基于多元统计分析的浅层地下水受人为活动影响表征性指标筛选

本文利用描述性统计分析、主成分分析和聚类分析,研究了马鞍山地区浅层地下水中19种水化学指标数据的离散性、指标间的相关性。结果表明:TDS、Fe、Mn、F-、NO-2可作为该地区人为活动对地下水影响的表征指标。对上述五种指标的综合分析显示,马鞍山地区地下水受人为活动的影响程度可分为三个区:西北区以马鞍山主城区及郊区为代表,主城区地下水受人为活动的影响程度大,郊区地下水受人为活动的影响程度较大;东南区地下水受人为活动影响程度中等;西南区及丹阳、新市镇和薛津镇一带地下水受到人为活动影响程度小。     

电镀厂周边环境中重金属分布特征及人体健康暴露风险评价

以广州市白云区两电镀厂为研究对象,采集电镀厂车间废气和周围空气及土壤样品,分析了样品中重金属(包括Cd、Cr、Cu、Ni、Pb、Zn和类重金属As、Hg)含量分布,分别应用地累积指数(Igeo)和US EPA的RAGS风险评估模型,对土壤中重金属污染程度、空气和土壤中重金属人体健康风险进行评价.结果表明,车间废气中Hg和Pb,空气中Cr分别高于相应标准限值,土壤中Cd、Hg和Zn达到中等污染程度.土壤和空气中重金属暴露的非致癌风险指数HQ和HI均1,非致癌健康风险可忽略.土壤中As和Cr的致癌风险10-4,高于最大可接受风险水平,CRCr对TCR贡献率81%.空气中Cr和Ni的致癌风险CR和TCR在10-6~10-4,存在致癌风险可能但低于最大可接受风险水平.土壤中重金属对儿童暴露的CR明显高于成人,而空气中重金属对成人暴露的CR值明显较高.相关分析表明土壤中重金属与废气中重金属含量密切相关,主成分分析表明土壤中达到中等污染的重金属来源可能不同于其它重金属.     

火灾中人员的行为及其模拟计算方法的研究

在综合分析国内外人员疏散模型和模拟软件发展现状的基础上,研究人员在火灾中的行为理论、计算机模型、模拟原理等,并介绍了目前国际上研究人员行为方面综合功能较强的Building EXODUS软件的原理和特点,最后以具体实例说明了Building EXODUS软件在人群疏散模拟分析中的具体应用.研究表明,1)在不考虑其他因素的影响下,疏散总时间与人数成正比;2)在火灾等紧急情况下,当某个出口不能通行时,可能会使大量人员在另一个出口处造成"瓶颈"现象,因此,增加备用安全出口很重要;3)疏散时间实际上是一随机变量,会因各种情况的变化而不同,如在很大程度上受人员特性(如年龄等因素)的影响,传统计算方法一般会低估疏散时间而不能作为建筑疏散设计的依据;4)利用计算机模拟软件可以对火灾中各种可能发生的情况进行评价,评价结果比传统方法更科学、可信.火灾中人员行为的研究需要从心理学和社会学角度建立人群中个人行为与社会行为的理论框架,而疏散模拟是一个由多个因素组成的复杂系统,大量人群环境的模拟需要涉及人与人、人与环境间的相互作用.

Recreational Portage Trails as Corridors Facilitating Non-Native Plant Invasions of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (U.S.A.)

Abstract:  Wilderness areas are protected and valued in part for recreation; recreational use, however, can negatively impact these areas. In particular, recreational use can facilitate transport of non-native propagules and create open sites for establishment of non-native species. We examined the role of recreational portage trails in the introduction and establishment of non-native plants into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness of northern Minnesota (U.S.A.). On 20 portages, we sampled non-native plant richness and cover at four distances (0, 10, 25, and 50 m) from trails. Non-native richness and cover were not related to distance from wilderness entry point. Non-native richness and cover were, however, negatively related to distance from trails. All six non-native species we observed were either directly on or within 1 m of trails. These results suggest that recreational trails act as corridors facilitating invasions of non-native plants into wilderness areas. It remains unclear, however, whether these effects are caused by dispersal of propagules, creation of bare ground, or changes in the native plant community.

Complex cardiac defect with hypoplastic right ventricle in a fetus with valproate exposure

We describe a fetus with a hypoplastic right ventricle detected by prenatal ultrasound examination. A possible causal relationship with prenatal valproate exposure is discussed. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Patterns of Citations of Open Access and Non‐Open Access Conservation Biology Journal Papers and Book Chapters

Abstract: Open access (OA) publishing, whereby authors, their institutions, or their granting bodies pay or provide a repository through which peer‐reviewed work is available online for free, is championed as a model to increase the number of citations per paper and disseminate results widely, especially to researchers in developing countries. We compared the number of citations of OA and non‐OA papers in six journals and four books published since 2000 to test whether OA increases number of citations overall and increases citations made by authors in developing countries. After controlling for type of paper (e.g., review or research paper), length of paper, authors’ citation profiles, number of authors per paper, and whether the author or the publisher released the paper in OA, OA had no statistically significant influence on the overall number of citations per journal paper. Journal papers were cited more frequently if the authors had published highly cited papers previously, were members of large teams of authors, or published relatively long papers, but papers were not cited more frequently if they were published in an OA source. Nevertheless, author‐archived OA book chapters accrued up to eight times more citations than chapters in the same book that were not available through OA, perhaps because there is no online abstracting service for book chapters. There was also little evidence that journal papers or book chapters published in OA received more citations from authors in developing countries relative to those journal papers or book chapters not published in OA. For scholarly publications in conservation biology, only book chapters had an OA citation advantage, and OA did not increase the number of citations papers or chapters received from authors in developing countries.
