挖掘图片背后的故事……

2004年12月26日，苏门答腊岛以西地震引发了巨大海啸。灾难性的海浪以摧枯拉朽之势残酷地摧毁了印度尼西亚，斯里兰卡，泰国等东南亚国家的沿海地区。海啸过后的每一天死亡人数都在以万为单位不断攀升，海啸不分种族，不分阶段，不分贫富地打击着脆弱的人类，此次地震引发的海啸是为类现代历史上最悲惨的灾难之一。

当前我国房地产市场调控的两大节点

一、我国房地产市场调控分析 针对房地产投资规模过大、价格上涨幅度过快等问题,2003年以来,我国从调整住房和土地供应结构,发挥税收、信贷、土地政策的调节作用;合理控制城市房屋拆迁规模和进度;整顿和规范房地产市场秩序;加快城镇廉租住房制度建设;完善房地产统计和信息披露制度;建立政府负责制等方面进行了三轮的房地产市场调控.应该说,房地产调控在抑制投资需求、稳定房价上取得了一定的成效.但是,调控效果并不明显,房价进一步上涨,供求矛盾进一步突出.根据国家发展改革委、国家统计局发布的调查数据,2006年7月全国70个大中城市房屋销售价同比上涨5.7%,环比上涨0.5%.

Silicon limitation on primary production and its destiny in Jiaozhou Bay, China——Ⅳ：Study on cross-bay transect from estuary to ocean

The authors analyzed the data collected in the Ecological Station Jiaozhou Bay from May 1991 to November 1994, including 12 seasonal investigations, to determine the characteristics, dynamic cycles and variation trends of the silicate in the bay. The results indicated that the rivers around Jiaozhou Bay provided abundant supply of silicate to the bay. The silicate concentration there depended on river flow variation. The horizontal variation of silicate concentration on the transect showed that the silicate concentration decreased with distance from shorelines. The vertical variation of it showed that silicate sank and deposited on the sea bottom by phytoplankton uptake and death, and zooplankton excretion. In this way, silicon would endlessly be transferred from terrestrial sources to the sea bottom. The silicon took up by phytoplankton and by other biogeochemical processes led to insufficient silicon supply for phytoplankton growth. In this paper, a 2D dynamic model of river flow versus silicate concentration was established by which silicate concentrations of 0.028–0.062 μmol/L in seawater was yielded by inputting certain seasonal unit river flows (m³/s), or in other words, the silicate supply rate; and when the unit river flow was set to zero, meaning no river input, the silicate concentrations were between 0.05–0.69 μmol/L in the bay. In terms of the silicate supply rate, Jiaozhou Bay was divided into three parts. The division shows a given river flow could generate several different silicon levels in corresponding regions, so as to the silicon-limitation levels to the phytoplankton in these regions. Another dynamic model of river flow versus primary production was set up by which the phytoplankton primary production of 5.21–15.55 (mgC/m²·d)/(m³/s) were obtained in our case at unit river flow values via silicate concentration or primary production conversion rate. Similarly, the values of primary production of 121.98–195.33 (mgC/m²·d) were achieved at zero unit river flow condition. A primary production conversion rate reflects the sensitivity to silicon depletion so as to different phytoplankton primary production and silicon requirements by different phytoplankton assemblages in different marine areas. In addition, the authors differentiated two equations (Eqs. 1 and 2) in the models to obtain the river flow variation that determines the silicate concentration variation, and in turn, the variation of primary production. These results proved further that nutrient silicon is a limiting factor for phytoplankton growth. This study was funded by NSFC (No. 40036010), and the Director's Fund of the Beihai Sea Monitoring Center, the State Oceanic Administration.
