不同降水强度4种草地群落土壤呼吸通量变化特征

利用静态暗箱法, 对内蒙古锡林河流域沿降水梯度4种半干旱草地类型进行了连续2年的野外定位试验, 对比研究了沿降水梯度4种不同草地类型土壤呼吸通量的变化特征, 统计分析了水热因子对草地土壤呼吸通量特征的可能影响, 并建立了土壤呼吸通量与水热因子间的数值关系模式, 同时利用野外连续完整的观测数据对不同草地类型土壤CO₂年排放量分别进行了估算. 结果表明: 土壤呼吸通量存在明显的季节变化规律, 沿降水梯度各草地类型土壤呼吸通量的季节变化型式基本相同, 各草地群落土壤呼吸均以春末和夏季较高, 秋冬季排放量较低, 不同草地类型冬季均观测到土壤呼吸的负通量, 对其机制的进一步研究有利于对土壤年呼吸总量的准确估算; 沿降水梯度4种草地类型土壤年(或生长季)呼吸量均沿降水梯度递减, 表现为贝加尔针茅草原>羊草草原>大针茅草原>克氏针茅草原; 不同草地类型土壤呼吸通量在植物生长季与0~10 cm以及10~20 cm土壤含水量均呈不同程度的正相关, 而与气温和表层土壤温度的相关性较弱, 4种草地类型生长季内土壤表层含水量的变化通常能解释土壤呼吸通量变异的70.2%~94.7%, 而在植物非生长季, 土壤呼吸通量更多地受气温及土壤表层地温的限制, 温度条件的变化能解释土壤呼吸通量变化的70%以上.     

RESEARCH ON REUSE OF PAPERMAKING LIGNIN-CONVERSION OF LIGNIN TO BTX BY CATALYTIC PYROLYSIS IN A POWDER PARTICLE FLUIDIZED BED

INTRODUCTIONPlant consists essentially of three main polymers:lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose, which are themost abundant and renewable hydrocarbon resourceson the earth. The annual yield of rice straw, wheatstraw, bagasse, reed, and bamboo in our country hasexceeded 1 billion tons. 30% of the yield of ricestraw and wheat straw are used for papermaking, which occupy 70-80% of the raw material. However, it is the difficulty in papermaking waste liquid treatment as well as the lack of c…

锥柱式桩基础明挖基坑回填土回冻过程模型试验研究

结合工程实际,通过室内模型试验方法,研究锥柱式桩基础明挖基坑回填土在模拟实际环境温度条件下的回冻过程.结果表明,在模拟平均温度为-2.71℃的环境温度条件下,正温极值时刻表层土体融化深度约6.1 cm,回填土冻结深度随着冻融次数的增加而增厚,经历13次冻融循环,冻结层厚度达20.0 cm;桩基沿着水平向和纵向对回填土回冻过程产生影响,但其影响范围有限;土体和桩基与空气界面温度存在差异,桩基和空气界面处温度接近低温试验箱内空气温度,土体和空气界面处与空气温度差别较大,正温极值状态,空气温度高于土表温度5.0℃,负温极值状态,空气温度低于土表温度6.7℃.试验结果有助于进一步认识此类桩基回填土实际回冻过程,为确定模型试验控温条件及数值模拟边界条件提供参考.     

Nanoengineering of amino - functionalized mesoporous silica nanospheres as nanoreactors

Selective functionalization of mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNs) is crucial for nanoengineering of MSNs. Herein, we have combined “surface-protected etching strategy” and “cationic surfactant assisted etching strategy” to prepare functionalized MSNs with externally attached amino groups. The externally attached NH2 groups endow the catalysts with excellent catalytic performance for nitroaldol reaction between nitromethane and benzaldehyde. In addition, those NH2-MSNs can also be used to support gold nanoparticles, which display very good catalytic performance for reduction of 4-nitrophenol. It can be envisioned that the synthesis protocol developed in this work could also be extended to nanoengineered MSNs, which provides opportunities for nanoreactors design.     

技术转移:企业资助的学术发明对创新的促进

<正>一般认为企业资助的学术研究对其他人来说是不太容易获取且用处不大的,布莱恩D.怀特及其同事提出的数据对这个看法提出了挑战。政府长期以来一直鼓励大学—企业之间的合作,以期对可以带来工作机会、强化投资并生产出改善生活质量产品的创新进行激励。同时,政府在科学上预算的收缩迫使大学通过其他途径寻求经费支持。根据美国国家科学基金会的统计,2012年由企业提供的科研经费只占到美国研究型大学年度科研经费的5%(大约32亿美元)。     

Enhanced performance of nano-sized SiC reinforced Al metal matrix nanocomposites synthesized through microwave sintering and hot extrusion techniques

In the present study, nano-sized SiC (0, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 vol%) reinforced aluminum (Al) metal matrix composites were fabricated by microwave sintering and hot extrusion techniques. The structural (XRD, SEM), mechanical (nanoindentation, compression, tensile) and thermal properties (co-efficient of thermal expansion- CTE) of the developed Al-SiC nanocomposites were studied. The SEM/EDS mapping images show a homogeneous distribution of SiC nanoparticles into the Al matrix. A significant increase in the strength (compressive and tensile) of the Al-SiC nanocomposites with the addition of SiC content is observed. However, it is noticed that the ductility of Al-SiC nanocomposites decreases with increasing volume fraction of SiC. The thermal analysis indicates that CTE of Al-SiC nanocomposites decreases with the progressive addition of hard SiC nanoparticles. Overall, hot extruded Al 1.5 vol% SiC nanocomposites exhibited the best mechanical and thermal performance as compared to the other developed Al-SiC nanocomposites.     

Sonochemical synthesis of nanostructured nickel hydroxide as an electrode material for improved electrochemical energy storage application

A facile and fast approach for the synthesis of a nanostructured nickel hydroxide(Ni(OH)_2) via sonochemical technique is reported in the present study. The X-ray diffraction results confirmed that the synthesized Ni(OH)_2 was oriented in β-phase of hexagonal brucite structure. The nanostructured Ni(OH)_2 electrode exhibited the maximum specific capacitance of 1256 F/g at a current density of 200 mA/g in 1 M KOH_((aq)). Ni(OH)_2 electrodes exhibited the pseudocapacitive behavior due to the presence of redox reaction. It also exhibited long-term cyclic stability of 85% after 2000 cycles, suggesting that the nanostructured Ni(OH)_2 electrode will play a promising role for high performance supercapacitor application.
