林火行为预测预报专家系统

在针对我国大兴安岭林区典型可燃物进行实验的基础上,参考美国北方林火实验室编制的BEHAVE程序中的数学模型,提出了一整套估算森林地表火火行为特征量的表达式。在此基础上,通过交互式窗口技术、字符型汉字技术和专家系统原理,建立了“林火行为预测预报专家系统”。该系统在输入现场可燃物分布特性参数及相应的地形条件和气象条件后,即能迅速预测火蔓延过程中不同时间段的火行为特征量的值。与野外试验的结果对比表明,预测的结果是合理、可靠的。     

短链氯化石蜡(SCCPs)和多环芳烃(PAHs)联合暴露对HepG2细胞抗氧化系统的影响

环境污染物的低剂量、联合毒性效应已经成为毒理学研究中的热点问题。短链氯化石蜡(SCCPs)和多环芳烃(PAHs)都是典型的有机污染物且在人母乳和血液中都以较高的浓度水平存在。为探究PAHs和SCCPs的联合暴露毒性效应,选择了HepG2细胞作为受试模型,测定了PAHs、SCCPs和它们的混合物暴露后细胞增殖活性及抗氧化系统指标。结果表明,PAHs和SCCPs暴露都能引发ROS的产生,两者混合时更加剧了ROS的产生,表现为协同效应。另外,PAHs和SCCPs暴露都能引起过氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性的降低,因此两者混合时共同抑制SOD酶活性,表现为协同效应。而PAHs引起过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性升高,SCCPs则显著抑制CAT酶活性,两者联合暴露时CAT酶活性仍降低,但表现为拮抗效应。另外,PAHs和SCCPs暴露都引起谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量的轻微下降,只有SCCPs暴露引起丙二醛(MDA)含量显著升高,而两者联合暴露对GSH含量和MDA含量的影响表现为拮抗效应。表明不管是PAHs和SCCPs单独暴露还是联合暴露都能够干扰HepG2细胞内部的抗氧化系统,破坏抗氧化系统和自由基之间的平衡,使细胞氧化性损伤,甚至造成细胞凋亡。     

地表水硝酸盐氮同位素测定的前处理过程

为有效识别地表水硝酸盐的污染来源,探讨了硝酸盐氮同位素(δ15N)测定前处理过程的实验步骤和方法。通过对国产717、美国Amberlite IRA402和IRA900强碱性阴离子交换树脂进行NO-3的吸附、洗脱和扩散实验优化研究,分析了树脂高度、吸附流速、洗脱液的浓度和体积、洗脱流速、扩散温度和时间等影响NO-3吸附和洗脱效率的因素。实验结果表明,717、IRA402和IRA900均可以作为吸附NO-3的离子交换树脂,其中IRA402型树脂吸附效果最佳,717型树脂洗脱效果最佳。在过阴离子交换柱之前,通过Al2O3柱吸附水样中的有机物等杂质,可有效提高NO-3的洗脱率。针对九龙江流域地表水样,离子交换柱高度可选择为2.5 cm,吸附流速600~700 m L/h,洗脱液可选择2 mol/L KCl溶液,洗脱流速控制为4~6 m L/h。该实验方法的建立可满足九龙江流域地表水样硝酸盐δ15N测定的前处理要求。     

Monthly water quality forecasting and uncertainty assessment via bootstrapped wavelet neural networks under missing data for Harbin, China

In this paper, bootstrapped wavelet neural network (BWNN) was developed for predicting monthly ammonia nitrogen (NH⁴⁺–N) and dissolved oxygen (DO) in Harbin region, northeast of China. The Morlet wavelet basis function (WBF) was employed as a nonlinear activation function of traditional three-layer artificial neural network (ANN) structure. Prediction intervals (PI) were constructed according to the calculated uncertainties from the model structure and data noise. Performance of BWNN model was also compared with four different models: traditional ANN, WNN, bootstrapped ANN, and autoregressive integrated moving average model. The results showed that BWNN could handle the severely fluctuating and non-seasonal time series data of water quality, and it produced better performance than the other four models. The uncertainty from data noise was smaller than that from the model structure for NH⁴⁺–N; conversely, the uncertainty from data noise was larger for DO series. Besides, total uncertainties in the low-flow period were the biggest due to complicated processes during the freeze-up period of the Songhua River. Further, a data missing–refilling scheme was designed, and better performances of BWNNs for structural data missing (SD) were observed than incidental data missing (ID). For both ID and SD, temporal method was satisfactory for filling NH⁴⁺–N series, whereas spatial imputation was fit for DO series. This filling BWNN forecasting method was applied to other areas suffering “real” data missing, and the results demonstrated its efficiency. Thus, the methods introduced here will help managers to obtain informed decisions.     

Levels of dechlorane plus and polybrominated diphenylethers in human milk in two Canadian cities

Flame retardant dechlorane plus (DP) and several polybrominated diphenylether (PBDE) congeners have been measured in 87 human milk samples collected in two Canadian cities: Kingston and Sherbrooke. The levels of PBDEs in human milk (mean (median), ng g^− 1 lipid weight = 10 (5.9), 4.1 (2.8), 3.0 (1.6), 5.12 (1.6), and 15 (ND) for BDE-47, BDE-99, BDE-100, BDE-153, and BDE-209, respectively) were comparable to those reported in Europe, U.S.A. and China. The levels of DP, with a mean value of 0.98 ng g^− 1 and a median value of 0.60 ng g^− 1 (lipid weight), were two to ten times lower than those of concurrently measured major PBDEs including BDE-209. While there is little difference in the levels of measured contaminants in milk samples collected from the two cities, the contaminants levels in human milk show, indicated by Principal Components Analysis, that DP, deca-BDE, and penta-BDE come from three distinct sources. The mean and median isomer ratio values of DP in milk were 0.67 and 0.69, respectively, very similar to that of DP commercial products.     

Catalytic detoxification of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans in fly ash

An efficient catalytic detoxification method for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in fly ash produced by municipal waste incinerator has been studied using palladium on carbon (Pd/C) catalyst. As one of the trace components in fly ash, the detoxification of PCDD/Fs is very difficult because of the interferences of other persistent components with higher concentrations. However, the detoxification reaction of PCDD/Fs shows higher activity in water/isopropanol solution using commercial Pd/C catalyst at 40 degrees C under normal pressure. The results indicated that the catalytic degradation of PCDFs has been found to be easier than that of PCDDs. Moreover, the dechlorination ratios were higher for octa- and hepta-chlorinated congeners than those for tetra- and penta-chlorinated ones. The detoxification process worked well in water. The dechlorination efficiencies of almost all of the PCDD/Fs congeners can reach over 99% within a shorter reaction time.

2,3,7,8-TCDD的短期暴露对HepG2肝癌细胞内小分子代谢产物的影响

为了研究二恶英对细胞的代谢毒性,探究其肝毒性的作用机制,以二恶英中毒性最强的2,3,7,8-四氯代二苯并-对-二恶英(TCDD)为代表污染物,以HepG2肝癌细胞为受试对象,采用四甲基偶氮唑蓝(MTT)法和高效液相色谱/串联质谱法考察了TC-DD的24h暴露对HepG2细胞的增殖活性以及细胞的葡萄糖、氨基酸、尿素和甘油等小分子代谢物的影响。结果显示,短暂的TCDD暴露对HepG2细胞的增殖活性无显著影响。24h的TCDD暴露对细胞的葡萄糖消耗量无显著影响,但当TCDD浓度增至1nmol·L-1时,葡萄糖的消耗量表现出一定的降低趋势。0.01nmol·L-1TCDD就会使细胞脯氨酸和谷氨酸的合成能力下降,且谷氨酸的变化表现出明显的剂量-效应关系;TCDD可刺激细胞对缬氨酸、苏氨酸、酪氨酸、甲硫氨酸以及亮氨酸与异亮氨酸的吸收,并具有明显的浓度依赖性。随着TCDD浓度的增加,甘油和尿素产生量的降低趋势逐渐明显,1nmol·L-1TCDD处理24h后,甘油和尿素的产生量仅为对照组的1%和18%。研究表明,TCDD在短时间内使HepG2细胞内的一系列小分子代谢产物发生了不同程度的改变,且呈现出一定的剂量-效应关系。可见,TCDD可通过干扰HepG2肝癌细胞的代谢过程产生毒性。     

草甘膦对GC-1小鼠精原细胞的毒性作用及NAC的干预效应

为探讨41%草甘膦水溶液(农达)对雄性生殖细胞的毒性及其作用机制以及N-乙酰半胱氨酸(N-acetylcysteine, NAC)的干预效应。以GC-1小鼠精原细胞为受试细胞,设正常对照组、草甘膦染毒组(60、90、120、150、180 mg·L^-1)、NAC干预组(10 mmol·L^-1 NAC＋90 mg·L^-1农达)。MTT法检测细胞存活率,Giemsa染色法观察细胞的形态学改变,彗星试验检测细胞DNA损伤,比色法检测细胞培养液乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)以及细胞内超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、谷胱甘肽(GSH)及丙二醛(MDA)水平的变化。结果显示,随着草甘膦染毒浓度增加,细胞存活率逐渐下降(p<0.01),彗星阳性率逐渐升高(p<0.01);与对照组相比,草甘膦染毒组LDH活性增加(p<0.05,60 mg·L^-1组除外),MDA生成量增多(p<0.05),GSH含量降低(p<0.05)和SOD活性降低(p<0.05)。抗氧化剂NAC预处理具有相应的拮抗作用。研究表明,60～180 mg·L^-1浓度草甘膦对GC-1细胞有明显的损伤作用,其机制可能是草甘膦诱导氧化应激,导致细胞通透性增加和DNA损伤。抗氧化剂NAC对草甘膦的细胞毒性具有一定保护作用。     

中亚热带森林土壤呼吸日变化及其与土壤温湿度的关系

森林土壤呼吸是陆地生态系统土壤呼吸的重要组成部分,其动态变化对全球碳平衡有着重要的影响。目前对中亚热带森林土壤呼吸的研究还比较薄弱。本次研究采用Li-8100采集土壤呼吸速率,同时测定土壤0-10 cm土壤含水量和15 cm处的土壤温度。通过分析所测数据研究井冈山国家级自然保护区中亚热带森林生态系统主要森林类型生长季土壤呼吸速率的日变化特征,并分析土壤温湿度与土壤呼吸的相关关系。结果表明,①各个森林类型的土壤呼吸作用在白天比较活跃,夜晚波动很小。峰值一般出现在10：00到14：00之间。日土壤呼吸强度曲线基本遵循倒U型。②阔叶林（优势种：甜槠Castanopsis eyrei（Champ.）Tutch）、针叶林（优势种：台湾松Pinus taiwanensis）、混交林（优势种：银木荷Schima argenteaPritz.和杉木Cunninghamia lanceolata（Lamb.）Hook）和竹林（优势种：毛竹Phyllostachys heterocycla cv.Pubescens）的土壤呼吸范围依次为：2.1~5.3、2.19~4.02、1.27~4.23、1.8~6.35μmol·m-2·s-1。混交林的平均土壤呼吸值远小于其他三种林,但其土壤温度相对较低,土壤温湿度的浮动范围较小。竹林和阔叶林虽然土壤呼吸均值较高,但其浮动范围较大,受环境影响较大,土壤温湿度变化较低。③用Excel和Sigmaplot软件统计分析4种林型的土壤呼吸数据,研究结果表明,阔叶林土壤呼吸和土壤温度相关性不显著;针叶林林型土壤体积含水量为25.02%是影响土壤呼吸速率的分界点;混交林林型土壤呼吸和温度存在倒U关系,会随着土壤体积含水量升高而降低;竹林的土壤呼吸速率也随着土壤体积含水量的增加而降低。总而言之,可能由于降雨量过大造成土壤孔隙度变小,进而影响了土壤呼吸作用的活跃度导致各个森林类型的土壤呼吸作用与土壤温湿度的相关性不大。
