanitarian community, site planning and WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) infrastructure planning/design processes have mainly been dominated by male architects and engineers, often with gendered assumptions about the user. Acknowledging these challenges, Oxfam implemented the Women’s Social Architecture Project to work with women and adolescent girls, and female architects with a background or interest in social or feminist design and architecture, to add a different perspective into the design and siting of WASH facilities. The project has consisted of formative research with Rohingya women and girls, and design workshops with architects in which Rohingya women have co-created designs that tackle the issues they face regarding WASH facilities. This article provides an account of the progress to date, together with feedback from women and girls and the WASH Sector in Cox's Bazar ahead of the final completion of the project in June 2019.     

语义场理论对科技术语翻译的启示从——“水资源管理”一词的英汉互译谈起

科技术语在不同语言之间的翻译是一个复杂的语义匹配过程，如何在考虑相关术语使用现状的基础上将新产生的科技术语准确翻译为其它语言是科技工作者和术语研究者关注的重要问题。以语义场理论为分析框架，通过分析以"水资源管理"及其相关术语为代表的英汉互译，结果发现：不同科技术语在同一语义场所涵盖的语义范围将会随着相关研究深化带来的术语界定细化而发生相应的动态变化；新兴科技术语的翻译要充分考虑其所在语义场其它相关科技术语的翻译先例和使用现状所带来的影响，在翻译准确性和解读便利性之间做出适当的平衡。这是造成"水资源管理"及相关术语英汉互译处理极为复杂的重要原因之一，需要科技翻译者在工作实践中多加注意。     

回纹与共工

回形纹是古今中外装饰图案中非常流行的一种,最初应源于旋涡纹,具有延绵不断、亘古不变的含义。共工是中国古代的水官和传说中水患的祸首,其角色的转变应该和尧舜时期共工的名字康回有关。远古时期的水崇拜是回纹流行和中国关于共工的诸多传说出现的主要原因。     

公平合理利用原则在国际水法中的适用局限及其反思

作为国际水法的基本原则,公平合理利用原则具有条约法及习惯法的规范基础,并且可指导跨界水道的利用及水资源分配,但是其抽象性及模糊性降低了适用的确定性。公平合理利用原则适用的局限性主要表现为理论基础不成熟,概念难以统一明确,非排他性考虑因素多元但无优先次序等方面。对公平合理利用原则的反思要求充分尊重跨界水道的自然特性,遵从不造成重大损害原则及国际合作原则,厘清相关考虑因素的优先次序,推动建立水道国家的利益共识,从而实现流域国家对跨界水道的公平合理利用。 
