Farm‐level Economic and Water Quality Impacts of Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan Implementation in the Ohio River Basin

In this article, we provide an assessment of comprehensive nutrient management plans (CNMPs) as a tool for addressing nonpoint nutrient and sediment losses from the animal feeding operations (AFOs) in the Ohio River Basin. We employ a macro modeling system to determine the aggregate economic and water quality impacts of CNMP implementation on AFOs in the entire basin. Results of the study indicate that implementing CNMPs on AFOs will help reduce sediment and organic nutrient losses from their current levels at moderate cost. The flexibility inherent in CNMP designs means farmers may be able to achieve water quality and other conservation goals at less cost with CNMPs than with other less flexible policy options.     

CO还原脱硝反应锌铜双金属有机骨架催化剂的制备

采用离子交换法制备锌铜双金属有机骨架(Zna/HKUST-1,a=1/24,1/12,1/6,1/3,a为Zn与Cu的摩尔比),用于催化CO还原脱硝反应。采用XRD,SEM,FTIR,H2-TPR,BET等方法对Zna/HKUST-1进行了表征。表征结果表明:Zna/HKUST-1中有明显的Zn—O键和铜基金属有机骨架(HKUST-1)的结构,证明Zn成功进入了HKUST-1中;但随a的不同,Zna/HKUST-1的形貌、大小及比表面积出现了差异。实验结果表明,Zna/HKUST-1(a=1/24)对CO还原脱硝反应的催化活性最高,可在230℃达到NO转化率100%。     

Review of efficiencies of cogeneration units using internal combustion engines

The most frequently used technology in cogeneration units up to 10 MWe are internal combustion engines and the majority of the models are up to 500 kWe. There are dozens of reciprocating internal combustion engine–based cogeneration unit manufacturers and more than hundred suppliers in the market. In the article, data from supplier technical specifications of 583 units (34 manufacturers) is collected and analyzed. The authors proposed mathematical relations that show dependence of efficiencies on electric power that can be used for initial feasibility studies. Authors also have showed that value of 0.75 for power-to-heat ratio (proposed by EU Directive 2004/8/EC) does not always correspond to current market situation.     

Sustainable farming practices of the Chinese mitten crab (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Eriocheir sinensis)</Emphasis> around Hongze Lake,lower Yangtze River Basin,China

Results of a survey of 156 Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) grow-out farms around Hongze Lake (118.48–118.72°E; 33.36–33.38°N) are reported. Area farmed has remained relatively unchanged but production (59 932 t in 2012) increased steadily over the last 7 years, indicative of the viability and sustainability of the farming system that has gradually replaced intensive Chinese major carp polyculture around Hongze Lake. Results showed that production range was 135–2400 kg ha⁻¹ cycle⁻¹ (mean 1144 ± 34). Crab yields correlated linearly to stocking density and conformed to a normal distribution curve, with 66.7 % of farms yielding 900 kg ha⁻¹ cycle⁻¹ or more. Yield was negatively correlated to pond size and capture size (p < 0.01), and farms with macrophyte coverage rate lower than 30 % of water surface were significantly (p < 0.05) lower than those exceeding 30 %.

黑龙江省杨树烂皮病气象预报模型的适应性分析

在构建东北地区杨树烂皮病发生发展气象适宜度预报模型的基础上,选取黑龙江省西部地区5个试验点,以1972-1974年当地杨树烂皮病观测记录为标准,对该模型进行局部地区应用试验.结果表明:仅利用当地气象观测站的气象数据进行气象适宜度等级预报的准确率比较低,总体预报准确率仅为38 07％,而对气象要素进行空间插值能把预报准确率提高到72.16％.此研究可为黑龙江省气象部门进行杨树烂皮病的气象适宜度预报提供技术参考.     

Water Transport in Polylactide and Polylactide/Montmorillonite Composites

Polylactide–montmorillonite composites were fabricated by melt-blending followed by compression molding, and water permeability of the composites was studied by both experiments and theoretical models. The water permeation in composites decreases with increasing concentration of montmorillonite. Specifically, at a concentration of 10 wt% of montmorillonite, the water permeation is 34 % less than in the neat polymer. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) results show that most of the montmorillonite particles are well-dispersed and randomly exfoliated in the polymer matrix. A fit of theoretical models to the permeation data estimates that montmorillonite platelets are mostly exfoliated in the polymer matrix and oriented randomly, which matches with results from WAXS and TEM.     

Suitability Analysis for Greenway Planning in China: An Example of Chongming Island

Suitability analysis for greenway planning was developed in the Western culture. When applying a suitability analysis to a very different sociocultural context such as China, it is necessary to identify what hinders or promotes it. Through an example of Chongming Island, this article demonstrates how to apply a suitability analysis for greenway planning in China. Furthermore, it argues that obstacles including a lack of data, peculiarity of capability scores within land use and a neglect of scientific group involvement are encountered in the process of applying suitability methods in Chongming or China. Early and sustained attention to such impediments could improve the success of suitability assessment in China. These research results are helpful for the planning and implementation of Chongming greenways.     

冬季燃油节能降耗设备的研制与应用

新疆等西北地区冬季时间长,温度低,由于--35#柴油的价格比0#柴油高,但其燃烧值低于0#柴油,因此考虑用0#柴油代替--35#柴油,以降低钻井成本。回收350℃高温尾气中的热量,进行水罐加热,使水温达到60℃;然后用60℃热水对0#柴油罐进行加热和保温,使油温达到30℃。达到在冬季用0#柴油代替--35#柴油的目的,使尾气回收利用设备不需要另外的能量补给。
