一种紫外-可见光谱检测水质COD预测模型优化方法

针对紫外-可见光谱法检测水质COD预测模型的精度低和收敛速度慢等问题,研究了一种基于粒子群算法联合最小二乘支持向量机(PSO_LSSVM)的水质检测COD预测模型优化方法,并引入主元分析(PCA)算法对模型输入光谱数据进行降维预处理,借以提高模型的收敛速度.结果表明,利用粒子群(PSO)算法收敛速度快和全局优化能力,优化了最小二乘支持向量机(LSSVM)模型的惩罚因子和核函数参数,避免了人为选择参数的盲目性,克服了传统LSSVM预测模型的精度较低、稳健性较差等缺点.通过以收敛时间、预测平均相对误差(MRE)和均方根误差(RMSE)为评价标准进行评估,输入样本经过PCA降维预处理的PSO_LSSVM模型的预测能力和输入样本未经过降维预处理的LSSVM模型与PSO_LSSVM模型进行了比较分析,输入样本经过PCA降维预处理的PSO_LSSVM模型预测效果最优,且此算法使用C语言实现,易于移植,这为紫外-可见光谱水质COD在线、实时性检测奠定了基础.     

Atmospheric and kinetic studies of OH and HO2 by the FAGE technique

A new FAGE setup has recently been built at the University of Lille, France. It permits the quantification of OH and HO₂ in the atmosphere with a detection limit of 3×10⁵ molecules/(cm³·min) for OH and 1×10⁶ molecules/(cm⁵·min) for HO₂. Its coupling to a photolysis cell enables the measurement of the total reactivity of the hydroxyl radical in ambient air and kinetic studies in laboratory. Two configurations have been considered: one with the photolysis cell at 90° to the FAGE nozzle, the other on line with the FAGE nozzle. The two configurations have been tested and validated by measuring the well known rate constants of OH with CH₄, C₃H₈ and CO. The advantages and drawbacks of each configuration have been evaluated. The “on line” configuration limits losses and permits measurements over a larger reactivity range but is affected by OH formation from the laser beam striking the FAGE nozzle, thus limiting the ability to carry out energy dependence studies which can, in contrast, be successfully performed in the 90° configuration.     

硝普钠对镧胁迫下黑麦草幼苗光合特性及矿质元素吸收的影响

为了探讨一氧化氮(NO)对镧(La)胁迫下牧草生理响应的调节作用,采用水培方法,研究了外源NO供体硝普钠(SNP)对300μmol·L-1LaCl3胁迫下黑麦草幼苗光合特性及矿质元素吸收的影响.结果表明,在La胁迫下,喷施50μmol·L-1SNP显著提高了黑麦草根尖和叶片中NO的含量,叶片光合色素含量、净光合速率(Pn)、气孔导度(Gs)、蒸腾速率(Tr)、气孔限制值(Ls)、PSⅡ最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)、实际光化学效率(ΦPSⅡ)、光化学猝灭(qP)和地上部K、Ca、Mg、Cu、Fe、Zn、Mn及根系K、Ca、Mg、P、Zn、Fe含量显著提高;叶片胞间CO2浓度(Ci)、非光化学猝灭(NPQ)及地上部La、P和根系Mn含量明显降低.表明NO可通过改善叶片光合活性,维持矿质元素平衡,从而缓解La胁迫对黑麦草光合作用的抑制.     

三峡库区典型农业小流域土壤溶解性有机质的紫外-可见及荧光特征

以三峡库区典型农业小流域土壤溶解性有机质(DOM)为研究对象,利用紫外-可见和荧光光谱,分析和讨论了不同土地利用类型(包括林地、田地、菜地和民用地)对土壤DOM地化特征的影响.结果表明,不同土地利用条件下DOM性质差异明显,以林地DOM的芳香性程度较高,腐殖化特征最强,其次为田地;尽管居民用地和菜地溶解性有机碳(DOC)含量高(均值分别为0.81 g·kg-1和0.89 g·kg-1),但是芳香化程度低,DOM中非生色组分对高DOC含量的贡献明显.所有样本荧光指数(FI)介于自生源特征(FI=1.9)和陆源特征(FI=1.4)之间,自生源(类蛋白组分)和异生源(类腐殖组分)对DOM均有贡献.大部分样本r(T/C)都大于2.0,说明该农业小流域土壤DOM受外来因素尤其是人类活动影响较大,尤以菜地为代表.另外,不同特征光谱参数对不同土地利用条件下DOM结构和性质差异性的灵敏程度不同,光谱斜率比值(SR)和腐殖化指数(HIX)不能反映DOM地化特征的差异性,因此单一光谱指标并不能全面提供DOM的特征信息,建议两种光谱分析方法联用.     

Metabolism of n-C10:0 and n-C11:0 fatty acids by Trichoderma koningii,Penicillium janthinellum and their mixed culture: I. Biomass and CO2 production,and allocation of intracellular lipids

The capacity of two soil fungi, Trichoderma koningii and Penicillium janthinellum, to oxidize n-C_10:0 and n-C_11:0 fatty acids to CO₂ and store intracellular lipids during growth is unknown. This article reports for the first time the metabolism of decanoic acid (DA, C_10:0), undecanoic acid (UDA, n-C_11:0), a mixture of the acids (UDA+DA) and a mixture of UDA+ potato dextrose broth (PDB) by T. koningii and P. janthinellum and their mixed culture. A control PDB complex substrate was used as a substrate control treatment. The fungal cultures were assayed for their capacity to: (1) oxidize n-C_10:0 and n-C_11:0 fatty acids to CO₂ and (2) store lipids intracellularly during growth. On all four fatty acid substrates, the mixed T. koningii and P. janthinellum culture produced more biomass and CO₂ than the individual fungal cultures. Per 150 mL culture, the mixed species culture grown on UDA+PDB and on PDB alone produced the most biomass (7,567 mg and 11,425 mg, respectively). When grown in DA, the mixed species culture produced the least amount of biomass (6,400 mg), a quantity that was lower than those obtained in UDA (7,550 mg) or UDA+DA (7,270 mg). Amounts of CO₂ produced ranged from 210 mg under DA to 618 mg under PDB, and these amounts were highly correlated with biomass (r² = 0.99). Fluorescence microscopy of stained lipids in the mixed fungal cell cultures growing during the exponential phase demonstrated larger fungal cells and higher accumulation of lipids in membranes and storage bodies than those observed during the lag and stationary phases. T. koningii and P. janthinellum grown on n-C_10:0 and n-C_11:0 fatty acids produced lower amounts of biomass and CO₂, but stored higher amounts of intracellular lipids, than when grown on PDB alone.     

EDS analysis of Portland ash cement degradation in an aggressive environment

The behaviour of Portland cement with and without 30% fly ash addition in aggressive solutions was studied. This paper considers the sulphate corrosion of the hardened cement paste. The cement paste test samples were prepared, cured in water for 21 day and then exposed to the influence of aggressive environment (10% (NH₄SO₄ solution). The measurements of several properties were carried out and the results were analyzed.

The image of the surface composition and morphology of the cement paste test samples was made by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Concentration gradient of sulphate ions in cement paste depth was obtained by energy‐dispersive analysis (EDS).     

Using optical remote sensing techniques to track the development of ozone-induced stress

In this paper, a literature review about optical remote sensing (RS) of O₃ stress is presented. Studies on O₃-induced effects on vegetation reflectance have been conducted since late ‘70s based on the analysis of optical RS data. Literature review reveals that traditional RS techniques were able to detect changes in leaf and canopy reflectance related to O₃-induced stress when visible symptoms already occurred. Only recently, advanced RS techniques using hyperspectral sensors, demonstrated the feasibility of detecting the stress in its early phase by monitoring excess energy dissipation pathways such as chlorophyll fluorescence and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ). Steady-state fluorescence (Fs), measured by exploiting the Fraunhofer line depth principle and NPQ related xanthophyll-cycle, estimated through the photochemical reflectance index (PRI) responded to O₃ fumigation before visible symptoms occurred. This opens up new possibilities for the early detection of vegetation O₃ stress by means of hyperspectral RS.     

Effect of natural organic matter and green microalga on carboxyl-polyethylene glycol coated CdSe/ZnS quantum dots stability and transformations under freshwater conditions

The influence of pH, ionic strength, presence of humic or alginic acids, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), or freshwater microalga Chlorella kesslerii on the stability and transformation of carboxyl-PEG-CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) in terms of number, hydrodynamic size and fluorescence of individual particles, was studied by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. Obtained results demonstrated that QDs form stable dispersions at nanomolar concentrations under conditions typical for freshwaters. The presence of 5 or 15 mg C L⁻¹ of humic acid or 50 mg C L⁻¹ EPS did not significantly affect these parameters. In contrast, 5 or 50 mg C L⁻¹ alginate at ionic strength of 10 mM shifted the hydrodynamic radius toward larger values, suggesting a possible capture of QDs by the linear alginate chains. The addition of microalga to the QD dispersions resulted in a slight reduction of the number of QDs and a significant decline in the fluorescence of individual QDs.

利用三维荧光等高线图以及其所确定的荧光峰荧光强度随溶液化学条件的变化,研究不同来源溶解态腐殖酸与Cu²⁺作用的荧光特性。研究结果表明：溶解态天然腐殖酸中主要存在二类发射荧光的有机物官能团能与Cu²⁺发生络合作用。位于激发波长和发射波长分别为271～281 nm和335～351 nm的荧光峰1所代表的有机物官能团是与Cu²⁺发生络合配位的主要点位;pH值为4～6时,其络合受pH值影响较显著;而受溶液离子强度影响较小。位于激发波长和发射波长分别为223～246 nm和335～371 nm的荧光峰2所代表的有机物官能团与Cu²⁺的络合作用受溶液pH值影响较小,受溶液离子强度影响较显著。溶解态商品腐殖酸荧光峰1′所代表的有机物官能团与Cu²⁺的络合作用荧光特性,与天然腐殖酸荧光峰1所代表的有机物官能团和Cu²⁺络合作用荧光特性相似,在pH值为3～7时,其络合受pH值影响较显著。     

Short term recovery of periphyton photosynthesis after pulse exposition to the photosystem II inhibitors atrazine and isoproturon

Aquatic organisms are exposed to fluctuating concentrations of herbicides which contaminate rivers following their use for agricultural or domestic purposes. The development of sensitive bioanalytical tests enabling us not only to detect the effects of those pollutants but to take into account this pattern of exposure should improve the ecological relevance of river toxicity assessment. In this respect, the use of chlorophyll fluorescence measurements is a convenient way to probe the effect of photosystem II (PSII) inhibitors on primary producers. This study was devoted to validate the combined use of two fluorescence parameters, the effective and the optimal quantum yields of PSII photochemistry (Φ_PSII and F_v/F_m), as reliable biomarkers of initial isoproturon (IPU) or atrazine (ATZ) toxicity to natural periphyton in a pulse exposition scenario. Φ_PSII and F_v/F_m were regularly estimated during a 7 h-exposure to each pollutant (0-100 μM) and also later after being transferred in herbicide-free water (up to 36 h). Our results showed that IPU was more toxic than ATZ, but with effects reversible within 12 h. Moreover, these two similarly acting herbicides (i.e. same target site) presented contrasted short term recovery patterns, regarding the previous exposure duration.
