Four artificially produced radionuclides ( and ) have been analyzed in sediments and organisms from the marine environment. The samples were obtained from the vicinities of nuclear energy facilities, at sites of nuclear weapon tests and at sites remote from both of these locales. The activities of these nuclides per unit dry weight are remarkably similar at the first two of the above areas but are usually detectable only with difficulty, if at all, in the third area. Techniques for sample treatment and measurement are given. 相似文献

As shown by the examples in this paper, the concentrations in subsamples are not necessarily independently and normally distributed despite vigorous grinding and mixing of the original sample. Studies of the statistical properties of subsample concentrations should test for deviations from independence and normality and, if deviations are found, should model the observed distribution. The tests include an analysis of variance to check for less variation among nearby subsamples than among widely spaced subsamples, as well as the computation of the probability plot correlation coefficient to check for nonnormality. These tests are illustrated with measurements on subsamples prepared for use as standard reference materials. These materials are used in quality assurance for environmental radioactivity measurements. The material consisting of Human Liver (SRM 4352) exhibits dependence, which may be due to inadequate mixing or to later handling that caused segregation. The material consisting of Human Lung (SRM 4351) and the material consisting of soil from Rocky Flats (SRM 4353) exhibit nonnormality due to the particulate nature of some plutonium-bearing fractions of the material. The lung measurements are modeled with the gamma distribution. The soil measurements are modeled with a combination of the normal distribution and a distribution that models the occurrence of outliers. The use of these models to describe the subsamples involves assessment of the contribution of the measurement error. 相似文献

A method is described for calculating the probability that the percentage of alien biotypes is higher than a specified threshold (e.g., 5%) in a population in which a certain number of alien biotypes has been found preliminarily. The method is based on the Bayesian approach; it assumes that the researcher has preliminary (a priori) information on the frequency of these biotypes. This a priori information makes it possible to estimate the aforementioned probability more accurately than is possible with the use of the standard binomial estimation. The method is illustrated by the results of the estimation of cultivar purity in batches of stock and foundation seeds of spring barley with the use of protein markers.Translated from Ekologiya, No. 2, 2005, pp. 106–109.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Zhivotovsky, Pomortsev, Lyalina, Kalabushkin, Pukhalskii. 相似文献

Sensitivity to the pyrethroids deltamethrin and esfenvalerate (aqueous solution) and LC 50 have been determined in acute (96-h) toxicological tests on mayfly larvae ( Cloeon dipterum and Caenis miliaria), damselfly larvae ( Lestes sponsa and Cordulia aenea), and juveniles from a laboratory culture of Daphnia magna. Sensitivity to deltamethrin increases in the series C. aenea (Odonata) < D. magna (Cladocera) < L. sponsa (Odonata) < C. miliaria(Ephemeroptera) < C. dipterum (Ephemeroptera), and that to esfenvalerate, in the series C. aenea < D. magna < L. sponsa C. miliaria C. dipterum. The values of LC 50 about 0.01 g/l determined for mayfly larvae are below those known for various hydrobionts from the literature, indicating a very high sensitivity of these insects to pyrethroids. 相似文献

Recent Government announcements have implied that wind power will play a major part in providing energy for the UK (BBC 2007 BBC. 2007. Wind ‘could power all UK homes’ [online], British Broadcasting Corporation. Available from: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7135930.stm [Accessed 20 January 2008] [Google Scholar]). However, there is much concern that wind farms can have a significant impact on flying fauna (bats and birds) using the area, particularly at night. As part of an Environmental Impact Assessment, thorough appropriate surveys are necessary for quantifying and minimising any risk wind farms may cause flying fauna. Manual surveys that are commonly used are not always cost‐effective, efficient or practical. Remote systems based on motion detection are increasingly being used to monitor wildlife. Fast‐moving airborne targets such as aeroplanes can falsely trigger motion‐detection based remote systems. As birds and bats repetitively flap their wings, this oscillating motion can be used to distinguish them from other airborne targets. Time periods between wing oscillations are not always constant, and hence the motion is not periodic. A method to detect cyclic motion based on similarity matrices is proposed, and synthetic and real data are used. 相似文献

The forest ecosystem of the Orlovskoe Polese National Park has been studied in reference to the reintroduction of a rare species: the European bison ( Bison bonasus L.). Preliminary data characterizing the state of forest resources and the populations of ungulates living in the forests, as well as the genetic problems associated with maintaining a viable population of the European bison, are considered.Translated from Ekologiya, No. 2, 2005, pp. 132–137.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Belousova, Smirnov, Kazmin, Kudrjavtsev. 相似文献

Five assessments covering less-developed countries have identified a land balance, available for future cultivation, using the approach of inventory and difference: assessment of the area cultivable, and subtraction of the area presently cultivated. All arrive at a balance of 1600–1900Mha, about twice the present cultivated area. The supposed existence of this spare land is widely quoted in forecasts of capacity to meet the food requirements for future population increase. It is argued here that these estimates greatly exaggerate the land available, by over-estimating cultivable land, under-estimating present cultivation, and failing to take sufficient account of other essential uses for land. Personal observation suggests that the true remaining balance of cultivable land is very much smaller, in some regions virtually zero. An order-of-magnitude estimate reaches the conclusion that in a representative area with an estimated land balance of 50%, the realistic area is some 3–25% of the cultivable land. This speculation could be tested by directly attempting to find such land in areas where it is supposed to exist. The impression given by current estimates, that a reserve of spare land exists, is misleading to world leaders and policy-makers. 相似文献

When ecosystems are threatened or scientific knowledge of the effects of human action is uncertain, legislative prohibition is often adopted. This paper examines how the criminalization of mangrove tree use affects ecosystem management outcomes. We explore the biological, economic and social sustainability effects of the legal ban on mangrove use on the coast of Bragança, Pará, north Brazil. There are two main categories of mangrove users in this area: firstly, local subsistence users who also derive some financial incomes from mangrove sale. Their mangrove use is intertwined with household livelihood strategies and they display self-initiated planning and action towards sustainable management; secondly, more mobile, purely commercial users who are responsible for most commercial mangrove exploitation and who employ regionally sequential, predatory resource exploitation strategies. These users are typically based at some distance from the exploited areas and share neither local livelihood strategies nor sustainability agendas. The current outright ban on any utilization of mangrove flora seems to undermine biological sustainability, is economically inefficient and generates normative insecurity, conflict and social polarization. The ineffectiveness of the outright legal prohibition of mangrove tree use in terms of sustainable coastal management leads us to investigate alternative management options. We suggest that the legalization of local mangrove utilization and the strengthening of local users rights and responsibilities to control outsiders in a co-management framework, as proposed in the Brazilian extractive reserves (RESEX) approach, is most likely to advance ecologically, economically and socially sustainable mangrove management. It is demonstrated that a legal recognition of local entitlements to mangrove trees would reduce social vulnerability and therefore move forest management outcomes into more desirable directions. 相似文献

ZusammenfassungEin 4π-Flüssigkeits-“Ganzkörper”-Szintillationszähler, bestehend aus 2π-Detektrortanks wurde dazu verwendet, die mögliche Anwendung von Koinzidenzarbeitsweisen zur wirksamen Zählung von Positronenemittern in grossen Proben zu studieren. Zunächst wurde die Hintergrundemp-findlichkeit für die Koinzidenzform untersucht. Man beobachtete, dass ein ansehnlicher Teil des Hintergrundes von Impulsen in der Koinzidenz in beiden Detektortanks herrührte. Die Möglichkeit einer Unterdrückung des Hintergrundes durch Antikoinzidenzzählung wurde erforscht, aber dies stellte sich als unbrauchbar für eine Verbesserung der Zählstatistik zum Zählen gewöhnlicher Gammaemitter heraus. Wenn die Proben jedoch Positronenemitter wie 22Na and 58Co enthalten, so könnte der Hintergrund weitgehend unterdrückt und die Zählstatistik beträchtlich verbessert werden, wenn man Koinzidenzzählverfahren anwendet. Das Verfahren verminderte nicht nur den Hintergrund, sondern es diskriminierte auch gegenüber solchen Monogammaemittern wie 137Cs und 40K. Das Verfahren eignet sich somit zur Messung von Positronenemittern im Menschen, wo 137Cs und 40K als “Störhintergrund” zugegen sind. PDF (473 K)
