Mesoscale modeling of wintertime particulate matter episodes in eastern Washington, USA

The Spokane, Washington area is classified as a non-attainment area for the 24-h PM₁₀ standard due to a history of high particulate matter concentrations. A Eulerian regional air quality model (CALMET/CALGRID) has been used to characterize the emission, transport and dispersion of PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 in Spokane. Observations from a residential site (Rockwood, RW) and an industrial site (Crown Zellerbach, CZ), spanning July 1994–August 1996 were used to evaluate the current emission inventory. Two major tasks were devised to conduct the objectives of this investigation. First, a simple and efficient urban dispersion model (WYNDValley) was used to simulate important episodes characterized by the highest PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 concentrations. The selected episodes included four days with wet conditions for which no roads would have been emitting and seven days with dry conditions for which roads would emit. In the second step, a single road-emitting event was selected from the previous predicted results for further analysis using the Eulerian regional air quality model to examine the emission inventory. The urban and regional models predicted the observed concentration distributions reasonably well for the source emissions inventoried in Spokane. The mass concentrations of PM₁₀ were well predicted for the roads emitting case examined by both models indicating that the emission inventory based primarily upon area sources including roads is reasonably well characterized, at least at the RW site. The area sources around CZ are less well characterized, so that the PM₁₀ concentrations are underpredicted at CZ. The models appear unable to reach an equilibrium mass balance status at the beginning of the simulation, and the urban model seems unable to properly resolve the nocturnal boundary layer.     

环境因子对红斑顠体虫生长的影响

讨论了环境中氨氮的浓度、pH值、盐度、温度对红斑顠体虫生长的影响.结果表明,在pH值为7时,氨氮对红斑顠体虫的急性毒性半致死浓度为264mg/L;红斑顠体虫对氨氮长期接触时的最大可接受浓度在20～50mg/L;氨氮对红斑顠体虫的毒性随pH值的增加而增加;盐度在1000mg/L以下,对红斑顠体虫的死亡没有影响;温度在15～30℃,红斑顠体虫的表观增长速率满足Arrhenius拟合,其表观增长率随温度增加而增大,但35℃时红斑顠体虫的生长减缓.     

大亚湾日本星杆藻种群动态及其与环境因子的关系

研究了1997～1998年及1999和2000年春季大亚湾日本星杆藻(Asterionella japonica)种群动态及其与环境因子之间的关系.日本星杆藻是大亚湾浮游植物常见优势种类,可在全年温度范围(14～32.8℃)内形成数量高峰,并发生水华.日本星杆藻在1998年和2000年春季不常出现,但1999年春丰富的营养盐含量及它们之间合适的比值、多变的水温、稳定的盐度和晴朗的天气使日本星杆藻迅速生长,并发生了水华,最高细胞密度达5255cells/mL.水华消耗了大量的营养,水华期间DIN、DIP和Dsi分别下降了76.0%、69.7%和58.8%,而且营养元素的消耗特别是DIN的耗尽是水华消退的重要原因,而桡足类等浮游动物摄食也是水华消退的原因之一.     

耕地流转农户行为影响因素的实证分析——基于江西省1396户农户耕地流转行为现状的调研

论文利用江西省42个县(区)74个行政村1396户农户的抽样调查数据,通过建立耕地流转行为与各自变量的Logistic回归计量模型,从家庭特征因素、家庭经济因素和资源禀赋因素三方面分析了农户耕地流出和流入行为的影响因素。研究表明:外出打工对耕地流出影响最大,是农户耕地流出的最大驱动力;而经济收入与耕地流转是互为因果的关系,耕地流入户的经济收入存在明显低于流出户的经济收入的趋势;地形特征对耕地流出行为有明显影响,地形越平坦,越容易流出,同样耕地越破碎,越不易被流入户接受。     

卫生和生物反应器填埋场夏季N2O释放的研究

采用静态箱/气相色谱(GC)法现场监测了杭州市天子岭废弃物处理总场卫生填埋场和生物反应器填埋单元夏季的N₂O释放通量,并讨论了相关影响因素. 研究发现:卫生填埋场覆土后N₂O释放通量(以N₂O-N计)随垃圾填埋龄的增加而大幅降低,其均值(18.07 μg/(m2·h))为生物反应器填埋单元(5.57 μg/(m2·h))的3倍多. 垃圾填埋龄、覆土土质与结构及填埋场操作方式是影响填埋场N₂O释放的主要因素,这些因素均主要通过改变覆土的理化特性而影响N₂O的释放. 采用多元线性逐次回归分析得到:卫生填埋场N₂O与覆土含水率和有机碳(SOC)质量分数构成的线性方程显著相关(R2＝0.86,P<0.01);生物反应器填埋单元N₂O的释放通量与覆土含水率、碳氮比(w(C)/w(N))和w(NO₃-)构成的线性方程显著相关(R2=0.89,P<0.01).      

Real-world vehicle emission factors in Chinese metropolis city--Beijing

The dynamometer tests with different driving cycles and the real-world tests are presented. Results indicated the pollutants emission factors and fuel consumption factor with ECE15 EUDC driving cycle usually take the lowest value and with real wodd driving cycle occur the highest value, and different driving cycles will lead to significantly different vehicle emission factors with the same vehicle. Relative to the ECE15 EUDC driving cycle, the increasing rate of pollutant emission factors of CO, NOx and HC are - 0.42--2.99, - 0.32--0.81 and - 0.11--11 with FTP75 testing, 0.11--1.29, - 0.77--0.64 and 0.47--10.50 with Beijing 1997 testing and 0.25--1.83, 0.09--0.75 and - 0.58--1.50 with real wodd testing. Compared to the carburetor vehicles, the retrofit and MPI TWC vehicles‘ pollution emission factors decrease with different degree. The retrofit vehicle (Santana) will reduce 4.44%--58.44% CO, - 4.95%--36.79% NOx, -32.32%--33.89% HC, and -9.39%--14.29% fuel consumption, and especially that the MPI TWC vehicle will decrease CO by 82.48%--91.76%, NOx by 44.87%--92.79%, HC by 90.00%--93.89% and fuel consumption by 5.44%--10.55%. Vehicles can cause pollution at a very high rate when operated in high power modes; however, they may not often operate in these high power modes. In analyzing vehicle emissions, it describes the fraction of time that vehicles operate in various power modes. In Beijing, vehicles spend 90% of their operation in low power modes or decelerating.     

膜生物法降解TNT弹药销毁废水的重要影响因素

采用水解酸化一好氧膜生物工艺对弹药销毁废水中TNT进行降解试验研究。结果表明,共代谢外加碳源对TNT的生物降解影响显著。无共代谢外加碳源的情况下,HRT=40h,TNT的去除率仅为53．4％。有共代谢外加碳源的情况下,外加碳源COD与TNT提供COD比值宜大于4．8,系统对TNT的去除率可高达99％。温度对水解酸化影响重大,当温度低于15℃时,水解酸化对TNT去除率低于33．3％,而当温度高于20℃时,水解酸化对TNT的去除率不小于83％。     

城市污水生化处理水UV/O3法深度处理效果及影响因素研究

研究城市污水生化处理水的深度处理技术及其影响因素,对于减轻环境污染和实现废水回用具有重要理论意义和实用价值。考察了UV／O3法对城市污水生化处理水深度处理的效果及其影响因素。结果表明,由于UV／O3过程具有氧化能力强,反应无选择性等优点,使其在城市污水生化处理水深度处理方面较普通O3氧化更具有优势,50min时CODCr去除率达到90％以上,达到了深度处理的目的。对于难氧化有机物,UV／O3法处理时几乎大部分都被氧化分解残留量很少,而O3法处理时仍有较多难氧化有机物残留。UV／O3法处理城市污水生化处理水时,在pH=6～9时,CODCr去除率随pH的升高而降低,表明较低pH（pH=5）有利CODCr的去除。有机污泥对CODCr去除率基本没有影响。但无机悬浮物SiO2对CODCr去除率影响较大,投加70mg／L的SiO2后CODCr氧化速率和去除率有较明显下降。随溶液碱度的增加,CODCr的去除率下降,碱度越高对CODCr去除的影响也越明显。     

The theory behind,and the challenges of,conserving nature's stage in a time of rapid change

Most conservation planning to date has focused on protecting today's biodiversity with the assumption that it will be tomorrow's biodiversity. However, modern climate change has already resulted in distributional shifts of some species and is projected to result in many more shifts in the coming decades. As species redistribute and biotic communities reorganize, conservation plans based on current patterns of biodiversity may fail to adequately protect species in the future. One approach for addressing this issue is to focus on conserving a range of abiotic conditions in the conservation‐planning process. By doing so, it may be possible to conserve an abiotically diverse “stage” upon which evolution will play out and support many actors (biodiversity). We reviewed the fundamental underpinnings of the concept of conserving the abiotic stage, starting with the early observations of von Humboldt, who mapped the concordance of abiotic conditions and vegetation, and progressing to the concept of the ecological niche. We discuss challenges posed by issues of spatial and temporal scale, the role of biotic drivers of species distributions, and latitudinal and topographic variation in relationships between climate and landform. For example, abiotic conditions are not static, but change through time—albeit at different and often relatively slow rates. In some places, biotic interactions play a substantial role in structuring patterns of biodiversity, meaning that patterns of biodiversity may be less tightly linked to the abiotic stage. Furthermore, abiotic drivers of biodiversity can change with latitude and topographic position, meaning that the abiotic stage may need to be defined differently in different places. We conclude that protecting a diversity of abiotic conditions will likely best conserve biodiversity into the future in places where abiotic drivers of species distributions are strong relative to biotic drivers, where the diversity of abiotic settings will be conserved through time, and where connectivity allows for movement among areas providing different abiotic conditions.     

基于矩形巷道应力特征点的空间数据分析

为得出矩形巷道围岩应力空间分布特征,将复变函数理论推导得出的曲线坐标应力分量转换为巷道所在平面的直角坐标应力分量,采用Matlab软件对巷道应力特征点的空间数据进行分析,得出了巷道围岩应力场分布直观图。并考虑了侧压系数、高宽比及巷道断面尺寸等对围岩应力场的影响,结果表明,应力峰值随侧压系数的增大而增大。应力峰值出现在矩形巷道的四角上,与侧压系数、高宽比、巷道断面面积无关。侧压系数大于1时,顶底板水平应力和最大主应力均随侧压系数增大而增大,两帮垂直应力随侧压系数增大而减小;垂直应力峰值、两帮垂直应力随高宽比增加而减小,顶底板的水平应力和最大主应力随高宽比增加而增加。围岩应力变化规律与巷道断面面积无关。
