This experiment was scheduled to take place at Egbema flow station which is managed by NPDC (Nigerian Petroleum Development Commission) Shell location 2 in Obiakpu, Ohaji Imo state. The bad effects of these pollutant gases on the community can include cause of diseases to plants and animals, causes of physical ailments in the respiratory tract of humans, and death and degradation of the surrounding environment. The parameters measured during this exercise include the distance from the flow station, latitude and longitude of the distance measured on the earth’s surface, time for the experiment and the concentration of pollutant gases. The instrument used includes CO meter, CO<sub>2</sub> meter, SO<sub>x</sub> and NO<sub>x</sub> meters, and thermal radiation meter. The gases were measured in three different time intervals between 10:50 am - 11:23 am (for CO: 0.02 ppm, 0.01 ppm, 0 ppm, 0 ppm, 0.01 ppm, 0 ppm;for CO<sub>2</sub>: 0.04 ppm, 0.01 ppm, 0.01 ppm, 0.02 ppm, 0.01 ppm, 0 ppm;for SO<sub>x</sub>: 0 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0 mg/m<sup>3</sup>;for NO<sub>x</sub>: 0.127 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0.098 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0.12 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0.122 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0.113 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0.103 mg/m<sup>3</sup>;for thermal radiation: 57.4 W/m<sup>2</sup>, 61.5 W/m<sup>2</sup>, 65.1 W/m<sup>2</sup>, 64.9 W/m<sup>2</sup>, 81.9 W/m<sup>2</sup>, 148.3 W/m<sup>2</sup>), 1:30 pm - 2:13 pm (for CO: 0.01 ppm, 0.02 ppm, 0 ppm, 0 ppm, 0.1 ppm, 0 ppm;for CO<sub>2</sub>: 0.01 ppm, 0.01 ppm, 0.01 ppm, 0.01 ppm, 0 ppm, 0 ppm;for SO<sub>x</sub>: 0 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0 mg/m<sup>3</sup>;for NO<sub>x</sub>: 0.122 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0.117 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0.114 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0.115 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0.122 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0.11 mg/m<sup>3</sup>;for thermal radiation: 120.5 W/m<sup>2</sup>, 132.8 W/m<sup>2</sup>, 156.7 W/m<sup>2</sup>, 170.5 W/m<sup>2</sup>, 148.5 W/m<sup>2</sup>, 95.1 W/m<sup>2</sup>) and 5 pm - 5:37 pm (for CO: 0.02 ppm, 0.1 ppm, 0.1 ppm, 0 ppm, 0 ppm, 0 ppm;for CO<sub>2</sub>: 0.03 ppm, 0.2 ppm, 0.1 ppm, 0.1 ppm, 0 ppm, 0.1 ppm;for SO<sub>x</sub>: 0 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0 mg/m<sup>3</sup>;for NO<sub>x</sub>: 0.128 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0.118 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0.119 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0.117 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0.124 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, 0.114 mg/m<sup>3</sup>;for thermal radiation: 121.4 W/m<sup>2</sup>, 133.3 W/m<sup>2</sup>, 160.2 W/m<sup>2</sup>, 177 W/m<sup>2</sup>, 161.4 W/m<sup>2</sup>, 97.2 W/m<sup>2</sup>) at distances of 0 m, 100 m, 300 m, 500 m, 1000 m and 1500 m respectively. From the values gotten from the gas concentration measurements, we can say that SO<sub>x</sub> gases are either minute or not available in the environment. Also, from the graph analysis carried out on the gases, we can also say that CO<sub>2</sub> concentration is either increasing or at the same level throughout the distance while the concentrations of NO<sub>x</sub>, CO and thermal radiation reduce with increasing distance. On the part of the “averaging time model” used in the analysis, we can say that at increasing averaging times the concentration of gases reduces. Analysis of whether the environment is polluted and with which gas exactly is also carried out using the Air quality index and it was deduced that the environment is polluted with NO<sub>x</sub> gases because the concentration is above the normal environmental ambient temperature.展开更多

The study area contains a cascade of six large hydropower stations located along the river with total capacity of more than 70 million kilowatts. The purpose of the study was to determine potential and dynamic differences in debris flow susceptibility and intensity with regard to seasonal monsoon events. We analyzed this region's debris flow history by examining the effective peak acceleration of antecedent earthquakes,the impacts of antecedent droughts, the combined effects of earthquakes and droughts, with regard to topography, precipitation, and loose solid material conditions. Based on these factors, we developed a debris flow susceptibility map. Results indicate that the entire debris flow susceptibility area is 167,500 km^2, of which 26,800 km^2 falls within the high susceptibility area, with 60,900 km^2 in medium and 79,800 km^2 are in low susceptibility areas. Three of the six large hydropower stations are located within the areas with high risk of debris flows. The synthetic zonation map of debris flow susceptibility for the study area corresponds with both the investigation data and actual distribution of debris flows. The results of debris flow susceptibility provide base-line data for mitigating, assessing, controlling and monitoring of debris flows hazards.展开更多

Firstly, the design of the toll plaza is mainly through analyzing the daily traffic flow, different charging mode of construction cost and waiting time of the United States. Secondly, exploring traffic conditions is divided into two kinds, based on the traffic flow speed-density flow model. Then, a fuzzy-BP neural network model is constructed, with capacity, cost, and safety factor as the input layers and performance as the output layer. It is concluded that this scheme will reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents, so it is desirable. Considering that the increase in unmanned vehicles will lead to an increase in safety performance, we increase the number of electronic toll stations to improve security performance and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.展开更多

The numerical results of the preliminary scheme show that sediment deposition occurs in the forebay of pumping station because of poor flow pattern therein. In order to improve hydraulic configuration in the forebay,one modified measure reconstructs water diversion weir shape,and another measure sets a water retaining sill in the approach channel. The simulation results of the modified scheme prove that back flow in the forebay has been eliminated and the sediment deposition region has also been reduced.展开更多
