Multi-group approximation, scattering and calibration coefficients, uncertainty estimates and detection limits of a NaI(Tl)-based gamma spectrometry set-up for low-level activity analysis

This paper describes a quantitative radioactivity analysis method especially suitable for environmental samples with low-level activity. The method, consisting of a multi-group approximation based on total absorption and Compton spectra of gamma rays, is coherently formalized and a computer algorithm thereof designed to analyze low-level activity NaI(Tl) gamma ray spectra of environmental samples. Milk powder from 1988 was used as the example case. Included is a special analysis on the uncertainty estimation. Gamma sensitiveness is defined and numerically evaluated. The results reproduced the calibration data well, attesting to the reliability of the method. The special analysis shows that the uncertainty of the assessed activity is tied to that of the calibration activity data. More than 77% of measured 1461-keV photons of ⁴⁰K were counted in the range of clearly lower energies. Pile-up of single line photons (¹³⁷Cs) looks negligible compared to that of a two-line cascade (¹³⁴Cs). The detection limit varies with radionuclide and spectrum region and is related to the gamma sensitiveness of the detection system. The best detection limit always lies in a spectrum region holding a line of the radionuclide and the highest sensitiveness. The most radioactive milk powder sample showed a activity concentration of 21 ± 1 Bq g⁻¹for ¹³⁷Cs, 323 ± 13 Bq g⁻¹ for ⁴⁰K and no ¹³⁴Cs.     

A GIS-based technique for linking landscape characteristics to non-point source nitrogen export potential: implications for contributing areas management

A Nitrate-N Leaching Index (NLI) is calculated and the results indicate that nitrogen loss in the study area occurs through both leaching and surface runoff. A non-linear regression model of trapping efficiency was combined with a first order decay model to examine the impact of soil characteristics, slope, vegetative cover, land use and distance to streams on the spatial pattern of non-point source nitrogen inputs to streams. The model evaluates the statistical significance of each landscape factor and provides an easy interpretation of the landscape delivery ratio of nitrogen based on a pixel-based characterisation of the watershed. The model was validated by comparing the distributions of the observed and estimated monthly nitrogen concentrations. The exploratory GIS-based method presented here can improve the understanding of the impact of landscape characteristics on nitrate-nitrogen contributing areas and therefore assist watershed management efforts.     

Size characterization of the associations between carbon nanotubes and humic acids in aqueous media by asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation combined with multi-angle light scattering

This work focuses on the influence of humic acids (HAs) on the fate of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in aqueous media. This influence was demonstrated by mixing CNT powder with HAs in aqueous solution in varying concentrations. The aqueous media containing HAs and CNTs were size-characterized by asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AsFlFFF) coupled with multi-angle light scattering (MALS). This coupling yielded information concerning the size distribution of single- and multi-walled CNTs (SWCNTs and MWCNTs) and HAs under different physico-chemical conditions that can occur in environmental water. HAs can disperse individual CNTs in aqueous media. However, the difference in the physical structure between SWCNTs and MWCNTs leads to significant differences in the quantity of HA that can adsorb onto the nanotube surface and in the stability of the CNT/HA complex. Compared with MWCNTs, SWCNTs suspended in HAs are less affected by changing ionic strength with respect to stability and the amount suspended.

乌鲁木齐冬季气溶胶散射吸收特性

采用积分式浑浊度仪于2012年1月在乌鲁木齐市中区和市北区对气溶胶的散射系数和吸收系数进行连续观测,分析了市中区与市北区气溶胶散射系数和吸收系数的变化特征,结合同期的相关气象资料对变化特征进行了讨论。结果表明,市中区和市北区气溶胶的散射系数、吸收系数具有相同的变化趋势。总体上呈"W"型;峰值分别出现在0:00和12:00前后,谷值则出现在5:00和17:00前后。散射系数远大于吸收系数,说明大气气溶胶的消光作用主要由散射作用完成。相对湿度与散射系数、吸收系数不具有显著相关性,而风速对散射系数、吸收系数影响较大,且对市北区的影响大于市中区。     

咸水藻水华期溶解有机质光谱特征变化的模拟

以崇明北湖湖水培养长江口常见的中肋骨条藻为研究对象,模拟了其在咸水湖中的水华暴发过程,利用分子光谱学技术分析了中肋骨条藻培养过程中溶解有机质(DOM)的光学吸收系数(a355)和三维荧光光谱(3DEEM)的变化.结果表明,中肋骨条藻增殖过程a355逐渐增加,并且出现7种荧光团,代表DOM中的类蛋白荧光物质和类腐殖酸荧光物质.在藻类进入衰亡期后,各荧光峰强度大幅度增加;类腐殖酸荧光强度、溶解有机碳(DOC)含量和a355之间均存在着良好的相关性,高、低激发波长的类蛋白荧光物质具有同源性.荧光指数的增大与类蛋白荧光的产生,显示微生物在有色溶解有机质(CDOM)的生产上起着重要的作用.无菌条件下培养的藻液中各荧光峰强度均很弱,说明细菌可能将源于藻类的非荧光物质转化为CDOM.     

Occurrence, polarity and bioavailability of dissolved organic matter in the Huangpu River, China

Dissolved organic matter （DOM） plays an important role in biogeochemical cycles in aquatic ecosystem. To investigate the characteristics of DOM in Huangpu River {the last tributary of the Yangtze River）, surface water samples were collected along the river from December 2011 to June, 2013. The concentrations of dissolved organic carbon （DOC）, the absorbance and fluorescence spectrum of DOM in water samples were measured. Fluorescent DOM in the Huangpu River was decomposed into four components by the parallel factor analysis （PARAFAC）, including one humic-like substance and three protein-like substances. It showed that high spatial variability of DOC concentration was observed in the upstream water compared to the downstream water, and so did the absorbance coefficients of chromophoric dissolved organic matter and the total fluorescence intensities of different PARAFAC components of DOM. Furthermore, there was a large difference between the polarity and bioavailability of DOM in the Huangpu River. Polar compounds dominated tyrosine-like component of fluorescent DOM in all seasons. Tryptophan-like and humic-like substances had more polar fraction in summer and autumn than those in winter, while aromatic protein-like materials had the highest polar fraction in winter. Almost all of fluorescent DOM components were refractory in spring, while less than 20% of fluorescent DOM in average were biodegradable within 4 weeks in other seasons. We concluded that the spatial variation in the abundance of DOM in the Huangpu River is mainly affected by the water discharges from the Hangjiahu Plain and the seasonal difference in polarity and bioavailability of DOM is largely determined by its origins.     

苏州市气溶胶消光特性及其对灰霾特征的影响

为研究气溶胶消光特性对城市灰霾特征及形成的影响机制,采用2010年1月─2013年12月4 a的苏州市逐时散射系数、能见度、颗粒物质量浓度以及风速、风向、气温、气压、相对湿度等数据,对该市气溶胶散射系数、消光特性及影响因子进行了研究. 结果表明:苏州市气溶胶散射系数为(301.1±251.3)Mm-1,日变化呈双峰型,早高峰出现在07:00─08:00,晚高峰出现在20:00─21:00;其年内变化呈夏季低、冬季高. 气溶胶散射系数与ρ(PM_2.5)的相关系数为0.77,高于与ρ(PM₁)和ρ(PM₁₀)的相关性,PM_2.5散射效率为6.08 m2/g. 气溶胶散射系数受风速、风向等气象要素的影响:风速<4 m/s时,气溶胶散射系数下降迅速;风速在4～6 m/s时,气溶胶散射系数随风速下降缓慢. 苏州市气溶胶单次散射反照率平均值为0.84,散射消光比平均值为0.79,说明该地区气溶胶消光以散射性气溶胶为主. 气溶胶散射消光、气溶胶吸收消光、空气分子散射消光、NO₂吸收消光分别占大气消光的82.33%、13.63%、2.72%和1.32%. 研究表明,对气溶胶散射消光贡献最大的非吸收性PM_2.5是苏州市能见度下降、灰霾增加的最重要原因.
