腾格里沙漠南缘风积物粒度空间分布及物源指示

为探讨腾格里沙漠南缘风积物物源,基于粒度参数分析其空间分布,采用粒度端元分析并与潜在源区对比,结合常量元素法进行了多角度探究。结果表明:黄河北岸沉积物粒度较南岸粗,两岸沉积物粒度存在较明显的空间差异性。粒度空间分布差异结合风沙活动、地形特征,可表明腾格里沙漠南缘的黄河北岸为南岸沉积物的上风向源区之一; 就地球化学元素分析表明,沙漠南缘与祁连山区常量元素特征具有一定相似性,与沙漠腹地差异较大。提取4个端元,多角度分析表明端元1(峰值粒径范围是30～50 μm)为全由祁连山北麓风成沙所组成的沉积体,端元2(100～120 μm)主要由沿黄北岸风成沙和黄河二次搬运所组成。端元3(170～250 μm和15～25 μm)为沿黄以北就地起沙,端元4(300～600 μm和10～20 μm)由黄河搬运沉积物所组成。综上,可认为腾格里沙漠南部边缘区沙物质主要是由黄河、沿黄以北和祁连山北麓所提供。     

Feasibility of using FGD gypsum to conserve water and reduce erosion from an agricultural soil in Georgia

Crop production in Georgia and the Southeastern U.S. can be limited by water. Highly-weathered, drought-prone soils are susceptible to runoff and erosion. Rainfall patterns generate runoff producing storms followed by extended periods of drought during the crop growing season. Thus, supplemental irrigation is often needed to sustain profitable crop production. Increased water retention and soil conservation would efficiently improve water use and reduce irrigation amounts/costs and sedimentation, and sustain productive farm land, thus improving producer's profit margin. Soil amendments, such as flue gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum, have been shown to retain rainfall and/or irrigation water through increased infiltration while decreasing runoff (R) and sediment (E). Objectives were to quantify rainfall partitioning and sediment delivery improvements with surface applied FGD gypsum from an Ultisol managed to conventional till (CT) and to assess the feasibility of using FGD gypsum on agricultural land in southern Georgia. A field study (Faceville loamy sand, Typic Kandiudult) was established (2006, 2007) near Dawson, GA managed to CT, irrigated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). FGD gypsum application rates evaluated were 0, 1.1, 2.2, 4.5, and 9 Mg ha^− 1. Gypsum treatments and simulated rainfall (50 mm h^− 1 for 1 h) were applied to 2-m wide × 3-m long field plots (n = 3). Runoff and E were measured from each 6-m² plot (slope = 1%). FGD gypsum plots averaged 26% more infiltration (INF), 40% less R, 58% less E, 27% lower maximum R rates (R_max), and 2 times lower maximum E rates (E_max) than control plots. Values of INF and water for crop use increased, and R, E, R_max, and E_max decreased as FGD gypsum application rate increased. Values of INF, R, E, R_max, and E_max for 9 Mg ha^− 1 plots were as much as 17% greater, 35% less, 1.9 times less, 35% less, and 1.9 times less than those from other FGD gypsum plots, respectively; and 40% greater, 40% less, 2.2 times less, 52% less, and 2.9 times less than those from control plots, respectively. Applying FGD gypsum to agricultural lands is a cost-effective management practice for producers in Georgia that beneficially impacts natural resource conservation, producer profit margins, and environmental quality. Agriculture in the Southeast provides a viable market for the electric power industry to convert disposal costs of FGD gypsum into a profitable commodity.     

Fisher大间距线性分类器

作为一种著名的特征抽取方法,Fisher线性鉴别分析的基本思想是选择使得Fisher准则函数达到最大值的向量(称为最优鉴别向量)作为最优投影方向,以便使得高维输入空间中的模式样本在该向量投影后,在类间散度达到最大的同时,类内散度最小。大间距线性分类器是寻找一个最优投影矢量(最优分隔超平面的法向量),它可使得投影后的两类样本之间的分类间距(Margin)最大。为了获得更佳的识别效果,结合Fisher线性鉴别分析和大间距分类器的优点,提出了一种新的线性投影分类算法——Fisher大间距线性分类器。该分类器的主要思想就是寻找最优投影矢量wbest(最优超平面的法向量),使得高维输入空间中的样本模式在wbest上投影后,在使类间间距达到最大的同时,使类内离散度尽可能地小。并从理论上讨论了与其他线性分类器的联系。在ORL人脸库和FERET人脸数据库上的实验结果表明,该线性投影分类算法的识别率优于其他分类器。

The Japanese pulp and paper industry: an analysis of financial performance from 1991 to 2001

This article discusses the determinants of profitability expressed as return on capital among Japanese pulp and paper companies. Return on capital is measured as income before tax related to stockholders’ equity. Return on capital has been divided into profit margin and asset utilization rate. The hypothesis is that return on capital can be explained by mill size, productivity, product line, financial situation, and use of wood resources. The dataset consists of 13 larger Japanese pulp and paper companies listed in Pulp &; Paper Statistics. Data on financial performance, production, and use of wood fibers were collected for the period 1991–2001. The average return on equity for the studied companies is 4.2%. Labor productivity has increased quite significantly, from about 600 to 1,000 kg/employee and year. An econometric analysis indicates that the best model fit is found when the asset utilization rate is used as the dependent variable. Significant variables are, among others, asset utilization rate lagged one time period (?), labor productivity (+), capital productivity (?), paper production as a share of total paper and board production (?), total value of assets on the books (?) and solidity (+). This may indicate that the total value of assets on the books is large in relation to the total production of paper, paperboard and pulp.     

遗传毒性致癌物风险评估的新技术

为调查市售贝类产品中氯霉素的残留状况并对该情况进行暴露评估,2015—2017年采集贝类样品共300个,采用液质法进行检测。将结果运用@risk软件进行蒙特卡罗模拟分析,通过计算膳食摄入量和人群估计暴露量,对所得结果进行暴露边界比(margin of exposure,MOE)评价。结果显示,2015年有33个样品有检出,人群平均暴露的MOE值为15 361,按照加拿大卫生部的评价标准,属于中危害水平。高暴露人群的MOE值为5 208,属于中危害水平。2016年有3个样品有检出,人群平均暴露的MOE值为103 627,属于中危害水平。高暴露人群的MOE值为34 722,属于中危害水平。2017年未检出氯霉素,属于无危害水平。

     

Wireless tracking of cotton modules. Part 2: Automatic machine identification and system testing

The ability to map profit across a cotton field would enable producers to determine where money is being made or lost on their farms and to implement precise field management practices to facilitate the highest return possible on each portion of a field. Mapping profit requires knowledge of site-specific costs and revenues, including yield and price. Price varies site-specifically because fiber quality varies, so mapping fiber quality is an important component of profit mapping. To map fiber quality, the harvest location of individual cotton bales must be known, and thus a system to track the harvest location of cotton modules must be available. To this end, a wireless module-tracking system was recently developed, but automation of the system is required before it will find practical use on the farm. In Part 1 of this report, research to develop automatic triggering of wireless messages is described. In Part 2, research to enable the system to function with multiple harvesting machines of the same type in the same field - a common situation in commercial cotton farming - is described along with testing of the entire automated wireless module-tracking system (WMTS). An RFID system was incorporated, and it enabled the WMTS to correctly and consistently differentiate among various harvesting vehicles. The improved WMTS subsequently sent wireless messages to the correct machines when cotton transfers were made in the presence of multiple harvest machines. Overall testing proved that the automated WMTS worked largely as designed. When both complete and partial cotton basket dumps were simulated, the correct wireless-messaging decision was made 100% of the time.
