Along with the increasing number of automotive output and End-of-Life vehicles (ELVs) in China, resources shortage and environmental pollution are aggravating, so the tremendous need to reuse automotive components gives birth to the industry. The Chinese government becomes to realize that it is necessary to build a conservation-oriented and environment-friendly harmonious society. As the ultimate form of recycling, remanufacturing will be an effective method to promote the development of Chinese circular economy. The automotive remanufacturing industry in China is just at the preliminary stage, this paper presents some problems before remanufacturing, during remanufacturing and after remanufacturing, and then it points out several barriers, such as restrictive policies and regulations, consumer acceptance, scarcity of technologies, etc. Like many other developed countries, Chinese remanufacturing industry will also experience the primary stage, growth stage and developed stage. while the emphasis of resources input will not be the same. By analyzing the resources input characteristics at different development stages, three development patterns, such as the Government Incenting Pattern, Technology Driving Pattern and Market Leading Pattern, are put forward. At present, the cooperation of the government, industry, universities and research institutes, etc, will jointly construct the enhancing system of automotive components remanufacturing industry in China. Finally, it concludes with a summary and some suggestions in the field. 相似文献
Pathogenic species of Aeromonas produce a range of virulence factors, including aerolysin, cytotonic enterotoxins, and serine protease, to cause acute gastroenteritis and wound infections in humans and animals. Recognizing that not all Aeromonas strains are pathogenic, in this study, we proposed to evaluate Aeromonas removal effectiveness based on the presence of virulence gene-containing Aeromonas as a proper means to assess microbial risk of Aeromonas. We developed and applied real-time PCR assays to quantify serine protease (ser) gene- and heat-labile cytotonic enterotoxin (alt) gene-containing Aeromonas in water samples. Among 18 Aeromonas isolates from the source water, only three isolates possessed all three genes (aer, ser, and alt). A higher percent of isolates has either ser gene (89%) or alt gene (72%) compared to the percent of isolates containing aer gene (44%). Results of this study suggested that several different conventional and unconventional drinking water treatment processes could effectively remove Aeromonas from source water. As the comprehensive knowledge of the distribution of virulence factors in different Aeromonas species is currently not available, using real-time PCR to quantify various virulence factor genes in water samples and/or isolates can be a practical means for better assessment of microbial risks in water. 相似文献
Sustainable development is a widespread concept. Indicator selection and sustainability assessment are basic methods to analyse
the sustainable development process. This study aims to develop a software application to select indicators and to allocate
weightings to the indicators and the sub-indexes, so that they can be listed in a sustainability assessment. The Visual Basic
software is used to develop a software package based on Delphi, analytic hierarchy, normalization and combination processes.
Software for sustainability assessment was developed. Thirty-five indicators are selected as a first step of which eight health
indicators and eight environmental ones and their sub-indexes are given weightings. The indicators are normalized. Sub-indexes
are combined into a composite sustainable development index. The model is validated showing the ‘main features’ of the sustainability
situation on health and environmental aspects in the Quang Tri province during the period 2000–2005. The results support the
decision-making process of the competent authorities. 相似文献
Long-term exposure to particular matter (PM), especially fine PM (< 2.5 μm in the aerodynamic diameter, PM2.5), is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disorders. This study aimed to evaluate the association between long-term exposure to PM2.5/PM10 and the metabolic change in the plasma. Specifically, using metabolomics, we sought to identify the biomarkers for the vulnerable subgroup to PM2.5 exposure. A total of 78 college student volunteers were recruited into this prospective cohort study. All participants received 8 rounds of physical examinations at twice quarterly. Air purifiers were placed in 40 of 78 participants’ dormitories for 14 days. Before and after intervention, physical examinations were performed and the peripheral blood was collected. Plasma metabolomics was determined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. During the follow-up, the average concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 were 53 μg/m3 and 93 μg/m3, respectively. Totally, 42 and 120 differential metabolic features were detected for PM10 and PM2.5 exposure, respectively. In total, 25 differential metabolites were identified for PM2.5 exposure, most of which were phospholipids. No distinctive metabolites were found for PM10 exposure. A total of 6 differential metabolites (lysoPC (P-20:0), lysoPC (P-18:1(9z)), lysoPC (20:1), lysoPC (O-16:0), choline, and found 1,3-diphenylprop-2-en-1-one) were characterized and confirmed for sensitive individuals. Importantly, we found LysoPC (P-20:0) and LysoPC (P-18:1(9z)) changed significantly before and after air purifier intervention. Our results indicated that the phospholipid catabolism was involved in long-term PM2.5 exposure. LysoPC (P-20:0) and LysoPC (P-18:1(9z)) may be the biomarkers of PM2.5 exposure.

Tetraclita japonica and T. formosana are common intertidal barnacles with similar morphology, which leads to uncertainty in their species status. In the present
study, we try to elucidate the taxonomic status of the two taxa using morphology and mitochondrial control region and cytochrome
c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences of the barnacles in their distribution range. The two taxa were found to be morphologically
similar; a diagnostic difference between them was only observed in the colour of the parietes and opercular plates. Little
genetic differentiation was detected in the control region and COI (ΦCT < 0.025 for both markers) between two taxa, but differentiation was found between the southern (Taiwan and Hong Kong) and
northern (Japan) populations of T. japonica/T. formosana, which might be the result of isolation by distance and upwelling in summer. Our data suggest that the two presently recognized
species probably represent two colour morphotypes of the same species exhibiting different geographical distribution. T. japonica is abundant in Japan and southeast coast of China, whereas T. formosana is only abundant in Taiwan. The heterogeneous environment might exert a divergent selection pressure leading to asymmetric
distribution of the two colour morphotypes. The different colours might be a result of either phenotypic plasticity adaptive
to environmental variables or genetic hitchhiking of local adaptive genotypes.
