The Influence of Anchor Devices on the Performance of Retractable Type Fall Arresters Protecting Against Falls From a Height

Retractable type fall arresters are part of the equipment used for protecting people against falls from a height. They are an intermediate part between full body harness worn by a man and the structural anchor at the worksite. The most important task of retractable type fall arresters is to arrest people’s falls and to reduce their harmful consequences. Information received from users as well as laboratories testing protective equipment indicates that the performance of such equipment is incorrect under specific conditions. The paper is concerned with an analysis of the conditions in which retractable type fall arresters demonstrate intermittent performance and with an explanation of that phenomenon. The results of tests investigating anchor devices and the performance of retractable type fall arresters are presented. External and internal factors contributing to intermittent performance have been determined and guidelines for safer use of these devices have been developed.

亚热带土壤氮素反硝化过程中N2O的排放和还原

将采集于江西鹰潭的45个发育于不同成土母质和不同利用方式的土壤样本,在密闭、淹水、充N2的严格厌氧条件下进行了28d的培养试验(30℃),在培育过程中,定期测定NO3--N(加入量为200mg·kg-1)含量和培养瓶上部空间N2O的含量变化.实验结果表明,N2O含量(N)随培养时间t的变化可用方程N=A×(1-exp(-k1 t))-B×exp(k2 t)拟合(A表示培养过程中N2O总排放量;B为常数;k1和k2分别为N2O排放速率常数和还原速率常数,拟合值和实测值之间回归方程的决定系数R2=0.84±0.11).不同土壤之间培养期间N2O总排放量(A)的变异可以用培养7d内被反硝化的NO3--N量和N2O排放率(A值与28d内被反硝化的NO3--N总量的百分比)进行解释(R2=0.829,p＜0.01).被反硝化的NO3--N量则主要受土壤有机碳含量或有机氮矿化量控制,N2O排放率则随k2的增大而呈指数下降(p＜0.01).由此可见,在该实验条件下,还原N2O能力强的土壤,在相同量的NO3--N被反硝化的情形下,排放的N2O可能较少.但影响k2值的主要因素还有待进一步研究.

Suitability of short or long conservation contracts under ecological and socio-economic uncertainty

Acquisition of land rights has become a primary tool used to protect terrestrial biodiversity. Fixed length contracts are often used when trying to secure conservation benefits on private land in agri-environment schemes and payment for environmental services schemes, but the duration of the conservation contracts used in different programmes varies. To date, very little research has been undertaken to determine the situations in which contracts of differing lengths are optimal or when conservation agencies or groups should use a portfolio of different contract lengths rather than relying on a single type. Using stochastic dynamic programming and related heuristic methods, we investigate how the choice between short or long conservation contracts is affected by uncertainty regarding the future availability of sites and their ecological condition. We also examine the benefits offered by using a portfolio of different contract lengths. Conservation agencies must pay private landowners a premium to secure longer agreements and because of this, shorter contracts are advantageous if sites are likely to remain available for conservation in the future. Long contracts are preferred when future site availability becomes more unlikely. In contrast to uncertainty over site availability, uncertainty over future ecological conditions has little effect on contract selection and only markedly influences the choice between short and long contracts when there is heterogeneity across sites in expected conservation outcomes and future availability of sites is also uncertain. Finally, when future site availability is unlikely, the use of a portfolio of short and long contracts would offer greater conservation gains than using either type in isolation, even though this option is not yet one that is commonly found in conservation practice.
