Wang) bCollaborative Innovation Center of Water Resources Efficient Utilization and Support Engineering, Henan Province 450046, China cHenan Key Laboratory of Water Environment Simulation and Treatment, Henan Province 450046, China Received 7 November 2017; Accepted 4 February 2018 abstract Water is one of the essential resources to production and living. Agriculture, industry, and living are considered as the direct water consumption. This paper employs the concept of marginal product value to estimate the water consumption marginal benefits in Henan Province. We use data on agri- cultural water consumption, industrial water consumption, and domestic water consumption of 18 cities in Henan Province surveyed from 2006 to 2013 and considered the Cobb–Douglas production function. The results showed that, during the study period, except for the marginal benefit of agricul- ture in high developed area, the industrial and domestic water use increased, and the industrial and domestic water use benefits were much higher than agricultural. At the same time, the benefit of the developed area was higher than the developing area. The benefits of agricultural water consumption and industrial water consumption in high developed area have made great improvements gradually, while benefits in low developed area have made small changes; but the benefits of domestic water con- sumption presented the opposite trend.

  • Chemical Composition Characteristics of PM2.5 in Three Cities in Henan, Central China
    Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 17: 2367–2380, 2017 Copyright © Taiwan Association for Aerosol Research ISSN: 1680-8584 print / 2071-1409 online doi: 10.4209/aaqr.2016.10.0463 Chemical Composition Characteristics of PM2.5 in Three Cities in Henan, Central China Nan Jiang, Yue Guo, Qun Wang, Panru Kang, Ruiqin Zhang*, Xiaoyan Tang Research Institute of Environmental Science, College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou 450001, China ABSTRACT The sites of Luoyang, Zhengzhou, and Pingdingshan in Henan, China were selected to investigate the chemical compositions of fine particulate matter (PM2.5). A total of 165 PM2.5 samples from the three sites were collected from October 2014 to July 2015. Water-soluble inorganic ions, elemental carbon and organic carbon, and other elements in PM2.5 were analyzed by ion chromatography, carbon analyzer, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, respectively. Results showed that the annual average concentrations of PM2.5 in the three sites were significantly higher than the Chinese national ambient air quality standard. The seasonal average of PM2.5 concentration varied with the lowest 2– + concentrations of PM2.5 in summer. Among these sites, the highest concentrations of SO4 and NH4 ions were observed in – 2– – + Luoyang with the highest concentration of NO3 detected in Zhengzhou. SO4 , NO3 and NH4 ions occurred as (NH4)2SO4 and NH4NO3. For seasonal variation, the highest concentrations for Al, Fe and Ca were observed during spring in Pingdingshan and autumn in Zhengzhou and Luoyang, respectively. Enrichment factor (EF), as an indicator, is commonly used to evaluate the contribution of anthropogenic sources, and high EFs of Zn, Cu, and Cd in PM2.5 indicate the extent of air pollution, which is generally caused by emissions of vehicles and industries.

  • The Study of Size-Grade of Prehistoric Settlement in the Circum-Songshan Area Based on SOFM Network
    J. Geogr. Sci. 2013, 23(3): 538-548 DOI: 10.1007/s11442-013-1027-5 © 2013 Science Press Springer-Verlag The study of size-grade of prehistoric settlement in the Circum-Songshan area based on SOFM network LU Peng1,2, TIAN Yan2, *YANG Ruixia3 1. College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China; 2. Institute of Geography, Henan Academy of Sciences, Zhengzhou 450052, China; 3. Center for Earth Observation and Digital Earth, CAS, Beijing 10009, China Abstract: Choosing site area, cultural layer thickness, significant relics and significant re- mains as the variables, we applied cluster analysis to the ancient settlements of four cultural periods, respectively, which were Peiligang, Yangshao, Longshan and Xiashang, in 9000–3000 a BP, around Songshan Mountain. Through application of the SOFM (self-organizing feature map) networks, every type of ancient settlements was classified into different size-grades. By this means, the Peiligang settlements were divided into two grades, Yangshao and Longshan settlements were divided into three grades, respectively, and Xi- ashang settlements were divided into four grades. The results suggested that the size-grade diversity of ancient settlements was not significant during the Peiligang period in this area. Around the middle–late Yangshao period (5000 a BP), the size-grade diversity of ancient settlements began to appear, a process that continued during the Longshan period and finally matured in the Xiashang period. Moreover, the results reflected the regional differences in cultural characteristics in a particular period, which were mainly represented in that there were three Peiligang cultural systems distributed in different areas. Such differences also existed in the spatial distributive characteristics between the Xia and Shang cultures.
