In this paper we describe a new method of graphically presenting rangeland monitoring data as coded time-mark continuums. This method aims to provide people with an interest in rangelands (stakeholders) with succinct information, which they need to assess rangeland condition and change. This new method graphs data for indicators of rangeland condition as time or T-marks along gradients or continuums. The ends of these continuums are reference points, which are values for indicators defining highly functional to very dysfunctional rangeland systems. The T-marks for an indicator along its continuum are also coded as to how changes relate to combinations of recent seasonal conditions and longer-term management effects. Codes are based on a two-way matrix combining ‘seasonal quality’ (e.g. rainfall in a specified period relative to the long-term record) and expected responses from land management (i.e. increase, decrease or no change relative to that predicted from seasonal quality). Monitoring data available in the Australian Collaborative Rangeland Information System were used to illustrate the use of coded T-mark continuums. We show succinctly how one indicator changed in two different rangeland regions and how multiple indicators changed within one region.

The results of a new method for estimating point and diffuse loads of rivers from analysis of monitoring data are presented (immission approach). The estimated point source loads of dissolved nitrogen, total phosphorus, and the heavy metals, cadmium, lead and zinc were compared with the loads of existing inventories. The diffuse loads of these pollutants were compared with estimations calculated on the basis of area related loads of the main diffuse sources (emission approach). Reasonable agreement was obtained in these comparisons, thus demonstrating the utility of the new method as a tool for analyzing point sources and diffuse loads of pollutants to a river system from analysis of monitoring data.

Gaussian process (GP) is a newly developed machine learning technology based on statistical theoretical fundamentals, which has successful application in the field of solving for highly nonlinear problems. Conventional methods for forecasting of non-point source pollutant load often meet great difficulty since relationship between pollutant load and its influencing factors is highly complicated nonlinear. A new method based on GP is proposed for forecasting of non-point source pollutant load. The monitoring data of a certain river since 1976 to 1990 are preformed to obtain the training samples and test samples. Nonlinear mapping relationship between non-point source pollutant load and its influencing factors can be constructed by GP learning with the training samples. The monitoring data of a certain river since 1991 to 1993 are preformed to testify the effects of the method above. The results of case studies show that the method is feasible, effective and simple to implement for forecasting of non-point source pollutant load. It has merits of self-adaptive parameters determination and better capacity for solving nonlinear small sample problems comparing with the artificial neural networks method and Support Vector Machine method. The good performance of GP model makes it very attractive for a wide range of application in environmental engineering.

Investigations which require electron microscope examination of a few specific areas of non-homogeneous tissues make random sampling of small blocks an inefficient and unrewarding procedure. Therefore, several investigators have devised methods which allow obtaining sample blocks for electron microscopy from region of tissue previously identified by light microscopy of present here techniques which make possible: 1) sampling tissue for electron microscopy from selected areas previously identified by light microscopy of relatively large pieces of tissue; 2) dehydration and embedding large numbers of individually identified blocks while keeping each one separate; 3) a new method of maintaining specific orientation of blocks during embedding; 4) special light microscopic staining or fluorescent procedures and electron microscopy on immediately adjacent small areas of tissue.
