重庆近48年来高温天气气候特征及其环流形势

利用重庆23个气象观测站1960~2007年逐日最高气温观测资料,NCEP/NCAR再分析数据集中的高度场格点资料,运用EOF、REOF等方法,探讨重庆高温日数的空间分布特征,并对多高温天气的2006年和少高温天气年7~8月的环流特征进行了分析。结果表明：重庆高温天气主要出现在7~8月份,高温日数具有显著的年代际和区域性差异,20世纪70年代最多,80年代最少,沿长江、乌江为高温多发带。一致性异常分布是重庆高温日数的最主要空间模态;高温日数的异常空间分布可分为以下3个关键区：重庆中西部、重庆东南部、重庆东北部。乌拉尔山至鄂霍次克海地区阻塞高压偏弱,东亚大槽偏浅;100 hPa 高空南亚高压偏东,500 hPa 高空副高偏北偏西,形成一种上高下高的叠加形势是重庆7~8月出现多高温天气的主要原因。     

转子-轴承-干气密封系统振动响应及结构优化

目的为了提高干气密封系统在运行工况下的稳定性,对密封螺旋槽槽型参数进行优化。方法根据转子-轴承-干气密封系统轴向振动动力学模型,建立双自由度振动方程。在特定的工况下,通过Maple软件多次拟合求解气膜非线性方程,得到气膜轴向刚度和阻尼。运用MATLAB软件中的龙格-库塔法对三阶的非线性振动方程数值求解,绘制不同螺旋角度下的时间历程图和相图,分析对比不同螺旋角度下静环的振动位移。结果从螺旋角度与静环振动位移的关系得出,当α=74.53°时,静环振动位移最小,其最大振幅为7μm,最大振速为7μm/s;当α=73.78°时,静环振动位移最大,其最大振幅为16.5μm,最大振速为17μm/s。改变螺旋角度可以调节和减小静环的振幅。结论在考虑叶轮转子的气动力和轴承油膜力的干气密封系统下,螺旋角度的增加能够提高系统运行的稳定性,增加螺旋角度(0.5°~0.6°)使得动静环的追随性最佳,对干气密封结构的设计提出了指导。     

浮顶储罐二次密封油气空间放电分析

为避免浮顶储罐在遭受雷击时由于导电片设施在二次密封油气空间中放电引起密封圈火灾,在实验室建立了2 m直径油罐模型,开展导电片火花放电起始电流试验、导电片与罐壁形成空气间隙击穿放电初始电压试验,系统研究导电片在二次密封油气空间中的放电危险性.试验结果表明:导电片靠自身弹性与罐壁贴合时,雷电流大约在400 A时导电片开始产生点燃性火花放电;如导电片与罐壁贴合不良形成空气间隙,雷击情况下雷电流泄放瞬时浮顶与罐壁之间的电位差足以使一定大小的间隙击穿放电,当间隙大小为20～30 mm时,放电电压为26～40 kV.因此,储罐在遭受雷击时,导电片火花放电现象不可避免.结合储罐的实际运行情况,提出取消二次密封导电片、液下刮蜡器与浮顶进行可靠电气连接的改进措施,避免导电片在二次密封油气空间中放电发生,大大降低浮顶储罐雷击火灾事故.     

Assessment Tools for Urban Catchments: Developing Biological Indicators Based on Benthic Macroinvertebrates1

Abstract: Biological indicators, particularly benthic macroinvertebrates, are widely used and effective measures of the impact of urbanization on stream ecosystems. A multimetric biological index of urbanization was developed using a large benthic macroinvertebrate dataset (n = 1,835) from the Baltimore, Maryland, metropolitan area and then validated with datasets from Cleveland, Ohio (n = 79); San Jose, California (n = 85); and a different subset of the Baltimore data (n = 85). The biological metrics used to develop the multimetric index were selected using several criteria and were required to represent ecological attributes of macroinvertebrate assemblages including taxonomic composition and richness (number of taxa in the insect orders of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera), functional feeding group (number of taxa designated as filterers), and habit (percent of individuals which cling to the substrate). Quantile regression was used to select metrics and characterize the relationship between the final biological index and an urban gradient (composed of population density, road density, and urban land use). Although more complex biological indices exist, this simplified multimetric index showed a consistent relationship between biological indicators and urban conditions (as measured by quantile regression) in three climatic regions of the United States and can serve as an assessment tool for environmental managers to prioritize urban stream sites for restoration and protection.     

爆炸载荷作用下矿井密闭墙损伤评估

为探究煤矿井下常见的典型砖墙密闭墙抗爆性能,采用ANSYS软件建立数值模型,研究爆炸冲击作用下密闭墙的损伤情况。首先,分析瓦斯爆炸的特点和其导致的冲击波压力在巷道内传播特性,预测冲击波的压力强度幅值;然后,建立密闭墙数值模型,设计并完成多种冲量及压力加载方式组合条件下对墙体的冲击模拟数值试验;最后,通过自定义的损伤变量及试验结果,绘制密闭墙的P-I曲线损伤图。结果表明:不同冲击组合方式下密闭墙受到的损伤状态差别较大,因现实中可能发生的瓦斯爆炸特征较为复杂,可以利用给出的密闭墙损伤临界线方程及P-I曲线损伤图,快速评估在其他爆炸冲击条件下墙体损伤状态。     

The impact of recreational boat traffic on Marbled Murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus)

This study evaluated the impact of small boat traffic on reaction distances of Marbled Murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus), in the marine waters of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, British Columbia, Canada. Observers on moving boats recorded the minimum distance the boat came to murrelets on the water, and any disturbance reaction (fly, dive, no reaction). Out of the 7500 interactions 11.7% flew, 30.8% dove and 58.1% exhibited no flushing reaction. Using a product-limit analysis, we developed curves for the proportion of Marbled Murrelets flushing (dive or flight) as a function of reaction distance. Overall, the majority of Marbled Murrelets waited until boats were within 40 m before reacting, with 25% of the population reacting at 29.2m. A stepwise Cox regression indicated that age, boat speed, and boat density (loaded in that order), significantly affected flushing response. More juveniles flushed than adults (70.1 versus 51.7%), but at closer distances. Faster boats caused a greater proportion of birds to flush, and at further distances (25% of birds flushed at 40 m at speeds > 29 kph versus 28m at speeds <12kph). A stepwise logistic regression on diving and flight responses indicated that birds tended to fly completely out of feeding areas at the approach of boats travelling >28.8 kph and later in the season (July and August). Other secondary variables included; boat density and time of day. Discussion focused on possible management actions such as the application of speed limits, set back distances, and exclusion of boat traffic to protect Marbled Murrelets.     

Nontraditional settlement patterns and typhoon hazard on contemporary Majuro atoll,Republic of the Marshall Islands

Low-lying islands and atolls are particularly prone to storm surges created by tropical depressions and typhoons. This paper presents a case study of traditional and contemporary settlement patterns of Majuro, the capital of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and discusses its vulnerability to such storm surges. The paper shows that the application of traditional knowledge extends to the realm of urban planning and that, in fact, ignoring this traditional knowledge as expressed in pre-World War II settlement patterns, exposes urban development to increased flood hazards, a risk which may exact a price too high in life and property.
