Ergonomic assessment of airport shuttle driver tasks using an ergonomic analysis toolset

This study aimed to (a) evaluate strength requirements and lower back stresses during lifting and baggage handling tasks with the 3D Static Strength Prediction Program (3DSSPP) and (b) provide additional analyses using rapid entire body assessment (REBA) and the NASA task load index (TLX) to assess the risks associated with the tasks. Four healthy female shuttle drivers of good health aged between 55 and 60 years were observed and interviewed in an effort to determine the tasks required of their occupations. The results indicated that lifting bags and placing them in a shuttle were high risk for injury and possible changes should be further investigated. The study concluded there was a potential for injury associated with baggage storing and retrieval tasks of a shuttle driver.     

基于后向轨迹模式对北京市PM2.5来源的探讨

近年来中国经历了数次大范围雾霾天气,北京等多个城市更是遭遇连续雾霾。造成雾霾天气的主要污染物PM_2.5又称细颗粒物。为了进一步治理北京雾霾,为制定政策提供依据,须了解北京地区PM_2.5的来源。本文基于后向轨迹模式并结合PM_2.5浓度计算了2015年9月1日0：00至2016年8月31日23：00以北京为起始点,向后推算48小时的轨迹,并结合轨迹聚类分析法、潜在源贡献因子法（PSCF）、浓度权重轨迹分析法（CWT）等,探讨北京地区PM_2.5的来源。结果表明：模拟的后向轨迹经过聚类分析可分为6类,其中来自内蒙古西部的轨迹最多,来自西北、北西北方向的轨迹次之,来自西西北方向且在京津冀地区停留一段时间的轨迹占比最小,来自河北、山东、河南的交接地区及河北的沿海地区的轨迹占比也较小。其中来自内蒙古西部地区及河北、山东、河南交界地区的两类轨迹对北京的空气质量有较大的影响,是北京PM_2.5污染的主要潜在源区;来自北西北方向及河北的沿海地区两类轨迹的气团最为清洁,为北京带来良好的天气;来自西北及西西北方向的部分轨迹对应的PM_2.5浓度严重超标,说明来自此方向的气团对北京的空气质量也有一定的影响。

Dominance in feeding territories relates to foraging success and offspring growth in brown skuas <Emphasis Type="Italic">Catharacta antarctica lonnbergi</Emphasis>

Territoriality should lead to strict dominance, as territory holders typically control access to resources and exclude others from their use. In feeding territories, dominance should be reflected in foraging success and ultimately in reproduction differences; however, these successive links have rarely been made explicit. Therefore, we investigated a population of brown skuas Catharacta antarctica lonnbergi, in which only part of the breeding population occupied feeding territories within penguin colonies. We identified the dominance hierarchy and determined the foraging success of the participants in fights for access to penguin carcasses within the territories. Furthermore, we monitored offspring growth from parents with and without feeding territories. Our results indicated a clear dominance hierarchy with territorial birds in their own territory dominating over territorial breeders from other territories, non-territorial breeders and non-breeding birds. However, territory owners could not completely exclude others from access to food. Foraging success was positively related to dominance scores: The dominant territory owners received 63% of a carcass, whereas non-territorial pairs could get less than 10%. The link between foraging success and offspring development was less clear: Although male chicks of non-territorial parents suffered from lower growth rates and, thus, delayed fledging, there were no such differences in female chicks. Territoriality in skuas did not imply a complete occupation of food, but guaranteed optimal growth conditions for offspring. Non-territorial individuals were forced to search for alternative resources, and the restricted access to the preferred food resulted in inferior conditions for offspring development, making this foraging strategy less rewarding.     

水上事故溢油漂移轨迹预测模型研究与应用

近年来,国内外海上溢油事故频发,不仅造成巨额的经济损失,同时也对海洋及近岸海域生态系统造成了巨大危害,构建科学、可靠的海洋溢油模型对于溢油事故的处置应对、预警预报都具有十分重要的科学和现实意义。基于EFDC（Environmental Fluid Dynamic Code）、＂油粒子＂溢油轨迹和风化模型,构建了海上事故溢油漂移轨迹预测模型。通过对实际溢油事故的模拟对比证明,相对于基于对流扩散方程的传统溢油模型,＂油粒子＂算法更直观,模拟的油膜轨迹、形态更贴近实际过程。     

Characterization, reactivity, source apportionment, and potential source areas of ambient volatile organic compounds in a typical tropical city

Based on one-year observation, the concentration, sources, and potential source areas of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were comprehensively analyzed to investigate the pollution characteristics of ambient VOCs in Haikou, China. The results showed that the annual average concentration of total VOCs (TVOCs) was 11.4 ppbV, and the composition was dominated by alkanes (8.2 ppbV, 71.4%) and alkenes (1.3 ppbV, 20.5%). The diurnal variation in the concentration of dominant VOC species showed a distinct bimodal distribution with peaks in the morning and evening. The greatest contribution to ozone formation potential (OFP) was made by alkenes (51.6%), followed by alkanes (27.2%). The concentrations of VOCs and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) in spring and summer were low, and it was difficult to generate high ozone (O₃) concentrations through photochemical reactions. The significant increase in O₃ concentrations in autumn and winter was mainly related to the transmission of pollutants from the northeast. Traffic sources (40.1%), industrial sources (19.4%), combustion sources (18.6%), solvent usage sources (15.5%) and plant sources (6.4%) were identified as major sources of VOCs through the positive matrix factorization (PMF) model. The southeastern coastal areas of China were identified as major potential source areas of VOCs through the potential source contribution function (PSCF) and concentration-weighted trajectory (CWT) models. Overall, the concentration of ambient VOCs in Haikou was strongly influenced by traffic sources and long-distance transport, and the control of VOCs emitted from vehicles should be strengthened to reduce the active species of ambient VOCs in Haikou, thereby reducing the generation of O₃.
