The study of biological characteristic and population dynamic of Caspian vimba (Vimba vimba persa), in coastal waters of Caspian Sea (Mazandaran Province)

This study was conducted to determine reproduction characteristics, diet regime, age structure and population dynamics parameters of the vimba vimba persa (Pallas, 1811) in Mazandaran waters of the Caspian Sea, from October 2008 to September 2009. A total of 994 specimens were monthly collected by beach seine and cast net from six fish landings of Ramsar, Tonekabon, Chaloos, Mahmood Abad, Sari and Behshahr. Biometric characters were measured for each specimen at the laboratory. Scales were used for age determination. Sex determination and fecundity were determined. Population dynamic parameters as well as stock assessment including cohort analysis were estimated using FISAT software. The finding showed that the mean of fork length and body weight of the Caspian Vimba were 168.4±2.6 mm and 71.94±32.24 g respectively. Strong correlation was found between these two variables (a= 0.012; b = 3.047; r2 = 0.955). 92 specimens were studied from the fecundity point of view. This species was found to have more abundance in spring (esp. Apr-May). The samples composed of 397(42.6%) male, 537(57.4%) female; Overall sex ratio (M: F =1: 1.35) was significantly different from the expected 1:1 ratio (p ≤0.05). The advanced stages of maturity (4th & 5th) were found in April and May. The highest Gonadosomatic Index in female was in May and the lowest one was in July. This fish is therefore a spring spawner. The maximum absolute and relative fecundities were 34640 and 260.9, respectively; the minimum absolute and relative fecundities were 5400 and 94.5 respectively. The averages of absolute and relative fecundities were 17198±7710 and 171.85±48.8, respectively. Coefficient vacuity index was 59.2% which indicates that this fish is mesophagous. Among of living creature consumes by Caspian Vimba mollusks, 76 arthropods, worms, plants, detritus and fishes were found 32.9% , 26.7% , 13.4% , 17% , 4.4% and 1.6% respectively. The infinite fork lengths were 261 mm for females, 25mm for males and 261 mm for both sexes respectively. For population growth and mortality parameters; K ( 0.28 per year for both sexes, 0.3 per year for males, 0.33 per year for females); t0 ( -0.65 year for both sexes, -0.23 year in females, -0.51 year in males ); Φ' ( 2.28 ); Z ( 0.98 per year ); M ( 0.59 per year); F ( 0.39 per year) and Exploitation coefficient was 0.4. The analysis showed that total biomass and MSY were 1336 and 528.8 tonnes respectively.

The residue measurment of pesticide in water and biota of the Sorkhrood River in the south of the Caspian Sea

Pesticide residue is considered as a crucial factor in the fresh water ecosystem pollution of north Iran (Esp. Gillan and Mazandaran provinces). It is also regarded dangerous to the health of human being and animals. In this research , pesticide residue in 3 species of fish was gauged in stations of the Haraz river , the Sorkhrood river , and the Caspian sea. The sampeles were taken during 27 mounths (started in April 97 and ended to June 99). The maximum level of pesticide in water was found in July 98 for lindine at 12.4 ppb. The level of chlorinated pesticide residue recorded at 63 ppb in April 98. The level of. organophosphorus pesticides residue in water was at 1.75 ppb in Aug 97. The toxicity of the mentioned pesticide and bioaccomulation were taken into account in conducting this researched.

松嫩平原西部景观地球化学特征及其演化

盐渍化的发生是一个盐分动态过程，利用植物生长条件下盐分迁移模型对这个过程进行了定量模拟和预测研究，根据松嫩平原西部水、土环境特征，计算过程中综合考虑了土壤中多组分迁移及主要离子的化学作用。松嫩平原西部景观地球化学环境的演化受多种物质体系、能量体系、结构体系和功能体系的共同作用与控制。地带性气候是景观地球化学环境演化的基础动力条件；地质环境为表生地球化学元素提供了物源；地形地貌控制着表生地球化学元素的迁移方向；水文地质条件促进景观地球化学环境的演化；同时人为因素是松嫩平原西部景观地球化学环境演化的重要驱动因子。松嫩平原西部景观地球化学环境在长期的历史演化过程中，存在地质时期、土壤时期、生态时期、技术时期等演化时间尺度，并且这些尺度具有密切的相互联系。松嫩平原西部不同群落生态系统的平衡与土壤中景观地球化学元素之间具有耦合关系。景观地球化学元素的迁移和积累受地表水和潜水系统的双重影响。人类生存行为影响景观地球化学环境的演变及景观地球化学流在不同方向上强度的改变，使得景观内原始积累状况发生改变，造成不同景观带中元素迁移积累，形成不同的景观群落。植物群落与一定的景观地球化学条件相互适应，当景观中土壤及水环境条件变化时，引起群落在不同方向上的演替；反之，植物生态系统的演替过程也会影响到土壤地球化学条件的改变，二者之间存在着密切的耦合关系。松嫩平原西部干旱-半干旱的气候条件与地貌、及生态地质条件相互叠加，构成本区特殊的景观结构。在不同的景观地球化学梯度影响下，植物的生长发育状况不同，大多数植物沿景观地球化学梯度，生长状况表现为钟形曲线，这是地球化学梯度和植被生态梯度的耦合效应。生态脆弱带景观地球化学障的形成是景观地球化学分异的根本原因，由于分异造成不同的景观地球化学条件，从而引起生态梯度变化。松嫩平原西部土壤及潜水中盐分离子特别是Na+、HCO3-、Cl-离子含量高，其对植物的生长产生重要的影响。一方面，环境中过高的盐分浓度影响植物对营养物质的有序吸收，并产生毒害作用，表现在：(1)延缓土壤中营养元素的迁移和固定，(2)干扰根系对营养物质的吸收，(3)干扰植物体内营养物质的新陈代谢，减少营养物质利用的有效性。通过对盐渍化环境和非盐渍化环境下植物生长实验分析，土壤中盐分引起土壤溶液渗透势、土壤水势、植物水势及冠层水势降低，从而引起植物蒸腾作用减弱，植物的生长受到抑制，生物量明显降低。另一方面，西部土壤中高含量的代换性Na+(ESP)，是抑制植物生长的又一重大因素，其主要是影响土壤物理性状，使土壤的通透性变差，土壤持水力和水渗透率明显降低，影响根系发育和植物对土壤水分的吸收，从而间接影响植物群落的分布及演化，土壤盐渍化对松嫩平原西部景观地球化学特征起着决定性作用。松嫩平原西部景观地球化学恢复的关键是在研究区域地区地球化学障的基础上，调整破坏的地球化学流，采用生物、物理及化学措施综合进行治理，使生态系统回到平衡发育的状态。在此过程中必须坚持生产功能与保护功能相结合，人与生物控制共生的原则。根据潜水与植物生长关系模型分析，通过淋洗，可使土壤中“盐峰”接近潜水面。但在干旱-半干旱条件下，降雨很难满足淋洗的需求。为此，灌溉淋洗和洪水“淡化”成为人类和自然两种有效的调节。水利工程在调控江河湖泊自然水量及蓄洪的同时，也从根本上改变了江河、湖泊一体的环境结构，从而影响到水域景观中的景观地球化学流，使景观内水文地球化学环境发生改变。在利用水资源进行农业生产时，应进行科学合理规划和建立科学的灌溉用水管理制度，以确保西部景观地球化学环境的平衡发育及恢复。

国有企业管理者裁员决策特征及其对留岗者心理影响的研究

In China, orgnizational change and downsizing are the primary topics studied in I/O psychology and Human Resource Management. Due to the great need in reality, both theorists and practitioners raised the same questions: Does downsizing increase the organizational performance? What is the relationship between organizational downsizing strategies and survivors' psychological reations? Which factors influence managers' downsizing decision-making most? How can managers manage the process successfully? The purpose of this study is trying to answer these questions, and then to establish the downsizing decision-making model of China's SOE (State owned enterprise) managers. The hypothetical model of SOE managers' downsizing decision-making was put forward, based on a tremendous amount of literature on downsizing decision-making, especially on the downsizing decision-making model built by B. Shaw, and also based on the results of the interviews conducted to the SOE managers who have the downsizing decision-making experiences. In order to test and verify the model, 322 SOE managers were investigated by a questionnaire study. And the statistic results supported the hypothetical downsizing decision-making model. Further, 259 survivors (those who are still working in the SOEs) from 7 downsized SOEs and 1 non-downsizing SOE, were also investigated by a questionnaire study. The statistic results also supported the hypothetical downsizing decision-making model. A subsequent case study was performed upon one downsized SOE; and a deliberate focus group interview study within 6 SOE mangers from another downsized SOE was also conducted. Both fundings from the two studies surported the hypothetical model again. Thus, China's SOE managers' downsizing decision-making model was established. This China's SOE managers' downsizing decision-making model suggests the following: Firstly, the characteristics of managers'downsizing decision-making were the center of the model. Those characteristics displayed during the process of the downsizing decision planning, the participation of downsizing decision-making and the communication concerning downsizing events, were influenced by managers' sense of crisis, controlling factors out of the organization and the managing experience within it. Especially, the latter two factors were more important. Secondly, in downsizing decision-making problems, the perceived crisis of China's SOE managers was mainly influenced by the outer factors, esp. the controlling factors from the government or the high authorities, but not by the inner factors including manufacturing management, HRM skills and organizational competition strategies. Thirdly, survivors'psychological reactions (including job satisfaction, job motivation, team working cooperation, etc) were mainly influenced by the characteristics of the managers' downsizing decision-making, at the same time, also by the outer factors (including controlling and social security factors) and the inner factors (including competition strategy and HRM skills). Finally, according to the model and the results from this study, the conclusions were reached in the followings: The stronger the controlling effort upon the SOE managers, the worse the effect displayed during the downsizing process. And in order to improve the effect and quality of downsizing decision-making, SOE managers need a lot of training to ameliorate their competencies such as competition strategies and HRM skills.

Floristic notes of Sierra del Rincón Biosphere Reserve (Spain, Madrid province)

New records of vascular plants from Sierra del Rincón Biosphere Reserve and surroundings (Spain, Madrid province) are provided. It is noteworthy the presence of atlantic flora in this continental area and the different shrubby communities in different sectors with different litology: in areas with gneiss they are dominated by leguminous genisteae; where it is schistous, shale or quartzite they are heathlands.

Botany origin and protein content of homemade honeys from Galicia hives (NW Spain)

The botanic origin and the protein content of 15 honeys from small bee farms exploitations of Galicia, for family consume, were studied; the aim is to check if the protein wealth and the pollen wealth are dependent parameters. Seven honeys resulted to be Rhamnus frangula unifloral (pollen patterns with low diversity), two Castanea sativa Miller unifloral, other one heather unifloral, and five was multifloral honeys of various pollen patterns (four Castanea predominant and one Rhamnus frangula predominant). Their pollen wealth was low; eight honeys classified in the Maurizio Class I, 3 in Class II, 2 in Class III, and one in Maurizio Class IV. There has been a wide variability in its protein content (0.09- 4.83 mg prot./g honey). The relative amount of pollen from different taxa has a direct or inverse proportionality to wealth protein.

A method for semi-automated objective quantification of linear bedforms from multi-scale Digital Elevation Models

The increasing availability of large, detailed digital representations of the Earth’s surface demands the application of objective and quantitative analyses. Given recent advances in the understanding of the mechanisms of formation of linear bedform features from a range of environments, objective measurement of their wavelength, orientation, crest and trough positions, height and asymmetry is highly desirable. These parameters are also of use when determining observation-based parameters for use in many applications such as numerical modelling, surface classification and sediment transport pathway analysis. Here, we (i) adapt and extend extant techniques to provide a suite of semi-automatic tools which calculate crest orientation, wavelength, height, asymmetry direction and asymmetry ratios of bedforms, and then (ii) undertake sensitivity tests on synthetic data, increasingly complex seabeds and a very large-scale (39 000km2) aeolian dune system. The automated results are compared with traditional, manually derived,measurements at each stage. This new approach successfully analyses different types of topographic data (from aeolian and marine environments) from a range of sources, with tens of millions of data points being processed in a semi-automated and objective manner within minutes rather than hours or days. The results from these analyses show there is significant variability in all measurable parameters in what might otherwise be considered uniform bedform fields. For example, the dunes of the Rub’ al Khali on the Arabian peninsula are shown to exhibit deviations in dimensions from global trends. Morphological and dune asymmetry analysis of the Rub’ al Khali suggests parts of the sand sea may be adjusting to a changed wind regime from that during their formation 100 to 10 ka BP.
