Vocal acrobatics in a Chinese frog, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Amolops tormotus</Emphasis>

Although amphibians are highly vocal, they generally emit only a limited number of acoustic communication signals. We report here the extraordinarily rich vocal repertoire of Amolops tormotus, a ranid species in China. These frogs produce countless vocalizations, some of which share features of birdsong or primate calls, e.g., ultrasonic frequency components, multiple upward and downward FM sweeps, and sudden onset and offset of selective harmonic components within a call note. Frame-by-frame video analysis of the frog's calling behavior suggests the presence of two pairs of vocal sacs that may contribute to the remarkable call-note complexity in this species.

Inventory of emissions from major air pollutant categories in Turkey

In this study, an inventory of air pollutant emission estimates from major air polluting sources in Turkey for period between 1985 and 2005 with 5-year intervals were estimated. Inventory covers anthropogenic sources of five major air pollutants of particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and non-methane volatile organic compounds. Their break-down with respect to main activity sectors were shown and their distribution by the largest industrial source categories were worked out as annual estimates. This inventory and its analysis point to serious environmental implications of air pollutants and a need to develop a policy plan for reducing these emissions.     

含硫化合物的气相色谱检测响应特性研究

利用气相色谱（配炎焰光度检测器）对二硫化碳（ＣＳ２）、甲硫醇（ＣＨ３ＣＨ）、甲硫醚（ＤＭＳ）和二甲二硫醚（ＤＭＤＳ）４种含硫物质进行了分析检测，着重讨论了气相色谱仪的各项参数对几种含硫物质响应和分离效果的影响。结果表明：该分析对含硫气体的最小检测浓度达到ｐｐｂ级。在各项参数中，色谱柱温度在Ｎ２压力对各含硫物质响应和分离度影响最大，汽化室和检测器温度及空气压力对它们的影响相对较小。     

秦岭若干重要类型金矿床(体)快速定位预测

本文以西部秦岭地区八卦庙、双王、煎茶岭 3种重要类型金矿床为例 ,在成矿地质背景研究基础上 ,开展若干新方法新技术的找矿试验 ,研究发现 ,八卦庙式金矿岩石的烃含量与其金品位大致成正相关关系 ;而且金矿化强度和规模越大 ,相关系数值也越大 ;据此根据石英脉的烃含量对隐伏金矿床 (体 )和金矿化规模进行预测。双王式金矿原生晕的前缘晕元素为B、As、Sb、Hg,近矿晕元素为Au、Ba(-) ,尾晕元素为Mn、Bi。通过原生叠加晕垂向研究预测 ,双王和八卦庙金矿床现有的金矿体向下延伸还较大 ,在矿床的深部存在有盲矿体。煎茶岭式金矿的矿石铅同位素平均值比围岩要小 ,铅同位素曲线的低峰区往往就指示矿体所在 ;预测区的2 0 6Pb/ 2 0 4 Pb、2 0 8Pb/ 2 0 4 Pb比值变差椭圆图的形状和轴向斜率与已知矿区趋于一致 ,并且两者的变差椭圆图形大部分重叠 ,说明存在有同类型金矿体。以上研究成果为同期或后来的勘探工作或矿山采矿所验证。     

Practical environmental monitoring of major construction projects

Independent teams undertook environmental monitoring of particular concentrations of major construction projects forming part of Hong Kong’s U.S. $20 billion airport infrastructure programme located in dense urban areas. The team combination of environmental specialists with experienced civil engineers enabled pragmatic mitigation measures to be developed and accepted by the construction personnel with the result that potentially significant adverse impacts were averted. The authors discuss the mechanism and success of this innovative approach.     

农业环境污染问题的经济学分析

在经济体制改革不断深入和经济高速增长的今天,农业作为中国的基础产业部门也经历着一场巨大的变革--逐步由传统农业向现代农业转变,然而在这一进程中所出现的农业生态环境问题却引起了人们的普遍关注.一方面,社会经济的高速增长和人民生活水平的提高,使得人们愈加向往良好的生态环境;另一方面,支持农业生态系统的环境正在以前所未有的速度恶化.文章正是着眼于当前中国农业环境问题,先列举了农业环境污染的现状,接着对农业环境污染问题从经济学的角度进行分析,并在此基础上探讨了排污税的利弊.     

兰州城市主要大气污染治理方案和环境效益

根据兰州市经济技术条件，提出多种大气污染治理工程方案。用数值模式计算分析了这些单项方案和综合方案可减少的大气污染物排放量和空气质量改善程度，推荐了当前可行的投资低、环境效益好的优化综合方案，该综合方案可使兰州市区空气中SO2浓度下降24.6%-75.4%，TSP降10.4%-45.4%；降少数网格点外，SO2浓度都不出现超标。     

TVS／TFS去除率在ATAD污泥稳定评价的应用

在ATAD(Autothermal Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion,自升温高温好氧消化)工艺污泥稳定评价中引入TFS．提出“TVS/ TFS去除率”的概念,得出“TVS/TFS去除率”可以代替“VS(g)去除率”而成为一种新的污泥稳定指标的结论;采用数学微分的方法分析了“TVS/TFS去除率”和“VS(g)去除率”的数据误差问题,进泥TS为60g/L,TVS/TS为56％的运行条件下,前者的最大数据误差仅为3．16％,远小于后者的误差最大值15．45％,即引入TFS解决了“VS(g)去除率”数据波动大的问题;TFS的引入还节约了污泥稳定研究所需的时间和工作量。
