A proposed impact assessment method for genetically modified plants (AS-GMP Method)

An essential step in the development of products based on biotechnology is an assessment of their potential economic impacts and safety, including an evaluation of the potential impact of transgenic crops and practices related to their cultivation on the environment and human or animal health. The purpose of this paper is to provide an assessment method to evaluate the impact of biotechnologies that uses quantifiable parameters and allows a comparative analysis between conventional technology and technologies using GMOs. This paper introduces a method to perform an impact analysis associated with the commercial release and use of genetically modified plants, the Assessment System GMP Method. The assessment is performed through indicators that are arranged according to their dimension criterion likewise: environmental, economic, social, capability and institutional approach. To perform an accurate evaluation of the GMP specific indicators related to genetic modification are grouped in common fields: genetic insert features, GM plant features, gene flow, food/feed field, introduction of the GMP, unexpected occurrences and specific indicators. The novelty is the possibility to include specific parameters to the biotechnology under assessment. In this case by case analysis the factors of moderation and the indexes are parameterized to perform an available assessment.     

水中总氮快速测定实验方法研究

针对现行总氮标准测定方法存在的操作繁琐、耗时长等缺点,采用COD消解加热器消解代替原标准方法中的高温高压消解步骤,以简化实验步骤、缩短用时,建立快速测定水中总氮的分析方法.通过对本方法进行平行实验、加标回收实验以及与标准方法的对比实验等分析实验结果,方法的线性范围为0 ～ 4.00 mg/L,平均加标回收率是102.3％,标样平行实验的相对标准偏差是1.05％,准确度、精确度和回收率均达到标准要求,方法具有一定的推广价值.     

浊度仪法快速测定水体中硫酸盐含量

为了适应野外水质快速测定的要求,根据硫酸钡比浊法的方法原理,采用浊度仪测定浊度的方法,建立了水体中硫酸盐含量的快速测定方法。实验考察了浊度、氯化钡加入形态、摇动时间,静置时间等影响因素。结果表明,浊度在5～25 NTU时,其对硫酸盐的测定几乎没有影响。在实验最佳条件下,氯化钡的加入量为0.2 g,中速手摇40 s,静置时间5min,所建立方法的线性范围为5～90 mg/L,相关系数R2=0.9998,方法的检出限为0.25 mg/L。加标回收率为94.00%～105.25%,相对标准偏差(RSD)为0.19%～1.75%(n=5),方法便携、简单,适用于野外与浊度同步测定。     

快速渗滤土地处理法去除污水中挥发卤代烃的效率研究

本文就不同周期和布水率对快速渗滤系统中挥发性有机物去除率的影响进行了探讨。通过该法与六种常用的污水处理技术对挥发性卤代烃去除率的比较,表明快速渗滤土地处理法更为行之有效。     

污水快速渗滤处理系统对某些微量有机污染物的净化

利用室内大型土柱对ＲＩ系统中微量有机化合物氯仿,四氯化碳,三氯乙烯及苯,甲苯的净化过程进行了模拟研究,结果表明,系统对３种氯化脂肪烃具有很好的净化效果,其浓度可从２０００－６０００μｇ／Ｌ降至１００μｇ／Ｌ以下,系统对苯甲苯的净化则与淹水时间有关,淹水初期净化效果良好,其浓度可从进水时１０００－１７００μｇ／Ｌ降至１００μｇ／Ｌ以下,但随着淹水时间延续,净化效果变差,直至出水浓度与进水浓度基本相同     

Facilitating disaster preparedness through local radio broadcasting

The 2008 Disaster Mitigation Preparedness (DMP) study took place in Aceh province, Indonesia. It sought to help develop radio programmes and messages to increase resilience to disasters. The role of radio was evaluated during and after the 2004 Asian tsunami disaster. The study team interviewed 984 tsunami survivors from nine sub-districts of Banda Aceh, and local nongovernmental organisations convened eight focus groups around the area of Aceh Besar. Six key informant interviews were held with government disaster management agencies. The DMP survey is the first of its kind to interview a representative random sample of Banda Aceh residents. It reveals the importance of community and social networks, during disaster situations, when essential communications are down. A disaster warning information system based on a multi-media approach needs to be developed. The wider community should be involved in the planning, education and training of Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar residents to facilitate appropriate personal and community survival strategies.     

Participatory Approach for Rapid Assessment of Plant Diversity through a Folk Classification System in a Tropical Rainforest: Case Study in Xishuangbanna, China

Abstract:  Rural indigenous people are often very knowledgeable about plant and animal species, including their identification and ecology. The use of indigenous knowledge has increasingly attracted attention in scientific circles. The Dai people, a dominant nationality in southwestern Yunnan, China, have developed their own traditional plant classification system. In a case study in Xishuangbanna, we compared the differences in number of plant species identified between scientific and Dai folk classification. The Dai people identified more than 80% of the plant species, and the correspondence between folk and scientific plant species was 87.7%. Our results indicate that folk plant classification could be used in rapid assessment of plant species in certain regions. The use of folk systems of plant classification for rapid biodiversity assessment will contribute to conservation of both indigenous knowledge and regional biodiversity.

泥沙灾害和泥沙环境快速评估方法研究

泥沙灾害可以看作是泥沙环境突变或渐变积累到一定条件下发生变异时的表现形式,各类泥沙灾害和泥沙环境都具有不同的内涵和表现方面, 因此泥沙灾害和泥沙环境的评估应具有不同的对象。一旦研究的对象被确定,泥沙灾害的表现因子组合便可明确。类似地泥沙环境的环境变量和总体状况的指示怀变量也可确定。为了便于了解泥沙灾害和泥沙环境的关系,并提高评估效率,可将泥沙灾害和泥沙环境快速评估的参照组建立在能够包括影响二者表现特征的诸环境变量的最小图斑上,通过选取适当参照点,分类确定不同参照组,利用待评估地点孕灾环境因子（或环境变量）与不同参照组的相似分析。预测评估点的泥沙灾害和泥沙环境表现因子特征和动态过程.
