The early-type galaxies NGC 1407 and NGC 1400 – I. Spatially resolved radial kinematics and surface photometry     

Max Spolaor  Duncan A. Forbes  George K. T. Hau  Robert N. Proctor  Sarah Brough 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2008,385(2):667-674

This is the first paper of a series focused on investigating the star formation and evolutionary history of the two early-type galaxies NGC 1407 and NGC 1400. They are the two brightest galaxies of the NGC 1407 (or Eridanus-A) group, one of the 60 groups studied as part of the Group Evolution Multi-wavelength Study.
Here, we present new high signal-to-noise ratio long-slit spectroscopic data obtained at the ESO 3.6-m telescope and high-resolution multiband imaging data from the Hubble Space Telescope /Advanced Camera for Surveys and wide-field imaging from Subaru Suprime-Cam. We spatially resolved integrated spectra out to ∼0.6 (NGC 1407) and ∼1.3 (NGC 1400) effective radii. The radial profiles of the kinematic parameters v _rot, σ, h ₃ and h ₄ are measured. The surface brightness profiles are fitted to different galaxy light models and the colour distributions analysed. The multiband images are modelled to derive isophotal shape parameters and residual galaxy images. The parameters from the surface brightness profile fitting are used to estimate the mass of the possible central supermassive black hole in NGC 1407. The galaxies are found to be rotationally supported and to have a flat core in the surface brightness profiles. Elliptical isophotes are observed at all radii and no fine structures are detected in the residual galaxy images. From our results, we can also discard a possible interaction between NGC 1400, NGC 1407 and the group intergalactic medium. We estimate a mass of  ∼1.03 × 10⁹ M_⊙  for the supermassive black hole in NGC 1407 galaxy.  相似文献   

Political Alienation,Rurality and the Symbolic Role of Swedish Wolf Policy     

Max Eriksson 《社会与自然资源》2017,30(11):1374-1388

Attitudes towards wolf policy are likely to be driven by perceived differences in political power between urban and rural groups. Using Swedish survey data collected in 2014 and structural equation modeling, I evaluated the effects of political alienation. Political alienation mediated the effect of having an urban or rural place of residence on attitudes towards wolf policy. Politically alienated individuals also preferred more extreme policy options than other respondents, while being less likely to approve of the current wolf policy in Sweden. These findings suggest that political alienation drives attitude polarization in wolf related social conflicts. Awareness of these underlying power asymmetries could possibly increase both policy legitimacy and management efficiency. This highlights the importance of accounting for social context in relation to policy-making and conservation efforts related to wolves.  相似文献   

The Influence of Place on the Willingness to Pay for Ecosystem Services     

Max Nielsen-Pincus  Patricia Sussman  Drew E. Bennett  Hannah Gosnell  Robert Parker 《社会与自然资源》2017,30(12):1423-1441

Sense of place, including an individual’s attitudes toward specific geographic settings, is generally predicted to influence willingness to engage in place-protective behaviors. Relatively little research, however, has empirically examined the influence of people’s attitudes toward a place on their willingness to pay for environmental protection. Using the example of a payment for ecosystem services (PES) initiative in the McKenzie River watershed, Oregon, USA, we found that place attitudes were a significant predictor of respondents’ willingness to pay for a program designed to benefit drinking water quality. These results suggest that connecting conservation actions to landscapes that are meaningful to people may increase their financial support for PES and other conservation programs. While program managers have little or no influence over stakeholders’ political ideology, gender, or income, managers may be able to influence prospective PES buyers’ awareness and attitudes through targeted communications, thereby potentially increasing support for place-based conservation efforts.  相似文献   

Landowner Attitudes Toward Conservation Easements: Balancing the Private and Public Interest in Land     

Ashley Vizek  Max Nielsen-Pincus 《社会与自然资源》2017,30(9):1080-1095

Private land conservation provides an opportunity to address problems of habitat fragmentation and biodiversity loss caused by an increase in the development and parcelization of private land. Conservation easements (CEs) are used to protect significant natural qualities of private land. In this study, we explore landowner attitudes toward CEs through the implementation of a mixed-mode survey to private landowners in the Whychus Creek Watershed (Deschutes County, Oregon). The results of an exploratory factor analysis suggest there are two dimensions to landowner attitudes toward CEs, an internal dimension and an external dimension. We found that positive external attitudes are primarily influenced by environmental beliefs, whereas positive internal attitudes are influenced by a suite of factors, including financial beliefs and perceived risk to private ownership. Awareness of CEs may also play a role in attitude development. Through this research, we argue that CEs may be beneficial in reintegrating the public good into private property.  相似文献   

Eine Induktions-Impulsmethode für den Nachweis des Erdöls     

Prof. Dr. Max Müller 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1950,17(1-2):54-63

Zusammenfassung Es wird eine Induktionsimpulsmethode beschrieben, welche sich auf die Messung dielektrischer Dispersionsphänomene gründet, und welche einen direkten Nachweis des Petroleums auf Tiefen von über 2000 m ermöglicht. Durch Variation der Anfachungsbedingungen kann man selektive Reaktionswirkungen erzielen.

Summary An induction pulse method is described, based upon the measurement of a dielectric dispersion phenomenon. This method opens the possibility of a direct and selective reaction of the petroleum at a depth of more than 6000 feet. Hereby the selective reaction is based upon the variation of the exciting conditions.

Vertikale und zeitliche Verteilung der Leitfähigkeit in einem eutrophen Gewässer während der Sommerstagnation     

Richard A. Vollenweider  Max Frei 《Aquatic Sciences - Research Across Boundaries》1953,15(1):158-167

Summary Data are given of the vertical distribution of temperature, conductivity and alkalinity of an eutrophic lake (Rotsee near Lucerne) measured at short intervals during the summer stratification. We were able to prove in a limited measure only the expected day's periodicity from the conductivity of the CO₂-assimilation of the phytoplankton. We found pronounced internal ‘seiches’ in the hypolimnion; their mathematical interpretation is given only in the order of size.Rodhe's diagram andNümann's method make it possible to determine quantitative relations; from the chemical point of view the lake (depth 16,5 m) shows a four-layered type during the summer.   相似文献
