Teachers as Learners Examine Land-Use Change in the Local Environment Using Remote Sensing Imagery

Abstract

In environmental science education, learners are exposed to earth phenomena that occur across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. However, it is challenging for learners to grasp the significance of spatial and temporal change because they have limited perspectives of the Earth. Within the scientific community, remotely sensed imagery is used for observing the Earth as a system. These same tools can be applied at all levels in environmental science education to help learners understand and visualize earth change. In this article, the experiences of teachers as learners are described as they conducted a temporal analysis of a local wetland using aerial photography in an inquiry-based activity.     

三峡坝区强降水过程6～12小时综合预报方法

为了满足长江三峡水利枢纽施工需要,开展了三峡坝区降水预报研究。在对三峡坝区强降水过程进行仔细分析的基础上,得出了有关统计规律,应用日本数值降水预报产品、卫星云图、雷达回波资料及天气学经验,逐步形成了一套６￣１２小时强降水过程综合预报方法。１９９９年试用表明,该方法对三峡坝区的强降水过程预报具有一定的实用性。

剩余油分布特征是油田开发地质工作需要解决的主要问题之一，本文应用动态分析法半定量地描述了东濮凹陷西斜坡带主力区块胡十二块小层剩余区油分布状态，对该块剩余油在油藏平面，层间和层内的分布特征进行了详细研究，并针对4种剩余油分布类型提出相应挖潜技术对策，为高含水后期油田挖潜提供了必要依据。     

固载杂多酸催化合成富马酸二甲酯

以富马酸与甲醇为原料，固载杂多酸PW12／C为催化剂合成了富马酸二甲酯。详细探讨了影响酯化反应的各种因素，得出了富马酸与甲醇反应的最佳条件，即m（催化剂）∶m（富马酸）8∶100，n（富马酸）∶n（甲醇）＝1∶8，回流搅拌反应3h。在该条件下，酯化产率为91.6%。结果表明，此法催化剂用量少，催化活性高，反应时间短，酯收率高，反应工艺简单。     

12 HOUR PRECIPITATION FORECASTS FOR NAIROBI,KENYA

Radiosonde profiles of temperature and dewpoint temperature from one station are used to forecast 12-h precipita-tion over Nairobi,Kenya.The forecast scheme is based on statistical regression modelling.Four predictors are derivedfrom data to use in a prognostic equation to get 12-h precipitation forecast.Observed and predicted rainfall values areplotted on a graph against time.Forecast verification shows that the forecasts are positively correlated withobservations.     

Wachstum gentechnisch veränderter E. coli K—12-Zellen in Klärschlamm aus zwei Kläranlagen Growth of Genetically Modified E. coli K - 12 Cells in Sewage Sludge of Two Different Sewage Treatment Plants

The release of genetically engineered microorganisms may occur from research laboratories of production plants. The most important pathway of release is via the sewage system and the sewage treatment plants into surface waters. The growth of these organisms might represent a risk to the environment. Therefore the growth of a genetically engineered strain of E. coli K-12 was investigated. Aqueous supernatant from sewage sludge of two domestic sewage plants was used as medium. This medium was treated with sterile filtration and amended with nutrients. The test strain E. coli K-12 W3110i^qM15Nal^r(pBR322) did not show permanent growth under the conditions employed. The result is interpreted by the presence of bacteriophages and the poor nutritional conditions in the medium.     

Geochemische und 13C/12C-isotopenchemische Untersuchung zur Herkunft der Kohlensäure in mineralhaltigen Wässern Nordhessens (Deutschland)

Geochemical and ¹³C/¹²C-isotopical Investigation of Mineral Waters in Northern Hessia (Germany) and the Origin of their CO₂ Content The dissolved carbonate originates from three sources: 1. biogenetic soil-CO₂, 2. volcanic CO₂ related to the evaporites of the Zechstein formation, and 3. carbonate derived from the dissolution of limestones and dolomites. Miocenic basaltic melts penetrated the evaporites of the Zechstein, and the related CO₂ was trapped in the intra- and intergranulars of the salt minerals. Circulating meteoric waters dissolve the salt minerals releasing CO₂ gas. Thus, the occurrence of basalt is related to the CO₂ contents of the evaporites, and the dissolution of only small amounts of salts rich in CO₂ may result in a high concentration of carbonic acid. In waters rich in carbonate, where volcanic CO₂ dominates over the other two sources of carbon, a δ¹³C-value of “salt-CO₂” of about –1‰ (PDB) is obtained. Water with less dissolved carbonate species have smaller quantities of salt-CO₂ down to about 20%.

基于线粒体12S rRNA序列探讨4种青蟹系统发育关系及中国沿海青蟹的分类地位

研究青蟹属4种青蟹的系统发育关系,阐明分布于中国沿海青蟹的分类地位,本研究采集了青蟹属4种青蟹以及中国沿海的青蟹样品,测定分析了其线粒体12S rRNA部分片段序列。结果表明4种青蟹的12S rRNA基因片段长度存在差异,每一种的个体都单独聚为1支,中国沿海的青蟹样品全部与Scylla paramamosain聚为1支,结果提示分布于中国沿海的青蟹主要是S.paramamosain。S.serrata,S.paramamosain和S.tranquebarica3个种间的亲缘关系较近,这3个种形成1个单系群并且具有很高的自展置信值。S.olivacea与其他3个种互为单系,与以上3种青蟹的亲缘关系较远。
