基于遗传-支持向量机和遗传-径向基神经网络的有机物正辛醇-水分配系数QSPR研究

基于遗传算法(GA)的因子筛选和支持向量机(SVM)的非线性回归,提出了1种改进的有机物定量结构-性质相关(QSPR)建模方法--遗传-支持向量机(GA-SVM),并将其用于38种食品工业常用有机物正辛醇-水分配系数(Kow)的QSPR建模.结果显示,QSPR模型选取了分子量、Hansen极性、沸点、含氧率和含氢率5种参数;模型的预测值与实测值间的误差平方和(SSE)、均方差(RMSE)和决定系数(R2)分别为0.048、0,036和0.999,表明模型具有较强的预测能力;同时,交叉验证的结果(SSE=0.295,RMSE=0.089,R2=0.995)也表明,模型具有良好的稳健性,因此,GA-SVM算法适用于对有机物正辛醇-水分配系数的QSPR建模.此外,将基于GA-SVM的QSPR模型分别与基于遗传-径向基神经网络(GA-RBFNN)和基于线性算法的模型进行了比较,结果表明,应用GA-SVM建立的QSPR模型无论从稳健性还是预测能力上都优于应用其它2种算法建立的模型,因此,GA-SVM算法比GA-RBFNN和线性算法更适合于对有机物正辛醇-水分配系数进行QSPR建模.     

Understanding farmer intentions to connect to a modernised delivery system in an Australian irrigation district: a reasoned action approach

Australian governments have sought to invest in irrigation infrastructure to improve the efficiency of water delivery to rural properties and improve water supply and on-farm efficiency. A programme of rationalising irrigation infrastructure has attracted criticism and doubts about its likely success. Attitude theory in the form of the Reasoned Action Model was applied to understand the intentions of landowners to connect to a ‘modernised’ irrigation system. Attitudes towards connecting to the system, social norms and perceptions of control over the behaviour provided an explanation of intentions to connect. Actual financial capability and other variables were important in discriminating a group of landowners who had already connected to the modernised system from farmers who had not.     

Implementing SDG 15: Can large‐scale public programs help deliver biodiversity conservation,restoration and management,while assisting human development?

Among the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the proposed SDG 15 promotes activities that, inter alia, “Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems”. An important potential contribution in achieving SDG 15 is through public programmes designed to jointly promote human development through poverty alleviation and improvement of human livelihoods and biodiversity conservation/management/restoration. An analysis of twenty public programmes with such joint objectives yielded twelve lessons learned. In addition to financial commitments, government and intergovernmental agency input for such public programmes includes ensuring political will and appropriate legal frameworks. Local communities and civil society provide input through traditional and indigenous ecological knowledge and stewardship. Appropriate shared inputs in development and the implementation of such public programmes, with communication between local community, broader civil society, the scientific community and governments will result in: better use and management of biodiversity; alleviation of poverty; security of livelihoods and better governance systems. The Ecosystem Approach of the Convention on Biological Diversity provides an ideal framework when planning and implementing new programmes. Application of the lessons learned to new public programmes will ensure that the answer to the question posed in the title is an emphatic “Yes”, and assist with the achievement of SDG 15.

尝试将支持向量机(SVM)应用于3种典型芳烃类环境毒物(PCDD,PCDF和PCB)定量构效关系研究,通过对芳烃受体亲和性考察,结果发现该组样本的生物活性在一定程度上与分子电性距离矢量具有非线性联系.SVM对内部和外部样本都具良好稳定性能和预测能力:所得模型拟合、交叉检验、外部预测复相关系数及均方根误差分别为R2cum=0.922、Q2cum=0.825、Q2ext=0.834和RMSext=0.531将其与文献报道及多元线性回归、偏最小二乘、人工神经网络进行比较,结果表明对小样本、非线性问题SVM具较强拓展性及泛化能力,故在环境毒物评价和控制中具有广阔应用前景.     

不同SAPO分子筛负载MnOx催化剂的低温NH3-SCR性能研究

以磷酸硅铝分子筛SAPO-5、SAPO~(-1)1和SAPO-34为载体,采用乙醇分散法制备了用于低温氨选择性还原(NH_3-SCR)NO_x的分子筛负载MnO_x催化剂.活性测试结果显示,3种分子筛催化剂均展现出优良的NH_3-SCR活性,但三者在低温区间的SCR活性存在较明显差异,其SCR活性顺序如下:MnO_x/SAPO-34MnO_x/SAPO-5MnO_x/SAPO~(-1)1.借助XRD、N2吸附-脱附、XPS、H2-TPR、NH_3-TPD、NH_3FT-IR等技术对催化剂的表面活性物种及表面酸性等进行表征分析,结果表明,MnO_x主要以无定型状态分散于载体上,负载后载体的比表面积和孔体积均有所下降.XPS和H2-TPR分析证实,不同分子筛载体上MnO_x的表面浓度与氧化态明显不同.NH_3-TPD和NH_3FT-IR分析揭示了催化剂表面均存在Bronsted酸位和Lewis酸位,其中,Lewis酸性位对低温SCR反应起着关键作用.研究表明,催化剂的催化性能会因载体不同而存在差异,高Mn4+表面浓度和丰富的Lewis酸性位对催化剂在低温区间实现优良的催化活性尤为重要.

有机化学品不同温度下(过冷)液体蒸气压预测模型的建立与评价

(过冷)液体蒸气压(PL)是评价化学品在环境中分配、迁移和归趋行为的重要参数。PL具有较强的温度依附性。发展一种能够精确预测不同环境温度下化学品PL的方法,有助于填补化学品生态风险评估的大量数据缺失。本研究收集整理了661种有机化合物在不同温度下(200~830 K)共计10 478个log PL值。在此基础上,采用偏最小二乘(PLS)回归和支持向量机(SVM)方法,构建了PL的线性和非线性预测模型。结果表明:2种模型均具有良好的拟合度、稳健性及预测能力,SVM模型的预测性能略高于PLS模型(PLS:R2adj.tra=0.912,RMSEtra=0.477,Q2ext=0.910;SVM:R2adj.tra=0.997,RMSEtra=0.092,Q2ext=0.967)。机理分析表明,温度是影响PL的主要因素,温度越高,蒸气压越大;其次,X1sol也影响PL大小,X1sol用来描述分子间的色散作用,分子间色散力越小,蒸气压越大;此外,化合物的氢键个数、极性和分子构型等因素也影响PL大小。采用Wiliams plot方法表征了PLS模型应用域。所建立的模型可用来预测烷烃、烯烃、醇、酮、羧酸、苯、酚、联苯、卤代芳香烃、含N化合物及含S化合物在不同温度下的PL数据。     

Bayesian Networks and Adaptive Management of Wildlife Habitat

Abstract: Adaptive management is an iterative process of gathering new knowledge regarding a system's behavior and monitoring the ecological consequences of management actions to improve management decisions. Although the concept originated in the 1970s, it is rarely actively incorporated into ecological restoration. Bayesian networks (BNs) are emerging as efficient ecological decision‐support tools well suited to adaptive management, but examples of their application in this capacity are few. We developed a BN within an adaptive‐management framework that focuses on managing the effects of feral grazing and prescribed burning regimes on avian diversity within woodlands of subtropical eastern Australia. We constructed the BN with baseline data to predict bird abundance as a function of habitat structure, grazing pressure, and prescribed burning. Results of sensitivity analyses suggested that grazing pressure increased the abundance of aggressive honeyeaters, which in turn had a strong negative effect on small passerines. Management interventions to reduce pressure of feral grazing and prescribed burning were then conducted, after which we collected a second set of field data to test the response of small passerines to these measures. We used these data, which incorporated ecological changes that may have resulted from the management interventions, to validate and update the BN. The network predictions of small passerine abundance under the new habitat and management conditions were very accurate. The updated BN concluded the first iteration of adaptive management and will be used in planning the next round of management interventions. The unique belief‐updating feature of BNs provides land managers with the flexibility to predict outcomes and evaluate the effectiveness of management interventions.     

Use of an Action‐Selection Framework for Human‐Carnivore Conflict in the Bangladesh Sundarbans

Abstract: Human–carnivore conflict is manifested in the death of humans, livestock, and carnivores. The resulting negative local attitudes and retribution killings imperil the future of many endangered carnivores. We tailored existing management tools to create a framework to facilitate the selection of actions to alleviate human–carnivore conflict and applied the framework to the human–tiger conflict in the Bangladesh Sundarbans. We identified potential actions that consider previous management efforts, local knowledge, cost‐effectiveness, fieldwork experience of authors and project staff, previous research on tiger ecology by the authors, and recommendations from human–carnivore conflict studies in other countries. Our framework includes creation of a profile to improve understanding of the nature of the conflict and its underlying causality. Identified actions include deterrents, education, direct tiger management, and response teams. We ranked actions by their potential to reduce conflict and the monetary cost of their implementation. We ranked tiger‐response teams and monitoring problem tigers as the two best actions because both had relatively high impact and cost‐effectiveness. We believe this framework could be used under a wide range of human–wildlife conflict situations because it provides a structured approach to selection of mitigating actions.
