IR band intensities of DC₃N and HC₃N: Implication for observations of Titan's atmosphere     

Yves Bénilan  Antoine Jolly  Jean-Claude Guillemin 《Planetary and Space Science》2006,54(6):635-640

We have obtained the infrared spectra and the corresponding absolute band intensities for two HC₃N isotopomers: DC₃N and HC₃¹⁵N. Our results for DC₃N are in good agreement with previous measurements except for the ν₂ and ν₃ stretching modes. For HC₃¹⁵N, this study is the first including intensity measurements.We have also studied the possible detection of these isotopomers in Titan's atmosphere using the CIRS spectrograph onboard the Cassini spacecraft. Our simulation of the expected spectra shows that for a signal-to-noise ratio better than 100, the ¹⁵N isotopomer of HC₃N could be detected. But, further study of HC₃N hot bands are needed since some of them overlap the HC₃¹⁵N Q-branch.  相似文献

The European Integrated Maritime Policy: The next five years     

《Marine Policy》2015

At the time of writing, the EU has just finished appointing a new cohort of senior representatives for the period 2014–2019. This includes appointing a Commissioner with a newly defined remit for Environment, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries and the members of the various Committees of the European Parliament with competences related to maritime affairs. These individuals will invariably spend at least part of their first months in office identifying their respective priorities for the coming years. This commentary seeks to contribute to these deliberations by making concrete suggestions for priorities that might be considered as regards the future of the EU’s Integrated Maritime Policy (IMP). Seven years since its launch, the IMP remains very much a work in progress. Drawing on recent academic studies of the EU’s various ocean related policies this commentary argues that two of the greatest weaknesses of the IMP are the sectoral nature of priority-setting and strategy-making as well as the lack of a funding tool to implement its aims. Two concrete proposals are made, specifically aimed at the incoming EU leadership, which seek to address these weaknesses and to realize the aims articulated in the IMP.  相似文献   

Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of A Human Occupied Vehicle Based on Bi-Level Integrated System Collaborative Optimization     

赵敏  崔维成  李翔 《海洋工程》2015,29(4):599-610

The design of Human Occupied Vehicle (HOV) is a typical multidisciplinary problem, but heavily dependent on the experience of naval architects at present engineering design. In order to relieve the experience dependence and improve the design, a new Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) method “Bi-Level Integrated System Collaborative Optimization (BLISCO)” is applied to the conceptual design of an HOV, which consists of hull module, resistance module, energy module, structure module, weight module, and the stability module. This design problem is defined by 21 design variables and 23 constraints, and its objective is to maximize the ratio of payload to weight. The results show that the general performance of the HOV can be greatly improved by BLISCO.  相似文献   

Oxygenation episodes on the continental shelf of central Peru: Remote forcing and benthic ecosystem response     

Dimitri Gutirrez  E. Enríquez  S. Purca  L. Quipúzcoa  R. Marquina  G. Flores  M. Graco 《Progress in Oceanography》2008,79(2-4):177

The interplay between the oxygen minimum zone and remotely-forced oxygenation episodes determines the fate of the benthic subsystem off the Central Peruvian coast. We analyzed a 12 year monthly time-series of oceanographic and benthic parameters at 94 m depth off Callao, Central Peru (12°S), to analyze: (i) near-bottom oxygen level on the continental shelf in relation to dynamic height on the equator (095°W); and (ii) benthic ecosystem responses to oxygen change (macrobiotic infauna, meiofauna, and sulphide-oxidizing bacteria, Thioploca spp.). Shelf oxygenation episodes occurred after equatorial dynamic height increases one month before, consistent with the propagation of coastal trapped waves. Several but not all of these episodes occurred during El Niños. The benthic biota responded to oxygenation episodes by undergoing succession through three major ecological states. Under strong oxygen deficiency or anoxia, the sediments were nearly defaunated of macro-invertebrates and Thioploca was scarce, such that nematode biomass dominated the macro- and meiobiotas. When frequency of oxygenation events reduced the periods of anoxia, but the prevailing oxygen range was 10–20 μmol L⁻¹, mats of Thioploca formed and dominated the biomass. Finally, with frequent and intense (>40 μmol L⁻¹) oxygenation, the sediments were colonized by macrofauna, which then dominated biomass. The Thioploca state evolved during the 2002–2003 weak EN, while the macrofauna state was developed during the onset of the strong1997–1998 EN. Repeated episodes of strong oxygen deficiency during the summer of 2004, in parallel with the occurrence of red tides in surface waters, resulted in the collapse of Thioploca mats and development of the Nematode state. Ecological interactions may affect persistence or the transition between benthic ecosystem states.  相似文献   

Remote sensing of spider mite damage in California peach orchards     

Eike Luedeling  Adam Hale  Minghua Zhang  Walter J. Bentley  L. Cecil Dharmasri 《International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation》2009

Remote sensing techniques can decrease pest monitoring costs in orchards. To evaluate the feasibility of detecting spider mite damage in orchards, we measured visible and near infrared reflectance of 1153 leaves and 392 canopies in 11 peach orchards in California. Pairs of significant wavelengths, identified by Partial Least Squares regression, were combined into normalized difference indices. These and 9 previously published indices were evaluated for correlation with mite damage.  相似文献   

Comparative biomass structure and estimated carbon flow in food webs in the deep Gulf of Mexico

A budget of the standing stocks and cycling of organic carbon associated with the sea floor has been generated for seven sites across a 3-km depth gradient in the NE Gulf of Mexico, based on a series of reports by co-authors on specific biotic groups or processes. The standing stocks measured at each site were bacteria, Foraminifera, metazoan meiofauna, macrofauna, invertebrate megafauna, and demersal fishes. Sediment community oxygen consumption (SCOC) by the sediment-dwelling organisms was measured at each site using a remotely deployed benthic lander, profiles of oxygen concentration in the sediment pore water of recovered cores and ship-board core incubations. The long-term incorporation and burial of organic carbon into the sediments has been estimated using profiles of a combination of stable and radiocarbon isotopes. The total stock estimates, carbon burial, and the SCOC allowed estimates of living and detrital carbon residence time within the sediments, illustrating that the total biota turns over on time scales of months on the upper continental slope but this is extended to years on the abyssal plain at 3.6 km depth. The detrital carbon turnover is many times longer, however, over the same depths. A composite carbon budget illustrates that total carbon biomass and associated fluxes declined precipitously with increasing depth. Imbalances in the carbon budgets suggest that organic detritus is exported from the upper continental slope to greater depths offshore.The respiration of each individual “size” or functional group within the community has been estimated from allometric models, supplemented by direct measurements in the laboratory. The respiration and standing stocks were incorporated into budgets of carbon flow through and between the different size groups in hypothetical food webs. The decline in stocks and respiration with depth were more abrupt in the larger forms (fishes and megafauna), resulting in an increase in the relative predominance of smaller sizes (bacteria and meiofauna) at depth. Rates and stocks in the deep northern GoM appeared to be comparable to other continental margins where similar comparisons have been made.  相似文献   

About the Symmetry of the Upscaled Equivalent Transmissivity Tensor   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Mauro Giudici  Chiara Vassena 《Mathematical Geology》2007,39(4):399-408

This paper provides a proof of the symmetry of the equivalent transmissivity tensor computed with a method based on the solution of the balance equation at the fine scale with integrated finite differences. The basic hypotheses are that the balance equation is solved on a block assigning Dirichlet boundary conditions that vary linearly with the space coordinates and the equivalent transmissivity tensor is computed as the linear tensor relating average flux and hydraulic gradient.  相似文献

Introduction Agricultural research continues to face criticism for its shortcomings in reversing current trends toward increased poverty and natural resource degradation. While some of these criticisms would be better attributed to broader structural constraints, shortcomings of the conventional agricultural research paradigm are nevertheless apparent. Researchers continue to frame research objectives, questions and methods with limited consultation of farmers and limited consideration of othe…  相似文献
