隔震:保证建筑物地震安全的最佳选择

<正>几十年地震预报实践说明,地震预报尚未成熟,远未达到实用化,目前仍属于摸索探索阶段。有些地震虽然说可能作预测预报,但即使预报了,对一个大城市而言也不会轻易疏散、停工停产,而且地震发生了城市的物质文明建设照样会遭到严重破坏。换个方式去思维去实践,即把城乡建筑的抗震性能提高了,尤其是住宅建筑和重     

基于《电力设施抗震设计规范》的地震动随机模型参数研究

依据《电力设施抗震设计规范》(GB50260-96)中的设计反应谱,对随机地震动功率谱参数的取值进行了具体研究。首先,采用时间包络函数考虑地震的非平稳特性,给出了地震动持时的取值;然后,根据加速度峰值等效原则,迭代计算得到地面的加速度功率谱密度曲线;最后,选定Clough-Penzien修正过滤白噪声模型作为拟合函数,通过非线性拟合技术拟合了与《规范》中的地震烈度、场地类别相对应的谱参数。研究结果表明,Clough-Penzien修正过滤白噪声模型能较好地拟合其曲线形状。本文给出了相对于规范中的地面加速度功率谱参数值,可供这种模型作为地震地面运动输入时选用。

以共沉淀法制备的纳米Fe3O4为核,以正硅酸乙酯为硅源,通过溶胶-凝胶法制备了SiO2@Fe3O4壳-核结构纳米颗粒,再以钛酸四丁酯为钛源,通过溶胶-凝胶法、经焙烧制得TiO2/SiO2@γ-Fe2O3磁性纳米光催化剂。采用X射线衍射仪、透射电子显微镜、比表面分析仪、振动磁强计对光催化剂的结构进行了表征,以苯酚溶液为模拟废水对光催化剂的光催化性能进行了评价。实验结果表明:经500℃焙烧的光催化剂活性相为锐钛矿型TiO2;在苯酚溶液初始浓度为0.2mmol/L、苯酚溶液pH为7的条件下,COD去除率为70.9%。     

超临界水氧化法处理造纸黑液

采用自制的超临界水氧化反应装置,对造纸工业排放的黑液进行处理。考察了反应温度、反应压力、反应时间、过氧量(初始反应时所加氧气的量与废水完全氧化所需氧气的理论量的比,%)等对黑液中COD去除率的影响。实验结果表明,处理黑液的最佳反应条件为:反应温度500℃,压力26M Pa,过氧量500%,反应时间120s。在此最佳条件下处理COD为85 000m g/L的造纸黑液,COD去除率可达99.9%。     

钢筋混凝土梁裂缝宽度与裂缝深度的相关性试验研究

裂缝的出现极大地降低梁的使用寿命。裂缝宽度和裂缝深度作为裂缝的两个主要参数,目前对前者的研究相对成熟,而后者的研究甚少。通过对8根钢筋混凝土梁的静力加载试验,研究由荷载引起的结构裂缝宽度与深度的相关性发展形态,并考虑混凝土强度、保护层厚度和钢筋直径对裂缝特征的影响。结果表明:混凝土梁裂缝宽度的发展主要与钢筋配筋率有关;梁的开裂荷载与混凝土的劈裂抗拉强度有一定关系;裂缝宽度与深度的相关性大致呈三段式的发展,并拟合二者的曲线。     

基于拉曼光谱的铅致肝细胞生物分子变化研究

利用拉曼光谱技术采集不同铅离子暴露时间(0.5,1.5,3,6,12,24h)、暴露浓度(0.05,0.1,0.5,1,5mg/L)下HepG2细胞的光谱数据,欲探究在不同铅暴露条件下肝细胞的分子变化及其相关机制.研究结果发现,在不同条件下各组细胞的光谱形态基本相同,但部分特征峰的吸光度强度存在差异.经多元统计分析发现,除6h外,同一暴露时间下不同暴露浓度细胞的光谱数据在LD1上均存在离散趋势,并在暴露24h时最明显.细胞内蛋白质、脂质、核酸、类胡萝卜素、碳水化合物等生物分子的特征峰表现出明显差异,但不同类型生物分子发生显著变化的时间并不相同.由此可见铅暴露可损伤肝细胞蛋白质、脂质、核酸、类胡萝卜素的结构并影响其正常功能,这种毒性效应呈剂量-效应关系,且随暴露时间的增加而增加.本研究说明拉曼光谱可以实现铅对肝细胞生物分子变化的相关检测,这不仅为之后的细胞毒理研究提供了新的思路,同时也为环境污染物的安全评价提供了理论依据.

Markers of oxidative stress and toxicant exposure among young waterpipe smokers in the USA

Waterpipe (aka hookah) tobacco smokers are exposed to toxicants that can lead to oxidative DNA and RNA damage, a precursor to chronic disease formation. This study assessed toxicant exposure and biomarkers of DNA [8-oxo-7, 8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG)] and RNA [8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanosine (8-oxoGuo)] oxidative damage during smoking of flavored and non-flavored waterpipe tobacco. Thirty waterpipe smokers completed two counterbalanced 2-h lab waterpipe smoking sessions (flavored vs. non-flavored waterpipe tobacco). Urinary concentrations of 8-oxodG and 8-oxoGuo and expired carbon monoxide (eCO) were measured before and after the smoking sessions. A significant increase in the urinary concentrations of 8-oxodG (from 2.12 ± 0.83 to 2.35 ± 0.91 ng/mg creatinine, p = 0.024) and 8-oxoGuo (from 2.96 ± 0.84 to 3.45 ± 0.76 ng/mg creatinine, p = 0.003) were observed after smoking the non-flavored and flavored waterpipe tobacco, respectively. Our results also showed that the mean ± SD of eCO increased significantly after smoking the flavored (from 1.3 ± 1.1 to 20.3 ± 23.6 ppm, p < 0.001) and non-flavored waterpipe tobacco (from 1.8 ± 1.2 to 24.5 ± 26.1 ppm, p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in the means of 8-oxodG (p = 0.576), 8-oxoGuo (p = 0.108), and eCO (p = 0.170) between the flavored and non-flavored tobacco sessions. Smoking non-flavored and flavored waterpipe tobacco leads to oxidative stress and toxicant exposure. Our findings add to the existing evidence about the adverse effects of waterpipe tobacco smoking (WTS) and the need for strong policies to inform and protect young people from the risks of WTS.
