是矿地产评估还是按你的愿望说个数?

根据“澳大利亚公司法”的要求,“独立专家报告”一般是支持资本筹集或保护公司兼并和收购活动所必需的文件。1995年颁发的“矿地产评估规范”(VALMIN Code)及该规范1998年的修订本又就透明性和实质性做了关键的要求,使这类评价和评估报告的可理解性比过去大大提高了。为促使“独立评估人”对其为资源性资产所做的估价给予合理的解释,VALMIN希望评估报告的读者指出报告在评估方法方面的错误和不合逻辑之处,并允许对评估结果提出严肃的质疑甚至反对。尽管资源性资产评估实践中的许多要求不可否认都是主观的,但这些主观要素肯定是建立在某些客观理由的基础之上的。 独立资源性资产评估人是矿产勘查人/采矿人与经纪人/分析家/资金管理者/投资者之间必不可少的桥梁。矿业和金融业都不希望他们使用不适当或无效的评估方法或在评估中使用不合逻辑的步骤。本文考察了某些不够合理的评估程序,发现有些评估人普遍使用的评价矿地产公平市价的主要技术最近一直被应用于某些评估实践中。作者希望阻止评估人采取或肆意使用“你希望是多少?”这类方法。 MINVAL公司认为,对任何资源性资产的评估都应采用尽可能多的方法。如果有任何近似的估计结果(尤其是当这些结果是使用不太主观的现有方法得出时),即:如果有些结果相近

Impacts of macroalgal spores on the dynamics of adult macroalgae in a eutrophic estuary: high versus low hydrodynamic seasons and long-term simulations for global warming scenarios

A model describing macroalgal early life stages and adult dynamics was used to quantify the effects of non-adult forms on the productivity of adult macroalgae in a eutrophic estuary. Predictions indicate that during years with mild winters and low rainfall, spring blooms will occur at the expense of the growth and reproduction of overwintering adults and without the contribution of the spore bank. In these circumstances, there is a positive correlation between the intensity of the blooms and the biomass of overwintering adults until a maximum threshold value. On the contrary, in years with high rainfall and low or inexistent biomass of overwintering adults, the onset of adult’s growth depends on the biomass of viable dormant spores, the growing season occurs later and adult productivity is very limited. Long-term predictions for climate change scenarios suggest that, in general, global warming will have adverse affects on Ulva intestinalis productivity, with the adults being more affected than the early life stages.     

2-辛胺吡啶—新的萃取试剂

等人曾提出用n—辛苯胺(OA)富集铂族金属时指出,惰性稀释剂中的OA能够在酸性介质中萃取钯和铂,在中性介质中以配位—溶剂化方式萃取铑。3(5)—甲基吡唑由盐酸溶液中萃取钯和铑。在吸着剂上吸着铂族金属,是基于苯乙烯和3(5)—甲基吡唑的共聚合物,同铂族金属形成以M-N键的化合物。显然,芳香胺对铂族金属具有一定的特效性。由脂肪胺转变为苯胺和杂环芳香胺时氮原子得更“软”。铂族金属多与“软”配位体结合。     

Local hydraulic gradient estimator analysis of long-term monitoring networks

Three measurements of head at unique locations form a three-point estimator of the local magnitude and orientation of the hydraulic gradient. The relative head measurement error (RHME) is defined here as the measurement error normalized by the head drop across the three-point estimator. Monte Carlo simulation results show that estimators with base to height ratios between 0.5 and 5.0 and that are large enough to keep the RHME below 0.05 create the most accurate gradient estimates and provide criteria for identifying good estimators. These criteria are applied to an example ground water monitoring network design problem in the Culebra dolomite near the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant repository to both analyze temporal changes and modify and expand the current monitoring network. Limiting the three-point estimators to those that meet the shape and RHME criteria reduces the number of possible estimators by >50% and leads to approximately 1 order of magnitude decrease in the average estimated magnitude of the gradient relative to using all estimators. Application of these criteria also reduces the variability in estimated gradient magnitude and orientation between the two time periods of measurements. Redundant wells in the network are identified by removing each existing well in turn and determining which removals yield the smallest decrease in the number of acceptable estimators. Optimal new well locations are identified by mapping the increase in total number of acceptable estimators for a single new well placed in the study domain.     

Challenges in the Detection and Attribution of Northern Hemisphere Surface Temperature Trends Since 1850

Since 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) has heavily relied on the comparison between global climate model hindcasts and global surface temperature(ST) estimates for concluding that post-1950s global warming is mostly human-caused. In Connolly et al., we cautioned that this approach to the detection and attribution of climate change was highly dependent on the choice of Total Solar Irradiance(TSI) and ST data sets.We compiled 16 TSI and five ST data sets and found by alter...     

润滑剂摩擦特性及其对顶管推力和管-土相互作用的影响

润滑剂普遍应用于项管工程中,尤其是在复杂地质条件和长距离顶管中。使用润滑剂的主要目的是减小管土之间的摩擦力,但是定量地确定这两者之间的真实接触情况是十分困难的。测量管-土相互作用的新型技术目前仍然很少并有待进一步发展,所以只能利用间接手段测定管土之间的相互作用,并且这些测量方法的应用基于对工程的定性评价。本研究应用一种简单的试验方法来测定台湾地区最常用的润滑剂的摩擦特性,这些摩擦特性可以用于顶力的估算和直线与曲线顶管中管-土相互作用的数值分析。对顶力的分析结果表明顶力的减小与摩擦系数的减小密切相关,并且润滑剂在曲线顶管中的作用比在直线顶管中略大。此外,对台中科技园中400m长直线顶管工程的研究显示由经验公式得到的顶力估算值比实际要大,这表明由超挖造成的管土之间接触面积的减小对砂砾石地层中顶管施工的影响是非常显著的。     

Resolving mechanisms of toxicity while pursuing ecotoxicological relevance?

In this age of modern biology, aquatic toxicological research has pursued mechanisms of action of toxicants. This has provided potential tools for ecotoxicologic investigations. However, problems of biocomplexity and issues at higher levels of biological organization remain a challenge. In the 1980s and 1990s and continuing to a lesser extent today, organisms residing in highly contaminated field sites or exposed in the laboratory to calibrated concentrations of individual compounds were carefully analyzed for their responses to priority pollutants. Correlation of biochemical and structural analyses in cultured cells and tissues, as well as the in vivo exposures led to the production and application of biomarkers of exposure and effect and to our awareness of genotoxicity and its chronic manifestations, such as neoplasms, in wild fishes. To gain acceptance of these findings in the greater environmental toxicology community, “validation of the model” versus other, better-established often rodent models, was necessary and became a major focus. Resultant biomarkers were applied to heavily contaminated and reference field sites as part of effects assessment and with investigations following large-scale disasters such as oil spills or industrial accidents.

Over the past 15 years, in the laboratory, small aquarium fish models such as medaka (Oryzias latipes), zebrafish (Danio rerio), platyfish (Xiphophorus species), fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas), and sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus) were increasingly used establishing mechanisms of toxicants. Today, the same organisms provide reliable information at higher levels of biological organization relevant to ecotoxicology. We review studies resolving mechanisms of toxicity and discuss ways to address biocomplexity, mixtures of contaminants, and the need to relate individual level responses to populations and communities.

冲断层、张性断层与花岗岩侵入作用关系的构造证据

本文提出了翁布里诺（Hombreiro）侵入体新的构造和岩石组构资料。翁布里诺侵入体是位于西班牙华力西构造带北部的一个同构造便位的花岗岩体。该岩体表现有两期塑性交形特征:早期变形与蒙多涅多（Mondonedo）推覆体的运动有关,此推覆体具有上盘向东的剪切指向;晚期变形则与比韦罗（Vivero）断层有关,此断层为一上盘向西运动的张性剪切带。这两期变形都始于高温近花岗岩固相线条件下,石英中保留有[c]-滑移组构可作证明。这一事实表明,在蒙多涅多推覆体上冲过程中,翁布里诺花岗岩发生侵位,在其定位过程中,张性断层不久即开始活动。本文提出,比韦罗断层的位置受地壳不稳定性所控制,而这种地壳不稳定性则由位于该断层下盘的许多侵入体的侵入作用所引起。
