长江经济带工业集聚对水环境污染的影响——基于空间计量与门槛效应的检验

经济发展与生态环境动态良性循环已经成为社会经济发展的重要议题。为实现长江经济带高质量发展，以2007—2018年长江经济带11个省市为样本，采用空间计量和面板门槛模型考察工业集聚与水环境污染之间的关系。研究表明：长江经济带各省市水环境污染具有显著的空间自相关性；长江经济带工业集聚水平和水环境污染表现出先降低后增强的“U”形变化特征，说明工业集聚水平对水环境污染的影响存在一个阈值；长江经济带工业集聚产生的规模效应和结构效应对水环境污染存在显著的双门槛效应，在不同的工业集聚水平下，规模效应和结构效应表现出不同的外部性特征；工业集聚产生的技术溢出效应对水环境污染的影响同样具有显著的双门槛作用；随着各地区工业集聚水平的提高，技术溢出效应对水环境污染的减排作用表现出先强后弱的趋势。

Pressure wave behavior and its effects on structure under In-box LOCA in a helium-cooled lead lithium blanket of hydrogen fusion reactors

The helium-cooled lead lithium (PbLi) blanket is considered as one of the candidate blanket concepts selected for the hydrogen fusion DEMO reactors and beyond, which has the advantages of simple structure, strong heat removal capacity and high tritium breeding ratio. However, due to the harsh environment such as high-energy neutron irradiation, high thermal load and great pressure gradient, there is a high possibility that one or some of the thousands of coolant channels will break in the breeding zone, which is so-called In-box Loss of Coolant Accident (In-box LOCA). When the accident occurs, the high pressure helium will rapidly inject into the lead lithium flow channel, generating a complex two-phase flow and great pressure shock effect, which may cause the peak pressure to exceed the design limit and threaten the integrity of the blanket structure. Therefore, it is of great significance to perform the transient analysis of in-box LOCA to improve the safety of the blanket and avoid the leakage of radioactive materials. In this paper, a two-way coupling model for fluid-solid interaction was established based on the ANSYS Workbench, and the model were validated through the experimental data obtained by injecting the high pressure helium gas into liquid lithium lead. Then the validated model was applied to the transient pressure wave propagation analysis and structural stress analysis of the Dual-Functional Lithium Lead (DFLL) blanket in order to explore the integrity of blanket structure under In-box LOCA. In addition, the effects of break location on pressure and structural stress was also investigated through six cases. The study found that the transient pressure in the DFLL blanket gone through three stages in any case: step rise, oscillate, and flatten out. Pressure peaks occurred during oscillations and their values were strongly dependent on the break location. The closer to the inlet/outlet, the higher the peak pressure was. The maximum pressure reached more than twice of the inlet pressure (up to ~16 MPa). As a result, the structural stress in some local areas has exceeded the allowable limits, and the corresponding suggestions for improvement have also been put forward. This study can provide guidance for safety design, operation and accident mitigation measures of helium-cooled lead lithium blankets.     

Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke during pregnancy and infancy increased the risk of upper respiratory tract infections in infants: A birth cohort study in Wuhan,China

We aimed to evaluate the association of the exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) during pregnancy and infancy with the risk of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) in infants based on a Chinese birth cohort study. Among 4178 infants who constituted the final study population, 46.8% experienced URTI in their first year of life. The hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the risk of URTI were assessed using Cox regression models. Compared with no ETS during pregnancy, continued ETS during pregnancy was independently associated with a higher risk of URTI (HR: 1.36, 95% CI: 1.13, 1.63) after adjustment for potential confounders and also associated with earlier occurrence of URTI (log-rank P = .002). The association remained consistent across the strata defined according to maternal age, number of siblings, sex, and breastfeeding. Exposure to ETS during infancy was associated with URTI only among infants who were breastfed for less than 12 months (P for interaction < 0.05).Furthermore, infants exposed to ETS during both pregnancy and infancy showed the highest HR of 1.46 (95% CI: 1.16, 1.85) for URTI. Efforts should be made to protect pregnant women and infants from the adverse effects of indoor and outdoor ETS.     

超厚板TC4钛合金电子束焊接接头应力腐蚀敏感性

针对100 mm超厚板TC4钛合金电子束焊接接头，采用慢应变速率拉伸方法评价接头在人造海水中的应力腐蚀敏感性，分析接头的显微组织和断口形貌，对接头的腐蚀机制进行研究. 结果表明，室温条件下应变速率为ε=1×10-6 s-1时，母材在海水中未表现出应力腐蚀敏感性；焊缝上部、中部和下部具有轻微应力腐蚀敏感性. 焊缝在海水中发生阳极溶解，产生氢吸附，导致裂纹的萌生. 同时氢扩散诱导α'相界及α'相内发生位错塞积，进而使裂纹在更低的应力水平下发生扩展.     

Effectiveness of English local plan SA/SEAs

Fourteen years since the implementation of the European SEA Directive, the effectiveness of the English system of Local Plan sustainability appraisals/strategic environmental assessments (SA/SEAs) is analysed, based on 15 case studies, five interviews, and questionnaires of 11 planners. Substantively, SA/SEA leads to fine-tuning of plan policy wording and a more robust choice of development sites, but to only limited wider influence on the plan. Normatively, there seems to be a direct conflict between the requirement that Local Plans must provide enough housing for ‘objectively assessed need’, and environmental protection. From a pluralist perspective SA/SEA reports are very long, and although the statutory consultees often comment on them, the public do so only infrequently. It is in the transactive dimension that the largest changes have taken place: both consultants and planners have had to do more with less. This does not yet seem to have negatively affected the other effectiveness dimensions, but may not be sustainable over time.     

A Study on Dual-Load-Zone Model of Overlying Strata and Evolution Law of Mining Stress

The changeable structure and movement law of overlying strata are the main contributor to the change of mining stress. Starting from the relevant theory of key stratum and particularly based on the theory of mine ground pressure and strata control, this research proposed a new solution to mining stress problems by establishing a dual-load-zone stratum structural model. Elastic foundation beam theory was used to solve the stress of overlying strata of the dual-load-zones with superposition method, which revised the traditional calculation method of mining stress. The abnormal increase of lead abutment pressure in the mining area was explained effectively, through which the evolution law of mining stress in the case of hard rock was obtained. The results indicate that mining stress experiences a drastic change within the range of 50 m ahead of the coal wall due to the collapse of main roof; under the influence of main key stratum and inferior key strata, the influence range of lead abutment pressure is extended up to approximately 120 m in the working face; this remarkable increase can be attributed to the excessive length of sagging zone. Results from both the dual-load-zone model experiment and field measurement demonstrate high consistency. The model can predict the influence range of abutment pressure effectively and thus guide the safety production of mining.
