Rain‐washing of mimic®, RH‐5992, from balsam fir foliage following application of two formulations

Abstract

Two formulation concentrates of the insecticide, RH‐5992 [N'‐t‐butyl‐N'‐(3,5‐dimethylbenzoyl)‐N‐(4‐ethylbenzoyI) hydrazine], an aqueous flowable (2F) and an emulsion‐suspension (ES), were diluted with water to provide spray mixes containing dosage rates ranging from 35 to 150 g of the active ingredient (AI)/ha. The mixes were sprayed in a laboratory chamber, onto balsam fir branch tips collected from field trees and greenhouse‐grown seedlings. Droplet spectra and spray mass recovery were determined on artificial samplers. Simulated rainfall of two different intensities was applied at different rain‐free periods, and rain droplet sizes were determined. Foliar washoff of RH‐5992 was assessed after application of different amounts of rain, and the increase in soil residues was evaluated.

A direct relationship was indicated between the amount of rainfall and RH‐5992 washoff. The larger the rain droplet size, the greater the amount washed off. Longer rain‐free periods made the deposits more resistant to rain. Regardless of the amount of rainfall, rain droplet size and rain‐free period, foliar deposits of the 2F formulation were washed off to a greater extent than the ES formulation. The increase in soil residues due to foliar washoff was greater for the 2F than for the ES formulation. The deposits of the emulsion‐suspension were consistently more resistant to rain‐washing than those of the aqueous flowable formulation.     

Integrating urban ecosystem sustainability assessment into policy-making: insights from the Gold Coast City

This paper introduces a policy-making support tool called ‘Micro-level Urban-ecosystem Sustainability IndeX (MUSIX)’. The index serves as a sustainability assessment model that monitors six aspects of urban ecosystems – hydrology, ecology, pollution, location, design, and efficiency – based on parcel-scale indicators. This index is applied in a case study investigation in the Gold Coast City, Queensland, Australia. The outcomes reveal that there are major environmental problems caused by increased impervious surfaces from growing urban development in the study area. The findings suggest that increased impervious surfaces are linked to increased surface runoff, car dependency, transport-related pollution, poor public transport accessibility, and unsustainable built environment. This paper presents how the MUSIX outputs can be used to guide policy-making through the evaluation of existing policies.

甘肃小西弓金矿床成矿物质来源和含矿流体运移轨迹同位素示踪

小西弓矿床是北山地区最重要的金矿床。金矿化在中元古代糜棱岩化绿片岩和长英片岩中呈脉状或蚀变岩团块产出,并且同海西期花岗岩类侵入岩体具密切时空联系。详细的硫、氧、氢和铅同位素研究结果表明,金矿床成矿物质和含矿流体主要来自海西期花岗岩类侵入岩、中元古代变质岩地层与大气降水。晚古生代时期,哈萨克斯坦—北山与塔里木板块沿柳园—大奇山深大断裂发生碰撞与地体拼贴,其中挤压与伸展转换期的构造变形作用不仅致使前海西期岩体(层)发生深熔,形成花岗质熔浆,而且诱发含矿流体向低温与低压构造破碎带运移,进而形成小西弓金矿床。

湘西南脉型金矿的地质特征及其矿床成因

湘西南是湖南重要的产金区,该区金矿以脉型金矿为主。按其成矿元素组合,该区脉型金矿可划分为单金石英脉型和金-锑石英脉型;按其矿体产出形态特征,可划分为顺层式和切层式脉型金矿两种。该区脉型金矿受地层、岩性和构造控制明显,矿物组合简单,金主要以自然金形式产出。该区脉型金矿形成主要与脆、韧性剪切作用有关,雪峰山一带加里东期的剪切作用,使该区的浅变质岩发生变形,并促使地层中的成矿物质发生活化、迁移,最终富集形成金矿床,因此,该区金矿的成因类型为与剪切带有关的中低温热液金矿床。
