Fractionation is considered to be a necessary approach in order to obtain information about the complex composition of aquatic humus. Gel filtration has been used for this purpose for the last decade and recently ultramembrane filtration has been found useful. The two techniques are briefly described and results of a combined use of the two methods reported. The results show a poor correspondence, with regard to molecular size, between the two methods. Due to uncontrollable interaction between the gel used (Sephadex) and humus, the ultramembrane filtration technique is considered to be preferable for desalting and molecular size fractionation of aquatic humus. 相似文献

The colour of aquatic humus increases with pH. The ‘molecular weight distribution’ of a concentrated humus sample has been studied at diffrent pH-levels and ionic strength by use of a molecular sieve (Sephadex G-25) and membrane dialysis. The fraction excluded from G-25 became greater, proportionally with increasing pH, and this was apparently not affected to any great extent by the ionic strength. Membrane dialysis of acidic, alkaline and ‘natural’ samples confirmed this change of the molecular size by pH. The colour increase of aquatic humus, caused by raising pH, is associated with an increase in the size of the humus molecules. ‘Aggregation’ and condensation are proposed as possible mechanisms. 相似文献

UV-induced transformation of dissolved organic matter (DOC) is often accompanied by reduction of molecular weight and aromaticity and an increase of low-molecular weight (LMW) matter that can be utilized as a substrate by heterotrophic bacteria. Moreover, the generation of reactive transients and mineralization of DOC occurs. For a better understanding of the modification that starts after irradiation and to distinguish between possible chemical and biological modifications, we selected different natural organic matter (NOM) from Norway and Germany. The aqueous solutions were treated by UV irradiation and divided into two aliquot samples. NaN3 anti-bacterial treatment was applied to one sample, and high-pressure size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) analysis was used for both. In all samples, we found typical modifications of NOM after UV irradiation. Incubation (>7?days) of UV-irradiated NOM samples resulted in lower levels of LMW matter and increased aromaticity. Parallel to these changes of carbon fractions, an increase in bacterial cell numbers was observed. Addition of NaN3 to NOM, however, inhibited the reduction of LMW matter, indicating that microbial activity accounted for the observed changes in NOM. Analysis of the bacterial community composition by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of the amplified 16S rRNA genes revealed that bacterial communities of non-irradiated and UV-irradiated NOM were different and that UV selected for specific members of ??-proteobacteria, ??-proteobacteria, and Bacteriodetes. Our results imply that after UV-irradiation of NOM, specific bacterial members are well adapted to low pH, high LMW DOC concentrations, and oxidative stress, and therefore thrive well on UV-irradiated humic matter. 相似文献

Measurements have been made with fast-response multi-channel temperature, humidity and refractive index sensors flown to 2000 m on a tethered balloon to investigate small-scale fluctuations important in radio-wave scattering, their relation to atmospheric parameters, and their spatial variation in both one and three dimensions. Data from the three types of sensors at one point were consistent for frequencies up to about 8 Hz. Power spectra of data at various heights were computed over 0.1 to 10 Hz and generally showed slopes (on a log-log plot) close to - 5/3 above 1 Hz but ranged from –1.5 to – 3.5 at lower frequencies; in this range (f < 1 Hz) slopes were close to – 5/3 for negative Richardson number (Ri), provided temperature gradients were steeper than –1.1 °C 100 m–1 and wind shears > 1.4 x 10–2 s–1 approx. Steeper slopes were generally associated with stable atmospheric conditions but no precise relation to the above parameters was found. Spectral density was a maximum for Ri –0.75.Cross-correlations of 0.5 were frequently observed between sensors 1 m apart in orthogonal directions; in the vertical, examples of negative correlation of vapour pressure were occasionally found over this spacing. Using four sensors spaced in line over 9 m, cross-spectrum phase calculations of drift speeds were found to be consistent with measured wind speeds. The ratio of identification distance (coherence=0.6) to scale size of irregularities ranged from 0.25 to 0.5 with no apparent relation to height or meteorological parameters. 相似文献

New technology opens very interesting possibilities in regard to target adaptive radar systems. The paper illustrates this by considering a multifrequency radar concept applied to the detection and identification of ships against a sea clutter background. 相似文献

The results from two whole-catchment manipulation experiments in Norway are used to evaluate MAGIC (Model of Acidification of Groundwater In Catchments), a model of ecosystem biogeochemical response to acid deposition. MAGIC is an aggregated catchment-scale model of acidification that has been widely used in assessment activities in Europe and North America. The experiments involved artificial decrease (Reversing Acidification In Norway, RAIN) and increases (Humid Lake Acidification Experiment, HUMEX) in acidic deposition. Runoff from both sites is influenced by moderate levels of organic acids. At each site the model was calibrated to the control catchment and then applied to the manipulated catchments with only minor adjustments. The major responses in runoff chemistry to the manipulations were closely simulated by the model. Differences between simulated and observed volume-weighted annual average concentrations of all major ions were less than ±6 μequiv 1−1 for the entire 4–8 year period of prediction. Trends in response to the manipulations were correctly simulated. Most of the residual error resulted from an inability of the model to reproduce the year-to-year variability (noise) around the trends. Although such model evaluations cannot ‘prove’ the correctness of the model structure, good fits to experimental data increase confidence in model applications for assessment and management purposes. Evaluations of this sort can also identify aspects of the model that need further development. For MAGIC, these are primarily a need for improvement in the calibration of aluminium solubility and a better process basis for nitrogen dynamics. 相似文献

This review paper considers the potentials of forward scatter radio techniques as a diagnostic tool in the study of stratified turbulent layers. Seven classes of experimental techniques have been considered (beamswinging, multifrequency, vertical and horizontal field strength correlation, coupling loss, pulse delay and bandwidth measurements). All these techniques with the exception of bandwidth and delay experiments measure directly or indirectly the irregularity spectrum of refractive index. Bandwidt hand delay distributions are determined by the vertical distribution of the refractivity irregularities. Thus for the purpose of obtaining information about a layered structure where our interest is focused on the vertical refractivity distribution rather than on the averaged spectral properties of the structure, the last two categories of experiments appear to represent a powerful tool. If one is interested in the spectral properties, multifrequency and beamswinging experiments are of great potential value whereas other experiments such as that measuring coupling loss are largely influenced by pure refraction effects. 相似文献

Twentyfive years of research on the effects of acid rain on rivers and lakes has, to a very small extent, documented changes in the nature and properties of natural organic matter (NOM). In Western Norway, a "whole-watershed-artificial-acidification-experiment" took place in the period 1988–1996. The goals of this long-term experiment were to study the role of NOM in acidification of surface water and the effects of acid precipitation on the quality and properties of NOM. In the HUMEX project (Humic Lake Acidification Experiment) one half of a lake and the corresponding catchment was artificially acidified with H2SO4 and NH4NO3 over a period of 5 years. The other half of the lake and catchment served as a control. In addition to monitoring of the general chemical composition of the water from the two lake halves, a number of other chemical and biological characteristics were studied. Here, we report the results related to changes in the nature and chemical properties of NOM. During the first few years of acidification, a significantly lower concentration of NOM was recorded in the acidified half of the catchment, compared with the control. However, statistical analyses of all data (covering a 2-years pre-treatment period and 5 years of treatment) related to the concentration of NOM (TOC, colour, and UV absorbance) did not suggest any significant effect on the quantity of NOM. This apparent discrepancy between the initial decrease in the concentration of NOM and no effect when the whole 5-years period is considered, may be due to the results of two different simultaneous processes. The results suggest that there first was a reduction of TOC and colour, as a consequence of the acidification, followed by an increase, perhaps owing to increased fertilisation (nitrogen) and in addition to a general temperature increase during the period. In addition, short-term studies of the aquatic surface microlayers, lipophilicity of the NOM, content of organic sulfur, and molecular size indicate differences in the quality of the NOM between the two lake halves, which could affect light absorption. 相似文献
