Technique for Controlling Spread of Limnotic Oncomelania

Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease mostly found in areas along the Changjiang River of China. The disease is spread solely through an intermediary named oncomelania, so its spread of schistosomiasis can be controlled by properly designing water intakes which prevent oncomelania from entering farming land or residential areas. This paper reports a successful design process and a new oncomelania-free intake device. The design of the new intake is based on a sound research program in which extensive experimental studies were carried out to gain knowledge of oncomelania eco-hydraulic behavior and detailed flow field information through CFD simulation.

我称道退耕还林,写这篇文章正是基于斯--退耕还林交响曲

人类文明是需要付出代价的!当代中国退耕还林是生态恢复再造秀美山河的宏伟工程,也是一项惠及和影响子孙后代的文明工程.这项工程总投资3400亿元,工期10年（2000年至2010年）.它与三峡工程,青藏铁路,南水北调,西气东输,南电北输等工程一样举国瞩目.但是最体现农民利益、最受农民欢迎的当数共和国退耕还林工程.

Medical geology：new relevance in the earth sciences

The interdisciplinary fieldresponds to the need to betterof “Medical Geology“ understand the relationships between human health and our surrounding environment. The influence of earth resources, natural environmental factors and land-use on human health has long been recognized, dating back to ancient Rome and Peru‘s Inca civilization. Today links between the natural environment and health can be found throughout the world. This review introduces the historical context of this particular type of research, contrasts the direct geological and indirect natural hazard influences on healthas a framework of study, elaborates on pathways of elemental accumulation in the body and provides examples of specific geochemical behaviours and diseases that are often associated with either too much or not enough of certain elements which comprise the Earth.
