The recognition of agroforestry as a greenhouse-gas mitigation strategy under the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) offers an opportunity to agroforestry practitioners to benefit from the global Carbon
(C) credit market. Our knowledge on this important topic from the semiarid regions such as the West African Sahel (WAS) is,
however, very limited. In order to fill this gap, this study was undertaken in the Ségou region of Mali (annual temperature,
29°C; annual rainfall, 300–700 mm in 60 to 90 days), focusing on two improved agroforestry systems (live fence and fodder
bank) along with traditional parkland agroforestry systems of the region. A cost–benefit analysis was conducted to assess
the economic profitability and risks associated with the systems considering them as 25-year projects and their potential
for participation in C credit market. The traditional systems had high C stock in their biomass and soil, but little potential
for sequestering additional C; on the other hand, the improved systems had low C stock, but high sequestration potential.
For the standard size live fence (291 m) and fodder bank (0.25 ha) projects, the estimated net present values (NPV) were $
96.0 and $158.8 without C credit sale, and $109.9 and $179.3 with C sale, respectively. From the C sale perspective, live
fence seemed less risky and more profitable than fodder bank. Carbon credit sale is likely to contribute to economic development
of the subsistence farmers in the WAS.

The octanol/water partition coefficients (P ow) of six monoisocyanate and five diisocyanate compounds were determined by high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) methods. Two HPLC peaks, a broad tailed peak followed by a sharp one, were observed with all compounds. The later peak was identified as the isocyanate compound. The P ow value for each isocyanate compound was determined by fitting the capacity factor of the peak to the regression equation drawn from those of reference compounds. The hydrophobic substituent constants for the isocyanate group were calculated with each of the compounds. The value of this constant was strongly dependent on the type of carbon bound to the isocyanate group and the average values for the aromatic and aliphatic isocyanate groups were 0.35 and — 0.52, respectively. Because of the reactivity of those compounds in the aquatic environment, the P ow has little relevance to calculation of their environmental fate and ecotoxicity. 相似文献

The present study investigated the influence of 241Am on microbial growth and the degradation of organic waste. Leachate samples collected in a lysimeter were periodically analyzed
for bacterial growth, under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. 241Am inhibited bacterial growth, and the degradation of organic matter was delayed in comparison with the control. Minimal inhibitory
concentration assays and survival curves revealed that it inhibits the growth of Pseudomonas putida F1. The assay also revealed that 241Am is more toxic than 238U, Zn2+ and Cd2+. This study further led to the finding of four new radionuclide-tolerant bacterial strains: Flavobacterium spp., Pseudomonas gladioli, Chryseobacterium indologenes and Ochrobactrum anthropi. The survival curves of P. gladioli, C. indologenes revealed that these bacteria are resistant to metal as consortia. 相似文献

The young leaves of Clethra barbinervis Sieb. et Zucc, which is a deciduous tree species found in secondary forests widely in Japan, are used in spring as a local traditional food by local populations, and the bark of this plant is also preferred by sika deer, Cervus nippon. However, C. barbinervis has been known to accumulate heavy metals in its leaves. Then, we aimed to clarify the characteristics of microelement contents in C. barbinervis and to discuss the value of this species as food for humans and animals through the analysis of seasonal changes and distribution in various organs of C. barbinervis growing under two different geological conditions. We found that C. barbinervis is an accumulating and tolerant plant for Ni, Co and Mn. It accumulates Ni from serpentine soil containing Ni at high concentration, and Co and Mn from acidic soils based on crystalline schist. The seasonal variation in element concentrations in leaves indicates that the young leaves contain Cu at high concentration and that eating them in spring season may be advantageous to humans, due to the associated increase in Cu intake. The high concentrations of Cu and Zn in the bark of C. barbinervis might explain why deer prefer to eat the bark of this species. 相似文献

Several attempts have been made to detect and retrieve fetal nucleated cells including nucleated erythrocytes (NRBCs), leukocytes, and trophoblasts in maternal blood. We have recently developed a new method for non-invasive fetal DNA diagnosis from maternal blood. Peripheral blood granulocytes including NRBCs were isolated by a discontinuous density gradient method using Percoll (Pharmasia). NRBCs were found and retrieved at a single cell level using a micromanipulator under a microscope. To determine whether the origin of the NRBCs was maternal or fetal, the NRBCs were analysed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification to determine the presence of a Y-chromosome-specific repeat sequence in mothers carrying male fetuses. We were successful in predicting fetal sex accurately in 10 out of 11 samples taken from maternal blood. This new technique opens up fetal DNA diagnosis from maternal blood during the first trimester of pregnancy to the whole population because there is no risk to the fetus or the mother. 相似文献

The modification of poly(vinyl chloride) was carried out with iminodiacetic acid (IDA, C4H7NO4) and iminodiacetic acid dimethylester (IDADM, C6H11NO4), as well as with n-dodecanethiol (DT, C12H26S) in the presence of K2CO3. The reaction was carried out at different temperatures below 100 °C with dimethyl formamide (DMF) and cyclohexanone as solvents. IDA did not show any reactivity, probably due to the dipolar character of the molecule. IDADM caused the elimination of HCl, while only substitution ratios of about 3 % were observed. However, the modification of PVC with DT resulted in a substitution rate of 18 % without elimination. DT-PVC showed excellent thermal properties, comparable with those of the unmodified polymer. 相似文献

This paper first analyzes the interactions between capital accumulation and environmental pollution under the program of sustained constant utility, which depends on per capita consumption and pollution, over all generations. Then the optimal program of economic growth is discussed. The implications of the constant-utility criterion (or the max-min principle) are compared with those of the utilitarian criterion which has been widely adopted in environmental pollution literature. Subsequently, the analysis incorporates pollution-abatement investment and exhaustible resources. We conclude that the max-min principle works fairly satisfactorily in this world. 相似文献

Many life cycle assessment studies have evaluated and compared the environmental performance of various technologies for recycling
plastic containers and packaging in Japan and other countries. However, no studies have evaluated the combination of recycling
technologies in consideration of the resin composition in terms of the quantity of each recycled product so as to maximize
their environmental potential. In this study, 27 scenarios of recycling schemes for household waste plastic containers and
packaging are developed through integrating a conventional recycling scheme with additional recycling schemes. The conventional
recycling scheme involves municipal curbside collection and either the material recycling or feedstock recycling of waste
plastics. The additional recycling schemes are feedstock recycling in steel works of the residue from conventional material
recycling processes, and corporate voluntary collection and independent material recycling of specific types of plastic trays.
Life cycle assessment based on the modeling of recycling processes considering the resin composition in terms of the quantity
of each recycled product is applied to evaluate and compare these scenarios from the viewpoints of fossil resource consumption
and CO2 emission. The results show that the environmental loads are reduced in all scenarios including the additional recycling schemes
compared with the conventional recycling scheme. However, the independent plastic tray recycling scheme exhibits lower additional
environmental savings when the residue recycling scheme is integrated with the conventional material recycling scheme. This
is because both additional recycling schemes aim to utilize polystyrene and polyethylene terephthalate, which would otherwise
be incinerated as residue from material recycling processes. The evaluation of the environmental loads of plastic recycling
with consideration of the resin composition in terms of the quantity of each recycled product makes it possible to investigate
recycling schemes that integrate different technologies to maximize their environmental potential. 相似文献
