Ozone distribution in central Italy and its effect on crop productivity

The focus of the present study was to assess the ozone levels in a typical area of the Mediterranean basin, viz. Tuscany (central Italy). Eighty-thousand hourly mean ozone concentrations were recorded by 10 automatic analysers in the districts of Florence, Pisa, Lucca and Prato, from May to September 1995 to 1997. The highest daily mean concentrations were reached in Florence, with a maximum hourly average of 197 ppb. In Lucca and Pisa, the peaks were close to 100 ppb. Data from Prato were much lower. Long-term critical levels for vegetation, as set by United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), were constantly exceeded in Florence and Pisa, occasionally in Lucca, never in Prato. The results were used to fit exposure/yield response relationships proposed by UNECE and US National Crop Loss Assessment Network for some important crops. The estimated yield losses varied in Florence from 8% for corn and alfalfa to 27% for soybean, in Pisa from 5% for corn to 24% for soybean, in Lucca from 3% for corn to 17% for soybean. A preliminary economic estimate for corn, wheat, barley, soybean, tomato and alfalfa, calculated annual damage to be 4.6 M Euro in Florence, 0.5 M Euro in Lucca and 3 M Euro in Pisa. The picture must be regarded as only partial, as exposure/yield response relationships for important Italian crops (such as grapevine and vegetables) are not available.

基于F-R-M法的刚构-连续梁桥施工期结构强度风险分析

为了解决刚构-连续梁桥施工过程中的风险问题,提出了一种神经网络与有限元结合的定量风险分析方法（F-R-M法）。以八盘峡黄河特大桥为工程背景建立有限元模型,运用参数敏感性分析确定出最不利施工阶段的结构强度主要风险随机变量,然后以蒙特卡洛原理为基础,通过径向基（RBF）神经网络计算结构失效概率,最后对桥梁施工风险进行定量分析。结果表明:该桥在最大悬臂状态下,结构应力仿真次数超过 1 000 万次时,梁体在最大悬臂端应力失效概率仅约为 1.17×10-5,失效概率极低。基于参数敏感性的F-R-M法可以快速、较高精度地对高速铁路刚构-连续梁桥施工期结构强度风险进行定量分析。     

APPLICATION OF SCS INFILTRATION MODEL1

ABSTRACT: The SCS infiltration model was applied to the Ralston Creek watershed in eastern Iowa. The criteria to determine the various model parameters were revised to obtain a better agreement between the observed and computed total runoffs. A procedure to calibrate the infiltration model is presented. The infiltration model was used in conjunction with an overland flow model to develop flood hydrographs. The results indicate that SCS infiltration model adequately describe the distribution of losses.     

EVALUATION OF INFLOW TO MIRROR LAKE,NEW HAMPSHIRE1

ABSTRACT: Measured stream discharge plus calculated ground water discharge (total measured runoff) were compared with runoff calculated by the unit-runoff method for the two largest watersheds of Mirror Lake for 1981–1983. Runoff calculated by the unit-runoff method, using Hubbard Brook watershed 3 as the index watershed, was greater than the total measured runoff into Mirror Lake during periods of high flow and slightly less than the total measured runoff into Mirror Lake during periods of low flow. Annual calculated unit runoff was 17 to 37 percent greater than total measured runoff. Differences in monthly runoff are far greater, ranging from 0 to greater than 100 percent. For high flows the calculated unit runoff is about 2 times greater than total measured runoff. For low flows the northwest basin of Mirror Lake has the greatest ground water contribution compared to the other two basins. In contrast, Hubbard Brook watershed 3 has the least ground water contribution.     

有机肥施用量与蔬菜硝酸盐和重金属关系初探

为控制施肥对蔬菜和土壤的负面影响,探讨蔬菜合理的有机肥施用量,在不同质地土壤上,田间试验小白菜、苦瓜、豇豆三种蔬菜施不同量有机肥,收获时测定其产量、品质、硝酸盐、重金属及试验前后土壤有机质含量。结果表明,(1)在施适量无机NPK的条件下,每造蔬菜的有机肥施用量(禽畜粪便,下同),砂土上小白菜为4500kg/hm2、苦瓜和豇豆为3000kg/hm2;壤土上,小白菜和苦瓜均宜施3000kg/hm2,豇豆则宜施4500kg/hm2;粘土上,小白菜每造只宜施1500~3000kg/hm2的有机肥。(2)有机肥必须与无机肥合理配合施用,才能获得最佳的产量和品质效果,在砂土上有机肥施得越多,蔬菜的硝酸盐含量越高,其它土壤也有类似趋势。(3)施高量(7500kg/hm2)有机肥的小白菜重金属含量最高,其次是施中量(3000kg/hm2)有机肥的,尤其是Cd。(4)施有机肥3000~4500kg/hm2 适量无机肥可使土壤有机质水平保持在种植蔬菜前的含量水平,该施肥量和方式不仅可使蔬菜高产、优质,还有利于保护土壤肥力。

Quantifying Rarity, Losses, and Risks for Native Fishes of the Lower Colorado River Basin: Implications for Conservation Listing

Abstract:  We examined spatial distributions of fishes native to the lower basin of the Colorado River (25 species) at three scales to determine percent decline from historical distributions based on a regional biodiversity database. We cumulated records from 1843 to 1980 to develop a "historical distribution" for each species and used those occurrences recorded from 1981 to 1998 as "modern" records. We then contrasted historical and modern distributions to (1) quantify losses in spatial distribution; (2) determine how strongly these losses and fragmentation patterns corresponded to the perceived risk of extinction of each species, as represented by its status under the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species; and (3) update extinction risk rankings for 15 fishes endemic to the lower Colorado Basin according to the IUCN criteria. Based on presence and absence data, fish fauna of the lower Colorado Basin have suffered massive distributional losses. On average, ranges of extant species have diminished more than 45% relative to their historical distribution, and 35% of species have lost 50% or more of their occurrences. We provide nine new IUCN rankings and six updates to reflect more accurately the heightened imperilment of these species. Based on our new rankings, 7 of the 15 lower Colorado Basin endemics are critically endangered, 1 is endangered, 2 are vulnerable, and 1 is already extinct. We categorize the remaining 2 endemics as lower risk. This work demonstrates the utility of matching quantitative spatial metrics such as the scale-area slope statistic to extinction risk criteria for species whose persistence is strongly influenced by spatial distribution.     

林可霉素菌渣堆肥抗生素抗性基因变化分析

为了研究抗生素菌渣堆肥过程中抗生素抗性基因（ARGs）的变化情况,以林可霉素菌渣-糠醛渣堆肥为研究对象,以污泥-糠醛渣堆肥为对照.运用荧光定量PCR技术检测到了堆肥过程中lnuA-01、sul1、ermA、ermB、ermC等5种林可霉素抗性基因和整合子基因intI1的变化情况.结果表明,堆肥化处理可以降解99%的林可霉素残留,两者堆肥ARGs总量绝对丰度均有较大增加,而相对丰度降低5%~22%.同时发现林可霉素菌渣堆肥有助于intI1的富集,表明林可霉素菌渣堆肥存在生态风险.冗余分析显示,ARGs变化受环境因子影响严重,影响顺序为pH值 > 林可霉素残留 > 温度 > C/N.
