REGIONAL APPLICATION OF AN APPROXIMATE STREAMFLOW PARTITIONING METHOD1

ABSTRACT: The approximate streamflow partitioning method which uses daily rainfall and streamfiow data was applied in Coastal Plain, Coastal Flatwoods, and Southern Piedmont physiographic regions for estimation of the surface and subsurface flow components of total streainflow. Sizes of the watersheds ranged from 9.6 km² to 1,030 km. Although the streamflow partitioning method was developed and tested on the Coastal Plain physiographic region, results indicate that the procedure can be applied to other physiographic regions where available data are limited to daily values. The effect of channelization on the partitioned flow components in the Coastal Plain and Coastal Flatwoods physiographic areas was also examined. While channelization was found to decrease the storm-time base, it had no significant effect on the relative percentages of the partitioned flow components.     

推进城市化进程,跨越水资源门槛,实现大开发战略

人类社会的城市化进程始终是与对水资源的开发利用同步的 ,水资源短缺将是制约城市发展的一道门槛。然而 ,在我国西部地区存在着严重的水资源短缺和难以利用的情况 ,无序的城市化又进一步恶化了本已极为严峻的水资源短缺。但城市化始终是实现西部开发的必然选择。因此 ,在实现西部大开发战略 ,推进城市化进程的过程中 ,必须通过严格控制中心城市规模 ,以控制对水资源的局部过度需求 ;通过进一步优化城镇体系布局 ,在推进城市化进程的同时 ,实现区域范围内水资源的供需平衡 ;通过对现有的城市产业结构加以调整 ,以提高水资源的利用效率。只有依靠这种适宜的城市化战略 ,才能在城市化进程中跨越水资源门槛 ,最终实现西部地区的可持续发展

考虑从众阈值和主体特征的人群疏散元胞自动机模型*

为研究从众行为对人群疏散效率的影响,建立考虑从众阈值和主体特征的人群疏散元胞自动机模型,通过引入从众阈值反映人群中不同个体的从众选择程度,耦合每个主体不同特征属性、不同人员认知能力导致的疏散从众选择差异,利用元胞自动机模拟人群运动状态及动态演化过程,探究从众行为对人群疏散过程的作用规律。结果表明:人群疏散中选择从众行为的人员比例与整体疏散效率存在对应关系,本模型原始工况下,当人群中约60%的人员做出从众选择时,疏散效率相对最优。     

Floral odor learning within the hive affects honeybees’ foraging decisions

Honeybees learn odor cues quickly and efficiently when visiting rewarding flowers. Memorization of these cues facilitates the localization and recognition of food sources during foraging flights. Bees can also use information gained inside the hive during social interactions with successful foragers. An important information cue that can be learned during these interactions is food odor. However, little is known about how floral odors learned in the hive affect later decisions of foragers in the field. We studied the effect of food scent on foraging preferences when this learning is acquired directly inside the hive. By using in-hive feeders that were removed 24 h before the test, we showed that foragers use the odor information acquired during a 3-day stimulation period with a scented solution during a food-choice situation outside the nest. This bias in food preference is maintained even 24 h after the replacement of all the hive combs. Thus, without being previously collected outside by foragers, food odors learned within the hive can be used during short-range foraging flights. Moreover, correct landings at a dual-choice device after replacing the storing combs suggests that long-term memories formed within the colony can be retrieved while bees search for food in the field.     

Effect of elevated tropospheric ozone on methane and nitrous oxide emission from rice soil in north India

Physiological changes in crop plants in response to the elevated tropospheric ozone (O₃) may alter N and C cycles in soil. This may also affect the atmosphere-biosphere exchange of radiatively important greenhouse gases (GHGs), e.g. methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) from soil. A study was carried out during July to November of 2007 and 2008 in the experimental farm of Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi to assess the effects of elevated tropospheric ozone on methane and nitrous oxide emissions from rice (Oryza sativa L.) soil. Rice crop was grown in open top chambers (OTC) under elevated ozone (EO), non-filtered air (NF), charcoal filtered air (CF) and ambient air (AA). Seasonal mean concentrations of O₃ were 4.3 ± 0.9, 26.2 ± 1.9, 59.1 ± 4.2 and 27.5 ± 2.3 ppb during year 2007 and 5.9 ± 1.1, 37.2 ± 2.5, 69.7 ± 3.9 and 39.2 ± 1.8 ppb during year 2008 for treatments CF, NF, EO and AA, respectively. Cumulative seasonal CH₄ emission reduced by 29.7% and 40.4% under the elevated ozone (EO) compared to the non-filtered air (NF), whereas the emission increased by 21.5% and 16.7% in the charcoal filtered air (CF) in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Cumulative seasonal emission of N₂O ranged from 47.8 mg m⁻² in elevated ozone to 54.6 mg m⁻² in charcoal filtered air in 2007 and from 46.4 to 62.1 mg m⁻² in 2008. Elevated ozone reduced grain yield by 11.3% and 12.4% in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Global warming potential (GWP) per unit of rice yield was the least under elevated ozone levels. Dissolved organic C content of soil was lowest under the elevated ozone treatment. Decrease in availability of substrate i.e., dissolved organic C under elevated ozone resulted in a decline in GHG emissions. Filtration of ozone from ambient air increased grain yield and growth parameters of rice and emission of GHGs.     

Environmental Implication of Intensive Farming Practices on North China Plain

Abstract

The current pressure on production resources of North China Plain, such as land and water to feed the growing population, necessitates the assessment of the sustainability of farming practices. This study focuses on the sustainability of farming practices related to groundwater and soil fertility management. The assessment is based on selected site-specific key indicators and their established threshold limits. The current farming practices in the study area are clearly unsustainable. Only about 6% of the surveyed farm households practice sustainable farming. The study stresses that farming practice, which is economically sustainable, should not be promoted at the cost of environment. Holistic strategies need to be developed and implemented that aim at balanced use of inputs, which satisfy both productivity and environmental concerns.     

汽车制造企业恶臭来源及影响分析

挥发性有机物(VOCs)是工业恶臭的重要来源之一.本文以某汽车制造企业为研究对象,对其产生的恶臭来源及对敏感点居民区的影响进行采样和分析.2016年11月15~17日,分别采用三点比较式臭袋法和大气预浓缩仪-气相色谱(GC)-质谱(MS)联用法对该企业厂区内各个车间的排气筒、厂界和敏感点的臭气浓度和VOCs组分进行定性、定量分析.结果表明,该企业整车厂和发动机厂各个车间排气筒的臭气浓度均未超标,发动机厂厂界的臭气浓度未超标,但整车厂的厂界和敏感点的臭气浓度均超过标准限值.监测共确认54种VOCs物种,包括芳香烃、卤代烃、烷烃、烯烃、环烷烃、酮类、酯类、醚类、醇类、含硫化合物和含氧环化合物.其中,卤代烃种类最多,其次是芳香烃.由此可知,汽车制造恶臭类代表物质主要是卤代烃和芳香烃.根据敏感点居民区特征VOCs物种的质量浓度、检知嗅阈和阈稀释倍数筛选出敏感点居民区的典型恶臭物质为1,3-丁二烯.针对涂装车间所用涂料进行定性分析,结果表明,绝大部分特征VOCs物种均来自涂料成分.恶臭贡献最大的1,3-丁二烯,在排除敏感点居民区周边其他污染源影响的情况下,推断其来源是整车厂涂装车间的喷涂和烘干工艺所产生的.建议企业采用含VOCs组分较低的环保涂料或更高处理效率的RTO净化装置,以减少汽车制造过程对居民区敏感点的恶臭影响.
