Carbon dioxide and methane emissions from the scale model of open dairy lots

To investigate the impacts of major factors on carbon loss via gaseous emissions, carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄) emissions from the ground of open dairy lots were tested by a scale model experiment at various air temperatures (15, 25, and 35 °C), surface velocities (0.4, 0.7, 1.0, and 1.2 m sec^?1), and floor types (unpaved soil floor and brick-paved floor) in controlled laboratory conditions using the wind tunnel method. Generally, CO₂ and CH₄ emissions were significantly enhanced with the increase of air temperature and velocity (P < 0.05). Floor type had different effects on the CO₂ and CH₄ emissions, which were also affected by air temperature and soil characteristics of the floor. Although different patterns were observed on CH₄ emission from the soil and brick floors at different air temperature-velocity combinations, statistical analysis showed no significant difference in CH₄ emissions from different floors (P > 0.05). For CO₂, similar emissions were found from the soil and brick floors at 15 and 25 °C, whereas higher rates were detected from the brick floor at 35 °C (P < 0.05). Results showed that CH₄ emission from the scale model was exponentially related to CO₂ flux, which might be helpful in CH₄ emission estimation from manure management.

Implications: Gaseous emissions from the open lots are largely dependent on outdoor climate, floor systems, and management practices, which are quite different from those indoors. This study assessed the effects of floor types and air velocities on CO₂ and CH₄ emissions from the open dairy lots at various temperatures by a wind tunnel. It provided some valuable information for decision-making and further studies on gaseous emissions from open lots.     

Community dynamics of ammonia oxidizing bacteria in a full-scale wastewater treatment system with nitrification stability

To determine whether the functional stability of nitrification was correlated to a stable community structure of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in a full-scale wastewater treatment plant, the AOB community dynamics in a wastewater treatment system was monitored over one year. The community dynamics were investigated using specific PCR followed by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis of the amoA gene. The T-RFLP results indicated that during the period of nitrification stability, the AOB community structure in the full-scale wastewater treatment system was relatively stable, and the average change rate every 15 d of the system was 6.6%±5.8%. The phylogenetic analysis of the cloned amoA gene showed clearly that the dominant AOB in the system was Nitrosomonas spp. The results of this study indicated that throughout the study period, the AOB community structure was relatively stable in the full-scale wastewater treatment system with functional stability of nitrification.

Comparative quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) study on acute toxicity of triazole fungicides to zebrafish

We employed two-dimensional quantitative structure–activity relationship (2D-QSAR) and hologram QSAR (HQSAR) methods to quantitatively investigate the mechanism and active site of toxicity for Danio rerio exposed to triazole fungicides. Our results showed that 2D-QSAR models constructed using the energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbit, the net C atom charges, the octanol–water partition coefficient and the molecular shape factor had higher predictive abilities. HQSAR models containing the fragment distinctions atoms (As), bonds (Bs), chirality (Ch) and donors and acceptors (D&A) had higher reliability. It was found that 2D-QSAR results explaining the toxicity mechanism were consistent with HQSAR. In summary, the hydrophobicity and shape/size of the molecule were the important factors influencing the toxic effect of these chemicals against D. rerio. In addition, electron exchange may occur between these fungicides and the target. The study provided a method to evaluate the environmental risk of chemicals with a similar structure, based on the QSAR models obtained.
