A general methodology for fuzzy synthetic evaluation is developed and illustrated with a case study of trophic status assessment
for Fei-Tsui Reservoir in Taiwan. The historical data base was collected from the management agency of Fei-Tsui Reservoir
from 1987 to 1996. In fuzzy synthetic evaluation, the classification is determined by a matrix operation of the weighted vector
with the fuzzy evaluation matrix. After all individual membership functions of evaluated factors have been determined, the
fuzzy evaluation matrix can be established. The weighted vector is determined by the analytic hierarchy process method (AHP).
The results of this investigation show that the long-term change of water quality and the overturn phenomena cannot be observed
with the Carlson index from 1987 to 1992 but is expressed by fuzzy synthetic evaluation. Fuzzy synthetic evaluation is better
suited than the Carlson index to rating the trophic status of self-sustaining lakes. Interpretation of the results can provide
valuable information to decision makers and aid reservoir management. 相似文献
Many coastal seas are severely eutrophic and required to reduce nutrient concentrations to meet a certain water quality standard. We proposed a method for nutrient removal by planting Sesuvium portulacastrum at the water surface using the floating beds in the aquaculture area of the Dongshan Bay as an example, which is an important net-cage culture base in China and where dissolved inorganic nitrogen(DIN) and dissolved inorganic phosphate(DIP) reach 0.75 mg/L and 0.097 mg/L, respectively far exceeding China's Grade IV water quality standards.Numerical simulations were taken using the ecological model, field observations and field plantation experimental results to assess the environmental restoration effects of planting S. portulacastrum at some certain spatial scales. Our field experiments suggested that the herbs can absorb 377 g/m~2 nitrogen and 22.9 g/m~2 phosphorus in eight months with an inserting density of ~60 shoot/m~2. The numerical experiments show that the greater the plantation area is, the more nutrient removal. Plantation in ~12% of the study area could lower nutrients to the required Grade II standards, i.e., 0.2 mg/LDIN≤0.3 mg/L and 0.015 mg/LDIP≤0.03 mg/L.Here the phytoremediation method and results provide helpful references for environmental restoration in other eutrophic seas. 相似文献
This study proposes an analytical method that determines the center manifold and identifies the reduced system on the center manifold. The proposed method expresses the center manifold through general equations containing only state variables, and not functions with respect to time. This is the so-called geometric structure of the center manifold. The location of periodic or quasi-periodic orbits is identified after the geometric structure of the center manifold is determined. The reduced system on the center manifold is described using ordinary differential equations, so that periodic or quasi-periodic orbits can be computed by numerically integrating the reduced system. The results indicate that the analytical method proposed in this study has higher precision compared with the Lindstedt-Poincaré method of the same order. 相似文献
In the southwest of China, one of the greatest threats to local ecosystem is the area expansion of an invasive species, i.e.,
Eupatorium adenophorum Spreng (EAS). In this study, the remote-sensing technology was used to detect and map the spatial distribution
of EAS in Guizhou Province, China. A series of vegetation indices, including normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI),
simple ratio index (SRI) and atmospherically resistant vegetation index (ARVI), were used to identify EAS from HJ-A Chninese
satellite data. According to the analysis results of fieldworks from March 21 to 22, 2009, it was found that the vegetation
index of {1.9589 ≤ SRI ≤ 4.1095}∩{0.2359 ≤ ARVI ≤ 0.5193} was the optimal remote-sensing parameter for identifying EAS from
HJ-A data. According to the spatial distribution of EAS estimated from HJ-A data, it was found that EAS was rather more in
southwest of Guizhou Province than in northeast. EAS became sparse from southwest to northeast gradually, and the central
Guizhou Province was the ecological corridor linking EAS in southwest to that in northeast. By comparison with validated data
collected by the government of Guizhou Province, it was found that the uncertainty of remote-sensing method was 18.52%, 29.31%,
8.77% and 9.46% in grassland, forest, farmland and others respectively, and the mean uncertainty was 13.29%. Owing to the
lower height of EAS than many plants in forest, the uncertainty of EAS was the greatest in forest than that in grassland,
farmland and so on. 相似文献
The well-developed, late Cenozoic Nihewan Beds in northern China are amongst the most famous and well-preserved Quaternary strata in East Asia. The Nihewan Basin is also well-known for its mammalian fossils and stone artifacts, which document early human settlements in high northern latitudes (around 40°N). It is a key geological place to study palaeoenvironments and ancient human activities due to the excellent age-control of the formation by palaeomagnetism. In the present paper, the sediments of two Paleolithic sites were dated using the ESR signals of the titanium center in quartz. In order to check the reliability of our analytical procedures, a reference sample collected near the Brunhes/Matuyama (B/M) boundary at the Donggutuo site was firstly analyzed, yielding an age of 750 ± 88 ka. Then, three samples collected from the Dongpo site were analyzed by the same procedures. Our ESR results indicate that the age of the Dongpo cultural layer ranges between 304 ± 12 ka and 333 ± 23 ka, with an average of approximately 321 ± 15 ka. 相似文献
We develop a new numerical model based on a precise integration method to investigate the coupled thermo-mechanical performance of layered transversely isotropic media around a cylindrical/tubular heat source. To obtain the relational matrices of the extended precise integration method, we first convert the governing equations of the problem into ordinary differential matrix equations through the Laplace–Hankel transform. Then, the cylindrical heat source is divided into a series of plane heat sources, and the plane temperature load term is added to the state vector between layer elements. By combining the layer elements, we build a layered transversely isotropic numerical model containing a cylindrical heat source in the transformed domain. Finally, we solve the model in the transformed domain and obtain the solution of the problem in the real domain through the Laplace–Hankel transform inversion. The accuracy of this method is verified by comparing the solutions with the results of the analytical method and the finite element method. Then, we study the influence of the anisotropy of thermal parameters, the embedded depth, the length/radius ratio, the type of heat source and the stratification of the medium on the thermo-mechanical coupled performance.
