影响红沿河核电厂区热带气旋特征及最大强度估算

红沿河核电厂区位于我国北方海域的辽东湾东海岸,经常受到北上热带气旋的侵袭和影响。观测和统计表明,在辽宁登陆的热带气旋,强度能够达到台风,不容忽略。影响红沿河的热带气旋基本出现在7、8月份,以进入渤海后向西北移动和穿越山东半岛向北在辽东半岛登陆的两类热带气旋对红沿河区域影响最大,建国56年来最强的热带气旋在红沿河附近区域造成的最大风速达到25～33m/s,极大风速达40m/s以上。使用概率论方法和梯度风公式估算红沿河核电厂区可能最大热带气旋的强度参数,得到:百年一遇的可能最低气压估值为961 hPa,最大风速为35.4m/s,极大风速为46.0m/s;千年一遇的可能最低气压估值为939 hPa,最大风速为42.2m/s,极大风速为54.9m/s。     

Flow cytometric analysis of fish leukocytes as a model for toxicity produced by azadirachtin-based bioagrocontaminant

Azadirachtin is one of the most promising natural biopesticide used to overcome the hazardous effects of different organic pesticides and believed to be more environmentally friendly due to the unique nature of biodegradability. In the present study, the impact of no-observed-effect level (NOEL) dose of an azadirachtin-based bioagrocontaminant, Neemsheild, on the blood profile of Indian major carp, Labeo rohita, was examined. The 96-hr LC₅₀ value of Neemsheild was found to be 44.61 ppm. The total erythrocyte count (TEC), hematocrit (Hcrt), and Hb (hemoglobin) values showed a gradual decrease throughout the experimental period, whereas total leukocyte count (TLC) showed an initial increase followed by decline. Flow cytometric analysis subdivided the entire leukocyte population into four separate groups: thrombocytes together with small lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, and basophils. The fluctuation in leukocyte subpopulation indicated an immunotoxicological effect due to azadirachtin. Clustering of different cell types and similarity percentage values were found to differ greatly from control. It was evident from the study that the cell population comprising small lymphocytes and thrombocytes indicated predominant changes as physiological response of fish to different doses of azadirachtin. Thus, flow cytometric analysis of leukocyte populations may be considered as a biomarker to assess fish toxicity.     

Impact of environmental concentrations of beta-cypermethrin on the antioxidant system in the brain and liver of zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Beta-cypermethrin (beta-CYP) is a widely used pyrethroid pesticide, the extensive application of which may potentially cause damage to non-target organisms. To investigate the effect of beta-CYP on the antioxidant system of aquatic animals, adult zebrafish were exposed to environmentally relevant dosages (0.01, 0.1 and 1.0 μg/L) of beta-CYP. The activities of four antioxidant enzymes in zebrafish liver and brain tissue were tested after 7, 15 and 30 days of exposure. Our results showed that exposure of beta-CYP could induce different levels of increase in hepatic superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities at 7 and 15 days post exposure (dpe), but caused apparent inhibition of hepatic SOD, GR and GPx activities at 30 dpe. Unlike in liver tissue, SOD and CAT activities in zebrafish brain did not show any apparent response to beta-CYP during the whole treatment period. In addition, increased brain GPx activities were observed at 7 and 30 dpe.

基于电涡流效应的钢质体应变实时检测技术研究

为避免特种设备中的钢质体结构因交变载荷过大而产生应变,从而造成局部区域应力集中、降低钢质体强度和承压能力,提出1种利用涡流效应评价钢质体应变状态方法,并研制出由涡流探头和信号处理系统组成的应变检测装置。利用万能拉伸机对Q235钢试件进行拉伸应变实验,分析电压有效值、拉力值随采样时间的变化规律,进而得到相关线性方程。研究结果表明：该装置能够敏感检测出钢质体不同应变阶段,且在弹性阶段内可通过直线拟合方程定量检测应变量。因此,可有效预防因应变过大而造成的钢质体结构失效,从而避免特种设备危险事故发生,一定程度上保护人们生命及财产安全。     

巢湖水质时空分布模式研究

依据2004~2006年12个采样点11个水质指标数据,应用主成分分析(PCA)、聚类分析(CA)、判别分析(DA)和基于G IS平台的克里格插值法,对巢湖水质时空分布模式进行研究。通过统计分析将巢湖11个水质指标概括为4个主成分:第一主成分COD、BOD5和Chl-a;第二主成分电导率、NH4+-N、TN和TP;第三主成分温度和DO;第四主成分pH和SD。在空间尺度上分为2组,分别对应于东西半湖。除了DO指标,空间上西半湖周边区域的水质指标浓度显著高于东半湖;东西半湖TP和COD空间分布相似;在时间尺度上,可分为1月~3月份、12月份一组和4月~11月份一组;TP、COD、DO和SD指标第一时期浓度高于第二时期,温度、电导率和Chl-a指标则相反;溶解氧和温度两者的时间差异性呈现明显的负相关。并对采样点和采样频次进行了适当优化。

长江上游重庆段径流变化归因分析

近年来,受气候变化和人类活动的双重影响,长江上游重庆段的年径流量持续减少。首先利用MASH移动窗口滑动平均法分析重庆市长江干流寸滩、北碚和武隆3个主要水文站的径流变化特征,然后运用弹性系数法和回归分析法进行径流模拟,定量评价气候变化和人类活动对径流变化的贡献率。结果表明:(1)与基准期(1961~1990年)相比较,影响评价期(1991~2011年)气候变化和人类活动对3个水文站年径流减少量的贡献率分别约为25.2%~35.2%和64.8%~74.8%。(2)气候变化对月径流量的影响幅度有限,导致7月汛期径流量有一定程度的增加,8~10月的径流量普遍减少;人类活动对月径流量影响明显,导致7月份实际径流量减少,并进一步加剧了8~10月径流量减少的幅度。(3)两种方法都指示人类活动已经成为径流减少的重要原因。定量阐明径流变化的成因有助于科学制定应对措施,协调重庆市以及长江上游水资源开发利用。     

A simple chemical free arsenic removal method for community water supply - A case study from West Bengal, India

This report describes a simple chemical free method that was successfully used by a team of European and Indian scientists (www.qub.ac.uk/tipot) to remove arsenic (As) from groundwater in a village in West Bengal, India. Six such plants are now in operation and are being used to supply water to the local population (www.insituarsenic.org). The study was conducted in Kasimpore, a village in North 24 Parganas District, approximately 25 km from Kolkata. In all cases, total As in treated water was less than the WHO guideline value of 10 μg L⁻¹. The plant produces no sludge and the operation cost is 1.0 US$ per day for producing 2000 L of potable water.
