北太平洋地区春季粉尘的空间分布特征——观测及模拟

通过对2001年4月的一次中亚强沙尘暴过程的观测事实分析和数值模拟,结果表明,源自中亚的强沙尘暴扬起的粉尘,通过西风急流远程传输到韩国、日本、北太平洋、北美大陆.北太平洋地区的沙尘沉积通量空间分布将主要取决于3个方面:沙尘沉积通量随传输距离的增加呈指数衰减;传输路径上粉尘有较高的沉降通量;沙尘过境时的降水空间格局将在很大程度上决定粉尘的沉降空间格局.

Improvement of the antifouling characteristics in a bioreactor of polypropylene microporous membrane by the adsorption of Tween 20

Surface modification by physical adsorption of Tween 20 was accomplished on polypropylene microporous membranes (PPMMs). Attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR/FT-IR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to characterize the chemical and morphological changes on the membrane surfaces. Water contact angles and relative pure water fluxes were measured. The data showed that the hydrophilic performance for the modified membranes increased with the increase in the adsorption amount of Tween 20 onto the surface or into the pores of polypropylene microporous membranes. To test the antifouling property of the membranes by the adsorption of Tween 20 in a membrane bioreactor (MBR), filtration for active sludge was performed using synthetic wastewater. With the help of the data of water fluxes and the FE-SEM photos of the modified PPMMs before or after operating in a MBR for about 12 d, the PPMMs with monolayer adsorption of Tween 20 showed higher remained flux and stronger antifouling ability than unmodified membrane and other modification membranes studied.     

Benthic Fluxes and Pore Water Profiles in the Tigullio Gulf

Diffusive fluxes of elements (NO^-₂, NO^-₃, NH⁺₄, SiO₂, PO^3-₄, Cl^-, SO^2-₄, Fe, Mn) have been measured by applying the Fick's first law in two stations of the Tigullio Gulf: the first one characterized by sandy sediments rich in vegetal detritus and the second one, located to within the tourist harbour, characterized by a silty-clay sediments.

Benthic fluxes were measured only in the second station by means of benthic chamber experiments. Although the significant presence of dissolved oxygen in the surface sediments, and the evidence of processes usually occurring in oxidised sediments such as nitrification, both stations also presented characteristics of anoxic sediments such as high oxygen consumption rate and high pore water concentrations of ion, manganese and N-ammonia and reactive orthophosphate.

In both stations, sediments seemed to represent a potential source for most of the chemical species studied, although fluxes were not confirmed for ion, manganese and reactive orthophosphate in benthic chamber experiments.

Diffusive fluxes presented a general agreement for both stations, with higher fluxes of N-nitrate and N-nitrite at the first station were oxidative processes of N-ammonia in the upper layer of the sediments seemed to be more active. the comparison between diffusive and benthic fluxes showed a possible contribution of bioturbation.     

Dynamics of Carbon Pools and Fluxes in Russia's Forest Lands

The state and results of studies on the carbon cycle of forests on lands of the Russian forest fund (total area 1172 × 10⁶ ha) are analyzed at the federal level. Consideration is given to changes in the areas of different categories of forest lands, the age structure of stands, the pool and deposition of carbon in the phytomass, and the organic carbon pool of soils over the period from 1966 to 1998; the dynamics of activity in the forest industry by years and the extent of pyrogenic transformation of the forest cover between 1990 and 2001; and carbon fluxes associated with forest exploitation, including carbon emission resulting from fires.     

黄、东海污染物越界通量的估算研究

对黄、东海污染物越界通量估算方法进行了研究。黄、东海污染物SPM、Cu、Pb、Zn、Cd、Hg的越界通量估算值分别为82 1742 75± 10 0 70 3 0 0 4kg/h、5 883 31± 5 35 5 47kg/h、5 6 3 2 5± 45 2 2 2kg/h、17895 93± 15 6 96 45kg/h、1113 45± 85 0 0 8kg/h、35 32± 37 93kg/h。     

潮滩沉积物-水界面营养盐N、P分布及交换特征

通过2月枯季和8月洪季样品的采集、室内分析和测试,对滨岸带潮滩沉积物孔隙水中营养盐含量的分布、迁移和扩散通量进行了初步研究。结果表明,NH_4~--N和N0_3~--N的平均含量8月洪季比2月枯季低,但是NO_2-N含量在8月份却达到最高,为0.04 mg/L;TP在季节分布上变化不大,8月洪季时含量较高。在空间分布上发现,排污口及大面积围垦对营养盐局部分布的影响较大。营养盐剖面分布总体趋势为NH_4~--N含量随深度增加而增加,NO_3~--N随深度增加而减少,但同时受到沉积速率和污水排放的影响。潮滩沉积物—水界面间无机氮磷的平均扩散通量分别为7.15、-0.53μg/(cm~2·d),因此沉积物是N的输入源,P的汇。同时还发现,污染物的排放能极大地改变该地区的N、P迁移量甚至迁移方向。     

Weaning in the guinea pig (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Cavia aperea</Emphasis> f. <Emphasis Type="Italic">porcellus</Emphasis>): Who decides and by what measure?

Offspring should be selected to influence maternal effort to maximize their own fitness, whereas mothers are selected to limit investment in present progeny. In mammals, this leads to a conflict over the amount of milk provided and the timing of weaning. The intensity and time course of such conflict has so far mostly been investigated experimentally in altricial rodents. However, it is expected that offspring options for conflict will depend on developmental state. We therefore investigated in the highly precocial domestic guinea pig (Cavia aperea f. porcellus) who decides over nursing performance and weaning and how pup state influences these decisions. Specifically, we tested whether a threshold mass of pups predicts weaning time. By exchanging older litters against neonates and vice versa, we produced a situation in which females differed in lactational stage from the cross-fostered pups. Our results indicate that females decide about the timing of weaning, as cross-fostered younger pups were weaned at a much younger age than controls and older pups benefited from continuing lactation of foster mothers. Growth rates did not differ in the treatment groups, and different weaning ages resulted in differing weaning mass refuting the hypothesis that weaning is based on a threshold mass of offspring. This constitutes clear evidence that in a precocial rodent, the guinea pig, decisions about maternal care are primarily determined by maternal state and little influenced by pup state despite the extreme precociality of offspring. We suggest that precocial pups show little resistance to early weaning when food is abundant, as they reach sufficient nutritional independence by the middle of lactation to enable independent survival.
