14号花园 让我们来赞美和编织（生物）多样性

大自然是世间灵感之源,装点着我们的衣着和室内。这个花园聚集了多种织物和植物,力图展现它们的形态和结构。天空上,片片连缀起来的花卉和植物图案的织品象征着人类的特性及其共同的憧憬和灵感。在地面,80多种盆栽植物展现了生物多样性,与天空中的织品多样性相呼应。花园以一棵树为中心,参观者可以在大树附近坐坐。     

Adapting household water use in rural Zimbabwe

The study investigated how rural communities in semi-arid areas (1) adapt household water management to effects of climate variability and (2) how such adaptation influences household water usage and its quality. A semi-structured questionnaire was administered to 180 households between July and December 2014 to obtain demographic data on water supply and use. Microbiological quality of source and stored drinking water was determined using a Potatest field kit. In times of water scarcity, households exploited distant (>1 km) sources and stored large quantities (>60 L) of water up to >4 days. Water was re-contaminated by faecal coliforms during storage. Distance to a water source, sharing a source, type of lifting device, type of source and collector of water significantly influenced water supply across villages (p < 0.05). Villagers were more likely to draw less water at greater distances. Point-of-use water treatment and improved hygiene behaviour are recommended.     

Effect of a prenatal nutritional intervention program on initiation and duration of breastfeeding.

PURPOSE: To evaluate initiation and duration of breastfeeding of infants born to mothers who participated in the Early Childhood Initiative (ECI) program. Factors affecting the initiation and the early cessation of breastfeeding were also explored. METHODS: Twenty-five pregnant women participating in the ECI program completed this prospective study. At 36 weeks' gestation, a questionnaire was administered to assess socioeconomic status, intention to breastfeed and breastfeeding experience. When the infants were three and six months of age, feeding practices were assessed with a questionnaire. RESULTS: The breastfeeding initiation rate was 62.5%. At one and three months postpartum, exclusive breastfeeding rates were 39% and 4%, respectively. At six months, none of the women was exclusively breastfeeding. Primiparity, prenatal classes, having been breastfed and intention to breastfeed at 36 weeks' gestation were positively associated with breastfeeding initiation. Father's education, intention to breastfeed at 36 weeks' gestation, no water or formula given to the infant during hospitalization and higher maternal hemoglobin level at 36 weeks' gestation were positively associated with the duration of breastfeeding. CONCLUSIONS: The rate of initiation and duration of breastfeeding for ECI participants were low. To achieve successful interventions, it is important to target modifiable factors known to influence the initiation and duration of breastfeeding within this population.

地球化学录井技术在渤海湾地区的应用

为准确地评价渤海湾地区储集层流体性质,通过岩石热解、热解气相色谱及轻烃分析等地化录井技术在渤海湾地区的应用,建立了区域性的地化录井综合评价方法和解释标准,结合热解气相色谱谱图、轻烃组分谱图的形态,对该地区储集层的流体性质和油气层进行评价,取得了良好效果。在70多口井196层的应用中,解释符合160层,符合率达81.6%,以其中X 4井、X 3井、X 8井为例介绍了应用效果。
