NEGOTIATING SCIENCE AND VALUES WITH STAKEHOLDERS IN THE ILLINOIS RIVER BASIN1

ABSTRACT: Current research in the Illinois River Basin is designed to develop and test a policy formulation protocol that will foster watershed management policy that is fully legitimated (i.e., policy that is technically effective, economically efficient, administratively implementable, politically feasible, and socially acceptable). This paper describes the results of the initial baseline impact assessment that includes physical, biological, economic, legal, and social systems as well as the development of a watershed management decision support system that is used to integrate technical information and analyses, and to facilitate policy maker and stakeholder negotiation workshops. Numerically modeled and visually simulated environmental impacts serve as the basis for developing alternative policy maker scenarios for prospective watershed management policies. These scenarios, which will be subjected to stakeholder review and negotiation, will undergo iterative review and amendment by policy makers and stakeholder groups to produce a recommended watershed management policy that satisfies all five substantive legitimation criteria. Preliminary results from the baseline social impact assessment indicate that fully legitimated policy is indeed obtainable.     

协同引擎、外部环境与流域生态补偿多主体协同行为研究——以山东省大汶河流域为例

联合多方利益相关主体实施协同行为,提升多元异质性主体之间的协同性,对优化流域生态补偿机制效能至关重要。本文基于山东省大汶河流域的979份实地调研数据,运用层次回归与有调节的中介效应检验方法,实证剖析协同引擎、外部环境对流域生态补偿多主体协同行为的驱动机理。研究表明：①协同引擎对流域生态补偿多主体协同行为具有显著正向驱动作用;②协同意愿在协同引擎与协同行为之间起中介作用,协同引擎可通过强化协同意愿间接驱动协同行为;③外部环境正向调节协同意愿向协同行为的转化,政府规制与社会规范的调节作用均通过显著性检验;④有调节的中介效应检验结果显示,高水平的政府规制及社会规范影响下,协同意愿在协同引擎与协同行为之间的中介作用得到增强,但在低水平的政府规制与社会规范影响下,协同意愿的中介作用并不显著。     

大容积无缝气瓶瓶口外螺纹修复方法及安全分析

为确定不同瓶口壁厚气瓶的外螺纹修复方式,采用数值和理论方法,通过分析外螺纹修复后气瓶的瓶体应力分布、周向转动和轴向窜动情况,对直接加工和采用热套工艺加装衬环2种瓶口外螺纹修复方式的安全性进行评价。结果表明:针对内螺纹规格为3-1/4″-8UN的气瓶,当采用直接加工方式将外螺纹修复至4-1/2″-8UN时,气瓶最大应力位于气瓶筒体上,此时气瓶可安全使用;当已修复至4-1/2″-8UN的瓶口外螺纹再次出现磨损时,直接加工的修复方式会对气瓶的安全使用造成影响,应采用热套工艺加装衬环方式修复瓶口螺纹。     

Natural radionuclide concentrations in two phosphate ores of east Algeria

Ore is considered as an important source of many elements such as the iron, phosphorus, and uranium. Concerning the natural radionuclides, their concentrations vary from an ore to other depending on the chemical composition of each site.In this work, two phosphate ores found in East of Algeria have been chosen to assess the activity concentration of natural radionuclides represented mainly by three natural radioactive series ²³⁸U, ²³⁵U and ²³²Th, and the primordial radionuclide ⁴⁰K where they were determined using ultra-low background, high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy.The measured activity concentrations of radioactive series ranged from 6.2 ± 0.4 to 733 ± 33 Bq.kg⁻¹ for the ²³²Th series, from 249 ± 16 to 547 ± 39 Bq.kg⁻¹ for the ²³⁸U series, around 24.2 ± 2.5 Bq.kg⁻¹ for the ²³⁵U series, and from 1.4 ± 0.2 to 6.7 ± 0.7 Bq.kg⁻¹ for ⁴⁰K.To assess exposure to gamma radiation in the two ores, from specific activities of ²³²Th, ⁴⁰K and ²²⁶Ra, three indexes were determined: Radium equivalent (Ra_eq), external and internal hazard indexes (H_ex and H_in), their values ranged from 831 ± 8 to 1298 ± 14 Bq.kg⁻¹ for Ra_eq, from 2.2 ± 0.4 to 3.5 ± 0.7 Bq.kg⁻¹ for H_ex, and from 4.2 ± 0.7 to 4.5 ± 0.7 Bq.kg⁻¹ for H_in.     

高层建筑典型外墙保温材料火蔓延特性数值模拟研究

有机保温材料被广泛应用于高层建筑外墙保温体系的同时,也可能增加高层建筑的火灾风险。本文通过计算机模拟,着重研究了保温材料之一的聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料(EPS)的火蔓延速率、失重速率及温度场分布等特性。研究结果发现:发生火灾后,外墙保温材料可以在很短的时间内自下而上蔓延至整个材料表面,并有表皮着火的现象。在火焰到达材料顶部之前,向上火蔓延占主导地位,材料中部区域明显燃烧脱落,火焰在材料两端上部继续燃烧,有向下加速蔓延的趋势;之后,火焰沿着材料中部内侧向下剧烈燃烧,材料呈V字型燃烧直至熄灭。在高层建筑外墙外保温材料火蔓延中,不同着火点情况下的燃烧速率随时间变化的趋势相似,且会形成两个波峰。     

Developing an anaerobic digester with external Zeolite filled column for enhancing methane production from swine manure – A feasibility study

ABSTRACT

Development of digesters with an external zeolite column facilitates the convenient removal of the zeolite with TAN, without disturbing the continuous anaerobic digestion process. A digester with an inside zeolite bed (In-Zeo) and digester without adding zeolite (No-Zeo) were employed to compare the process performance with digester with external zeolite column (EX-Zeo). The cumulative, CH₄ yields were 5% and 15% greater in the EX-Zeo, and the In-Zeo digesters respectively compared to the No-Zeo digesters. Also, the % VS reduction was 49%, 55% and 41%, respectively in the Ex-Zeo, In-Zeo and No-Zeo digesters. The results indicated that treatment with 7% zeolite during anaerobic digestion has the potential to improve biodegradation of swine manure. The addition of zeolite appeared to reduce TAN from the digestate, thereby enhancing the CH₄ yield. Zeolite could be used either internally or externally to enhance CH₄ production through anaerobic digestion of swine manure.

2019年昆明市一次臭氧污染过程特征及成因分析

针对2019年4月22—26日昆明出现的臭氧污染过程,利用昆明空气质量数据、气象观测数据、NCEP及ERA5再分析资料,综合气象条件、天气形势、外源输送条件,分析本次污染过程的特征及其成因.结果表明：(1)本次臭氧污染过程O₃浓度呈“单峰型”变化,7:00—8:00出现每日的谷值,13:00—15:00出现每日的峰值.(2)高温低湿条件利于O₃的形成,温度为24～29℃,相对湿度为15%～35%,风向为东南风和西南风时O₃浓度易超标.(3)此次污染过程中存在O₃的水平和垂直外源输送,在天气系统的作用下,近地层静稳天气导致污染物的积累和生成,并利于将云南以西区域高浓度O₃向昆明上空水平输送;平流层下层-对流层上层的垂直入侵使高层含高浓度O₃的空气向对流层及近地层输送.(4)HYSPLIT后向轨迹进一步验证,污染过程外源输送的气团来源于云南以西的中低纬度地区,污染物浓度与气团移动路径及天气系统相吻合.
