The common mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis was selected as unique biomonitor species to implement a regional monitoring programme, the CIESM Mediterranean Mussel Watch (MMW), in the Mediterranean and Black Seas. As of today, and upon standardization of the methodological approach, the MMW Network has been able to quantify ¹³⁷Cs levels in mussels from 60 coastal stations and to produce the first distribution map of this artificial radionuclide at the scale of the entire Mediterranean and Black Seas. While measured ¹³⁷Cs levels were found to be very low (usually <1 Bq kg⁻¹ wet wt) ¹³⁷Cs activity concentrations in the Black Sea and North Aegean Sea were up to two orders of magnitude higher than those in the western Mediterranean Basin. Such effects, far from representing a threat to human populations or the environment, reflect a persistent signature of the Chernobyl fallout in this area.  相似文献   

Evaluation of Two Low‐Cost–High‐Performance Adsorbent Materials in the Waste‐to‐Product Approach for the Removal of Pesticides from Drinking Water     

Pham Thi Thuy  Nguyen Viet Anh  Bart van der Bruggen 《洁净——土壤、空气、水》2012,40(3):246-253

This study evaluates the performance of two low cost and high performance adsorption materials, i.e., activated carbon produced from two natural waste products: Bamboo and coconut shell, in the removal of three pesticides from drinking water sources. Due to the fact that bamboo and coconut shell are abundant and inexpensive materials in many parts of the world, they respond to the “low‐cost” aspect. The adsorption capacities of two local adsorbents have been compared with commercial activated carbon to explore their potential to respond to the “high quality” aspect. Two pesticides were selected, namely dieldrin and chlorpyrifos, because they are commonly used in agriculture activities, and may remain in high concentrations in surface water used as drinking water sources. The results indicate that the adsorption of pesticides on activated carbons is influenced by physico‐chemical properties of the activated carbon and the pesticides such as the presence of an aromatic ring, and their molar mass. The activated carbon produced from bamboo can be employed as low‐cost and high performance adsorbent, alternative to commercial activated carbon for the removal of pesticides during drinking water production. The performance of activated carbon from bamboo was better due to its relatively large macroporosity and planar surface. The effect of adsorbent and pesticide characteristics on the performance was derived from batch experiments in which the adsorption behavior was studied on the basis of Freundlich isotherms.  相似文献   

Steel buckling‐restrained braced frames with single and dual corner gusset connections: seismic tests and analyses     

Chung‐Che Chou  Jia‐Hau Liu  Dinh‐Hai Pham 《地震工程与结构动力学》2012,41(7):1137-1156

The design of a three‐story buckling‐restrained braced frame (BRBF) with a single‐diagonal sandwiched BRB and corner gusset was evaluated in cyclic tests of a one‐story, one‐bay BRBF subassembly and dynamic analyses of the frame subjected to earthquakes. The test focused on evaluating (1) the seismic performance of a sandwiched BRB installed in a frame, (2) the effects of free‐edge stiffeners and dual gusset configurations on the corner gusset behavior, (3) the frame and brace action forces in the corner gusset, and (4) the failure mode of the BRBF under the maximum considerable earthquake level. The subassembly frame performed well up to a drift of 2.5% with a maximum axial strain of 1.7% in the BRB. Without free‐edge stiffeners, the single corner gusset plate buckled at a significantly lower strength than that predicted by the specificationof American Institute of Steel Construction (2005). The buckling could be eliminated by using dual corner gusset plates similar in size to the single gusset plate. At low drifts, the frame action force on the corner gusset was of the same magnitude as the brace force. At high drifts, however, the frame action force significantly increased and caused weld fractures at column‐to‐gusset edges. Nonlinear time history analyses were performed on the three‐story BRBF to obtain seismic demands under both design and maximum considerable levels of earthquake loading. The analytical results confirmed that the BRB and corner gusset plate achieved peak drift under cyclic loading test. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

Revisit of well function approximation and an easy graphical curve matching technique for Theis' solution     

Giao PH 《Ground water》2003,41(3):387-390

Some approximations of Theis' solution are reviewed and compared with the numerical evaluation of the exponential integral by means of a short FORTRAN code. A graphical technique of Theis' curve matching is proposed to make this procedure as easy as plotting a graph.  相似文献   

Kinetics of Fe(III) precipitation in aqueous solutions at pH 6.0-9.5 and 25 °C     

A. Ninh Pham 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2006,70(3):640-650

The kinetics of Fe(III) precipitation in synthetic buffered waters have been investigated over the pH range 6.0-9.5 using a combination of visible spectrophotometry, ⁵⁵Fe radiometry combined with ion-pair solvent extraction of chelated iron and numerical modeling. The rate of precipitation, which is first order with respect to both dissolved and total inorganic ferric species, varies by nearly two orders of magnitude with a maximum rate constant of 16 ± 1.5 × 10⁶ M⁻¹ s⁻¹ at a pH of around 8.0. Our results support the existence of the dissolved neutral species, Fe(OH)₃⁰, and suggest that it is the dominant precursor in Fe(III) polymerization and subsequent precipitation at circumneutral pH. The intrinsic rate constant of precipitation of Fe(OH)₃⁰ was calculated to be allowing us to predict rates of Fe(III) precipitation in the pH range 6.0-9.5. The value of this rate constant, and the variation in the precipitation rate constant over the pH range considered, are consistent with a mechanism in which the kinetics of iron precipitation are controlled by rates of water exchange in dissolved iron hydrolysis species.  相似文献

A novel hybrid integration model using support vector machines and random subspace for weather-triggered landslide susceptibility assessment in the Wuning area (China)     

Haoyuan Hong  Junzhi Liu  A-Xing Zhu  Himan Shahabi  Binh Thai Pham  Wei Chen  Biswajeet Pradhan  Dieu Tien Bui 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2017,76(19):652

This study proposed a hybrid modeling approach using two methods, support vector machines and random subspace, to create a novel model named random subspace-based support vector machines (RSSVM) for assessing landslide susceptibility. The newly developed model was then tested in the Wuning area, China, to produce a landslide susceptibility map. With the purpose of achieving the objective of the study, a spatial dataset was initially constructed that includes a landslide inventory map consisting of 445 landslide regions. Then, various landslide-influencing factors were defined, including slope angle, aspect, altitude, topographic wetness index, stream power index, sediment transport index, soil, lithology, normalized difference vegetation index, land use, rainfall, distance to roads, distance to rivers, and distance to faults. Next, the result of the RSSVM model was validated using statistical index-based evaluations and the receiver operating characteristic curve approach. Then, to evaluate the performance of the suggested RSSVM model, a comparison analysis was performed to other existing approaches such as artificial neural network, Naïve Bayes (NB) and support vector machine (SVM). In general, the performance of the RSSVM model was better than the other models for spatial prediction of landslide susceptibility. The AUC results of the applied models are as follows: RSSVM (AUC = 0.857), followed by MLP (AUC = 0.823), SVM (AUC = 0.814) and NB (AUC = 0.783). The present study indicates that RSSVM can be used for landslide susceptibility evaluation, and the results are very useful for local governments and people living in the Wuning area.  相似文献
