Instrumentos de gestão das águas

Avalia o grau de implantação dos instrumentos de Política Nacional de Recursos Hídricos, após dezoito anos do advento da Lei das Águas, incluindo a discussão sobre seus aspectos positivos e negativos. O documento foi organizado com base na leitura de vários artigos sobre a matéria, citados nas referências bibliográficas, bem como nas informações e sugestões advindas de diversos especialistas, obtidas a partir de palestras proferidas no Centro de Estudos e Debates Estratégicos (Cedes) e de uma consulta pública feita por e-mail a vários integrantes do Singreh. Também se faz uma breve análise sobre a crise hídrica ocorrida em 2014. Ao final, o estudo propõe acréscimos e alterações de dispositivos pontuais da Lei nº 9.433/1997, com a finalidade de suprir omissões e corrigir imperfeições nela observadas.

Preliminary comparison of natural versus model-predicted recovery of vessel-generated seagrass injuries in Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary

Each year, more than 500 motorized vessel groundings cause widespread damage to seagrasses in Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS). Under Section 312 of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA), any party responsible for the loss, injury, or destruction of any Sanctuary resource, including seagrass, is liable to the United States for response costs and resulting damages. As part of the damage assessment process, a cellular automata model is utilized to forecast seagrass recovery rates. Field validation of these forecasts was accomplished by comparing model-predicted percent recovery to that which was observed to be occurring naturally for 30 documented vessel grounding sites. Model recovery forecasts for both Thalassia testudinum and Syringodium filiforme exceeded natural recovery estimates for 93.1% and 89.5% of the sites, respectively. For Halodule wrightii, the number of over- and under-predictions by the model was similar. However, where under-estimation occurred, it was often severe, reflecting the well-known extraordinary growth potential of this opportunistic species. These preliminary findings indicate that the recovery model is consistently generous to Responsible Parties in that the model forecasts a much faster recovery than was observed to occur naturally, particularly for T. testudinum, the dominant seagrass species in the region and the species most often affected. Environmental setting (i.e., location, wave exposure) influences local seagrass landscape pattern and may also play a role in the recovery dynamics for a particular injury site. An examination of the relationship between selected environmental factors and injury recovery dynamics is currently underway. (PDF file contains 20 pages.)

超声速化学反应流动中燃料预喷研究述评

研制基于超声速燃烧的高效吸气式推进装置(运行Mach数在3.5以上)需要寻求改善混合效率的有效机制,这对于采用常规碳氢燃料(特别是可以增加密度的液体燃料)的装置尤为重要.延长混合时间的一种途径是在飞行器燃料室的上游喷入部分燃料.壁面喷射一直是超声速气动力学最具挑战性的课题,这里包括使比冲损失最小、改善燃料-空气的混合、减少入口段/燃烧室的相互作用以及增进火焰稳定性等.综述了超声速入口段或燃烧室的隔离器中液体燃料(个别情况下为气体燃料)喷射的研究进展.在这些研究中,燃料都是从后掠型细支架尾迹中的壁面处喷射出来的,动压比很低(qjet/qair=0.6～1.5).它们涉及入口段和燃烧室的隔离器中单个支架/喷射器的几何结构及其组合方式、各种各样的喷射条件、不同的引射剂,并且评估了这些因素对于燃料羽流喷散、比冲损失以及混合效率的影响.述评引用了46篇参考文献.

Fisheries development in Nigeria with special reference to Cross River State

The paper appraises fisheries development in Nigeria with specific reference to Cross River State and the problems militating against increased fish production. The potential for developing the industry to supplement the low level of animal protein consumption in Nigeria is discussed as well as the import of a vibrant fishery industry to contribute to the employment and international trade. The need to legislate on fisheries activities while enforcing the existing laws for sustainable exploitation of the fisheries resources is elaborated. Similarly, the need to maximize the proceeds from Nigeria's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) by protecting the operations of this economic sector and other unauthorized fishing practices is elucidated. In view of the present situation where most of the country's water bodies have been over-fished, more attention and emphasis should be placed on aquaculture development. The paper also proffers recommendations to boost fish production in capture and culture fisheries

Comparison of extruded and non-extruded soy meals in the diet of genetically improved mudfish Heterobranchus longifilis juveniles

Raw soybeans were subjected to three different processing methods viz Parboiling, Toasting and Extrusion with an Intra Pro Extruder. The processed soybean meals were thereafter incorporated at equal levels into the diets of genetically improved mudfish Heterobranchus longifilis juveniles. The fish were fed the experimental diets in triplicate at 5% of their body weight for eight weeks. The growth performance and food utilization indices, namely Mean Weight Gain (MWG), Food Conversion Ratio (FCR), Specific Growth Rate (SGR%) and Protein Efficient Ratio (PER), were monitored bi-weekly. The results show that fish fed the control fishmeal diets were highest in growth performance, which was significantly different (P>0.05) from others. Among the fish fed the test diets, those fed toasted soybean had higher MWG, SGR, FCR and PER than juveniles fed the parboiled soybean diet. The juveniles fed the extruded soybean diet recorded the least growth performance. The implication of these results in diet formulation is discussed
