[Method] Three snow water collecting sites were set on a sunny slope in western Tianshan Mountains to measure the snowmelt rates at hourly interval. The positive sensible heat and negative latent heat fluxes were calculated by the energy balance snowmelt model; the snowmelt rate was also estimated by the model. Finally, the ac- curacy for the model was investigated in detail. [Result] The results indicated that sensible heat fluxes and latent heat fluxes accounted for 13.4% of total energy input and 15.1% of energy output, respectively. A good agreement between observed and estimated SWE was proved by low volume difference and the high Nash-Sutcliff coef- ficients(R2) which were 0.86, 0.92 and 0.91, respectively. [Conclusion] The energy balance snowmelt model has been proved to be a powerful tool for snowmelt estimation.展开更多

The model was tested at the Juntanghu watershed on the northern slope of the Tian Shan Mountains, Xinjiang,China. We compared the performances of temperature-index method and energy balanced method in SWAT model by taking Juntanghu river basin as an application example(as the simulation experiment was conducted in Juntanghu River, we call the energy balanced method as SWAT-JTH). The results suggest that the SWAT snowmelt model had overall Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency(NSE) coefficients ranging from 0.61 to 0.85 while the physical based approach had NSE coefficients ranging from 0.58 to0.69. Overall, on monthly scale, the SWAT model provides better results than that from the SWAT-JTH model. However, results generated from both methods seem to be fairly close at a daily scale. Thestructure of the temperature-index method is simple and produces reasonable simulation results if the parameters are well within empirical ranges. Although the data requirement for the energy balance method in current observation is difficult to meet and the existence of uncertainty is associated with the experimental approaches of physical processes, the SWAT-JTH model still produced a reasonably high NSE. We conclude that using temperature-index methods to simulate the snowmelt process is sufficient, but the energy balance-based model is still a good choice to simulate extreme weather conditions especially when the required data input for the model is acquired.展开更多

The possibility to introduce in the Italian context the DMS (direct melting system) technology, designed and manufactured by Nippon Steel Engineering Co. Ltd., has been taken into account for the scope of proposed work. DMS technology consists in MSW gasification, slags melting and combustion of the syngas produced, with the consequent generation of electric energy through a steam cycle. The system minimizes environmental impact, thanks to an effective recycling of useful resources such as inert melted slags and metals, featuring high flexibility in terms of treatment capacity due to its modular design. The aim of this article is to consider different plant configurations in order to optimize the energy recovery downstream the DMS module. As a case study, landfill gas exploitation integrated in the DMS plant will be considered as a typical situation that could occur in the Italian scenario. The energetic input provided by the biogas allows improving the thermo-economic performances according to market incentives.展开更多

Then principal components are extracted through reconstructing multi effects. Moreover, combining with the optimal estimation theory, the method of singular value diagnosis in dam safety monitoring effect values is proposed. After dam monitoring information matrix is obtained, single effect state estimation matrix and multi effect fusion estimation matrix are constructed to make diagnosis on singular values to reduce false alarm rate. And the diagnosis index is calculated by PCA. These methods have already been applied to an actual project and the result shows the ability of the monitoring effect reflecting dam evolution behavior is improved as dam safety monitoring effect fusion estimation can take accurate identification on singular values and achieve data reduction, filter out noise and lower false alarm rate effectively.展开更多

The OMVs of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were extracted by pressure-induced ammonium sulfate precipitation,and their particle size, distribution, zeta potential, protein content and stability were determined. Several types of liposomes were prepared by thin film dispersion method, and the OMVs were decorated by vortexing, sonication and extrusion, respectively. The interaction between liposome and OMV was studied with fluorescence resonance energy transfer(FRET) method. The results showed that the OMVs were spherical in shape and negatively charged. The vortexing method exerted little effect on the particle size and distribution of the decorated OMVs. The sonication process reduced the particle size and distribution of OMVs. FRET experiment indicated that the OMVs were decorated through membrane fusion. The above-mentioned results indicated that liposomes could successfully decorate OMVs, and decorated OMVs certainly widened their applications.展开更多

The 3.9 μm emission from Nd^(3+) ions is attributed to the two-photon absorption process. The strong emission transition at 3.9 μm fluorescence peak intensity, corresponding to the ~4G_(11/2)→~2K_(13/2) transition, is directly proportional to the NaCl concentration. With the increase of the Cl-ions amount, the mid-infrared(MIR) luminescent intensity is significantly enhanced. Additionally, the Judd-Ofelt(J-O) parameter ?_2 is larger than that of the fluorozirconate(FZ) glass, which indicates the covalency of the bond between RE ions and ligand is stronger as Cl-ions substitution of F-ions in chloride FZ glass. The X-ray diffraction(XRD) patterns show that the amorphous glassy state keeps the FZ glass network structure. In brief, the advantageous spectroscopic characteristics make the Nd^(3+)-doped FCZ glass be a promising candidate for application of 3.9 μm emission.展开更多

文摘The Nd^(3+) doped fluorochlorozirconate(FCZ) glass was prepared by melt-quenching method. The 3.9 μm emission from Nd^(3+) ions is attributed to the two-photon absorption process. The strong emission transition at 3.9 μm fluorescence peak intensity, corresponding to the ~4G_(11/2)→~2K_(13/2) transition, is directly proportional to the NaCl concentration. With the increase of the Cl-ions amount, the mid-infrared(MIR) luminescent intensity is significantly enhanced.
