Changes in electrical generator cooling systems: Are they cost-effective sources of water now and under climate change?

In the United States, thermal power plant electrical generators (EGs) are large water diverters and consumptive users who need water for cooling. Retrofitting existing cooling systems to dry cooling and building new facilities with dry cooling can save water and reduce EG's vulnerability to drought. However, this can be an expensive source of water. We estimate that the cost of water saved by retrofitting cooling in existing EGs ranges from $0.04/m³ to $18/m³ depending on facility characteristics. Also water savings from building new EGs with dry cooling ranges in cost per unit water from $1.29/m³ to $2.24/m³. We compare costs with that for water development projects identified in the Texas State Water Plan. We find the water cost from converting to dry cooling is lower than many of the water development possibilities. We then estimate the impact of climate change on the cost of water saved, finding climate change can increase EG water use by up to 9.3% and lower the costs of water saved. Generally, it appears that water planners might consider cooling alterations as a cost competitive water development alternative whose cost would be further decreased by climate change.

基于高维Gumbel Copula参数拟合估计的大型相依失效生命线网络地震动力可靠度计算

城市生命线网络的地震动力可靠度是生命线工程地震风险和抗震韧性评估的重要指标。城市生命线网络地震动力可靠度的计算方法包括以蒙特卡洛方法为代表的模拟方法和以推广的递推分解算法为代表的非模拟方法,因为后者能够给出生命线网络的主要失效模式,因而它比模拟方法更为先进。但是,由于存在高维Gumbel Copula参数无法估计的问题,目前推广的递推分解算法还不能计算大型生命线网络（组成生命线网络系统的结构或设备数目大于60）的地震动力可靠度。为解决这个问题,提出了高维Gumbel Copula参数的拟合估计公式,将其嵌入推广的递推分解算法,形成了大型生命线网络地震动力可靠度的计算方法。某实际220 kV变电站设备网络地震动力可靠度的计算和分析,说明了此方法的使用过程、适用范围和有效性。     

三种磺胺类药物对罗非鱼肝脏组织中谷胱甘肽转移酶（GST）和丙二醛（MDA）的影响

研究磺胺嘧啶（sulfadianzine,SDZ）、磺胺二甲基嘧啶（sulfadimidine,SM2）和磺胺甲基异恶唑（sulfamethoxazole,SMZ）三种典型磺胺类抗生素对罗非鱼（Oreochromis niloticus）肝脏谷胱甘肽转移酶（GST）活性和丙二醛（MDA）含量的响应。采用饲料暴露的给药方式,用磺胺药物浓度为4和40g·kg-1的人工配合饲料喂养试验罗非鱼,对照组投喂不含磺胺药物的空白饲料。暴露时间为7d,每天2次投喂饲料,饲料的日投喂量按鱼体重的3%计,分别在24、72和168h采集肝脏样品待测。结果表明各浓度组GST和MDA分别在暴露后72和24h受到最大程度的诱导,其中GST活性比空白组提高了6.72倍,MDA含量比空白组提高了24.75倍。在4g·kg-1的药物浓度下SM2对GST和MDA有最强诱导,在40g·kg-1的药物浓度下三种药物对罗非鱼GST和MDA诱导效应大小顺序为SDZ〉SMZ〉SM2。GST和MDA在磺胺药物诱导下的响应敏感,适合作为磺胺类药物暴露的生物标记物。     

植筋搭接混凝土柱偏心受压性能试验研究

对钢筋混凝土植筋搭接柱在静载作用下的偏心受压破坏进行了探索性的研究。通过试验,得到了试验柱的承载力与锚固长度、跨中弯矩与挠度、荷载与位于搭接段跨中截面受压区混凝土应变等关系曲线。试验结果认为,钢筋混凝土搭接柱在混凝土未被压坏的前提下,发生的钢筋锚固失效主要是锚固强度失效,并确认了植筋试件的薄弱面。另外,试件破坏时的粘结应力随锚固长度的增加逐渐减小。而对FISV360S植筋胶来说,锚固长度的增加能明显地提高试验梁的极限承载力。最后分别提出了临界锚固长度计算公式和试验柱极限承载力计算公式。     

华北暴雨云和降水的中/微尺度结构特征(Ⅰ)——一次暴雨的天气背景研究

为研究华北暴雨形成时的中尺度与微尺度的结构特征,选取发生于2005年7月22-24日的一次华北暴雨过程为研究对象,利用1°×1°的NCEP再分析资料和0.05°×0.05°的FY2C红外TBB资料,对此次暴雨过程发生时的天气形势、水汽输送、大气稳定度、云场特征进行了分析.结果表明:此次暴雨过程是在登陆台风和西风槽的共同影响下产生的,高空槽后的西风急流入侵到华北北部,低层副高西侧的东南急流位于华北东部,使得华北地区上空形成了有利于触发对流的低层辐合和高层辐散的天气形势.低层印度季风与我国南海夏季风对水汽的北上有重要作用,还有一部分水汽系来自副高西侧的东南风急流输送;高层水汽主要是由偏东气流经副高西侧向西,然后转向北输送到华北;华北地区的低层存在较强的水汽辐合,高层存在相对较弱的水汽辐散区,这为暴雨发生提供了必要的水汽条件.     

Aerosol transmission,an indispensable route of COVID-19 spread: case study of a department-store cluster

• Aerosol transmission is an indispensable route of COVID-19 spread. • Different outbreak sites have different epidemiologic feature. • SRAS-CoV-2 can exist for a long time in aerosol. • SRAS-CoV-2 RNA can be detected in aerosol in diverse places. • Some environmental factors can impact SARS-CoV-2 transportation in aerosol. Patients with COVID-19 have revealed a massive outbreak around the world, leading to widespread concerns in global scope. Figuring out the transmission route of COVID-19 is necessary to control further spread. We analyzed the data of 43 patients in Baodi Department Store (China) to supplement the transmission route and epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 in a cluster outbreak. Incubation median was estimated to endure 5.95 days (2–13 days). Almost 76.3% of patients sought medical attention immediately upon illness onset. The median period of illness onset to hospitalization and confirmation were 3.96 days (0–14) and 5.58 days (1–21), respectively. Patients with different cluster case could demonstrate unique epidemiological characteristics due to the particularity of outbreak sites. SRAS-CoV-2 can be released into the surrounding air through patient’s respiratory tract activities, and can exist for a long time for long-distance transportation. SRAS-CoV-2 RNA can be detected in aerosol in different sites, including isolation ward, general ward, outdoor, toilet, hallway, and crowded public area. Environmental factors influencing were analyzed and indicated that the SARS-CoV-2 transportation in aerosol was dependent on temperature, air humidity, ventilation rate and inactivating chemicals (ozone) content. As for the infection route of case numbers 2 to 6, 10, 13, 16, 17, 18, 20 and 23, we believe that aerosol transmission played a significant role in analyzing their exposure history and environmental conditions in Baodi Department Store. Aerosol transmission could occur in some cluster cases when the environmental factors are suitable, and it is an indispensable route of COVID-19 spread.
