Impact of product heterogeneity and soft budget constraint on excess capacity in Chinese energy industry based on the duopoly model

Chinese energy industries are facing serious problems such as excess capacity, homogeneous product, and soft budget constraint. This paper provides a duopoly model to investigate the influence of heterogeneity and soft budget constraint on production capacity decision and internal action mechanism, respectively, under Cournot and Bertrand competitions, which reveals the formation mechanism of excess capacity. We conclude that excess capacity would exist when the products are not wholly heterogeneous under Cournot competition, and the higher level of the soft budget constraint or the more homogeneous the products are, the worse the excess capacity will be. The insufficient capacity would exist provided that products are not wholly heterogeneous under Bertrand competition, and the higher level of soft budget constraint or the more homogeneous the products are, the more insufficient capacity will be. Both soft budget constraint and product heterogeneity mutually affect to decision-making of capacity and output.     

掺粉煤灰和二灰上海软土的力学特性∗

粉煤灰和二灰(粉煤灰与石灰的混合料)均为改良软土地基的添加材料。以掺粉煤灰和二灰的上海软土为研究对象,进行次固结试验和直剪试验,研究了掺入率和养护龄期对掺粉煤灰和二灰上海软土的次固结特性和强度特性的影响。次固结试验结果表明,掺粉煤灰和二灰上海软土的次固结系数随着粉煤灰和二灰掺入量的增加而大幅减小,且在相同掺入率条件下,二灰的掺入对其次固结系数影响较大。直剪试验结果表明,粉煤灰和二灰的掺入均能提高上海软土的抗剪强度,与纯上海软土相比,其抗剪强度随着养护龄期的增长而显著增大,最后均会在某一养护龄期趋于稳定。掺粉煤灰的上海软土抗剪强度随粉煤灰掺入率基本成线性增长,最佳养护龄期建议为56 d,二灰的掺入率在10%即可有效提高上海软土的抗剪强度,其最佳养护龄期建议为28 d。上述试验结论可为科学和经济的处理软土地基提供参考。     

电动力学技术去除剩余污泥中铜、锌条件优化

电动力学去除剩余污泥中重金属受到多种因素的影响,其中电解电压、电极面积、电极材料等都有较大的影响,很有必要进行条件优化研究。针对存在的问题,系统的研究了电解电压、电极面积、电极材料对电动力学修复过程的影响。研究表明,影响污泥中重金属Cu和Zn去除率的因素大小顺序为:电压电极面积电极材料;采用等于或低于氢析出电压进行电动力学修复时,更有利于提高污泥中重金属去除率;增大电极面积,提高了电流强度,有利于污泥中重金属的转化、迁移,从而提高污泥中重金属去除率;研究表明,采用低于氢析出电压和惰性电极可以有效避免电极被腐蚀。     

上海市污水处理厂进水水质特征的统计学分析

针对上海市50座城市污水处理厂进水水质,利用实际运行数据,系统分析了水质特征以及有机物、氮、磷和悬浮物之间的概率分布和相关关系。结果表明,上海市污水中BOD5、COD、SS、NH3-N、TN和TP全年浓度分布均呈正偏态分布,月中间值分布范围分别在110~150 mg/L、260~325 mg/L、140~175 mg/L、20~30 mg/L、29~37 mg/L和3~5 mg/L。水质指标BOD5和COD、TN和TP及TN和TP之间存在显著的一元线性相关关系。进水BOD5/COD值分布在0.4~0.6之间的概率为64.6%,表明进水中生化性较好。BOD5/TN分布在4~6之间的概率为35.8%,表明进水反硝化碳源不足。BOD5/TP的平均值为32.6,且大于20的累积概率为84.1%,表明污水在处理中可以满足生物除磷的需求。TN/TP比值范围在1~25,平均值为8.6,且TN/TP>5的概率为88.1,表明进水基本满足微生物生长对氮、磷的需求。     

A sustainability assessment framework for regional-scale Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) incorporating Inclusive Wealth,Satoumi, and ecosystem services science

Sustainability has become an increasingly important concept in the last few decades; however, its operational usefulness has not always been clear. In other words, some sustainability assessments may not provide decision makers with the practical information necessary to perform the assessment. This study proposes a novel operational sustainable assessment framework for Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) on a regional-scale based on a feasibility study in the Seto Inland Sea in Japan. The framework draws upon three separately developed concepts: Inclusive Wealth as the technical framework for the sustainability indicators; Satoumi (a traditional Japanese multifaceted coastal zone concept); and ecosystem services science. These three concepts complement each other when seeking to corroborate an assessment framework. Indicators based on the framework and relevant to the case study site were identified. Although Satoumi is a traditional Japanese knowledge, it is believed that its application may be instructive for other areas, as similar concepts can be found and utilized for the conduct of ICZM sustainability assessments.     

Experimental studies and kinetic modeling of the growth of phenol-degrading bacteria in turbulent fluids

Understanding the interaction between microorganisms and fluid dynamics is important for aquatic ecosystems, though only sporadic attention has been focused on this topic in the past. In this study, particular attention was paid to the phenol-degrading bacterial strains Microbacterium oxydans LY1 and Alcaligenes faecalis LY2 subjected to controlled fluid flow under laboratory conditions. These two strains were found to be able to degrade phenols over a concentration range from 50 to 500 mg/L under different turbulence conditions ranging from 0 to 250 rpm. The time it took to reach total phenol degradation decreased when the turbulence was increased in both strains, with increasing energy dissipation rates ranging from 0.110 to 6.241 W/kg, corresponding to changes in the bacterial diffusive sublayer thickness (δ) and enhanced oxygen uptake. Moreover, the maximum specific growth rates of the two strains also increased with the enhancement of turbulence. A model integrating growth inhibition and fluid motion was proposed based on the self-inhibition Haldane model by introducing a turbulence parameter, α. The resulting modified Haldane model was designed to include fluid motion as a variable in the quantification of the physiological responses of microorganisms. This modified Haldane model could be considered a useful laboratory reference when modeling procedures for water environment bioremediation.

江苏省不同营养状况湖泊底栖动物群落结构与多样性比较

为了解江苏省湖泊底栖动物群落结构和多样性并研究其对水环境质量变化的响应,于2012年春秋两季对江苏省16个湖泊51个采样点湖泊底栖动物群落结构与多样性以及湖泊综合营养状态指数进行调查,分析水质指标与底栖动物指数间Pearson相关关系。结果表明,江苏省16个湖泊营养状态指数范围为35.5~66.4,其中约81.2%的湖泊处于轻度-中度富营养状态,表明水质从好到中度污染;湖泊底栖动物优势种为寡毛类的霍甫水丝蚓(Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri),优势度为13.0%;香浓多样性指数(Shannon-Wiener diversity index)范围为0.00~2.20,级别范围由极贫乏到较丰富状态,表明水质污染程度从重度到轻度污染。从全省尺度看,水质评价结果与生物学(香浓多样性指数、Pielou均匀度指数和Biotic Index(BI)指数)评价结果存在一定差异。与历史数据相比,江苏省湖泊底栖动物清洁敏感物种减少甚至消失,总体群落结构趋于小型化。16个湖泊水体总氮和总磷与底栖动物密度呈显著负相关,而综合营养状态指数与底栖动物指数(香浓多样性指数、Pielou均匀度指数和BI指数)间关系不显著。上述研究结果表明综合营养状态指数无法完全客观反映湖泊水生态健康状况,因此需要综合水质、水文、水生生物、生境状况等因素发展新的评价指标体系。

Historical deposition behaviors of PAHs in the Yangtze River Estuary: Role of the sources and water currents

Historical profiles and sources of PAHs at two typical sediment cores (i.e., the shipping route site and the shoal site) were fully compared to probe the controlling factors, specifically the water currents, for the PAHs deposition processes in the Yangtze River Estuary. Compared with ocean water currents, river runoff affected by the water impoundment of the Three Gorges Dam greatly affected the PAHs levels and percent contribution of PAHs sources in the two cores. River runoff hindered the PAHs deposition in shoal site, while a contrary phenomenon was observed for the shipping route site. Though the PAHs in the estuary were mainly from river catchment, only low ring PAHs in the shipping route site were mainly from the upper reach of the river. Coarse sediments with higher organic carbon content also accounted for the higher deposition levels of PAHs in the shipping route site.
