Rain‐washing of mimic®, RH‐5992, from balsam fir foliage following application of two formulations

Abstract

Two formulation concentrates of the insecticide, RH‐5992 [N'‐t‐butyl‐N'‐(3,5‐dimethylbenzoyl)‐N‐(4‐ethylbenzoyI) hydrazine], an aqueous flowable (2F) and an emulsion‐suspension (ES), were diluted with water to provide spray mixes containing dosage rates ranging from 35 to 150 g of the active ingredient (AI)/ha. The mixes were sprayed in a laboratory chamber, onto balsam fir branch tips collected from field trees and greenhouse‐grown seedlings. Droplet spectra and spray mass recovery were determined on artificial samplers. Simulated rainfall of two different intensities was applied at different rain‐free periods, and rain droplet sizes were determined. Foliar washoff of RH‐5992 was assessed after application of different amounts of rain, and the increase in soil residues was evaluated.

A direct relationship was indicated between the amount of rainfall and RH‐5992 washoff. The larger the rain droplet size, the greater the amount washed off. Longer rain‐free periods made the deposits more resistant to rain. Regardless of the amount of rainfall, rain droplet size and rain‐free period, foliar deposits of the 2F formulation were washed off to a greater extent than the ES formulation. The increase in soil residues due to foliar washoff was greater for the 2F than for the ES formulation. The deposits of the emulsion‐suspension were consistently more resistant to rain‐washing than those of the aqueous flowable formulation.     

近50年来云贵高原太阳辐射变化特征及影响

到达地面的太阳辐射变化会对气候和生态环境产生较大影响。用云贵高原1961～2009年日射站辐射和气象观测资料，对多年来到达地面太阳总辐的年和季节变化趋势，及辐射变化对气候要素的影响进行了分析。结果表明：1961~1988年，总辐射呈明显下降趋势，之后发生逆转，1988~1994年总辐射呈显著上升趋势，1994年后其变化趋于缓和。总体呈现变暗－变亮－变缓的趋势。各季节总辐射变化的趋势为，秋季变化趋势极显著，春季变化的趋势显著，夏季变化的趋势较显著，冬季变化不明显。高原日照时数变化趋势与总辐射经历的变暗－变亮－变缓在时间上基本一致。总辐射变化对该地区的最高气温影响显著，但对蒸发量的影响不太明显。影响年辐射变化的各因子中，云量是影响高原总辐射变化的主要因素，相对湿度和能见度则影响较小     

生物强化组合工艺处理河水的三维荧光及生物多样性分析

通过对受污染地表水进行生物滤池-臭氧预氧化-生物活性炭滤池工艺处理,考察生物强化条件下该项工艺对河水中主要污染物的净化效果,并采用EEM光谱技术进行了溶解性有机物变化和去除规律分析,利用PCR-DGGE技术进行各单元中微生物多样性对比分析。结果表明,生物强化组合工艺系统出水水质主要指标已达到/接近地表水环境质量标准(GB 3838-2002)Ⅳ类限值,生物强化滤池填料中微生物多样性指数和物种数均高于其他工艺单元。受污染河水DOM中主要的荧光物质有类芳香族蛋白质(荧光峰A、B和E)及类腐殖酸(荧光峰C)及类富里酸(荧光峰D),其中,A峰、B峰与E峰的中心位置分别位于225/340 nm、275/336 nm和225/298 nm,各特征荧光峰强度发生明显改变表明,污水中溶解性有机物的含量随系统处理过程而变化。     

Fluorescence excitation–emission matrix spectra coupled with parallel factor and regional integration analysis to characterize organic matter humification

The present several humification indexes cannot provide the whole fluorescence information on organic matter composition and the evaluation results from them are inconsistent sometimes. In this study, fluorescence excitation–emission matrix spectra coupled with parallel factor analysis and fluorescence regional integration analysis were utilized to investigate organic matter humification, and the projection pursuit cluster (PPC) model was applied to form a suitable index for overcoming the difficulties in multi-index evaluation. The result showed that the ratio between the volume of humic- and fulvic-like fluorescence region and the volume of protein-like fluorescence region not only revealed the heterogeneity of organic matter, but also provided more accurate information on organic matter humification. In addition, the results showed that the PPC model could be used to characterize integrally the humification, and the projected characteristic value calculated from the PPC model could be used as the integrated humification evaluation index.     

根瘤菌全细胞组分的红外光谱特征

利用红外光谱仪记录并分析了36株根瘤菌全细胞组分的红外光谱图，所得图谱分辨率高、重现性好，菌株之间的光谱特征和吸收带的位置、强度各不相同。尤其在指纹区（1700-650cm^-1），不同菌株的图谱有较为明显的差别，利用红外光谱技术可以进行根瘤菌的鉴别，菌株水平的差异能充分表现出来，红外光谱分析在一定程度上可反映根瘤菌的分类地位，但实际应用起来，仍有一定的困难。     

软泥夹层对香港软土场地地震反应的影响

选择了香港有代表性的８个典型场地，通过钻探、现场剪切波速测量和土样动力实验建立了场地的分析模型，用２１次地震的１２８条基岩地震动记录作为，计算了场地土层地震反应，结果表明，对带海泥软夹层的砂质回填土场地，地震动的长周期分量（１．２～１．５s）被显著放大了，现有抗震规范的设计反应谱不能反映这类场地的反应特性，基于计算结果，提出了分别适合有、无软夹层场地的归－化设计反应谱。     

水传病原微生物PCR-纳米金显色快速检测方法

水传病原微生物是腹泻等肠胃疾病发病的主要原因,而发展快速、有效的检测方法对于控制和减少该类微生物的传播风险十分重要.因此,本文研究了PCR反应结合不修饰的纳米金颗粒(Gold nano-particles,AuNPs)显色检测方法的最佳盐浓度、探针含量、PCR反应条件等,并从纳米金制备、病原菌种类、检测特异性等方面进行考核,确定了最优检测条件为:10μL PCR扩增产物混合20 pmol探针,95℃反应5 min,55.5℃反应3 min后,40℃杂交10 min;此时,先后加入90μL实验用纳米金和一定浓度的PBS溶液,室温观察颜色变化.结果发现,纳米金溶液由红色变为紫色或近于无色为阳性结果,对应的吸光度值迁移出530 nm,以此可达到快速检测病原微生物的目的.

两江交汇处水体溶解性有机质的吸收和荧光光谱特征:以渠江-嘉陵江、涪江-嘉陵江为例

利用三维荧光和紫外-可见吸收光谱手段,分析了渠江、涪江和嘉陵江交汇处水体DOM特征变化.结果表明,干支流各采样点水体DOM的FI值1.4,HIX值0.8,表现出明显陆源输入特征,整个研究区域水体混合模式为非保守混合,对交汇处水体DOM地化特征变化有一定贡献,但并非主导因素.河流沿岸不同土地利用类型对交汇处水体DOM特征改变有明显影响,聚类分析发现,所有采样点可分为两大类,一类为沿岸以森林和农田生态系统为主(渠江-嘉陵江交汇处),另一类为沿岸以城市用地为主(涪江-嘉陵江交汇处),前者向干流水体中输入芳香化程度和腐殖化程度较高的DOM,后者以浓度较高而结构相对较简单的DOM输入为主.此外,涪江-嘉陵江交汇处类蛋白质荧光组分信号增强,出现荧光T峰,表明人为活动对水体质量的影响明显.
