Plutonium bioaccumulation in seabirds

The aim of the paper was plutonium (²³⁸Pu and ^239+240Pu) determination in seabirds, permanently or temporarily living in northern Poland at the Baltic Sea coast. Together 11 marine birds species were examined: 3 species permanently residing in the southern Baltic, 4 species of wintering birds and 3 species of migrating birds. The obtained results indicated plutonium is non-uniformly distributed in organs and tissues of analyzed seabirds. The highest plutonium content was found in the digestion organs and feathers, the smallest in skin and muscles. The plutonium concentration was lower in analyzed species which feed on fish and much higher in herbivorous species. The main source of plutonium in analyzed marine birds was global atmospheric fallout.     

渤海和黄海北部地区负积温资源的时空分布特征

论文以日平均气温≤-4℃的累积值和日数作为与海冰有关的气候指标,统计了渤海和黄海北部沿岸及其邻近地区52个气象站≤-4℃积温和日数的逐年资料,并根据52个气象站的气候指标值与经度、纬度、海拔高度的相关关系,建立空间分布方程,推算无资料海区中214个网格点的≤-4℃积温和日数,绘制渤海和黄海北部地区≤-4℃积温和日数分布图。研究结果表明:≤-4℃积温的空间分布呈现南北差异大、东西变化小的特征,-100℃等值线与渤海和黄海北部常年冰情分布范围大致相当;冰情较重的偏重低温年、严重低温年的≤-4℃积温保证率在黄海北部和辽东湾不超过40%,在渤海湾和莱州湾只有20%以下。     

Whale Wars and the Axiomatization of Image Events on the Public Screen

The essay interrogates Animal Planet's television show Whale Wars, and the use of footage from that show in a commercial for one of the network's other shows, How Stuff Works, to examine the way these texts interact within the public screen. I argue that the (re)presentation of whale kill footage further instantiates an image event as a commodity and rhetorically reconciles the image event into a capitalist ideology counter to the social movement message constructed on Whale Wars—and by proxy allows the image event to play out only via a profit-motive tied to the death of the whale.     

光照在东海近海东海原甲藻赤潮发生中的作用

利用船基现场培养实验和模型计算的方法,通过对东海原甲藻生长的光照效应和海水中光照最适宜生长水层的分析,研究了光照在东海近海东海原甲藻赤潮孕育和发生中的作用.结果表明,东海原甲藻生长与光照的关系可用Steele方程描述,其生长的最适光照强度(Iopt)为(38.2±3.8)W·m-2,比其它几种常见赤潮藻的Iopt(40～133 W·m-2)低,适应低光照的能力使东海原甲藻在高混浊海水中形成赤潮更具优势.东海近海光照最适宜东海原甲藻生长的水层厚度,由近岸向远岸逐渐增加,在赤潮高发区一般在5～10 m,而且位于水深3～15 m的次表层水层内.赤潮在"赤潮高发区"这个特定海域发生是水体光照和营养盐权衡的结果,而次表层光照最适的特性是导致春季次表层孕育赤潮的重要因素之一.     

Cost-effective nutrient reductions to coupled heterogeneous marine water basins: An application to the Baltic Sea

In this paper, the role of nutrient transports between marine basins is investigated for cost-effective solutions to predetermined marine basin targets. The interdependent advective nutrient transports as well as retentions among the seven major marine basins of the Baltic Sea are described by input-output analysis. This is in contrast to prior economic studies of transboundary water pollution that include only direct transport between the basins. The analytical results show that the difference in impacts between transport specifications depends mainly on the openness of the basins, that is, their transports with other basins. The application on Baltic Sea shows significant differences in costs and policy design between the nutrient transport specifications. The reason is that the Sea is characterized by long water and nutrient residence times, so relatively large part of nutrients are transported among basins.     

珠江三角洲及南海北部海域表层沉积物中多溴联苯醚的分布特征

自珠江三角洲和南海北部海域采集了66个表层沉积物样品,以研究该区域中PBDEs的含量、分布、来源和在环境中的迁移.研究结果表明,东江和珠江是PBDEs的高污染区,含量为12.7～7361ng·g-1,其中BDE209平均含量为1199ng·g-1,是目前世界上已报道沉积物中含量最高的区域之一.在几乎所有被分析的样品中BDE209都是最主要的同系物.东江和珠江的PBDEs主要来自东莞和广州的本地排放,而西江的PBDEs主要通过大气的传播输入.另一个高污染区澳门水域被验证是珠江三角洲水体环境中有机污染物的“汇”.     

南黄海6.1级地震前热红外异常

从1996-11-09南黄海6.1级地震(震中位置31°50′N,123°06′E)的地震地质构造环境、临震卫星热红外异常与近地表大气增温异常等3方面进行研究。认为该震震前有较明显的热红外异常显示,并初步探讨了该区地震的临震近地表大气增温与卫星热红外异常的基本特征。     

黄渤海上空气溶胶类型判别及其成因分析

气溶胶是大气环境的重要组成部分,其对天气和气候变化有重要影响,对人类健康也有危害.对气溶胶类型的区分有利于判别气溶胶的来源,这对控制气溶胶污染源、改善区域环境质量有重要的推动作用.本文基于黄渤海区域6个观测点的实测数据和卫星遥感数据,采用聚类分析方法对黄渤海上空的气溶胶进行分类,并采用拉格朗日轨迹追踪法判定气溶胶的来源...
