This study takes Shannan City in Tibet as the research object, and proposes peak paths and specific policy suggestions based on the prediction results of carbon emission peak values in different scenarios by constructing a GM-ImPACT model. The results show that, the current economic growth rate coupled with strong emission reduction strategies is the optimal path for Shannan City to achieve carbon peak. Shannan City is expected to achieve carbon peak 10 years ahead of schedule in 2024, reducing its total carbon emissions by 20.72%, and its carbon emission intensity will drop by 7.89 percentage points higher than the national level. The proposed model framework could be applied to explore the optimal path of carbon peak for other cities.

In order to explore the impact of social, economic and industrial energy factors on air pollution emissions of the industrial sector in Hebei Province, the LMDI model was adopted to decompose the air pollutant emissions of the industrial sector in Hebei Province from 2013 to 2020. Four economic and industrial energy consumption scenarios were set according to the current economic development and pollutant emission trend. The contributions of future socio-economic and industrial energy effects to pollutant emission in Hebei Province by 2035 were predicted under these scenarios. The results show that the industrial structure and energy structure of Hebei Province have been thoroughly adjusted in recent years, and the dependence of economic development on industry has been reduced. The reduction of industrial sector capacity and the elimination of outdated production capacity have achieved remarkable results. Clean use of energy is still an effective means of industrial green and clean transformation. In addition, the current energy structure of the industrial sector still needs to be further adjusted, and the application of new energy and clean energy in the industrial sector is the main adjustment direction in future. The prediction results indicate that the slowdown of gross regional domestic product growth will promote the emission reduction of air pollutants in the industrial sector, and the contribution of the adjustment of industrial and energy structure to the emission reduction of air pollutants in the industrial sector will gradually increase.

Taking Wannian County of Jiangxi Province as the research area, constructing the evaluation index system of rural residential multi-functions, using the methods of full arrangement polygon comprehensive graphic method, Spearman correlation analysis, spatial autocorrelation analysis and explicit comparative advantage weight index, this paper analyzes the spatial characteristics of rural residential multi-functions and carries out comprehensive functional zoning. The results show that 1) Wannian County presents the characteristics of “living function and production function are the main, followed by ecological function”, which is spatially heterogeneous. 2) There is a complex interaction between the multi-functions of rural residential areas, especially the synergistic relationship between living function and production function. 3) Based on the method of “zoning + revision”, Wannian County is divided into I, II, III, IV and V regions under the different goal orientations of coordinated development, function leading and green revitalization. Considering the interaction between functions based on the leading functions of rural residential areas, the delimitation of comprehensive functional areas is an effective way to optimize rural areas, which is of great significance to rural sustainable development.

The Huangshui River Basin in Qinghai Province was selected as the research case. Considering the close relationship between climate change and hydrological cycle of the basin and the severe impact on the water environment system, the evaluation method system of water environment carrying capacity of the basin under the impact of climate change was constructed. The matching of time and space scales was carried out from the perspective of systematicness and integrity, so as to accurately evaluate the impact of climate change on the hydrological cycle of the basin scale and carry out the calculation of water environment carrying capacity. Finally, the assessment and analysis of the dynamic change of the basin water environmental carrying capacity under the influence of climate change was established. The research results show that climate warming would lead to a decline in the water environmental carrying capacity of the Huangshui River Basin, but with the passage of time, the water environmental carrying capacity under the future climate change scenario would generally improve.

The spatial and seasonal variations of environmental factors and phytoplankton community in Lake Dianchi was investigated. The statistical analysis found that a total of 84 phytoplankton taxon, belonging to 49 genera 6 phyla were identified, of which Chlorophyte were the most abundant, accounting for 59.2%, followed by Cyanophyta, accounting for 16.67% and diatom accounting for 5.95%. The trend of seasonal variation of algae density and biomass was not the same, which was caused by the biomass differences of various species. The Shannon Wiener index (H) was very small throughout the year, and seasonal variation was not significant. Algae density and biomass were positively correlated with total phosphorus (TP), and negatively correlated with nitrate (NO3-) and nitrogen phosphorus ratio (N:P). H was positively correlated with NO3- and N:P, while negatively correlated with TP. Nutrients had great influences on the density and biomass distributions of various taxa of phytoplankton community. The density and biomass of the most dominant species Microcystis sp. had the same relationships with the environmental factors, which were positively correlated with pH, TP and ammonia (NH4+), and negatively correlated with NO3-, N:P, total nitrogen (TN), dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and total organic carbon (TOC). Some biological factors may cause stronger effects on density and biomass distribution of chlorella and diatom, such as interspecific competition and predation, covering the influences of environmental factors.

WANG Shu, LIU Shuhua, CHEN Jianzhou, HU Ju, FENG Shuanglei, MA Yulong, MIAO Yucong
Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis    2018, 54 (3): 605-615.   DOI: 10.13209/j.0479-8023.2017.187

Meso-scale meteorological numerical model WRF (Weather Research and Forecast) and the Fitch Wake model are adopted to reveal the intension and patch range of TWE (turbine wake effect) in various atmospheric stability, as well as the impact of different turbine configuration on utilization efficiency of wind energy. Case studies are conducted over Poyang Lake region. The results are as followed. Horizontally, the patch range of a single wind turbine’s TWE can reach 4 to 10 km downward, with a reduction in wind speed ranging from −0.2 to −1.2 m/s under different atmospheric instability. The reduction in wind speed is more severe with more turbines on the stream track. Among the five cases with different turbine location configuration, the wind speed reducing effect in square case (intensively distributed) is much more apparent than others, while the wind speed in TWE patch tends to recover quickly in hollow diamond case (sparsely distributed). Compared with unstable atmospheric stratification, the TWE under stable atmospheric stratification has a longer patch range, because the turbulent exchange of momentum is intenser in unstable stratification than that in stable stratification. Vertically, the QKE (twice of turbulent kinetic energy) at the wind turbine spot peaks in the core. QKE increases to its maximum value of 19 m2/s2 and then decreases to around zero. The maximum QKE appears at the level of about 90 m above ground level, while the vertical impact of TWE can be traced to a height of 1.1 km.

LI Jiaqi, WANG Shuguang, NING Jieyuan
Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis    2016, 52 (3): 427-436.   DOI: 10.13209/j.0479-8023.2016.042
Abstract1020)   HTML    PDF(pc) (636KB)(847)       Save

The correctness of the earthquake source spectra derived from array data with an iteratively stacking method is checked by analyzing the expressions of iterative stacking in each step. The expression of the finally derived source spectra term shows that it has nothing of the station term, but will be affected by the path term dependent on the source-receiver configuration, which is further confirmed by numerical simulations with iteratively stacking method. Considering stress drop might be wrongly estimated when stations or events are unevenly distributed, the paper provides a strategy to derive the correct stress drop in typical conditions of stationevent configurations. It will be helpful to correctly acquire seismic source information from seismic data.

Theoretical analysis quantitatively shows that high velocity anomaly near source, low velocity anomaly near receiver and the lateral velocity variation above the target inversion area have the influence of the same dimension of anomaly on the traditional inversion of 1-D wave velocity by triplicated wave arrival times. A quantitative computation scheme is proposed to remove the smearing effects with the help of regional or global tomography results when using 1-D inversion by triplicated wave arrival times. Tests imply that the velocity smearing could be eliminated to great extent and the real 1-D structure might be recovered.

In order to study the similarities and differences between viscosity bulking and filamentous bulking further, nitrogen and phosphorus removal characteristics under these two conditions were investigated systematically by using sequencing batch reactors (SBR). The results show that when pH is from 7. 2 to 8. 0, and temperature is from 22℃ to 24℃, viscosity bulking has no effect n nitrification process through increasing DO concentration during aerobic period. Under viscosity sludge bulking, the anoxic micro-environment caused by adhered EPS is proned to stimulate simultaneous nitrification and denitrification ( SND) happen, and the SND ratio is larger by 47. 80% than that under filamentous sludge bulking. Furthermore, higher SND ratio leads to nitrite accumulation during nitrification process. Sludge settleability under viscosity bulking is worse than that under filamentous bulking, and so is the phosphorus removal performance. The specific PO3-4P releasing rate and uptakiug rate under viscosity bulking are lower by 17. 65% and 25. 00% than those under filamentous bulking, respectively.

A snowstorm event caused by explosive cyclone happened in Liaoning Province in March 3-5, 2007. The cyclone caused heavy snow, strong winds and low visibility, which had large influences onthetraffic, particularly on aviation. The authors analyze the process fromthe large-scale circulation, mobile path and intensity of the cyclone, moisture conditions, cold and warm air, etc. The results show that strong baroclinic wave is the main reason for the development of the explosive cyclone, and that high potential vorticity in the stratosphere promote the development, too. High-and low-level jets, divergence field, vertical movement constitute a strong secondary circulation. The snowstorm in Shenyang is closely related to the movement of cyclones path, water vapor transport and the degree of vertical movement.

Abstract742)            Save
Deriving from the Pressure-State-Response (PSR) theory, a framework of sustainable development (SD) indicators describing urban fringe's urbanization process was brought forward. Sustainable Development Index (ISD) series for multi-years were used to measure the regional capability of sustainability. The socio-economic-environmental grand system was considered as a grey system and artificial neural network (ANN) was applied to calculate the ISD series. Then a case study of Huiji District, Zhengzhou City was adopted for ISD assessment from the year 1987 to 2004, and uncertainty analysis was also construed. The results showed that both the framework and the ISD with ANN were suitable in reflecting its SD levels. The method is recommendable for analogous problems.

Abstract576)            Save
An attention-based image recognition model is proposed. When analyze complex visual field or pattern, visual attention mechanism is used to detect saliency features in the image and drive the fixation point to scan the saliency features sequentially. During each fixation, the local pattern at the fixation point is memorized or matched. There are two parts in the memory of a complex pattern, the memory of local patterns that constitute the complex pattern and the memory of space relations between local patterns. Corresponding to memory process, the recognition process also contains two parts, the matching of local patterns and the matching of space relations between local patterns. An object is recognized only when there are enough numbers of local patterns is matched and the space relations between these local patterns are correct. This model is used in face detection in complex background. The results shows that the model can solves the problem of invariant recognition with respect to shift, rotation and scale, and the computing is fast and robust. This model likes human's vision system and is applicable.

Abstract939)            Save
The adsorption of sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDBS), tetradecyl pyridinechloride (TPC) and Triton X-100 (TX-100) onto the alumina powders at various pH was studied. The ξ-potential of the particles and the stability of the suspension in water were determined. The main results are as follows. (1) At suitable pH, the adsorption isotherms are LS type for SDBS and TPC. At higher concentration of surfactants, association on the surface occurs to form a close-packed monolayer. The orientation of hydrophilic group to water phase was inferred from values of adsorption limit, surface area and molecular dimensions. The sign of ξ-potential of alumina powder was opposite to the original one in lower concentration of SDBS or TPC, and the values of ξ-potential increased with increasing concentration. The stability of suspension of alumina powders is a function of SDBS or TPC concentration and displays an V-shaped curve with increasing concentration at lower concentration. (2) At pH 6.9 and higher concentration, monolayer on the surface of alumina was formed by adsorption of TX-100. In the monolayer the hydrophilic EO group interact with the hydroxy of surface and the hydrophilic group is in water phase. Then the stability of the suspension of alumina powders is lower than that of the suspension at lower concentration of TX-100.

Along with the rare event that the Comet SL-9 impact Jupiter was confirmed by observations, the task of searching near-earth asteroids and relative comets is obtaining more and more attention. Therefore, first of all, in view of the radiation tendency of cool and dark celestial bodies and detection limit of telescope, we point out the potential advantage of radio astronomical method for the task. Then, on the basis of predicted technical index of the 65m multi-waveband radio telescope, we discuss the feasibility of using beam switching method to detect the radio radiation of near-earth asteroids which can be very weak down to about 1 mJy. Also through the analysis of relative data of united observations, we introduce the basic steps of determining the direction, distance,velocity and size of the asteroids. Finally, we discuss the probability of themethod as mentioned above to be used for other astronomical objects.

Abstract1342)            Save
For determining the trace 14C in nuclear reactor coolingwater, two methods based on sorption of 14CO2 in a solution and subsequent liquit scintillation (LS) counting of the 14C were developed. Initially, a water sample was acidified by H2SO4 and distilled in a distillator to produce 14CO2 gas which was converted from CO2-3 anion in the water. In the first method of Ca14CO3 formation, 14CO2 gas was collected as Ca14CO3 precipitate by NaOH and CaCl2 solution, and then Ca14CO3 was dispersed in a colloidal liquid scintillator (toluene : TritonX-100 : water = 2 : 1 : 1.5) for LS counting. The sorption yield was >90%. The detection limit of this sorption in Ca14CO3-LS method was 3.3×10-10g/L. In the method of sorption by organic alkali, 14CO2 gas was absorbed by an ethanolamine cocktail(PPO 6g, POPOP 0.2g, ethanolamine 120mL, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether 400mL, toluene 480mL) which can be directly counted in a LS counter. The sorption yield was also >90%, and the detection range of 14C concentration was wider, and the detection limit was improvedto 3.3×10-11g/L, lower than the previous one order of magnitude. By taking the second method, cooling water samples from two nuclear reactors were assayed. 14C content of the samples taken from a reactor of the Chinese Institute of Nuclear. Energy was determined as 5.0×10-11g/L. In the same samples 6 other trace radionuclides (58Co, 46Sc, 54Mn, 110mAg, 60Co and 51Cr),ranging from 0.40 to 30.0 Bq/L in specific activity, were also detected by γ-ray spectrum measurement. Whereas, no radioactivity was detected in another reactor water sample.
