The degradation of plastic litter in rivers: Implications for beaches

Polythene sheeting is a major litter component on estuarine beaches and river banks. Sanitary towel backing strips, which are one of the commonest items of sewage related debris found on beaches, enter the riverine system via combined sewer overflows. Investigations on these items, positioned at natural riverine stranding levels, showed that after an initial rapid breakdown little further loss of tensile strength occurred. Experiments carried out on backing strips, buried in the bank suspended from a tree and tethered to the bank, showed significant change. Buried samples retained the greatest tensile strength retention, dropping no lower than 90 %, the other samples showed similar retention rates at 80%. The difference is probably due to photodegradation as biodegradation effects were minimal. Probably, the longevity of such plastics is a major reason for their abundance and widespread distribution both on river banks and beaches.     

含水量对红粘土抗剪强度的影响

红粘土是一种区域性特殊土,含水量对其抗剪强度的影响与一般粘性土的规律不尽相同。通过室内直剪试验研究发现,含水量与红粘土粘聚力存在阶梯状相关关系,并且根据最小二乘法原理可以将其拟舍为多项式函数表达式。另外,随着含水量的增加,红粘土的内摩擦角变化不显著,呈微幅度波动状态。     

用矿化度估算离子强度

预测结垢趋势是污水回注中的一项重要工作，通常都要计算离子强度，而离子强度的计算量很大，因此提出了一种替代的估算方法———矿化度法。由于矿化度的测定较为容易，计算简便，建立矿化度和离子强度之间的一元线性关系，使计算得以大大简化。通过中原油田的实例详细说明了一元线性关系的建立方法及判定是否适用的标准，并提出：不同水质情况应分别建立各自的一元线性回归方程。

A Procedure for Making Optimal Selection of Input Variables for Multivariate Environmental Classifications

Abstract:  Multivariate classifications of environmental factors are used as frameworks for conservation management. Although classification performance is likely to be sensitive to choice of input variables, these choices have been subjective in most previous studies. We used the Mantel test on a limited set of sites for which biological data were available to iteratively seek a definition of environmental space (i.e., intersite distances calculated with a set of appropriately transformed and weighted environmental variables) that had maximal correlation with the same sites described in a biological space. The procedure was used to select input variables for a classification of New Zealand's rivers that discriminates variation in fish communities for biodiversity management. The classification performed (i.e., discriminated biological variation) better than classifications with subjectively chosen variables. The inherently linear measures of environmental distance that underlie multivariate environmental classifications mean that they will perform best if they are defined based on variables for which there is a linear variation in the biological community throughout the entire range of the variable. Classification performance will therefore be improved when variables that have nonlinear relationships with biological variation are transformed to make their relationship with biological turnover more linear and when the contributions of environmental factors that have particularly strong relationships with biological variation are increased by weighting. Our results indicate that attention to the manner in which environmental space is defined improves the efficacy of multivariate classification and other techniques in which the environment is used as a surrogate for biological variation.

低温对处理低浓度废水的厌氧折流板反应器性能的影响

采用一个9．9L的厌氧折流板反应器处理低浓度废水（COD500mg／L左右）,研究了低温对反应器运行性能的影响。结果表明,温度从35℃下降至20℃对ABR的处理效率没有明显的影响,COD去除率仅下降了3％。各隔室的VFA均上升,前面隔室中上升幅度更大。当温度从20℃下降至15℃时,产氢产乙酸菌和产甲烷菌等受到较大影响,在13d的时间内COD去除率下降了近一半,降至40％～60％。     

高应变率环境下材料的失效机理研究

采用双层约束爆炸方法对高应变率环境下材料的失效模式及其影响因素进行了研究。结果表明：材料存在拉伸断裂和绝热剪切断裂两种模式。碳含量越高,材料对绝热剪切越敏感;同种材料的淬、回火类组织比正火类组织绝热剪切敏感性高。材料的屈导比哕决定了材料的失效模式,哕越大,材料越倾向于以绝热剪切模式失效。
