Serious BTEX pollution in rural area of the North China Plain during winter season

Atmospheric BTEX compounds(benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes) in a rural site of the North China Plain(NCP) were preliminarily investigated in winter, and the outdoor concentrations(25.8–236.0 μg/m3) were found to be much higher than those reported in urban regions. The pollution of BTEX inside a farmer's house was even more serious, with combined concentrations of 254.5–1552.9 μg/m3. Based on the ratio of benzene to toluene(1.17 ± 0.34) measured, the serious BTEX pollution in the rural site was mainly ascribed to domestic coal combustion for heating during the winter season. With the enhancement of farmers' incomes in recent years, coal consumption by farmers in the NCP is rapidly increasing to keep their houses warm, and hence the serious air pollution in rural areas of the NCP during winter, including BTEX, should be paid great attention.     

基于CYCBD和麻雀搜索算法的滚动轴承故障特征提取方法

目的解决在较强的噪声环境下最大二阶循环平稳盲解卷积(MaximumSecond OrderCyclostationary Blind Deconvolution,CYCBD)算法在滚动轴承故障特征提取时效果欠佳的问题,为滚转尾翼导弹的尾翼滚动轴承故障诊断提供方法参考。方法提出一种利用麻雀搜索算法(SparrowSearchAlgorithm,SSA)优化CYCBD算法的方法,将CYCBD算法解卷积的包络谱熵作为SSA寻优的适应度函数,利用SSA高效地寻找出合适的循环频率以及滤波器长度,选择自适应参数后,再使用CYCBD算法有效解卷得到周期脉冲特征。结果同时对比SSA优化CYCBD前后进行故障特征提取的包络谱图,CYCBD的噪声幅值不超过0.13 m/s^(2),峰值不超过0.29 m/s^(2),用SSA优化CYCBD的噪声幅值不超过0.08 m/s^(2),峰值不超过0.32 m/s^(2),故障频率成分更加突显,无论是噪声幅度,还是峰值幅度特性,均较CYCBD有了较大改善。结论仿真实验验证了SSA优化CYCBD方法能够更加清晰地辨识到故障特征频率及其倍频成分,其具有良好的工程应用前景。

The Achievement of a Decentralized Water Management Through Stakeholder Participation: An Example from the Drôme River Catchment Area in France (1981–2008)

Different water Acts (e.g., the European Water Framework Directive) and stakeholders involved in aquatic affairs have promoted integrated river basin management over recent decades. However, few studies have provided feedback on these policies. The aim of the current article is to fill this gap by exploring how local newspapers reflect the implementation of a broad public participation within a catchment of France known for its innovation with regard to this domain. The media coverage of a water management strategy in the Drôme watershed from 1981 to 2008 was investigated using a content analysis and a geographic information system. We sought to determine what public participation and decentralized decision-making can be in practice. The results showed that this policy was integrated because of its social perspective, the high number of involved stakeholders, the willingness to handle water issues, and the local scale suitable for participation. We emphasized the prominence of the watershed scale guaranteed by the local water authority. This area was also characterized by compromise, arrangements, and power dynamics on a fine scale. We examined the most politically engaged writings regarding water management, which topics of each group emphasized, and how the groups agreed and disagreed on issues based on their values and context. The temporal pattern of participation implementation was progressive but worked by fits and starts.
