Reconsideration on the effect of nitrogen on mixed culture polyhydroxyalkanoate production toward high organic loading enrichment history

Effect of nitrogen on mixed culture PHA production was reconsidered. Enrichment history of PHA accumulating culture was discussed. Higher PHA content and biomass growth were achieved in presence of nitrogen. Enrichment strategy toward higher PHA accumulation was investigated. Microbial community succession in PHA accumulation phase was investigated. In most of the operating strategies for mixed microbial cultures polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production, moderate organic loads and low nitrogen concentrations are used, however, the real waste streams contain variable concentrations of carbon and nitrogen. To evaluate the effect of enrichment history on PHA producer and production the various carbon and nitrogen levels were utilized during the accumulation phase. Different operating strategies were applied in three sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) subjected to aerobic dynamic feeding. The maximum PHA production of the enriched cultures under nutrient excess, limitation and starvation (Cmol/Nmol ratio of 8, 40 and ∞, respectively) was evaluated in batch assays. A higher PHA content and biomass growth were achieved in the nutrients presence in comparison to the nutrient starvation condition. The cultures from the SBR treated under short sludge retention time, high organic loading rate, short cycle length (SBR#3) and nutrient excess reached the maximum PHA content (54.9%) and biomass increase (38.9%). Under nutrient limitation, the negative biomass growth was observed under nutrient starvation because of the sampling loss. The succession of microbial communities in SBRs and batch assays was analyzed using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism. The SBR#3 had the best overall PHA production performance considering its high PHA content and productivity in all nutrient content, it indicates that nitrogen has a substantial impact on PHA yield especially when high organic loading rate enrichment history is involved.     

真空联合堆载预压加固长江漫滩相软基孔压测试分析

结合长江江苏镇江段某码头堆场地基采用真空联合堆载预压法加固处理工程,通过现场钻孔埋设孔隙水压力计,对长江漫滩相软土地基加固过程中孔隙水压力的发展变化过程进行了测试分析。结果表明:真空预压区,加固30d后地基中孔隙水压力变化基本稳定,且土中超静孔隙水压力的消散受该深度排水板中真空荷载的影响十分显著;排水板中真空荷载随深度衰减,衰减速率与排水板周围土层性质密切相关;通过现场测试得到排水板周围为长江漫滩相淤泥质粉质黏土时,真空荷载沿排水板深度衰减速率约为3kPa/m。     

不同轴压/侧压下逐步开挖马蹄形巷道围岩分区破裂化数值模拟

基于空间局部化视角研究分区破裂化的发生机制。采用三维非均质应变软化模型,在逐步开挖和不同轴压与侧压之比条件下研究了马蹄形（U形）巷道围岩不同剖面和测线上剪切应变增量的分布特征。结果表明：U形巷道围岩的分区破裂化呈圆环形;分区破裂化可出在现掌子面的前、后方;在掌子面前方,随着远离掌子面,分区破裂化有所减弱,直至消失;轴压与侧压之比越大,分区破裂化越明显;在垂直于巷道轴线的不同平面上,分区破裂化有所不同,这与不同剪切带的特征不同及发育不同有关;共轭剪切带的出现,会使分区破裂化变得复杂。启动于巷道表面的空间圆锥剪切面的充分发展产生了分区破裂化。     

浅埋衬砌隧道-邻近建筑地震动力相互作用IBEM模拟

采用高精度间接边界元方法(IBEM)考察地震波入射下隧道-邻近建筑物二维地震动力相互作用的规律。结果表明:建筑物与邻近隧道存在着明显的相互作用,整体动力反应规律取决于隧道,建筑物之间的空间位置关系、隧道埋深、入射波的频率和角度等因素。隧道位于建筑物正下方时,刚性衬砌隧道(相对围岩)对上部结构主要表现为隔震效应;隧道位于建筑物两侧时,隧道对建筑顶部位移有明显放大效应,最大可放大约40%。同时隧道应力也明显增大,最大可放大约43%。因此实际中需根据隧道-建筑物的空间位置关系,适当调整衬砌隧道与沿线建筑物的抗震设防水平。

Contamination characteristics of trace metals in dust from different levels of roads of a heavily air-polluted city in north China

Concentrations of eight trace metals (TMs) in road dust (RD) (particles?<?25 μm) from urban areas of Xinxiang, China, were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The geometric mean concentrations of Zn, Mn, Pb, As, Cu, Cr, Ni and Cd were 489, 350, 114, 101, 60.0, 39.7, 31.6, and 5.1 mg kg^?1, respectively. When compared with TM levels in background soil, the samples generally display elevated TM concentrations, except for Cr and Mn, and for Cd the enrichment value was 69.6. Spatial variations indicated TMs in RD from park path would have similar sources with main roads, collector streets and bypasses. Average daily exposure doses of the studied TMs were about three orders of magnitude higher for hand-to-mouth ingestion than dermal contact, and the exposure doses for children were 9.33 times higher than that for adults. The decreasing trend of calculated hazard indexes (HI) for the eight elements was As?>?Pb?>?Cr?>?Mn?>?Cd?>?Zn?>?Ni?>?Cu for both children and adults.
