The results showed that chl-a vertical distribution closely related to in situ hydrological and nutrient conditions. Chla-a concentration ranged from 0.22 to 0.35 mg/m 3 and 0.93-1.09 mg/m 3 in the eddy area and in the middle continental shelf area, respectively. In both areas, chl-a concentrations in deep layers were slightly higher than those in shallow layers, but was of the same order of magnitude. In summer, when a thermocline existed in the water column, highest chl-a concentrations appeared at the base of the thermocline layers in both areas. In the eddy area, chl-a concentration maximized at 3l.743 mg/m 3, and averaged l.143 mg/m 3 below 30 m depth. In the middle continental shelf area, the highest chl-a concentration was 2.120 mg/m 3, the average was 1.168 mg/m 3. The primary productivity reached 1418.76 mgC/(m 2·d) in summer and 1360.69 mgC/(m 2·d) in winter. In the eddy area, the primary productivity was 787.50 mgC/(m 2·d) in summer and 159.04 mgC/(m 2·d) in winter. Vertical carbon sinking rate from the deep layer to the bottom in both areas is also discussed in this paper.展开更多

This study reported the findings of the students＇ interactive peer learning model in the immersion programs, such as peer prompting and waiting; non-verbal expressions; correcting errors and modulating speaking volume; translation; attending to the peer interlocutor＇ s needs; and reciprocating peer assistance.展开更多

Specifically, it aims to gain an insight into cultural impact both on the Chinese university students＇ self-perceptions of communication competence in the Chinese cultural context and on the British university students＇ self-perceptions of communication competence in a Western cultural context. The findings suggest that the mainland Chinese university students＇ interdependent/independent self-construals best predict their self-perceptions of communication competence. Results indicate that both Western and Chinese social values influence the two samples＇ interdependent and independent self-construals, and the two samples＇ self-perceptions of communication competence and interdependent self-construals differ significantly展开更多
