城市住宅小区的环境保护分析--以常州市为例

住宅小区是体现城市可持续发展、实施生态城市建设的重要领域。量化分析表明:常州市住宅小区环境保护的综合水平一般,但新建小区在环境质量和环境建设方面有明显进步,景观建设的水平较好,绿化质量有待提高,选址对小区的环境质量有实质性的影响,城市规划应强化生活功能分区并优化配置资源,小区建设中循环经济的理念薄弱,是小区建设的软肋,节能、节水、垃圾分类收集的水平还很低,小区居民绿色生活的水平也不高。今后,小区循环经济建设和居民绿色生活培养应是重点关注和实践的领域。

日本处理城市生活垃圾的做法及启示

随着我国城市化进程的加快，城市生活垃圾的排出量急剧增加，造成环境污染问题日益严重。垃圾不但影响城市景观，传播疾病，而且还破坏环境，浪费资源。本文通过介绍日本处理城市生活垃圾的做法和效果，比较我国处理城市生活垃圾的现状，提出我国应发挥政府职能作用，加强对国民的环保宣传和教育，建立垃圾分类制度、细化标准，创新垃圾回收处理技术，鼓励和扶持垃圾回收产业体系等建议。     

造纸污泥热解特性及动力学研究

为了解污泥在氮气氛围下的热解特性,利用热重分析仪对造纸污泥进行了实验研究。实验发现,在10℃/min和20℃/min的升温速率下,污泥热解过程都经历了三个阶段的失重。实验还发现污泥与煤混合物的热解速率在固定碳燃尽阶段与单独污泥热解相比较得到了较大的提高。并根据对热重曲线的分析,得到污泥的反应动力学参数:频率因子和活化能。     

Time as a constraint on group size in spider monkeys

An animal can only survive in a given habitat if it has enough time to find, process and digest food whilst avoiding predation. The time it has for food acquisition is affected by the vegetation and competition with conspecifics, which depends on aggregation tendencies. We used the relationships between time allocations, on the one hand, and climatic variables (as a proxy for habitat quality) and group size, on the other, to develop a model that predicts maximum ecologically tolerable group size at different locations for spider monkeys. Spider monkeys are particularly interesting because the social communities often split up into small units. Temperature variation and rainfall variation were the main determinants of time budgets. Community size and average annual rainfall determined party size. The model correctly predicted presence or absence of spider monkeys at 78–83% of 217 New World forest sites. Within the geographical range of the species, this time budget model predicted the presence of spider monkeys better than a model based directly on climate variables. Predicted community and party sizes were significantly larger at sites where spider monkeys are present than at sites where they are absent. As required by the model, predicted maximum community sizes were significantly larger than observed community sizes. Moving time showed a U-shaped relationship with party size, which suggests that moving time is the factor that keeps spider monkey communities from travelling together in a tight group.     

Effects of kinship on territorial conflicts among groups of lions,<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Panthera leo</Emphasis>

Inclusive fitness theory predicts that cost of tolerant behaviour during competitive interactions is lower for relatives than for nonrelatives. Many studies have examined the effect of relatedness on behaviour within social groups. In contrast, kin selection acting among groups has received less attention. The genetic structure of African lion (Panthera leo) populations creates a strong possibility that kin selection among groups modifies behaviour during group conflicts. We used playback experiments and genetic data to investigate the importance of relatedness during simulated territorial disputes in lions. However, we found no effect of relatedness on territorial behaviour. Degree of relatedness did not affect the decision to approach simulated intrusions, nor did it affect the behaviour during approaches. The decision to approach was instead affected by position within the territory and consecutive playback number (a measure of habituation). For playbacks that did elicit an approach, the speed of response was not detectably affected by relatedness, but was affected by odds (the ratio of residents to intruders), number of intruders, number of bouts, presence of cubs, position within the territory, temperature and playback number. Although responses were unaffected by relatedness, it remains possible that other aspects of behaviour during natural encounters among prides are affected by kin selection.Communicated by L.

Vibrational signals in a gregarious sawfly larva (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Perga affinis</Emphasis>): group coordination or competitive signaling?

Group living confers both benefits and costs to the individuals involved. Benefits may include enhanced defense, thermoregulation, and increased foraging efficiency while costs often involve competition for resources such as food, shelter, and mates. Communication provides a medium of exchange among individuals engaged in either cooperative or competitive interactions. The functional analysis of signals within groups therefore requires testing both cooperative and competitive functions, although the latter is infrequently done. In this paper, I study the use of two vibrational signals in a gregarious, processionary Australian sawfly larva, Perga affinis: tapping and contractions. Tapping involves striking the substrate with the sclerotized portion of the abdominal tail and a contraction is a fast, whole-body twitch, which is both tactile and vibrational in its transmission. For tapping, I first demonstrate that it is a form of communication, as tapping of one larva elicits tapping in another, and that it is transmitted through substrate vibrations. I then test whether the signal is mostly cooperative or competitive in nature by examining it in light of two hypotheses: (1) the Group Coordination hypothesis, stating that the signal functions to maintain group cohesiveness and (2) the Competitive Signaling hypothesis, stating that tapping serves as a competitive assessment signal between larvae while feeding. For contractions, I test only the group coordination hypothesis that they serve to coordinate and initiate group movement. Results support the group coordination hypothesis for each signal. While feeding, lone larvae (without potential competitors) were significantly more likely to tap than those in groups, and this trend continued in non-feeding situations. Contractions regularly preceded periods of group movement during processions and were given with increasing frequency before departure from preforaging clusters. The vibrational signals in this processionary species likely function cooperatively to maintain group cohesiveness and coordinate movement.
