Abstract Die Rotationsbarriere der CC‐Bindungen im 1,3‐Dimethyl‐( 1a ) und 1,3‐Di‐ tert ‐butylallen ( 1b wurde aus den in Gasphase ermittelten Racemisierungsgeschwindigkeiten zu 46.17 bzw. 46.91 kcal/mol bestimmt. Durch Vergleich mit 2‐Buten ergibt sich für die Resonanzenergie des Allyl‐Radikals ein Wert von 14.0 (abgeschätzter Fehler ± 2 kcal/mol).

The variability in the inherent optical properties along an estuary‐coast‐ocean continuum tropical Australia has been studied. study area, Fitzroy Estuary and Keppel Bay system, is a shallow coastal environment (depth < 30 m) with highly turbid waters estuary blue oceanic bay subject to macrotides. Biogeochemical (IOPs) were sampled near‐surface layer spatially across tidal phase during dry season. These determinations included continuous measurements of spectral absorption, scattering...

The dynamic interplay between physical, chemical and biological factors in the development persistence of cyanobacterial blooms impounded rivers is an important topic. Over a 3-year study period, variable climatic conditions were recorded Fitzroy River, Queensland, Australia, which typical, lowland tropical river. Post-flood turbidity reduced available light well-mixed water column to levels insufficient for growth. Only when stratified slowly sinking particles dropped from surface layer did...

Lake Hume, a critical reservoir within the Murray River system, Australia, has been identified as potential source of cyanobacteria in downstream rivers during past mega-blooms. This study aims to evaluate impact lake-level fluctuations on cyanobacterial abundance at dam outlets, with goal mitigating risk intake from hydropower and irrigation outlets periods low levels.

The effect of burrowing activities ghost shrimp (Neocallichirus limosus and Biffarius arenosus) heart urchin (Echinocardium cordatum) on the flux dissolved substances across water–sediment interface was examined by comparing transport tracer deuterium oxide (D2O) between sediments overlying water in experimental laboratory tanks with without fauna. This experiment complemented measurements diffusive naturally occurring isotopes radium (224Ra 223Ra) from into column. Despite different habits,...

In freshwater systems, phosphorus is adsorbed predominantly to clay within the sediments. Assuming a linear adsorption/desorption isotherm, rapid equilibrium adsorption, and transport by molecular diffusion, estimates are derived for (a) rates of exchange between pool in sediments dissolved water column (b) time scales re-establish after step change concentration. For oxic sediments, scale order tens days. Anoxic release much faster;the minutes. The treated sewage at Narrabri abruptly raises...

Abstract Fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and methane (CH 4 from hydroelectric water supply reservoirs are receiving increasing attention around the world with a number research groups having undertaken measurements these emissions across range lakes located in different climates landscapes. The use floating chambers (aka flux chambers) is most common technique for direct measurement fluxes. However, relative performance systems, especially chamber designs, not well documented. We report...

Subtropical systems experience occasional severe floods, dramatically altering the phytoplankton community structure, in response to changes salinity, nutrients, and light. This study examined effects of a 1:100 year summer flood on an Australian subtropical bay – Moreton Bay over 48 weeks, from January December 2011. Immediately after maximum levels were reached rivers flowing into bay, lowest highest turbidity values, more than decade, measured areal extent flood-related parameters was...
