How do we know when we have done enough to protect the environment?     

Lars Landner 《Marine pollution bulletin》1994,29(6-12):593-598

The changing concepts and challenges that the process industry has to face in relation to environmental protection are discussed. The original requirements on industry to reduce emissions of contaminants through the installation of filters and waste water treatment facilities or through process modification and introduction of ‘clean production’ strategies were mainly based on economic and technical considerations rather than on an effort to avoid environmental impacts. The introduction of concepts such as ‘assimilative capacity of the environment’ and ‘critical load’ provided useful instruments for setting effect-related emission standards, resulting in acceptable environmental protection. However, the actual requirement for ‘sustainability’ has forced industry to focus not only on controlling emissions of contaminants and pollutants, but to take a global environmental approach, including the choice of raw materials and energy sources, recycling and re-utilization of wastes and to take responsibility for the fate of their products, during their whole lifecycle.  相似文献   

Geological mapping of rapid mass movement deposits as an aid to land-use planning     

Lars H. Blikra 《Engineering Geology》1990,29(4):365-376

Rapid mass movements are common features of hilly or mountainous terrains, and depending on the type of movements or processes involved these give rise to characteristic deposits. Identification of these deposits in mapping programmes gives a clue as to their mode of origin (rockslide/rockfall, snow avalanche, debris flow, fluidal sediment flow) and this can be used to predict rapid mass movements in the future.

A case story from western Norway is described and the value of mapping such deposits for land-use planning and hazard estimation stressed.  相似文献   

Suspension and calibration of a sediment trap   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  

By Lars Håkanson 《Aquatic Sciences - Research Across Boundaries》1984,46(1):171-175

The aim of this technical note is to introduce a new, simple construction of a buoy-carried, suspended sediment trap that meets given demands concerning design (geometry of vessels) and stability during the registration period. The device is based on a ball-and-socket joint in the center and two Plexiglas cylinders (D=5cm, H=30cm) on PVC plastic arms. The suspension consists of only three parts. To determine the optimal construction, the apparatus has been calibrated in a circulating flume at various water velocities.  相似文献   

FTIR studies of reactions between the nitrate radical and haloethenes     

I. M. W. Noremsaune  J. Hjorth  C. J. Nielsen 《Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry》1995,21(3):223-250

Products and mechanisms for the gas-phase reactions of NO₃ radicals with CH₂=CHCl, CH₂=CCl₂, CHCl=CCl₂,cis-CHCl=CHCl andtrans-CHCl=CHCl in air have been studied. The experiments were carried out at 295±2 K and 740±5 Torr in a 480-L Teflon-coated reaction chamber and at 295±2 K and 760±5 Torr in a 250-L stainless steel reactor. NO₃ was generated by the thermal dissociation of N₂O₅. Experiments with¹⁵NO₃ and CD₂CDCl have also been performed. The initially formed nitrate peroxynitrates decay into carbonyl compounds, nitrates, HCl and ClNO₂. In adidtion, there are indications of nitrooxy acid chlorides being produced. The reactions with CH₂=CCl₂ and CHCl=CCl₂ are more complex due to release of chlorine atoms which eventually lead to formation of chloroacid chlorides.A general reaction mechanism is proposed and the observed concentration-time profiles of reactants and products are simulated for each compound. The rate constants for the initial step of NO₃ addition to the chloroethenes are determined as: (2.6±0.5, 9.4±0.9, 2.0±0.4 and 1.4±0.4) × 10^–16 cm³ molecule^–1 s^–1 for CH₂=CHCl, CH₂=CCl₂, CHCl=CCl₂ andcis-CHCl=CHCl, respectively.  相似文献   

Resistance of a soil layer to horizontal vibration of a pile     

Mette Thiel Nielsen 《地震工程与结构动力学》1982,10(3):497-510

The resistance of a soil to horizontal harmonic vibration of a vertical, end bearing pile with circular cross-section is theoretically investigated. The soil is considered to be a continuum with material damping of the hysteretic type. The motions of the soil and pile are expressed as series, and a resistance coefficient on each term in the series of the pile motion is found. The resistance is found to depend on the excitation frequency, the pile slenderness and on the material properties of the soil. Finally a study of the influence of the parameters is carried out.  相似文献

Impedance of flexible suction caissons     

Morten Liingaard  Lars Andersen  Lars Bo Ibsen 《地震工程与结构动力学》2007,36(14):2249-2271

The dynamic response of offshore wind turbines is affected by the properties of the foundation and the subsoil. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the dynamic soil–structure interaction of suction caissons for offshore wind turbines. The investigations include evaluation of the vertical and coupled sliding–rocking vibrations, influence of the foundation geometry and examination on the properties of the surrounding soil. The soil is simplified as a homogenous linear viscoelastic material and the dynamic stiffness of the suction caisson is expressed in terms of dimensionless frequency‐dependent coefficients corresponding to different degrees of freedom. The dynamic stiffness coefficients for the skirted foundation are evaluated using a three‐dimensional coupled boundary element/finite element model. Comparisons with known analytical and numerical solutions indicate that the static and dynamic behaviours of the foundation are predicted accurately using the applied model. The analysis has been carried out for different combinations of the skirt length, Poisson's ratio of the subsoil and the ratio of the soil stiffness to the skirt stiffness.
