不同含水量细砂介质中挥发苯的有效扩散系数研究

挥发性有机污染物在土壤多孔介质中的有效扩散系数是土壤气相抽提(soil vapor extraction,SVE)传质过程中的一个重要参数.笔者以苯为研究对象,采用土柱扩散试验,对不同含水量条件下挥发苯在细砂介质中的有效扩散系数和扩散规律进行研究.结果表明,对于吸附型矿物含量少的细砂介质,含水量大小在一定程度上影响了挥发苯的扩散过程.含水量在50 g·kg-1时,扩散最快;低于50 g·kg-1时,随含水量增大扩散能力增强;高于50 g·kg-1时,扩散能力则随含水量增大而减弱.同一扩散柱中,随着扩散距离增加,挥发苯的有效扩散系数增大,这可能与其蒸汽分压降低有关.     

冻融作用下盐碱水田土壤含水率和氮素对有机碳影响研究

选择吉林西部前郭县盐碱水田土壤,进行实验室模拟冻融实验：以-5℃冻结1 d、5℃消融1 d作为1次冻融循环,揭示不同含水率和含氮量处理条件下土壤有机碳（SOC）的变化规律。结果表明,土壤含水率和含氮量是影响SOC含量的2个重要因素,冻融次数、土壤含水率、土壤含氮量以及冻融次数和土壤含水率、冻融次数和土壤含氮量的交互作用对盐碱水田SOC含量的影响显著（P〈0.05）。在1~3次冻融循环过程中,SOC含量明显降低,随着循环次数的增加,SOC含量降低速度减缓;适量的氮素和较低的含水率有利于SOC的稳定,初始含水率为50%的SOC含量明显低于含水率30%和40%的土壤,加入20%硝酸铵的SOC含量明显低于对照组和加入10%硝酸铵的土壤。研究结果对深入研究季节冻土区冻融期盐碱水田SOC变化规律,评估全年候SOC储量有重要意义。     

冻融作用下寒温带针叶林土壤碳氮矿化过程研究

以大兴安岭落叶松林土壤为研究对象,设置8℃恒温和-5-8℃冻融循环（1个冻融循环为在-5℃培养24 h,后在8℃培养24 h）2个处理,进行30 d的室内培养实验,探讨了寒温带针叶林土壤在冻融交替时期的碳氮矿化过程及其相互关系。结果表明,培养温度和培养时间对土壤碳矿化速率和碳矿化累积量均有显著影响。第1次和第5次冻融循环后,冻融处理土壤的碳矿化速率显著高于恒温培养下土壤的碳矿化速率;第7次和第15次冻融循环后,冻融土壤碳矿化累积量显著低于恒温土壤的碳矿化累积量。土壤氮矿化速率没有受到培养温度、培养时间以及二者交互作用的影响,但培养时间和培养温度对土壤净氮矿化累积量有显著的影响。第5、7、15次冻融循环后,冻融处理的土壤无机氮净矿化累积量低于恒温培养的土壤无机氮净矿化累积量。经过30 d的培养,恒温处理下的土壤碳、氮矿化累积量（碳累积量：92.82μg·g-1,氮累积量73.76 mg·kg-1）是冻融处理下（碳累积量：65.51μg·g-1,氮累积量33.45 mg·kg-1）的1.42倍和2.21倍。土壤碳矿化累积量与土壤净氮矿化累积量均为正相关关系,但在相同的碳释放量下冻融循环处理土壤累积的无机氮较少。以上结果表明,冻融循环减少了大兴安岭寒温带落叶松林土壤碳排放和无机氮的累积,有利于土壤碳的固持和减少养分的流失。     

Chloride and atrazine transport through saturated soil columns

A possible contamination of water resources by the application of pesticides is a problem confronting many irrigated areas in arid and semi-arid areas. The best management practices have to be adopted to minimize pesticide transport and leaching under irrigated conditions. Atrazine dissipation in loam and sandy loam soils has been tested in the laboratory using disturbed soil columns under saturated flooding conditions. All the experiments were performed in replicates. The chloride transport was also studied to test its behavior as an inert tracer in both the soils. Atrazine and chloride breakthrough curves were analyzed with the parameter optimization program CXTFIT to determine transport parameters including pore-water velocity (v), retardation coefficient (R), hydrodynamic dispersion coefficient (D), and pulse duration (t _o ). The pore-water velocity and pulse duration of the solute were estimated from the experimental conditions and kept constant during the optimization procedure. The results indicated that the R of chloride was not significantly different from 1, indicating that chloride is an inert tracer for the types of soil tested in this study. The average R of atrazine was 4.56 and 3.15 for sandy loam and loam soils, respectively. Results also showed that the hydrodynamic dispersion coefficient was much higher in the case of sandy loam soil compared to the loam soil for the two solutes, thus indicating non-equilibrium transport conditions. In the case of chloride, D increased from 0.4 for the loam soil to 16.2?cm²/min for the sandy loam soil. Similar results were observed in the case of atrazine in which D for the sandy loam soil was 60% higher than that for the loam soil. More atrazine leaching is expected under field conditions due to the presence of soil cracks and macropores.     

Neural network modeling of dissolved oxygen in the Gru?a reservoir, Serbia

The objective of this study is to develop a feedforward neural network (FNN) model to predict the dissolved oxygen in the Gru?a Reservoir, Serbia. The neural network model was developed using experimental data which are collected during a three years. The input variables of the neural network are: water pH, water temperature, chloride, total phosphate, nitrites, nitrates, ammonia, iron, manganese and electrical conductivity. Sensitivity analysis is used to determine the influence of input variables on the dependent variable. The most effective inputs are determined as pH and temperature, while nitrates, chloride and total phosphate are found to be least effective parameters. The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is used to train the FNN. The optimal FNN architecture was determined. The FNN architecture having 15 hidden neurons gives the best choice. Results of FNN models have been compared with the measured data on the basis of correlation coefficient (r), mean absolute error (MAE) and mean square error (MSE). Comparing the modelled values by FNN with the experimental data indicates that neural network model provides accurate results.     

Prediction of longitudinal dispersion coefficients in natural rivers using artificial neural network

An artificial neural network (ANN) model is developed for predicting the longitudinal dispersion coefficient in natural rivers. The model uses few rivers’ hydraulic and geometric characteristics, that are readily available, as the model input, and the target output is the longitudinal dispersion coefficient (K). For performance evaluation of the model, using published field data, predictions by the developed ANN model are compared with those of other reported important models. Based on various performance indices, it is concluded that the new model predicts the longitudinal dispersion coefficient more accurately. Sensitive analysis performed on input parameters indicates stream width, flow depth, stream sinuosity, flow velocity, and shear velocity to be the most influencing parameters for accurate prediction of the longitudinal dispersion coefficient.     

Some body fluid characteristics of the Antarctic fish,Trematomus bernacchii

An examination of some characteristics of the blood plasma and urine of Trematomus bernacchii, an Antarctic fish, shows that at least in certain seasons the freezing points of these fluids are adjusted in response to environmental temperature. During October and November, freezing point of the urine was found to be about 0.7°C higher than that of the water. Adjustment of freezing point is seen to be intimately related to chloride concentration. At high temperatures magnesium concentration in the urine may be quite high; sodium replaces magnesium under cold stress. During cold stress, sodium and chloride move into the urine independently of each other.     

Mass-transfer processes of chromium(VI) adsorption onto guava seeds

The chromium(VI) biosorption onto guava seeds, as an alternative method for Cr⁶⁺ removal from aqueous solutions, was investigated. The parameters affecting kinetics and equilibrium of Cr⁶⁺ adsorption onto guava seeds were studied. An external mass-transfer diffusion coefficient k and intra-particle diffusion coefficient k_i were determined to measure the rate-limiting step of adsorption. A single external mass-transfer diffusion model and intra-particle diffusion models were used. The effects of initial pH, sorbent mass, and initial Cr⁶⁺ concentrations on mass-transfer coefficients were investigated. The external mass-transfer coefficient has an average value of 7.2×10^-3 cm s^-1, while the intra-particle mass-transfer diffusion coefficient was 0.34 mg g^-1 min^-0.5. This indicates that external diffusion to the guava seeds surface and intra-particle diffusion are both involved in the sorption process. The isotherm equilibrium data were well fitted by the Langmuir and Freundlich models with an average correlation coefficient R²=0.98. The maximum removal of Cr⁶⁺ was obtained at pH 1 (about 100% for adsorbent dose of 15 g l^-1 and 25 mg l^-1 initial concentration of Cr⁶⁺). The results indicated that the guava seeds exhibit acceptable sorption capacity.     

Experimental analysis of Froude number effect on air entrainment in the hydraulic jump

A hydraulic jump is characterized by strong energy dissipation and mixing, large-scale turbulence, air entrainment, waves, and spray. Despite recent pertinent studies, the interaction between air bubbles diffusion and momentum transfer is not completely understood. The objective of this paper is to present experimental results from new measurements performed in a rectangular horizontal flume with partially developed inflow conditions. The vertical distributions of the void fraction and the air bubbles count rate were recorded for inflow Froude number Fr ₁ in the range from 5.2 to 14.3. Rapid detrainment process was observed near the jump toe, whereas the structure of the air diffusion layer was clearly observed over longer distances. These new data were compared with previous data generally collected at lower Froude numbers. The comparison demonstrated that, at a fixed distance from the jump toe, the maximum void fraction C _max increases with the increasing Fr ₁. The vertical locations of the maximum void fraction and bubble count rate were consistent with previous studies. Finally, an empirical correlation between the upper boundary of the air diffusion layer and the distance from the impingement point was derived.

Biosorption of Direct Yellow 12 from aqueous solution using green alga Ulva lactuca

The potential of commonly available green alga Ulva lactuca was investigated as viable biomaterials for removal of synthetic azo dye (Direct Yellow 12, DY-12) from aqueous solution. The results obtained from the batch experiments revealed that the ability of the U. lactuca to remove DY-12 from its aqueous solution was dependent on the dye concentration, pH, and algal biomass but less dependent on the particle size of the U. lactuca. The equilibrium conditions and kinetics of adsorption were investigated, and the adsorption kinetic was consistent with the pseudo-second-order model (R ²=1). The adsorption isotherm followed only the Freundlich model with a correlation coefficient R ²=0.99. This study demonstrated that the U. lactuca could be used as an effective biosorbent for the removal of DY-12 from its aqueous solution.

Comparative study of different advective schemes: Application to the MECCA model

A 3-D version of the MECCA model (Model of Estuarine and Coastal Circulation Assessment) is used to simulate the dynamics of the Eastern part of the English Channel. This area is characterized by a strong tidal turbulent regime and a frontal zone identified near the French coast by a low-salinity band. The model uses the upwind scheme to approximate the advective terms. Results show that the model overestimates the band width of the frontal zone and that this anomaly is definitely caused by the numerical diffusion introduced by the so-called upwind scheme (first-order approximation). In this paper, we study the flux-limiter schemes as an alternative to the upwind method in order to reduce this non-physical diffusion. To illustrate the improvements provided by this type of schemes, a comparison in 2-D schematic cases is made between the upwind and centered scheme with more recent higher-order schemes combined with limiter namely Minmod, Superbee, Van Leer and Monotonized Centered (MC) (called also MUSCL scheme). Respecting the CFL condition, our numerical simulations show that the flux-limiter schemes reduce the numerical diffusion and eliminate the oscillations caused by the non-limited higher-order schemes. For the schematic and realistic cases, the Superbee limiter is a good compromise between shape preservation and computational cost.

Mitochondrial dysfunction,impaired oxidative-reduction activity,degeneration, and death in human neuronal and fetal cells induced by low-level exposure to thimerosal and other metal compounds

Thimerosal (ethylmercurithiosalicylic acid), an ethylmercury (EtHg)-releasing compound (49.55% mercury (Hg)), was used in a range of medical products for more than 70 years. Of particular recent concern, routine administering of Thimerosal-containing biologics/childhood vaccines have become significant sources of Hg exposure for some fetuses/infants. This study was undertaken to investigate cellular damage among in vitro human neuronal (SH-SY-5Y neuroblastoma and 1321N1 astrocytoma) and fetal (nontransformed) model systems using cell vitality assays and microscope-based digital image capture techniques to assess potential damage induced by Thimerosal and other metal compounds (aluminum (Al) sulfate, lead (Pb)(II) acetate, methylmercury (MeHg) hydroxide, and mercury (Hg)(II) chloride) where the cation was reported to exert adverse effects on developing cells. Thimerosal-associated cellular damage was also evaluated for similarity to pathophysiological findings observed in patients diagnosed with autistic disorders (ADs). Thimerosal-induced cellular damage as evidenced by concentration- and time-dependent mitochondrial damage, reduced oxidative–reduction activity, cellular degeneration, and cell death in the in vitro human neuronal and fetal model systems studied. Thimerosal at low nanomolar (nM) concentrations induced significant cellular toxicity in human neuronal and fetal cells. Thimerosal-induced cytoxicity is similar to that observed in AD pathophysiologic studies. Thimerosal was found to be significantly more toxic than the other metal compounds examined. Future studies need to be conducted to evaluate additional mechanisms underlying Thimerosal-induced cellular damage and assess potential co-exposures to other compounds that may increase or decrease Thimerosal-mediated toxicity.

几种抗生素对蛋白核小球藻的时间毒性微板分析法

抗生素在不同的暴露时间可能具有不同的毒性变化规律。本文以蛋白核小球藻(C.pyrenoidosa)为受试生物,96孔微板为暴露实验载体,5种抗生素硫酸安普霉素、氯霉素、双氢链霉素、硫酸新霉素和硫酸链霉素为研究对象,通过在C.pyrenoidosa生长周期内选取6个暴露时间节点(即0、12、24、48、72和96 h),建立了抗生素在不同暴露时间对C.pyrenoidosa生长抑制毒性的微板测试方法(简称T-MTA),并应用T-MTA方法系统测定了5种抗生素对C.pyrenoidosa在不同暴露时间的生长抑制毒性。结果表明,抗生素对C.pyrenoidosa生长抑制毒性具有明显的时间依赖特征,即在开始的时候基本无毒性,而后毒性迅速增加,然后毒性增加速度减慢;不同抗生素的毒性随着暴露时间的延长增加速率不同;同一暴露时间内,5种抗生素对C.pyrenoidosa的毒性大小不同;且毒性顺序随着暴露时间延长而发生变化。

Combined effect of the chlorides of mercury and copper in sea water on the euryhaline amphipod Gammarus duebeni

The possible interactive effect of the chlorides of copper and mercury on the euryhaline amphipod Gammarus duebeni in 100% sea water was examined using the following indices: (i) 96 h LC50 values, (ii) urine production rates and (iii) degree of mercury accumulation. Both (a) the interaction of the chlorides of mercury and copper together in solution and (b) the influence of cupric chloride pre-treatment of individuals prior to exposure to mercuric chloride were investigated. Presence of a sublethal level of cupric chloride protected G. duebeni against the toxic action of mercuric chloride. Cupric chloride pretreatment was not so effective. The nature of the interaction between mercury and copper is discussed.
