带裂缝钢筋混凝土梁损伤诊断的振动方法

建立了健康的和带有理想裂缝的钢筋混凝土梁的分离式有限元模型,推导了其中四节点矩形粘结单元的刚度矩阵。利用该模型可以计算它们的振动特性参数,研究其局部损伤与振动特性参数的关系。有限元模型数值仿真计算结果与实际测试结果相吻合。数值仿真计算及实际测试结果均表明:固有频率是进行钢筋混凝土梁裂缝类损伤定性辨识的重要指标;曲率模态振型和应变模态振型是钢筋混凝土梁裂缝类局部损伤的敏感参数,利用它们的模态绝对残差向量可以实现实梁裂缝类损伤的准确定位识别;曲率模态振型和应变模态振型的绝对残差向量范数,与裂缝类损伤的严重程度具有单调性关系,可以基于其进行裂缝类损伤的定量辨识。

多壁碳纳米管对小鼠肺脏和肝脏组织SOD活力和GSH含量的影响

为了研究多壁碳纳米管(MWCNTs)对小鼠肺脏和肝脏组织抗氧化系统的影响,将20只雄性昆明小鼠随机分成4组,采用腹腔注射进行一次性染毒,其中3个染毒组分别腹腔注入0.1、0.2、0.4mg·mL-1的多壁碳纳米管(粒径20～40nm)悬液1mL,对照组注入等体积生理盐水,染毒5d后测定肺脏和肝脏组织匀浆中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活力、还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量.结果表明,随着多壁碳纳米管染毒浓度的升高,小鼠肺脏和肝脏组织SOD活力、GSH含量均呈逐渐降低趋势;在实验浓度(0～0.4mg·mL-1)下,SOD活力、GSH含量与多壁碳纳米管染毒浓度呈明显的剂量-效应关系.以上结果表明多壁碳纳米管对小鼠肺脏和肝脏抗氧化系统具有一定程度的抑制作用。

Spatial dynamics and substrate impacts of recreational snorkelers and SCUBA divers in Hawaiian Marine Protected Areas

We quantified spatial dynamics and substrate impacts of snorkelers and SCUBA divers within four Hawaiian MPAs to determine: (1) whether coral reefs in these areas are being damaged by recreational activities, and (2) how damage might be mitigated. Observers secretly followed snorkelers and SCUBA divers, and used handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) units to record their geographic tracks and substrate contacts. Most activities occurred within relatively small, well-defined areas associated with access points. Despite heavy use, recreation impact was low at Hawaiian MPAs because most fragile corals occurred below the maximum depth of the dominant recreational activity (snorkeling). SCUBA diving was only common at one MPA with physically durable benthic habitats. GPS tracking provided useful insights into how recreational impacts to MPAs could be reduced. General topography could be used to predict where visitors will go, and designated access points could be used to focus substrate contact away from fragile habitats.     

The Link Between the Exceedance of Acidity Critical Loads for Freshwaters,Current Chemical Status and Biological Damage: A Re-Interpretation

Critical loads have for several years been employed bypolicymakers to aid in the development of strategies for aciddeposition abatement. They provide an effects-based approachwhereby an acid deposition flux greater than the critical load(known as critical load exceedance) implies that long-termharmful effects on a selected target organism will occur.Implicit in this approach are two assumptions: first, theexceedance of a critical load will harm the target organism,and second, the severity of biological impact is related to themagnitude of exceedance. However, static models give noindication of when the predicted damage might occur. One suchmodel, the Steady-State Water Chemistry (SSWC) model, employs aseries of empirical relationships to derive the pre-industrial,baseline leaching rate of base cations from measured waterchemistry using the so-called `F-factor'. The SSWC model setsthe critical load relative to pre-industrial base cationleaching (a permanent buffer of acid deposition) and a selectedacid neutralizing capacity (ANC) value which corresponds with aknown likelihood of damage to a biological target organism.Here we interpret the meaning of critical load exceedance as aprediction of steady-state ANC, and explore the relationshipbetween exceedance of the critical load and current chemistry. We demonstrate that a critical loadexceedance with the SSWC model does not necessarily indicatethat the critical chemical threshold (zero ANC) has alreadybeen crossed, and there may be no correlation betweenexceedance and biological status. A reformulation of the SSWCmodel is proposed which provides a direct link between currentdeposition and current chemical conditions, and is thereforemore likely to indicate current biological damage. Thereformulation illustrates the discrepancy between currentchemical status and that predicted by the SSWC model atsteady-state, which is a function of the `F-factor'.

Assessment of the effect of environmental pollution in a marina on caged mussels using chemical and genotoxic analysis

An integrated approach using the contamination levels and DNA damage in mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) was applied in order to assess the chemical contamination in a marina (Eastern coastline of Aegean Sea). Mussels, which were harvested from a reference site (Foca), were transplanted into a marina situated along the coast of Izmir Bay. The transplanted mussels were collected at the 14th, 30th and 60th day of the experimental period. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) levels (27–51?ng?g^?1?wet?weight) detected in the mussels were similar to the levels detected in other coastal areas of the Mediterranean Sea. The marina’s sediment was found to be contaminated with PAHs (∑PAH?=?25?µg?g^?1) of pyrolytic origin and may become a source of pollution and a threat to the marine environment. In order to assess the DNA damage, the haemolymph and gill cells of the mussels were used for the comet analysis and considered as an indicator of exposure to genotoxic chemicals including 16 PAH compounds and metals. The highest levels of DNA damage expressed as %Tail-DNA (%T-DNA) were observed at the end of the experiment (21.5% T-DNA). The correlation analyses conducted between 2-, 3-, 4-ring PAHs in mussels and %T-DNA in haemolymph and gill cells showed a significant positive correlation. This investigation confirmed that transplanted mussel can be a useful tool to determine PAH contamination in marinas.
