Soluble Mineral Content in Surficial Alluvium and Associated Mancos Shale1

ABSTRACT: The Mancos Shale area of the Upper Colorado River basin produces large quantities of solutes. In order to develop an understanding of the mechanism of salt production and to determine the source of salinity, a study of the soluble mineral content (SMC) of Mancos Shale and associated alluvium was undertaken. SMC is highly variable in alluvium and associated surficial Mancos Shale. However, lithomorphological units can be identified in terms of their SMC. Results from this study demonstrate that crusts are leached in deep alluvial fills and they contain somewhat less soluble minerals than underlying Mancos Shale on hillslopes. The crusts are saline, sometimes efflorescent, in shale bedrock channels or where channels abutt against the shale. SMC increases in alluvium with decrease in depth of alluvial fill, does not vary significantly with depth in deep of alluvial fills, and increases with depth in shallow ones.     

Human impact on beach and foredune microclimate on North Padre Island,Texas

The microclimate of beach and foredune areas of North Padre Island along the mid-Texas coast was found to be greatly modified by vehicular and pedestrian traffic during investigations made from late fall to early summer 1973–74. The primary effect of human activity on microclimate was expressed as reduced cover and species diversity of the vegetation. As the intensity of human activity increased, elevation, especially of areas near the beach, was decreased, whereas average wind velocities near the ground surface, evaporation, atmospheric salinity near the ground surface, wind-carried sand particles near the ground surface, soil salinity, soil pH, average soil temperature and range in temperature, soil bulk density, and soil-water contents were increased.     

HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF RIME ICE DEPOSITS IN THE COLORADO ROCKIES1

ABSTRACT Observations and measurements were made during storm periods at mountain top sites in the Colorado Rockies during the winter of 1981-1982. On average, liquid clouds occurred with and without snowfall for, respectively, 75 percent and 15 percent of the observations. On average, the rime ice deposition rates were measured to be seven times the precipitation rates. The rime deposits were estimated to contribute 10 percent to the water content of the snowpack. Combining this figure with the estimated rime deposits on falling snow crystals (up to 50 percent by mass), up to 60 percent of the water content of the annual snowpack in the mountains near Steamboat Springs, Colorado, could be due to rime ice deposits.     

石油类对小麦生长的影响研究

为了弄清含油土壤中石油类对小麦生长情况的影响,中原油田进行了两年的盆栽小麦实验。实验中采用不同含油浓度,分别对小麦的出苗率、有效分蘖数、株高、穗长、千粒重及品质进行了观察比较。结果表明:土壤中原油含量对小麦的出苗率影响最明显,其它小麦粒中苯并芘及挥发酚残量均低于国家标准。

随着新形势下城市和工业生产的发展,加强应用技术型高校安全工程专业教师教学能力建设与研究,不仅有助于丰富安全工程专业师资队伍建设与研究成果,而且有助于提升队伍建设质量和水平。本文以重庆市某高校安全工程专业教师教学能力建设开展实证研究,该校通过企业调研和兄弟院校之间的对比分析,邀请安全工程专业部分骨干专业教师、企业代表和其他兄弟院校专业教师开展分析研讨会,初步形成了该校安全工程专业教师教学能力标准,并在相关学院进行试点。结果表明:该校有针对性地从理念、政策、师资队伍、教学平台及课堂教学改革等方面加强该校安全工程专业教师教学能力建设,成效是显著的,经验是可以借鉴的。     

水化煤饱和-风干过程的自燃特性实验研究

为了掌握水化煤饱和-风干过程中不同风干时间煤样的自燃特性,对水化煤样进行不同风干时间的实验煤样预处理,形成不同风干时间的水化煤样。通过煤样含水率测试、物理吸附实验和程序升温实验,对不同饱和-风干时间的水化煤样以及原煤样的吸氧量和CO,CO2,CH4,C2H4,C2H6,C3H8气体浓度随煤温的变化规律进行实验研究。研究结果表明:不同风干时间水化煤样随着煤温的逐渐升高,吸氧量呈先减小后增大趋势;不同风干时间的水化煤样的自燃标志性气体析出速率随煤温的升高均呈指数增大的变化趋势;在低温氧化阶段,水化煤样比原煤反应时间提前,且反应速率更快,这表明水化煤样比原煤样更加容易发生自燃,且风干时间为20 min的水化煤危险性更大。

填埋场好氧处理是一种有效的填埋场修复手段。采用模拟填埋反应器,搭配水气联合控制系统,探讨不同填埋龄垃圾好氧稳定化过程最佳氧气控制范围和污染物去除情况。结果表明新鲜垃圾和填埋龄分别为1,3,7年的垃圾最佳氧浓度调控范围分别为11%~14%、8%~14%、7%~15%和6%~17%。垃圾耗氧速率随填埋龄增加而降低。经过180~220 d的好氧处理,新鲜垃圾渗滤液BOD5和COD去除率均达到92%以上;而老龄垃圾渗滤液COD降解慢。处理后期各反应器ρ(BOD_5)/ρ(COD)<0.1,垃圾基本稳定。     

排水造林对小兴安岭沼泽湿地土壤酶活性及氮含量的影响

选取不同排水年限的兴安落叶松人工林湿地(1974,1985,1992,2003年排水)和天然兴安落叶松沼泽湿地,研究排水对小兴安岭沼泽湿地土壤酶活性及氮素含量的影响。结果表明:湿地排水造林后,表层土壤脲酶活性降低47.3%~84.3%;蔗糖酶活性降低49.2%~72.4%。表层土壤NH_3-N降低了6.9%~19.7%;NO_3~--N降低了63.2%~80.3%。在垂直剖面上,排水湿地的NH3-N含量随土层深度增加而增大,天然森林湿地随土层深度增加而减小。排水对土壤表层土壤酶活性及各氮素含量影响显著(P<0.05)。     

非饱和红壤土降雨入渗室内模拟试验

以江西省域范围内典型红壤土为研究对象,利用自行研制开发的降雨模拟试验设备与渗透试验装置,设计了大雨工况下土体初始含水率、干密度、降雨累积时间及降雨后土体静置时间等对其渗透性影响的室内试验。试验结果显示,土体渗透性随初始含水率的升高逐渐降低,给出的宏观渗透系数公式定量化描述了不同初始含水率的可渗透性强弱程度;在初始含水率相对固定的情况下,土体渗透性随干密度的增大逐渐减小,且干密度增大到一定程度后其渗透性锐减,各水平之间的差异性不再明显;累积降雨时间会显著影响深部土体的渗透性,降雨历时越长,深部土体的含水率越高;雨水的在降雨过程停止后继续沿土体纵深入渗,致使表层含水率降低,深部含水率提高,含水率特征曲线趋向竖直。
