用射流装置消除大型泵机组的汽蚀振动

一大型石化工程中乙烯乙二醇装置用碳酸盐泵投料运行后,泵机组和进出口管线就发生异常的噪声与振动现象,严重影响到生产安全和作业环境。笔者分析了异常噪声、振动的原因,认为是由于泵发生汽蚀所致;提出了在泵进口管线增设射流装置的措施,将泵自身出口的一部分高压液体引入到射流装置,并与来自储罐的液体混合,增加液体压头后提供给泵进口,以提高装置的有效汽蚀余量,消除大型泵机组由于汽蚀引起的噪声、振动;研讨了射流装置的设计参数和结构设计。通过增设射流装置的技术的措施,有效地解决了泵机组及进出口管线的异常噪声、振动问题,消除了化工系统的安全生产隐患。该技术措施还可以用于电厂等有类似问题的其他装置,有广泛的实用价值。     

根据现代企业理论探讨煤炭企业安全管理问题

煤炭行业属于高危险性行业,降低其事故发生率,提高安全生产水平是煤炭工作者孜孜以求的目标。笔者应用委托——代理理论对煤炭安全管理问题进行探讨,分析了安全投入与安全水平、安全投入与安全报酬、事故赔偿与安全水平等之间的关系,提出了煤炭企业改善安全现状的管理对策及建议,并认为事故赔偿金过低,不足以对企业形成足够的压力,不利于企业主动提高安全水平,应加大惩罚力度,提高惩罚成本和惩处率。     

吉林省产业系统生态效率评价

将环境效率分解为与产业系统运行过程相对应的源头预防效率、清洁生产效率和末端治理效率,从系统整体协同视角构建整合不同过程效率的生态效率度量模型,并以吉林省为案例进行分析,结果表明:①吉林省在推进产业系统生态效率实践中,末端治理仍是优先选择,其次为清洁生产,最后为源头循环,具有清晰的次序性;②不同类型城市在生态效率路径选择方面存在差异,综合型城市侧重于源头循环,而资源型城市更依赖清洁生产和末端治理;③吉林省产业系统生态效率发展水平从2002年的0.40增长到2008年的0.49,增幅为23.59％,产业发展与环境污染处于脱钩状态;④吉林省产业系统生态效率发展质量指数整体水平较高,而且在波动中趋于上升,增幅为7.19％;⑤吉林省产业系统生态效率从2002年的0.35上升到2008年的0.46,增幅为32.48％,产业系统生态效率发展水平对生态效率进步的贡献度为72.64％,未来应重视提升生态效率发展质量.     

鄱阳湖湿地出露草洲分布特征的遥感研究

利用鄱阳湖区46景不同时相的Landsat MSS/TM/ETM+遥感影像,分别提取鄱阳湖的出露草洲范围,并假定只要一个时期是出露草洲就属于草洲,形成鄱阳湖湿地草洲潜在分布图,并分析鄱阳湖湿地出露草洲的分布特征。研究结果表明：(1)利用出露草洲面积与星子水文站观测水位得到二者的关系,表明出露草洲分布及范围受水位的影响显著,高水位时,大部分草洲被水淹没;低水位时,出露草洲面积大。此外,也受气象因素、草洲植物生长期的水位过程等因素影响;(2)出露草洲面积的季节变化明显：随水位的升高而减少,随水位的下降而增加;在植被生长期的春季和夏季,出露草洲面积逐渐减少,在秋季和冬季,出露草洲面积却逐渐增加;出露草洲面积最大在1月,最小在7月;(3)鄱阳湖潜在草洲的面积达2 441 km2,草洲可能出现的范围占整个鄱阳湖面积的69.5%

Evaluation of physiological, growth and yield responses of a tropical oil crop (Brassica campestris L. var. Kranti) under ambient ozone pollution at varying NPK levels

A field study was conducted to evaluate the impact of ambient ozone on mustard (Brassica campestris L. var. Kranti) plants grown under recommended and 1.5 times recommended NPK doses at a rural site of India using filtered (FCs) and non-filtered open top chambers (NFCs). Ambient mean O₃ concentration varied from 41.65 to 54.2 ppb during the experiment. Plants growing in FCs showed higher photosynthetic rate at both NPK levels, but higher stomatal conductance only at recommended NPK. There were improvements in growth parameters and biomass of plants in FCs as compared to NFCs at both NPK levels with higher increments at 1.5 times recommended. Seed yield and harvest index decreased significantly only at recommended NPK in NFCs. Seed quality in terms of nutrients, protein and oil contents reduced in NFCs at recommended NPK. The application of 1.5 times recommended NPK provided protection against yield loss due to ambient O₃.     

Whole-body vibration knowledge survey of U.S. occupational safety and health professionals

Problem

Whole-body vibration (WBV) is an occupational issue of concern due to adverse health effects or simple discomfort and annoyance. Unlike in Europe, WBV is an emerging topic in the U.S. safety and health (S&H) professional community. We hypothesized that at least one-half of the U.S. occupational S&H professionals knew little or nothing about WBV.

Method

We conducted a cross-sectional study (survey) of WBV knowledge among members of the American Society of Safety Engineers. A Likert scale (1-none to 5-expert) was used to determine WBV topic knowledge levels (KL_1-5).

Results

Analysis of 2,764 responses revealed that 69.5% of the participants self-reported a less than basic WBV understanding. The WBV KL_1-5 mean for all participants was 1.94 ± 1.00, corresponding to an awareness of WBV without a depth of understanding.

Summary

Many at-risk U.S. workers may not be supported by occupational S&H professionals with adequate WBV knowledge.

Impact on Industry

A significant number of U.S. workers may be exposed to unhealthy levels of whole-body vibration. However, the U.S. occupational safety and health community is generally unprepared to anticipate, monitor, and control the whole-body vibration hazard.     

城市土地生态利用水平测度及障碍因子诊断

从土地代谢理念出发,构建了城市土地生态利用水平的测评指标体系。根据该指标体系,以"加权和与加权积的混合算法"和"因子障碍度测算"为模型基础,对浙江省11个地级市的土地生态利用水平进行了综合测评。研究结果表明:①浙江省11个市的土地生态利用水平存在明显的空间差异,整体上浙东北部较高,西南部偏低;②城市土地生态利用水平与城市经济社会发展相关,但并不意味经济社会越发达,城市土地生态利用水平就会越高;③土地污染物的高排放是影响浙江省城市土地生态利用的最大障碍因子,其中单位面积废水排放影响最大;④对城市土地生态利用水平的测度根本目的不在于区分排名的先后,而在于找到差距和改善的方向。通过因子障碍度检验,发现构建科学合理的障碍因子管理体系,大力发展循环经济和推行清洁生产,开展土地生态文明教育是提高城市土地生态利用水平的重要路径选择。     

Embeddedness of climate change adaptation: established procedures and contending discourses for flood protection in Espoo,Finland

Calls for more stakeholder participation and cooperation, the acknowledgement of uncertainties as well as for flexible and robust solutions have become frequent in the literature on climate change adaptation. Recent studies show that these calls are taken up only reluctantly in local adaptation compared to sectoral and technical solutions. The aim of this study is to examine to which extent adaptation as an embedded process within the local context allows for stakeholder participation, cooperation and the robustness and flexibility of adaptation measures. It applies an analytical approach, combining an action framework of adaptation and document-based discourse analysis, to assess both the procedural and the substantive viewpoint of an adaptation case in Finland. This twofold approach provides insight into how the adaptation process and content influence and condition each other. The analysis highlights how new approaches to adaptation have to compete with prevailing discourses and institutionalised practices, as public authorities take the dominant role in adaptation, striving for certain and safe solutions. This process has few participatory elements and leaves little leeway to address uncertainty.
