煤矿巷道中低浓度甲烷微生物降解效能实验研究

为了研究煤矿低浓度甲烷微生物降解效能,富集、纯化分离并初步鉴定出可以甲烷作为唯一碳源的高效降解甲烷的好氧型微生物。生理生化实验表明,该菌符合甲烷氧化菌的典型特征。自主设计了模拟巷道中低浓度甲烷微生物降解实验分析系统。实验结果表明,在风速为0.5~1.0 m/s,甲烷体积分数为1%~5%范围内,随着甲烷体积分数的增加,甲烷的降解效果越明显,然而风速越大越不利于甲烷的降解,经过50 min的降解,甲烷体积分数由最高的5%最低降至1.43%;二氧化碳体积分数可由初始的0.031%最大升高到0.075%。实验还发现消耗的甲烷和生成的二氧化碳并非符合1∶1的比例。     

敞开式TBM施工隧道粉尘扩散及除尘系统研究

TBM掘进过程中产生大量粉尘，为了掌握粉尘的分布规律并优化除尘系统，以敞开式TBM为例，采用数值计算方法研究不同除尘风管位置，不同除尘风速和不同掘进面产尘量下的洞内粉尘浓度分布规律。研究结果表明:敞开式TBM隧道施工过程中，掘进面至除尘风管区域质量粉尘浓度较高，在除尘风管口后方区域下降到 2 mg/m3以下；除尘风管布置在距掘进面30 m位置处时，洞内沿程粉尘含量相对较大，除尘风管布置在距掘进面20 m位置处时洞内沿程及TBM支护区域粉尘含量相对较小；排风风速为15 m/s时，敞开式TBM支护区域粉尘质量浓度最小，排风风速为30 m/s时，该区域粉尘质量浓度最大；掘进面产尘量越大，洞内沿程及敞开式TBM支护区域粉尘质量浓度越大，不同产尘量下洞内粉尘浓度均在除尘风管后方达到规范限值以下。     

皮口至大长山岛海域现代沉积特征

2003年9月国家海洋环境监测中心对皮口至大长山岛海域进行了海洋资源综合调查与评价.取表层沉积物样90余个,3柱柱状样,通过实验室分析,将表层沉积物类型及其分布特征进行分析,并应用210Pb测年技术,测得调查区海域现代沉积物的堆积速度,探讨其沉积物的沉积速率.结果表明,该区表层沉积物类型以细颗粒沉积为主,具有淤泥质岸带的沉积特征.210Pb测得沉积速率揭示出测区的北岸潮滩区高于水下岸坡也高于大长山岛北侧近岸海域.该区物质来源丰富,沿岸鸭绿江、大洋河、碧流河、和庄河携带的泥沙严格控制了沉积物类型的分布特征.

珠江三角洲大暴雨的多普勒特征及形成机制

利用广州CINRAD-SA新一代多普勒天气雷达资料,结合天气形势分析,研究了华南地区夏季短时大暴雨的发生、发展过程,特别是中小尺度系统引发短时大暴雨不同发展阶段的多普勒特征以及辐合强度与短时大暴雨的关系,并对短时大暴雨的发展机制进行了初步探讨.通过分析发现,短时大暴雨产生于低空强盛西南气流等有利条件下,近地层雨区附近的气旋式扰动有利于激发对流,抽吸作用、局地锋生对对流的维持和加强起到了十分重要的作用.在短时大暴雨发生初期及发展旺盛期,大多数都伴有逆风区、辐合带等多普勒特征,中气旋更是与高强度降水、地面强风等剧烈天气密切相关.     

Radiological monitoring: terrestrial natural radionuclides in Kinta District,Perak, Malaysia

Natural background gamma radiation and radioactivity concentrations were investigated from 2003 to 2005 in Kinta District, Perak, Malaysia. Sample locations were distant from any ‘amang’ processing plants. The external gamma dose rates ranged from 39 to 1039 nGy h⁻¹. The mean external gamma dose rate was 222 ± 191 nGy h⁻¹. Small areas of relatively enhanced activity were located having external gamma dose rates of up to 1039 ± 104 nGy h⁻¹. The activity concentrations of ²³⁸U, ²³²Th and ⁴⁰K were analyzed by using a high-resolution co-axial HPGe detector system. The activity concentration ranges were 12–426 Bq kg⁻¹ for ²³⁸U, 19–1377 Bq kg⁻¹ for ²³²Th and <19–2204 Bq kg⁻¹ for ⁴⁰ K. Based on the radioactivity levels determined, the gamma-absorbed dose rates in air at 1 m above the ground were calculated. The calculated dose rates and measured dose rates had a good correlation coefficient, R of 0.94. To evaluate the radiological hazard of the natural radioactivity, the radium equivalent activity, the gamma-absorbed dose rate and the mean population weighted dose rate were calculated. An isodose map for the Kinta District was also produced.     

Variation in indoor levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from burning various biomass types in the traditional grass-roofed households in Western Kenya

Biomass burning as fuel in the traditional grass-roofed rural households of Western Province of Kenya in open fire places, in poorly ventilated conditions, lead to accumulation of soot under the roofs. This study characterized and quantified the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in accumulated soot in these households and determined the variation in PAHs concentrations with fuel biomass type. Soot samples collected from the households were extracted, cleaned and analysed by gas chromatography. The PAHs were identified using retention times, verified by gas chromatographic mass spectral analysis and quantified from peak area responses using the internal standard method. The PAHs levels significantly varied (P ≤ 0.05) with biomass type in the order: dung ≥ indigenous trees ≥ exotic trees ≥ shrubs and crop residues. Use of dung and wood from indigenous trees as fuel should be discouraged since they are higher emitters (P ≤ 0.05) of carcinogenic PAHs.     

Changes in cell-type composition in digestive gland of slugs and its influence in biomarkers following transplantation between a relatively unpolluted and a chronically metal-polluted site

Changes in cell-type composition (CCTC) is a general phenomenon that takes place in the digestive gland epithelium of stressed molluscs. The aim of the present work was to determine whether CCTC is a reversible process in the digestive gland of sentinel slugs chronically exposed to metal pollution and how CCTC affects metal accumulation parameters and different cell and tissue biomarkers of exposure and effect. Slugs (Arion ater) from an abandoned zinc mine were transferred to a relatively unpolluted site and the other way around for 3, 10 and 28 d. The volume density of black silver deposits (Vv_BSD) after autometallography, and metallothionein (MT) levels were used as biomarkers of exposure to metals and CCTC and lysosomal responses were selected as effect biomarkers. Results indicated that slugs were sensitive to recent metal pollution; however, slugs chronically exposed to metals presented some characteristic features and were less responsive to pollution cessation without signs of CCTC reversal.     

Assessment of Changes in Stream and Riparian Conditions of the Marys River Basin,Nevada1

Abstract: Stream and riparian managers must effectively allocate limited financial and personnel resources to monitor and manage riparian ecosystems. They need to use management strategies and monitoring methods that are compatible with their objectives and the response potential of each stream reach. Our objective is to help others set realistic management objectives by comparing results from different methods used to document riparian recovery across a diversity of stream types. The Bureau of Land Management Elko Field Office, Nevada, used stream survey, riparian proper functioning condition (PFC) assessment, repeat photographic analysis, and stream and ecological classification to study 10 streams within the Marys River watershed of northeast Nevada during all or parts of 20 years. Most riparian areas improved significantly from 1979 to 1992‐1993 and then additionally by 1997‐2000. Improvements were observed in riparian and habitat condition indices, bank cover, and stability, pool quality, bank angle, and depth of undercut bank. Interpretation of repeat photography generally confirmed results from stream survey and should be part of long‐term riparian monitoring. More attributes of Rosgen stream types C and E improved than of types B and F. A and Gc streams did not show significant improvement. Alluvial draws and alluvial valleys improved in more ways than V‐erosional canyons and especially V‐depositional canyons. Stream survey data could not be substituted for riparian PFC assessment. Riparian PFC assessments help interpret other data.
