办公建筑夏季用能行为测试研究

建筑使用者热环境改善行为对建筑能耗具有重要影响。对杭州市某办公建筑开展夏季空调使用行为测试。较高的空调使用率以及空调设备对室内热环境的显著改善说明空调使用是该地区夏季采用的主要降温措施。采用逻辑回归构建出夏季空调开启率预测模型。根据所构建的夏季空调开启率预测模型,得出测试房间空调开启室外耐受温度为32.0℃。根据测试期间空调开启时刻温度,得出空调开启室内耐受温度为28.7℃。     

负载型纳米CuO/MnO2催化剂的制备及催化氧化深度处理印染废水

以酸改性凹凸棒土(ATP)为载体,活性炭为添加剂,制备负载铜、锰过渡金属氧化物的凹凸棒土-活性炭催化剂。以印染废水生化处理后出水的COD和色度为处理对象,考察了不同的催化氧化条件,即凹凸棒土与活性炭的比例、pH、H2O2和催化剂的投加量对印染废水深度处理效果,并利用SEM、XRD对催化剂进行表征。结果表明:在室温25 ℃时,催化剂载体中凹凸棒土与活性炭的比例为2∶1,H2O2加入量为理论加入量的2倍,即2.4 mL·L-1,pH值为4,催化剂的使用量为15 g·L-1时,COD和色度的去除率最佳,分别达到93%和90%。扫描电镜结果表明铜、锰以颗粒的形式负载在催化剂的表面,XRD结果表明在催化剂载体表面,活性组分的存在形式为CuO、MnO2。

2种动物对复合垂直流人工湿地基质中磷形态的影响

分别向复合垂直流人工湿地下行流池和上行流池中加入蚯蚓和泥鳅,研究动物加入后人工湿地基质中磷形态及去除效率的变化。结果表明,加入蚯蚓后,下行流池基质中铁铝磷(Fe/Al-P)、钙磷(Ca-P)、有机磷和总磷的含量显著增加(p<0.05);加入泥鳅后,上行流池基质中Fe/Al-P含量无显著性变化,钙磷、有机磷、总磷含量增加。人工湿地加入蚯蚓后,基质中Ca-P占总磷的百分比下降,Fe/Al-P和有机磷占总磷的百分比增加;加入泥鳅后,基质中Ca-P占总磷的百分比也下降,而有机磷占总磷的百分比升高,该结果表明,蚯蚓和泥鳅促进了基质中Ca-P向有机磷的转化。加入蚯蚓的人工湿地对磷的去除率高于未加蚯蚓的人工湿地,其原因之一可能与加入蚯蚓后人工湿地基质总磷含量增加有关。     

The role of situation awareness in accidents of large-scale technological systems

In the last two decades, several serious accidents at large-scale technological systems that have had grave consequences, such as that at Bhopal, have primarily been attributed to human error. However, further investigations have revealed that humans are not the primary cause of these accidents, but have inherited the problems and difficulties of working with complex systems created by engineers. The operators have to comprehend malfunctions in real time, respond quickly, and make rapid decisions to return operational units to normal conditions, but under these circumstances, the mental workload of operators rises sharply, and a mental workload that is too high increases the rate of error. Therefore, cognivitive human features such as situation awareness (SA)—one of the most important prerequisite for decision-making—should be considered and analyzed appropriately. This paper applys the SA Error Taxonomy methodology to analyze the role of SA in three different accidents: (1) A runaway chemical reaction at Institute, West Virginia killing two employees, injuring eight people, and requiring the evacuation of more than 40,000 residents adjacent to the facility, (2) The ignition of a vapor cloud at Bellwood, Illinois that killed one person, injured two employees, and caused significant business interruption, and (3) An explosion at Ontario, California injuring four workers and caused extensive damage to the facility. In addition, the paper presents certain requirements for cognitive operator support system development and operator training under abnormal situations to promote operators’ SA in the process industry.     

Evaluating Nonpoint Pollution Policy Using a Tightly Coupled Spatial Decision Support System

Policy makers often must rely on the cumulative impact of independent actions taken by local landowners to achieve environmental goals. The connection between policy, regulation, and local action, however, is often not well understood and, thus, the impact of proposed policies may be difficult to predict. In this study we evaluate the effectiveness of alternative policy scenarios for agricultural set aside programs (e.g., the conservation reserve program administered by the United States Department of Agriculture) in reducing nonpoint pollution. Two alternative policy scenarios are developed and analyzed; one based on the erodibility index (detachment), the other sediment yield (transport). An estimate of the cumulative impact of associated land use change on nonpoint pollution is made using the AGNPS distributed parameter watershed model. This work is completed within the Cypress Creek watershed in southern Illinois. An analysis of the resulting data suggests that the most efficacious regulatory strategy for achieving nonpoint water pollution goals depends, in part, on place-specific land use patterns. This conclusion provides a solid argument for place-based regulatory strategies.     

The mental health of expatriate and Kosovar Albanian humanitarian aid workers

The mental health consequences of exposure to traumatic events and the risk factors for psychological morbidity among expatriate and Kosovar Albanian humanitarian aid workers have not been well studied. In June 2000, we used standardised screening tools to survey 285 (69.5%) of 410 expatriate aid workers and 325 (75.8%) of 429 Kosovar Albanian aid workers from 22 humanitarian organizations that were implementing health programmes in Kosovo. The mean number of trauma events experienced by expatriates was 2.8 (standard deviation: 2.7) and by Kosovar staff 3.2 (standard deviation: 2.8). Although only 1.1% of expatriate and 6.2% of Kosovar aid workers reported symptoms consistent with the diagnosis for post-traumatic stress disorder, 17.2% and 16.9%, respectively, reported symptoms satisfying the definition of depression. Regression analysis demonstrated that the number of trauma events experienced was significantly associated with depression for the two sets of workers. Organisational support services may be an important mediating factor and should be targeted at both groups.     

惠济河底泥重金属污染特征及潜在生态风险评价

连续5 a对惠济河(开封市区段)8个断面的底泥样品中Cu、Zn、Pb、Cd及Cr 5种重金属的浓度进行分析,并采用单因子污染指数法、综合污染指数法、地积累指数法、潜在生态风险指数法进行生态风险评价。监测结果表明:8个断面中除最上游孙李唐庄桥断面底泥未受重金属污染外,其余断面底泥均有不同程度的污染,以皮屯桥断面底泥污染最重,达严重污染。综合污染指数法评价结果表明:惠济河底泥Cd为重度污染,Cu和Pb为轻度污染,Zn为轻微污染,Cr为无污染;除皮屯桥断面底泥综合污染指数高达6.74外,其他断面综合污染指数为0.55~1.89。地积累指数法评价结果表明:惠济河底泥首要重金属污染物为Cd,平均流域地积累指数高达3.50,处于污染等级4,即偏重度污染;此外,Cu、Pb偏中度污染,Zn轻度污染,Cr无污染。潜在生态风险指数法评价结果表明:惠济河底泥中Cd为强生态危害,其他重金属为轻度生态危害;重金属污染综合评价为强生态危害,这主要是Cd浓度过高造成的,其最高潜在生态风险因子达2 233.50,出现在皮屯桥断面。
