Effectiveness of vegetative filter strips in abating fecal coliform based on modified soil and water assessment tool

Pathogenic bacteria are a serious public health concern. Exposure to these microorganisms can result in illnesses or even death. Therefore, it is important to control pathogenic bacteria sources, transport mechanisms and fate. Best management practices proved to be very effective in the control of non-point source pollution. In this study, the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) was modified and used to simulate the fecal coliform in Chao River of Miyun Reservoir watershed, China. The model was then used to explore the effectiveness of vegetative filter strips (VFS) in reducing fecal coliform abundance throughout the watershed. The water temperature equation within the SWAT was modified to align the model more closely with the characteristics of the study area and generate a more accurate simulation. The DAFS_ratio (20, 50, 80, 120 and 150) and DF_con (0.25, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.75) parameters were considered for VFS to see their effects on removal efficiency. The results show that calibration and validation results for fecal coliform and flow can be accepted. Different values for DAFS_ratio and DF_con have great influence on VFS. Increasing values resulted in a decrease in the removal efficiency of VFS.     

安徽北淮阳构造变形带特征与应力状态研究

在分析安徽北淮阳构造变形带变形特征和活断层作用的基础上,利用该区现代中小地震资料,采用近震直达P波、S波垂直向最大振幅比方法、震源机制的系统聚类和统计分析法,反演部分地震震源机制,并分析现代中小地震活动特征及应力场状态。结果表明,北淮阳构造变形带上主要断层现今处于活动状态;现代中小地震震源总体较浅,在2次6级地震震中附近形成小震密集区,可能反映了震源区介质相对破碎。震源机制的系统聚类和统计分析结果显示,该区断层以走滑或斜滑型破裂为主,但存在倾滑的逆断层;区内应力作用方向以水平为主,也存在部分垂向力作用;主压应力P轴的优势分布为近EW向,其中既有华北应力场,也有华南应力场作用;有少量近NS向应力场作用存在。反映该区处于应力场过渡区,因此将其作为华北、南华地块区的边界是合理的。     

Monitoring cyanobacteria-dominant algal blooms in eutrophicated Taihu Lake in China with synthetic aperture radar images

Monitoring algal blooms by optical remote sensing is limited by cloud cover.In this study,synthetic aperture radar(SAR) was deployed with the aim of monitoring cyanobacteria-dominant algal blooms in Taihu Lake in cloudy weather.The study shows that dark regions in the SAR images caused by cyanobacterial blooms damped the microwave backscatter of the lake surface and were consistent with the regions of algal blooms in quasi-synchronous optical images,confirming the applicability of SAR for detection of surface blooms.Low backscatter may also be associated with other factors such as low wind speeds,resulting in interference when monitoring algal blooms using SAR data alone.After feature extraction and selection,the dark regions were classified by the support vector machine method with an overall accuracy of 67.74%.SAR can provide a reference point for monitoring cyanobacterial blooms in the lake,particularly when weather is not suitable for optical remote sensing.Multi-polarization and multi-band SAR can be considered for use in the future to obtain more accurate information regarding algal blooms from SAR data.     

新安江流域上空云内外巨盐核的分布

1979—1980年6—7月份在新安江流域上空进行了云内外巨盐核的观测,得到:(1)大气中云内外的巨盐核浓度分布都与天气背景有关;(2)云内巨盐核浓度大于同高度上的云外巨盐核浓度,不同云内巨盐核浓度和谱型不一样;(3)云内巨盐核浓度要比小云滴少两个量级,因此巨盐核作为凝结核,对形成小云滴的贡献是很小的。

碳酸岩Sr、Nd、Pb 同位素地球化学研究评述

碳酸岩是出露相对较少的幔源岩石,其中Sr与Nd是研究地幔物质组成的主要对象之一。本文统计了世界上主要碳酸岩的锶、钕、铅同位素组成特征;研究显示,碳酸岩源区主要是洋岛玄武岩高U／Pb的HIMU端员和富集端员(EM1或EM2)的混合作用;此外大部分碳酸岩的锶、钕同位素落在大洋玄武岩范围内;这些均表明其成因与地慢柱有密切联系。碳酸岩及与之共生的硅酸岩的同源或独立源区模式部很难充分解释两者同位素组成特征,逭反映碳酸岩的演化模式涉及更复杂的过程。可能是俯冲作用使碳酸岩源区经历不同时间和程度的富集、亏损过程导致地幔源区成分不均一。

Ionospheric electromagnetic perturbations observed on DEMETER satellite before Chile M7.9 earthquake

Based on the ionospheric electromagnetic data observed on DEMETER satellite of France, the ionospheric electromagnetic signals were analyzed within 10 days before Chile M7.9 earthquake on November 14, 2007. It is found that, low frequency electromagnetic disturbances began to increase in a large scale of latitude, and reached to a maximum one week prior to the earthquake, and at about three days before the quake, the peak values shifted to lower latitude. Taking three days as a group, spatial images of a fe...     

破坏性矿震震前短临阶段震源过程研究

1993年5月15日19时,北京矿务局房山煤矿矿井下6号地震台附近,在4分多钟内相继发生3次破坏性矿震,最大一次震级为2.3级（M0=1.51011Nm）．利用理论地震图分析得到,这3次矿震都是以倾向滑动为主,与在场人员目击到的高倾角煤层中大量煤块倾泻而下的现象一致．主震及其震前一系列事件的6号台近场记录与普通记录不同,不仅有高频振动,而且还有低频振动．用弹性波理论和近年来一系列关于地震破裂成核理论结果进行分析表明:低频振动可能是亚临界扩展向前推进时激发的长周期波,它是不可恢复的形变;高频振动则是矿震事件,它是脆性破裂辐射的波场．根据M＝2.3事件记录及其震前5.4ｓ出现的前震记录中低频振动优势频率推测,主震发生时孕震断裂端部扩容区体积迅速增大．震前20多天直到主震发生期间,震源过程主要特点如下:亚临界扩展多次出现,在此期间孕震断裂端部扩容区体积变化不大．亚临界扩展时不仅激发产生长周期波,也常同时诱发小事件的发生,亚临界扩展优势方向与主震的滑动方向基本一致．      

Soil organic carbon storage and soil CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> flux in the alpine meadow ecosystem

High-resolution sampling, measurements of organic carbon contents and ¹⁴C signatures of selected four soil profiles in the Haibei Station situated on the northeast Tibetan Plateau, and application of ¹⁴C tracing technology were conducted in an attempt to investigate the turnover times of soil organic carbon and the soil-CO₂ flux in the alpine meadow ecosystem. The results show that the organic carbon stored in the soils varies from 22.12×10⁴ kg C hm⁻² to 30.75×10⁴ kg C hm⁻² in the alpine meadow ecosystems, with an average of 26.86×10⁴ kg C hm⁻². Turnover times of organic carbon pools increase with depth from 45 a to 73 a in the surface soil horizon to hundreds of years or millennia or even longer at the deep soil horizons in the alpine meadow ecosystems. The soil-CO₂ flux ranges from 103.24 g C m⁻² a⁻¹ to 254.93 gC m⁻² a⁻¹, with an average of 191.23 g C m⁻² a⁻¹. The CO₂ efflux produced from microbial decomposition of organic matter varies from 73.3 g C m⁻² a⁻¹ to 181 g C m⁻² a⁻¹. More than 30% of total soil organic carbon resides in the active carbon pool and 72.8%281.23% of total CO₂ emitted from organic matter decomposition results from the topsoil horizon (from 0 cm to 10 cm) for the Kobresia meadow. Responding to global warming, the storage, volume of flow and fate of the soil organic carbon in the alpine meadow ecosystem of the Tibetan Plateau will be changed, which needs further research.
