改良多介质土壤层系统对污染河水的脱氮效果

针对多介质土壤层系统（MSL）反硝化不足导致总氮去除效果不明显的问题,采用非水溶性可生物降解多聚物PBS固相碳源,优化MSL系统空间结构（下部空间结构由砖砌改为层铺）,研究改良MSL系统对污染河水的脱氮效果。结果表明,与木屑作碳源的MSL系统相比,PBS颗粒碳源反硝化效果更好,对TN的去除率达64．3％,提高20．6百分点;优化MSL系统下部空间后,TN去除率由43．7％提高至71．7％,且运行期间系统未出现堵塞情况。添加PBS颗粒碳源和优化系统空间结构,对COD、NH3-N和TP去除效果影响不大。     

Airborne rice pollen and pollen allergen in an agricultural field: aerobiological and immunochemical evidence

Grass pollens are well known among the health hazardous bioaerosols causing respiratory allergy. Being an important member of the grass family, the rice plants contribute a huge pollen load in agricultural fields during flowering. This results in a seasonal trigger of hay fever and respiratory allergy in the field workers and people living in the vicinity. Studies on the monitoring of airborne rice pollen and the intensity of the released allergen in agricultural fields are largely lacking. The aims of the present study were: (1) daily and hourly monitoring of airborne rice pollen in an agricultural field during the flowering period of plants in a winter crop season by using the Burkard 7-Day Volumetric Sampler and (2) the measurement of hourly airborne allergen intensity in the field in a peak rice pollen period by the double-antibody and chemiluminescence techniques to find out its relationship with the airborne rice pollen concentration. The monthly average concentration of rice pollen was 95 pollen m(-3) and the range of daily average pollen concentration was 0 to 386 pollen m(-3). A bimodal diurnal periodicity showed that the airborne rice pollen concentrations remained high at two different times of the day: between 08:00 h to 12:00 h and 14:00 h to 16:00 h. Deposition of airborne rice pollen allergen showed darker intensities on the immunostained tapes from the Burkard Sampler at the same two positions corresponding to higher pollen counts. These observations provided direct evidence of the allergenicity of airborne rice pollen in field conditions.     

Volumetric assessment of airborne fungi in two sections of a rural indoor dairy cattle shed

There is increasing concern about the exposure to fungal aerosols in occupational environments and associated respiratory allergic diseases and asthma. A large number of people work in cattle sheds around the world, pulmonary function impairments and higher frequency of respiratory symptoms have been reported in dairy farmers; however, it appears that adequate information on the fungal aerosols from the cattle sheds are largely lacking. Volumetric assessment of airborne culturable and nonculturable fungal spores was performed in two sections of a large rural indoor cattle shed of West Bengal, India for 2 consecutive years. An Andersen Two Stage Viable Sampler was used for sampling culturable fungi and a Burkard Personal Slide Sampler was used to collect the total airborne fungal spores including both the culturable and nonculturable types. A total of 31 spore types and 35 types of viable colony-forming units were recorded. Average concentration range of total fungal spores was 233-2985/m(3) and concentration of viable colony-forming units ranged between 165 and 2225 CFU/m(3). Burkard Sampler showed higher frequencies of Aspergilli/Penicilli, Cladosporium, Alternaria, and smut spores. Andersen Sampler showed the prevalence of Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus and Cladosporium cladosporioides colonies. Some recorded fungi were earlier reported as allergenic, toxic, and pathogenic for occupational workers as well as cattle population. Higher concentration levels of airborne total and culturable fungal spores were recorded during the months of November through February (winter) and June through September (late summer and rainy season).     

Debris removal by head-pushing in A. florea Fabr. honeybees

 The nest of the dwarf honeybee A. florea Fabr. consists of a single comb attached to a tree branch. Recruitment dances take place on the upper surface of the comb that must therefore be kept clear of debris. We report here, for the first time, a behaviour that serves for removing leaves and other foreign objects from the surface of the comb. Individual workers crawl under the object and lift it with their heads, pushing it towards the rim where it eventually slides off the comb. Objects that are heavier or fixed at one end such as leaves are nevertheless lifted and kept away from the surface for up to several minutes. This "head-pushing" is frequently performed without the aid of mandibles, and individuals performing it maintain a distinctive posture, holding the forelegs at an angle without touching the object. Repeated involvement of particular individuals indicate that head-pushers might form a distinct task group. Received: 24 November 1999 / Accepted in revised form: 10 March 2000     

海洋工程EIS现状资料归档和信息化的建议

对海洋工程进行海洋环境影响评价(EIS),可以保护海洋环境和生态,实现可持续发展战略。目前海洋工程EIS现状资料在归档工作中存在不完整和不及时的问题。受限于我国海洋数据交流渠道不畅,信息共享十分困难,EIS现状资料没有进行有效的信息化管理,急需利用的部门很难及时获取到有效数据,因此现状资料的归档和信息化管理尤为重要。为解决存在的问题,文章程实例来说明资料完整归档情况,并提出了确保及时完整归档的建议。同时建议开发相关的资料信息化管理系统,实现资料及时共享等,以期为同行提供参考。     

基于森林碳汇经济价值中国宏观社会核算矩阵扩展

随着气候变化及温室效应等问题的广泛影响,森林的碳汇功能越来越受到人们的关注。社会核算矩阵作为可计算一般均衡模型的标准数据基础,为详细描述经济系统中各部门、各经济主体以及各市场之间的联系提供了一个理想的数据支持。本文在编制我国宏观2007年社会核算矩阵的基础上,将森林碳汇的经济价值纳入到其中,对我国宏观社会核算矩阵进行扩展,扩展后的社会核算矩阵可用于森林碳汇的经济效益分析以及为建立森林碳汇的CGE模型提供数据基础。

细水雾扑灭油池火过程中火焰强化现象的实验研究

在细水雾扑灭油池火的初期,某些油池火焰会有一个突然强化、剧烈燃烧的情况发生。通过实验研究证明,酒精等与水互溶的液体不会发生强化现象,汽油和柴油等不溶于水的液体则有明显的强化现象;同时,发生强化现象的根本原因是共沸使得细水雾到达燃料表面后急剧沸腾而强化燃烧。     

基于源导向和蒙特卡洛模型的广东省某城市土壤重金属健康风险评估

以广东省某市为研究区域,通过研究其表层土壤重金属含量及空间分布特征,明确土壤重金属污染情况和优先控制因子,为该市土壤重金属污染防治提供基础数据.对该市221个土壤样品中的重金属含量特征进行分析,并通过潜在健康风险评估（HRA）模型、PMF受体模型和蒙特卡洛模型进行潜在健康风险评估、来源解析和主控因子分析.结果发现,该市土壤重金属ω（As）、ω（Hg）、ω（Cd）、ω（Pb）、ω（Cr）、ω（Cu）、ω（Ni）和ω（Zn）的平均值分别为18.16、0.43、1.46、68.57、98.34、64.19、26.53和257.32 mg·kg^-1,变异程度为中高度变异.除Ni元素以外,土壤其余重金属元素含量均已一定程度超过广东省土壤背景值,且Cd和Zn的含量已超过国家二级标准,重金属污染已较为严重;重金属来源主要为工业源,自然母质、铅蓄电池制造、交通、人为耕作和农药化肥投入也对土壤重金属累积有不可忽视的影响;土壤重金属对儿童和成人均存在一定程度的可耐受致癌健康风险,非致癌风险可以忽略不计;儿童的潜在健康风险大于成人,主要暴露途径均为经口摄入;农药化肥投入源和As应该作为该市土壤重金属影响健康风险的主控因子,其次为混合源和Cr;重金属空间分布特征及相对污染程度存在差异,应深化分区监测管控,加强土壤的污染防治,减少土壤重金属的人为输入.
