沉降土体对管道跨越结构应力影响的分析

为了更好地保障长输管道的安全稳定运行,针对长输管道当中的跨越结构进行了应力分析与计算。基于管道跨越结构其结构的特殊性,极容易受到断层、土体塌陷等地质灾害的影响。因此建立了跨越段埋地管道与土壤相互作用的有限元力学模型,分析了30°、40°、50°、60°跨越结构和不同范围土体发生沉降时,管道的应力变化情况。结果显示,当跨越结构中斜管段的角度确定后,便可计算出相应的安全沉降长度;当斜管段角度为50°时,沉降长度控制在13.6m以内,可保证跨越结构不发生塑性变形。通过研究为管道跨越段的安全设计提供了理论依据,该方法可应用在类似的管道跨越结构的应力设计当中。     

Volatile organic compounds of Acacia longifolia and their effects on germination and early growth of species from invaded habitats

Acacia longifolia, a highly invasive species that invades coastal ecosystems in Mediterranean areas, produces significant impacts at different scales. Abundant foliage and thick canopies create a dense atmosphere that led us to hypothesise that the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) could play a role in the reduction of biodiversity observed in invaded areas. Therefore, we suggested that VOCs emitted by A. longifolia could exert inhibitory effects on physiological and biochemical parameters of native species. Using glass chamber bioassays, we evaluated the effect of aerial contact between VOCs from different plant parts of A. longifolia material and some native species. Volatile chemical composition was further analysed using GC-MS. Our results indicated that VOCs produced a notably reduction of seed germination. Furthermore, volatiles from leaves and flowers significantly decreased root length, shoot length and biomass for all species. Proline and malondialdehyde content did not significantly increase after contact with VOCs. Finally, chemical profile of VOCs from flowers, leaves and litter was significantly different, both qualitatively and quantitatively. As far as we know, our results constitute the first evidence of phytotoxicity induced by VOCs from A. longifolia, suggesting that flowers and leaves could influence its surrounding environment through VOCs release.     

Combined use of earthworm (Alma millsoni) and bacterium (Bacillus sp.) improved the bioremediation of spent engine oil contaminated soil

This study was carried out to assess the effectiveness of the combined use of earthworm (Alma millsoni) and bacterium (Bacillus sp.) in the bioremediation of spent engine oil (SEO) contaminated soils. A. millisoni were collected from the Botanical Garden of University of Ibadan, Nigeria. The stock culture of hydrocarbonoclastic Bacillus sp. was used for the bioremediation study. A set-up of eight pots containing 1000?g soil sample and 20?g of cow dung were mixed with 100, 75, 50 and 0?mL SEO respectively. Each of the set up was subjected to bioremediation agents; A. millisoni alone, Bacillus sp alone, A. millisoni and Bacillus sp, no treatment (control) in duplicate. Treatment of 100?ml SEO contaminated soil with combined A. millisoni and Bacillus sp resulted in significantly (P? bacterium > vermi-remediating agents. Earthworms exposed to 100?mLSEO-contaminated soil had higher CAT, SOD, and GPx activities compared to the control. Findings indicated that A. millisoni with Bacillus sp. can synergistically improve bioremediation of SEO contaminated soils.     

Oxidative and genotoxic effects of bisphenol A on primary gill cell culture of Lake Van Fish (Alburnus tarichi Güldenstädt, 1814)

Lake Van is the largest lake in Turkey. The lake limits lifespan due to its high pH and brackish water. For this reason, only a single species of fish (Van Fish) is living in the lake that has been adapted to these conditions. In the present study, we investigated the total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS), malondialdehyde (MDA) level and DNA damage effect of bisphenol A (BPA) (10^?7, 10^?6 and 10^?5?M) on primary gill cell culture of Van Fish for 24 and 48?h of incubation periods. TAS levels were not changed when compared to those of the control group, but TOS levels were decreased in both 24 and 48?h. The MDA level increased only at the highest concentration (10^?5) at the end of 12 and 24?h (p?.05). DNA damage increased only at the 10^?5?M concentration after 48?h. At the end of the experiment, BPA exposure caused lipid peroxidation and genotoxic effect. These results indicate that high levels of BPA exposure induced oxidative stress and DNA damage by time- and concentration-dependent fashion in the gill cell culture of Van Fish. Gill cell culture is a useful model for the rapid identification of the harmful effects of chemicals in the aquatic environment.     

近距离煤层群叠加开采采动应力与覆岩位移场演化特征

为获得近距离煤层群叠加开采条件下采动应力与覆岩位移场的演化特征,以潘二矿近距离煤层6,7煤层地质条件为背景,采用相似模拟与工程实践相结合的方法进行了研究。结果表明:近距离煤层群叠加开采形成的覆岩宏观运移形态和特征与单一煤层开采相似,叠加开采时,覆岩呈多岩层整体协调运移的规律,具有位移叠加增长效应;7煤层的开采使覆岩起到一定的垫层作用,缓和了矿山压力,使近距离煤层叠加开采时具有应力减弱效应;与开采7煤层相比,6煤层开采过程中,周期来压步距减小,来压时支架载荷减弱,动压系数相应减小,但周期来压时,存在部分岩层发生台阶式下沉的现象。基于近距离煤层群叠加开采研究结果,在近距离煤层群开采的设备选型时,选用了高额定工作阻力的液压支架,在周期来压期间,采取了一定的辅助措施,同时加强了组织管理,生产中没有发生冲击液压支架及其他动力灾害的现象。     

循环载荷下煤样渗透特性试验研究

以原煤煤样为研究对象,采用自主研发的三轴应力渗流实验系统,进行等幅循环加、卸载的渗透率测试,研究煤样疲劳损伤过程中渗透率对应力水平的响应特征。结果表明:上、下限应力点处渗透率随循环次数出现降低-稳定-升高3个阶段,整体呈“U”型,并且随着上限应力水平的升高,曲线有向“V”型发展的趋势。拟合结果显示:在渗透率降低阶段,渗透率与循环次数呈幂指数函数关系;在渗透率升高阶段,渗透率与循环次数呈指数函数关系,并且渗透率随循环次数的降低和升高速率与上限应力水平正相关。     

考虑峰后软化的圆形巷道稳定性分析及工程应用

为获得更准确的巷道围岩应力分布和变形特征,基于统一强度理论,考虑围岩塑性软化和中间主应力的影响,引入塑性软化参数,推导出巷道围岩弹塑性区应力、塑性区范围和位移的表达式。通过算例分析,得到塑性软化系数和中间主应力等相关参数对巷道围岩应力分布、塑性区半径和位移的影响规律。研究结果表明:随内摩擦角软化系数和黏聚力软化系数的增大,围岩塑性区半径和位移呈现先急剧后缓慢的减小趋势;中间主应力系数对巷道围岩弹塑性应力有着显著影响,中间主应力系数越大,围岩塑性区半径和位移越小。     

深部条件下的煤岩钻孔喷孔试验研究

为了研究深部条件下的煤岩体动力显现特征规律,运用钻孔喷孔试验系统进行了不同载荷作用下的钻孔喷孔试验,测试并分析比较煤试样在试验过程中的应力、应变、钻屑量、声发射等参数。结果表明:只有当煤样加载压力超过某一临界值后,才会发生钻孔喷孔现象;加载压力越大,煤试件的钻屑量越多,钻孔喷孔次数越多;同时,喷孔时伴随较大煤岩颗粒喷出,钻孔喷孔是一个能量瞬间释放的过程,侧向应力和应变在能量释放瞬间会经历突然减小或经过短暂的增加后骤然减小的过程,与钻孔喷孔事件相对应;声发射事件除在钻孔周围分布比较密集外,每个试件也有呈条带状分布的区域。声发射事件数、振铃数、能量等都随着加载时间的增加而增加,在喷孔阶段更加明显。试验结果有效揭示了钻孔喷孔过程。     

Modelling periphyton in irrigation canals

Periphyton developments in water distribution canals induce major disturbances for system management, such as clogging problems when fixed algae are detached. Periphyton models can be used to simulate and improve canal management. The purpose of this paper is to review the periphyton models which integrate a hydrodynamic effect, and to discuss their relevance for application in open-channels. Afterwards, a new model of periphyton detachment that integrates the hydrodynamic factor is proposed. An experiment in semi-real conditions is performed to compare periphyton development under four different hydrodynamic regimes. The proposed model is compared on experimental results with two existing models. The new model reproduces well the periphyton dynamics in the four canals simultaneously.     

The Moderating Role of Hardiness and Social Support in the Relation Between Job Stressors and Well-Being. A Lesson From a Clerical Women Sample

The study concerns the moderating role of two variables—hardiness and social support—in the relation between job stressors and well-being. It was checked if there is a connection between hardiness and social support, and if these variables are directly related to the level of well-being. It was also hypothesized that hardiness and social support buffer the negative influence of stressors on well-being. The fact that social support and well-being are multidimensional variables was taken into account.

The cross-sectional study was conducted on a group of 200 women employed as office workers. The results showed that hardiness correlates with the indexes of emotional support as well as practical support coming from supervisors. The connection, however, was not strong. Hardiness and social support were directly connected with the level of well-being. Interaction of these two independent variables played a marginal role. As far as the buffering role of these variables was concerned, the results have shown that hardiness did not play a buffering role and social support did to a limited degree only.

The results of the study proved that it is justifiable to treat social support and well-being as multidimensional variables.
