Algal blooms: how are they harming models used for climate management?

18th International Conference on Harmful Algae (ICHA 2018), 21-26 October 2018, Nantes, France.-- 4 pages, 2 figuresMicroalgae blooms are generally associated with bacterial secondary producers. They produce organic matter (OM), some of which associates with the sea surface microlayer (SML). OM in the SML below the actual surface reduces fluxes of energy, including heat and momentum, and substances, including greenhouse gases, aerosols, algae, bacteria and viruses. In addition to the SML-associated OM, another OM fraction, foam (including whitecaps), often lies above the primary SML when windspeeds exceed about 5 m s-1, trapping gas bubbles. Such foam also dramatically increases albedo, reflecting solar radiation back into space, thus reducing solar heating and penetration of photosynthetically active radiation. Mean coverage of the ocean surface by foam has been measured to range between 1-6%, particularly in zones of Trade Winds. Different types of OM, and particularly their mechanical properties, depend on ambient algal abundance, as well as on taxonomic composition, as do the dynamics of foam formation and decay. Air-sea fluxes may thus be influenced by genomic control through the blooming microalgae and Darwinian-type evolution. Bacteria may also play a role. In addition, foam patches on the ocean’s surface serve as a unique microbial habitat. Such blooms, particularly when their taxonomic composition changes unpredictably, are likely to be harming the usefulness of climate models. Some of this harm might be mitigated by studying the relevant effects of these blooms on fluxes, and incorporating these effects into climate modelsJS is supported by National Nature Science Foundation of China grant (41876134) and the Changjiang Scholar Program of Chinese Ministry of Educatio

特別養護老人ホームの入所高齢者への音楽提供の現状:全国横断調査

Background: Music activities enhance residents’ enjoyment and adaptation to nursinghomes. Community music therapy promotes human relationships and a pleasant livingenvironment. However, there have been few comprehensive studies focusing on theconditions of music provision. The aim of this study was to identify the conditions,problems, and staff recognition of the effects of music provision to improve its use innursing homes through music therapy, music activities, and the concept of communitymusic therapy based on a nationwide cross-sectional survey. Method: An anonymousquestionnaire was mailed to a total of 517 randomly selected nursing homes. Questionscollected data on demographic characteristics; the planners and providers of music;objectives/ways/evaluation of music provision; respondents’ recognition of the effects ofmusic; and conditions of music activity training. We divided the respondents into musictherapy, music activity, and no music groups. Pearson’s chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test,and the Kruskal-Wallis test were used to identify differences in demographics and staffrecognition among the three groups. Among the results with significant differences, theitems of continuous variables were analyzed using the Steel-Dwass test, and the items ofthe chi-square test were further analyzed using residual analysis. Results: We collecteda total of 96 completed questionnaires. Music therapy or music activity was provided by80.2% of nursing homes. Around 50% of the nursing homes that provided music therapyhad a music therapist as a planner and provider. Care workers were most often theplanners and providers. The rate of evaluation of music provision was approximately 10%-30%. The recognition of “increased staff intimacy with residents” was significantly lowerin the no music group among the three groups in residual analysis (p<0.05), and wasapproximately 30% less than in the music activity group. Only 6.3% of the nursing homesprovided music activity training. Conclusions: The findings of the present study suggestedthat while promoting the cultivation of music therapists, education of staff in musicactivities should be developed

特別養護老人ホームの介護職員を対象とした音楽活動教育プログラムの開発 －音楽療法士と介護職員からの評価－

Background: The provision of music in nursing homes is related to the quality oflife of residents. Care workers should provide appropriate music for residents even ifmusic therapist is not available. In addition, music provision assimilating the conceptof community music therapy is important to provide well-being by improving humanrelations. This study was performed to develop a music activity training program for careworkers adopting the concept of community music therapy, based on prior research, suchas learning theory, and to evaluate its reliability, validity, and feasibility.Method: The reliability and validity of the program were investigated using an anonymousquestionnaire by five music therapists for senior adults. Music activity training was givento 17 care workers, and the effects of the program were investigated using the anonymousquestionnaires.Results: In the evaluation by music therapists, all most intraclass correlation coefficientswere ≥ 0.8. Without music experience, the feasibility was consistently considered low. Aftermusic activity training, there was a significant reduction in number of care workers whothought that “the number of people who can provide musical activities is limited,” and thedegree of understanding of the concept of community music therapy increased significantly(p < 0.05).Discussion: The evaluation results of the care workers and music therapists indicated thatthe content of the program was valid and it was deemed feasible. While care workers’knowledge and confidence regarding music activity increased slightly, it will be necessaryto adjust the content of the program and add music activity practices

A Zinc-Rich Coating Fabricated on a Magnesium Alloy by Oxide Reduction

The corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys could be enhanced by covering metallic coatings on the surface. The zinc-rich coating is one of these metallic coatings. To fabricate a zinc-rich coating on magnesium alloys, the substrate should be pretreated carefully, and a protective atmosphere is usually required. In this research, a zinc-rich coating was successfully fabricated on the AZ91D magnesium alloy in air by a diffusion alloying method, with zinc oxide as the zinc source. At the same time, the pretreatment of the magnesium alloy matrix was greatly simplified. The as-diffusion-alloyed zinc-rich intermetallic layer was investigated, utilizing SEM, EDS, and XRD, respectively. It is inferred that zinc oxide was reduced into Zn atoms by the active Mg atoms, and the Mg atoms were coming from the magnesium alloy matrix. Then the Zn atoms passed through the oxide film and formed an intermetallic layer on the magnesium alloy surface. Thus, taking advantage of the activity of Mg atoms, magnesium alloys could be surface alloyed with oxides

Isolation of a nitrate-reducing bacteria strain from oil field brine and the inhibition of sulfate-reducing bacteria

A nitrate- reducing bacteria (NRB) strain with vigorous growth, strong nitrate reduction ability, strain B9 2-1, was isolated from Suizhong36-1 oilfield, its routine identification and analysis of 16S rRNA and also the competitive inhibition experiments with the enrichment of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) were carried out. The results showed that only the dosing of nitrate, nitrite as electron acceptors, the activation of nitrate- reducing bacteria, as well as the inhibition of sulfide production resulted from a limited capacity, while addition of NRB isolated from the produced fluid, growth and sulfide production activity of sulfate reducing bacteria produced a significant inhibition and antibacterial effects of nitrite, which was better than nitrate. At the same time, the small amount of molybdate dosing showed better results, which will be of significance when applied to shipping and state-defending industries.A nitrate- reducing bacteria (NRB) strain with vigorous growth, strong nitrate reduction ability, strain B9 2-1, was isolated from Suizhong36-1 oilfield, its routine identification and analysis of 16S rRNA and also the competitive inhibition experiments with the enrichment of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) were carried out.

Study on preparation of magnesium-rich composite coating and performance enhancement by graft modification of epoxy resin

Magnesium (Mg)-rich primer is considered as a substitute for high polluted chromate treatment technology to provide cathodic protection for aluminum (Al) alloy. In this paper, Mg-rich primer with comprehensive properties was prepared by modifying epoxy resin using direct mixing. Specifically, the influence factors on the dispersion of Mg powder in epoxy, the modification of epoxy resin using organic silicones and the performance of Mg-modified epoxy composite coating were studied. The results show that Mg powder with small particle size has a better dispersion in epoxy; The mechanical property such as flexibility and impact resistance decreases with the addition of Mg powder, but which was improved when using modified epoxy as the resin matrix due to introduction of Si-O-Si flexible chain; In addition, the grafting efficiency between hydroxyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane and epoxy resin was improved because of the introduced silane coupling agent like KH550 contains amino group; The electrochemical test results indicate Mg-rich primer could provide effective electrochemical protection for Al alloy by raising the corrosion potential and reducing the corrosion current density to bare substrate,respectively
