Microbial degradation technologies have been developed to restore ground water quality in aquifers polluted by organic contaminants effectively in recent years. However, in course of the degradation, the formation of biofilms in ground water remediation technology can be detrimental to the effectiveness of a ground water remediation project. Several alternatives are available to a remedial design engineer, such as Permeable Reactive Barriers (PRBs) and in -situ bioremediation, Hydrogen Releasing Compounds (HRCs) barrier, Oxygen Releasing Compounds (ORCs) barrier etc. which are efficient and cost- effective technologies. Excessive biomass formation renders a barrier ineffective in degrading the contaminants, Efforts are made to develop kinetics models which accurately determine bio - fouling and bio - filn formation and to control excessive biomass formation. 相似文献
A wide-field time-series CCD photometric survey of variable stars in the field of the open cluster NGC 2168 was carried out using the BATC Schmidt telescope. In total 13 new variable stars are discovered with three W UMa systems, one EA type and two EB type eclipsing binaries (one of them could be a W UMa system), and seven pulsating stars including three candidates of δScuti stars. 相似文献
Summary. The Backus–Gilbert method is applied to obtain the phase velocity variations on a sphere from the measured phase velocity. Narrow peak kernels, with radii of about 2000 km, are obtained for almost everywhere on the sphere. The phase velocity results are thus interpreted as an average within such regions. The most trouble comes from the antipodal peak in the resolution kernel. This is evaluated as contamination and is incorporated in the error estimation. The total error, which is a root mean square of contamination from the antipodal peak and statistical error estimated from the data covariance matrix, is about 1 per cent of the phase velocity in the average earth model, which is the Preliminary Reference Earth Model (PREM). However, there is about a factor of 2 variation of errors on the sphere. Maximum variations of phase velocity are about 3–4 per cent of the phase velocity in the average earth model, and thus there still remain anomalies which exceed estimated errors. The estimated errors correspond to one standard deviation under the assumptions of uncorrelated Gaussian distribution. For high confidence interval, they show that statistically significant anomalies are scarce for the current data set. Generally, Love-wave phase velocity maps show more resolved features than Rayleigh-wave maps and we can see, in high confidence maps, fast velocities in old oceans and old continents and slow velocities in tectonically active regions like the East Pacific Rise and various back-arc regions. 相似文献
This paper presents gas compositions and H-, O-isotope compositions of sulfide- and quartz-hosted fluid inclusions, and S-, Pb-isotope compositions of sulfide separates collected from the principal Stage 2 ores in Veins 3 and 210 of the Jinwozi lode gold deposit, eastern Tianshan Mountains of China. Fluid inclusions trapped in quartz and sphalerite are dominantly primary. H-and O-isotopic compositions of pyrite-hosted fluid inclusions indicate two major contributions to the ore-forming fluid that include the degassed magma and the meteoric-derived but rock 18O-buffered groundwater. However, H- and O-isotopic compositions of quartz-hosted fluid inclusions essentially suggest the presence of groundwater. Sulfide-hosted fluid inclusions show considerably higher abundances of gaseous species CO2, N2, H2S, etc. than quartz-hosted ones. The linear trends among inclusion gaseous species reflect the mixing tendency between the gas-rich magmatic fluid and the groundwater. The relative enrichment of gaseous species in sulfide-hosted fluid inclusions, coupled with the banded ore structure indicating alternate precipitation of quartz with sulfide minerals, suggests that the magmatic fluid has been inputted to the ore-forming fluid in pulsation. Sulfur and lead isotope compositions of pyrite and galena separates indicate an essential magma derivation for sulfur but the multiple sources for metallic materials from the mantle to the bulk crust.
