办公建筑夏季用能行为测试研究

建筑使用者热环境改善行为对建筑能耗具有重要影响。对杭州市某办公建筑开展夏季空调使用行为测试。较高的空调使用率以及空调设备对室内热环境的显著改善说明空调使用是该地区夏季采用的主要降温措施。采用逻辑回归构建出夏季空调开启率预测模型。根据所构建的夏季空调开启率预测模型,得出测试房间空调开启室外耐受温度为32.0℃。根据测试期间空调开启时刻温度,得出空调开启室内耐受温度为28.7℃。

Indoor air pollution: A review∗

Relationships between toxicities of substituted aromatic hydrocarbons to Daphnia magna and to Fathead minnows or Photobacterium phosphoreum were studied based on structure‐activity equations we established. Good relationships between toxicities of chemicals to Daphnia magna and to Fathead minnows, Photobacterium phosphoreum were found for a wide range of chemicals. The toxicity data of fish can be predicted by the toxicity data of Daphnia magna or Photobacterium phosphoreum. It is probable that the toxicities of chemicals to the three organisms are similar.     

低DO微孔曝气变速氧化沟脱氮能力恢复效果分析

活性污泥法低温运行中的污泥膨胀主要是由丝状菌引起,微丝菌(M.Parvicella)则是污泥膨胀中的优势丝状菌.针对微孔曝气变速氧化沟中试系统中因低温引起的污泥严重膨胀及其污泥硝化能力降低的问题,采取增大曝气量快速培养污泥硝化菌含量,再逐渐增加A:O比为0,0.1,0.5,1.1,1.8提高反硝化能力,从而恢复污泥脱氮能力.在恢复期间,污泥絮体中的疏水性M.Parvicella附着于反硝化产生气体上,在选择池和氧化沟表面形成浮泥,对其进行去除,以减少絮体中丝状菌含量,提高硝化菌含量及其硝化能力.同时对不同微丝菌含量的污泥絮体(沟内混合液和表面浮泥)的硝化和反硝化速率进行测定,结果表明微丝菌含量高的活性污泥其硝化能力较弱,而快速反硝化能力较强,则对慢速和内源反硝化影响不大.进一步证明M.Parvicella也是除了DO浓度,水温和负荷之外影响活性污泥硝化能力和污泥沉降性能的重要因素之一.     

基于灰色关联分析的高层建筑火灾风险评估

为了研究高层建筑火灾风险,在综合考虑高层建筑空间火灾特点及发展过程的基础上,建立了包括安全疏散系统、建筑自身防火能力、灭火能力、消防救援设施以及安全管理五大因素的火灾风险评估指标体系,并利用灰色关联度分析法构建了高层建筑火灾系统的灰色关联评价模型。通过计算各评价指标序列和实际样本序列直接的灰色关联度,建立了系统的灰色关联矩阵,得到了各影响因素及系统整体的风险等级。利用该模型对上海市静安区胶州路728号教师公寓大楼的火灾风险进行了综合评估,结果与实际情况相符。评估结果表明,在高层建筑火灾风险评估中引入灰色关联分析方法可以得到高层建筑火灾危险性的科学数据,并进一步指出薄弱环节,对高层建筑的防火设计及日常安全管理等都具有指导意义。     

Capacity building for sustainable development: some Mexican perspectives

A broadly defined scientific Capacity Building (CB) for Sustainable Development (SD) is needed all around the world, and the development of innovative capacities in the developing countries is a priority. For this, first we need to know how this concept is applied in some developing countries. In this paper we present some Mexican experiences in the field of capacity building for sustainable development. The main problems are the monodisciplinary training of the specialists, the absence of a sound policy for promotion, career development and assessment of researchers, as well as of their projects when they are interdisciplinary and development-oriented. The main proposals to solve these problems are the creation of mechanisms that foster and legitimize interdisciplinary work; a decentralized planning process with the specific objective of establishing the needs and orientations on a regional basis; provide resources to long-term projects, and finally, consensus on asking international funding agencies for stronger support for public higher education institutions in developing countries in order to increase and strengthen their capacity for education and research in general, and in the field of SD in particular.     

Transitional coordination in Sudan (2006–08): lessons from the United Nations Resident Coordinator's Office

With the increase in internal conflicts following the end of the Cold War, the scale and scope of the United Nations' work in conflict and post‐conflict environments grew markedly. As a result, the coordination of programming and policy in the transition from relief to recovery has been a central preoccupation of academics and practitioners alike. Intergovernmental bodies such as the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) have made these topics a subject of regular discussion, while some countries have altered their bureaucratic structures to respond more effectively in post‐crisis settings, particularly in cases involving the deployment of national troops. The United Nations Resident Coordinator's Office in Sudan provides a model for other transitional countries and is a useful case study of the broader challenges of post‐crisis programming. Effective coordination structures and planning/programming processes are identified as interdependent prerequisites for ensuring a successful transition from relief to recovery.     

Quantitative assessment of post‐disaster housing recovery: a case study of Punta Gorda,Florida, after Hurricane Charley

Quantitative assessment of post‐disaster housing recovery is critical to enhancing understanding of the process and improving the decisions that shape it. Nevertheless, few comprehensive empirical evaluations of post‐disaster housing recovery have been conducted, and no standard measurement methods exist. This paper presents a quantitative assessment of housing recovery in Punta Gorda, Florida, United States, following Hurricane Charley of August 2004, including an overview of the phases of housing recovery, progression of recovery over time, alternative trajectories of recovery, differential recovery, incorporation of mitigation, and effect on property sales. The assessment is grounded in a conceptual framework that considers the recovery of both people and place, and that emphasises recovery as a process, not as an endpoint. Several data sources are integrated into the assessment—including building permits, remotely sensed imagery, and property appraiser data—and their strengths and limitations are discussed with a view to developing a standardised method for measuring and monitoring housing recovery.     

汶川8.0级地震时徐州台地震动和形变同震响应分析

通过对汶川8.0级地震和6次强余震时徐州地震台的形变同震响应和地震位移量研究,计算了汶川地震主震发生时地震面波到达徐州的时间和位移量,统计了汶川8.0级地震及其强余震引起的同震阶变时间参数、幅度参数和阶跃形态。研究结果表明:①该台4套形变观测均有较高的同震响应能力,同震阶变的开始时间与主震面波到达徐州台的时间基本吻合,可以认为同震应变阶和同震波是由强震面波引起的,是一种叠加在体应变固体潮曲线上的高频变化,并呈现快速振荡衰减的形式。②同台同岩性的不同形变观测对同一个地震的响应是不同的,阶跃形状、响应大小、响应时间、变化幅度都有较大的差别,这种差别更多的是反映了仪器本身的性能、观测精度、频率响应的不同,并不是应力场变化和构造特征的差异。③汶川地震引起的徐州地区应力变化以压应力为主,大地震的动态应力触发作用对远场的应变变化具有重要影响。
