2010年10月-2011年9月在太湖梅梁湾围隔内研究了改性当地土壤絮凝除藻及其对水质改善的应急和长期效果,并结合室内实验研究了该技术防控底泥再悬浮和减少底泥二次污染的长效机制.现场围隔实验结果表明,改性当地土壤除藻30 min后,TN、NO3--N、NH4+-N、TP、PO34--P和Chl.a的去除率分别为66%、57%、60%、93%、92%和98%;长期监测结果表明,与对照区域相比,围隔内的TN、NH4+-N、NO3--N、TP和PO34--P在处理后11个月内的平均值分别降低了39.83%、52.30%、48.53%、18.75%和60.00%.室内再悬浮实验结果表明,改性土壤和沙子抗再悬浮能力较未改性土壤分别提高了3和5倍.室内柱培养结果表明改性土壤絮凝除藻和沙土覆盖相结合可有效提高表层沉积物-水界面的氧化还原电位和溶解氧,使沉积物向水体的TP和TN通量从源逆转成汇,PO34--P和NH4+-N通量大幅度降低.改性土壤技术在利用絮凝除藻快速改善水质后,可通过改性沙/土分层底泥调控分别达到对藻絮体再悬浮的物理控制和营养盐再释放的化学控制,通过将亚表层底泥中的藻细胞分解并被沉水植物根系吸收,可实现对底泥中水华蓝藻复苏和水体富营养化的长效生态控制. 相似文献

为了探索原位解决湖泛引起的水体感官和水质恶化问题,本研究在室内考察了改性当地土壤对湖泛黑物质的絮凝去除效果及土壤和沙子覆盖对絮体再悬浮的抑制作用,并在梅梁湾围隔实验中考察了改性当地土壤湖泊综合修复技术对模拟湖泛水体嗅味物质和营养盐的去除及水体溶解氧(DO)的改善效果.室内研究结果表明,壳聚糖改性土壤对湖泛水体黑物质的絮凝去除效果比聚合氯化铝更佳,在55 mg/L的壳聚糖改性土壤投加量时,水体浊度从对照的 >2000NTU降低到5 NTU,土壤和沙子覆盖能够有效地减少湖泛水体黑物质絮凝去除后的再悬浮.现场研究结果表明,该技术处理30 min后总氮和总磷的去除率达到97.0%,嗅味物质DMTS和MIB的去除率达到75.0%以上,水体表层DO增加了75.0%,底层DO增加了183.5%.改性当地土壤湖泊综合修复技术对湖泛水体的感官和水质起到明显的应急改善效果. 相似文献

利用改性粘土治理蓝藻水华堆积的湖泊近岸区域以及发生水华的养殖水体成为应急治理蓝藻的重要措施,然而负载有毒藻体的改性粘土沉积水体可能引发的安全性风险尚缺乏研究.选取PAC改性粘土作为研究对象,通过模拟实验,研究改性粘土处理蓝藻水华后沉积水体对负载的藻细胞结构、水体营养盐与藻毒素的释放与削减以及对其他水体功能性细菌(硝化、反硝化细菌)的影响.结果表明,PAC改性粘土的施用对低水华水体蓝藻细胞的去除率为96.04%±0.99%,高水华水体与低水华水体施用的去除率之间差异不显著,PAC改性粘土的施用能够在较长的时间内有效地控制水体中的蓝藻浓度.透射电镜结果表明,PAC改性粘土沉降蓝藻第4 d后,蓝藻细胞膜出现了一定程度的不完整,细胞内规则的类囊体片层结构出现了实质性损伤.随着粘土负载蓝藻细胞的损伤,水体中的总可溶性氮浓度迅速上升,但总可溶性磷浓度仍可在较长一段时间内维持在较低水平.PAC改性粘土施用后,水体的总细菌数与空白对照组趋于一致,但硝化、反硝化细菌数却呈显著下降趋势.PAC改性粘土施用下的藻毒素释放风险主要集中在高水华水体.高水华水体中,PAC改性粘土施用导致藻毒素MC-LR和MC-RR加速释放,其最高峰值分别达到空白对照组的1.69±0.09和2.04±0.09倍,但水体MC-LR浓度达到安全限(1μg/L)的时间明显比空白对照组早8 d.此外,PAC改性粘土的施用并没有导致水体中Al~(3+)和Cl~-浓度超标. 相似文献

微污染湖泊、水库等水体中磷的去除已成为水质研究的主要方向.磷是造成水体富营养化的关键因素,其浓度较低时即可导致水体富营养化与水华的发生,许多除磷方法对低浓度磷的去除效果不佳.因此,我们从22种天然矿物、火山灰质材料和水硬性材料中,筛选出了能高效去除低浓度磷的硫铝酸盐水泥（代号R.SAC 42.5,简称R）,该材料在中性、偏酸性的溶液中呈絮凝体状态.本文从吸附动力学、等温吸附曲线、SEM和XRD分析3个方面研究了R对微污染水体中磷的去除机理、环境因素（pH、温度、光照、扰动和溶解氧浓度）对已被R絮凝体吸附的磷酸盐再次溶出的影响以及R在实际微污染水体中的应用效果.结果表明,中性条件下,R絮凝体在0.5 min内就可完成对磷酸盐的去除.当R絮凝体用量为0.10 g/L时,可将0.10 mg/L的磷酸盐完全去除.初步分析表明,磷的去除是由于R絮凝体与磷酸盐之间的化学吸附作用,吸附初始反应阶段可由Langmuir等温线描述.SEM和XRD分析表明磷酸盐主要吸附在R中的硅酸三钙表面,絮凝后的R通过溶液中离子的网捕、压缩、沉降增加了磷酸盐吸附量.环境因子实验表明,在pH为5.0~8.0范围内,磷酸盐去除率可达90%以上.光、温度和溶解氧不影响磷酸盐的去除.扰动会导致部分磷酸盐解吸,但磷酸盐浓度仍低于0.05 mg/L.对微污染湖泊/水库除磷研究表明,絮凝后的R在湖泊/水库除磷、截留水中悬浮物、预防水体富营养化与水华方面具有潜在的应用前景. 相似文献

蓝藻水华及其释放的蓝藻毒素给我国很多地区的饮用水安全带来较大威胁.尽管去除蓝藻和净化藻毒素的技术目前已有较多报道,但能同时对二者起作用的技术方法还较少,发展能够同时去除蓝藻和蓝藻毒素的技术显得十分必要.根据前期Fe(Ⅲ)化合物去除微囊藻毒素的工作基础,选取4种不同的土壤对其进行Fe(Ⅲ)改性,并应用于微囊藻毒素的去除.结果表明,黏土含量高低决定土壤本身对毒素的吸附能力强弱;土壤经过离子改性后,其毒素吸附能力与其阳离子交换量大小直接相关,且毒素去除能力较未改性前有显著提高,其中效率提升最高的一种土壤离子改性后其吸附能力增加了约148倍.离子改性土壤对微囊藻细胞同样具有絮凝沉降功能,沉降能力同样随土壤对Fe(Ⅲ)负载能力的提高而上升,使用剂量提高时微囊藻沉降平衡时间明显缩短.在野外蓝藻水华去除实验中,蓝藻细胞去除可以保持与室内实验相近的高去除率,但蓝藻毒素的去除效率有一定的下降,可能与天然水体中其它杂质的竞争作用有关. 相似文献

超声波和改性粘土集成技术在去除蓝藻水华上的应用 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
近年来,改性粘土除藻技术广泛应用于"水华"的治理当中,其原理是藻类与改性粘土絮凝后自然沉降.通过对铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa)、集胞藻(Synechocystis sp.)和小球藻(Chlorella vulgaris)的絮凝比较,发现具气囊的铜绿微囊藻比其他两种藻发生再悬浮的幅度更大,次数更多.针对我国的水华藻类是以微囊藻(Microcystis sp.)等为主的情况,研究超声波和改性粘土集成技术对藻类的去除效果.结果表明,超声波和改性粘土集成技术能将藻类去除率明显提高,该法的絮体稳定性比单一絮凝法明显增强,且对群体形态的藻的去除率提升效果更好.另外,在40kHz、160W超声辐照下,铜绿微囊藻的气囊去除率在95%以上,但细胞壁保持完好,细胞活性不变,藻毒素不会因细胞破裂而释放,因此超声波和改性粘土集成方法,是治理我国蓝藻水华的有效方法. 相似文献

菹草(Potamogeton crispus L.)对酞酸酯污染沉积物的净化作用 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
酞酸酯是一类典型的内分泌干扰物,在我国城区河湖中污染超标相对严重,且污染呈上升趋势.本文采用根袋法,模拟海河干流水体建立了室内菹草微宇宙,同时设置无菹草微宇宙为对照,研究了沉水植物菹草对沉积物中酞酸二丁酯(DBP)和酞酸二异辛酯(DEHP)的去除作用.实验连续运行27 d.结果表明:系统运行结束时,菹草体内DBP和DEHP含量分别升高了133%和68%;水中,有草组和对照组中DBP的浓度始终低于定量限(8μg/L),而DEHP的浓度则由初始的65μg/L和70μg/L逐渐降低,至第3 d后低于定量限(8μg/L);对照组和有草组非根际沉积物中DBP浓度差异不显著,结束时去除率为32.2%~36.5%,根际沉积物中DBP去除率达50.0%;对照组和非根际沉积物中DEHP浓度差异也不显著,始终在一定范围内波动,结束时去除率为10.3%~11.4%,根际沉积物中DEHP则在第27 d时迅速下降,去除率达80.9%.微生物的结果进一步表明,实验过程中根际土中微生物量明显高于对照组和非根际沉积物,实验后期根际沉积物中微生物群落结构变化较大,这与根际中这两种酞酸酯的去除数据相一致.可见,沉水植物菹草可以通过根际效应有效去除沉积物中酞酸酯类化合物. 相似文献

利用以水葫芦为代表的水生植物进行水体生态治理,具有环保、生态和可持续发展的优点.然而,在外源和内源污染尚未完全控制的情况下,夏季蓝藻水华仍然会频繁暴发.系统研究水生植物对藻华聚集后形成的逆境环境下的生理适应机制可为减轻藻华聚集的不良影响、充分发挥水生植物的水体净化功能发挥重要作用.以水葫芦为代表,采用模拟实验,研究在高温阶段(水温25℃)、水华聚集下对水葫芦关键酶活性的影响及其环境效应,以揭示蓝藻水华聚集后引起的浅水生态系统中水生植物消亡的深层机理.结果表明,藻华聚集会很快消耗掉水生植物根区内的溶解氧,水体呈现缺氧状态(溶解氧0.2 mg/L);植物根区内氧化还原电位值出现明显下降,实验进行1 d后低于-100 m V,实验结束时达-199.9 m V,水体呈现强还原环境.植物叶片中丙二醛(MDA)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)含量呈现快速增加的变化趋势,至实验结束时添加120 g/L的处理组中其含量分别为2.17μmol/g(FW)、266.497 U/g、1988.60 U/(g·min),而叶片中过氧化氢酶(CAT)呈现快速下降的趋势,至实验结束时其含量为6.09 U/(g·min);根系中MDA、POD至实验结束时其含量分别为0.57μmol/g(FW)、525.161 U/(g·min),呈现快速下降的趋势;SOD、CAT含量在实验结束时高达221.71 U/g、35.10 U/(g·min),表现为快速增加的趋势.水葫芦关键抗氧化酶活性的变化,表明藻华长期聚集、腐解带来的水体缺氧等不良条件对植物产生了环境胁迫作用,较长时间影响(5 d)下对植物产生了严重的伤害作用;同时也表明藻华严重聚集及藻细胞腐解产生的环境胁迫是漂浮植物水葫芦无法生长乃至死亡的主要影响因素.因此,在利用水生植物进行水体净化的工程实践中,要避免蓝藻的严重堆积,以减轻藻华暴发对植物的不利影响和充分发挥植物的水体净化功能. 相似文献

2019年6月,在山东省峡山水库多个位点采集到角藻属(Ceratium)样品,并发现其在局部位点形成明显的浅褐色水华.系统发育分析结果显示该种与角藻属常见种飞燕角藻(C. hirundinella)亲缘关系最近,但形态学上有明显区别,前者具有1块间插板和3个顶板,而飞燕角藻具有4块顶板.通过对比,发现该种为我国淡水甲藻门未经描述的新记录物种——拟二叉角藻(C. furcoides).峡山水库中,水华发生位点的水体叶绿素a浓度高达125.77μg/L,拟二叉角藻的密度达1.23×106cells/L,占总藻细胞密度的1.21%.细胞数量上,占优势的主要是尖头藻(Merismopedia spp.)和浮丝藻(Planktothrix spp.)等一些丝状蓝藻;但因个体细胞体积非常大,鲜重高达86.31 mg/L,占总藻鲜重的49.34%,因此在生物量上拟二叉角藻是绝对优势种.此外,通过核查采自我国东北、华中、西南地区不同时期、温度较高季节的多个标本,基于其自身特性和分布特点,本研究认为拟二叉角藻偏好高温和富营养水体,有在我国不同地区水体扩张并形成水华的潜在能力. 相似文献

湖泊沉积物粒度分析前处理过程中絮凝现象的消除方法研究 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
采用激光粒度仪对湖泊沉积物进行粒度分析时需要进行必要的前处理.在有效去除有机质与碳酸盐颗粒的同时,需要消除细粒泥沙质样品中絮凝现象对粒度分析结果造成的误差或错误.本文以武汉三角湖表层沉积物样品为例,采用X射线粉晶衍射(XRD)对其矿物组成和粘土矿物种属进行鉴定,并采用全自动激光粒度仪对样品进行粒度分析.X射线粉晶衍射结果表明样品中非粘土矿物主要为石英与长石,粘土矿物以伊利石、高岭石、绿泥石为主;粒度分析结果显示样品中小于30μm组分占94.5%.这些特征表明该样品易于在前处理过程中形成絮凝.本次研究采用单因素寻优法探讨了超声震荡、分散剂、洗酸对于以伊利石、高岭石、绿泥石为主、平均粒径较小的样品消除絮凝现象的最佳条件.研究结果表明,针对此类样品消除絮凝现象的最佳条件为:超声震荡时间应选择6~8 min,分散剂浓度为20 g/L左右,同时在粒度分析之前需要对样品进行洗酸. 相似文献

In natural waters arsenic concentrations up to a few milligrams per litre were measured. The natural content of arsenic found in soils varies between 0.01 mg/kg and a few hundred milligrams per kilogram. Anthropogenic sources of arsenic in the environment are the smelting of ores, the burning of coal, and the use of arsenic compounds in many products and production processes in the past. A lot of arsenic compounds are toxic and cause acute and chronic poisoning. In aqueous environment the inorganic arsenic species arsenite (As(III)) and arsenate (As(V)) are the most abundant species. The mobility of these species is influenced by the pH value, the redox potential, and the presence of adsorbents such as oxides and hydroxides of Fe(III), Al(III), Mn(III/IV), humic substances, and clay minerals. 相似文献

Due to deleterious effects on non-target organisms, the use of organotin compounds on boat hulls of small vessels (<25 m) has been widely prohibited. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) resolved that the complete prohibition on organotin compounds acting as biocides in antifouling systems should commence in 2008. As a result of restrictions on the use of organotin based paints, other antifouling formulations containing organic biocides have been utilised. This survey was conducted to assess the contamination of replacement biocides in the marine environment following the ban of TBT-based paints. Surface sediments samples were collected in the major ports and marinas along the France Mediterranean coastline (Cote d’Azur) and analysed for organotin compounds, Irgarol 1051, Sea-nine 211TM, Chlorothalonil, Dichlofluanid and Folpet. Every port and marina exhibited high levels of organotin compounds, with concentrations in sediments ranging from 37 ng Sn g−1dry wt in Menton Garavan to over 4000 ng Sn g−1dry wt close to the ship chandler within the port of Villefranche-sur-Mer. TBT degradation indexes suggested that fresh inputs are still made. Among the other antifoulants monitored, only Irgarol 1051 exhibited measurable concentrations in almost every port, with concentrations ranging from 40 ng g−1dry wt (Cannes) to almost 700 ng g−1dry wt (Villefranche-sur-Mer, ship chandler). 相似文献

Microcystins are cyclic heptapeptide toxins produced by a range of cyanobacterial genera. These cyanobacteria occur naturally in drinking water reservoirs subject to eutrophication, and in rivers and natural lakes. Because of the diversity of organisms, the toxins occur, from oligo‐mesotrophic lakes in North Temperate latitudes, to hypertrophic tropical ponds. The toxins are responsible for numerous cases of injury and death of domestic animals, and human poisoning from drinking water. The initial poisoning includes hepatic cell death. This leads to secondary effects from liver deficiency, including jaundice and photosensitisation. The toxic effects are largely due to inhibition of phosphatase enzymes, acting to regulate protein phosphorylation. The consequences include structural damage, apoptosis and, at lower concentrations, cell cycle effects and tumour promotion. As there is no clear evidence for direct carcinogenesis by microcystins, they are classed as non‐carcinogenic toxins in drinking water. Guideline Values for safe drinking water are derived from data for subchronic rodent toxicity, using the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (the highest dose giving no toxicity). To this dose are applied uncertainty factors, to calculate a Tolerable Daily Intake. On the basis of a standard bodyweight and water consumption the Guideline Value is determined for drinking water. For microcystin‐LR the WHO have set a provisional Guideline Value of 1 μg/L for drinking water. 相似文献

The geomagnetic field and secular variation exhibit asymmetrical spatial features which are possibly originating from an heterogeneous thermal control of the Earth's lower mantle on the core. The identification of this control in magnetic data is subject to several difficulties, some of which can be alleviated by the use of core surface flow models. Using numerical dynamos driven by heterogeneous boundary heat flux, we confirm that within the parameter space accessible to simulations, time average surface flows obey a simple thermal wind equilibrium between the Coriolis and buoyancy forces, the Lorentz, inertial and viscous forces playing only a secondary role, even for Elsasser numbers significantly larger than 1. Furthermore, we average the models over the duration of three vortex turnovers, and correlate them with a longer time average which fully reveals the signature of boundary heterogeneity. This allows us to quantify the possibility of observing mantle control in core surface flows averaged over a short time period. A scaling analysis is performed in order to apply the results to the Earth's core. We find that three vortex turnovers could represent between 100 and 360 years of Earth time, and that the heat flux heterogeneity at the core-mantle boundary could be large enough to yield an observable signature of thermal mantle control in a time average core surface flow within reach of the available geomagnetic data. 相似文献

Located in northern Québec, the Lac Shortt Mine was a small gold mine consisting of a thin subvertical orebody which was mined in three main phases. High stress and rockbursting conditions were experienced when ore was extracted in the upper zone between the surface and a depth of 500 metres during the first two phases of mining. Severe rockbursts were experienced in late 1989 near the shaft and in the footwall development following a deepening of the mine shaft to a depth of 830 m and partial development of footwall drift access for the third phase of mining (the mining of the lower zone starting at a depth of 830 m moving upward toward a depth of 500 m). A 16-channel Electrolab MP250 microseismic system, with a Queen's University Full-Waveform piggy-back system, was installed underground at the site due to these problems.It was expected that the thinning sill would be subjected to an ever-increasing load as the thickness of the 500 m sill pillar decreased in the face of the mining excavation from below. A monitoring program consisting of the microseismic monitoring system, a range of conventional geomechanics monitoring tools as well as the undertaking of periodic seismic tomography surveys to assess the ongoing state of stress and rock mass condition within the sill was therefore warranted.The anomalously high-magnitude stress field and the brittle rockmass created a situation in which rockmass failure was common and violent. In the creation and thinning of the sill pillar, the location of banded microseismic activity was crucial in tracing rockmass failure and the associated ground control problems. Reliable source-location determination enabled the identification of areas of stress increase. The movement of the rockmass failure front could be followed, and was responsible for stope dilution, footwall and orebody development deterioration, and caving.Source-mechanism analyses gave accurate double-couple solutions for approximately forty percent of these events having at least ten recognizable polarities. Results suggested movement along vertical north-south striking or vertical east-west striking features. Underground observation of damaged access points showed that vertical north-south striking joints were experiencing failure.The microseismic activity, which was consistently concentrated close to the southwest and northeast corners of current production stopes, could be explained by a stress field oriented obliquely to the strike of the orebody, as measured prior to shrinkage of the sill pillar byin situ stress measurements and observed borehole overbreaks. The orientations of theP andT axes for the microseismic activity further confirmed that the stress field oriented obliquely to strike.While an increase in compressional-wave velocity of 2.3 percent, corresponding to a measured stress increase of approximately 10 MPa could be measured by repeated tomographic surveys, it was relatively small and only a factor of two or so above the velocity measured uncertainty. The relative insensitivity of thein situ rock mass modulus to the applied stress is believed to be largely due to the rockmass discontinuities being relatively closed prior to stress increase, as substantiated by the small deformations seen by the extensometer and borehole camera. This situation existed because of the very high pre-mining stress level.The experimental demonstration that the rock could not absorb substantially increased load through the mechanism of discontinuity closure or tightening (which would be reflected in the modulus) may be evidence in itself of potentially burst-prone ground, such as encountered at Lac Shortt. 相似文献

Abstract The upper Niger and Volta rivers exhibit a great and highly contrasting variability of inter-annual runoff. The Bani River, the largest tributary to the Niger River in Mali, shows a dramatic decrease in runoff after the 1970s, with the result that many boreholes in the region have dried up since the drought began. In contrast, the Nakambe River (Upper Volta basin, in Burkina Faso) shows an increase in runoff for the same period, leading to unexpected flood peaks that damaged infrastructures. The contribution that the groundwater and its variability make to surface runoff variability is assessed in this study by comparing the data of the national groundwater monitoring networks of Mali and Burkina Faso to surface runoff. Several variables are compared at the basin scale: the date of the maximum level of the water table, the annual rainfall, discharge, low flows and depletion coefficients. Variability in the low flows of the Bani River is well correlated to a decrease in the water table. Since 1970, the greater decrease in runoff in comparison to the rainfall decrease is due to a reduction in the baseflow, related to the cumulated rainfall deficit. Concerning the Nakambe River, the runoff increase is not supported by a water table increase, but is due to the increase in runoff coefficient related to land degradation. 相似文献

The inability to detect the presence of viable Helicobacter pylori bacteria in environmental waters has hindered the public health community in assessing the role water may play in the transmission of this pathogen. This work describes a cultural enrichment method coupled with an H. pylori‐specific PCR to identify these bacteria in water. While far from perfected at the present time, this represents an exciting new approach to studying the significance of water as a transmission mechanism for H. pylori. Evidence is presented that indicates culturable H. pylori bacteria were found using this enrichment/PCR method in a local groundwater source. 相似文献

Response spectrum predictions for potential near-field and far-field earthquakes affecting Hong Kong: rock sites 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

To realistically assess the seismic risk relating to built infrastructures in Hong Kong and in the neighbouring coastal cities of southern Guangdong province, it is necessary to predict ground shaking induced by different earthquake scenarios with good accuracy. A companion paper has described the modelling of the spatial and temporal distribution of the diffused seismic activities in the region, based on the newly-developed ‘Expanding Circular Disc’ (ECD) method. Representative Magnitude–Distance (M–R) combinations for both near-field and far-field earthquakes (in relation to Hong Kong) have been derived using the ECD method. The present paper describes the modelling of the response spectrum on rock sites associated with the predicted M–R combinations, using the Component Attenuation Model (CAM) that was also developed recently by the authors, based on stochastic simulations of the seismological model. The significant effects of soil resonance on the response spectrum are described in a separate publication.The accuracy of CAM in modelling ground motion properties on rock sites has been tested here by comparisons with (i) strong motions recorded in Taiwan and South China from the 1999 ‘Chi-Chi’ earthquake in Taiwan (M=7.6), (ii) motions recorded in South China from another earthquake occurring in the southern Taiwan Strait in the same year (M=5.1), and (iii) historical seismic intensity data obtained within South China. The overall capability of CAM in modelling both near-field and far-field attenuation has been shown to be unmatched by existing empirical models. Results of the comparison studies confirm the accuracy of CAM, particularly within an epicentral distance of 300–400 km.This study shows that the developed serviceability response spectra (i.e. at short return periods) are controlled mainly by the earthquake recurrence behaviour of major distant seismic sources. In contrast, the ultimate response spectra (i.e. at long return periods) relate to events with magnitudes close to the maximum credible earthquake (MCE) limit, the effect of which may also be represented by the Characteristic Response Spectrum (CRS). Both types of earthquake scenario can be significantly affected by the regional crustal properties. The proposed response spectrum envelopes have been compared with previously developed recommendations, and a critical review has been conducted. The intrinsic advantages of the ECD–CAM modelling approach have been highlighted, emphasising its directness and transparency when compared with the more complex process required to implement traditional Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment (PSHA). 相似文献
