We studied copper （Cu^2＋） accumulation and physiological responses of two red algae Gracilaria lemaneiformis and Gracilaria lichenoides from China under Cu^2＋ exposure of 0-500 μg/L in concentration. Compared with G. lemaneiformis, G. lichenoides was more capable in accumulating Cu^2＋, specifically, more Cu〉 on extracellular side （cell wall） than on intracellular side （cytoplasm） and in cell organelles （especially chloroplast, cell nucleus, mitochondria, and ribosome）. In addition, G. lichenoides contained more insoluble polysaccharide in cell wall, which might promote the extracellular Cu^2＋-binding as an efficient barrier against metal toxicity. Conversely, G. lemaneiformis was more vulnerable than G. lichenoides to Cu^2＋ toxin for decreases in growth, pigment （chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, phycobiliprotein, and B-carotene） content, and photosynthetic activity. Moreover, more serious oxidative damages in G. lemaneiformis than in G. lichenoides, in accumulation of reactive oxidative species and malondialdehyde, and in electrolyte leakage, because of lower antioxidant enzyme （superoxide dismutase and glutathione reductase） activities. Therefore, G. lichenoides was less susceptible to Cu〉 stress than G. lemaneiformis.展开更多

The geological problem of the reservoir is the seepage of the dam base and its related seepage stability. The leakage of the reservoir is caused by the water head differences between the upstream and downstream of the dam. Severe seepage could decrease the engineering benefits of the reservoir. Moreover,infiltration function of water will influence the safety of the dam. Through the analysis on the granule constitute and the formation of the dam base,the types of the seepage failure apt to happen were defined and the anti-infiltration and the permissible depression ratio were determined. Using the numerical simulation software GMS,the two-dimension numerical modeling has been carried out to analyze the seepage field of the reservoir. Through the two conditions modeling with concrete impervious wall and no concrete impervious wall,the largest flow rate,single-wide seepage discharge and the max infiltration gradient of the dam base were calculated. According to the permeable depression ratio of the dam base,the seepage stability of Hongxing reservoir dam base was analyzed.展开更多

SR rates were measured continuously from 08：00 to 06：00 local time （24-h time system） on July 8-9 and October 3-4, 2010; and January 15-16 and April 11-12, 2011. Similar patterns in the diurnal variation of SR were observed on October 2-3 and April 11-12, with the maximum values at 14：00 and the minimum at 00：00. However, the diurnal dynamics of SR on July 8-9, 2010 and January 15-16, 2011 showed different patterns, with the maximum values at 08：00-10：00 on above sampling dates and the minimum at 22：00 on July 8 and at 04：00 on January 16. The daily mean values of SR approximated to the values measured at 08：00. SR fluctuated with distinct seasonal patterns. The seasonal variation was characterized by a mono-peak pattern, with the highest rate （6.18 ~mol CO2 m-2 s-1） in July and the lowest rate （0.36 ~tmol CO2 m-2 s-1） in December. The results showed that the variation of SR in mangrove wetland was mainly controlled by soil temperature, and there was no significant correlation between SR and soil water content. It also implied that the model of SR in mangrove wetland should not only consider the effect of soil temperature, but also incorporate other factors, such as water level, precipitation, microbial activity and photosynthesis, which also could affect SR.展开更多
