高等水生植物修复双龙湖水体叶绿素a变化试验研究

重庆渝北双龙湖水体因长期受纳城市污水，近几年水体水质恶化并呈加重趋势，为治理修复该水体，进行了水面种植高等植物净化双龙湖富营养化水体的动态和静态试验研究。结果表明，试验植物风车草、蕹菜，芹菜对叶绿素a的降低率分别是17．64％、42．99％、38．05％，附着物与根系重量比（湿重％）是风车草：5．1－132．7、芹菜：100．0、蕹菜：48．3；三种植物对富营养化水体有较好的修复作用，对降低叶绿素a作用明显，对悬浮污染物有较好的吸附作用，其中风车草对修复营养化水体的作用应予重视。     

在香港提供消防与安全工程研究生教育的必要性分析

论述了在香港提供消防与安全工程研究生教育的必要性,为了培养高质量人才,消防与安全工程高等教育的科目应当包括消防工程学和安全工程学(如火灾动力学),用于建筑设计的计算机火灾模拟,消防工程系统,火灾安全管理立法因素,用于火灾安全管理的设计事项,建造的安全因素,职业安全和人类工程学,事故防范、危害评估和控制,安全管理系统和安全审核。而这些重要课程的质量提高都强烈依赖于相关研究的进展。     

Designing for interaction in research environments: A case study

Graduate researchers are an essential part of higher education (HE) in terms of its contribution to knowledge and the wider economy, but how the work environment influences behaviour and productivity in this work domain is poorly understood. Nevertheless, building programmes continue with a detectable trend towards more open office designs. Beyond issues of cost-efficiency, this reflects a popular belief in the significance of face-to-face interaction to research productivity. Using a combination of subjective and quantitative methods, this case study investigates the validity of this claim and how a redesigned environment impacts upon work practices and collaboration within a community of researchers. Although the new environment was judged favourably by occupants and managers, analysis suggests a less positive behavioural response. Contrary to expectation, we conclude that providing open plan environments is not sufficient to produce more collaborative practices in HE. We argue that this would require changes in the organisational structure, the reward structure for individual and team-driven tasks, and the firm policing of the management of change.     

Adolescents’ attitudes towards nature and environment: Quantifying the 2-MEV model

This study identifies clearly the need for refinement of instrumentation in this area of environmental studies. A questionnaire battery designed to measure the factors Utilization (U) and Preservation (P) in the field of adolescent environmental perception was administered to 467 German secondary school pupils. Maximum likelihood factor analysis yielded the two hypothesized orthogonal factors U and P; we labelled this scale the 2-MEV model, i.e. the 2 factor Model of Environmental Values (sets of related attitudes). These analyses provide a basis for the construction of a questionnaire specifically designed to measure U and P. Confirmation of this factor structure was examined by comparing the factors extracted from two independent pseudorandom subsamples selected from the original sample.     

Study abroad in support of education for sustainability: a New Zealand case study

This article presents a case study of an existing study abroad program to New Zealand interested in infusing sustainability themes into the curriculum. The review of the program is set in the context of United Nations Education for Sustainable Development goals and the role of sustainability in institutions of higher education. The author was an invited external observer and suggests that study abroad programs in support of sustainability education provide transformative learning experiences that invest in the well being of both people and places.

Predicting molybdenum toxicity to higher plants: Influence of soil properties

The effect of soil properties on the toxicity of molybdenum (Mo) to four plant species was investigated. Soil organic carbon or ammonium-oxalate extractable Fe oxides were found to be the best predictors of the 50% effective dose (ED₅₀) of Mo in different soils, explaining > 65% of the variance in ED₅₀ for four species except for ryegrass (26-38%). Molybdenum concentrations in soil solution and consequently plant uptake were increased when soil pH was artificially raised because sorption of Mo to amorphous oxides is greatly reduced at high pH. The addition of sulphate significantly decreased Mo uptake by oilseed rape. For risk assessment, we suggest that Mo toxicity values for plants should be normalised using soil amorphous iron oxide concentrations.
