Building a research network to better understand climate governance in the Great Lakes

Climate-driven disturbances threaten the sustainability of coastal communities in the Great Lakes Basin. Because such disturbances are unpredictable, their magnitude, number and intensity are changing, and they occur at varying temporal and spatial scales. Consequently, communities struggle to respond in effective ways. The expected intensification of climate-driven disturbances will require that community capacity and governance structures match the spatial and temporal scales of these disturbances, as the most sustainable social and economic systems will be those that can respond at similar frequencies to key natural system drivers. The Climate Governance Variability in the Great Lakes Research Coordination Network (CGVG-RCN) was recently established to address questions about the relationship between climate-driven disturbances and community response. The objective of this short communication is to introduce the ideas behind the CGVG-RCN, outline its goals, and facilitate engagements and collaboration with social and natural scientists interested in social-ecological systems in the Great Lakes Basin.

本文首次将统计热力学的Ｗｅｅｋｓ－Ｃｈａｎｄｌｅｒ－Ａｎｄｅｒｓｏｎ（简称ＷＣＡ）微扰理论应用于非极性液体定容比热容和定压比热容的推算，用一些液体的ｐ－ｖ－Ｔ实验数据拟合了理论中所用ＬＪ势能函数的势能参数，并提出一个通用关联式。本文方法具有通用性，在编制的计算程序中只需输入物质的临界温度、临界比容、偏心因子等就能算出相应的比热容，工程应用十分方便。

采用不同锰源合成尖晶石LiMn2O4正极材料

The spinel LiMn2O4 cathode material was synthesized with the solid-state reaction method. Four manganese compounds including electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD), MnCO3, Mn3O4 and nano-EMD were used as Mn sources while LiOH·H2O was used as the uniform Li source. The crystal structure characteristics of these samples produced were investigated by means of XRD, SEM, particle size distribution analysis and specific surface area testing. Their electrochemical properties were also studied by comparing their specific capacity, charge and discharge efficiency and cycle performance.     

Heat capacities of polyethylene and linear fluoropolymers

Heat capacities at constant pressure, C_p, and at constant volume C_v, were calculated with the help of normal mode frequency spectra and compared to experimental data for crystalline or semicrystalline polyethylene, poly(vinyl fluoride), poly(vinylidene fluoride), polytrifluooroethylene and poly(tetrafluoroethylene). A calculation scheme using a Tarasov function for 2N skeletal vibrational modes and an approximation of the residual 7N normal modes from known data on polyethylene and polytetrafluoroethylene is developed for all homologous, linear fluoropolymers. N is the number of carbon backbone atoms of the repeating unit. Calculations can be carried out over the whole temperature range 0 K to melting. For the two theta temperatures and the constant A₀ used for C_v to C_p conversion, fluorine-concentration dependent curves are given. The relations are expected to hold also for copolymers and blends of intermediate fluorine contents. Recommended experimental (data bank) heat capacities agree to ±2.5% with the calculations.     

HPAM的相对分子量及电解质对LPS封堵性能的影响

采用微孔滤膜过滤法研究了在部分水解聚丙烯酰胺(HPAM)与交联剂柠檬酸铝(A lC it)的交联比确定的情况下,HPAM的相对分子量以及电解质对交联聚合物溶液(LPS)封堵性能的影响。结果表明,随着HPAM的相对分子质量的增大,HPAM与A lC it反应的时间增加,同时通过3μm微孔滤膜的过滤时间先增加后降低。LPS体系中电解质存在一个最佳的影响范围,当电解质(氯化钠、钙镁离子共同影响)的含量在5000~6000 mg/kg时,仍然可以得到稳定的胶态分散体系,且体系对多孔介质有较好的封堵效果。     

金安金沙江悬索桥隧道式锚碇变形破坏机制研究

隧道式锚碇的变形破坏机制涉及到结构与围岩的协同作用问题。以华丽高速公路金安金沙江悬索桥两岸隧道锚变形破坏机制为研究对象,利用工程类比法评价了其稳定性控制要素,设计了超载数值试验。根据塑性区的扩展过程确定了施工安全监测和需要采取预加固的重点部位,确定了隧道锚围岩的破坏模式。根据锚面监测点位移由mm到cm量级突变确定的两岸锚岩系统极限荷载均为6~8倍设计缆力,则锚岩系统的设计承载力取3倍设计缆力下变形安全是有保障的。丽江岸塑性区在10 P下贯通;华坪岸塑性区在14 P下贯通。设计缆力作用下,丽江岸锚碇最大位移1.5 mm、围岩1.2 mm、地表0.5 mm;华坪岸锚碇最大位移1.7 mm、围岩1.5 mm、地表0.7 mm,其响应顺序为后锚面监测点前锚面监测点锚碇中间岩体地表点,可作为后期结构及围岩安全监测布点和预警的参考,也证明当前设计缆力下变形和强度均是安全的。     

Electrochemical and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy studies of 4-phenylpyridine adsorption at the gold/solution interface

The adsorption of 4-phenylpyridine (4-PhPy) on the Au electrode was examined using conventional electrochemical techniques: cyclic voltammetry and impedance measurements and also by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) in a wide range of electrode potentials. Electrochemical results indicate the strong adsorption of 4-Phpy molecules, particularly at the positively charged Au electrode. The wide shoulder of capacity close to the pzc suggests that the composition and/or the structure of 4-Phpy monolayer change with the sign of the surface charge on the electrode. Investigation of integrity of adsorbed layer, however, indicates that adsorbed molecules do not form tight, compact monolayer even in the case of adsorption from saturated solution. SERS spectra provided evidence for gradual, potential-induced reorientation of the molecular plane with respect to the surface, from nearly vertical in the negatively charged electrode, to more flat at the positively charged metal surface.
