Natural organic matter (NOM) in source water originated from Luan River and Yellow River, North China was isolated and fractionated with XAD resins and ultra-filtration membranes. The raw water samples and fractions were disinfected with sufficient monochloramine to determine their N-nitrosamines formation potentials. Fluorescence Excitation-Emission Matrix (EEM), molecular weight (MW), dissolv...

BACKGROUND Heavy metal pollution in the sediment of the Yellow River draws wide attention in the recent years. The Yellow River Wetland Nature Reserve of Zhengzhou is one of the major wetlands of the river and located at the beginning of the lower reach. In this article, we aimed to investigate the degree and the sources of the metal pollution in the reserve. METHODS Metals as Cu, Pb, Cr, Cd ...

With the support of the total output of primary industry, secondary industry and tertiary industry and industry value of cultivating industry, forestry industry, animal husbandry industry and fishery industry of 19 country-level units in Yellow River Delta in 2007, the paper calculated the variation index of economic development based on country level, the MDS analysis was explored for primary ...

The runoff and sediment of large rivers usually come from different source areas, which make different contributions to the sediment flux into the sea. This has been studied with the example of the Yellow River in China, whose suspended sediment flux into the Bohai Sea accounts for 19.4% of the world total. The drainage basin of this river can be divided into four major water and sediment sourc...

The ‘range of variability approach’ (RVA) and mapping technique are used to investigate the spatial variability of hydrologic alterations (HA) due to dam construction along the middle and lower Yellow River, China, over the past five decades. The impacts of climate variability on hydrological process have been removed during wet and dry periods and the focus is on the impacts of human activitie...

BACKGROUND Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been used as genetic marker for genome-wide association studies in many species. Gene-associated SNPs could offer sufficient coverage in trait related research and further more could themselves be causative SNPs for traits. Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is one of the most important aquaculture species in the world accounting for nearly 14% ...

On the North American Great Plains, several snake species reach their northern range limit where they rely on sparsely distributed hibernacula located in major river valleys. Independent colonization histories for the river valleys and barriers to gene flow caused by the lack of suitable habitat between them may have produced genetically differentiated snake populations. To test this hypothesis...

The river patterns comprise of straight, meandering, braided and wandering river. They are formed and developed under the action of the long-term certain sediment-water assembly and the geological condition. There are many traditional methods such as single parameter including bend coefficient, width-depth ration and multipleparameters discrimination methods, to distinguish the river pattern. I...
