Hazard tree liability in the United States: Uncertain risks for owners and professionals

The liability United States (U.S.) tree owners face from hazardous trees on their private properties has and continues to undergo a transformation. The traditional common law legal test focused upon whether a tree owner had acted to create a hazardous condition on the property. The modern trend is towards a test that imposes greater responsibility and greater uncertainty on tree owners and arborists. Abandoning the natural/artificial distinction, the modern test, adopted in half the U.S. jurisdictions, imposes general principles of negligence on tree owners. This paper discusses the U.S. legal context for hazardous trees, particularly the impacts on individual tree owners. It closes by addressing various practical means to minimize the risks associated with the modern legal standards, both for susceptible tree owners, and for professionals assessing the subject property.

Evaluation of a Thermophilic,Psychrostable, and Heavy Metal-Resistant Red Sea Brine Pool Esterase

Lipolytic enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis and synthesis of ester compounds. They are valuable in the pulp, food, and textile industries. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the extreme properties of a hormone-sensitive lipase (EstATII-TM) isolated from the Red Sea Atlantis II brine pool. EstATII-TM was cloned, expressed, and its biochemical activities were assessed under different conditions. EstATII-TM catalytic properties and resistance to different metal ions were compared to commercial thermophilic esterases under different temperatures. Phylogenetically, EstATII-TM was assigned to the GDSAG motif subfamily of hormone-sensitive lipase. The optimal enzyme activity was evident at a temperature of 30 °C and pH 7–8. The enzyme retained 84.9% of its activity at 0.5 M NaCl. EstATII-TM maintained 93% to 97% activity at −40 and −20 °C, respectively. EstATII-TM activity was significantly enhanced, up to 10-fold, at temperatures ranging from 45 to 65 °C in the presence of 1 mM Cu²⁺, Cd²⁺, Ba²⁺, Mn²⁺, and Zn²⁺. EstATII-TM showed superior catalytic activity and resistance-to/enhancement-by metal ions compared to two commercial thermophilic esterases. The Red Sea Atlantis II brine EstATII-TM is characterized by tolerance to high temperatures, stability to hot and cold conditions, as well as toxic heavy metal contamination, making it an ideal candidate for industrial processes.

郁闭林分中立木树高的重建技术研究

将立木分为枝下高与树冠高2部分,通过近距离获取枝下高图像对,用立体视觉方法重建枝下高不同部位直径与倾角,以此为基础估计树冠高部分,进而得到树木高度.试验地包括银杏、水杉2个树种,与实际树高相比,重建树高中最大误差是0.043 5,最小误差为0.007 2.其中3号树(水杉)单侧误差仅为0.002 6,表明与干曲线结合的立体视觉重建策略在恢复郁闭林分中立木树高是可行的.     

常见绿化树种对大气中二氧化硫的净化能力研究

以常州市常见绿化树种为研究对象,通过测定叶片舍硫量从而确定不同树种对大气中SO2的吸收和净化能力.结果表明,对比同一采样点不同树种叶片含硫量,发现不同绿化树种对SO2的净化能力不同;同时发现由于大气中SO2的浓度不同,不同地点同一树种的叶片舍硫量不同;常州市净化大气中SO2污染能力强的树种有杨树、枫杨、大叶女贞、撒金珊瑚、紫丁香.
