南京大气PM2.5中碳组分观测分析

为了解南京地区大气细颗粒物及化学成分在灰霾期间的污染水平及可能来源,于2007年6月至2008年5月,采集PM2.5样品,并测定了其中有机碳(OC)和元素碳(EC)的含量.并考察了有机碳和元素碳的季节变化特征,比较分析了南京地区灰霾与非灰霾期间含碳气溶胶的污染特征.结果显示,南京大气中PM2.5、OC和EC浓度变化范围分别是12.1~287.1,2.6~47.0和1.0~33.6mg/m3,其中夏季PM2.5(109.6mg/m3)和OC(20.8mg/m3)的值在四个季度中最高,呈现出夏季>秋季>冬季>春季的季节变化特征;EC则具有秋季>春季>冬季>夏季的季节变化特征. 霾日的OC、EC、总碳含量(TC)浓度及OC与EC比值分别是非霾日的2.0、1.8、1.9和1.7倍.后向轨迹分析表明,在有利的天气背景下,具有丰富水汽和污染物的混合气团最易使南京产生霾天气.

Deriving state-and-transition models from an image series of grassland pattern dynamics

We present how state-and-transition models (STMs) may be derived from image data, providing a graphical means of understanding how ecological dynamics are driven by complex interactions among ecosystem events. A temporal sequence of imagery of fine scale vegetation patterning was acquired from close range photogrammetry (CRP) of 1 m quadrats, in a long term monitoring project of Themeda triandra (Forsskal) grasslands in north western Australia. A principal components scaling of image metrics calculated on the imagery defined the state space of the STM, and thereby characterised the different patterns found in the imagery. Using the state space, we were able to relate key events (i.e. fire and rainfall) to both the image data and aboveground biomass, and identified distinct ecological ‘phases’ and ‘transitions’ of the system. The methodology objectively constructs a STM from imagery and, in principle, may be applied to any temporal sequence of imagery captured in any event-driven system. Our approach, by integrating image data, addresses the labour constraint limiting the extensive use of STMs in managing vegetation change in arid and semiarid rangelands.     

泉州市灰霾时PM2.5浓度与气象条件、能见度相关分析研究

利用泉州市空气自动监测站的监测资料,研究泉州市灰霾天气时PM2.5浓度与风速、温度、相对湿度等气象因素及能见度的关系.结果表明:泉州市灰霾天气期间往往会伴随气象因素及能见度的变化,灰霾发生前,风速降低,相对湿度减小,逆温层形成,能见度降低;灰霾结束前,风速增大,相对湿度趋于稳定,逆温层消失,能见度增大.灰霾发生时,PM2.5的浓度与风速、能见度基本呈负相关的关系,与相对湿度基本呈正相关关系.气象条件及能见度的变化可以为灰霾天气时污染状况的预判提供重要的参考.

Validation of Methods for Determination of Metabolic Rate in the Edholm Scale and ISO 8996

The aim of this study was to validate the Edholm scale (Edholm, 1966) and the ISO 8996 standard (International Organization for Standardization [ISO], 1990) by comparing the metabolic rates estimated for both methods with the actual measured metabolic rate (M_Meas) in 6 manual material handling tasks simulated under laboratory conditions. The metabolic rate was calculated from oxygen consumption VO₂ (19 participants) according to Standard No. ISO 8996 (ISO, 1990). Additionally, the participants estimated perceived exertion using the Borg scale. The metabolic rates derived from the Edholm scale (M_Edh) overestimated 5 of 6 activities by 34-50% (α = .05). The metabolic rates derived from ISO 8996 (M_ISO) overestimated all activities by 7-38% (α =.05).     

Effects of carrying handles,postures, materials and distances on carrying capability

This study recruited 14 industrial workers to examine the effects of carrying handles, postures, materials and distances on maximum acceptable weights of carrying (MAWC), and resulting heart rate and body rating of perceived exertion (RPE) for a 20 min intensive carrying task. This study showed that MAWC of carrying with bar handles, carrying with hands-and-body posture, solid materials and 4?m distance were significantly higher than that of carrying with groove handles, carrying with hands posture, liquid materials and 8?m distance, respectively. The resulting heart rates while carrying MAWCs of groove handles, hands-and-body carrying posture, solid materials and 4?m distance were lower than the resulting heart rates while carrying MAWCs of bar handles, hands carrying posture, liquid materials and 8?m distance, respectively. Most pair levels of independent variables resulted in similar body's RPEs except for the pair levels of carrying distance.     

The Effect of Protective Gloves on Manual Dexterity in the Cold Environments

This article presents a study on the effect of different protective gloves (which are commercially available and commonly used in the cold) on manual dexterity in cold environments. The experiments compared statistically four different types of gloves and two different types of gloving (outer or double) at +19 °C and -10 °C. Performance was determined both objectively and subjectively using two manual dexterity tasks: bolt-nut and pick-up tasks. The response measured was the time of performing each task. Statistical analysis showed that all independent factors such as glove type, participant, object size, and temperature had significant effects on the hand cooling reaction. A significant difference in the performance between the gloves was found in the bolt-nut task. It was also found that outer-inner combination gloving may be an approach to use for precision tasks.
