THE INCREASING EFFECTS OF ZEBRA MUSSELS ON WATER INSTALLATIONS IN ENGLAND

The zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, is a major biofouling pest of water treatment works, irrigation systems and power stations in Europe and North America. This paper documents current problems associated with zebra mussels in English waterworks. Questionnaires and manual surveys conducted between 2001 and 2003 have revealed that over 30 water treatment works in England suffer problems associated with zebra mussels. Hundreds of tonnes of mussels are being removed each year from raw water intakes, pipelines and reservoirs. Problems have increased in. the last five years, due to a spread in the range of zebra mussels around England and the cessation of chemical treatment at the intakes of many treatment facilities during the 1990s. The importance of taking control of zebra mussels into account in planning new water supply schemes is highlighted.     

An Independent Perception of Regulation in Practice

The paper reviews the regulation of water companies in England and Wales since 1989 by reference to the historical regulation of utilities in these countries. It considers how comparative competition, service standards and charging arrangements are developing. Particular mention is made of the debates over rates of return and household metering. The conclusion is that regulation, to be effective and appropriate, must be capable of evolution.

低温空气源热泵的现状与发展

热泵作为一种节能技术受到了世界各国的普遍重视，而空气源热泵可从环境大气中吸取丰富的低品位能量，使用方便，安装费用较低，因此，空气源热泵成为热泵诸多型式中应用最为广泛的一种。但是，空气源热泵的应用范围受到气候条件的约束。随着室外温度的降低，用户的需热量不断增加。当室外气温很低时，空气源热泵的制热量不能满足用户采暖要求。同时，随着压缩机压力比的增加，其COP急剧下降，排气温度迅速升高，从而导致压缩机不能正常运行甚至损坏。国内外学者针对这样的问题提出了不同的解决方案。通过对一些低温空气源热泵研究成果的分析比较，对更好地促进空气源热泵技术的发展具有积极意义。

Method to Monitor Helicopter Rotor Fault Using Diagnostic Matrix

An efficient method for helicopter rotor fault diagnosis was proposed using diagnostic matrix and its software framework was developed.The diagnostic matrix was extracted by the way of simulating the quantitative models of damaged and undamaged rotor systems.The conflicts were recognized by the virtual symptom sensor based on the dependencies between symptoms and faults.Diagnostic candidates were generated by the Boolean hitting algorithm.The proposed method provides multi-fault real-time diagnostic capabil...
