Exploration on ecological regulation of the reservoirs

Reservoir regulation process in the Yangtze River basin is mainly divided into two types of flood regulation and initiating benefit regulation. The present reservoir management system and operation mode are mainly for dealing with or coordinating of flood control and benefit initiation as well as benefit distribution among various beneficial functions. From the view point of river ecosystem protection, the current regulation mode has two kinds of problems ： firstly, most of the reservoir regulation plans do not consider ecosystem protection at downstream of dams and needs of environment protection in reservoir areas; secondly, integrated regulation or management of water resources is ignored. It is very necessary to improve reservoir regulation mode, bearing problems faced by regulation of the Three Gorges reservoir and issues related to cascade development and regulation in Tuojiang and Minjiang River basins in mind. In accordance with the concept of scientific development, and the philosophy of ＂ensuring a healthy Yangtze River and promoting the harmony between human and water＂, taking flood control, benefit initiation and eco-system as a whole, this paper put forward the basic consideration to improve reservoir regulation as follows ： on the basis of requirements of ecosystem protection at downstream of dams and needs of environment protection in reservoir areas, we should bring the functions of reservoir such as flood control and benefit initiation into full play, control the negative influence to the ecosystem at downstream of dams and the environment in reservoir areas in an endurable scope, and restore the ecosystem and the environment step by step. This paper put forward the relevant regulation process aiming at the idiographic problems such as protection of ecosystem at downstream of dams and environment in reservoir areas, protection of aquatic wildlife species and fish species, regulation of sediment and protection of wetland.     

Study on complexity of Sutong Bridge＇ s objectives system and its meta-synthesis management

Objectives define the boundaries of complex engineering system. It is a hard work to identify the specific objectives of a complex engineering system. The objectives system development needs a complicated process, from nix to prototype, and to final definition. The total process will cover the following course： from chaos to well-ordered; from qualitativeness to combination of quantitativeness and qualitativenss, then from qualitativeness to quantitativeness （ a recurrent process）, expert experience and theoretical science, rationality and sensibility, synthesis analysis and meta-synthesis, routinization and non-routinization. Such process is explicit in phase development yet overlapped ; mutually confined yet mutually independent ; permeated conflicts yet pregnant in harmony. This article explores the complexity of Sutong Bridge＇ s objectives development and the process of meta-synthesis in the Sutong Bridge engineering.     

China’s bioenergy industry development roadmap

Positive development of renewable energy, saving and substitution of fossil energy, promotion of the energy structure adjustment are the inevitable strategy choices of China＇ s sustainable development. This paper discussed the China＇ s bioenergy resources status, development targets and technology development roadmaps. China has 136. 140 million hm^2 of marginal land, which distribute mainly in western and northern regions. There are 1 billion t of crop residues and forestry waste annually, and 300 million t can be used to produce different kinds of bioenergies. And organic waste and manure can generate 50 billion m3 of biogas. The discussed development target indicated that it can construct a biomass oilfield with the capacity of 100 million t/year and reduce 200 million t of CO2 emission by 2020. The bioenergy technology development roadmap indicated that the bioethanol mainly uses non grain starch and hemicellulose products as raw materials in the near-term （2006 -2010）. The biodiesel technology will focus on the advanced production technology, FT diesel, liquefaction of biomass and raw material production technology.     

Mycelial fermentation and medicinal properties of a valuable medicinal fungus Cordyceps sinensis Cs-HK1

Cordyceps sinensis （Cs） or Dongchongxiacao in Chinese is a rare and precious medicinal mushroom. In this work, a Tolypocladium sp. fungus named Cs-HK1 was isolated from a natural Cs fruiting body, and its ultraviolet （UV）, infrared （IR） and high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） spectra all exhibited high degrees of matching to those of natural Cs, indicating the similarity of chemical composition. A crude polysaccharide （PS） fraction isolated from Cs-HKI fungal mycelium showed significant antitumor activity, inhibiting melanoma tumor growth in mice. The PS-treated mice showed significantly higher serum interferon-y （IFN-y） level and higher proliferation rate of lymphocytes ex vivo than the control animals, suggestive of the immunomodulatory activity of the PS fraction. In cell cultures, the PS fraction caused a significant and dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the proliferation of two cancer cell lines, B16/neu mouse melanoma and MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells, but not on normal spleen lymphocytes in vitro. Most of these bioactivities of the Cs- HK1 fungus were comparable to or even greater than those of natural Cs. The results showed that Cs-HK1 fungus may be a functional substitute for the natural Cs in health food and herbal medicine.     

A simple spectroscopic method for the quantification of gold nanoparticle number concentration in water and fetal bovine serum solutions

In this work,we developed a facile and low-cost method with sufficient sensitivity for the quantitative determination of gold nanoparticles(GNPs)number concentration in water and fetal bovine serum solutions.The Au(III)digested from GNPs was reduced to Au(I)presumably by the thiol group of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole,then the Au(I)–thiolate complex was formed,the concentration of which is determined by absorbance at 300 nm.The number concentration of GNPs can be converted using microscopic images and simple calculations.The interference of serum can be avoided in this method.The limit of detection(LOD)of GNPs was calculated as 2.1 910-12mol/L in water solution and 1.3 9 10-11mol/L in fetal bovine serum(FBS)solution.This method provides a simple and fast way to determine the concentration of GNPs,which can be in carried out in the routine laboratory practice.     

CH4 retrieval from hyperspectral satellite measurements in short-wave infrared: sensitivity study and preliminary test with GOSAT data

One of the important science requirements of monitoring atmospheric methane abundances from hyperspectral measurements is to establish a highly accurate retrieval algorithm.This paper aimed to describe a retrieval algorithm based on a series of sensitivity study with an effective and accurate forward model,which was applied to realize online calculation of absorption coefficient and backscattered solar radiance.The sensitivity study consisted of band selection,interference factors analysis,and retrieval model construction.The band selection analysis indicated that the 1.65 lm band(5,900–6,150 cm-1)associated with the 2.06 lm band(4,800–4,900 cm-1)retained more than 90%of the information content of CH4,CO2,and temperature,and more than 85%of that of H2O in the retrieval.Investigation of the interference factors showed that H2O,temperature,and CO2will cause unacceptable errors if they are not revised.This also showed that revising temperature and H2O with a profile model is more efficient than with a temperature offset and a H2O scale factor model.A preliminarily test using the Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite Level 1B spectral data indicated that most of the retrieval errors were less than 1%,which is acceptable for methane flux estimation.

The impacts of biofuels on food security and supply in China

Biofuels are the current promising alternative to fossil fuels. However, the fluctuating food prices caused by oil price led to critics to biofuels. The paper surveyed biofuels production and grain production and consumption demand, and come to the conclusion that there was a little impact of corn ethanol on international food price, and there was no impact on China＇ s food prices. China has launched non-food biofuels development strategy to use marginal lands for growing hard crops, such as sweet sorghum, tuber crops, and switchgrass etc. to produce biofuels without any impact on food security in the future.     

Inactivation of Giardia by Ozone and Its Disinfect Mechanisms

This study was to investigate the effect of ozone(O3)inactivation on Giardia in water by the fluorescence staining method.In order to elucidate the dominant mechanisms of inactivation,cell surface or inner cell components damage were comparatively examined by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).Results suggested that O3had a stronger effect on inactivating capability.Firstly,when the concentration of O3was above 2.0 mg/L and the contact time was up to 5 min,it showed a significant inactivating effect.Secondly,the effect of turbidity on inactivation was also found to be significant in synthetic water;when turbidity increased,the inactivating effect decreased.Thirdly,the inactivating rates were improved with a temperature increase from 5 to 25℃,but decreased when the temperature were out of this range.The inactivating capability of O3was stronger under acidic conditions than alkalic conditions.Lastly,when the concentration of organic matter in the reactive system was increased,probably due to the competition between Giardia and organics on O3,the inactivating rate was decreased;in addition,the cellular morphology of Giardia varied with different contact times.At contact time of 30 s,cells were rotundity and sphericity;at 60 s they became folded,underwent emboly,and burst;and at 240 s,the cell membrane of Giardia shrinked and collapsed completely.

This paper presents a new method for the system identification of the channel roughness for the water di- version projects. According to the principle of hydraulics, the function relationship among channel roughness n, roughness height ks and hydraulic radius R is established, and then a linear model is deduced by means of the mathematical transformation to make use of the least square method for identification. Finally, based on the proto- type observation data from the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and considering the influence of channel lengths, cross-section shapes and bottom slopes, etc, a universal formula is obtained for calculation of channel roughness by the system identification.     

Influence of Rare Earth Elements on Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Resistance of Cu-15Ni Alloy

In order to improve the mechanical property and Cl-+S2-corrosion resistance of B15 copper-nickel alloy,Cu-15Ni-xRE(x:0-0.1%by weight)alloy was prepared by adding rare earth(RE)in melted Cu-15Ni alloy using metal mould casting method.Optical microscopy(OM),electronic tensile testing machine,X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscope(SEM),and electrochemical testing system were used to analyze mechanical property,corrosion resistance property,and surface microstructure of different treatment samples.The results of OM and tensile testing show that the RE addition can effectively deoxidize the alloy melt and the microstructure of the alloy changes from coarse dendrite to small equiaxed grain.By addition of 0.05%RE,the tensile strength and elongation of Cu-15Ni alloys are improved from 294 MPa to 340MPa,and 8%to 33.5%respectively.The results of electrochemical testing show that the corrosion resistance of Cu-15Ni alloy is greatly improved by adding proper amount of RE,whereas excess addition of RE worsens the corrosion resistance.The optimum RE content was about 0.05%by weight.In comparison with the alloy without RE,the corrosion potential and corrosion current density of Cu-15Ni alloy containing proper RE decreased by about-0.28 V and 70A/cm2,respectively.     

A method to compress vibration signals using wavelet packet transformation combined with sub-band vector quantization

A novel compression method for mechanical vibrating signals,binding with sub-band vector quantization （SVQ） by wavelet packet transformation （WPT） and discrete cosine transformation （DCT） is proposed.Firstly,the vibrating signal is decomposed into sub-bands by WPT.Then DCT and adaptive bit allocation are done per sub-band and SVQ is performed in each sub-band.It is noted that,after DCT,we only need to code the first components whose numbers are determined by the bits allocated to that sub-band.Through an actual signal,our algorithm is proven to improve the signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） of the reconstructed signal effectively,especially in the situation of lowrate transmission.     

Enhancing Phosphorous Recovery in a Novel Biofilter System

Developing new techniques to remove and recover phosphorous simultaneously from wastewaters is very important for sustainable utilization of phosphorous resource and prevention of eutrophication. The feasibility of phosphorus bioaccumulation in a novel continuous alternating anaerobic /aerobic biofilter and benefits of such accumulation for its further recovery as magnesium ammonia phosphate （MAP） were studied. The system was operated for seven months and employed the atomic absorption spectrophotometer （AAS） method to analyze the distribution change of magnesium and calcium with phosphate in the biofilter during that period. The benefits of utilizing the biofilter system to accumulate phosphorous ＆ magnesium and suppress calcium simultaneously to phosphorous recovery as MAP were explained with the aid of chemical equilibrium models. The improved phosphorus recovery from 42% to 82% was approved in the recovery experiments and the recovery products mainly as MAP were evidenced and characterized with scanning electron microscopy （SEM） . The study provides references for designing and operating the novel alternating anaerobic /aerobic biofilter for phosphorus bioaccumulation and recovery.

Semileptonic decays B→D~(*) lυ in the perturbative QCD factorization approach

In this paper,we study the B→D~(*) l-l -ι semileptonic decays and calculate the branching ratios B(B→D~(*) l-l -ι) and the ratios R(D~(*)) and R_D~( l,s) by employing the perturbative QCD(pQCD)factorization approach.We find that(a)for R(D)and R(D*)ratios,the pQCD predictions are R(D)=0.430-0.026?0.021,R(D*)=0.301±0.013 and agree well with BaBar’s measurements of ReD e?T T;(b)for the newly defined R_D~1 and R_D~s ratios,the pQCD predictions are R_D~l=0.450-0.051+0.064 and R_D~s=0.642-0.070+0.081,which may be more sensitive to the QCD dynamics of the considered semileptonic decays than R(D~(*)) and should be tested by experimental measurements.
