利用绿色巴夫藻去除海水养殖水体中N、P的条件优化

为了研究常用饵料微藻绿色巴夫藻对高密度海水养殖水体中N、P的去除能力,探索去除养殖水体中N、P的最优条件,选择起始藻细胞数量、养殖水体稀释率、温度、光照和盐度五种因素开展正交试验.结果表明养殖水体稀释率为50%时,绿色巴夫藻对NH4-N和PO4-P的平均去除率最高,分别为98.7%和85.5%.各种因素影响藻体去除水体...     

Low energy buildings in Taiwan mountain areas: A weather data analysis

The energy consumption of buildings is influenced by the climates tremendously. Taiwan is an island covered with high mountains. Crossed by the tropic of cancer, the basic climates zones include tropical and subtropical climates. In this research, the degree day and degree hour methods were used to analyze 37 weather stations data in mid and high elevation regions of Taiwan collected over 10 years. The WRF model were used to predict summer cooling hours using 26, 28, 30°C as the base temperatures. The research showed that Taiwan has complicated climate zones due to the variations of the elevation. The low air-conditioning load areas in the mid and high elevation regions will be the most suitable areas to design low energy consumption buildings in Taiwan.     

Reducing carbonyl emissions from a heavy-duty diesel engine at US transient cycle test by use of paraffinic/biodiesel blends

Formaldehyde and acetaldehyde are toxic carcinogens so their reductions in diesel-engine emissions are desirable. This study investigated emissions of carbonyl compounds (CBCs) from an HDDE (heavy-duty diesel engine) at US transient cycle test, using five test fuels: premium diesel fuel (D100), P100 (100% palm-biodiesel), P20 (20% palm-biodiesel + 80% premium diesel fuel), PF80P20 (80% paraffinic fuel + 20% palm-biodiesel), and PF95P05 (95% paraffinic fuel + 5% palm-biodiesel). Experimental results indicate that formaldehyde was the major carbonyl in the exhaust, accounting for 70.1–76.2% of total CBC concentrations for all test fuels. In comparison with D100 (172 mg BHP^?1 h^?1), the reductions of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde emission factor for P100, P20, PF80P20, and PF95P05 were (?16.8%, ?61.8%), (?10.0%, ?39.0%), (21.3%, 1.10%), and (31.1%, 19.5%), respectively. Using P100 and P20 instead of D100 in the HDDE increased CBC concentrations by 14.5% and 3.28%, respectively, but using PF80P20 and PF95P05 significantly reduced CBC concentrations by 30.3% and 23.7%, respectively. Using P100 and P20 instead of D100 (2867 ton yr^?1) in the HDDE increased CBC emissions by 240 and 224 ton yr^?1, respectively, but using PF80P20, and PF95P05 instead of D100 in the HDDE decreased CBC emissions by 711 and 899 ton yr^?1, respectively. The above results indicate that the wide usage of paraffinic–palmbiodiesel blends as alternative fuels could protect the environment.     

杉木多代连栽后土壤肥力变化

通过选择邻近分布,母岩一致,树龄相近且为近成熟林等可比性较强的一代、二代、三代杉木林标准地,研究杂木林及不同栽杉代数杉木林土壤水分物理性质、土壤养分和腐殖质及土壤生化活性的差异,并采用主成分分析（PCA）法对不同林分类型土壤肥力进行排序。结果显示表层土壤（0～20cm）肥力以杂木林最高,其次为一代杉木林的,二代和三代杉木林的则最差;底层土壤(20～40cm)肥力以杂木林最高,一代、二代和三代杉木林的均较差。建议降低人为干扰频率和强度及改善林分群落结构来提高杉木人工林土壤肥力,从而实现杉木林的可持续经营。
