闽江下游水环境问题浅析

分析闽江下游的水环境问题是：南、北港分流比变化造成北港冲刷，南港淤积，并带来严重后果；河道采砂过量使河床下切严重，破坏水工建筑物；水质存在一些问题，影响生活及工业用水；湿地遭到破坏，导致湿地动植物数量与种类大量减少。针对这些问题，提出解决闽江下游水环境问题需要设计南、北港水量科学合理分配方案；设计合理的河道采沙方案；加强污水管理体制；对闽江河口湿地分区保护和管理；加强河道的监测工作；加强公众环境保护教育。要使专家研究、政府管理和提高公众环保意识相结合。     

塔里木河下游应急输水前后胡杨年轮生长差异

1972年塔里木河下游大西海子水库建成,下游365km河道彻底断流。为拯救沿河植被,2000年5月启动了塔里木河下游应急输水工程,迄今已经完成了7次应急输水。文章通过对塔里木河中游英巴扎和下游输水河畔英苏、喀尔达依、阿拉干断面胡杨(Populus euphratica)一级枝年轮取样调查,运用统计方法比较不同离河距离输水前后胡杨生长量差异的大小,分析了下游应急输水河畔胡杨种群对输水的响应。结果表明:1)英苏断面和喀尔达依断面在离河0~1000m输水前后胡杨生长量差异极显著。阿拉干断面在离河0~300m输水前后胡杨生长量差异极显著,离河300~700m生长量差异显著,700~1000m生长量差异不显著。由输水前后胡杨年轮生长量均值差可得,同一断面不同离河距胡杨年均生长量随离河距增大而降低。2)输水后下游3个调查断面在离河0~300m胡杨生长量增长由大到小顺序为:喀尔达依>英苏>阿拉干;离河300~700m由大到小顺序为:喀尔达依>阿拉干>英苏。3)以中游胡杨同年生长量作为参照对下游胡杨生长量进行相关比较的结果表明:应急输水前输水河畔各离河距离胡杨生长量均小于中游参照河段的生长量。应急输水后,输水河畔离河0~300m生长量已超过中游的生长量;离河300~700m输水河畔的生长量接近中游生长量;离河700~1000m生长量小于中游参照河段生长量,应急输水明显地促进了胡杨生长。     

Structural equation modelling of lower back pain due to whole-body vibration exposure in the construction industry

Whole-body vibration (WBV) exposure is a health hazard among workers, causing lower back pain (LBP) in the construction industry. This study examines key factors affecting LBP due to WBV exposure using exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modelling. The results confirm five key factors (equipment, job related, organizational, personal, social context) with their 17 associated items. The organizational factor is found the most important, as it influences the other four factors. The results also show that appropriate seat type, specific training programme, job rotation, workers’ satisfaction and workers’ physical condition are crucial in reducing LBP due to WBV exposure. Moreover, provision of new machines without proper training and good working condition might not help reduce LBP due to WBV exposure. The results help the construction companies to better understand key factors affecting LBP due to WBV exposure, and to plan for a better health improvement programme.

Can new passenger cars reduce pedestrian lower extremity injury? A review of geometrical changes of front-end design before and after regulatory efforts

Objective: Pedestrian lower extremity represents the most frequently injured body region in car-to-pedestrian accidents. The European Directive concerning pedestrian safety was established in 2003 for evaluating pedestrian protection performance of car models. However, design changes have not been quantified since then. The goal of this study was to investigate front-end profiles of representative passenger car models and the potential influence on pedestrian lower extremity injury risk.

Methods: The front-end styling of sedans and sport utility vehicles (SUV) released from 2008 to 2011 was characterized by the geometrical parameters related to pedestrian safety and compared to representative car models before 2003. The influence of geometrical design change on the resultant risk of injury to pedestrian lower extremity—that is, knee ligament rupture and long bone fracture—was estimated by a previously developed assessment tool assuming identical structural stiffness. Based on response surface generated from simulation results of a human body model (HBM), the tool provided kinematic and kinetic responses of pedestrian lower extremity resulted from a given car's front-end design.

Results: Newer passenger cars exhibited a “flatter” front-end design. The median value of the sedan models provided 87.5 mm less bottom depth, and the SUV models exhibited 94.7 mm less bottom depth. In the lateral impact configuration similar to that in the regulatory test methods, these geometrical changes tend to reduce the injury risk of human knee ligament rupture by 36.6 and 39.6% based on computational approximation. The geometrical changes did not significantly influence the long bone fracture risk.

Conclusions: The present study reviewed the geometrical changes in car front-ends along with regulatory concerns regarding pedestrian safety. A preliminary quantitative benefit of the lower extremity injury reduction was estimated based on these geometrical features. Further investigation is recommended on the structural changes and inclusion of more accident scenarios.     

Effect of posture on forces and moments measured in a Hybrid III ATD lower leg

Objective: Anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs) are used to assess real injury risk to occupants of vehicles during injurious events. In the lower leg, values from load cells are compared to injury criteria developed in cadaveric studies. These criteria are typically developed with the leg in a neutral posture, whereas the ATD may assume a wide range of postures during safety evaluation tests. The degree to which the initial posture of an ATD has an effect on the measured forces and moments in the lower leg is unknown.

Methods: A Hybrid III ATD lower leg was impacted in a range of postures under conditions representing a crash test, and peak axial force and adjusted tibia index injury measures were evaluated. Ankle posture was varied in 5° increments using a custom-made footplate, and dorsi/plantarflexion (20° DF to 20° PF) and in/eversion (20° IV to 5° EV) were evaluated. Tibia angle was also varied (representing knee flexion/extension) by ±10° from neutral.

Results: Peak axial force was not affected by ankle flexion or tibia angulation. Adjusted tibia index was lowest for plantarflexion, as well as for tibia angles representative of knee extension. Both peak axial force and adjusted tibia index were lowest for postures of great inversion and were highest in neutral or near-neutral postures.

Conclusions: The range of postures tested herein spanned published injury criteria and thus would have made the difference between pass and fail in a safety evaluation. In/eversion had the largest influence on injury metrics, likely due to the change in axial stiffness and altered impact durations in these postures. Results suggest increased injury risk at neutral or near-neutral postures, whereas previous cadaveric studies have suggested that in/eversion does not influence injury risk. It is unclear whether the ATD appropriately represents the natural lower leg for impacts in out-of-position testing. Great care must be taken when initially positioning ATDs for safety evaluations, because small perturbations in posture were shown herein to have large effects on the measured injury risk using this tool.

建立了闽江下游北港河段二维水动力、水质耦合模型,对不同排污口污染带特征进行了分析比较,结果表明：排污口的布置对北港水质有很大影响,在排放相同浓度相同流量的污染物时,各排污口污染带长度和宽度完全不同。各排污口污染带长度明显大于宽度,彬德闸、江泗闸产生的污染带比较短,五孔闸、九孔闸污染带很长,在排放流量为40m^3／s,排放浓度为15mg/L时,在彬德闸或江泗闸排放对东南水厂水质影响较小,在五孔闸或九孔闸排放对东南水厂造成很大的影响。     

硬脂酸粉尘爆炸特性试验研究

为研究硬脂酸粉尘的爆炸特性,采用20 L球型爆炸仪对4个粒径范围的硬脂酸粉尘进行粉尘爆炸试验研究。结果表明:一定浓度范围内增大粉尘浓度能够提升硬脂酸粉尘的爆炸能量和燃烧速率。增大粉尘浓度,爆炸猛烈度先增强后减弱;减小粉尘粒径,能增强爆炸猛烈度和敏感度。粒径小于58 μm粉尘的爆炸猛烈度和敏感度最大,浓度500 g/m3时,该粉尘有最大爆炸压力1.12 MPa和最大升压速率142.00 MPa/s。

长江中下游干流港群空间结构的演化特征(1985～1997年)

以长江中下游干流沿岸为研究区域,探讨了１９８５年～１９９７年本区域港群的空间结构演化特征。统计分析表明,集中是和东或下注重港群空间结构演化的整体趋势,但同时伴随着较大的波动。整个港各和中下游各省地方港群赫佛因德指数的高低及其变化趋势说明中下游港群的集中状态处在低水平,而且这种低产集中和地方港群比较明显的分散趋势同时并存。此外,各地各不同水平的赫佛因德指数也表明了它们在集中程度上的明显差异。通过进一
