Supervisory Monitoring Technology System for Key Drinking Water Sources in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area by CUI Fan, KOU Xinyue, FENG Youbin, XIE Yuning, HE Yingqing, ZHENG Ning

“…In order to resolve the contradiction between the high demand for water resources,water ecology and water environment in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) and the insufficient supervision capabilities in the water conservancy industry,and achieve the transformation from passive management to active management of key drinking water sources in the GBA,this paper carries out supervisory monitoring of key drinking water sources through remote sensing macro monitoring,UAV cruise monitoring,fixed-point monitoring and other intelligent monitoring technology system.The results show that:①After application of a supervisory monitoring technology system for key drinking water sources,the full-coverage,dynamic and quasi-real-time monitoring of 35 key water sources in the GBA is realized,and the risk sources and water problems can be identified efficiently.②For identifying five suspected risk sources in water source areas,namely construction projects,key river (reservoir) tributaries,temporary shipping stops,material stacking places,agricultural production activities by remote sensing macro monitoring and UAV cruise monitoring,the accuracy rate is 65.7%.③For the chlorophyll a and COD_Mnmonitoring of the water source of main Guangzhou-Dongguan-Huizhou Dongjiangbei River by remote sensing macro monitoring and artificial fixed-point monitoring during the same period,the monitoring results of the two technical means are in good agreement.Therefore,with application of the technology system in supervision and management of key drinking water sources,the smart water conservancy supervision and business management are deeply integrated,and the effective technical means for supervision and management are available.…”

Analysis of the higher education system managerial and organizational potential in the United Republic of Tanzania with the aim of implementing a model of students’ eco-awareness f... by N. A. Nikitin

“…There are 9 bachelor’s, 6 master’s and one doctoral program of training specialists in the field of natural sciences, as well as management in the field of ecology and tourism. The application of the developed training programs, as well as the model of students’ eco-awareness formation will allow to get up to 10 specialists of bachelor level (with knowledge of Russian and natural-scientific terminology) within the period of mastering the basic educational program (three years); training a specialist of master level (with knowledge of Russian and natural-scientific terminology) has a planned indicator from three to five specialists within the period of mastering the basic educational program (two years); training a specialist of doctoral level (with knowledge of Russian and natural-scientific terminology) has a planned indicator from one to two specialists. …”

Genome-scale metabolic modelling reveals interactions and key roles of symbiont clades in a sponge holobiont by Shan Zhang, Weizhi Song, Geogios Marinos, Silvio Waschina, Johannes Zimmermann, Christoph Kaleta, Torsten Thomas

“…Abstract Sponges harbour complex microbiomes and as ancient metazoans and important ecosystem players are emerging as powerful models to understand the evolution and ecology of symbiotic interactions. Metagenomic studies have previously described the functional features of sponge symbionts, however, little is known about the metabolic interactions and processes that occur under different environmental conditions. …”
