The impact of monetary liquidity on Chinese aluminum prices

By expanding Frankel and Rose's (2009) theoretical model to consider the interaction of commodity prices with both money liquidity and expectation formation, this paper empirically studies the long-run relationship and short-term dynamics between aluminum prices and money liquidity via Vector autoregressive (VAR) and Impulse Response Function methodologies. Our results show that: (1) a cointegration relationship between money liquidity and Chinese aluminum prices exists, and monetary liquidity positively significantly influences the price over long periods; (2) a structural change has been found during the 2008 Financial Crisis and the change of Chinese monetary policies; and (3) the negative impact of production capacity mechanism on aluminum prices coexists with the positive impact of financial asset returns mechanism, to allow for varied market expectations on aluminum prices within and outside China.     

An ecosystem approach to analyse the livelihood of fishers of the Old Brahmaputra River in Mymensingh region,Bangladesh

This paper applies an ecosystem approach to analyse the livelihood of fishers dependent on the Old Brahmaputra River in Mymensingh, Bangladesh. Results suggest that the livelihood of fishers is increasingly threatened because of the fragile river ecosystem and poor livelihood assets. Most fishers face a wide range of vulnerability including shocks, trends and seasonality. This is because the ecosystem of the resource base on which their livelihood depends (i.e. the Old Brahmaputra River) has been degraded severely resulting in a significant decline in fish catch due to a combination of factors, such as over-fishing, use of destructive fishing gears, water pollution, siltation, rapid urbanisation and environmental degradation. We propose an adoption of the socio-ecological system with active community participation in the management of the resource base and collaboration amongst key stakeholders to produce positive livelihood outcomes for the fishers.     

染料废水的X射线粉末衍射分析

染料生产过程的废水，其中含有致癌，致畸的有毒物质，通常需经生化处理后才排放，但生化处理并不能使其毒性消除骀尽，所以对处理后排放废水的进一步分析是当今环保分析中的一个重要课题，分光光度法，高压液相色谱及色－质联用仪是作微量分析的常用方法，但难以分析难挥发物和悬浮物，我们尝试用Ｘ射线粉末衍射分析法对分离废水得到的固态难挥发物作了分析，证明此法准确，快捷，可推广，但对胶状物或含量过低的物质则不适用。     

Investigation and Long-Term Monitoring of Phragmites australis Within Virginia's Constructed Wetland Sites

Phragmites australis Trin., and/or aggressive species, Typha spp. Tidally influenced wetlands that have subtidal perimeter ditches have significantly less (P < 0.05) P. australis in the wetland interior than those without perimeter ditches. Fractured regression analyses show that 6 years after construction, P. australis invasion can be extensive. Linear regression analysis suggests that, if conditions remain favorable for P. australis colonization, constructed wetlands could be overrun in 40 years.

劳动环境与安全

劳动环境，对劳动者的生理、心理产生着直接影响。而一些企业发生了工伤事故，往往却强调操作者的责任，很少从劳动场所的噪音、空间、空气、照明、尘埃等劳动环境去作综合评价考虑。恰好正是这些环境因素，像一只无形的手，支配和干扰着人们的思想、情绪和行为。

对硝基苯胺－H酸分光光度法测定水中亚硝酸盐

为提高光度法测定水中亚硝酸盐的分析灵敏度，利用亚硝酸离子在盐酸介质中与对硝基苯胺发生重氮化反应，然后在碱性介质中与Ｈ酸偶联，生成紫红色偶氮化合物。对实验条件进行了试验，提出了污染水中亚硝酸盐的测定方法，其最大吸收波长λｍａｘ＝５７４ｎｍ，摩尔吸光系数ε５７４＝４．８×１０４。此方法简便、快速、选择性好，灵敏度高，测定结果可靠。
