A model of ammonia volatilisation from a dairy farm: an examination of abatement strategies

A model (MAST) to calculate the mass flow of NH₃ through amodel dairy farm has been developed. Updated emission factors for UKagriculturewere used to examine different abatement strategies available for a typicaldairy farm. A range of annual NH₃ emissions was calculated for bothslurry and FYM based dairy systems. Emission for the slurry based system ranged between 27 kg NH₃-N ha^–1 yr^–1, achieved using a combination of abatementstrategies, and 107 kg NH₃-N ha^–1 yr^–1, calculated for a worst casescenario. For FYM, this range was between 33 and 86 kg NH₃-Nha^–1 yr^–1. The greatest reductionswereachieved by manipulating options linked to fertiliser usage and manureapplication.

长江口不同河段表层细颗粒泥沙絮凝特性

利用长江口的现场观测资料分析河口不同区段表层细颗粒泥沙絮凝特性及其影响因素。结果表明:在河口上段水域,流速对絮凝表现为破坏作用,盐度是"制约"条件,流速和浊度对絮团影响明显,絮团平均粒径约为40.69mm,是分散粒径的4倍左右;口门最大浑浊带水域絮团峰值出现在憩流或者中等流速处,高盐度抑制、低盐度促进絮团生长,小潮时流速影响最明显、大潮时则是盐度,絮团平均粒径小潮为28.54mm、大潮35.17mm,是分散粒径2~3倍左右;北港口外,絮团生长或者破碎频繁,流速表现出促进作用,盐度有抑制作用,盐度对絮团影响最大,絮团平均粒径约为110.36mm,是分散粒径的18倍左右。     

Outlook on fertilizer use efficiency in the tropics

In this paper efficiency of applied fertilizers under tropical conditions is examined. Understanding of the fertilizer efficiency is particularly important for the developing countries mainly because there is need for enhancement of crop yields at a reduced cost. Many of the soil, plant and climatic factors of the tropical regions that contribute to the efficiency of the applied fertilizers have been discussed. Many of the tropical soils are acidic in nature and in these soils efficiency of applied fertilizer is relatively poor, mainly because plant roots are unable to grow and function to their fullest extent in utilizing the soils available nutrients. To enhance yield potentials there is need for understanding of interaction between crop species and soil and climatic variables. Incorporation and adoptation of a suitable application time can greatly enhance efficiency of urea form of nitrogen. Research findings in tropical soils have shown that an initial broadcast application of P and subsequent band treatment is more effective than either method of application alone. Current crop yields in tropical countries are far below the known yield potentials. Such low production potentials are attributed to the lack of suitable crop germplasms and understanding of improved agronomic practices. Intensification of research activities in fertilizer use efficiency in tropical countries is suggested.Senior author formerly was a Research Advisor to EMBRAPA/IICA/World Bank Program in Brazil.     

金沙江典型水库水温影响因素敏感性分析

在拱坝温度应力计算等领域,库水温是重要的边界条件,对其计算精度要求较高,尤其对于高拱坝上游库水温而言,需要进行详细研究。库水温的影响因素较多,如河道的类型、水库的来水流量、来水温度、气象条件等,如何合理考虑各项因素对库水温分布的影响,对于计算的精确度意义重大。利用横向平均的二维水动力模型来研究金沙江上向家坝、溪洛渡、白鹤滩、乌东德等4座水动力特征相似水库的水温时空动态分布,并以典型水库溪洛渡为例,对该水库的来水流量、来水温度和气象条件等因素进行敏感性分析。研究成果可为后续几座水库的水温计算分析提供参考。     

昭通横江流域年径流预测

针对昭通横江由南到北贯穿昭通全境,水资源量丰富,但南北差异大,南部少、北部多的特点,根据流域内水文站实测年径流、大气环流指数、海温指数及其他指数等资料系列,采用多元回归分析法拟合1981—2010年径流,建立了预测模型,验证、预测分析了2011—2016年径流量。结果表明:干流控制站预测精度高于干流上段及支流代表站,水利工程建设等人类活动影响是导致出现这样结果的主要原因;多元回归分析在横江流域径流预测中具有一定的适应性,但因指标的差异及相关参数可获取性的差异,预测结果存在区域间、等级间的差别。     

Playing vibrotactile music: A comparison between the Vibrochord and a piano keyboard

A novel vibrotactile musical input device called the Vibrochord, which is designed to deliver patterns of vibration to the skin, not to the ear, through the use of a vibrotactile display called the Emoti-Chair, is evaluated using proposed evaluation frameworks. Findings show that the mixture of frameworks used in this study provided valuable insight into the design of this novel musical device. Results obtained through the implementation of a mixture of these frameworks show that the Vibrochord facilitated an increased accuracy rate over the traditional piano keyboard, when inexperienced vibrotactile musicians tried to repeat vibrotactile patterns or “melodies”.

一种融合多帧ICP和图优化的算法研究

当前基于迭代最近点拼接的同时定位与建图算法,存在误差积累、无法满足大范围定位精度的缺陷。为此,提出一种融合多帧迭代最近点和图优化的算法。在时域上处理点云拼接问题,将单帧迭代最近点算法推广到多帧进行最近点迭代,提取同一地点在不同时刻的数据特征,形成多个封闭循环,再运用基于最小二乘的图优化方法对点云拼接后的全网数据进行全局优化,消除累计误差,提升整体的定位精度。采用鲁巷和密歇根的数据进行测试,结果表明,该方法在一定程度上减少了匹配误差,平均误差为1.0m,最小误差为0.2m,可以满足大范围同步定位与建图的精度需求。
