Climate change is identified as a major threat to wetlands. Altered hydrology and rising temperature can change the biogeochemistry and function of a wetland to the degree that some important services might be turned into disservices. This means that they will, for example, no longer provide a water purification service and adversely they may start to decompose and release nutrients to the surface water. Moreover, a higher rate of decomposition than primary production (photosynthesis) may lead to a shift of their function from being a sink of carbon to a source. This review paper assesses the potential response of natural wetlands (peatlands) and constructed wetlands to climate change in terms of gas emission and nutrients release. In addition, the impact of key climatic factors such as temperature and water availability on wetlands has been reviewed. The authors identified the methodological gaps and weaknesses in the literature and then introduced a new framework for conducting a comprehensive mesocosm experiment to address the existing gaps in literature to support future climate change research on wetland ecosystems. In the future, higher temperatures resulting in drought might shift the role of both constructed wetland and peatland from a sink to a source of carbon. However, higher temperatures accompanied by more precipitation can promote photosynthesis to a degree that might exceed the respiration and maintain the carbon sink role of the wetland. There might be a critical water level at which the wetland can preserve most of its services. In order to find that level, a study of the key factors of climate change and their interactions using an appropriate experimental method is necessary. Some contradictory results of past experiments can be associated with different methodologies, designs, time periods, climates, and natural variability. Hence a long-term simulation of climate change for wetlands according to the proposed framework is recommended. This framework provides relatively more accurate and realistic simulations, valid comparative results, comprehensive understanding and supports coordination between researchers. This can help to find a sustainable management strategy for wetlands to be resilient to climate change. 相似文献

In nonlinear dynamic structural analysis, a suite of pulse-like ground motions is required for the performance-based design of structures near active faults. The dissimilarity in the amplitude and frequency content of the earthquake time series referred to nonstationary properties in temporal and spectral, respectively. An approach is proposed based on the nonstationary properties of the far-field records and the seismological information in an event for simulating pulse-like records. The pulse-like earthquake time history is estimated via the superposition of the residual part of the earthquake with the estimated pulse. The wavelet-based Hilbert transform is utilized to characterize the nonstationary properties, the instantaneous amplitude, and frequencies of far-field records to model residual part. The effects of near-fault and pulse are estimated based on the seismological properties of the region. The validation of the procedure is indicated by comparing simulated time-series, response spectra, and Arias intensity with recorded pulse-like records in two different earthquakes in California; the Mw 6.7 1994 Northridge and the Mw 6.5 1979 Imperial valley.

Roadheading machines play a vital role in excavation operation in tunneling and mining industries notably when selective mining is required. Roadheaders are more effective in soft to medium rock formations due to a higher cutting rate in such strata. A precise prediction of machine’s performance is a crucial issue, as it has considerable effects on excavation planning, project’s cost estimation, machine specification selection as well as safety of the project. In this research, a database of machine performance and some geomechanical parameters of rock formations from Tabas coal mine project, the largest and fully mechanized coal mine in Iran, has been established, including instantaneous cutting rate (ICR), uniaxial compressive strength, Brazilian tensile strength, rock quality designation, influence of discontinuity orientation (Alpha angle) and specific energy. Afterward, the parameters were analyzed through genetic programming (GP) and gene expression programming (GEP) approaches to yield more accurate models to predict the performance of roadheaders. As statistical indices, coefficient of determination, root mean square error and variance account were used to evaluate the efficiency of the developed models. According to the obtained results, it was observed that developed models can effectively be implemented for prediction of roadheader performance. Moreover, it was concluded that performance of the GEP model is better than the GP model. A high conformity was observed between predicted and measured roadheader ICR for GEP model. 相似文献

Lightning is an electrical discharge during thunderstorms that can be either within clouds (Inter-Cloud), or between clouds and ground (Cloud-Ground). The Lightning characteristics and their statistical information are the foundation for the design of lightning protection system as well as for the calculation of lightning radiated fields. Nowadays, there are various techniques to detect lightning signals and to determine various parameters produced by a lightning flash. Each technique provides its own claimed performances. In this paper, the characteristics of captured broadband electric fields generated by cloud-to-ground lightning discharges in South of Malaysia are analyzed. A total of 130 cloud-to-ground lightning flashes from 3 separate thunderstorm events (each event lasts for about 4–5 hours) were examined. Statistical analyses of the following signal parameters were presented: preliminary breakdown pulse train time duration, time interval between preliminary breakdowns and return stroke, multiplicity of stroke, and percentages of single stroke only. The BIL model is also introduced to characterize the lightning signature patterns. Observations on the statistical analyses show that about 79% of lightning signals fit well with the BIL model. The maximum and minimum of preliminary breakdown time duration of the observed lightning signals are 84 ms and 560 us, respectively. The findings of the statistical results show that 7.6% of the flashes were single stroke flashes, and the maximum number of strokes recorded was 14 multiple strokes per flash. A preliminary breakdown signature in more than 95% of the flashes can be identified. 相似文献

Recovery from incompletely water-wet fractured reservoirs can be extremely low. A reason for the low recovery is related to
wetting issues, whereas the reason for slow recovery can be the non-equilibrium behavior of capillary pressure. One of the
non-equilibrium theories is developed by Barenblatt et al. and it modifies both capillary pressure and relative permeabilities.
The other theory is developed by Hassanizadeh et al. and it only deals with non-equilibrium effects for capillary pressure.
To incorporate non-equilibrium in larger-scale problems, we apply homogenization to derive an upscaled model for fractured
reservoirs in which the non-equilibrium effects are included. We formulate a fully implicit three-dimensional upscaled numerical
model. Furthermore, we develop a computationally efficient numerical approach to solve the upscaled model. We use simulations
to determine the range of delay times and capillary-damping coefficients for which discernable effects occur in terms of oil
recovery. It is shown that at low Peclet numbers, i.e., when the residence time of the fluids in the fracture is long with
respect to the imbibition time, incorporation of delay times of the order of few months have no significant effect on the
oil recovery. However, when the Peclet number is large, the delay times reduce the rate of oil recovery. We discuss for which
values of the delay time (Barenblatt) and capillary-damping coefficient (Hassanizadeh), significant delays in oil production
occur. 相似文献

Prediction of vibration is very important in mining operations as well as civil engineering projects. In this paper, multi layer perceptron neural network (MLPNN), radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) and general regression neural network (GRNN) were utilized to predict ground vibration level in a Sarcheshmeh copper mine, Iran. It was observed that the MLPNN gives the best results. For this technique root mean square error and coefficient of correlation were found 0.03 and 0.954, respectively. Sensitivity analysis showed that distance from the blast, number of holes per delay and maximum charge per delay are the most effective parameters in making ground vibration in the blasting operation. 相似文献
