Simulated Impacts of Climate Change on Current Farming Locations of Striped Catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus; Sauvage) in the Mekong Delta,Vietnam

In Vietnam, culturing striped catfish makes an important contribution to the Mekong Delta’s economy. Water level rise during rainy season and salt intrusion during dry season affect the water exchange and quality for this culture. Sea level rise as a consequence of climate change will worsen these influences. In this study, water level rise and salt water intrusion for three sea level rise (SLR) scenarios (i.e., +30, +50, and +75 cm) were simulated. The results showed that at SLR +50, the 3-m-flood level would spread downstream and threaten farms located in AnGiang, DongThap and CanTho provinces. Rising salinity levels for SLR +75 would reduce the window appropriate for the culture in SocTrang and BenTre provinces, and in TienGiang’s coastal districts. Next to increasing dikes to reduce the impacts, the most tenable and least disruptive option to the farming community would be to shift to a salinity tolerant strain of catfish.     

预氧化技术在油田污水处理中的应用研究

预氧化技术是随着油田污水处理的需要发展起来的一种新技术。预氧化的目的就是把二价铁离子转化为三价铁,并在后期通过添加化学药剂沉淀出来,从而提高水质稳定性,降低后续处理过程的结垢现象。目前采用的预氧化技术主要有两种:化学预氧化和电化学预氧化。详细介绍预氧化技术,并通过与传统工艺技术的对比总结了预氧化技术的特点;分析了两种预氧化技术的异同;并通过这两种技术在油田的实际应用情况对它们的应用水质、运行管理、加药情况等方面进行了对比研究,总结了两种技术的优缺点及适用水质,并对该技术以后的推广应用提出相应建议。     

1960年-2014年天山北麓气温和降水变化趋势及预测研究

利用天山北麓17个气象站点1960年-2014年的气温和降水资料,采用Morlet小波分析、R/S分析等,研究了天山北麓气温和降水的时间变化.结果表明,(1)天山北麓年平均气温和年降水量分别以0.035℃/a和0.881 mm/a的倾向率呈上升趋势;季节变化明显;(2)年平均气温和年降水量有明显的周期性,年平均气温在55 a尺度内存在13 a的强显著周期,年降水量在55 a尺度内存在8 a的强显著周期.(3)未来一段时间内,天山北麓气温和降水均呈上升趋势,且与过去的变化趋势持续性较强.

区域农业持续性与持续发展研究

景观生态学属于宏观尺度生态空间研究范畴，它的理论核心集中表现为空间异质性和生态整体性两方面。持续性，包括农业景观持续性的最终目标在于人类与其环境的整体协调，即广义的人类生态整体性。持续性研究涉及广阔的地域空间，其目标的实现则有赖于空间途径。这一认识是将景观生态学应用于持续农业发展的理论出发点。     

Mobility of heavy metals associated with the natural weathering of coal mine spoils

Knowledge of chemical mobility of heavy metals is fundamental to understanding their toxicity, bioavailability, and geochemical behavior. In this paper, two different methods, i.e. mineralogical means and sequential extractions, were employed to analyze the total contents, existing states, and chemical forms of heavy metals in coal mine spoils. The results demonstrate that the mobility of heavy metals in coal mine spoils depends not only on their existing states and the stability of their host minerals but also on the properties of the coal mine spoils. In the process of coal mine spoils-water interaction, sulfides that contain heavy metals first break down and release metals, which are then adsorbed and complexed by the iron oxyhydroxide colloid resulting from pyrite oxidization and organic matter. During the natural weathering of coal mine spoils, only a small fraction of these metals are released to the environment, and most of them still remains in the residual material.     

磁黄铁矿氧化机理及酸性矿山废水防治的研究进展

磁黄铁矿是矿山尾矿堆中最为常见且分布很广的一种硫化铁矿物.由于硫化物矿物氧化后不仅产生酸性废水,还会释放出大量可溶的、生物可利用形态的微量金属,并且酸性环境会进一步增强这些有毒金属的移动性,因此是造成矿山周围水体环境污染的罪魁祸首.为了阻止或降低磁黄铁矿的自然风化反应速度从而达到源头治理酸性矿山废水的目的,首先必须研究它在各种条件下的氧化机理、氧化产物和氧化速度.对近年来国外在磁黄铁矿晶体结构、反应活性以及酸性矿山废水的产生与防治等方面的研究进行了综述.     

17α-Ethinylestradiol in Lakes of Hanoi and its effect on seed germination

Abstract

The lakes of Hanoi are important water resources for urban agriculture. The concentrations of 17α-ethinylestradiol in the water of three major lakes were found to range from 0.1 to 9.1?ng/L, peaking during the rainy season. Effects at levels from 1?ng/L to 1?µg/L on the germination of mung bean (Vigna radiata) and bok choy (Brassica rapa) were studied. Soaking the seeds in solutions containing 17α-ethinylestradiol at 10?ng/L and higher increased the germination rate of mung bean but not of bok choy. For the latter, irrigation after sowing with solutions containing 17α-ethinylestradiol at 10?ng/L and higher accelerated germination.

Fuel substitution in sub-Saharan Africa

Deforestation and decline in agricultural productivity are major concerns over large parts of sub-Saharan Africa. One of the principal causes for both these phenomena is the export of woodfuels from rural agroecosystems to urban markets. This process is noteworthy because of the size of the trade. Wood fuels (fuelwood, charcoal, and agricultural residues) constitute the most important source of energy in these countries, varying from 60% to 95% of total energy consumption. In terms of the environmental impact of the fuelwood trade, solutions typically considered are the introduction of improved cookstoves, fuelwood plantations, and fuel substitution by conventional fuels. This article examines the structure of the fuelwood problem, reviews the successes and failures of past experiences, and focuses on the potential for fuel substitution as an option to reduce the urban demand for fuelwood.
