让“尼莫”回家

看过《海底总动员》的朋友,一定对影片中的主角小丑鱼尼莫和它的爸爸马林印象深刻。事实上,现在有不少喜欢饲养热带鱼的渔民,已经开始将色彩艳丽的小丑鱼放进了自家鱼缸。但小丑鱼的饲养可不是件简单的事,如果你     

17种稀土元素名称的由来

稀土一词是历史遗留下来的名称。稀土元素是从18世纪末叶开始陆续发现,当时人们常把不溶于水的固体氧化物称为土。稀土一般是以氧化物状态分离出来的,又很稀少,因而得名为稀土。从1794年芬兰人加多林(J.Gadolin)分离出钇到1947年美国人马林斯基(J.A.Marinsky)等制得钷,历时150多年。其中大部分稀土元素是欧洲的一些矿物学家、化

River sediment supply, sedimentation and transport of the highly turbid sediment plume in Malindi Bay, Kenya

The paper presents results of a study on the sediment supply and movement of highly turbid sediment plume within Malindi Bay in the Northern region of the Kenya coast. The current velocities, tidal elevation, salinity and suspended sediment concentrations (TSSC) were measured in stations located within the bay using Aanderaa Recording Current Meter (RCM-9), Turbidity Sensor mounted on RCM-9, Divers Gauges and Aanderaa Temperature-Salinity Meter. The study established that Malindi Bay receives a high terrigenous sediment load amounting to 5.7 × 10⁶ ton·yr^?1. The river freshwater supply into the bay is highly variable ranging from 7 to 680 m³·s^?1. The high flows that are > 150 m³·s^?1 occurred in May during the South East Monsoon (SEM). Relatively low peak flows occurred in November during the North East Monsoon (NEM) but these were usually <70 m³·s^?1. The discharge of highly turbidity river water into the bay in April and May occurs in a period of high intensity SEM winds that generate strong north flowing current that transports the river sediment plume northward. However, during the NEM, the river supply of turbid water is relatively low occurring in a period of relatively low intensity NEM winds that result in relatively weaker south flowing current that transports the sediment plume southward. The mechanism of advection of the sediment plume north or south of the estuary is mainly thought to be due to the Ekman transport generated by the onshore monsoon winds. Limited movement of the river sediment plume southward towards Ras Vasco Da Gama during NEM has ensured that the coral reef ecosystem in the northern parts of Malindi Marine National Park has not been completely destroyed by the influx of terrigenous sediments. However, to the north there is no coral reef ecosystem. The high sediment discharge into Malindi Bay can be attributed to land use change in the Athi-Sabaki River Basin in addition to rapid population increase which has led to clearance of forests to open land for agriculture, livestock grazing and settlement. The problems of heavy siltation in the bay can be addressed by implementing effective soil conservation programmes in the Athi-Sabaki Basin. However, the soil conservation programmes in the basin are yet to succeed due to widespread poverty among the inhabitants and the complications brought about by climate change.
