Factors controlling the formation of coppice dunes (nebkhas) in the Negev Desert

Due to their role in increasing fertility, coppice dunes (nebkhas) are regarded by many researchers as important contributors to aridland ecosystems. Yet, despite their frequent occurrence, little information exists regarding the rate and factors that control their formation. The goal of the current study is to examine the formation rate and factors that determine the establishment of coppice dunes in the Hallamish dune field in the western Negev Desert. The rate in which sand and fines, hereafter aeolian input (AI) was trapped and its particle size distribution (PSD) were examined by means of the solidification of 2 m × 2 m plots using surface stabilizers, and by the installation of three pairs of artificial shrubs (SH), three pairs of artificial trees (TR), and a pair of control (CT) plots. Measurements were annually conducted during June 2004 and June 2008, with monthly collection during June 2004 and May 2006. The PSD was compared to coppice dunes located on the fine‐grained playa surface. AI was trapped at SH, while it was not trapped at TR and CT. The annual rate of AI accretion under the canopy was highly variable ranging between 1405 and 13 260 g m^?2, with a four‐year average of 5676 g m^?2, i.e. 3.8 mm a^?1. It depended upon the wind power, with drift potential having a threshold velocity of U_t > 10 m s^?1 yielding the higher correlations with the monthly AI (r² = 0.59–0.84). No significant relations were obtained between the monthly AI and shrub height. Sand saltation, suspension and creep are seen responsible for mound formation, which based on the current rates of sand accretion are relatively fast with a 60 cm‐high coppice dune forming within ~150–160 years. The current data highlight the problematic design of some previous research using conventional traps and confining the measurements only to certain seasons.

羧甲基纤维素稳定纳米铁去除水中六价铬的研究

零价纳米铁(NZVI)具有较高活性,近年受到人们关注并将其应用于地下水污染原位修复,但在实际应用中NZVI易发生氧化与团聚,容易失活。因此尝试运用环境友好型材料对NZVI进行表面改性,选择羧甲基纤维素(CMC)对纳米铁进行表面包覆获得CNZVI,研究不同CMC含量包覆NZVI的分散稳定性和CNZVI对水中六价铬的去除效果。结果表明：经过改性后的CNZVI分散稳定性要明显优于商用纳米铁RNIP,包覆CMC的比例越高,CNZVI的稳定性越好,在较高的CMC包覆比例下,纳米铁不易失活并具有良好的反应活性,对溶液中六价铬有很好的去除效果。     

波流组合作用下SPAR平台垂荡-纵摇耦合运动研究

探讨SPAR平台在波流组合作用下的运动响应机理。运用Matlab程序分析了SPAR平台产生内共振的运动过程,运用刚体动力学理论建立了平台垂荡-纵摇耦合方程,对波流共同作用下Spar平台的垂荡、纵摇运动进行数值模拟,结果表明:流的加入对于内共振的影响并不明显;同时采用AQWA软件研究了流的加入对于纵荡二阶慢漂力的影响,研究发现,当波流同向时能大大增加Spar平台的纵荡运动,而波流反向时却能明显削弱纵荡运动。本文研究成果对于指导深海浮式结构设计开发具有一定的理论借鉴作用。

深水环境下OBS的二次定位技术

在海洋环境下,OBS（海底地震仪）投放后,由于潮汐、涌浪以及海流等因素的影响而漂移,OBS资料处理的首要任务就是进行OBS的二次定位。深水环境下一般使用直达波二次定位技术,直达波定位的传统方法是采用网格节点法计算直达波线性动校正,计算工作量非常大。列举了OBS落点漂移的多种情形,模拟了不同情况下直达波的线性动校正曲线,分析了影响线性动校正曲线变化的各个因素,建立了判断落点方向的标准,提出了十字交叉法反演OBS落点位置,对实测资料进行落点位置反演,获得了准确的定位结果。此方法明显减少了计算工作量,可以快速获得准确的OBS落点位置。     

Factors controlling the entrance cross‐sectional areas of four inlets (note)

The frequent occurrence of swell in the entrance to Wellington, Lyttelton, and Akaroa Harbours, coupled with the small littoral drift of sediment on adjacent rocky coastlines, appears to promote development of larger entrances than those associated with tidal control in unconsolidated sediment. In contrast to these three harbours, tidally controlled entrances have either bars or banks that protect them from severe swell and act as bypasses to the littoral drift of sediment.

The entrance to Paterson Inlet lies on a coast with little sediment transport and further protection from sediment influx is provided by islands located at its entrance.     

Occurrence of Hydroclathrus clathratus in northern New Zealand waters

Hydroclathrus clathratus (C. Agardh) Howe (Phacophyta: Punctariales) is recorded from two harbours on the Northland east coast, North Island, New Zealand. The possibility of its being a recently introduced species is discussed.     

Stranded redds of quinnat salmon in the Mathias River,South Island,New Zealand

In May and June 1974 seven naturally made, stranded redds of quinnat salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytsha (Walbaum) were excavated. Ova numbers per redd varied from 2295 to 6510 and per egg pocket from 99 to 1608. Egg pocket depths varied from 18 cm to 43 cm. The ova were found to be healthy.
