原煤自燃温升对煤码头堆场坑道混凝土构件性能的影响

自燃现象在原煤储运码头堆场经常发生,并对堆场的混凝土构件造成一定程度的影响。自燃与建筑物遭受火灾对混凝土结构的影响有一定的差别,自燃的影响以温升为主。混凝土在持续高温下将产生一系列的物理化学变化,这些变化是结构混凝土在持续温升中产生损伤的主要原因。本文通过原煤自燃火灾对煤码头堆场坑道混凝土构件性能影响的调查,总结特定状态下混凝土构件受持续高温作用的性能,为码头坑道混凝土构件的维护及设计提供参考。     

标准加入法在原子吸收光度法中的应用

介绍了原子吸收光度法中的光谱干扰和非光谱干扰，指出标准加入法和分析校准曲线法是消除和减少某些干扰最简单、快速的校准方法。在标准加入法中，当分析曲线呈线性时，表明分析结果可信，当分析曲线不呈线性，表明方法灵敏度随质量浓度变化而变化，分析结果的准确性有问题。以改变基体的质量浓度和在同一质量浓度的基体溶液中加入不同量的标准两个实验可以验证标准加入法在原子吸收光度法中的适用性。     

云南省玉龙县碳减排效应估算

玉龙县碳减排效应估算主要包括退耕还林、造林、小水电、替代能源(包括沼气池和太阳能)使用等方面. 其中,造林具有较长期的碳汇功能,会持续提供碳增汇服务功能;替代能源的使用可以有效减少薪柴燃烧,在以农村人口为主的玉龙县,薪柴是主要的取暖和生活能源,故替代能源的使用颇具意义. 以2005年为基准年,小水电和替代能源总的碳减排效应为22.24×103 t,其中小水电碳减排效应为14.43 ×103 t,太阳能碳减排效应为66.24 t,沼气池碳减排效应为7.74×103 t;设定了基准年后林木生长过程以及替代能源使用状况的情景,并进行情景模拟,估算了玉龙县造林在5年内会产生碳汇21.07×103 t,10年内会产生碳汇24.92×103 t. 在研究区总的碳减排效应中,小水电、沼气池以及生态林地都有较大贡献,而经济林和草地的贡献相对较小;与5年情景相比,20年情景中小水电和沼气池的贡献有所上升,而生态林地等的贡献相对下降.      

Bridging the gap between the field and the lab: Environmental goods, policy maker input, and consequentiality

This paper explores the criterion validity of stated preference methods through experimental referenda that capture key characteristics of a stated preference survey for a proposed environmental program. In particular, we investigate whether advisory referenda, where participant votes have either known or unknown weight in the policy decision, can elicit values comparable to that of a standard, incentive-compatible referendum. When participants regard their votes as consequential, our results suggest there is no elicitation bias with advisory referenda. For advisory referenda where participants view their votes as inconsequential, and for purely hypothetical referenda, we observe elicitation bias.     

巨厚砾岩作用下底板冲击地压诱发机理及过程

以千秋煤矿21141工作面下巷冲击地压发生的地质和采掘情况为基础,建立煤层巷道底板冲击地压诱发机理模型。水平应力的大小是影响巷道底板岩层稳定性的最主要因素,并确定最大水平应力的计算方法。采场上覆巨厚砾岩层断裂所产生的动载扰动能使巷道底板水平应力瞬间积聚升高。数值模拟分析得出,随着动载应力和加载时间的增加,巷道底板变形量、变形速度和加速度都明显的大幅度增加;同时巷道围岩塑性区也逐渐扩大。研究表明采场上覆巨厚砾岩层断裂、垮落对煤层巷道所产生的动载扰动会诱发规模较大的冲击地压,巷道底板由于缺少有效支护会成为冲击破坏的突破口。     

天津某老年社区夏冬季室内与个体暴露PM2.5对比

于2011年夏季(6月13日—7月2日)和冬季(11月30日—12月12日)在天津市某老年社区采集室内与老年人个体暴露PM_2.5样品,分析二者的质量浓度及化学组分特征. 结果表明:夏、冬季室内ρ(PM_2.5)分别为(138±103)和(173±136)μg/m3,二者差异显著(P<0.05);冬季室内ρ(PM_2.5)、ρ(SO₄2-)和ρ(OC)显著高于夏季(P<0.05),初步推断是由于冬季燃煤取暖排放的大量颗粒物渗透进入室内所致;冬季室内源(如清扫和吸烟)对某些室内PM_2.5组分(Al、Ca和Cd)的贡献较夏季显著. 对个体暴露与室内ρ(PM_2.5)的相关性分析发现,二者在夏、冬季均显著相关(P<0.05). 在受试老年人时间活动模式基础上,采用COD(分歧系数)评估室内和个体暴露PM_2.5化学组成的相似度,结果显示,室内与个体暴露PM_2.5的COD在夏、冬季分别为0.34±0.10和0.37±0.12;冬季受试老年人在交通微环境所处时间较长,致使COD大于0.5的样本数所占比例较夏季高. 室内和老年人个体暴露PM_2.5的ρ(OC)/ρ(EC)在夏、冬季均相近,说明二者的碳组分来源相似.      

人为干扰对江油地区马尾松人工林群落结构和物种多样性的影响

物种多样性是群落功能复杂性和稳定性的重要量度指标,人为干扰对森林群落的影响可以通过群落结构和物种多样性的变化而直接显现,不同干扰强度下的森林群落结构和物种多样性特征不同。采用典型样地法,对比研究两种人为干扰强度（干扰强和弱）对江油地区的马尾松（Pinus massoniana）人工林群落的物种组成、群落结构和物种多样性的影响,采用物种丰富度指数D值、Shannon-wienner指数H值、Simpson优势度指数H′值和均匀度指数Jsw值来综合衡量群落的物种多样性水平。结果表明,（1）在总面积3200 m2的8个样地中记录到124个物种,隶属于105属56科,干扰强的群落各层次物种数均低于干扰弱的群落。（2）不同强度人为干扰下马尾松人工林的群落结构不同,干扰弱的群落径级结构呈近正态分布,在径级Ⅵ（7 cm≤d〈9 cm）处出现数量的峰值26株,群落结构较稳定;干扰强的群落径级结构不呈正态分布,在径级Ⅶ（13 cm≤d〈15 cm）处出现峰值43株。干扰弱和干扰强的群落高度级结构与其径级结构具有相似性,干扰弱的群落的个体主要集中在低中高度级（3≤H〈17）;干扰强的群落的个体数在各高度级分布不均匀,主要分布在中高高度级（H≥13）;干扰强的群落的个体数在各径级和高度级分布相对不均匀,群落结构趋于不稳定。（3）人为干扰对马尾松人工林群落造成负面影响,随着人为干扰强度的增加,物种丰富度指数D值、Shannon-wiener多样性指数H值、均匀度多样性指数Jsw值降低,Simpson优势度指数H′值增大,物种多样性呈下降趋势。     

The Evolution of the Environmental Quality Concept: From the US EPA Red Book to the European Water Framework Directive

- DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1065/espr2006.01.003 Background Water Quality Criteria were firstly defined in the 1970s by the EPA in the USA and the EIFAC in Europe, recognizing the need for protecting water quality in order to allow the use of water resources by man. In the 1990s, the European Commission emphasized the importance of safeguarding structure and function of biologic communities. These approaches were chemically-based. The European Water Framework Directive (WFD) substantially changes the concept of Water Quality, by assuming that a water body needs to be protected as an environmental good and not as a resource to be exploited. In this frame, the biological-ecological quality assumes a prevailing role. Main Features The Water Quality concept introduced by the WFD is a challenge for environmental sciences. Reference conditions should be defined for different typologies of water bodies and for different European ecoregions. Suitable indicators should be developed in order to quantify ecological status and to define what a 'good' ecological status is. Procedures should be developed for correlating the deviation from a good ecological to the effects of multiple stressors on function and structure of the ecosystem. The protection of biodiversity becomes a key objective. In this frame, the traditional procedures for ecotoxicological risk assessment, mainly based on laboratory testing, should be overcome by more site-specific approaches, taking into account the characteristics and the homeostatic capabilities of natural communities. In the paper an overview of the present knowledge and of the new trends in ecotoxicology to get these objectives will be given. A procedure is suggested based on the concept of Species Sensitivity Distribution (SSD). Recommendations and Perspective . The need for more site-specific and ecologically-oriented approaches in ecotoxicology is strongly recommended. The development of new tools for implementing the concept of 'Stress Ecology' has been recently proposed by van Straalen (2003). In the same time, more 'cological realism'is needed in practically applicable procedures for regulatory purposes.     

Building resilience by challenging social norms: integrating a transformative approach within the BRACED consortia

Resilience is a complex phenomenon whereby a multitude of social and environmental factors, including gender, combine to shape the ways that shocks affect people. Looking at two BRACED (Building Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Extremes and Disasters) projects, in Burkina Faso and in Ethiopia, this article uses a desk review and primary data from partners and people at risk to explore how a gender‐transformative approach can be an integral part of resilience‐building projects, particularly those implemented by multi‐stakeholder consortia. It also suggests ways to incorporate a stronger gender component in similar future projects. The article argues that donors and programme managers must provide clear principles and guidelines for achieving gender equity within resilience‐building efforts. However, these must allow flexibility to adapt to norms, needs and resources as determined by implementing partners. The right balance can be achieved by facilitating spaces for individual and collective goal‐setting; assessing current capacity and trajectories; and lesson‐sharing as an iterative process for institutional learning.     

Looking forward: Disasters at 40

This paper reflects on contemporary studies of and responses to disasters, highlighting the importance of historical, spatial, and intersectional modes of analysis, and draws on the author's ongoing research on Southern‐led and local community responses to displacement in the Middle East. Acknowledging the plurality of ‘international communities of response’, it begins by critiquing the depiction of selected responses to disasters as ‘positive’ ‘paradigm shifts’, including in reference to the ‘localisation of aid, and the United Nations’ Regional Refugee and Resilience Plan for Syria. Next it turns to three key themes that are central to disasters studies: migration; forced displacement; and Southern‐led responses to disasters. Among other things, the paper argues that exploring the principles and modalities of South–South cooperation, rather than promoting the incorporation of Southern actors into the ‘international humanitarian system’ via the localisation agenda, presents a critical opportunity for studies of and responses to disasters.
