The tectonic stress field plays an important role in the research of crustal stability, fault activity and the geological disaster effect. On the basis of related geological data, ANSYS and FLAC3D are applied in this paper to set up a reasonable geological structure model and boundary conditions, aiming at making a numerical simulation analysis of tectonic stress field in the southeast of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. The result and the measured data fit better, which provides a reference for the further study of the project.

The biogeographic relations within eastern Australia and of this region to surrounding areas in New Guinea, West Malesia and the western Pacific are analysed using eight monophyletic groups of Sapindaceae. The results show that areas within eastern Australia are related (Cape York (Atherton Plateau + South East Queensland)), confirming similar results obtained by revious authors. The relationship between eastern Australia and surrounding areas is shown to be complex, involving both vicariance and dispersal events. There are at least two patterns connecting Australia to the West Pacific: an old vicariance (or dispersal) pattern involving the eastern end of the Inner Melanesian Arc and a more recent dispersal pattern via New Guinea involving the Outer Melanesian Arc. West Malesia is also probably connected to eastern Australia by numerous dispersal events via New Guinea. At least two patterns relate eastern Australia to New Guinea: an old vicariance pattern and a younger dispersal pattern from New Guinea back to Australia. These results are compared briefly with those obtained in earlier studies.
