We created land use regression （LUR） models for SO2, NO2 and PMI0 for Tianjin, China. Traffic volumes, road networks, land use data, population density, meteorological conditions, physical conditions and satellite-derived greenness, brightness and wetness were used for predicting SOa, NO2 and PMt0 concentrations. We incorporated data on industrial point sources to improve LUR model performance. In order to consider the impact of different sources, we calculated the PSIndex, LSIndex and area of different land use types （agricultural land, industrial land, commercial land, residential land, green space and water area） within different buffer radii （1 to 20 kin）. This method makes up for the lack of consideration of source impact based on the LUR model. Remote sensing-derived variables were significantly correlated with gaseous pollutant concentrations such as SO2 and NO2. R2 values of the multiple linear regression equations for SO2, NO2 and PM10 were 0.78, 0.89 and 0.84, respectively, and the RMSE values were 0.32, 0.18 and 0.21, respectively. Model predictions at validation monitoring sites went well with predictions generally within 15% of measured values. Compared to the relationship between dependent variables and simple variables （such as traffic variables or meteorological condition variables）, the relationship between dependent variables and integrated variables was more consistent with a linear relationship. Such integration has a discernable influence on both the overall model prediction and health effects assessment on the spatial distribution of air pollution in the city region.展开更多

In order to analyze the wave components and the propagating properties of ship seismic wave, the numerical calculation of synthetic seismograms on seafloor aroused by a low frequency point sound source is carried out using a wave number integration technique combined with inverse Fourier transform. According to the numerical example of hard seafloor, the time series of seismic wave on seafloor are mostly composed of interface waves and normal mode waves. Each normal mode wave has a well defined low cut-off frequency, while the interface wave doesn't have. The frequency dispersion of normal mode wave is obvious when frequency is lower than 100Hz, while the interface wave is dispersive only in the infra-sound frequency range. The time series of seismic wave is dominated by the interface wave when the source frequency is less than the minimal cut-off frequency of normal mode wave.展开更多

The convective diffusion equation is reduced to describe the suggested problem. The final differential equation is solved using Laplace transforms and ADP concentration profiles around the source are obtained. Thrombi of 5 to 20 μm<sup>3</sup> containing platelets and a range of red blood cells (RBCs) (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) concentrations are used to apply the model. Reported ADP concentrations in the literature are used and its dynamic release from the point source is calculated. Results suggest that RBC chemical contribution to platelet aggregation in the bulk is much less than that of platelet (almost) negligible. However, the physical effect of RBCs is dominant in the bulk through augmentation of released ADP and platelets diffusivities. Moreover, the chemical contribution reported in previous studies is suggested to be as a result of interaction of RBC with the surface under the influence of shear stresses in the boundary region.展开更多

The stages involved in the development of the point source method, an offshoot of the new hypothesis, are presented, Previous results of experiments on multiple circular jets in a stagnant environment justify the method of superposition. As a prelude to discussion of multiple jets in a co-flowing stream, results on the excess-velocity decay, the growth of the shear layer, and the dilutions for a single jet based on Reichardt＇s hypothesis are presented.

We find that the CC method is a powerful tool to examine the WMAP foreground residuals which can be further cleaned accord- ingly. Evident foreground signals are found in the WMAP foreground cleaned maps and the Tegmark cleaned map. In this process 101 point sources are detected, and 26 of them are new sources additional to the originally listed WMAP 208 sources. We estimate the flux of these new sources and verify them by another method. As a result, a revised mask file based on the WMAP first year data is produced by including these new sources.展开更多

A rat model of hyperuricemia was developed by intragastric administration of adenine and ethambutol. This experiment last for 90 d in total. Treatment groups underwent 3 courses of acupuncture. Each course involved a total of 10 interventions(one intervention every second day) with each intervention lasting15 min. There was a break for 10 d between courses. SUA and ALP were analyzed using an automatic biochemical analyzer and XOD was analyzed using immunofluorescence.RESULTS: Compared with the blank group, SUA and XOD levels in the model group were significantly higher and the renal index significantly improved. Compared with the model group, SUA and XOD levels in the three treatment groups decreased and the renal index significantly improved.When the three treatment groups were compared,the Mu-acupoint group showed the greatest decreases in SUA and XOD levels, followed by the Yuan-acupoint group. There was no significant difference in kidney index among the three treatment groups. There was no significant difference in ALP levels among the groups.CONCLUSION: The three treatments showed significantly reduced SUA and XOD levels compared with the control groups, possibly suggesting reduced renal damage.展开更多

The influence of emission control policy （emission reduction targets in the national ＂China＇s 12th Five-Year Plan （2011-2015）＂） on the air quality in the near future over an important industrial city of China, Xuanwei in Yunnan Province, was studied by applying the AERMOD modeling system. First, our analysis demonstrated that the AERMOD modeling system could be used in the air quality simulation in the near future for SO2 and NOx under average meteorology but not for PM10. Second, after evaluating the simulation results in 2008 and 2015, ambient concentration of SO2, NOx and PM10 （only 2008） were all centered in the middle of simulation area where the emission sources concentrated, and it is probably because the air pollutions were source oriented. Last but not least, a better air quality condition will happen under the hypothesis that the average meteorological data can be used in near future simulation. However, there are still heavy polluted areas where ambient concentrations will exceed the air quality standard in near future. In spatial allocation, reduction effect of SO2 is more significant than NOx in 2015 as the contribution of SO2 from industry is more than NOx. These results inspired the regulatory applications of AERMOD modeling system in evaluating environmental pollutant control policy展开更多

The study of the focal mechanisms of different seismic sources is the prerequisite and basis for forecasting rock burst by microseismic monitoring technology. Based on the analysis on the mechanism and fracture course of coal pillars where rock bursts occur mostly, the equivalent point source model of the seismicity caused by a coal pillar was created. Given the model, the seismic displacement equation of a coal pillar was analyzed and the seismic mechanism was pointed out by seismic wave theory. The course of the fracture of the coal pillar was simulated closely in the laboratory and the equivalent microseismic signals of the fractures of the coal pillar were acquired using a TDS-6 experimental system. The results show that, by the pressure and friction of a medium near the seismic source, both a compression wave and a shear wave will be emitted and shear fracture will be induced at the moment of breakage. The results can be used to provide an academic basis to forecast and prevent rock bursts or tremors in a coal pillar.展开更多

文摘We apply a Cross-Correlation （CC） method developed previously for detecting gamma-ray point sources to the WMAP first year data by using the Point-Spread Function of WMAP and obtain a full sky CC coefficient map. We find that the CC method is a powerful tool to examine the WMAP foreground residuals which can be further cleaned accord- ingly. Evident foreground signals are found in the WMAP foreground cleaned maps and the Tegmark cleaned map. In this process 101 point sources are detected, and 26 of them are new sources additional to the originally listed WMAP 208 sources. We estimate the flux of these new sources and verify them by another method. As a result, a revised mask file based on the WMAP first year data is produced by including these new sources.

文摘OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of needling the Shu, Yuan, and Mu acupoints on serum uric acid(SUA), xanthine oxidase(XOD), and alkaline phosphatase(ALP) levels and the kidney index in a rat model of gout and hyperuricemia.METHODS: Fifty rats were randomly divided into five groups: blank, model, Shu-acupoint, Yuan-acupoint, and Mu-acupoint groups. A rat model of hyperuricemia was developed by intragastric administration of adenine and ethambutol. This experiment last for 90 d in total. Treatment groups underwent 3 courses of acupuncture. Each course involved a total of 10 interventions(one intervention every second day) with each intervention lasting15 min. There was a break for 10 d between courses. SUA and ALP were analyzed using an automatic biochemical analyzer and XOD was analyzed using immunofluorescence.RESULTS: Compared with the blank group, SUA and XOD levels in the model group were significantly higher and the renal index significantly improved. Compared with the model group, SUA and XOD levels in the three treatment groups decreased and the renal index significantly improved.When the three treatment groups were compared,the Mu-acupoint group showed the greatest decreases in SUA and XOD levels, followed by the Yuan-acupoint group. There was no significant difference in kidney index among the three treatment groups. There was no significant difference in ALP levels among the groups.CONCLUSION: The three treatments showed significantly reduced SUA and XOD levels compared with the control groups, possibly suggesting reduced renal damage.

文摘Point source CO_(2) capture(PSCC)is crucial for decarbonizing various industrial sectors,while direct air capture(DAC)holds promise for removing CO_(2) directly from the air.Sorbents play a critical role in both technologies,with their performances,efficiency,cost,etc.,largely depending on which type is used(physical or chemical).Solid amine sorbents(SAS)employed in the chemical adsorption of CO_(2) are suitable for both PSCC and DAC.SAS offer significant advantages over liquid amines such as monoethanolamine(MEA),due to their ability to perform cyclic adsorption–desorption with much lower energy requirement.The environmental concern associated with MEA can be mitigated by SAS.Support materials have a significantly important role in stabilizing amine and enhancing stability and kinetics;varieties of support materials have been screened at a laboratory scale.One promising support material is a silica gel(SG),which is commercially available and attractive for designing cost-effective sorbents for large-scale CO_(2) capture.Various impregnation methods such as physical adsorption and covalent functionalization have been employed to functionalize silica surfaces with amines.This review provided a comprehensive critical analysis of SG-based SAS for CO_(2) capture.We discussed and evaluated them in terms of their adsorption capacity,adsorption,and desorption conditions,and the kinetics involved in these processes.Finally,we proposed a few recommendations for further development of low-cost,lower carbon footprint SAS for large-scale deployment of CO_(2) capture technology.

文摘High-rise buildings form deep urban street canyons and restrict the dispersion of vehicle emissions,posing severe health risks to the public by aggravating roadside air quality.Field measurements are important for understanding the dispersion process of tailpipe emissions in street canyons,while a major challenge is the lack of a suitable tracer gas.Carbon dioxide(CO_(2)),which is safe to the public and inexpensive to obtain,can be reliably measured by existing gas analysers.This study investigated the suitability of using CO_(2)as a tracer gas for characterising vehicle emission dispersion in a real-world street canyon.The tracer gas was released via a line or point source,whose dispersion was characterised by a sensors network comprising low-cost air quality sensors.The results showed that the CO_(2)contained in the exhaust gas of a test vehicle itself had unmeasurable effect at roadsides.Both the line and point sources produced obvious CO_(2)level elevations at approximately 30 s after the test vehicle passed by.In addition,for both line and point sources,the CO_(2)elevations were much more distinct at the roadside next to tailpipe exit than the opposite side,and were higher at 0.8 m than 1.6 m above the ground.The present study demonstrated that using CO_(2)as a tracer gas is feasible for investigating vehicle emission dispersion in real-world street canyons.Future studies are needed to improve the gas release rate of the developed tracer gas systems for more reliable measurements and larger street canyons.

文摘In this study,a seismic hazard algorithm was developed,coupled with a multi-source model.The algorithm can calculate the seismic hazard of 2D planar sources and 3D fault sources.A point source model is used to calculate the 2D planar potential seismic source by discretizing the potential seismic source into grid points which represent seismic sources.In contrast,a rupture surface model is used to calculate the 3D fault source so as to account for the influence of rupture scale in large earthquakes.The corresponding computational software was developed in Java and was tested on a study area 39.2°N-40.4°N and 116.6°E-118.7°E;the Tangshan and Xiadian faults were used to construct the fault source.Compared with the hazard results obtained using a point source model to calculate a 2D planar potential seismic source,the hazard results will be higher when a rupture surface model is used to calculate a 3D fault source.Moreover,a lower exceedance probability corresponds to a greater contribution rate of the fault source to the hazard and a greater seismic hazard closer to the fault.The algorithm can be used for seismic hazard analysis and can serve as a reference for the development of next-generation methods for zoning areas based on seismic ground motion.

文摘Air quality model can be an adequate tool for future air quality prediction, also atmospheric observations supporting and emission control strategies responders. The influence of emission control policy （emission reduction targets in the national ＂China＇s 12th Five-Year Plan （2011-2015）＂） on the air quality in the near future over an important industrial city of China, Xuanwei in Yunnan Province, was studied by applying the AERMOD modeling system. First, our analysis demonstrated that the AERMOD modeling system could be used in the air quality simulation in the near future for SO2 and NOx under average meteorology but not for PM10. Second, after evaluating the simulation results in 2008 and 2015, ambient concentration of SO2, NOx and PM10 （only 2008） were all centered in the middle of simulation area where the emission sources concentrated, and it is probably because the air pollutions were source oriented. Last but not least, a better air quality condition will happen under the hypothesis that the average meteorological data can be used in near future simulation. However, there are still heavy polluted areas where ambient concentrations will exceed the air quality standard in near future. In spatial allocation, reduction effect of SO2 is more significant than NOx in 2015 as the contribution of SO2 from industry is more than NOx. These results inspired the regulatory applications of AERMOD modeling system in evaluating environmental pollutant control policy

文摘As a regional, real-time and dynamic method, microseismic monitoring technology is quite an appropriate technology for forecasting geological hazards, such as rock bursts, mine tremors, coal and gas outbursts and can even be used to prevent or at least reduce these disasters. The study of the focal mechanisms of different seismic sources is the prerequisite and basis for forecasting rock burst by microseismic monitoring technology. Based on the analysis on the mechanism and fracture course of coal pillars where rock bursts occur mostly, the equivalent point source model of the seismicity caused by a coal pillar was created. Given the model, the seismic displacement equation of a coal pillar was analyzed and the seismic mechanism was pointed out by seismic wave theory. The course of the fracture of the coal pillar was simulated closely in the laboratory and the equivalent microseismic signals of the fractures of the coal pillar were acquired using a TDS-6 experimental system. The results show that, by the pressure and friction of a medium near the seismic source, both a compression wave and a shear wave will be emitted and shear fracture will be induced at the moment of breakage. The results can be used to provide an academic basis to forecast and prevent rock bursts or tremors in a coal pillar.
