Etude comparee de la resistance de trois souches virales en eau de mer et en eau de riviere

The authors made a comparative study of the resistance of three strains of virus, Sabin poliovirus I, Mahoney poliovirus I and réovirus I, in sea-water and in river water, “in vitro” and “in situ” in dialysis bags. The results show the preponderant role of the incubation temperature and the exchanges existing between bags on the resistance of the viral strains. The role of these different factors is discussed.

Impact of moisture on volatility of heavy metals in municipal solid waste incinerated in a laboratory scale simulated incinerator

In this work, the impact of moisture on the volatility of heavy metals present in municipal solid wastes (MSW) in a laboratory scale simulated incinerator was studied, using synthetic waste consisting of 5.4 g of wood powder, 2.6 g lava, 1.9 polythene, 0.19 g polyvinyl chloride, and a given quantity of water and heavy metals represented by lead, zinc and copper in forms of metallic, chlorides and oxides. It is found that the presence of high moisture in MSW will greatly reduce the volatilization of heavy metals in MSW in the incineration process. The volatilization behavior of chlorides, oxides and the metallic species with respect to the effect of moistures is quite different. For copper, the presence of moisture in MSW depresses the volatilization of oxides, and increases that of chloride and the metallic species, while in contrast, the volatilization of both lead and zinc is always depressed by the presence of moisture in MSW, regardless of the chemical forms used. The chemical mechanisms, which govern the volatilization behaviors of different chemical forms in the incineration process, are proposed. Hydrolysis, dewatering of hydrolyzed species, sublimation, chemical transformation of less volatiles to more volatiles or reverse, may participate in and affect the volatilization of heavy metals in MSW.     

近52年江西省汛期极端降水事件的时空变化

利用江西省1960～2011年汛期83个台站逐日降水资料,首先定义了不同台站的极端降水阈值,统计各站近52a逐年汛期极端降水事件的发生频次,进而分析其时空分布特征。结果表明：江西省极端降水量阈值的地域分布呈从西到东、从南到北递增的特征。江西汛期极端降水事件发生频次的最主要空间模态是主体一致性,同时存在北部与中南部反位相变化的差异。江西汛期极端降水事件发生频次具有较大的空间差异,可分为具有不同空间特征的5个主要区域。滑动t检验表明,Ⅰ区代表站玉山的极端降水事件在1976年后和1986年后分别发生了由偏多转为偏少和由偏少转为偏多的突变;Ⅱ区代表站永丰在1974年后和1984年后分别发生了由偏少转为偏多和由偏多到偏少的突变。通过最大熵谱分析表明,各分区以2～6 a的年际变化周期最为普遍,其中Ⅴ区还存在13 a的年代际变化周期。从气候因子分析看,前期5～6月和冬季赤道东太平洋海温对江西汛期极端降水事件存在显著影响
