Then, the dynamic characteristics and the process of vortex and flutter generation of the segment models under different rain intensities and angles of attack are tested by considering several typical main girder sections as examples. The test results indicate that the start and end wind speeds,interval length and number of vortex vibrations remain unchanged when it is raining, rainfall will reduce the windinduced vortex response. When test rain intensity is large, the decrease of amplitude is obvious. However, after considering the rain intensity similarity in this study, all of actual maximum rain intensities after conversion approach the domestic extreme rain intensity of approximately 709 mm/h. It can be observed that rainfall has a limited influence on the dynamic characteristics of the structure and vortex vibration response. When the test rain intensity is 120 mm/h, the critical wind speed of the model flutter increases by 20%-30%. However, after considering the rain intensity similarity ratio, the influence of rainfall on the wind-induced flutter instability of the bridge girder may be ignored.展开更多

The results sh...Based on the rainfall monitoring data and high altitude meteorological data,the present situation of acid rain pollution in Nanchang City was analyzed and the forming factors of acid rain were revealed. The results showed that acid rain in Nanchang had the characteristics of high acidity and frequency,and the pH value of rainfall reduced in recent years,belonging to sulfuric acid type,and the most serious acid rain pollution appeared in autumn and winter. The pH value of rainfall went up with the improvement of rainfall grade,and the increase of rainfall quantity had diluting effect on the rainfall acidity. High altitude meteorological conditions affected acid rain obviously,when the upper wind velocity was below 7 m/s,the frequency of acid rain was higher and its pH value was lower,with serious acid rain pollution,and it showed that upper wind had diluting effect on the horizontal transport of pollutants. The frequency of acid rain became higher with stronger inversion intensity. Moreover,the surrounding industrial areas had obvious effect on the formation of acid rain. Unstable meteorological conditions were beneficial to the horizontal and vertical diffusion of pollution in the lower atmosphere,reducing the effect of induced-acidity pollutants on a region.展开更多

文摘In recent years,torrential rain events caused by extratropical cyclones(ETCs)during the boreal midsummer(July-August)in Central and Eastern China have shown an increasing trend.For instence,in August 2024,two ETCs brought large-scale heavy rainfall to North China,with daily precipitation exceeding 100 mm.Using reanalysis datasets and gridded precipitation data,the ETCs that affected Central and Eastern China during the boreal midsummer from 1981 to 2020 were objectively identified and tracked.ETCs causing precipitation were classified based on maximum daily precipitation,resulting in datasets for ETCs with torrential rain(daily precipitation exceeding 100 mm,referred to as ETC_R100)and heavy rain(daily precipitation exceeding 25 mm,referred to as ETC_R25).Comparative analysis can help highlight the characteristics of ETC_R100.This study compares the spatial distribution,movement paths,weather impacts,large-scale atmospheric circulation,and environmental conditions of these two types of precipitation-related ETCs.The following findings emerged:(1)ETC_R100 is driven by the combined forcing of upper-level troughs and warm-moist airflows at lower levels,exhibiting stronger thermal forcing than ETC_R25.(2)The moisture source for ETC_R100 are the Bay of Bengal and the Northwest Pacific,with moisture transported via the South China Sea.Compared to ETCs with nonextreme rainfall,ETC_R100 is characterized by greater atmospheric instability and better moisture conditions,resulting in higher precipitation intensity.(3)Regardless of the precipitation level,ETCs affected different regions but contributed significantly to precipitation in northern China,accounting for approximately 50%of the total precipitation.The results indicate that ETC_R100 differs significantly from ETCs with varying levels of precipitation in terms of statistical characteristics,weather impact,environmental conditions,and cyclogenesis conditions.

文摘Long-term mining activities can result in the release of heavy metals into soil,ultimately posing a threat to human health.In arid and semi-arid regions,wind-driven transport of these toxic metals from mining areas represents a primary mechanism for their spatial distribution.To evaluate pollution levels and associated health risks of eight metals,A total of 95 soil samples,corresponding 25 vegetable samples and 3 tailing samples were collected from various land types surrounding a typical Pb-Zn mine in northern China’s semi-arid region.The mean concentrations of As,Cd,Cr,Cu,Hg,Ni,Pb and Zn in soils were 62.8,0.27,29.6,11.5,0.02,14.4,49.9 and 109.5 mg/kg,respectively.Among these,As,Cd,Pb,and Zn emerged as the predominant pollutants,with some samples exceeding national risk screening values.The results of contamination factor(CF),pollution load index(PLI)and geo-accumulation index(I_(geo))indicated that heavy metals in most soils exhibited non-polluted level or slight pollution level,though localized severe contamination by As,Cd,Pb,and Zn was observed.Spatial distribution analysis demonstrated similar dispersion patterns for As,Cd,Pb,and Zn,with wind-mediated transport extending up to 2.0 km from contamination sources.Pearson’s correlation analysis and principal component analysis(PCA)suggested that As,Cd,Pb and Zn mainly originated from mining activities,and Cr,Ni,Cu and Hg derived from soil parent materials.All vegetable samples contained metal concentrations below food safety thresholds.Health risk assessment showed hazard quotient(HQ)values for individual metals below 1 across all exposure groups,indicating negligible non-carcinogenic risk.Similarly,carcinogenic risk(CR)values for As,Cd,Cr,and Pb fell within acceptable ranges.While mining activities have induced significant localized contamination,the overall affected area remains limited in arid and semi-arid regions.However,greater attention should be directed toward potential health implications from vegetable consumption in proximity to mining operations within arid and semi-arid regions.
文摘The temporal-spatial distribution and seasonal variation of the precipitation acidity in Guangxi Province were statistically analyzed by means of the data from 2003 to 2008 in 10 Stations of Acid Rain Observation in the province and the data from 1996 to 2008 in two Monitoring Spots in Nanning and Baise,respectively.The results showed that annual average pH value of precipitation was <5.6 based on the analysis of the data from 10 Stations of Acid Rain Observation in the province,among which,the data from 5 stations indicated that annual average pH value of precipitation was <4.5.Thus,it can be thought that the serious acid rain had appeared in the province.There was an obvious seasonal variation in the extent of the acidity in precipitation and the acidity of precipitation in spring and winter was heavier than that in summer and autumn.

文摘In order to investigate the effect of acid rain on photosynthetic characteristics of spring wheat,spring wheat at the jointing stage was sprayed with simulated acid rain at different pH levels of 1.5,2.5,3.5,4.5 and 5.6,and then,the photosynthetic parameters of spring wheat leaf was monitored.The results indicated that the pH value of simulated acid rain was positively and very significantly correlated with the net photosynthetic rate,stomata conductance,transpiration rate,water use efficiency and the chlorophyll relative content,whereas very significantly and negatively correlated with intercellular CO2 concentration.Due to acid rain,the net photosynthetic rate,stomata conductance,transpiration rate and the chlorophyll relative content decreased by 4.08%-67.04%,17.44%-58.44%,12.08%-48.08% and 12.16%-37.23% respectively,while intercellular CO2 concentration increased by 9.01%-14.29%.After simulated treatment with acid rain,the net photosynthetic rate had high significant positive correlation with stomata conductance,transpiration rate,water use efficiency,and the chlorophyll relative content,but high significant negative correlation with intercellular CO2 concentration.At the same time,transpiration rate was observed to be very significantly and positively correlated to stomata conductance and chlorophyll relative content,being significantly and positively correlated with water use efficiency,and very significantly and negatively correlated with intercellular CO2 concentration.In a word,the influence of simulated acid rain on photosynthetic characteristics of spring wheat leaf became more and more obvious with the increase of hydrogen ion concentration.

文摘The variation characteristics of acid rain and the relationship between the formation of acid rain and meteorological conditions were analyzed based on the observation data and meteorological records collected from acid rain observation station in Dalian over 2006-2009.The results showed that Dalian was one of the regions with strong acid rain in northern China,with the frequency of 66% and pH value of 3.49.The acidity was the strongest in fall and weakest in spring;and the maximum and minimum frequencies were in summer and in winter respectively.Frequency of acid rain was inversely proportional to wind speed and concentration of inhalable particles in Dalian;acid rain occurred easily in foggy weather due to the steady stratification and abundant moisture;continuous precipitation did not mean the reduction of acidic material in the air,and the rainfall with increased acidity in the second day accounted for 42% in continuous precipitation cases.
文摘A model based on the non-linear artificial neural network （ANN） is established to predict the thickness of the water film on road surfaces. The weight and the threshold can be determined by training test data, and the water film thickness on the road surface can be accurately predicted by the empirical verification based on sample data. Results show that the proposed ANN model is feasible to predict the water film thickness of the road surface.

文摘Based on the rainfall monitoring data and high altitude meteorological data,the present situation of acid rain pollution in Nanchang City was analyzed and the forming factors of acid rain were revealed. The results showed that acid rain in Nanchang had the characteristics of high acidity and frequency,and the pH value of rainfall reduced in recent years,belonging to sulfuric acid type,and the most serious acid rain pollution appeared in autumn and winter. The pH value of rainfall went up with the improvement of rainfall grade,and the increase of rainfall quantity had diluting effect on the rainfall acidity. High altitude meteorological conditions affected acid rain obviously,when the upper wind velocity was below 7 m/s,the frequency of acid rain was higher and its pH value was lower,with serious acid rain pollution,and it showed that upper wind had diluting effect on the horizontal transport of pollutants. The frequency of acid rain became higher with stronger inversion intensity. Moreover,the surrounding industrial areas had obvious effect on the formation of acid rain. Unstable meteorological conditions were beneficial to the horizontal and vertical diffusion of pollution in the lower atmosphere,reducing the effect of induced-acidity pollutants on a region.
文摘Ernest Hemingway is always regarded as masculinity by the critics.His early stories won wide critical praise for their stoic,understanding"masculine"study and their graphic depiction of male pursuits and attitudes.However,in addition to his male depiction in his novels,Hemingway,in fact,is also a writer who cares and shows sympathy and concern towards women.Then Cat in the Rain is one of his typical work which focuses on the aspirations of women.With analysis on the characters,plot and description of settings etc.in the story,Hemingway’s real attitude toward female is explicated.
