Novel method for in situ visualization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in mangrove plants

Two-photon laser confocal scanning microscopy (TPLCSM) was first used to visualize the uptake and movement of naphthalene (NAP), phenanthrene (PHE), and pyrene (PYR), from separately contaminated hydroponics solutions into living Kandelia candel (L.) Druce seedlings. With this non-destructive and non-chemical extraction technique, the experimental results revealed that three types of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were observed moving into the K. candel and its translocation to radicle, hypocotyl and leaf, and the transmission rates of these PAH in the K. candel were in the order of NAP?>?PHE?>?PYR. Data demonstrate the manner in which PAH enter, transport, and distribute within the K. candel, and provided us some valuable information on uptake and translocation mechanism of PAH. These findings may help to optimize the phytoremediation strategies of PAH in mangrove wetlands.     

Kinetics and mechanisms of reactions for hydrated electron with chlorinated benzenes in aqueous solution

The reactions between chlorinated benzenes (CBzs) and hydrated electron (eaq-) were investigated by the electron beam (EB) and laser flash photolysis (LFP) experiments. Under the EB irradiation, the effects of irradiation dose, initial concentration and the number of Cl atoms on the removal efficiencies were further examined. At 10 kGy, the removal efficiencies of mono-CB, 1,3-diCB, 1,2-diCB and 1,4-diCB were 41.2%, 87.2%, 84.0%, and 84.1%, respectively. While irradiation dose was 50 kGy, the removal efficiencies increased to 47.4%, 95.8%, 95.0%, and 95.2%, respectively. Irradiation of CBzs solutions has shown that the higher the initial concentration, the lower the percentage of CBzs removal. In addition to this, the dechlorination efficiencies of 1,2-dichlorobenzene (1,2-diCB), 1,3-dichlorobenzene (1,3-diCB) and 1,4-dichlorobenzene (1,4-diCB) were much higher than that of chlorobenzene (mono-CB). The kinetics of the reactions was achieved with nanosecond LFP. The rate constants of second-order reaction between eaq- with mono-CB, 1,2-diCB, 1,3-diCB and 1,4-diCB were (5.3±0.4) × 10⁸, (4.76±0.1) × 10⁹, (1.01±0.1) × 10¹⁰ and (3.29±0.2) × 10⁹ L·mol^-1·s^-1, respectively. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to determine the optical properties of unstable CBzs anion radicals, and the main absorption peaks lied in the range of 300–550 nm. The primary reaction pathway of CBzs with eaq- was gradual dechlorination, and the major products were Cl^- and benzene (CBzs(-Cl^-)). Furthermore, biphenyl (or chlorobiphenyl) was observed during the LFP, which was probably formed by recombination of benzene radicals.     

激光点火器耐压密封及其影响

目的促进激光点火技术在安全弹药领域的应用。方法从激光点火器作用后承受高动态压力的需求出发,研究基于玻璃封接技术的激光点火器密封性能及其影响因素。确定采用箱式电阻炉对激光点火器壳体与透镜间进行玻璃密封的温度为430℃,保温时间为13～15min。对不同始发装药、不同密封工艺的激光点火器透镜发火后,其表面光学膜层变化、与激光点火器相连接的光纤端面损伤程度进行分析,研究点火前后承受气压性能变化。结果始发装药为BPN等点火类药剂时,激光点火器具有较高的动态密封性能,可稳定达到30 MPa下2 min不泄露;始发装药为BNCP等起爆类药剂时,随着装药量的增大,密封性能变差。结论改善玻璃封接工艺有利于提高密封性,如封接长度变长,发火后耐压密封性会有所提升。     

供水管网不同管材内壁微生物分布的显微观察

采用扫描电镜、原子力显微镜以及激光共聚焦显微镜对不锈钢插片表面和供水管网末端PPR管内壁微生物的分布和生物膜结构进行了观察和分析.结果表明,在供水管网中,不锈钢材质表面不利于微生物附着生长,在短时间内(3个月)只有很少的微生物附着.在管网末端PPR管表面有明显的微生物附着生长,细菌容易附着在基底表面的凹穴中,细菌与基底是紧密黏附在一起的.扫描电镜和原子力显微镜结合是观察管壁非连续生长生物膜表面结构的有效手段.采用激光扫描共聚焦显微镜可同时实现管壁生物膜内部和三维结构观察.     

2种环境空气中甲烷自动监测方法的比对分析

光腔衰荡光谱法(CRDS)和气相色谱法（GC）均被广泛应用于环境空气中甲烷（CH₄）的测定。采用CRDS和GC这2种自动监测方法对CH₄标准气体和环境空气样品进行分析比对。结果表明,通过使用统一的标准气体和校准方法,2种方法测定CH₄标准气体的不确定度均＜0.5%,CRDS法的不确定度更低;2种方法测定CH₄环境空气样品结果的平均相对误差为0.28%,Z检验法显示,2种方法没有显著性差异,并具有很高的相关性和一致性。提出,对于测量精度和稳定性更高的大气CH₄监测领域,建议优先选用CRDS法或经过比对达到同等性能的方法;而对于测量精度和稳定性要求稍低的CH₄排放源及周边等监测领域,可以采用GC法。     

Adoption and economic impacts of laser land leveling in the irrigated rice-wheat system in Haryana,India using endogenous switching regression

This study assesses the factors affecting the adoption of laser land leveling (LLL) and its impact on crop yields and net returns. It uses household survey data collected from 621 randomly selected farmers in Karnal District of Haryana, India, and applies endogenous switching regression models. Unbiased model results show that the adoption of LLL has significant positive impacts on yields (rice +549 kg ha⁻¹; wheat +471 kg ha⁻¹) and net returns (an aggregate increase of US$230/ha) in the rice-wheat production system, thereby raising farmers' income substantially. Our results show that LLL adoption at the farm level is influenced by land size and quality, tenure system, availability of farm machinery (tractor), access to finance and farm cooperatives, gender of household head, level of education and training and access to extension services. Therefore, LLL scaling strategies need to consider these bio-physical and socio-economic parameters to reach adoption at scale and generate large social, economic, and environmental benefits.     

Methane emissions from a dairy feedlot during the fall and winter seasons in Northern China

Accurately determining methane emission factors of dairy herd in China is imperative because of China’s large population of dairy cattle. An inverse dispersion technique in conjunction with open-path lasers was used to quantify methane emissions from a dairy feedlot during the fall and winter seasons in 2009-2010. The methane emissions had a significant diurnal pattern during both periods with three emission peaks corresponding to the feeding schedule. A 10% greater emission rate in the fall season was obtained most likely by the higher methane emission from manure during that period. An annual methane emission rate of 109 ± 6.7 kg CH₄ yr⁻¹ characterized with a methane emission intensity of 32.3 ± 1.59 L CH₄ L⁻¹ of milk and a methane conversion factor (Y_m) of 7.3 ± 0.38% for mature cattle was obtained, indicating the high methane emission intensity and low milk productivity in Northern China.

激光散射法和便携式氢火焰离子化检测器法直读监测油烟排放

餐饮业油烟排放具有排放浓度不稳定、波动较大、排放时间短等特性，存在瞬时排放高值现象，油烟"看得见"和"闻得着"的问题依然存在，因此对油烟实现快速、及时、直读监测尤为必要。基于一种浓度可控且稳定的油烟产生技术，对直读激光散射法与经典手工称重法测定油烟颗粒物浓度值的数据线性关系进行了分析，发现2种方法数值的相关系数达0.99，通过直读修正激光散射法可以有效地测定油烟颗粒物浓度，并测定了不同水汽含量下油烟颗粒物排放情况，发现当相对湿度超过70%时，油烟颗粒物浓度测定值会发生突变。使用便携式氢火焰离子化检测器法（FID）和光离子化检测器法（PID）测定了不同油温下油烟中非甲烷总烃（NMHC）浓度，发现FID对油烟中NMHC的变化反应及时，能够较好地测定油烟中挥发性有机物的排放量。
