硒与硫单一及交互作用对小白菜生长及硒生物有效性的影响

用土培盆栽试验研究了硫酸盐、硒酸盐单一及交互作用对小白菜生长及其硒生物有效性的影响.结果表明,单施硒时,适量硒(≤1.0 mg·kg~(-1))能促进小白菜地上部的生长,表现为小白菜株高和地上部干重分别较不施硒对照处理增加了8.4%和22.1%(p0.05),但高剂量硒(≥2.5 mg·kg~(-1))却抑制其生长,小白菜株高和地上部干重分别较对照减少了0.4%、14.2%(2.5 mg·kg~(-1)Se)和15.8%、50.3%(5.0 mg·kg~(-1)Se).小白菜的根系对硒酸盐的胁迫更为敏感,单施硒处理小白菜根长和地下部干重均低于对照处理,且抑制作用随外源硒添加量的增加而增大,外源硒添加量为1.0、2.5、5.0 mg·kg~(-1)处理的小白菜的根长和地下部干重分别较对照下降了20.5%、28.3%、49.4%和29.2%、24.2%、58.5%.施硫能减缓硒对小白菜的胁迫,表现为相同硒剂量下,小白菜根长、地上和地下部干重均随外源硫剂量的增大而增加.另外,施硫处理小白菜叶绿素含量均显著高于相同硒剂量下的无硫处理,过氧化物酶活性却相反.相同硫剂量下,小白菜硒含量随外源硒添加量的增大而显著增大(p0.05),且地上部对硒的吸收和富集能力均显著大于地下部(p0.05).与此不同,施硫显著抑制小白菜对硒的吸收与富集(p0.05),小白菜地上、地下部硒含量和富集系数(BCFSe-shoot、BCFSe-root)均随外源硫剂量的增大而减小.小白菜生物量与其体内硒含量、硒富集系数呈显著负相关.由此可见,硫酸盐是通过抑制硒吸收和富集及调控小白菜自身的生理代谢来减缓硒酸盐对小白菜生长的胁迫.硫酸盐与硒酸盐的相互作用受硫剂量、硒剂量及植株部位的影响.     

基于UHBs的输气管道高后果区泄漏燃爆事故分析

为探究输气管道高后果区中人的不安全行为（Unsafe Human Behaviors,UHBs）对输气管道泄漏燃爆事故发生的影响,结合模糊Bow-tie模型和贝叶斯网络对输气管道泄漏燃爆事故进行分析。构建基于T-S模糊故障树的输气管道泄漏燃爆模糊Bow-tie模型,并转化为贝叶斯网络;从人的不安全行为发生的可能性出发,将不同等级高后果区划分为不同等级人口敏感区;利用专家经验评判法得到不同等级人口敏感区基本事件的先验概率和中间事件的条件概率表;运用贝叶斯网络双向推理算法求解模糊Bow-tie模型。结果表明:随着地区人口敏感等级的提高,输气管道泄漏燃爆事故发生的概率随之增大,发现导致输气管道失效泄漏事故发生的最主要原因为施工破坏,失效原因与EGIG分析的结果基本相符,验证该方法在高后果区输气管道泄漏燃爆事故分析上的可行性,可为输气管道高后果区的安全管理提供决策依据。

Perceived stress,mental health,organizational factors,and self-reported risky driving behaviors among truck drivers circulating in France

Introduction: The growth of the European market for road-freight transport has recently led to important changes. The growing number of foreign pavilion drivers transiting in France, which plays a bridging role among European countries, has influenced the lives of truck drivers by increasing competition, pressure on day-to-day activities, and constraints related to delivery deadlines. Adding this new pressure to those inherent in the road-freight transport sector has raised concerns, especially ones linked to levels of perceived stress by truck drivers. Method: With safety concerns in mind, we devised a questionnaire aimed at understanding how French truck drivers and non-French truck drivers, passing through four highway rest areas in France perceive stress, organizational factors, mental health, and risky driving behaviors. A sample of 515 truck drivers took part in the survey (260 French nationals), 97.9% of whom were male. Results: The results of a structural equation model indicated that perceived stress can increase self-reported risky driving behaviors among truck drivers. Furthermore, organizational factors and mental health were closely linked to perceived stress. Finally, some differences were found between French and non-French truck drivers with respect to mind-wandering and mental health, and to perceive driving difficulties to overcome and driving skills. Practical Applications: Several recommendations based on the findings are provided to policymakers and organizations.     

EVIDENCE OF CHAOTIC BEHAVIOR IN SINGAPORE RAINFALL1

ABSTRACT: This paper focuses on the investigation of the existence of chaotic behavior in the Singapore rainfall data. The procedure for the determination of the minimum number of variables essential and the number of variables sufficient to model the dynamics of the rainfall process was studied. An analysis of the rainfall behavior of different time periods was also conducted. The correlation dimension was used as a basis for discriminating stochastic and chaotic behaviors. Daily rainfall records for durations of 30, 20, 10, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 years from six stations were analyzed. The delay time for the phase-space reconstruction was computed using the autocorrelation function approach. The results provide positive evidence of the existence of chaotic behavior in the daily rainfall data. The minimum number of variables essential to model the dynamics of the rainfall process was identified to be 3 while the number of variables sufficient to model the dynamics of the rainfall process ranges from 11 to 18. The results also suggest that the attractor dimensions of rainfall data of longer time periods are higher than that of shorter time periods. The study suggests a minimum number of 1500 data points required for the computation of the correlation dimension of the rainfall data.     

Integrating archaeology and ancient DNA analysis to address invasive species colonization in the Gulf of Alaska

The intentional and unintentional movement of plants and animals by humans has transformed ecosystems and landscapes globally. Assessing when and how a species was introduced are central to managing these transformed landscapes, particularly in island environments. In the Gulf of Alaska, there is considerable interest in the history of mammal introductions and rehabilitating Gulf of Alaska island environments by eradicating mammals classified as invasive species. The Arctic ground squirrel (Urocitellus parryii) is of concern because it affects vegetation and seabirds on Gulf of Alaska islands. This animal is assumed to have been introduced by historic settlers; however, ground squirrel remains in the prehistoric archaeological record of Chirikof Island, Alaska, challenge this timeline and suggest they colonized the islands long ago. We used 3 lines of evidence to address this problem: direct radiocarbon dating of archaeological squirrel remains; evidence of prehistoric human use of squirrels; and ancient DNA analysis of dated squirrel remains. Chirikof squirrels dated to at least 2000 years ago, and cut marks on squirrel bones suggested prehistoric use by people. Ancient squirrels also shared a mitochondrial haplotype with modern Chirikof squirrels. These results suggest that squirrels have been on Chirikof longer than previously assumed and that the current population of squirrels is closely related to the ancient population. Thus, it appears ground squirrels are not a recent, human‐mediated introduction and may have colonized the island via a natural dispersal event or an ancient human translocation.     

Developments in amphibian captive breeding and reintroduction programs

Captive breeding and reintroduction remain high profile but controversial conservation interventions. It is important to understand how such programs develop and respond to strategic conservation initiatives. We analyzed the contribution to conservation made by amphibian captive breeding and reintroduction since the launch of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Amphibian Conservation Action Plan (ACAP) in 2007. We assembled data on amphibian captive breeding and reintroduction from a variety of sources including the Amphibian Ark database and the IUCN Red List. We also carried out systematic searches of Web of Science, JSTOR, and Google Scholar for relevant literature. Relative to data collected from 1966 to 2006, the number of species involved in captive breeding and reintroduction projects increased by 57% in the 7 years since release of the ACAP. However, there have been relatively few new reintroductions over this period; most programs have focused on securing captive‐assurance populations (i.e., species taken into captivity as a precaution against extinctions in the wild) and conservation‐related research. There has been a shift to a broader representation of frogs, salamanders, and caecilians within programs and an increasing emphasis on threatened species. There has been a relative increase of species in programs from Central and South America and the Caribbean, where amphibian biodiversity is high. About half of the programs involve zoos and aquaria with a similar proportion represented in specialist facilities run by governmental or nongovernmental agencies. Despite successful reintroduction often being regarded as the ultimate milestone for such programs, the irreversibility of many current threats to amphibians may make this an impractical goal. Instead, research on captive assurance populations may be needed to develop imaginative solutions to enable amphibians to survive alongside current, emerging, and future threats.     

不同作物对外源硒动态吸收、转运的差异及其机制

查明作物硒吸收、转运随生育期的动态变化,有助于更好地了解硒在土壤-植物系统中的迁移进而对其有效性进行调控.本文采用盆栽试验,研究了6种不同作物在8周生长期内对外源硒酸盐和亚硒酸盐的动态吸收和转运差异及可能机制.结果表明,作物对硒酸盐和亚硒酸盐的动态吸收规律显著不同.硒酸盐处理作物地上部和根部硒含量从种植3周后持续下降;而亚硒酸盐处理作物根部硒含量随生长逐步上升,地上部硒含量随生长呈先上升后平稳或下降的趋势.两种硒处理在整个作物生长期内都有硒的累积,但植物体内80%的硒源于前6周的吸收.6种作物相比,硒酸盐处理芥菜地上部和根部硒含量最高,小麦地上部次之,亚硒酸盐处理,胡萝卜地上部硒含量最高,地下硒含量最小,而相同硒处理菜薹、紫甘蓝和绿菜花地上部和根部硒含量相近.绿菜花、紫甘蓝、菜薹、芥菜和小麦对硒酸盐的转运明显高于亚硒酸盐,胡萝卜对两种硒的转运能力相当.生物稀释作用影响作物硒含量的动态变化,尤以硒酸盐处理最为明显,供试植物硒含量与其干重呈显著负相关,但生物量改变引起的稀释作用并不能解释其对两种价态硒截然相反的吸收规律.进一步分析发现,硒酸盐处理6种作物硒累积量与作物生长期土壤有效硒改变量呈显著正相关（P<0.05）,但亚硒酸盐处理却未发现此结果;6种作物硒累积量仅占亚硒酸盐处理土壤有效硒的0.5%~18.1%,而硒酸盐处理除胡萝卜外5种作物硒累积总量为土壤有效硒量的1.1~4.5倍,由此可见,作物对外源硒酸盐和亚硒酸盐动态吸收的差异是作物硒吸收和转运能力、土壤供硒能力及生物稀释综合作用的结果,在作物硒的强化中应该综合考虑.     

复合改良剂对Cd污染稻田早晚稻产地修复效果

选取湖南省长沙市北山镇某中重度Cd污染稻田,连续种植早晚两季水稻,研究复合改良剂(石灰石+硅藻土+硫酸铁)对稻田土壤重金属Cd的生物有效性和水稻各部位累积Cd的影响.结果表明,施用复合改良剂提高了早、晚稻土壤pH值、CEC值,降低了早稻土壤中有机质含量(OM值).Cd的TCLP提取态与交换态Cd含量分别降低了18.0%~33.0%、5.4%~57.9%,但对晚稻土壤中Cd的2种提取态含量与OM值影响不显著.施用复合改良剂显著降低早稻糙米、谷壳、茎叶、根系中的Cd含量,分别降低了29.6%~56.1%、52.1%~54.0%、18.1%~80.7%、24.4%~41.6%.早稻与晚稻之间对Cd的转运能力呈现明显差异,Cd在晚稻植株体内的转运过程更为通畅.晚稻除谷壳中的Cd含量在2 g·kg~(-1)的添加量下有所上升外,复合改良剂对水稻各部位Cd含量影响不显著(P0.05).糙米中Cd含量与土壤中TCLP可提取态含量和Cd的交换态含量存在显著正相关关系.复合改良剂有效地抑制了早稻植株对土壤中Cd的吸收,糙米中的Cd含量显著降低;晚稻期间复合改良剂随水分流失,不能持续地固化土壤中的Cd,建议在各季稻之间补加一次.     

三元土壤调理剂对田间水稻镉砷累积转运的影响

通过镉砷复合污染稻田的土壤调理剂原位治理,研究了三元土壤调理剂QFJ（羟基磷灰石+沸石+改性秸秆炭）对稻田土壤基本理化性质和水稻各部位镉砷累积转运的影响.结果表明,在土壤Cd总量3.58 mg·kg^-1,As总量124.79 mg·kg^-1污染程度下,施用QFJ后,水稻根际土壤pH值、阳离子交换量及有机质含量有增大的趋势;土壤交换态Cd和As含量可分别从0.37 mg·kg^-1、0.07 mg·kg^-1下降到0.12 mg·kg^-1、0.04 mg·kg^-1.QFJ的施用,可有效降低水稻各部位中Cd和As含量,在9.00 t·hm^-2施用量水平,可将糙米中Cd含量从0.46 mg·kg^-1下降到0.18 mg·kg^-1,无机As含量从0.25 mg·kg^-1降低到0.16 mg·kg^-1,同时低于国家食品污染物限量标准0.2 mg·kg^-1的要求,实现水稻安全生产.施用QFJ减少了水稻根系对Cd和As的富集,降低了水稻植株将Cd从地下部转运到地上部的能力,降低了根系转运Cd的能力以及茎叶、谷壳转运As的能力.
