华南二叠纪末缺氧海水中的有毒气体与生物集群绝灭

对华南P/T界线地层有机碳同位素和碳酸盐岩碳氧同位素和沉积特征进行研究表明 :二叠纪末海洋中发生了大规模海水缺氧事件 ,持续时间约 6～ 10万年 ;海洋底层存在大量的CO、CO2 、H2 S和CH4等水溶性有毒气体 ,在剧烈的火山爆发事件及相伴的温室效应影响下 ,这些气水化合物由海底及陆架沉积中快速分离释放 ,导致生物集群绝灭 ,最终造成灰岩的δ13 C值发生强烈的负漂移     

Case study: T2 Laboratories explosion

A tragic explosion resulting from a runaway chemical reaction occurred at the T2 Laboratories, Inc. facility in December 2007. The U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) completed an incident investigation of the T2 explosion, identifying the root cause as a failure to recognize the runaway reaction hazard associated with the chemical it was producing. Understanding the consequences of process upset conditions is critical to determine risk. This paper will focus on lessons learned from this incident including a comprehensive hazard assessment for reactive chemicals as well as proper collection and application of adiabatic calorimetry data to characterize the chemical reaction and determine appropriate mitigation strategies. Examples will be provided to establish safer operating conditions, implement safeguards and reduce the overall risk.     

The Great East Japan Earthquake,tsunami, and nuclear meltdown: towards the (re)construction of a safe,sustainable, and compassionate society in Japan's shrinking regions

Japan's rural regions have been shrinking for the entire post-war period, and successive efforts to revitalise rural society have failed. This article examines whether the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami, and the subsequent meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, present the Japanese state and society with a watershed opportunity to rethink regional revitalisation and national energy procurement strategies. The article begins by summarising the events of March and April 2011, examines possible approaches to the reconstruction of communities in the Tōhoku region, and critiques problems of governance in post-war Japan that the disaster reveals. It concludes by pulling together the information and analysis presented into a discussion of the prospects for achieving the three-point vision for a safe, sustainable, and compassionate society that Prime Minister Naoto Kan set the Reconstruction Design Council.     

剩余污泥的超声破解与影响因素程度分析

采用超声波技术破解污泥絮体及污泥微生物细胞壁结构 ,可使固体性有机物与胞内物质变为溶解性有机物(SCOD)。SCOD溶出率随超声作用时间、声强及声能密度的增加而增加 ,在一定声能密度下 ,SCOD溶出率随时间延长呈线性增长趋势 ,即污泥破解反应遵从一级反应动力学规律。VSS的变化规律同SCOD溶出率的变化规律相似。利用多元统计学中t分布检验方法分析诸因素对破解效果所产生的影响 ,得出各因素影响程度从大至小顺序为 :超声作用时间 >声能密度 >声强

重庆市北碚城区大气中VOCs组成特征研究

2012年3月~2013年2月,使用特制的不锈钢钢瓶采集重庆市北碚城区大气样品,并采用三步预浓缩-气相色谱/质谱法对所采集的气体样品进行检测.本研究共检出78种挥发性有机物(volatile organic compounds,VOCs),其中烷烃25种,烯烃15种,芳香烃28种,卤代烃10种.结果表明,重庆市北碚大气中年均浓度最高的前7种VOCs分别为:二氯甲烷(3.08×10-9,体积分数,下同)、苯(2.09×10-9)、异戊烷(1.85×10-9)、甲苯(1.51×10-9)、丙烷(1.51×10-9)、间/对-二甲苯(1.43×10-9)、苯乙烯(1.39×10-9).北碚大气中总挥发性有机物(total volatile organic compounds,TVOCs)浓度为33.89×10-9,季节变化表现为:春季(42.57×10-9)>秋季(33.89×10-9)>冬季(31.91×10-9)>夏季(27.04×10-9).从组成来看,烷烃和芳香烃对TVOCs贡献最大,分别达到31.5%和30.7%;其次是卤代烃类,占27.4%;含量最少的组分是烯烃,所占比例仅为10.4%.采用臭氧生成潜势对VOCs组分活性分析结果表明,烯烃类和芳香烃类化合物是对北碚大气O3生成贡献最大的物质.利用主成分分析法对大气样品中VOCs来源进行分析,发现北碚大气VOCs主要源于机动车尾气排放,贡献比为50.41%.北碚大气中T/B年均值为0.73,表明大气中的苯类物质主要来源于机动车的尾气排放,受溶剂挥发的影响较小.     

Social capital and food security in post-conflict rural Lira District,northern Uganda

While a strong relationship has been established between social capital and food security in the research literature, it is uncertain whether this holds in post-conflict situations. This study examines associations between social capital and food security in post-conflict Lira District, northern Uganda. Since factors affecting food security are complex, we explored the roles of households' characteristics in food security outcomes. Data were collected from March to July 2011 through face-to-face interviews with 221 heads of household in rural Lira. Using multinomial logistic regression, a strong positive association was identified between social capital and household food security. The study also found significant associations of food security with sex, education of household head, amount of cultivated land, and farm and home possessions. The results of this analysis can aid the design of food security programmes that empower poor people while targeting the most vulnerable groups, thereby promoting sustainable development in post-conflict communities.
