Prenatal exclusion of stickler syndrome

Stickler syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder of the connective tissue which includes ocular and systemic manifestations. We report on a large kindred in which we were able to demonstrate very tight linkage between the disease and the type II collagen gene (COL2A1) (LOD score 3·91 at θ=0). In a family in which the father and one of his daughters were severely affected, DNA analysis from a chorionic villus sample demonstrated that the fetus possessed the normal allele of COL2A1. Thereafter a normal child was born.     

人员位置固定的公共场所分区疏散研究

通过将分区疏散转化为分配问题(Allocation Problem),并采用启发式的A*优化算法,对人员位置固定的公共场所分区疏散进行研究.进一步利用基于元胞自动机模型的大型公共场所人员疏散行为模拟仿真系统,在充分考虑公共场所中每个人员的状态、人员之间以及人员与周围环境的相互作用的前提下,对疏散分区的效果进行模拟;通过与未分区的模拟结果相比较,可以认为,分区疏散有助于人员快速疏散,大大缩短整体避难时间,而且基于移动路径搜索的分区更加切合实际.     

不同环境条件下黑土对四溴双酚A的吸附动力学特征

采集吉林省松源农田的黑土样品,研究四溴双酚A在黑土中的吸附动力学特征,并探讨了pH值、离子强度(CaCl_2)、温度等不同环境条件对吸附动力学的影响。结果表明,四溴双酚A在黑土中的吸附过程可以分为快速吸附阶段(0~4 h)和慢速吸附阶段(4~48h),并于48 h达到吸附平衡。黑土对四溴双酚A的吸附符合拉格朗日准二级动力学方程和内扩散模型,表明该吸附过程以化学吸附为主,而吸附过程的限速步骤为颗粒间扩散。pH值等环境条件对吸附有明显影响,当pH值在6~9时,随pH值降低,黑土对四溴双酚A的吸附速率加快且平衡吸附量增加;离子强度(CaCl_2)为0.001 mol/L、0.01 mol/L、0.1 mol/L时,离子强度增大,黑土对四溴双酚A的吸附速率加快但平衡吸附量减小;温度为15℃、25℃、35℃时,随着温度升高,黑土对四溴双酚A的吸附速率加快且平衡吸附量增加。     

城市不同类型高架快速路噪声影响

参照《城市快速路设计规程》(CJJ 129—2009)并用Cadna/A软件对3种类型的城市高架快速路进行声场模拟;对高架类型、道路限速、预测点噪声值三者进行方差分析并评判高架类型对预测点噪声值的影响程度。结果表明,高架声影区只对高度低于高架且与高架距离较近的预测点影响较大,地面道路对1~2层预测点的噪声值影响较大;双层分离式在1~8层表现出更强的噪声污染性,噪声最大值出现在第6层附近,单层分离式及整体式产生的噪声最大值所在楼层数随建筑物与高架之间距离的增大而升高,单层分离式对各楼层的噪声污染程度都较小。高架类型、道路限速对噪声值的影响显著,道路交通量的大小可以改变高架类型及道路限速对于预测点噪声的效应量大小。

Odor Control for Land Application of Lime Stabilized Biosolids

Over three million dry metric tons of biosolids produced in the United States are land applied as Class B. Lime stabilization is employed for biosolids treatment at approximately 20% of the wastewater treatment plants because it is a simple and inexpensive process. During lime stabilization, the pH of sewage sludge is raised above 12 for pathogen inactivation and odor reduction. Lime dose and mixing have been found to greatly reduce odor generation from lime stabilized biosolids. A better quality biosolids product is less likely to create public opposition to land application programs. In this study, land application tests using Class B biosolids were conducted in order to determine whether better mixing can reduce odor generation during the land application of lime stabilized biosolids. The mixing quality of a treatment plant’s lime stabilized biosolids was improved by relocating the lime addition point, which prolonged the mixing time and produced a better mixed biosolids product. Based on field observations of land application, the poorly mixed biosolids were more odorous and offensive prior to incorporation. However, once incorporated into the soil, there was no appreciable odor difference between the biosolids. Another land application study was conducted to assess the odor of unincorporated Class A biosolids and compare it with incorporated Class A biosolids with the soil.     

TiO2介孔球的合成及其对双酚A的光催化降解

以不同的含钛化合物作为原料,在无模板条件下经一步溶剂热法合成了两种TiO2介孔球——TiO2-1和TiO2-2。对两种TiO2介孔球的形貌进行了表征,结果表明:TiO2-1和TiO2-2粒径分别为5.7 nm和8.0 nm;比表面积分别为159.4 m2/g和128.3 m2/g;孔径约为4.0 nm和5.0 nm。采用P25型TiO2、TiO2-1和TiO2-2对双酚A溶液进行光催化降解反应。在催化剂加入量为0.5 mg/L的条件下降解60 min,双酚A去除率分别为76.3%,99.7%,98.5%。TiO2-1和TiO2-2的光催化效果优于P25型TiO2,且TiO2-1的光催化效果更好。

Differences in Evaporation Between a Floating Pan and Class A Pan on Land1

Abstract: Research was conducted to develop a method for obtaining floating pan evaporation rates in a small (less than 10,000 m²) wetland, lagoon, or pond. Floating pan and land pan evaporation data were collected from March 1 to August 31, 2005, at a small natural wetland located in the alluvium of the Canadian River near Norman, Oklahoma, at the U.S. Geological Survey Norman Landfill Toxic Substances Hydrology Research Site. Floating pan evaporation rates were compared with evaporation rates from a nearby standard Class A evaporation pan on land. Floating pan evaporation rates were significantly less than land pan evaporation rates for the entire period and on a monthly basis. Results indicated that the use of a floating evaporation pan in a small free‐water surface better simulates actual physical conditions on the water surface that control evaporation. Floating pan to land pan ratios were 0.82 for March, 0.87 for April, 0.85 for May, 0.85 for June, 0.79 for July, and 0.69 for August.
