Sociodemographic effects on place bonding

Patterns of amenity migration and recreational home development in much of the USA since the 1990s are changing the local sociodemographic make-up and the relationships formed among people and place. We use the psychological constructs of place attachment, place identity, and place dependence to assess differences in these relationships among new and long-time residents and absentee and local residents in three rural counties in the Inland Northwest. We measured place bonding using data from a mail survey of local (n = 531) and absentee (n = 239) property owners. We compared structural models suggested in the literature on the psychology of place, and found that a two-dimensional model representing place attachment and place identity was appropriate for both local and absentee property owners. Local owners exhibited stronger place attachment and place identity than absentee owners. Place bonding constructs were also substantially less impacted by the total number of years a property owner had resided on his or her property than by the number of months per year they lived on the property. The findings indicate that sociodemographic changes such as those manifested in second-home development may lead to a population that is less emotionally, behaviorally, and cognitively connected to the places in question, while sociodemographic changes from permanent in-migration may have a substantially smaller effect on place bonding.

水蚯蚓微生物共生系统的脱氮特性

采用泥水同步降解的"水蚯蚓-微生物共生系统",考察了该系统污泥减量能力以及污染物去除性能,研究了水蚯蚓对共生系统脱氮特性的影响。结果表明,与对照组相比,实验组污泥减量率为25.0%,污泥性状无明显差异。实验组氨氮与总氮去除率明显低于对照组,实验组每周期单位质量活性污泥氨氮与总氮去除质量分别为6.63 mg/g与5.81mg/g,均低于对照组。共生系统脱氮性能下降主要由水蚯蚓含氮物质释放引起,活性污泥本身硝化能力没有降低,反而略有提高,反硝化能力没有明显改变。"水蚯蚓-微生物共生系统"对中低氨氮浓度的废水处理具有较大的潜力。     

武汉东湖水生植物生态学研究：Ⅲ沉水植被重建的可行性研究

根据武汉东湖水体光学性质,营养状况和东湖现存水生植被的分布状况,对东湖各湖区重建沉水植被的可行性作了探讨,认为东湖大部分湖区恢复沉水植物是可行的。牛巢湖,汤林湖,后湖等湖区一旦停止放养草食性鱼类,加之适当的人工促进措施,沉水植物完全可以恢复。     

Thermochemical characteristics of dairy manure and its derived biochars from a fixed-bed pyrolysis

Based on the data on the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), oven-dried dairy manure was performed at moderate temperatures (673–1,073 K) with proper residence time of 60 min by a vertical fixed-bed pyrolyzer. The thermochemical properties of the dairy manure and its biochar products, such as elemental analysis and calorific value (higher heating value), were investigated to evaluate their potential use as biomass fuel. Furthermore, the true densities of the manure-derived biochars were also obtained to relate the property with their thermochemical properties. It showed that the calorific value of the dairy manure-derived biochar (denoted as DMBC) was on increasing trend with temperature, while its maximal increase occurred at around 873 K. This result was in high agreement with the data on the yields and carbon contents of DMBC products. By contrast, their contents of H, N, and O decreased slightly due to the devolatilization because of thermal decomposition reactions like depolymerization and carbonization. The optimal manure-derived biochar revealed an excellent characterization with high content of carbon (60 wt%) and calorific value (22.3 MJ/kg), low contents of nitrogen (0.5 wt%), and no traces of sulfur and heavy metals, suggesting that DMBC can be used as a solid fuel for energy use.     

地下硐室的几何特性对松动圈范围的影响

松动圈是岩体地下硐室稳定性评价和设计的重要指标之一。地下硐室的几何特性对松动圈的范围有一定的影响。运用显式有限差分法,从地下硐室的断面积、高度和跨度以及断面形状等方面就地下硐室的几何性质对松动圈影响的问题进行了数值模拟研究。结果表明:随着断面面积的增大,松动圈范围扩大,扩展速度加快;随着断面跨高比的增大,松动圈范围增大;高跨比变化对松动圈范围的影响较小;断面形状对松动圈范围及扩展速度有很大影响。研究结果对地下硐室的开挖以及衬砌设计具有参考意义。

制度压力对企业环境责任的影响——来自中国上市公司的证据

环境问题是社会各界广泛关注的焦点,而企业是造成环境污染的主体之一,也是环境制度压力的主要调控对象,如何引导和控制企业履行环境责任已成为一个亟须研究的重大议题。根据制度理论,以中国上市公司7459个观测值为基础,采用固定效应模型系统评估了制度压力对企业环境责任的影响,还引入企业环境战略、内部控制作为调节变量进行分析。研究结果表明：制度压力能显著促进企业环境责任的提升;企业环境战略、内部控制等因素正向调节了制度压力与企业环境责任的关系,并且制度压力对企业环境责任的影响在非国有企业、地方国有企业中更强。以上结论在一系列的稳健性检验、反事实检验之后依然成立。这些结论启发了企业管理者运用企业环境战略、内部控制等企业自身因素强化企业环境责任,同时为政府根据企业不同情况有针对性地制定环境政策提供了理论依据。
