copper activity 銅における(探鉱企業の)事業活動 Explanation: dunk-sanが提案された訳で正しいと思います。 銅の活性化で検索をかけると幾つもヒットがありますが、それは外的要因(例えば濃塩酸に銅に浸す)だけがヒットします。無論、銅活性と訳しても、後の"is focused on"は集中して、というように訳せると思いますが、ここでのContextには合わないと思います。鉱床で天然の銅を採掘する話なので、探鉱企業の事業活動の方が的を得ていると解釈できます。 |

copper activity 銅活性 Explanation: ---I can't say for sure from the limited context, but I would tend to interpret "copper activity" in your sentence as "銅活性" which is focused (集中されている)on deposits near the XX area. ----That is, there is is copper activity present in that particular area. (As opposed to this being about "business activities regarding copper.") Here are some sample websites about finding copper activities in various soils: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16781806 Abstract Copper partitioning was studied in seven calcareous soils at moisture content corresponding to 1.2 times the field moisture content (soil water potential 7.84 J kg(-1)). Copper retention was accompanied by the release in soil solution of Ca(2+), Mg(2+), Na(+), and H(+), and the total amount of these cations released was 0.8 to 1.09 times the amount of Cu sorbed (mol(c):mol(c)). The relationships between Cu activity and pH, and the balance of cations in soils correspond with the surface precipitation of CuCO(3) as the main mechanism of Cu retention. The values of ion activity product of surface precipitate were close for all studied soils with the average log(IAP(CuCO(3)))=-15.51. The relationship between copper activity in soil solutions and soil properties is well fit by a regression relating pCu (-log copper ion activity) with soil pH, total Cu, and carbonate content. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6V... Copper activity in soil solutions of calcareous soils http://www.springerlink.com/content/f27371442230704n/ Effect of copper activity on carbon and nitrogen mineralization in field-aged copper-enriched soils -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs (2010-09-09 13:29:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ----- One more thing that makes me think it is "銅活性".... ----- "Copper activity" alone would be incomplete in an English document to express the term 銅における(探鉱企業の)事業活動. ----- The most common phrase for 銅における(探鉱企業の)事業活動 would be "copper mining activities" (which gets a lot of hits.) |
