Renal tubular dysfunction caused by dietary hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers

Abstract

Dietary administration of β‐ and α‐hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) to albino rats caused an abnormal excessive excretion of glucose in the urine, blood glucose level being nearly normal. Occurrence of glucosuria was also accompanied by increased excretions of the two low‐threshold compounds ‐ creatinine and urea, their levels in blood being normal. The interference of HCH isomers with renal function as evidenced by biochemical data was also indicated by histopathological lesions observed in the kidney sections, viz., hypertrophy and degeneration of the renal tubular epithelia.     

Signal Recognition and Hearing Protectors With Normal and Impaired Hearing

Recognition of acoustic signals when perception is subject to interference from noise has already been extensively studied. In this study the influence of hearing protectors (HP) (plugs, muffs) and hearing loss on signal recognition is examined. Different spectrums and levels of the noise are also included. The test results are shown as the masked threshold for the signals heard and identified. In the case of normally hearing subjects a frequency-independent HP (plug) improves hearing performance, while frequency-dependent HP (muffs) tends to worsen it, especially with low-frequency noise. Hearing losses even worsen hearing performance when plugs are worn. Design suggestions are made to optimise signal recognition. Minimum signal-to-noise ratio and the use of HP are discussed.     

长江中下游地区旱涝急转的阈值诊断及危险性评估

选择与长江中下游地区夏季旱涝异常有关的15项大气环流指数作为自变量,以旱涝急转指数为因变量,采用非线性非参数的分类与回归树方法(CART)预测旱涝急转成灾的危险性等级。CART不仅能够提取出主要致灾因子,同时可以诊断不同影响阈值条件下,旱涝异常的类型及危险性等级。研究结果显示,夏季和春季北极涛动指数、春季亚洲径向环流指数,以及春季亚洲区极涡面积指数4项指标是旱涝突变成灾的主要影响因子,对旱涝急转成灾的危险程度具有很好的表征作用。当夏季北极涛动指数大于1.11时,更容易发生涝转旱事件(危险性等级为1级),而当夏季北极涛动指数小于或等于1.11,同时春季北极涛动指数大于或等于-1.11时,更容易发生旱转涝事件(危险性等级为6级),其他危险性等级的条件也可从模型中直接判读出来。采用2011~2013年的实测数据和模型预测结果进行对比,两者非常接近,验证了模型的可靠性。采用的CART方法为长江中下游地区旱涝急转致灾的等级预测提供了一种新的思路。     

消防水幕对有害气体阻隔效果的试验研究

为研究消防水幕对有害气体的阻隔效果,通过大型和小型2种尺度的试验,测定大型真实水幕对液化石油气的阻隔效果,并建立实验室小尺寸水幕模型,测定水幕对液化石油气、氯气、氨气、二氧化碳等气体的阻隔效果。此外,在小尺寸模型中,添加特定化学药剂测定水幕对氨气和氯气的阻隔效果。结果表明:消防水幕可以有效地阻隔和稀释有害气体;在水源中添加特定的化学药剂,可以有效地提高水幕阻隔和稀释的效果,阻隔效率达到90%以上。为消防部队今后处置化学事故提供切实可靠的数据支撑。     

公共建筑火灾中人员生命风险分析

结合国内公共建筑火灾中影响人员生命安全的因素,提出一种公共建筑火灾中人员生命风险分析的方法。该方法根据人员生命危险出现的临界时间和疏散公式,可以定量计算出人员的伤亡率,以公共建筑火灾中可能的人员伤亡率大小评价公共建筑火灾中人员生命风险大小,进而分析出公共建筑火灾中可能影响人员伤亡的主要因素,最后提出减少人员伤亡的对策。结果表明该方法可以快速地估算出公共建筑物发生火灾的伤亡,并分析提出减少人员伤亡的方法。     

Balancing ecological conservation with socioeconomic development

Ecological restoration and conservation are primary components of sustainable development around the world, particularly during the contemporary era of climate change. However, restoration and conservation are not free; they consume huge amounts of resources that would otherwise support social and economic development. Therefore, excessive conservation creates a risk of creating rather than eliminating poverty. Unfortunately, scientists have largely ignored the balance between these contrasting goals. Here, we discuss the concept of finding the threshold that represents a suitable balance between ecological conservation and economic development, thereby maximizing the benefits for both humans and the environment and promoting sustainable development. To demonstrate the concept, we examined China’s ecological restoration achievements and discussed some of the unforeseen negative consequences that accompanied these achievements to discuss how future policies could better balance ecological and socioeconomic goals.     

不同恢复模式下红壤区森林植被盖度变化的阈值效应分析

植被恢复过程中乔木层与灌草层变化的阈值效应往往决定着生态恢复工程的成败,若忽视这一效应可能会引发其他生态问题。为了进一步促进我国森林生态系统植被恢复建设,填补相关研究空白,研究了典型红壤区自然和人工恢复模式下乔木层和灌草层盖度的动态变化特征,基于前沿的生态阈值评估框架,利用线性模型和三种阈值模型（包括分段回归模型、阶跃函数模型以及通用模型）评估了不同恢复模式下两种盖度指标之间的阈值效应。模型评估结果的后验分布形式表明：在人工恢复乔木层与灌草层盖度之间存在阈值效应,而在自然恢复模式下则不存在;通过比较各个模型评估结果的精度可知,分段回归模型结果更加准确;进一步利用分段回归模型得出,当前人工恢复样地中乔木层盖度的阈值为42.85%（95%的置信区间为41.57%~44.13%）,此时灌草盖度为58.75%,若超过乔木层盖度阈值会使得灌草层盖度开始降低。研究结果对促进我国红壤区人工林生态系统的结构改善具有较高的参考价值。     

化工企业废水污染源在线监控预警阈值确定方法研究

为解决我国污染源在线监控数据缺乏深层次利用、监测数据对污染源不能有效预警的状况,对企业日常污水排放的污染物进行监控预警,综合运用层次分析法和频次分析法,分别确立了在线监控预警的指标体系和污水排放不同警情的阈值范围,并以某化工厂12个月的在线监测数据为案例对方法进行了验证.分析结果表明,某化工厂污染源废水中ρ（氰化物）在0~0.50 mg/L之间,其中88.54%的监控数据分布范围为0~0.20 mg/L,均未超过GB 8978—1996《污水综合排放标准》Ⅱ级标准限值;ρ（COD_Cr）在3.51~499.17 mg/L之间,其中51.74%的数据分布在>300~400 mg/L之间,接近GB 8978—1996 Ⅲ级标准限值,出水ρ（COD_Cr）偏高;ρ（NH₄+-N）在0~45 mg/L之间,均未超过GB 8978—1996 Ⅱ级标准限值,其中91.13%的数据低于30 mg/L,出水ρ（NH₄+-N）较低.对确定的预警阈值方法验证结果表明:①依据权重值的大小最终筛选出氰化物、COD_Cr及NH₄+-N为预警指标.②某化工厂氰化物在排放正常、一般、不正常及极不正常状态对应的阈值范围分别可设为40%频次、30%频次、5%频次及超过5%频次所对应的浓度范围;COD_Cr和NH₄+-N各状态对应阈值浓度范围一致,均为50%频次、40%频次、5%频次及超过5%频次对应的数值.研究显示,基于在线监测数据并结合相关标准、化工企业排污风险特征和化工厂的生产特征及工艺等基本条件,提出利用频次分析法确定化工厂各采样时刻不同警情阈值的方法较为科学合理.
