SO32-活化S2O82-降解偶氮染料废水的机制研究

为深度处理偶氮染料废水,以甲基橙（MO）为目标污染物,研究了亚硫酸盐活化过硫酸盐产活性物种的新型高级氧化处理方法,并对活化机制、氧化机理及动力学理论进行分析.通过对SO₃^2-/S₂O₈^2-,S₂O₈^2-,SO₃^2-3种体系进行降解对比和ESR等技术表征对比,发现亚硫酸盐能显著活化过硫酸根产生硫酸根自由基,其能氧化破坏MO偶氮双键形成的共轭体系,有较好的脱色降解效果.考察了亚硫酸盐和过硫酸盐摩尔比、过硫酸盐投加量、初始pH值对降解效果的影响,结果表明当初始pH值为3.0,摩尔比1：1,投加量为20.0mmol/L、反应时间在300min下对MO降解率能达到96.1%,进一步发现该体系对初始pH值的适应范围较广（3.0~11.0）.基于Box-behnken设计的响应面模拟和方差分析得到了可达显著水平的二次响应曲面模型,影响因子对MO降解的贡献排序为：过硫酸盐投加量 > 初始pH值 > 摩尔比.初始MO浓度动力学分析发现不同初始浓度下对MO的降解过程遵循准二级反应动力学规律,反应动力学常数从1.8212×10^-4~2.4649×10^-4min^-1.另一方面发现升高反应温度可以促进体系对MO的降解,根据不同温度下活化过程的反应速率常数的阿累尼乌斯准二级反应的活化能计算结果（E_a=44.9kJ/mol）,发现其相比常规金属活化方式较低,因此该体系对有毒有害的工业有机废水处理有潜在的商业应用价值.     

菹草对湖泊水质及浮游植物群落结构的影响

沉水植物的季节性死亡分解会引起水体环境的巨大改变,如大量释放有机碳和氮磷等植物营养素,进而可能引起浮游植物群落结构的显著变化.本文以菹草为例,调查了我国江淮中下游平原14个浅水湖泊中该物种春季生长期和夏季衰亡期水环境物理化学指标和浮游植物相关参数,并量化了菹草衰亡对水质和浮游植物群落结构的影响.结果表明,在春季,菹草的生长显著抑制了沉积物的悬浮,提高了水体的透明度,同时菹草在生长过程中,吸收了水体中的营养元素并将其储存在植株体内或输送到沉积物中,菹草的光合作用还显著提高了水体的溶解氧和pH.然而,夏季菹草的衰亡使得湖水变得十分浑浊,水体有机质含量显著上升.此外,本研究还发现夏季有草区与无草区浮游植物组成和蓝藻生物量差异显著,对应的蓝藻占总藻生物量的比值分别为18.96%和34.05%.菹草衰亡区的蓝藻表现出更大生物量的原因如下:一是植株体的分解为蓝藻提供了充足的有机质和氮磷物质,为蓝藻的增殖提供了营养来源;二是夏季菹草衰亡导致水体浊度增加,使得蓝藻在竞争中占据了更好生态位,使其具备更大的氮、磷营养盐利用效率.     

航空用碳纤维增强树脂基复合材料低温环境下弯曲性能变化研究

目的研究航空用碳纤维增强中温固化环氧脂基复合材料单向层压板在低温环境下不同试验方式弯曲性能的变化规律。方法通过改变压头半径、跨厚比、以及压头与试样之间有无塑料薄膜衬垫等试验方式,研究-50℃低温环境下不同试验方法弯曲性能的变化规律。结果低温环境下,不同的试验方式对碳纤维增强树脂基复合材料弯曲性能测试数据的影响有所不同。当使用塑料薄膜衬垫时,会显著降低试样上表面压头部位的应力集中,在低温环境下试样弯曲性能变化最低;当压头半径减小时,低温环境对试样弯曲性能影响最显著。结论如需测量温度对试样弯曲性能的影响,建议选择压头半径较小,无塑料薄膜衬垫,跨厚比L/h为32:1的试验方案。     

重金属复合污染下草本植物两两组合水培的富集特性

为了探明草本植物两两组合培养对其重金属富集特性的影响,寻求修复V、Pb、Cd、Cr复合污染的最佳草本植物组合模式,在V、Pb、Cd、Cr 4种重金属〔ρ分别为14.0、0.8、6.0、4.0 mg/L〕共存的水培条件下,研究蒌蒿(Artemisia selengensis turcz)、三叶草(Trifolium repens)、鱼腥草(Houttuynia cordata)和紫花苜蓿(Medicago sativa) 4种草本植物两两组合培养时的重金属富集特性,以及对植物生物量、重金属富集量和转运系数的影响. 结果表明:4种草本植物两两组合培养会在不同程度上影响植物的重金属富集特性,在重金属富集能力方面,蒌蒿、鱼腥草和紫花苜蓿分别与三叶草组合培养时,其地上部分w(Cr)分别比单独培养时提高约157%、303%、639%;两两组合培养时,紫花苜蓿可促进蒌蒿、鱼腥草和三叶草对Pb的吸收. 在重金属转移能力方面,效果最突出的是“三叶草‖紫花苜蓿”组合模式,其中三叶草对V、Pb、Cd、Cr 4种重金属的转运系数分别是单独培养时的1.19、2.52、22.60和1.67倍;对不同组合模式下植物地上部分重金属提取量的分析结果显示,“三叶草‖紫花苜蓿”组合模式对V、Pb、Cd、Cr 4种重金属的提取量均较高,分别为1 555、1 688、473、482 mg/kg,表明该组合模式能够有效缓解地表径流对附近土壤造成的叠加污染. 因此,水培条件下不同草本植物两两组合培养会改变植物的重金属富集特性,并且与植物种类有关.

An empirical study of spatial-temporal growth patterns of a voluntary residential green infrastructure program

Voluntary residential green infrastructure (GI) stormwater management retrofit programs can help cities comply with environmental regulations while also improving quality of life. Previous research has identified influential factors in residents’ willingness to adopt GI, but few have simultaneously studied the spatial and temporal dynamics of GI. I use a six-year record of participation in a voluntary residential GI program in Washington DC to explore how neighborhood characteristics and social influence affect GI adoption over time. Statistical regression and Monte Carlo permutation resampling techniques are used to explain the spatial-temporal patterns of growth of the program. I demonstrate empirical evidence that participation location is increasingly determined by the locations of previous participants. These findings suggest that past participants will increasingly influence spatial clustering of GI in the city.     

Impacts of Bakken Shale Oil Development on Regional Water Uses and Supply

The Bakken shale play in western North Dakota is one of the largest unconventional oilfields in the United States, but published research about impacts on the region's water resources is rare. In this study, besides examining North Dakota water management policies and activities, we also analyzed three datasets: the Bakken horizontal well completion data (2008‐2014), North Dakota permitted water consumption data (2000‐2014), and groundwater level and streamflow observations in western North Dakota (2000‐2014). We found from 2008 to 2014, the annual total industrial water uses for Bakken shale oil development ranged between 0.5 and 10% of statewide total consumptive water use. The percentage increases were between 3.0 and 40% within the Bakken oil production region. The increased population of temporary oilfield service workers contributed additional domestic water use, which was equivalent to ~15% of annual industrial water use for the shale oil development in the Bakken. Despite being in a semiarid region, the impact of Bakken development on regional water supply was limited because the water in the Bakken was adaptively managed and the region received on average over 20% more precipitation than normal during 2008‐2014. Of the 15 glaciofluvial aquifers under study, 12 have seen water levels increasing or unchanged and the water levels for the remaining 3 aquifers have decreased.     

Effects of diabetic neuropathy on body sway and slip perturbation detection in older population.

Postural control is a common mechanism to compensate for unexpected displacements of the body. In the older population, a slip or fall due to a failure of postural control is a common cause of morbidity and mortality. The ability of postural control decreases with aging or neuropathy. In this study, 2 groups, diabetics and non-diabetics in the older population, were compared to determine how patterns of postural sway during quiet standing were related to the detection of perturbation. The SLIP-FALLS system was applied to the measurement of sway and detection of perturbation. In phase 1 of the development of the predictive model, neural network algorithms were applied to find determinant variables for perturbation detection. In phase 2, a fuzzy logic inference system was developed to investigate the relationship between sway and perturbation detection. Results of this study may be applied to the design of floor mats or shoe insoles for preventing fatigue in workplaces.     

Team mental models and team performance: a field study of the effects of team mental model similarity and accuracy

We conducted a field study of 71 action teams to examine the relationship between team mental model similarity and accuracy and the performance of real‐world teams. We used Pathfinder to operationalize team members' taskwork mental models (describing team procedures, tasks, and equipment) and teamwork mental models (describing team interaction processes) and examined team performance as evaluated by expert team assessment center raters. Both taskwork mental model and teamwork mental model similarity predicted team performance. Team mental model accuracy measures were also predictive of team performance. We discuss the implications of our findings and directions for future research. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
