Aluminum in the macrotidal Yalujiang estuary: Partitioning of Al along the estuarine gradients and flux

Water samples were collected from the Yalujiang estuary in both flood periods (August 1992 and August 1994) and dry season (May 1996) and were analyzed for aluminum (Al). Al behaves non-conservatively in the Yalujiang estuary, and a significant loss (70–80%) in dissolved concentration is observed in the upper estuary, in spite of seasonal variation in water discharge and sediment load. About 0.4×10⁶, tons of Al is annually transported from Yalujiang to the estuary, of which the particulate pool clearly dominates. The particulate Al flux through the Yalujiang contributes 35% of the total Al input from Chinese rivers to the Yellow Sea. The data sets from size fractionation and C-18 SPE separation demonstrate that a large fraction of dissolved Al is in colloidal (≈50%) and organically complex (≈60%) forms in the Yalujiang. The observed scavenging from solution to particulate pools in the estuary is most likely through the flocculation of colloidal and organic-complexed Al, which results in a considerable change in dissolved-particulate partitioning, shown by laboratory mixing experiments. Exchange between dissolved and particulate phases is examined by analysis of K_d, the distribution coefficient. The empirical relationship of K_d with chlorinity and suspended matter concentrations was investigated with field observations and model simulations. The model indicated that K_d values of Al are inversely related to the amount of total suspended matter, but K_d-chlorinity plots show different features between dry and flood seasons.     

Size Fractionation (Dissolved, Colloidal and Particulate) of Trace Metals in the Thur River, Switzerland

The distribution of some trace metals (Cu, Zn, Ni, Co,Fe, Mn) and of DOC over a particulate (> 1 m),a colloidal (size < 0.45 m and molecular weight > 10 kD) and an ultrafiltered fraction (< 10 kD)was determined at several sites on the Thur River,Switzerland, at various times of the year. Thecomplexation of Cu by strong ligands in theultrafiltrate and in the conventional filtrate (<0.45 m) was compared using a ligand-exchange/CSV method.The <0.45 m concentrations of Cu (from anaverage of 7 nM to 24 nM), Zn (<5–23 nM), Ni (5–13 nM),Co (1.5–3 nM) and Mn (7–92 nM)increased downstream. The major part of Cu, Zn, Niand Co usually occurred in the ultrafiltratefraction at all sites, whereas Fe and Mn were mostlyin the particulate fraction, under conditions of lowsuspended matter content (< 10 mg L^-1) in theriver. The percentage of metal in the colloidalfraction, with respect to the 0.45-m filtrate,decreased in the order: Cu (median 11%) > Zn Ni(median 5–6%) > Mn Co (median < 5%). DOCalso consisted mostly of molecules in the < 10 kDrange.Cu was strongly complexed by natural organic ligandsin all filtrate and ultrafiltrate samples. A largepart of the strong Cu binding ligands consisted ofcompounds in the < 10 kD range, but colloidalligands with similar properties also occurred. Cu wasdistributed among the dissolved and the colloidalligands, roughly in proportion to organic carbon.The colloidal fraction (as defined here) did notincrease in its proportional amount downstream and wasonly of limited significance in transporting traceelements in the Thur River under low discharge conditions.     

内蒙古狼山-色尔腾山的剥蚀面序列 和景观发育的控制因素*

基于动力统计模型重构的副热带高压中长期预报

基于T106数值预报产品500 hPa位势高度场序列,用EOF方法对位势场序列进行时、空分解,在考虑相邻时段位势场空间模态基本稳定的前提下,引入动力系统重构的思想,以EOF分解的空间模态时间系数序列作为动力统计模型变量,用遗传算法全局搜索和并行计算优势,进行了模型参数的优化反演,建立了EOF分解的时间系数的非线性预报模型。通过模型积分和EOF的时、空重构,实现了副热带高压活动场的中长期预报。试验结果表明,在短期预报(1—5 d)该模型与T106模式的预报效果大致相当;但对于中长期预报(≥5 d),其预报效果优于T106预报产品;特别是10 d以上的预报结果对副热带高压的形态和范围仍然能较为准确地描述。该研究方法对副热带高压等复杂天气系统和要素场预报提供了一种新的思路。

对建筑场地类别划分方法的探讨

判定场地类别是岩土工程勘察要解决的主要问题之一。科学地确定场地类别可以用来指导建筑抗震设计。判定场地类别的方法目前主要依据规范法进行。在按规范法进行判定场地类别时,由于场地沉积土层的差异、建筑物基础埋深的不同或采用基础型式的不同、场地标高的不同,有时会产生一些矛盾。对这些矛盾提出了初步解决的建议,供业内人士参考及批评指正。     

影响中国的台风频数年代际变化趋势:1951-2004年

Interdecadal variations in the frequency of typhoon affecting China (TAC) during 1951-2004 were investigated in this study. The yearly frequency of TACs showed a slightly increasing trend from the 1950s to the early 1970s and a significant decreasing trend afterwards. There were more TACs during the 1960s while the most inactive period was observed in recent 10 years. A decreasing trend was observed in the monthly frequency of TACs in June, August and September throughout the 54 years. Large interannual variabilities were apparent in yearly and monthly frequencies of TACs.     

中国城市固体废弃物甲烷排放研究

The greenhouse effect of methane (CH4) is only inferior to that of carbon dioxide (CO2). As an important anthropogenic emission source, the calculation of the emission amount of CH4 from waste treatment in landfills plays an important role in compiling greenhouse gases inventory and in estimating the climate change effects caused by increasing of greenhouse gases. Based on the previous work, and according to the sampling and analysis on municipal solid waste (MSW) in typical cities, the degradable organic carbon (DOC) percentile was identified in typical cities in recent years. According to the IPCC greenhouse gases inventory guideline and default method of CH4 emission from MSW landfills, and in light of MSW managing situation in different regions, the amount of CH4 emission was calculated. The results show that the amount of CH4 emission decreases geographically from east to west and it increases temporally from 1994 to 2004 in China.

Self-calibration Applied in Converting Simulation Surveying

In the field of converting simulation surveying and traditional close range photogrammetry, it has been developed so far to survey objects by commercial digital camera and this technique is applied widely in every part of production. In order to get three-dimensional information of objects, commercial digital camera must be examined. For a long time, digital camera has been examined by DLT. Then there must be a high-precision control field. For realizing surveying without control points, a method for self-calibration is proposed.
