轮胎印迹识别及案例分析

轮胎印迹是轮胎在地面上滑动，摩擦生热，使轮胎橡胶产生塑性变形，并产生橡胶微粒，粘附于地面上形成的。事故现场的轮胎印迹分为三种：胎印、擦印和拖印。其中轮胎拖印是事故分析过程中最有价值的资料之一。它不仅反映了事故前后车辆的运动轨迹、轮胎状态、碰撞点的位置和制动措施，而且还可以根据印迹长度和形态分析车辆碰撞分离时刻的速度。

Discrimination between Japanese and Chinese Products using trace elements concentration of kernel in pickled Japanese apricot

pp. 875–880

The trace-element composition of kernel in pickled Japanese apricot (Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc.) was determined using an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer in order to distinguish between Japanese products and Chinese products.

Strontium and barium concentrations in the kernels of Chinese products were 10 or more times those of the Japanese ones. When based on 8.0 mg kg^?1 of strontium concentration in kernel, 93.2% of sample was distinguished as Japanese products or Chinese ones.

Applying principal component analysis using 9 elements (Mn, Zn, Fe, Ni, Ba, Sr, Cu, Co, Cr), the pickled Japanese apricots tend to separate into two countries. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) using 9 elements allowed a reasonable classification of pickled Japanese apricots according to the country of production.

The result of the analysis of K-nearest neighbors (KNN) was better than that of LDA.     

Examination of thermal and acid hydrolysis procedures in characterization of soil organic matter

Abstract

Differential thermogravimetry (DTG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and stepwise thermogravimetry (STG), together with two acid hydrolysis methods (hydrolysis with hydrochloric acid in a single step, and hydrolysis with sulfuric acid in two steps), were evaluated to determine the quality of four plant materials (Medicago sativa, Eucalyptus globulus, Quercus ilex, and Pinus halepensis) before and after mixing with a red earth. These quality indices were then compared with the same materials in the field, whether their decomposition could be predicted. All the thermal methods gave poor results. In both DTG and DSC, the presence of the mineral matrix gave rise to strong distortions in the spectra. Since the spectrum of any mixture is not simply the sum of the spectra of the two components (organic matter + mineral matter), these distortions could not be corrected by simply subtracting the spectrum of the red earth alone. STG trials also gave poor results, because the presence of the mineral matrix greatly increased the quality indices, and reduced the ability of the method to distinguish between organic matter qualities. In view of our results, the usefulness of thermal methods in the characterization of soil organic matter would seem to be restricted to certain organic horizons (L, F, and perhaps H). In contrast, methods based on acid hydrolysis were comparatively more satisfactory. Their resolution (ability to distinguish organic matter qualities) was much higher than that of thermal methods. However, they were able to distinguish carbon more accurately than nitrogen. The sulfuric acid method, unlike the hydrochloric acid method, was affected by the presence of a mineral matrix. While both methods could be improved, in their present form they seem to operate as good predictors of carbon and nitrogen mineralization.     

Characterization and Heavy Metal Retention Capacity of Soils in Mangrove Forest of the Niger Delta,Nigeria

Abstract

Soils under the main mangrove (Rhizophora racemosa and Avicennia germinans) forest in the Niger Delta, Nigeria, were characterized, and their capacities to retain heavy metals were examined by using soil column leaching experiments, using 20 mg L^?1 Cu, 50 mg L^?1 Zn, 20 mg L^?1 Cd, and 100 mg L^?1 Mn solutions. At the end of the leaching experiments, soil samples from each column were divided into two layers (0–5 cm and 5–10 cm) and analyzed for total metal retained. The fractionation of heavy metals in the surface soil samples (0–5 cm) was investigated by the sequential extraction technique. The study showed that the soils were influenced by tidal flow and characterized by the presence of very fine textured, thin (0–5 cm) to moderately thick (10–15 cm) layer of alluvium (mud) on the surface. The fibric soil material beneath the surface mud varies in thickness from about 70 to 100 cm, and beyond the histic layer is the plastic, very sticky, massive clay. In situ, the soils were neutral in reaction (pH 7.0–7.2), but became strongly acid (pH 3.3–4.8) upon drying. They are saline, high in soluble salts, highly reduced, with CEC that is low in the fibric layer, but high in the mineral, clayey subsoil horizon. The soils are saturated with water for much more than 30 days in a year and have fiber content that is more than 40 cm thick, with the fibric sphagnum constituting more than three‐fourths by volume to a depth greater than 90 cm. The soils, classified as Typic Sphagnofibrists, sequestered considerable amounts of copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), and manganese (Mn) with most of the metals retained in the surface soils. The anthropogenic heavy metals were mostly adsorbed probably to the negatively charged sites of organics and clay. These loosely bound metals may be desorbed and reenter the aqueous phase, thus becoming a secondary source of metal pollution.     

Anthropogenic effects on the physical and chemical properties of subtropical coastal urban soils

We investigated the effects of various anthropogenic factors on urban soil properties in subtropical, coastal Tampa, FL, USA. Specifically, we explored the influence of (i) urbanization as measured by land use, land cover, population density and years since urban development and (ii) socioeconomic conditions as reflected in household income and property values on bulk density (BD) and several key soil chemical properties. Results indicate that Tampa’s urban soils were affected to varying degrees by these factors with chemical properties being more variable than BD. Across land uses significant differences were found for Mehlich‐1 (M1) extractable P, Ca and Na. A similar trend was observed for land‐cover classes, although significant differences were also found for pH and M1‐Cu. Soil properties had no statistically significant relationship with population density. However, time since urbanization did with M1‐P and Na varying significantly across age categories. For our socioeconomic analyses, M1‐K and Mg levels differed significantly by household income while pH, P, Ca and Na values differed significantly by property value. Overall, our findings indicate that despite their inherent heterogeneity, there are identifiable patterns among subtropical coastal urban soil properties. We suggest that a more thorough understanding of these patterns and their drivers is an essential first step towards developing soil management strategies aimed at maintaining environmental quality and ecosystem services in subtropical cities.     

Chemical Detection of Heavy Metals Applied at High Rates to Soil

Abstract

The detection of eight micropollutants was studied in a field trial. Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Pb, and Zn soluble salts were applied at rates of 30, 90, and 270 kg ha^?1. The total element content was measured using HNO₃+H₂O₂, and the exchangeable/soluble content was measured with NH₄‐acetate+EDTA extraction. After 1 year, nearly all of the applied Cu, Pb, Cd, Zn, and As could still be detected in the plow layer in an exchangeable form, but the Cr and Hg were not detectable. Two years later, approximately two‐thirds of the added Cd and only about one‐third of the applied Cu, Pb, Zn, and As were found in exchangeable forms, whereas Cr and Hg were only marginally detected. With time, fixation of these elements in less exchangeable forms occurred. Cadmium remained exchangeable for a longer time than the other elements and could be measured by both analytical methods.
