Vegetation monitoring in South-Varanger, Norway – species composition of ground vegetation and its relation to environmental variables and pollution impact

The area along the Norwegian-Russian border is threatened by air pollution from emission sources on the Kola Peninsula. A permanent network of 78 systematically chosen monitoring sites has been established in eastern Finnmark, Norway. Species abundance data from the ground vegetation have been recorded from 1320 systematically chosen permanent plots inside 66 of these sites, using frequency in subplots and visual estimates of percentage cover. Environmental variables were obtained for the whole site. Multivariate data analysis has been used to describe the variation in the species composition and to study its relation to environmental variables and pollution impact. The analyses show that much of the variation in the species composition, based on average species abundance at the sites, is well explained by different soil and climatic conditions. However, estimated SO₂ deposition, Ni, and Cu in the soil, and Ni in Cladina tissue have also been found to be statistically significantly correlated with the variation in the species data, but they explain only a minor part of the variation. The pollution impact over several years may have lead to a reduced lichen cover in the bottom-layer vegetation. Further development in an either negative or positive direction can be detected by re-investigations of the monitoring sites.     

盐泥吸附剂对直接染料的平衡吸附行为和热力学性质研究

以染料废水处理用盐泥吸附剂的开发为目的,在静态吸附条件下,研究了含镁盐泥对直接大红、直接深蓝和直接黑3种直接染料的吸附行为,并对吸附过程的热力学进行了分析。结果表明,吸附平衡数据都能够较好地符合Langmuir和Freundlich吸附等温方程,但Langmuir方程能够更好地描述吸附等温线。在25～30℃范围内,3种直接染料在盐泥上的吸附是一个吸热过程,同时伴随着熵值的增加,反应的吉布斯自由能变小。吸附是物理和化学吸附并存的吸附过程,主要推动力为化学键力（化学吸附）,同时可能存在范德华力（物理吸附）,吸附焓变在74120～87332 kJ/mol之间。     

国家储备物资的属性功能及其作用价值

从全球化、国情和宏观经济运行的现代视角对国家储备物资的实质属性及其功能特征进行深入和系统分析的基础上,揭示了国家储备物资在国家发展、社会稳定和经济建设等方面的必要性及其投入使用的作用原理,对国家储备物资参与国家经济、安全和社会生活的现代价值及其意义进行了研究。研究证明,在应对突发性事件或不确定因素所造成的巨灾和风险时,国家储备物资因其属性功能而不仅具有比较优势,更具有绝对优势;它们的投入和使用对国家政治和经济的稳定,保证民生和国家安全等方面,可以发挥刚性作用与弹性作用。这种功能性的优势及其作用是市场机制不具备的效能,是社会其他资源或力量无法替代的,在经济全球化和现代化发展中,它们是国家实力与核心竞争力的重要成分。     

Identification and Classification of Key Variables and their Role in Environmental Impact Assessment: Methodology and Software Package Intra

There is, as yet, no proven methodology to enable, objectively,the identification of key parameters out of a large number one normally encounters during any EIA. As EIA is a costly and time-consuming exercise, it is necessary to separate the man from the boys – so to speak – in order to optimize costs andefforts.In this paper a methodology for distinguishing the moreimportant parameters from the less important ones, developed byus, is described. The methodology aims at identifying andshortlisting the key parameters which ought to be studied in agiven EIA situation, thereby helping in reducing time, effort,and cost of EIA. With this methodology a system structure is developed whichgives hierarchical pattern of inter-parameter interaction, andreveals several distinguishing features of each parameter. Asoftware package INTRA (INTer-parameter Relationship Analysis)based on this methodology, has been developed. The paper alsodescribes a case study in which INTRA has been used to study theenvironmental impacts of urbanization of a typical third worldtown (Roorkee).     

差减法和直接法对水中总有机碳测定结果比较

为了比较差减法和直接法对水中总有机碳测定结果,分别配制差减法和直接法的工作曲线,并分别通过差减法和直接法对不同水体中的总有机碳含量进行测定。比较测定结果,发现差减法和直接法对较清洁水体样品的TOC测定结果误差不大,而对废水样品的TOC测定结果误差较大。     

利用加速器质谱仪进行快速~(129)I检测的方法研究

加速器质谱法是~(129)I最灵敏的检测方法。传统方法分析样品时通常需要复杂的化学制样流程,对样品中碘元素进行分离、富集和纯化,测试周期较长,成本高。在核应急分析等类型的应用研究中,需要对大批量样品中的~(129)I含量开展快速检测,针对此类应用需求特点,本研究尝试开发一种快速、流程简便并且成本低廉的~(129)I-AMS检测方法。以三种已知~(129)I水平的国际标准物质作为研究样品,将干燥和研磨均匀化的样品粉末直接与加入过本底碘的电热导体介质(Nb粉末)混合后压入靶座,实现快速制靶,进行加速器质谱测量,再结合制靶时称量的相关质量关系数据就能直接计算得出原始样品中的~(129)I活度。通过对测量数据与已知值进行比较分析验证了方法的可靠性,估算方法的探测下限可达0.15μBq?g~(-1)。
