Combined toxicity of imidacloprid,acetochlor, and tebuconazole to zebrafish ( Danio rerio ): acute toxicity and hepatotoxicity assessment

Compound pollution refers to two or more kinds of pollutants with different properties, a pollutant from different sources, or the simultaneous existence of two or more different types of pollutants in the same environment. In this study, we aimed to investigate the individual and combined toxicity of the insecticide imidacloprid (IMI), the herbicide acetochlor (ACT), and the fungicide tebuconazole (TBZ) to zebrafish. The acute toxicity test results showed that the 96-h LC50 values of IMI, ACT, and TBZ were 276.84 (259.62–294.35) mg active ingredient (a.i.) L−1, 1.52 (1.34–1.74) mg a.i. L−1, and 8.16 (7.7–8.6) mg a.i. L−1, respectively. The combinations of IMI, ACT, and TBZ with toxicity ratios of 1:2:2, 1:4:4, 2:4:1, and 4:1:4 displayed synergistic toxic effects on zebrafish, while the toxicity ratios of 1:1:1, 1:1:2, 2:1:2, 2:2:1, and 4:2:1 of IMI, ACT, and TBZ, respectively, exhibited antagonistic toxic effects on zebrafish. The following experiments were performed with a toxicity ratio of 1:4:4 (IMI:ACT:TBZ). The activities of four enzyme biomarkers related to oxidative stress in the liver, catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione S-transferase (GST), and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were evaluated in each exposure group on days 7, 14, 21, and 28. Compared with those of the control group, the activities of CAT, SOD, and GST and the MDA content were significantly altered at different time points in the individual and combined exposure groups. Additionally, the activities of CAT, SOD, and GST and the MDA content were significantly altered in the combined group compared with those of the individual group after 14 days or 21 days of exposure. Therefore, it was confirmed that combined toxicity studies are indispensable in risk assessment.

基于电-力导纳型类比法电厂动力设备被动隔振机理分析

为分析单自由度弹簧被动隔振技术的隔振机理,采用电-力导纳型类比法求得阻尼系统振动方程。利用归一化处理方法考察了在不同频率比(z)和力学品质因子(Q_m)影响下,设备位移、速度、加速度的响应情况。分析发现,在z<1时,设备响应特性关系为位移>速度>加速度;在z>1时,设备响应特性关系为位移<速度<加速度;而当z=1时,设备响应特性关系为位移=速度=加速度,此时系统发生共振,且力学品质因素越大系统振动越剧烈;而当基础的干扰频率为系统固有频率的2 倍时,设备振动特性不受Q_m影响,且位移、速度和加速度传递比分别为1,2 ,2。该分析结果可为动力设备布置竖向弹簧隔振支座的隔振设计提供参考。
