沙棘柔性坝拦沙效应的试验研究

在野外试验基地进行了沙棘柔性坝拦沙效应试验。基于试验数据,分析了不同含沙水流条件下沙棘柔性坝对沿程含沙量及出入口悬沙粒径分布的影响,并探讨了沙棘柔性坝的阻力特性。结果表明,沙棘柔性坝对不同含沙水流的拦沙效果显著不同,对原型沙B的拦截效果最好,其次为原型沙A,最后为模型沙。对250~1 000μm粒径范围内的原型沙拦截效果最佳,且原型沙含沙量与中值粒径之间呈现正相关关系,对100~1 000μm粒径范围内的模型沙的拦截效果较好。各不同含沙水流条件下的沿程含沙量主要受沙棘柔性坝阻力的影响。本研究有助于深入理解沙棘柔性坝的拦沙效应,并对沙棘植物柔性坝这一生态工程在砒砂岩区沟道的推广应用提供理论依据。     

Increase of N2O Fluxes in Agricultural Peat and Sandy Soil under Elevated CO2 Concentration: Concomitant Changes in Soil Moisture, Groundwater Table and Biomass Production of Phleum pratense

The effects of elevated atmospheric CO₂ concentration on soil moisture, N₂O fluxes, and biomass production of Phleum pratense were studied in the laboratory. Farmed peat and sandy soil mesocosms sown with P. pratense were fertilized with a commercial fertilizer. In peat soil 10 g N m⁻² of commercial fertilizer were added and in sandy soil 15 g N m⁻². In both experiments, soil moisture was regulated with deionized water; 18 mesocosms were tended to keep equally moist, and the other 18 were watered with equal amounts of water. Nine mesocosms from both watering treatments were grown under ambient (360 μmol mol⁻¹) CO₂ concentration and the remaining nine under doubled (720 μmol mol⁻¹) CO₂. N₂O efflux was monitored using a closed chamber technique and a gas chromatograph. The elevated supply of CO₂ increased production of above- and belowground biomass, soil moisture and N₂O fluxes, but decreased the total N content in the aboveground biomass, especially for the sandy soil. In similar water levels, N₂O efflux from the sandy soil was the same magnitude as that from the peat soil. In addition to moisture, N availability was the main limiting factor for N₂O production, but C availability also seemed to regulate the denitrification activity. In addition to an increase in C availability the increase in the N₂O efflux under the raised CO₂ concentration also required a simultaneous increase in soil moisture.     

THIRD-ORDER ASYMPTOTIC PROPERTIES OF ESTIMATORS IN GAUSSIAN ARMA PROCESSES WITH UNKNOWN MEAN

Abstract. This paper deals with the third-order asymptotic theory for Gaussian autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) processes with unknown mean μ. We are interested in the estimation of ρ = ( α₁…, α_p, β₁…, β_q ), where α ₁…, α_ρ and β ₁…, β_q are the coefficients of the autoregressive part and the moving-average part, respectively. First, we investigate the third-order asymptotic optimality of the bias adjusted maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of ρ in the presence of the nuisance parameters μ and ² (innovation variance). Next, for a Gaussian AR(1μ μ, ²), we propose a mean corrected estimator α_c1c2 of the autoregressive coefficient. We make a comparison between the bias adjusted estimator α_c1c2* and the bias adjusted MLE, in terms of their probabilities of concentration around the true value, or equivalently, in terms of their mean squared errors. Finally some numerical studies are provided in order to verify the third-order asymptotic theory.     

Hydraulic resistance of rigid polyurethane foams. II. Effect of variation of surfactant,water, and nucleating agent concentrations on foam structure and properties

Hydraulic resistance of rigid polyurethane foams to penetration by water at high pressures is studied in this work in the context of buoyancy applications. Micron sized silica particles are used as nucleating agents. The effect of the variation of the concentrations of the surfactant, water, and nucleating agent on cell structure, closed cell content, and compressive modulus, is examined. Foams have densities in the range of 145 to 165 kg/m³. At a particular water concentration, with increase in the concentration of the surfactant, the window area of the cells becomes smaller and the hydraulic resistance of the foam increases. A cell window is the lamella of the foam material that separates two adjacent cells. With increase in the concentration of water keeping surfactant concentration constant, the average window area remains almost the same but the cell window area distribution becomes wider and the hydraulic resistance of the foams decreases. Foams made with silica have smaller cell windows but lower hydraulic resistance than that of the foams made without silica. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 93: 2830–2837, 2004     

Preparation of dibasic acid-containing soy phospholipids by chemical and enzyme-catalyzed transesterification and evaluation of their surface-active properties

The preparation of dibasic acid-containing soy phospholipid was made by transesterification reaction with alkyl ester of diabasic acid with both lipase and alkoxide as a catalyst. The extent of incorporation of a dibasic acid varied with the molecular size of the dibasic acid. The extent of incorporation in soy phospholipids was 4–13% in the case of adipic acid and 9–20% in the case of sebacic acid. The surface-active properties of these modified soy phospholipids were examined and were found to be different from those of the original (unmodified) soy phospholipid. The interfacial properties such as critical micelle concentration (CMC), γ_CMC, surface excess concentration Γ_max, and minimum area per molecule (Å), and thermodynamic parameters such as standard free energy of micellization, were found to depend on the hydrophobic part of the dibasic acids.

Preparation of nano-sized silicon carbide powder using thermal plasma

Nano-sized silicon carbide (SiC) powder was prepared by thermal plasma process using silicon tetrachloride (SiCl₄) and methane (CH₄). The synthesized powder was characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy and particle size analyzer. The powder was dominated by β-SiC including some of α-SiC and free carbon species. The quality of the powder was varied with process conditions such as the molar ratio of H/Si and C/Si, and collecting positions. It was known that the conversion to SiC was mainly affected by the addition of hydrogen gas because it promoted the decomposition and reduction of SiCL. CH₄ was easily decomposed to carbon species for the formation of SiC as well as removal of impure oxygen, but excessive carbon suppressed the formation of crystalline SiC and resulted in the solid carbon contamination. The optimum ratio of H/Si was approx. 26 and that of C/Si was 1.1. For collecting positions, the powder collected at the vessel and filter was preferable to that at the reaction tube. The average size of the powder synthesized was estimated to be below 100 nm and uniform in distribution.     

断续流对旋流器油水分离效率影响的实验研究

目前,大部分井下油水分离的旋流器由地面游梁式抽油机通过抽油杆柱提供能量,这样进入旋流器流量产生断续现象。通过实验证明断续流流量的不连续性使旋流器油水分离效率下降5％以内,存在一定负影响;溢流含油浓度越高,断续流对旋流分离效率的负影响也越大,所以井下油水分离过程中,不能偏面追求过高的溢流口含油浓度,提高分流比F与入口含油浓度C_i比值,减小断续流对分离效率的影响。     

Recoverable shear strain of liquid crystal‐forming concentrated hydroxypropyl cellulose solutions

The recoverable shear strain (S_R) for the liquid crystal‐forming hydroxypropyl cellulose solutions was determined by means of a concentric cylinder rotational apparatus as functions of shear stress prior to recovery and concentration of the solutions at 30°C. S_R greatly depended on shear stress and concentration; the phase of the solution (the single phase or biphase) governed the dependences of S_R on stress and concentration. S_R increased with increasing stress for the single phase and decreased for the biphase. S_R seemed to be related to the die swell (B): S_R ∝ Bⁿ. S_R exhibited a maximum and a minimum with respect to concentration. S_R for the cellulosic cholesteric liquid crystalline solutions was greater than that for the isotropic solutions. A model was proposed for explaining the greater S_R. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 85: 865–872, 2002
