Spectral tests of randomness for spatial point patterns

We develop a spectral framework for testing the hypothesis of complete spatial randomness (CSR) for a spatial point pattern. Five formal tests based on the periodogram (sample spectrum) proposed in Mugglestone (1990) are considered. A simulation study is used to evaluate and compare the power of the tests against clustered, regular and inhomogeneous alternatives to CSR. A subset of the tests is shown to be uniformly more powerful than the others against the alternatives considered. The spectral tests are also compared with three widely used space-domain tests that are based on the mean nearest-neighbor distance, the reduced second-order moment function (K-function), and a bivariate Cramér-von Mises statistic. The test based on the scaled cumulative R-spectrum is more powerful than the space-domain tests for detecting clustered alternatives to CSR, especially when the number of events is small.

Research of Toxic Mechanism on Anaerobic Digestion by Lead

The paper analyzes the influence of lead toxicity by anaerobic granule sludge inhibition and recovering experiments. The result shows that there are different inhibition types at different lead contents. Higher lead content leads to more inhibition granular sludge, and at the same time, the time of gas recovery is different. Lower lead content per microorganism results in sooner sludge recovery. Microorganisms have a good ability to resist lead toxicity.     

Effect of six kinds of scale inhibitors on calcium carbonate precipitation in high salinity wastewater at high temperatures

Precipitation of calcium carbonate(Ca CO3) scale on heat transfer surfaces is a serious and expensive problem widely occurring in numerous industrial processes. In this study, we compared the scale inhibition effect of six kinds of commercial scale inhibitors and screened out the best one(scale inhibitor SQ-1211) to investigate its scale inhibition performance in highly saline conditions at high temperature through static scale inhibition tests. The influences of scale inhibitor dosage, temperature, heating time and p H on the inhibition efficiency of the optimal scale inhibitor were investigated. The morphologies and crystal structures of the precipitates were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-ray Diffraction analysis. Results showed that the scale inhibition efficiency of the optimal scale inhibitor decreased with the increase of the reaction temperature. When the concentration of Ca2+was 1600 mg/L, the scale inhibition rate could reach 90.7% at 80°C at p H 8. The optimal scale inhibitor could effectively retard scaling at high temperature. In the presence of the optimal scale inhibitor, the main crystal structure of Ca CO3 changed from calcite to aragonite.     

Experimental and theoretical research on the inhibition performance of ethanol gasoline/air explosion by C6F12O

The safety issue of ethanol gasoline and the methods to control or weaken its explosion have attracted attention. To clarify the effect of C₆F₁₂O (perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone)) on the explosion of ethanol gasoline-air mixtures and intrinsic mechanism, the explosion overpressure and flame propagation behavior under different equivalence ratios (φ = 0.6–0.8) and C₆F₁₂O concentrations (χ_inh = 0–4.0%) were experimentally obtained. The detailed inhibitor reaction process was also obtained by CHEMKIN based on a new assembly kinetic mechanism. The results show that the effects of C₆F₁₂O on the explosion characteristics of ethanol gasoline varied with χ_inh and φ. For rich flames, C₆F₁₂O is more effective than and heptafluoropropane (C₃HF₇) and nitrogen (N₂) in suppressing explosions; for lean and equivalence ratio flames, the addition of C₆F₁₂O may result in more severe explosions. The decrease in chemical reactivity is mainly because the mole fractions of OH and H radicals and the proportion of paths H radicals involved decrease after adding C₆F₁₂O, and R1500: CF₃COF + H = CF₃CO + HF, R965: CF₂:O + H = CF:O + HF, R863: CF₃ + H = CF₂ + HF are main suppressing reactions.     

溶解性有机物对冰相中蒽和芘光降解的影响

以Suwannee River Fulvic Acid Standard II(SRFA)、Upper Mississippi River NOM(UMRN)、Elliott Soil Humic Acid Standard IV(ESHA)和Leonardite Humic Acid Standard(LHA) 4种溶解性有机物(Dissolved Organic Matter, DOM)为研究对象,利用125 W高压汞灯作为模拟光源进行室内模拟光解实验,考察了DOM对冰相中蒽和芘光降解的影响.其中,SRFA和UMRN是水源DOM,ESHA和LHA是陆源DOM.结果表明,蒽和芘在冰相中均可以发生直接光降解.4种DOM对冰相中蒽和芘光降解的影响行为并不相同,水源DOM对冰相中蒽和芘光降解的影响程度小于陆源DOM.DOM对冰相中蒽和芘光降解的抑制以光屏蔽效应为主.4种DOM对冰相中蒽和芘光降解均产生淬灭效应,但淬灭程度相异,DOM对蒽激发态的淬灭程度高于其对芘激发态的淬灭程度.与DOM共存条件下,冰相中芘的表观光解速率常数与DOM的SUVA值具有显著正相关性(p0.01).

从实验室A²/O小试设备中分离纯化出一株具有高亚硝酸盐氮（NO₂^--N）积累率的反硝化菌株ZY04,经过16SrDNA鉴定和基因比对后,初步鉴定为Acinetobacter johnsonii.使用Logistic模型可以很理想地拟合菌株ZY04的生长特性曲线,得到生长方程常数a=0.6588,b=24.08,k=0.2413.在维持初始基质中硝酸盐氮（NO₃^--N）浓度为100mg/L的条件下,改变碳源乙酸钠的浓度,使碳氮比（TOC/TN）为3.5,4.5,5.5,6.5,研究菌株ZY04部分反硝化性能,发现该菌株在不同碳氮比条件下均能够保持95%以上的NO₃^--N降解率,在碳氮比为3.5和4.5时,17h后NO₂^--N积累率达到70%以上;在碳氮比为5.5和6.5时,NO₂^--N积累率在更快的11h后达到85%以上,碳氮比为5.5时达到最高NO₂^--N积累率91%.使用Aiba,Edwards和Andrews模型对菌株的基质抑制动力学进行拟合,结果表明,3种模型均可以很好的拟合NO₃^--N和乙酸钠对菌株的单基质抑制动力学,在双基质抑制的9种组合中,有6种模型成功拟合了NO₃^--N和乙酸钠对菌株的双基质抑制动力学,得到了相关半饱和参数和基质抑制参数,相关系数（R²）可以达到98%.     

Acute and chronic toxicity of nickel to nitrifiers at different temperatures

This study investigated the acute nickel toxicity on nitrification of low ammonia synthetic wastewater at 10, 23, and 35°C. The nickel inhibition half-velocity constants(K_(I,Ni)) for ammonia oxidizing bacteria(AOB) and nitrite oxidizing bacteria(NOB) based on Ni/MLSS ratio at 10, 23, and 35°C were 5.4 and 5.6 mg Ni/g MLSS, 4.6 and 3.5 mg Ni/g MLSS, and 9.1 and 2.7 mg Ni/g MLSS, respectively. In addition, chronic toxicity of nickel to nitrification of low ammonia synthetic wastewater was investigated at 10°C in two sequencing batch reactors(SBRs). Long-term SBRs operation and short-term batch tests were comparable with respect to the extent of inhibition and corresponding Ni/MLSS ratio. The μ_(max), b, and K_o of AOB were 0.16 day~(-1), 0.098 day~(-1) and 2.08 mg O_2/L after long-term acclimatization to nickel of 1 mg/L at 10°C, high dissolved oxygen(DO)(7 mg/L) and long solids retention time(SRT) of 63–70 days. Acute nickel toxicity of nitrifying bacteria was completely reversible.     

Insecticidal and growth-reducing activity of foliar extracts from Meliaceae

Summary Thirty-one species in twenty genera of the plant family Meliaceae were assayed for the production of growth-inhibiting phytochemicals, using the generalist herbivorePeridroma saucia. Most species were inhibitory when methanolic extracts were incorporated into artificial diets at concentrations at or below those occurring naturally. In general members of the subfamily Melioideae were more inhibitory than members of the Swietenioideae. Extracts of deciduous species with short leaf lifetimes were significantly more inhibitory than those of evergreen species with longer leaf lifetimes. In a smaller sample of species, evergreen species showed a trend towards having tougher leaves than deciduous species. These results support the resource availability hypothesis of Coleyet al. (1985), and suggest that life history attributes may be of some value in selecting plants for phytochemical prospecting.     

中药三黄汤、小檗碱对E.coli生长抑制作用与庆大霉素的比较

庆大霉素对E．coli的抑菌作用强，试管稀释法、琼脂稀释法和平板抑菌圈法抑菌试验得到一致的MIC(3-5μg／mL)；三黄汤、小檗碱抑菌作用弱而稳定，试管稀释法测得的MIC分别为500mg／mL和2．5mg/mL，而用平板抑菌圈法得不到明显的抑菌圈．在亚MIC药物液体分批培养时，庆大霉素抑菌曲线起初2h迅速下降，而后回升到初始浓度，而三黄汤抑菌曲线平缓稳定，说明中药和抗生素的抑菌机制明显不同．庆大霉素与小檗碱混合使用时，与庆大霉素单独使用相近，而与三黄混合使用时，则主要表现三黄汤的抑菌作用．因此中西药结合时需要慎用．在接近MIC药物培养基中连续传代20次后，庆大霉素MIC提高8倍多，而三黄汤和小檗碱MIC无显著变化，无抗药性产生，也不产生对庆大霉素的交叉抗药性．研究结果还表明，在1／4MIC三黄汤中连续传代20次，能消除E.coli已形成的庆大霉素抗性，这为解决抗生素抗药性提供了线索．图4参23
