Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the Estuaries of Two Rivers of the Sea of Japan
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the Estuaries of Two Rivers of the Sea of Japan Tatiana Chizhova 1,*, Yuliya Koudryashova 1, Natalia Prokuda 2, Pavel Tishchenko 1 and Kazuichi Hayakawa 3 1 V.I.Il’ichev Pacific Oceanological Institute FEB RAS, 43 Baltiyskaya Str., Vladivostok 690041, Russia; [email protected] (Y.K.); [email protected] (P.T.) 2 Institute of Chemistry FEB RAS, 159 Prospect 100-let Vladivostoku, Vladivostok 690022, Russia; [email protected] 3 Institute of Nature and Environmental Technology, Kanazawa University, Kakuma, Kanazawa 920-1192, Japan; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +7-914-332-40-50 Received: 11 June 2020; Accepted: 16 August 2020; Published: 19 August 2020 Abstract: The seasonal polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) variability was studied in the estuaries of the Partizanskaya River and the Tumen River, the largest transboundary river of the Sea of Japan. The PAH levels were generally low over the year; however, the PAH concentrations increased according to one of two seasonal trends, which were either an increase in PAHs during the cold period, influenced by heating, or a PAH enrichment during the wet period due to higher run-off inputs. The major PAH source was the combustion of fossil fuels and biomass, but a minor input of petrogenic PAHs in some seasons was observed. Higher PAH concentrations were observed in fresh and brackish water compared to the saline waters in the Tumen River estuary, while the PAH concentrations in both types of water were similar in the Partizanskaya River estuary, suggesting different pathways of PAH input into the estuaries. -

Dynamics of Disintegration: The Later Han Empire (25-220CE) & Its Northwestern Frontier Abstract As a frontier region of the Qin-Han (221BCE-220CE) empire, the northwest was a new territory to the Chinese realm. Until the Later Han (25-220CE) times, some portions of the northwestern region had only been part of imperial soil for one hundred years. Its coalescence into the Chinese empire was a product of long-term expansion and conquest, which arguably defined the egionr 's military nature. Furthermore, in the harsh natural environment of the region, only tough people could survive, and unsurprisingly, the region fostered vigorous warriors. Mixed culture and multi-ethnicity featured prominently in this highly militarized frontier society, which contrasted sharply with the imperial center that promoted unified cultural values and stood in the way of a greater degree of transregional integration. As this project shows, it was the northwesterners who went through a process of political peripheralization during the Later Han times played a harbinger role of the disintegration of the empire and eventually led to the breakdown of the early imperial system in Chinese history. -

The Confusing Identity of Pternopetalum Molle (Apiaceae)
Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2008, 158, 274–295. With 15 figures The confusing identity of Pternopetalum molle (Apiaceae) LI-SONG WANG1,2* 1State Key Laboratory of Systematics and Evolutionary Botany, Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xiangshan, Beijing 100093, China 2Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100039, China Received 25 April 2006; accepted for publication 24 June 2008 The misapplication of the name Pternopetalum molle (Franch.) Hand.-Mazz. has resulted in considerable taxonomic confusion in the genus, involving 11 names belonging to seven taxa (according to a recent treatment). A supplementary taxonomic revision of P. botrychioides (Dunn) Hand.-Mazz., P. molle and P. vulgare (Dunn) Hand.-Mazz. is presented, after a detailed examination of the morphological variation. Four new synonyms, P. longicaule var. humile R.H.Shan & F.T.Pu, P. molle var. dissectum R.H.Shan & F.T.Pu, P. radiatum (W.W.Smith) P.K.Mukherjee and P. trifoliatum R.H.Shan & F.T.Pu, are proposed. Pternopetalum delicatulum (H.Wolff) Hand.- Mazz. should be reduced to P. botrychioides rather than P. radiatum. The previous taxonomic treatments of P. cuneifolium (H. Wolff) Hand.-Mazz., P. cartilagineum C.Y.Wu ex R.H.Shan & F.T.Pu and P. molle var. crenulatum R.H.Shan & F.T.Pu are reinstated. A key and distribution maps are provided for the accepted species. © 2008 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2008, 158, 274–295. ADDITIONAL KEYWORDS: East Asia – morphology – taxonomic revision – Umbelliferae. INTRODUCTION subfamily Apioideae (Pu, 1985; Pimenov & Leonov, 1993), two morphological characters, petals saccate at Pternopetalum Franch., one of the largest genera of the base and umbellules usually with only 2–3(–4) Apiaceae in Asia (Pimenov & Leonov, 2004), includes flowers (Shen et al., 1985; Pu, 2001; Pu & Phillippe, about 20–32 taxa which occur in South Korea, Japan, 2005), make it relatively easy to identify. -

Received: 6 May 2019; Accepted: 24 June 2019; Published: 27 June 2019 Abstract: Conducting water resource assessment and forecasting at a basin scale requires effective and accurate simulation of the hydrological process. However, intensive, complex human activities and environmental changes are constraining and challenging the hydrological modeling development and application by complicating the hydrological cycle within its local contexts. Six sub-catchments of the Yellow River basin, the second-largest river in China, situated in a semi-arid climate zone, have been selected for this study, considering hydrological processes under a natural period (before 1970) and under intensive human disturbance (2000–2013). -

Environmental Flow Requirements for Integrated Water Resources
Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation 14 (2009) 2469–2481 www.elsevier.com/locate/cnsns Environmental flow requirements for integrated water resources allocation in the Yellow River Basin, China Z.F.

Chen b a State Key Laboratory of Water Environment Simulation, School of Environment, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China b National Laboratory for Complex Systems and Turbulence, Department of Mechanics, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China Received 9 May 2007; received in revised form 16 October 2007; accepted 12 December 2007 Available online 29 February 2008 Abstract Based on the classification and regionalization of the ecosystem, multiple ecological management objectives and the spatial variability of the environmental flow requirements of the Yellow River Basin were analyzed in this study. The sum- mation rule was used to calculate water consumption requirements and the compatibility rule, i.e., ‘‘maximum” principle, was also adopted to estimate the non-consumptive use of water in the river basin. The environmental flow requirements for integrated water resources allocation were determined by identifying the natural and artificial water consumption in the Yellow River Basin. The results indicated that the annual minimum environmental flow requirements amounted to 317.62 Â 108 m3, which represented 54.76% of the natural river flows, while for the environmental flow requirements for the integrated water resources allocation were 262.47 Â 108 m3, which represented 45.25% of the natural river flows. The highest percentage of environmental flow requirements was 93.64% for the river ecosystem.
