ESTIMATES OF MEAN CHLOROPHYLL-a CONCENTRATION: PRECISION,ACCURACY, AND SAMPLING DESIGN1

ABSTRACT: Data from 56 north-temperate lakes and reservoirs are used to develop models predicting temporal variance as a function of the mean chlorophyll-a concentration. Trophy, as estimated by mean chlorophyll-a concentration, is shown to have little effect on the sampling effort required to achieve a pre-determined level of precision for lakes sampled year-round. Collecting ten observations results in a coefficient of variation that averaged 20 percent; collecting more than ten observations yields increasingly marginal improvements in precision. The same guidelines apply to mesotrophic or eutrophic lakes sampled in the summer, whereas oligotrophic lakes sampled in the summer require fewer observations to achieve the same level of precision. The bias resulting from collecting too few observations is minimized if five or more observations are collected.     

传热子模型对火灾网络模型的求解精度与速度的影响研究

分析半无限大物体的传热过程,提出线性化的传热计算方法并编制了计算子程序,将子程序嵌入传热子模型为有限厚墙体的《高层建筑火灾烟流运动特性预测软件》,利用实例分析比较了两种传热计算方法对火灾网络模型求解精度和求解速度的影响。计算结果表明对3个节点的简单建筑,半无限大传热子模型与有限厚模型的室温计算最大偏差不超过5%,而计算机耗时约减少了1/3。该研究的结论对《高层建筑火灾烟流运动特性预测软件》的进一步完善和成熟及其市场化具有重要的推动作用。

Application of multiwalled carbon nanotubes treated by potassium permanganate for determination of trace cadmium prior to flame atomic absorption spectrometry

In this study we investigated the enrichment ability of oxidized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and established a new method for the determination of trace cadmium in environment with flame atomic absorption spectrometry.The MWCNTs were oxidized by potassium permanganate under appropriate conditions before use as preconcentration packing.Parameters influencing the recoveries of target analytes were optimized.Under optimal conditions,the target analyte exhibited a good linearity (R~2=0.9992) over the concentration range 0.5-50 ng/ml.The detection limit and precision of the proposed method were 0.15 ng/ml and 2.06%, respectively.The proposed method was applied to the determination of cadmium in real-world environmental samples and the recoveries were in the range of 91.3%-108.0%.All these experimental results indicated that this new procedure could be applied to the determination of trace cadmium in environmental waters.     

水污染预警溯源技术应用案例研究

以南方某工业园区为例,研究了水污染预警溯源技术在园区企业污水排放精准监管中的应用。该技术提出污染源“水质指纹”概念,即每种污染源都有其唯一对应的水质指纹,以此进行污染排放源的识别。利用该技术监管企业排污,能准确监测到水质异常并发出预警,快速定位到嫌疑排污企业,从而可从源头解决污染问题,有效提升水环境监管工作效率。利用水质指纹识别技术,不仅可以识别企业超标排放和暗管偷排,而且可以进行污染路径溯源。案例研究表明,这项技术在水污染监管中发挥了重要作用。     

基于变精度相容粗糙集的作战装备消耗预测研究

目的提升预测精度,提高作战装备保障部队的保障能力和保障水平,从而获得更高的军事经济效益。方法通过将变精度粗糙集和相容粗糙集相结合,研究实际保证任务的特点,以飞机装备为例,深入分析航空兵部队在不同环境、不同地区、不同战损等条件下执行任务所消耗的作战装备数量,减少不同因素之间的相互影响所产生的数据噪声。结果当在高原、沙漠地区执行战时装备保障任务时,该项作战装备消耗量大;在沿海地区执行战时装备保障任务时,该项作战装备消耗量小;在平原地区执行战时装备保障任务时,该项装备消耗量小甚至无消耗;在平原地区执行战时装备保障任务时,该项装备为高消耗。结论此方法有利于加强对战时装备预测的精准度,大大节省了装备的物流成本。

Identifying extremely large values using composite sample data

Quantifying a composite sample results in a loss of information on the values of the constituent individual samples. As a consequence of this information loss, it is impossible to identify individual samples having large values, based on composite sample measurements alone. However, under certain circumstances, it is possible to identify individual samples having large values without exhaustively measuring all individual samples. In addition to composite sample measurements, a few additional measurements on carefully selected individual samples are sufficient to identify the individual samples having large values. In this paper, we present a statistical method to recover extremely large individual sample values using composite sample measurements. An application to site characterization is used to illustrate the method.The paper has been prepared with partial support from the United States Environmental Protection Agency Number CR815273.

On ranked set sampling for multiple characteristics

We consider the selection of samples in ranked set sampling when several attributes of each sample are of interest. We describe approaches that have appeared previously in the literature and present a novel method that seeks to achieve samples that are nearly balanced with respect to the ranks of all attributes. This method is shown to result in very little loss of precision compared to problems in which only a single sample attribute is of interest.
