A short communication on growing Jatropha in Oman

A stripping technique has been used to cencentrate selected hydrocarbons present in water samples at the parts per billion level for analysis by gas chromatography. The chromatograms of hydrocarbons thus stripped from several different water samples show similarities. Washing out of atmospheric pollutants by rainfall is postulated as an explanation of these results. This hypothesis is supported by a comparison of the data with those for trace atmospheric analysis. The comparison shows that the same compounds are present in similar relative amounts both in water samples and the atmosphere. After a period of rain the atmospheric concentrations decrease whilst the water bound concentrations increase.     

Batch adsorption of organic pollutants from oxidation pond effluents using fly ashes

The batch shaking adsorption study was conducted to determine the potential of fly and volcanic ashes in removing organic pollutants from oxidation pond effluents. Factors affecting organic pollutant removals, such as concentrations and sizes of fly and volcanic ashes, initial pond effluent organic concentrations, washed and unwashed conditions of fly and volcanic ashes, were investigated. The TOC (total organic carbon) removal efficiency varied from 30 to 58 percent. The organic removal efficiency increased with increasing ash concentrations, with decreasing initial pond effluent organic concentrations and with decreasing sizes of ashes.

国家的门脸儿——南非使领馆设计

国家强大了!国人有钱了!经过30年的快速发展,中国在世界的地位发生了巨大的变化,中国人在外国人面前腰杆也挺起来了.然而在人们对中国经济的飞跃发展充满好奇和羡慕的同时,也对中国人处事态度的变化产生疑虑和担心.外交使团代表着国家的风范,使领馆建筑也代表着国家的形象.因此,设计使领馆建筑多少担负着表达中国精神和传递文化品味的重任.9年前我们有幸承担了中国驻南非使领馆的设计工作,在创作中得到外交部和使馆各级领导的大力支持,他们彬彬有礼的作风、既相互尊重又坚持原则的办事态度以及对国际文化交流的设想,给了我们很大的启发和激励,使我们明确了尊重环境、和谐内敛、追求精致典雅文化气质的创作思路,设计工作由此顺利展开.     

高强混凝土过火温度与微观结构变化关系研究

以C60混凝土为材料制作试块,将其在指定升温曲线下进行过火试验,并用热电偶测量试块内部的温度场.过火试验结束后,在混凝土试块的不同位置取样进行扫描电子显微镜观测和XRD图谱分析,推测试块取样位置的过火最高温度.将推测温度同热电偶实测的温度进行对比,吻合较好.这证明火灾后通过对混凝土梁、柱、墙等构件取样进行扫描电子显微镜观测和XRD分析可以得知其过火的最高温度,从而为火灾后评估工作提供可靠的数据支持.
