中国绿色发展和外商直接投资政策选择

随着全球各国对环境问题认识的不断加深,我国政府对绿色发展日益重视,并将其设定为实现未来经济发展终极目标的必然过程.然而对我国经济发展一直起到重要作用的外商直接投资(FDI)在拉动经济增长的同时,也带来了较为严重的环境污染问题.从上世纪90年代初至今,随着我国经济和FDI的快速增长,主要污染物排放指标包括工业废水、工业废气以及工业SO2等却基本上呈逐年增加的态势.这一关联的背后是否隐藏着发达国家对我国的污染转移问题,引发人们对于“污染天堂”假说在中国是否存在的担忧.尽管公认跨国公司的环境业绩一般会比本土企业做得更好,但是我国外商直接投资长期和总量的增长是否会对我国环境产生影响,是否会带来更多的污染避难所现象?就这个问题,目前研究都以实证或案例分析为主,尚缺乏贸易理论角度的分析.本文创新的将FDI理论与贸易污染转移理论模型相结合,推导出FDI污染转移模型,得到结论认为以降低成本为目的的垂直型FDI的确会集中于污染密集型行业.为了验证该理论模型,本文使用我国第三次工业普查数据进行实证检验,实证研究结果与理论分析相一致.相比内资企业,外资企业的确集中于污染密集型行业,尤其是制革与毛皮鞣制业、造纸业等重度污染行业,这与我国的绿色发展路径是相悖的.因此,我们建议我国需要从环境保护角度出发调整外商直接投资的行业政策,在行业层次设定环境准入门槛,从源头上有效控制污染企业的进入.     

Kin composition effects on reproductive competition among queenless honeybee workers

Kin selection and inclusive fitness theories predict that, in hopeless queenless (QL) groups, competition or cooperation will occur over male production among workers of different patrilines. Competition is expected to involve mutual inhibition of reproduction and to affect fertility advertisement. To examine kin effect on these phenomena, we studied QL groups of honeybee workers comprising three types of kin structure: groups composed of pure single patrilines, groups composed of three mixed patrilines (all originating from colonies headed by single-drone-inseminated queens), and control groups composed of bees originating from naturally mated queens. Global assessment of ovarian development, irrespective of patriline composition, revealed no differences among group types. In contrast, the performance of specific patrilines revealed that, in the three-mixed-patriline groups, some patrilines were reproductively suppressed compared to their performance when reared as a pure single patriline, resulting in an uneven share of reproduction. Analysis of the fertility signal produced by Dufour's gland revealed kin composition effects, which may reflect the bees' competitive efforts. Although patriline effects on worker reproductive superiority have been shown in QL colonies, we were able to investigate specific patriline performance both in competitive and noncompetitive situations here for the first time. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that reproductive and pheromonal competitions in QL groups are affected by the number of subfamilies populating a colony and that these act as coalitions. The results also emphasize that within-colony heterogeneity, in the form of multiple patrilines, has far-reaching consequences on social evolution.     

Degeneration of sperm reservoir and the loss of mating ability in worker ants

Workers never mate in the large majority of ants, and they have usually lost the spermatheca, an organ specialized for long-term storage of sperm. Such ‘non-sexual’ workers are restricted to laying unfertilized eggs that give rise to males, and they cannot compete with the queens for the production of female offspring. In sharp contrast, workers in 200–300 species from phylogenetically basal subfamilies can reproduce sexually (‘gamergates’) because they retain a functional spermatheca like the queens. Importantly, ‘non-sexual’ workers in closely related species have a vestigial spermatheca. In this study, we compared the reservoir epithelium of ‘sexual’ workers to that of congeneric queens and ‘non-sexual’ workers using 21 species of Amblyoponinae, Ponerinae and Ectatomminae. We show that a pronounced thickening of the epithelium near the opening of the sperm duct is strictly associated with sexual reproduction in both castes. This is unlike ‘non-sexual’ workers in which this epithelium is always very thin, with few organelles; but all other structures remain intact. We discuss this evolutionary degeneration of the spermatheca and how it relates to behavioural or physiological modifications linked to mating. Our results help understand the loss of sexual reproduction by ant workers, a critical step in the extreme specialization of their phenotype.     

脱硫成本—地面浓度响应模型理论和案例初探

低碳产品、定向广告与供应链营销投资策略演化

在对定向广告影响低碳产品制造商、零售商的供应链营销投资策略及其竞争关系分析基本上,建立制造商主导的Stackelberg博弈模型,给出制造商、零售商不同投资策略组合下的支付矩阵,构建以促进低碳产品销售为目标的演化博弈模型,根据产品低碳度、差异化低碳产品,分析不同低碳产品供应链定向广告投资策略演化路径及稳定性,并利用Netlogo进行博弈双方策略演化仿真,揭示消费者低碳偏好度、广告效应因子、价格敏感系数对策略演化路径的影响规律.研究发现,在制造商、零售商有限理性下,成本共担契约不能促成双方定向广告投资合作;产品低碳度不同,低碳供应链演化均衡策略存在差异;与制造商相比,零售商投资定向广告可催生更大市场需求,更有利于低碳产品的普及和推广;对低碳度较高产品,消费者低碳偏好度、价格敏感系数与零售商投资意愿正相关,广告效应因子对零售商投资意愿的影响存在峰值,当广告效应因子在合适范围内时,零售商投资意愿最大.据此,提出了相应的管理启示和决策建议.     

污水再生处理微滤-反渗透工艺经济分析

近年来,微滤-反渗透(MF-RO)工艺在污水再生处理领域中的应用越来越受到关注,但其设备投资和运行成本较高,需要建立科学、高效的运行管理机制和投入产出机制,以提高其经济效益。系统研究了北京市某再生水厂微滤-反渗透(MF-RO)工艺的设备投资及运行费用等情况。再生水成本主要由设备折旧费和运行成本组成,其中运行成本所占比例较高,而在运行成本中所占比例最高的是膜更换费、电费和药剂费。目前该厂再生水销水量约为7 000 m3/d,运行负荷率仅为33.33%,导致再生水成本较高,总成本约达5.29元/m3,其中设备折旧费为0.83元/m3,运行成本约为4.46元/m3。因此提高运行负荷率,即提高销水量,是降低再生水成本的关键。     

Reproductive toxicity assessment of surface water of the Tai section of the Yangtze River, China by in vitro bioassays coupled with chemical analysis

Reproductive toxicity of organic extracts of the surface water from the Tai section of the Yangtze River was assessed by in vitro cytotoxity assays and selected persistent organic pollutants including PCBs, OCPs and PAHs were quantified by instrumental analysis. Eleven of the US EPA priority PAHs were detected. Individual PAHs were found to range from 0.7 to 20 ng/L. Concentrations of BaP did not exceed the national drinking water source quality standard of China. However, a 286-fold concentrated organic extract induced significant reproductive toxicity in adult male rats. The morphology of cells, MTT assay and LDH release assay were all affected by exposure to the organic extracts of water. The results of the reproductive toxicity indicated that PAHs posed the greatest risk of the chemicals studied. The compounds present in the water could be bioconcentrated and result in adverse effects.     

广西城镇污水处理厂建设和运行的现状分析

全区108座污水处理厂建设规模、工艺、投资和运行成本统计表明,广西城镇污水处理厂以小型污水处理厂为主,处理工艺多采用氧化沟、A2/O、SBR及其变种工艺;5～10万m3/d规模污水处理单位建设投资以氧化沟、A2/O、SBR及其变种工艺较省,2～5万m3/d规模以氧化沟、MSBR工艺较省,2 m3/d以下规模以硅藻土、人工湿地和人工快渗工艺较为经济;2～10万m3/d规模污水处理厂各工艺运行成本多介于0.3～0.4元/m3,2万m3/d以下规模人工快渗和人工湿地工艺的运行费用介于0.2～0.3元/m3。不同规模、不同工艺、不同排放标准污水处理厂的投资建设、运行成本和出水水质各异,因此,污水处理厂应因地制宜选择适宜工艺技术、规模及排放标准,有效提高设施运行负荷率和污染物的去除率。
