Transport and economic development in the less-developed countries: Some reflections on the seaports of Kenya and Tanzania     

Brian Stewart Hoyle Dr. 《GeoJournal》1986,12(3):233-242

The significant role of transport in the development of less-developed countries is widely accepted, but the critical importance of seaports is often under-appreciated. Evidence from the Indian Ocean ports of Kenya and Tanzania is used in this paper to illustrate and support the argument that efficient port operation is an essential contributory factor in the development process.  相似文献   

Re-evaluation of Reference Materials, IGS 21-39     

Brian LISTER 《Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research》1986,10(2):177-181

The 20 ore and concentrate reference materials originally issued by the Institute of Geological Sciences (as it then was) in 1977 have been reevaluated using robust as opposed to classical statistical techniques. The opportunity has also been taken to correct minor errors and to incorporate any new data. One material, the nickel concentrate, IGS 20, has been withdrawn due to incipient oxidation. A total of 24 elemental concentrations in the remaining 19 samples have received revised values.  相似文献

Colin G. Moore  Scot Mathieson  David J. L. Mills  Brian J. Bett 《Marine pollution bulletin》1987,18(12):646-649

A methodology is presented for the estimation of nematode diversity using Cairns' technique of sequential comparisons. The accuracy and precision of the method are examined and a test presented for the comparison of diversity estimates.  相似文献

A study of intergranular and fissure permeability in Chalk and Permian aquifers,using double-packer injection testing     

Michael Price  Brian Morris  Anne Robertson 《Journal of Hydrology》1982,54(4):401-423

Double-packer injection tests have been carried out in a borehole in the Chalk of Hampshire and a borehole in the Permian Penrith Sandstone of Cumbria, England. The tests have been supplemented by borehole logging and television inspections and by laboratory measurements on cores. A new mathematical treatment has enabled results to be calculated for injection test intervals containing fissures. In both formations, transmissivity immediately around the borehole is dominated by a few major fissures. In the Penrith Sandstone there is good agreement between intergranular hydraulic conductivity measurements and packer-test results in the portions of the borehole which do not contain major fissures. In the Chalk, the packer-test values are always higher than the intergranular measurements, suggesting that some degree of fissuring is present throughout.  相似文献

Sulphur uptake by salt grasses,mangroves, and seagrasses in anaerobic sediments     

Brian Fry  Richard S Scalan  J.Kenneth Winters  Patrick L Parker 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1982,46(6):1121-1124

Stable sulfur isotope analyses show that rooted estuarine plants growing in anoxic sediments incorporate substantial amounts of ³⁴S-depleted sulfides, or oxidation products thereof. In roots, this incorporation predominates over sulfate uptake from interstitial porewater. Either the plants incorporate normally toxic sulfides, or they are creating and using a specialized nutrient pool of oxidized sulfides at the root-sediment interface.  相似文献   

Water pollution: A view from ecology     

Gino Sabatini  Brian M. Marcotte 《Marine pollution bulletin》1983,14(7):254-256

The results of various methods typically used by governments to assess the environmental impact of potential pollutants do not give comparable results. It is argued that the cause is not the assessment techniques themselves but rather the paradigm of ecology from which they spring.  相似文献
