Fish samples collected near the caustic soda factory of TACSCO in Thailand during November and December 1978 were found to contain 0.10 to 1.38 ppm Hg in flesh (on wet weight basis), whereas those of the control areas contained 0.01 to 0.30 ppm. The Hg content of the fish in the TACSCO area had decreased by more than half from the first investigation which took place during 1975–76. This decrease is obviously a result of the functioning of the waste-water-treatment system built by the factory in 1974. The bottom mud collected near the factory in 1978 contained 8.39 to 57.95 ppm Hg (on dry weight basis) as compared with the mean of 0.03 ppm in samples taken from the control area. The Hg content in fish-eating birds were low, 0.04 to 0.44 ppm in the muscles and 0.05 to 1.32 ppm in the livers (on wet weight basis). 相似文献

Soil aquifer treatment (SAT) is a cost-effective natural wastewater treatment and reuse technology. It is an environmentally friendly technology that does not require chemical usage and is applicable to both developing and developed countries. However, the presence of organic matter, nutrients, and pathogens poses a major health threat to the population exposed to partially treated wastewater or reclaimed water through SAT. Laboratory-based soil column and batch experiments simulating SAT were conducted to examine the influence of temperature variation and oxidation?Creduction (redox) conditions on removal of bulk organic matter, nutrients, and indicator microorganisms using primary effluent. While an average dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal of 17.7?% was achieved in soil columns at 5?°C, removal at higher temperatures increased by 10?% increments with increase in temperature by 5?°C over the range of 15 to 25?°C. Furthermore, soil column and batch experiments conducted under different redox conditions revealed higher DOC removal in aerobic (oxic) experiments compared to anoxic experiments. Aerobic soil columns exhibited DOC removal 15?% higher than that achieved in the anoxic columns, while aerobic batch showed DOC removal 7.8?% higher than the corresponding anoxic batch experiments. Ammonium-nitrogen removal greater than 99?% was observed at 20 and 25?°C, while 89.7?% was removed at 15?°C, but the removal substantially decreased to 8.8?% at 5?°C. While ammonium-nitrogen was attenuated by 99.9?% in aerobic batch reactors carried out at room temperature, anoxic experiments under similar conditions revealed 12.1?% ammonium-nitrogen reduction, corresponding to increase in nitrate-nitrogen and decrease in sulfate concentration. 相似文献

Investment decision model for drip irrigation system 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Drip irrigation is becoming popular in India although the decision to shift to drip irrigation from surface irrigation is not backed up by solid economic factors. It is not that the factors do not justify the shift, but that insufficient study has been done to document the conditions under which a change is justified. The investment decision for shifting to drip irrigation will depend upon many factors; including cost of cultivation, productivity, yield gain factor, cost of produce, electricity charges, depth of groundwater and irrigation requirement. These parameters vary from crop to crop, place to place, size of plot, and farmer to farmer. Therefore a sweeping recommendation suitable for all conditions cannot be made. In view of this, a software program has been developed for estimating the threshold economic value of the investment cost of drip irrigation. In addition to the threshold value of investment cost, the software provides information on energy consumption and net return. The software can be used both for annual crops such as sugarcane or seasonal crops such as vegetable rotations (winter–summer). To demonstrate the interdependence of various input parameters, an analysis has been made using local data in this software. The analysis has provided the relationship between the investment cost and the yield gain factor, the returns from the crop, as well as the savings in energy and the size of the prime mover with regard to the size of the farm. 相似文献

Drip irrigation is widely recognized as potentially one of the most efficient irrigation methods. However, this efficiency is often not achieved because systems are not always well designed or maintained and many farmers lack the tools to assess the crop water requirements and to monitor the soil moisture conditions in the field. There is a vast amount of literature on irrigation scheduling but little literature takes scientific information the next step by preparing practical guidelines for smallholder farmers. There is a large and widening gap between the state of the art irrigation scheduling tools and current on-farm irrigation practices. Most farmers find current irrigation scheduling tools overwhelming and lack the means and skills to install and operate them. It is suggested that farmers need simple, cheap and more comprehensive support tools to achieve improved irrigation management at the farm level. Wageningen University and Research Centre (WUR) developed the Drip Planner Chart (DPC) to provide smallholder farmers with a simple tool to schedule drip irrigation to the crops?? needs. DPC is a manual disk calculator to calculate daily irrigation requirement. Farmers?? feedback was the basis for developing the DPC. Using DPC over a three-year period in Spain resulted in a 14 % water saving and improved irrigation timing. Trials at smallholder farmer fields in Nepal and Zambia showed DPC advice is more adapted to the changing demands of the crop over the different growth stages and responds to the farmer??s quest for practical drip scheduling advice. This paper presents the Drip Planner Chart and the scientific validation of the accuracy of the DPC. Experiments on farmers?? fields show water saving in Nepal and improved yield in Zambia. In both countries an improved scheduling over the growing seasons was found using DPC. 相似文献

A study was conducted with 24 piedmont soils of Arunachal Pradesh (India) to estimate the critical limit of available boron (B) in soil and cowpea plant for predicting the response of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) to B application. The critical concentration of available B in these soils was established by graphical procedure at 0.48 mg kg?1 for soil and at 24.5 mg kg?1 in the plant tissues. Soil containing available B below the critical limit responded appreciably to B fertilization. A negative response to B application was also observed in soils at higher level of available B. The average dry matter yield increased with the increasing level of B application up to 1.5 mg kg?1. The yield response to B application in cowpea on B deficient soils was 34.5%. Based on the critical value of 0.48 mg kg?1, 10 soils were rated to be adequate and 20.0% soils belonging to this category responding to B application, whereas 85.7% soils below the critical value showed a positive response to B application. The hot water soluble B was significantly and positively correlated with organic carbon, cation exchange capacity and clay contents and negatively correlated with pH, silt and sand contents of soils. 相似文献

Ethanol mediated free radical generation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of liver injuries and alcoholic liver diseases. In the present study two ellagitannins namely geraniin and amariin isolated from Phyllanthus amarus were examined for their ability to protect mouse liver slices against ethanol induced toxicity and possible mechanism of its protection. Oxidative stress markers such as, lipid peroxidation, protein carbonyl formation, amount of 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine and antioxidant enzymes levels were measured using specific biochemical assays. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), Bax and Bcl2 were checked to assess the induction of apoptosis using western blots. The results showed that geraniin and amariin protected mouse liver slices against ethanol induced cytotoxicity. Both compounds inhibited oxidation of lipid, protein and formation of 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine, all of which were found to be elevated on exposure to ethanol. These compounds restored the antioxidant enzymes altered on ethanol exposure. Compounds also inhibited the cleavage of PARP and bax and restored Bcl2, induced on exposure to ethanol. In summary, both ellagitannins effectively protected mouse liver slices against ethanol induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis by reducing oxidative damage to biological molecules and modulating Bax/Bcl-2 ratio respectively, thus minimizing liver injury. 相似文献

Macrophages, which constitute the first line of defense, pour their secretions in the mileu following stimulation with pathogens. These secretory products, referred to as macrophage secretory products (MSPs), can influence ultimate outcome of an infection. In the present investigation, it was observed that different strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa vary in their ability to stimulate macrophages leading to variability in generation of macrophage secretory products. Cytokine levels, reactive nitrogen intermediates and protein content of macrophage secretory products generated with biofilm cells of P. aeruginosa was found to be more as compared to their planktonic counterparts. The effect of macrophage secretory products produced in response to interaction of macrophages with P. aeruginosa on elaboration of virulence factors produced by planktonic and biofilm cell forms of this pathogen was assessed. Significant enhancement in growth and elaboration of all the virulence determinants by both the cell forms was observed when P. aeruginosa was grown in presence of supernatants with macrophage secretory products. Implications of these findings in relation to urinary tract infections induced by P. aeruginosa have been discussed. 相似文献
