Ecophysiological indicators of the state of animal populations exposed to damaging factors

Indices of abundance and reproduction rate are considered in some groups of aquatic and terrestrial vertebrates from the zones of technogenic disasters. Upon a critical population decline caused by external destructive factors, such as emissions of acute ecotoxicants, the ecophysiological and behavioral compensatory mechanisms are activated, which provide for restoration of the total population size to the optimum within a short period of time. Environmental pollution with substances disturbing the reproductive function has the gravest consequences for animals. In this case, population size may remain fairly high, and, therefore, the effect of enhanced reproduction as a response to population decline does not take place, which eventually leads to a gradual but irreversible destruction of the population. Pathologies of reproduction should be used as a criterion for assessing the state of animals in the zones of technogenic disasters.Translated from Ekologiya, No. 1, 2005, pp. 32–38.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Shilova, Shatunovskii.     

CHLORINATED HYDROCARBON (HCB, DDTs AND PCBs LEVELS IN CETACEANS STRANDED ALONG THE ITALIAN COASTS: AN OVERVIEW

Concentrations of HCB, DDTs and PCBs in the tissues andorgans of cetaceans ( Stenella coeruleoalba, Tursiops truncatus, Balaenoptera physalus, Steno bredanensis}, Grampus griseus} and Globicephala melaena) strandedalong the Italian coasts in the period 1987–1993 are reported. The values are compared between speciesand between specimens of the samespecies. Chlorinated hydrocarbon (CH) levels were found toincrease in relation to the quantity andtype of lipids in each tissue and organ. Differences inaccumulation encountered in the differentspecies are principally due to different feeding habitats.Remarkable differences found between malesand females of each species confirm that during gestation andlactation, females undergo disintoxication by passing much of their total burden of CHs to their young.

重庆铜梁县空气质量历时演变与评价

以重庆市铜梁县为例,分析了西部小城镇空气质量的历时演变规律,并对小城镇空气质量进行了评价。结果表明,小城镇空气质量夏季优于冬季,NO2和O3年均浓度(分别为29~33、18~34μg/m3)有所增加,但均在《环境空气质量标准》(GB 3095—2012)标准值内,PM10和SO2的年均浓度则逐年下降,2012年年均浓度比2010年分别下降了34%和19%;PM10、SO2、NO2浓度与温度、风速呈显著负相关关系,与大气压、相对湿度呈显著正相关关系,O3浓度与温度、风速、气压、相对湿度的相关性则刚好与此相反。对铜梁县近3年空气质量状况的评价结果表明,铜梁县空气质量稳步提升,相对于2010年的空气质量状况来说,2012年空气质量等级为优和良的天数分别提高了5%和9%,空气质量等级为轻微污染的天数则降低了9%。研究结果可为小城镇空气质量的宏观调控提供参考。     

基于形态滤波遗传算法对目标红外图像特征检测

将形态滤波和自适应遗传算法结合起来,提出了一个用于目标检测的形态滤波器参数优化遗传算法。通过设计了形态滤波的遗传算法,寻求最佳结构元,以实现对目标的自适应检测。作为2个特殊环境中的应用检测实例,分别对固体推进器尾喷焰红外图像和复杂背景下的弱小目标进行检测。实验结果表明该方法能够更好地适应环境变化,更大程度地提高目标信号检测的信号噪声（SNR）比,有效地检测出复杂背景下的目标。     

污泥基生物炭提升活性污泥系统处理性能

对污泥基生物炭提升活性污泥系统处理性能进行探讨,将活性炭和污泥基生物炭分别投入A²O工艺厌氧池活性污泥,发现其对COD削减率最高分别为72.9%和41.1%,均能有效削减,生物炭对TN削减率最高为74.1%,优于活性炭.表征显示污泥基生物炭上更易附着活性污泥且比表面积更大.在A²O小试厌氧池中以"1次/污泥龄"为频率投加活性炭、污泥基生物炭和脱脂污泥基生物炭,结果发现:投加污泥基生物炭对COD、TN、TP的削减均优于活性炭,投加脱脂污泥基生物炭对COD、TN的削减与投加活性炭相当,对TP平均削减率高达85.6%,优于活性炭,表明生物炭处理(BT)工艺比粉末活性炭处理(PACT)工艺处理生活污水能力更强,脱脂污泥基生物炭作为污泥脂质提取后的副产品更经济.
