A case study on period vehicle routing in a refuse collection system

Period vehicle routing, a multi-period extension of the capacitated vehicle routing problem, is the problem of determining a service combination of each customer as well as the vehicle routes in each period of the planning horizon while satisfying the restrictions on the vehicle capacity and the travel distance (time). The problem can typically be found in refuse collection systems in which end-of-life products or wastes are collected and moved to the facilities where further treatment is taken care of. In this study, we report a case study on the problem for the objective of minimising the fleet size, i.e. the maximum number of vehicles simultaneously required over the planning horizon. To solve the problem, we adopt the two-stage heuristic in which an initial solution is obtained by assigning a service combination to each collection point, and then it is improved by changing the service combination assigned to each collection point. Computational experiment was done on the case data and significant improvement over the conventional method is reported.     

降低采油污水处理中污泥产生量技术研究——室内试验研究——

为了降低采油污水处理过程中产生的污泥量,对“降低采油污水处理中污泥产生量技术”进行了研究,并在采油一厂文一污水站进行了为期66天的现场实验。结果表明,降低采油污水处理污泥产生量技术通过化学反应将污水中的部分离子转变为对污水净化有用的组分,并通过控制污水中的氧含量、pH及离子平衡,达到去除水中悬浮物、控制腐蚀、维持水中离子平衡的目的。当复合碱按600 mg/L加入并使系统的pH值控制在7.0～7.3且絮凝剂、助凝剂加入浓度分别为150 mg/L、100 mg/L时,污水的pH、含油量、总铁、悬浮物由处理前的6.0、109 mg/L、13.5 mg/L、78 mg/L下降为7.0、0、0～0.42、1～2,滤膜系数为35;污水腐蚀速率为0.0691 mm/a;处理后水中SRB、TGB含量分别为0、101个/mL;经中国科学院渗流流体力学研究所等单位监测和技术评价证实,处理后污水与地层水配伍性良好,对地层不伤害,所产生污泥可初步用做建筑材料。

When do you procrastinate? Sleep quality and social sleep lag jointly predict self‐regulatory failure at work

This study investigates antecedents of procrastination, the tendency to delay the initiation or completion of work activities. We examine this phenomenon from a self‐regulation perspective and argue that depleted self‐regulatory resources are an important pathway to explain why and when employees procrastinate. The restoration of self‐regulatory resources during episodes of non‐work is a prerequisite for the ability to initiate action at work. As sleep offers the opportunity to replenish self‐regulatory resources, employees should procrastinate more after nights with low‐quality sleep and shorter sleep duration. We further propose that people's social sleep lag amplifies this relationship. Social sleep lag arises if individuals' preference for sleep and wake times, known as their chronotype, is misaligned with their work schedule. Over five consecutive workdays, 154 participants completed a diary study comprising online questionnaires. Multilevel analyses showed that employees procrastinated less on days when they had slept better. The more employees suffered from social sleep lag, the more they procrastinated when sleep quality was low. Day‐specific sleep duration, by contrast, was not related to procrastination. We discuss the role of sleep for procrastination in the short run and relate our findings to research highlighting the role of sleep for well‐being in the long run.

丙烯氨氧化制丙烯腈反应器开车过程尾气燃爆危险性研究

丙烯直接氨氧化制丙烯腈工艺由于反应温度高,且反应器内的气相空间存在丙烯、丙烷、丙烯腈、乙腈、氧气、氮气等可燃性气体混合物,极易发生燃爆危险。为研究和评估该工艺装置反应器尾气的燃爆特性,采用11 L爆轰管测试在400℃、40 k Pa (G)工艺条件下,装置开车进料及反应过程中不同进料配比时反应器尾气组成的爆炸极限,并以此绘制爆炸极限三元相图,最终得到爆炸极限和极限氧体积分数。结果表明:反应器内可燃尾气的爆炸上限随氧气体积分数增加而升高,爆炸下限没有明显变化;在开车进料及反应过程中,反应器可燃尾气的极限氧体积分数LOC范围在8. 0%～8. 5%。因此,为避免反应器气相空间在开车过程中发生燃爆危险,需监测反应器内氧气体积分数,并设置氧体积分数报警值小于8. 0%。     

When and where do we see the proximity effect of a new park? –A case study of the Dream Forest in Seoul,Korea

This study aimed to unpack the dynamic proximity effects of a park on residential values in the urban regeneration context: first by the development phase of the park, and second, by specific characteristics of the residential units. The study site is the Dream Forest in Seoul, South Korea, and the study period is from 2006 to 2015. The two-fold multilevel regression analysis suggests that the Dream Forest began exerting proximity effects from the time of site acquisition by the city, which peaked at a 3.7% price increment per 100-meter distance to the park from a prototypical housing unit, soon after the public announcement of the park procurement plan. During construction, inauguration and stabilization, the effect has remained at around 3.0%. The analysis also suggests that the proximity effect applies unevenly to housing units: apartment type or older housing units are more sensitive to the externality effects than their counterparts – multifamily type or newer housing units.     

Spectroscopic studies of dye-surfactant interactions with the co-existence of heavy metal ions for foam fractionation

The interaction between a cationic dye Methylene Blue (MB) and an anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) with the presence of Cd²⁺ was investigated spectrophotometrically in a certain concentration range. The spectrophotometric measurements of dye-metal ion-surfactant system were carried out. The results indicated that the SDS concentration had a significant influence on the dye spectrum, while the addition of Cd²⁺ hardly caused change of the maximum value of absorbance. According to this observation, we concluded that electrostatic and hydrophobic interaction between dye and surfactant occurred up to a certain level, and the homo-ions Cd²⁺ almost exerted no effect on the dye-surfactant complexation, establishing a theoretical foundation for simultaneous removal of organic dye and heavy metal using foam fractionation. Meanwhile, the effects of their interaction on foam performance were investigated. The results showed that the addition of Cd²⁺ favored the tendency to ameliorate foam properties just contrary to MB. The feasibility of foam separation for dye and heavy metal removal from simulated wastewater was also confirmed using a continuous foam fractionator. In the simultaneous removal process, with the initial SDS concentration ranging from 0.5 to 5.0 mmol/L, the maximum removal efficiencies of MB and Cd²⁺ were obtained as 99.69% and 99.61%, respectively. The enrichment ratios were reduced from 24.34 to 7.65 for MB and from 22.01 to 3.35 for Cd²⁺.
