Surveillance of Invasive Bacterial Pathogens and Human Enteric Viruses in Wastewater Final Effluents and Receiving Water Bodies – a Case Study from Durban,South Africa

The physico‐chemical characteristics and microbial composition of the final effluents of two municipal wastewater treatment plants in South Africa were assessed between July and September 2009. The impact of the treated final effluents on the receiving water bodies was also evaluated. The temperature across all sampling points ranged between 14 and 22°C, while pH varied from 6.9 to 7.6. High levels of turbidity, chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia, nitrate, nitrite and orthophosphate (PO₄) were observed in many cases. Turbidity of the samples was in the range of 2.2–288.6 NTU. The concentrations (mg/L) of other physico‐chemical parameters are as follows: COD (9.33–289); ammonia (0.000340–45.4); nitrate (0.062–539); nitrite (0.021–22.6); PO₄ (5.3–33.2). The microbial quality of the effluents discharged from the plants did not comply with the limits set by the South African guidelines with respect to pathogens such as Salmonella, Shigella, Escherichia coli, total coliform, faecal coliform, enterococci, faecal streptococci, and viral particles for effluents intended for discharge into receiving watersheds. This study revealed an undesirable impact on the physico‐chemical and microbial qualities of the receiving water bodies as a result of the discharge of inadequately treated effluents from the wastewater treatment facilities. This poses a health risk to several rural communities which rely on the receiving water bodies primarily as their sources of domestic water and recreational purposes. There is therefore a need for the intervention of appropriate regulatory agencies in South Africa to ensure compliance of treatment facilities with wastewater effluent quality standards.     

典型农区农用地承包经营权流转价格及对策研究(英文)

河南既是农业大省又是中国重要的粮食主产区,农用地流转顺畅及适度规模经营对区域经济发展和国家粮食安全产生重要影响。借助于土地使用权评估的基本方法,并使用土地承包经营权的权属特性进行修正,构建了土地承包经营权流转价格模型,并对典型区域沁阳市西万村进行了实证分析。结果表明,土地承包经营权流转价格应该包括经济价格、社会价格和修正价格。价格模型的应用,应甄别理论价格和实际流转费用的区分,农用地流转后经营项目没有转变,流转价格为经济价格和社会保障价格是总和。农用地流转后经营项目发生转变,比如耕地改种经济作物,流转价格则是经济价格、社会价格与修正价格三者的总和。收益分配格局存在复杂性,流转收益应在流出方、流入方、管理者和所有者之间合理、公平分配。政府应建立合理有序的农用地承包经营权流转市场,并以农用地流转市场为载体,构建农用地流转价格体系。     

基于STSM的入境旅游流集散地域结构特征分析——以中国入境旅游六大典型区域为例

构建入境旅游流空间转移态矩阵模型,基于入境旅游统计数据与抽样调查数据,在合理划定中国入境旅游典型区域的基础上,实证研究六大典型区域的入境旅游流空间转移态矩阵,探讨入境旅游流集散的地域结构特征。研究表明:入境旅游流在中国东部表现为"等级式"集散模式,在中国西部表现为"等级式"与"接触式"并存的集散模式;入境旅游流集散的地域空间集中性十分突出,且集聚源区域与扩散目的地区域呈现高度重合性,尤其六大典型区域之间的互动关联极其显著;中国入境旅游流集散地域空间的梯级差异化特征鲜明,整体呈现"东—西递进式"的发展格局。

四川大梁子和天宝山铅锌矿床地球化学差异及地质意义

通过矿床宏观地质特征和地球化学特征的讨论,认为天宝山和大梁子矿床是构造-岩浆-热液形成的矿床,形成于晚燕山期-喜马拉雅期,与印度-欧亚板块碰撞作用诱发的陆内造山有关.天宝山和大梁子矿床地球化学特征差异,是构造-岩浆-热液运移路径所在地质环境的差异所致,反映了双会地区在复杂地质演化过程中,沿构造带走向所形成的地质环境差异.

威海-文登成矿带为胶东东部地区重要金及多金属成矿带,文登汤村店子金及多金属矿床为该成矿带内典型矿床,其形成与分布受米山断裂及次级断裂的控制。米山断裂次级断裂近EW向断裂带内发现7条矿化蚀变带,且在蚀变带内圈定4个金及多金属共生矿体,分别为Ⅰ-1,Ⅰ-2,Ⅱ-1,Ⅲ-1,其中Ⅱ-1矿体规模最大,赋存于Ⅱ矿化蚀变带中,呈细脉状,倾向NNE,倾角60°±,走向400 m,斜深250 m,赋存标高+60 m~-180 m,并共生银及铅、锌等多金属矿。矿石自然类型主要为原生矿石,地表为氧化矿石。矿体主要由多金属硫化物石英脉组成,围岩为中细粒二长花岗质片麻岩,围岩蚀变主要是绢英岩化、黄铁矿化等。通过对汤村店子金及多金属矿床地质特征及矿床成因分析,初步建立了成矿模式,进一步指出找矿方向及找矿标志,为后期找矿工作提供依据。     

Towards the application of the Water Framework Directive in Italy: Assessing the potential of benthic tools in Adriatic coastal transitional ecosystems

The potential of four benthic indices (AMBI/M-AMBI, BENTIX, BITS) was assessed in Italian coastal transitional ecosystems. The community composition showed a strong dominance of lagoonal, tolerant species, and out of more of 400 species found, only about 40 taxa were dominant. The full agreement of the four indices on an undegraded (Good or better) or degraded (Moderate or worse) status occurred only in 32.3% of stations. This study evidenced that BENTIX is inappropriate for eutrophic Adriatic lagoons, and that in such environments M-AMBI classification is actually too much dependent on diversity and richness, and seems unable to capture some peculiarities of benthic assemblages in transitional waters. AMBI and BITS gave similar classifications despite the different level of taxonomic identification needed. The unmodified use of these indices might impair accurate assessment of ecological quality status and decision-making on the managers’ point of view.
