CHANNEL INSTABILITY IN THE LOESS AREA OF THE MIDWESTERN UNITED STATES1

ABSTRACT: The bess area of the midwestern United States contains thousands of miles of unstable stream channels that are undergoing system‐wide channel‐adjustment processes as a result of (1) modifications to drainage basins dating back to the turn of the 20th century, including land clearing and poor soil‐conservation practices, which caused the filling of stream channels, and consequently (2) direct, human modifications to stream channels such as dredging and straightening to improve drainage conditions and reduce the frequency of out‐of‐bank flows. Today, many of these channels are still highly unstable and threaten bridges, other structures, and land adjacent to the channels. The most severe, widespread instabilities are in western Iowa where a thick cap of bess and the lack of sand‐and gravel‐sized bed sediments in many channels hinders downstream aggradation, bed‐level recovery and the consequent reduction of bank heights, and renewed bank stability. In contrast, streams draining west‐central Illinois, east‐central Iowa, and other areas, where the bess cap is relatively thin and there are ample supplies of sand‐and gravel‐sized material, are closer to recovery. Throughout the region, however, channel widening by mass‐wasting processes is the dominant adjustment process.     

Municipal sludge as landfill barrier material

The aim of this research is to find substitute barrier materials for natural clay from two kinds of municipal sludge: waterworks sludge( Sw ) and dredging sludge( Sd ). Laboratory tests were performed firstly to determine their Atterberg limits and hydraulic conductivity.Based on the results, the use of waterworks sludge was recommended. Then, shear strength tests were performed and it was found the shear resistance property of waterworks sludge is strong enough to maintain slope stability. In order to evaluate the possibility of secondary pollution, the heavy metal contents of waterworks sludge was determined and the results indicated that secondary pollution is unlikely happened. Finally, economic analysis proves that reusing waterworks sludge as barrier will reduce the lost a great for both landfill and waterworks. Based on the results, waterworks sludge was proposed to use and a further long-term simulated landfill test was suggested.     

长期冻融循环下固化铅锌镉复合重金属污染土抗剪强度及浸出特征研究

为了评估长期冻融循环后(最长90d (次))固化复合重金属污染土的的抗剪强度及浸出特征,采用水泥、生石灰和粉煤灰按比例混合的复合固化剂固化/稳定化铅锌镉复合重金属污染土进行三轴压缩试验及毒性特征浸出程序试验.结果表明,固化污染土体的内摩擦角仅在冻融循环3次内有明显增加,增加率高达96.3%;粘聚力在冻融循环30次内总体趋势不断下降,之后无显著变化,最终下降率达到54.23%;Pb²⁺、Zn²⁺、Cd²⁺浸出浓度与冻融循环次数呈正比;EC值与冻融循环次数在总体上正相关;长期冻融循环作用后浸出液的pH值降低.并通过扫描电子显微镜,进一步探究长期冻融循环下固化污染土抗剪强度及浸出特征的劣化机理,结果显示在冻融循环后期固化土体内生成了大量的延迟钙矾石,这些延迟钙矾石在形成过程中的膨胀作用是引起抗剪强度损失、重金属浸出浓度升高的主要原因.     

太赫兹波斜入射均匀非磁化等离子中传输特性研究

目的 研究太赫兹波斜入射均匀非磁化等离子体中的传输特性。方法 根据分层介质中的电磁波传播理论,给出了等离子中太赫兹波的功率反射和透射系数,分析了太赫兹波频率、入射角、等离子体的碰撞频率和电子密度对太赫兹波传输特性的影响。结果 垂直入射时,模型结果与已有文献结果一致;斜入射时,入射角度增大,反射系数增大,透射系数变小。太赫兹波频率增大,反射系数减小,透射系数起初快速增大,而后变得平缓。等离子体的电子密度增大,透射系数减小,碰撞吸收增大,太赫兹波衰减增大。结论 入射角变大,反射率增大。太赫兹波频率较低时,入射角对透射率影响明显。

目的对处于多轴应力状态下的复合型裂纹起裂角进行预测。方法考虑材料的弹性性能,利用商业有限元软件ABAQUS中的Seam裂纹模拟穿透型裂纹损伤,建立双轴载荷作用下中心带孔边裂纹板的三维有限元模型,通过位移外推法得到裂纹尖端的应力强度因子(Stress Intensity Factor,SIF),并利用求得的SIF基于最大周向应力断裂准则预测孔边裂纹的起裂角。结果通过与相关文献结果进行对比,发现通过该有限元方法计算得到的应力强度因子与文献结果的最大误差在2%以内,预测的裂纹起裂角与文献结果的最大误差在3%以内。结论该有限元方法计算的裂纹起裂角与文献结果一致,因此文中求解复合型裂纹起裂角所使用的有限元方法是可靠有效的。     

Effects of Ergorest® Arm Supports on Muscle Strain and Wrist Positions During the Use of the Mouse and Keyboard in Work With Visual Display Units: A Work Site Intervention

The effects of Ergorest^® arm supports on wrist angles and musculoskeletal strain in the neck-shoulder-arm region and electrical activity in the shoulder and arm muscles were studied during typing or the use of the mouse in work with a visual display unit (VDU). Twenty-one women were randomized into 3 groups (1 arm support, 2 arm supports, and control). Measurements were carried out before and after the 6-week intervention. The wrist extension of the mouse hand, the muscle activity of the trapezius muscle, and the subjective discomfort ratings indicated that 2 arm supports were better than 1 in work with a mouse. The Ergorest^® arm support alleviates muscle and joint strain in VDU work when used for both arms.

饥饿期间增加曝气量好氧颗粒污泥的形成特点

高有机负荷率8.0kgCOD(/m3·d)条件下,通过两种不同的曝气方式研究好氧颗粒污泥的形成特点,即在反应器R1中采用恒定的曝气流量,而在反应器R2中,30min曝气后,进行沉淀和排水,然后采用较大的曝气流量进行曝气。研究发现:(1)外部基质在前30min被快速降解,其溶解性有机碳DOC基本被消耗到最低水平;(2)在中途排水后的饥饿状态下增加曝气量的反应器R2相对于曝气量一直不变且中途未排水的R1而言,颗粒变的大而疏松,即:在R2中颗粒尺寸>0.9mm占有93%,而颗粒密度均<1.016g/mL。(3)反应器R2在饥饿状态下增加曝气量可以使胞外多聚物(EPS)糖类被当作基质被消耗。
