Experimental Study of Tidal Effects on Coastal Groundwater and Pollutant Migration

The problem of current urban groundwater pollution is very serious, which has influenced social development and people’s daily life. Around the land-sea interface, tide obviously changes nearshore the groundwater flow regime and makes the pollutant migration process become more complex. In the present study, the effect of tide-induced groundwater table fluctuations and on the pollutants migration in beach aquifers is investigated by constructing a two-dimensional sand trough physical experimental model. The model considered brackish-water density differences and the tide by controlling experimental medium properties and boundary conditions. The results showed that the groundwater table fluctuation cycle is the same as the tidal cycle and the fluctuation lag time increases linearly with the increase of the offshore distance. Tidal fluctuation flattens brackish-freshwater interface, widens the dispersion zone, and generates the upper saline and the freshwater belt. Time lag corresponding relationships between saline water and tidal fluctuation was observed. With the pollutant approaching the saline water area, the profile of the pollutant migration is gradually developed into a spindle shape until the strip shape, and the pollutant enters the saline water body along the curved edge of the upper part of the saline water. The transverse dispersion of pollutants is larger than the longitudinal dispersion in a tidal cycle and its outline presents a strip shape development. No mixing or exchange between the pollutants and the saline water body happened during the whole process. This study can provide scientific references for nearshore groundwater pollution prevention and control in the future.     

Amino acid catalysis of 2-alkylfuran formation from lipid oxidation-derived α,β-unsaturated aldehydes

The formation of 2-alkylfurans from the corresponding lipid-derived α,β-unsaturated aldehydes under dry-roasting conditions was investigated in detail. The addition of an amino acid to an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde drastically increased 2-alkylfuran formation. Peptides and proteins as well were able to catalyze 2-alkylfuran formation from the corresponding α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. Further investigation of 2-alkylfuran formation showed the need of oxidizing conditions and the involvement of radicals in the reaction. This way, the formation of 2-methylfuran from 2-pentenal, 2-ethylfuran from 2-hexenal, 2-propylfuran from 2-heptenal, 2-butylfuran from 2-octenal, 2-pentylfuran from 2-nonenal, and 2-hexylfuran from 2-decenal was shown. The impact of amino acids on 2-alkylfuran formation from lipid-derived α,β-unsaturated aldehydes represents an interesting example of the complex role of amino acids in the multitude of chemical reactions occurring during thermal processing of lipid-rich foods.     

堆肥过程中水溶性有机物常规荧光与固体表面荧光光谱比较

为研究固体表面荧光表征堆肥有机质结构及物质转化特征的可行性,采集堆肥原样,提取水溶性有机物,分别对两者的含碳量及前者的固体表面荧光和后者的常规荧光光谱进行分析。结果显示：堆肥过程中,水溶性有机物占总堆肥有机物的比例不断下降,第40天降至5.1 g/kg。堆肥进行时,水溶性有机物的发射、激发光谱及同步荧光光谱中的类腐殖质荧光的强度均不断增强,而堆肥原样的激发、发射和同步3种扫描形式的固体表面荧光却不断降低。3种荧光光谱中,堆肥原样和水溶性有机物的同步荧光光谱在常规荧光光谱和固体表面荧光中都出现了类蛋白和类腐     

温室发展进程初释

保护地栽培(设施园艺)做为一种农业生产方式的出现和发展,在古代都是为宫廷和贵族服务。西欧是从古罗马帝国的第五代皇帝尼禄(Nero)时期(公元54—68年)掘坑后覆盖云母或滑石板片进行保护地栽培。中国确切的记载是在公元前33年汉朝时期,采取燃柴草加温的方法在室内进行蔬菜生产。由于封建迷信思想(认为食之有害)的影响长期以来没有得到发展。到唐朝(公元7世纪)又有利用温泉为宫廷种植瓜类的记载。至于北京温室的历史可以追溯到明朝中叶(公元16世纪)。许多栽培技术究竟从什么时候开始至今无法肯定,但一定比文字记载要早,这是完全可以肯定的。     

基于时序模拟的配电系统可靠性评估收敛判据

基于时序模拟的配电系统可靠性评估中,由于抽样的随机性导致求解结果的不确定性,为此,求解过程需要运用概率知识描述,可靠性指标的收敛判据也不同于常规数值迭代算法.针对配电系统的时序模拟的不确定性问题,研究了独立事件的选取,构造了独立广义事件;分析了在给定置信概率下总体均值的置信区间,得出置信区间长度与样本均值的绝对误差相关的结论,进而提出了用绝对误差描述的实用收敛判据,并且给出该置信概率下置信区间长度与给定计算精度的不等关系式.通过对RTBS测试系统的实例分析,验证了该方法的合理性与有效性.     

气相色谱法检测辐照牛肉中的碳氢化合物

利用气相色谱法分析牛肉辐照前后碳氢化合物的类型与浓度差异,建立了一种能判别辐照牛肉的鉴定方法。本试验通过正己烷溶剂萃取,Florisil柱分离和气相色谱分析,对辐照牛肉产生的6种碳氢化合物进行了定性和定量分析。研究结果表明,牛肉经辐照处理后,显著产生1,7-C16:2(1,7-十六二烯),而在未辐照的牛肉中没有检测到,因而1,7-C16:2是鉴定牛肉是否经过辐照处理的最适合标志物。

Improved growth and Cu tolerance of Cu excess-stressed white clover after inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus, Glomus intraradices, on growth and copper (Cu) tolerance of white clover (Trifolium repens) were investigated in soils with different Cu amounts. The AM inoculation increased plant biomass and the total or bound Cu concentrations in shoots and roots but decreased the total Cu in soils and the exchangeable Cu in shoots, roots and soils at all Cu levels. Mycorrhizal plants had higher levels of root phosphorus and shoot zinc (Zn) at lower Cu levels and more nitrogen and Zn in roots and potassium, calcium and magnesium in shoots and roots at all Cu addition levels. Additionally, AM inoculation enhanced urease, acid phosphatase and catalase activities in rhizosphere soils and mycorrhizal roots showed higher levels of peroxidase, catalase, proline and soluble sugar at all Cu addition levels. These results indicate that mycorrhizal white clover is potentially suitable for Cu phytoremediation based on greenhouse studies.
