To investigate the methane and carbon dioxide emissions from landfill, samples were taken of material up to 5 years old from Shan-Chu-Ku landfill located in the northern part of Taiwan. Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide ranged from 310 to 530, 2.64 to 20.16 and 0.358 to 1.516 ppmv with the measurement of gas-type open-path Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy during February 1998 to March 2000, respectively. Average methane emission rate was 13.17, 65.27 and 0.99 mgm(-2)h(-1) measured by the gas chromatography chamber method in 1-2, 2-3 and 5 year-old landfill, respectively. Similarly, average carbon dioxide emission rate was 93.70, 314.60 and 48.46 mgm(-2)h(-1), respectively. About 2-3 year-old landfill had the highest methane and carbon dioxide emission rates among the tested areas, while 5 year-old landfill was the least. Methane emission rate at night in most tested locations was higher than that in the daytime. Total amount of methane and carbon dioxide emission from this landfill was around 171 and 828 ton in 1999, respectively. 相似文献

During this work, size fractionation technique "ultra filtration" is used in speciation studies of trace elements in the coastal sea water. Filtration is the most commonly used method to fractionate trace metal species, but often only "dissolved" and "particulate" fraction. The purpose of the present study is to determine colloidal and suspended particulate concentrations of Fe, Zn, Cu, Ni, and Mn in sea water. Suspended particulate matter were separated in three different size groups namely (>2.7 microm, <2.7->0.45 microm and <0.45->0.22 microm) by suction filtration using cellulose acetate and nitrate filter membranes. Thereafter to concentrate the solution with colloidal particle <0.22 microm-1.1 nm (0.5 k Nominal Molecular Weight cut-off Limit {NMWL}), the solution obtained from filtration through <0.22 microm, is sequentially passed through the ultra-filtration membranes having pore diameters of 14 nm (300 k NMWL), 3.1 nm (50 k NMWL), 2.2 nm (30 k NMWL), 1.6 nm (10 k NMWL) and 1.1 nm (0.5 k NMWL) by using Stirred Ultra-filtration Cells, operating in concentration mode. The concentration of Fe, Zn, Cu, Ni, and Mn were measured in suspended and dissolved fraction by ion chromatography, ICP-AES and Atomic Absorption Spectrometer. The salinity of the solution in various dissolved fractions of sequential filtration varies between 30.89-34.22 parts per thousand. The maximum concentrations of colloidal Zn, Cu, Ni and Mn in dissolved fraction were in <2.2->1.6 nm fraction. In case of Fe, colloidal fractions <2.2->1.6 nm and <1.6-<1.1 nm shows higher concentration. The concentration of Zn, Cu, Ni and Mn increase with decrease in size in suspended particulate matter, while the reverse is observed in case of Fe. This size separation data that specifies the partitioning of metals between dissolved and suspended solid phases is necessary for developing physically based models of metal transport in aquatic system. 相似文献

The tunicate species which frequently form part of each other's environment were assorted into groups by the use of an index derived from the corrected geometric mean of joint occurrence of pairs of species following Fager (1957) and Fager and McGowan (1963). The relationships shown in the temperature-salinity-plankton (TSP) diagrams between species and water properties are also used as a basis for classifying the species. Similar relationships have enabled species to be grouped together and consistent differences between one group and another set them apart. 相似文献

Some aspects of the habitat zones, distribution pattern, and population density with reference to tidal levels of the tropical limpet Cellana radiata (Born) are presented. Observations have also been made on the homing behaviour of the limpet. Unlike the temperate limpets, no migration to different tidal levels during different seasons was observed in C. radiata. 相似文献

Concentration of trace elements such as Fe, Cu, Ni, and Zn were measured in cereals, pulses, vegetables, fish, meat, milk, egg, and water samples collected around Kakrapar, Gujarat, India. A wide variation of the trace element concentration was observed among all the dietary matrices. The concentration of Fe is comparatively more in all the dietary matrices. The concentrations of these elements are translated into intake rates through ingestion pathways. Daily intake (milligrams/day) of Fe, Cu, Ni, and Zn by adult population of Kakrapar, Gujarat were 16.5 ± 6.2, 3.3 ± 1.2, 1.8 ± 1.0, and 3.6 ± 1.3, respectively. Dietary sources of Fe, Cu, and Ni by Kakrapar adult population are comparable with RDA. In case of Zn, the daily dietary intake is comparatively lower than that of RDA. 相似文献

The complexity of the present data-centric world finds its expression in the increasing number of multi-indicator systems.
This has led to the development of multicriteria ranking systems based on partial orders. Order theory is a main pillar of
structural mathematics. Partial orders help to reveal why an object of interest holds a certain ranking position and how much
it is subject to change if a composite indicator is upgraded. Order theory helps to derive linear or weak orders without indicator
weighting schemes. Hence, rankings obtained from decision support systems (DSS) which depend on many parameters beyond the
data matrix can be checked and discrepancies can lead to examine the parameters of the DSS. Order theory helps discover association
and implication structures derived from formal concept lattices. Association and implication networks among the attributes
of the data matrix allow more insights into multi-indicator systems and lead to new hypotheses and motivate further research.
Some new and innovative concepts, like separated subsets, antagonistic indicators, ranking stability fields are rendered.
Separated subsets are the typical outcome of a partial order analysis; their identification leads to antagonistic indicators,
which are responsible for the separatedness of object’s subsets. Numerical aggregation can be performed step-by-step and the
question which values of a weight lead to an order inversion is of high interest. The concept of stability fields is one possible
answer, discussed in this paper. After an outline of partial order theory some more specific theoretical results are shown,
then we discuss the role of composite indicators in the light of partial order and give some examples of interesting applications
of partial order. Finally examples are selected from real life case studies of watersheds, environmental performance evaluations,
child well being, geographic and administrative regions and more. 相似文献

When an environmental sampling objective is to classify all the sample units as contaminated or not, composite sampling with selective retesting can substantially reduce costs by reducing the number of units that require direct analysis. The tradeoff, however, is increased complexity that has its own hidden costs. For this reason, we propose a model for assessing the relative cost, expressed as the ratio of total expected cost with compositing to total expected cost without compositing (initial exhaustive testing). Expressions are derived for the following retesting protocols: (i) exhaustive, (ii) sequential and (iii) binary split. The effects of both false positive and false negative rates are also derived and incorporated. The derived expressions of relative cost are illustrated for a range of values for various cost components that reflect typical costs incurred with hazardous waste site monitoring. Results allow those who are designing sampling plans to evaluate if any of these compositing/retesting protocols will be cost effective for particular applications. 相似文献
