喷泉产生的细菌气溶胶空间分布特性

为阐明喷泉产生的细菌气溶胶空间分布特性,利用大肠杆菌NK5449作为试验菌株,通过喷泉喷洒试验,使用安德森六级空气采样器采集喷泉周围空间的细菌气溶胶,研究各级细菌气溶胶的浓度和粒径分布特征和变化规律,并分析其与液滴直径的相关性.结果表明,在高度0.75~1.75 m,距离喷头0.5~3 m的范围内,细菌气溶胶总浓度在(38±15)~(676±92)CFU·m-3之间,并随着高度的增加和与喷头之间水平距离的增大而逐渐降低,且与液滴直径呈显著负相关(P0.05);随着与喷头水平距离的增大,粒径大于4.7μm的细菌气溶胶粒子所占比例出现先降后升的变化趋势;而粒径在2.1~4.7μm之间的粒子所占比例则是先升后降.与喷头水平距离0.5 m以外的各点,细菌气溶胶粒子的粒径大都集中在1.1~4.7μm范围内.距离喷泉较远处的人吸入小粒径细菌气溶胶的风险不容忽视.     

Isolated mild fetal cerebral ventriculomegaly: a retrospective analysis of 26 cases

We retrospectively studied 26 fetuses with isolated mild cerebral ventriculomegaly diagnosed between 1992 and 1998 and defined by a lateral ventricular atrial diameter of 10–15 mm without any other cerebral anomaly. Our objectives were to determine maternal risk factors, to evaluate complementary investigations, to assess developmental prognosis and to propose possible management. During pregnancy 10/26 patients had regressive ventriculomegalies, ten remained borderline at birth and six were confirmed postnatally. No maternal risk factors were identified. Prenatal investigations were carried out in 69% of cases but in only a few cases supplied any information. Postnatal examinations revealed one case of Down syndrome and one of porencephaly. Four children were lost to follow-up. In the 22 other cases, four had developmental delay. Early and unexplained mild ventriculomegaly appears to have a good prognosis. If ventriculomegaly is persistent, prenatal management should be carried out to investigate chromosomal abnormalities, viral infection, and fetal cerebral parenchymal damage. A long postnatal clinical follow-up is required. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

基于新型反应器的好氧颗粒污泥的稳定性控制

为避免好氧颗粒污泥随着粒径和密度的变化屡次出现其稳定性失去控制,导致好氧颗粒污泥系统运行失败的状况发生,开发了一种新型反应器能够很好地控制好氧颗粒污泥的粒径和密度.新反应器结合旋流器的使用提供了2种排泥方式,其一是短的沉淀时间,将大粒径和高密度的颗粒污泥存留在反应器中;其二是一种专有的污泥排除工艺,选择出反应器内潜在的可能存在进一步粒径增长和密度扩大从而破坏反应器运行稳定的大粒径和高密度的颗粒,并将其排除.以上2种方式保证了反应器内颗粒污泥的粒径长期维持在300～1 000μm,进而维持整个系统的稳定性.对新型反应器生成的颗粒污泥进行动力学参数的测定,该工艺所形成颗粒的能量维持系数为0.08～0.10,就新陈代谢活动的代谢途径而言,相比传统颗粒污泥系统发生较大改变,维持新陈代谢活动所消耗COD较传统工艺偏高.另外,出水水质COD的降解率平均达到92%,氨氮降解率平均达到60%.

塔里木盆地气溶胶粒度分布研究

使用Series 210收集了塔里木盆地内6个不同地点的气溶胶,获取了该地区气溶胶的粒度分布,并计算了对应的气溶胶数量中位直径。研究发现:在自然情况下,气溶胶分布遵循双峰分布的规律,其中第一峰值通常出现在0.5μm附近,第二峰值出现在3μm附近;由于采样点的气象条件、地表情况等差异所致,不同采样地点的峰位和峰面积有一定的差异;各采样点气溶胶分布规律显示,绝大多数气溶胶粒子粒径小于1μm。自然条件下,大多数采样点气溶胶粒子数量中位直径小于1μm。

Minimum propagation diameter and thickness of high explosives

The critical diameter and critical thickness of two heterogeneous explosives were measured experimentally. By comparing these experimentally determined values of critical diameter and critical thickness, the role of front curvature in the failure of the detonation can be investigated. Current theories of detonation based on front curvature would predict the critical diameter should be twice the critical thickness. Experimentally, the expected two-to-one ratio was only validated for the case of a heterogeneous explosive with very fine scale heterogeneities. The ratios of critical diameter to critical thickness (for the two selected explosives) are also compared to previously measured values for homogeneous (liquid) explosives in order to contrast the dominant failure mechanism in these different explosives.     

Subcutaneous Arteriolar Vasomotion Changes During and After ELF-EMF Exposure in Mice in Vivo

Summary Biological effects of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) on microcirculation were investigated in vivo by monitoring arteriole diameters in conscious mice. Measurements of blood vessel diameter were monitored 33 min non-stop before during and after exposure with ELF-EMF and every 389 ms blood vessel diameter were calculated. Using a dorsal skinfold chamber (DSC), and following caudal vein injection of FITC-dextran 250 kDa, the microvasculature (initial arteriole diameter of 45–80 μm), was examined by intravital microscopy and video images were recorded for a total time of 33 min. Arteriole diameter was continuously measured by on-line analysis using a High-speed Digital Machine Vision System CV-2100, using an edge-gap detection algorithm. Since vessel diameters exhibit rhythmic variation expressed by vasomotion, for estimation of microcirculatory activity we used both raw data for frequency analysis of vasomotion (measured frequencies of vasomotion were in the range 0.008÷0.1 Hz) and evaluate mean blood vessel diameter for each 1 min period of time, and make a comparison between Pre, Exposure/Sham exposure and Post exposure periods, with the aim to evaluate possible changes in mean blood vessel diameter as a result of ELF-EMF action. During EMF exposure and post-exposure periods, arteriole diameters increased significantly compared with the pre-exposure period, and the changes were larger during post-exposure. In contrast to sham exposure, vasodilatation of the microvasculature was significantly greater during exposure and post-exposure to 16 Hz EMF. These findings suggest that ELF-EMF may have potential therapeutic use benefit for treating vascular disorders.
