This paper is an important part of the national "863" topic :"Reservoir dynamic model, the development environment and the forecast of remaining oil". In this paper, multi-theory, method and technology are synthesized, and sufficiently use the computer method. We use unifies of qualitative and quota, unifies of macroscopic and microscopic, unifies of dynamic and quiescent description of reservoir, unifies of comprehensive research about reservoir and physical mathematical simulation, unifies of three-dimensional and four-dimensional description of reservoir to research the reservoir of channel sand in Gudao oilfield. and we do some research about the last 10 years of the more than 30 year high pressure water injection and polymer water flooding development, dynamic changes and geologic hazard of reservoir fluid field. It discloses the distribution, genesis and controlling factors. The main innovation achievement and the understanding are: we built-up the framework of the strata and structure, and found genetic type, spatial distribution and aeolotropism of the upper Guantao member. We form the macroscopic and microscopic reservoir model of dynamic evolution, disclose the character, distribution of the macroscopic and microscopic parameter,and the relationship with remaining oil. Next we built-up the model about hydrosialite, and find the styles, group of styles, formation mechanism and controlling factors of the reservoir, disclose the affection of the hydrosialite to remaining oil, pollution of the production environment of oilfield and geologic hazard. The geologic hazards are classified to 8 styles first time, and we disclose the character, distribution law, formation mechanism and controlling factors of the geologic hazard. We built-up the model of the distribution of remaining oil in different periods of Gudao oilfield, and disclose the macroscopic and microscopic formation mechanism of remaining oil in different periods, forecast the distribution of the mobile remaining oil, and find that the main cause of the dynamic evolution of all the sub-models of reservoir fluid field is the geologic process of the reservoir development hydrodynamic force. We develop the reservoir fluid field, research of environment disaster and the description about the support theory, method and technology. The use of this theory in Gudao oilfield has obtained very good economic efficiency, and deepened and develops development geology about the continental facies fault-trough basin, and theory of geologic hazard.

The thesis deals with different aspects connected with the distribution and toxicity of PHC in crude oils in the aquatic environment and marine molluscs. Information has been gathered and presented on the present status of research in the field based on a thorough review of recent literature. It is seen from the literature that the resident time of PHC becomes lesser and lesser when crude oil is discharged in large quantities into the coastal waters where excess oxygenation light penetration, temperature availability and strong tidal currents persist. This results in the reduction of the onslaught of oil pollution. This probably shows that taxic insult of crude oil in tropical shores will be relatively lesser than that occurring in temperate and boreal waters. However, there is no record of major episodal oil pollution comparable in quantum and extent to that of Torrey Canyon or Amoco Cadiz which prevents a more reliable analysis on the issue. Considerable controversy exists on the method of estimation of PHC in seawater. However, Ultra-violet fluorescence spectroscopy has been widely recommended as an analytical tool for the determination of total hydrocarbons. Similarly representation of values as chrysene equivalents has been recognised as the most reliable method of Quantum representation.

There exists a need for potential microorganism that could facilitate effective bioremediation of crude oil pollutants in the environment. Hence it was desired to isolate a potential bacterium from marine sediment, which often experiences oil pollution and develop a bioprocess for crude oil biodegradation. In the present study the sediment deposits in the beach of Munakkal, Trichur dist, Kerala, collected immediately after the major event Tsunami in 2004 was collected and analyzed by enrichment culture technique towards isolation of potential strains that could degrade crude oil and its fractions. From the results obtained it was found that the sediment deposits harbor several bacteria with potential for degrading hydrocarbons. However, among the strains obtained, isolate no. BTTS 10 showed capabilities for utilizing both alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons and hence the same was selected for further studies.

In the present study an endeavour has been made to analyse the acute toxicity of WAFs of Bombay High crude and Light Diesel oil on commercially important bivalve species Perna viridis and Perna indica by static bioassay methods. The toxic effects of chemicals in the WAF on the organisms ; their tissues and eventually on rate functions have been elucidated. Marine oil pollution not only affects productivity and quality of marine organisms but also eventually affects the health of human population due to a possible health risk by way of consumption of oil contaminated seafood

La ricerca ha per oggetto la messa a punto e applicazione di un approccio metaprogettuale finalizzato alla definizione di criteri di qualità architettonica e paesaggistica nella progettazione di aziende vitivinicole medio-piccole, che effettuano la trasformazione della materia prima, prevalentemente di propria produzione. L’analisi della filiera vitivinicola, della letteratura scientifica, della normativa di settore, di esempi di “architetture del vino eccellenti” hanno esplicitato come prevalentemente vengano indagate cantine industriali ed aspetti connessi con l'innovazione tecnologica delle attrezzature. Soluzioni costruttive e tecnologiche finalizzate alla qualità architettonica ed ambientale, attuali dinamiche riguardanti il turismo enogastronomico, nuove funzionalità aziendali, problematiche legate alla sostenibilità dell’intervento risultano ancora poco esplorate, specialmente con riferimento a piccole e medie aziende vitivinicole. Assunto a riferimento il territorio ed il sistema costruito del Nuovo Circondario Imolese (areale rappresentativo per vocazione ed espressione produttiva del comparto vitivinicolo emiliano-romagnolo) è stato identificato un campione di aziende con produzioni annue non superiori ai 5000 hl. Le analisi svolte sul campione hanno permesso di determinare: modalità di aggregazione funzionale degli spazi costruiti, relazioni esistenti con il paesaggio, aspetti distributivi e materico-costruttivi, dimensioni di massima dei locali funzionali alla produzione. Il caso studio relativo alla riqualificazione di un’azienda rappresentativa del comparto è stato utilizzato per la messa a punto e sperimentazione di criteri di progettazione guidati da valutazioni relative alle prestazioni energetiche, alla qualità architettonica e alla sostenibilità ambientale, economica e paesaggistica. L'analisi costi-benefici (pur non considerando le ricadute positive in termini di benessere degli occupanti ed il guadagno della collettività in termini di danni collegati all’inquinamento che vengono evitati in architetture progettate per garantire qualità ambientale interna ed efficienza energetica) ha esplicitato il ritorno in pochi anni dell’investimento proposto, nonostante gli ancora elevati costi di materiali di qualità e dei componenti per il corretto controllo climatico delle costruzioni.

Herbicides are becoming emergent contaminants in Italian surface, coastal and ground waters, due to their intensive use in agriculture. In marine environments herbicides have adverse effects on non-target organisms, as primary producers, resulting in oxygen depletion and decreased primary productivity. Alterations of species composition in algal communities can also occur due to the different sensitivity among the species. In the present thesis the effects of herbicides, widely used in the Northern Adriatic Sea, on different algal species were studied. The main goal of this work was to study the influence of temperature on algal growth in the presence of the triazinic herbicide terbuthylazine (TBA), and the cellular responses adopted to counteract the toxic effects of the pollutant (Chapter 1 and 2). The development of simulation models to be applied in environmental management are needed to organize and track information in a way that would not be possible otherwise and simulate an ecological prospective. The data collected from laboratory experiments were used to simulate algal responses to the TBA exposure at increasing temperature conditions (Chapter 3). Part of the thesis was conducted in foreign countries. The work presented in Chapter 4 was focused on the effect of high light on growth, toxicity and mixotrophy of the ichtyotoxic species Prymnesium parvum. In addition, a mesocosm experiment was conducted in order to study the synergic effect of the pollutant emamectin benzoate with other anthropogenic stressors, such as oil pollution and induced phytoplankton blooms (Chapter 5).

This paper sheds new light on the determination of environmental policies in majoritarian federal electoral systems such as the U.S., and derives implications for the environmental federalism debate on whether the national or local government should have authority over environmental policies. In majoritarian systems, where the legislature consists of geographically distinct electoral districts, the majority party (at either the national or the state level) favors its own home districts; depending on the location of polluting industries and the associated pollution damages, the majority party may therefore impose sub-optimally high or low pollution taxes due to a majority bias. We show that majority bias can influence the social-welfare ranking of alternative government policies and, in some cases, may actually bring distortionary policies closer to the first-best solution.

Results of investigation of various forms of oil pollution, i.e. oil films, tar, and hydrocarbons in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean and North Indian Ocean during October-December 1980 and February-May 1981 are presented. Oil pollution was found only in regions of the heaviest ship traffic and was somewhat less than in 1976-1977. Background concentration of non-polar hydrocarbons was 8-10 ?g/l in surface waters and 14 ?g/l in the shelf zone. Infrared spectroscopy and gas-liquid chromatography indicate that hydrocarbons occurring at concentrations exceeding 50 ?g/l have composition differing from background hydrocarbons. There is considerable accumulation of hydrocarbons in the thin surface layer, and they exist in different forms close to pollution sources.
