Asymptotics in adaptive cluster sampling

In this article we consider asymptotic properties of the Horvitz-Thompson and Hansen-Hurwitz types of estimators under the adaptive cluster sampling variants obtained by selecting the initial sample by simple random sampling without replacement and by unequal probability sampling with replacement. We develop an asymptotic framework, which basically assumes that the number of units in the initial sample, as well as the number of units and networks in the population tend to infinity, but that the network sizes are bounded. Using this framework we prove that under each of the two variants of adaptive sampling above mentioned, both the Horvitz-Thompson and Hansen-Hurwitz types of estimators are design-consistent and asymptotically normally distributed. In addition we show that the ordinary estimators of their variances are also design-consistent estimators.     

The genetic architecture of pheromone production between populations distant from the hybrid zone of the pine engraver, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Ips pini</Emphasis>

Summary. Across North America, populations of the pine engraver, Ips pini, differ in their expressed ratios of the two enantiomers of ipsdienol, the main component of its aggregation pheromone. We confirm previous studies, showing that the percentage of (+)-ipsdienol ranged from approximately 40 to 70% for New York (NY) males and less then 5% for California (CA) males. We performed line crosses including the F1, F2, and backcross generations between these populations. These line crosses showed that most F1 hybrids produced an intermediate enantiomeric blend of ipsdienol that was closer to the CA blend, with a frequency distribution peak near 15% (+)-ipsdienol. There was also strong segregation to either parental type in the F2 and backcross generations, but not in a pattern that could be clearly described by a single autosomal locus. There was also an X-linked effect that caused some individuals in the F1 to have phenotypes more characteristic of NY populations. Generation means analysis confirms this X-linked effect, and also suggests a complicated autosomal dominance by dominance epistatic interaction. Despite the appearance of segregation, these results suggest a more complicated system of pheromone blend control than the single major gene previously found between divergent lines for high and low (+)-ipsdienol blends from the hybrid zone in British Columbia.      

培育土壤中硫化细菌和硫酸盐还原细菌的消长特征初探

通过不同含水量下潮土和褐土的培育试验,测定了土壤中硫化细菌和硫酸盐还原细菌的消长变化及水溶性硫、有机硫和盐酸挥发性硫的含量。结果表明,土壤中硫化细菌含量随土壤含水量的增加而有增大趋势,其消长变化与有机硫和盐酸挥发性硫的含量变化有关,硫酸盐还原菌含量亦随土壤含水量的增加趋于增大,潮土中硫酸盐还原菌的消长与水溶性硫含量呈显著相关,硫化细菌和硫酸盐还原细菌的消长曲线表明,这两类硫细菌的消长呈相反的变化趋势。     

电源频率对大气压氦气射流等离子体放电特性的影响

为探究大气压射流等离子体放电特性,利用同轴双环电极结构等离子体射流装置,研究电源频率、外加电压对氦气射流放电电流、起始电压、消耗功率、放电平均功率、射流长度等参数的影响规律。结果表明:放电图像在f=7.88,8.40,8.90 kHz电源频率下,随着电压增加,等离子体射流长度先增长后稳定;电压-电流关系符合辉光放电特征;同一电源频率下,随外加电压升高,放电电流脉冲个数增多、幅值增大、脉冲曲线产生畸变,装置消耗功率和放电功率所受影响不大。     

燃煤锅炉可吸入颗粒物排放规律研究

应用基于空气动力学直径分级的低压撞击器(LPI)对4台燃煤锅炉除尘器前后飞灰颗粒进行13级采样,研究了不同除尘器入口和出口PM10的颗粒粒径排放规律及元素分布特性.结果表明,除尘器前后PM10质量粒径均呈双峰分布,其峰值分别在0.1 μm和2.36～3.95 μm附近.无论是文丘里水膜除尘器还是静电除尘器,粒径为0.1～1 μm左右的颗粒的除尘效率最低,最低效率值在50%～65%左右.除尘器对不同粒径颗粒的收集效率差别很大,对粒径为10 μm左右颗粒的收集效率为96%左右,而对亚微米颗粒的收集效率在62%-83%之间.PM10中各级氧化物组成表明较易气化元素,如s和Na等在小粒径颗粒上有明显富集趋势,而不易气化元素Si和Al等在大粒径颗粒上富集;这说明小粒径颗粒可能为气化-凝结机理形成,而比较粗的颗粒可能是通过煤焦和矿物质的破碎以及内部矿物质的聚合形成.

Rat cardiomyocyte H9c2(2-1)-based sulforhodamine B assay as a promising in vitro method to assess the biological component of effluent toxicity

The treatment of wastewaters is crucial to maintain the ecological status of receiving waters, and thereby guarantee the protection of aquatic life and human health. Wastewater quality evaluation is conventionally based on physicochemical parameters, but increasing attention has been paid to integrate physicochemical and biological data. Nevertheless, the regulatory use of fish in biological testing methods has been subject to various ethical and cost concerns, and in vitro cell-based assays have thus become an important topic of interest. Hence, the present study intends: (a) to evaluate the efficiency of two different sample pre-concentration techniques (lyophilisation and solid phase extraction) to assess the toxicity of municipal effluents on rat cardiomyoblast H9c2(2-1) cells, and (b) maximizing the use of the effluent sample collected, to estimate the environmental condition of the receiving environment. The gathered results demonstrate that the H9c2(2-1) sulforhodamine B-based assay is an appropriate in vitro method to assess biological effluent toxicity, and the best results were attained by lyophilising the sample as pre-treatment. Due to its response, the H9c2(2-1) cell line might be a possible alternative in vitro model for fish lethal testing to assess the toxicity of municipal effluents. The physicochemical status of the sample suggests a high potential for eutrophication, and iron exceeded the permissible level for wastewater discharge, possibly due to the addition of ferric chloride for wastewater treatment. In general, the levels of carbamazepine and sulfamethoxazole are higher than those reported for other countries, and both surpassed the aquatic protective values for long-term exposure.

工程橡胶压缩实验和缓冲特性分析

目的研究天然橡胶、丁基橡胶和发泡橡胶等典型工程橡胶的压缩变形行为和缓冲特性。方法首先总结橡胶材料特性和工程案例,进行三类橡胶的准静态和动态压缩试验,获取材料的应力-应变关系和压缩特性。并以此为基础,给出橡胶缓冲特性表征方法,进而对比和定量分析不同橡胶的缓冲特性。结果压缩实验结果显示,不同橡胶材料的压缩变形行为基本一致。缓冲特性分析表明,在相同应变水平下,实心橡胶的缓冲吸能能力明显强于发泡橡胶,而在相同应力水平下,橡胶材料的缓冲吸能能力则与材料实际所处受力区域有关。因此,在工程中选取橡胶缓冲材料时,应当考虑其所处的应力环境。结论根据不同橡胶材料的缓冲规律给出其对应的冲击防护适用场景,以此形成判据,从而为橡胶防护结构材料的选择提供参考。
