Impact of dicyandiamide on emissions of nitrous oxide, nitric oxide and ammonia from agricultural field in the North China Plain

Nitrous oxide(N_2O), nitric oxide(NO) and ammonia(NH_3) emissions from an agricultural field in the North China Plain were compared for three treatments during a whole maize growing period from 26 June to 11 October, 2012. Compared with the control treatment(without fertilization, designated as CK), remarkable pulse emissions of N_2O, NO and NH_3 were observed from the normal fertilization treatment(designated as NP) just after fertilization, whereas only N_2O and NH_3 pulse emissions were evident from the nitrification inhibitor treatment(designated as ND). The reduction proportions of N_2O and NO emissions from the ND treatment compared to those from the NP treatment during the whole maize growing period were 31% and 100%, respectively. A measurable increase of NH_3 emission from the ND treatment was found with a cumulative NH_3 emission of 3.8 ± 1.2 kg N/ha,which was 1.4 times greater than that from the NP treatment(2.7 ± 0.7 kg N/ha).

基于生态水泥的再生混凝土中重金属浸出动力学研究

使用生态水泥、再生骨料制备再生混凝土.分别通过快速浸出实验和长期连续浸出实验对混凝土中的重金属进行浸取,并采用原子吸收光谱法检测浸出溶液中的重金属含量,对比研究再生混凝土与普通混凝土重金属浸出性能差异.研究发现,快速浸出实验条件下,再生混凝土浸出液各重金属浸出浓度高于普通混凝土浸出浓度,但仍低于《危险废物鉴别标准浸出毒性鉴别》(GB5085.3-2007)标准规定的限值.快速浸出实验条件下重金属浸出量与重金属总量相关性不显著,说明快速实验方法有局限性.长期连续浸出实验结果表明,再生混凝土各重金属元素的扩散系数高于普通混凝土(除Zn外),这是由再生混凝土独特的显微结构引起的.     

Elites, climate change and agency in a developing society: the Chilean case

Faced with global climate change, local elites are confronted with the main dilemma of a developing country: development requires economic growth, but this effort also requires consideration of environmental factors and sustainable patterns of production and consumption. Based on empirical evidence from qualitative research on businesses and political elites in Chile—a paradigmatic South American middle-income country—this paper explores the extent to which local elites are aware of the severity of challenges posed by global climate change and identify main climate change concerns in their discourse. The degree to which domestic elites are aware of the paradigm shift they must assume toward clean industrial production is a key issue of environmental governance that involves private non-governmental actors. This paper gives clues to a better understanding of what is happening with strategic actors in developing nations and their understanding of their decision-making capacity concerning environmental policy and investments for facing global climate change. The main conclusion of the research is that awareness of climate change in local elites’ discourse is relative. It is not accompanied by a full acceptance of their agency and is not leading to a paradigm shift toward a clean model of development because of domestic elites’ position within globalization processes.
