Hydrological Effects

The long-standing debate about the problem of dryland salinity in Australia has been increasingly well informed. We chart here the deepening understanding of the processes involved in how plants use water and what this means for flows in the regolith, from the introduction of the idea of the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum 50 years ago, through the comparative patterns of water use by annual and perennial vegetation and the variety of their hydrological effects in different landscapes, to the realisation, as demonstrated by many of the papers in this special issue of AJAR, that the era of unviable simplistic solutions to dryland salinity is behind us. The mood now is one of cautious optimism that we will be able to develop a wide range of options for maintaining economically viable farming systems that protect the environment by controlling outflow well enough to arrest the spread of dryland salinity.

The paper describes the U.S. Coast Guard's efforts to establish regulations for marine vapor control systems that will maintain the safe operation of tankships, tank barges, and waterfront facilities when the more stringent air-quality standards are implemented by the Environmental Protection Agency. The reasons for the new standards are given. Marine vapor control systems are described, along with their attendant hazards. The development and nature of the Coast Guard's regulations are described and, finally, international efforts in the area are briefly reviewed.

The Stability

Structural performance is the most important index to declare the stability, safety and durability of structures in practical engineering. The performance degradation of structures becomes more and more common with the increase of service life. To ensure the safe operation of structures, the hot research has gradually changed from large-scale construction to the detection, repair, reinforcement, renovation and maintenance.
