Death and injury in earthquakes

The assumption that the ratio of mortality to morbidity will approximate 1:3 in earthquake disasters is investigated. When it occurs, a 1:3 ratio is most likely to coincide with a Richter magnitude in the range 6.5–7.4, but many other ratios of death to injuries may instead be probable. For each individual disaster the pattern of casualties is likely to be very heterogeneous, but it would be easier to discover regularities if a more standardized definition of 'injury' could be found.

乙醇汽油对国六直喷汽油车排放特性的影响

选择5台国六直喷汽油车采用3种不同组分的E10乙醇汽油和1种不含含氧化合物的国VI汽油,按照国六排放标准开展了WLTC循环测试,研究乙醇和基础油组分对污染物排放的影响规律.结果表明,多数国六直喷汽油车的CO、THC和PM排放有所降低,NO_x排放无明显差异,PN排放微增,所有样车的CO、THC和PM平均排放降低为6%、7%和14%.E10乙醇汽油中的重质芳香烃含量增高时,PN排放明显增加,PN排放与PMI指数呈现较强的正相关关系.
