A group of experiments was carded out in a reaction system at a pressure of 26MPa, temperature of 380℃ or 400℃ for 30min, 70min, and 120min by Course One （the increasing course of temperature and pressure is via gaseous regions to supercritical regions）, and the other group was carried out at corresponding holding conditions by Course Two （the increasing course of temperature and pressure is via liquid regions to supercritical regions）. The time of the increasing courses was about 30min. Products were analyzed by Ostward-type viscometer, gaseous chromatography, and mass spectrometers （GC/MS）. Characterization results suggested that different increasing courses of temperature and pressure would give rise to different results, although they were treated under the similar holding conditions. It was also found that Course Two was more effective on PP degradation in supercritical water.展开更多

Open-top chambers(OTCs)were utilized to increase air temperatures 1-2℃ in OTC-1 and 3-5℃ in OTC-2 in the alpine meadow ecosystem on the Qinghai- Tibetan Plateau.Results show that the annual air temperatures under OTC-1 and OTC-2 were 1.21℃ and 3.62℃ higher than the Control,respectively.The entirely-frozen period of shallow soil in the active layer was shortened and the fully thawed period was prolonged with temperature increase.The maximum penetration depth and duration of the negative isotherm during the entirely-frozen period decreased, and soil freezing was retarded in the local scope of the soil profile when temperature increased.Meanwhile, the positive isotherm during the fully-thawed period increased,and the soil thawing was accelerated.Soil moisture under different manipulations decreased with the temperature increase at the same depth. During the early freezing period and the early fully- thawed period,the maximum soil moisture under the Control manipulation was at 0.2 m deep,whereas under OTC-1 and OTC-2 manipulations,the maximum soil moisture were at 0.4-0.5 m deep. These results indicate that elevated temperatures led to a decrease of the moisture in the surface soil.The coupled relationship between soil temperature and moisture was significantly affected by the temperature increase.During the freezing and thawing processes, the soil temperature and moisture under different manipulations fit the regression model given by the equationθV=a/{1+exp[b(TS+c)]}+d.展开更多

This study systematically analyzed the dynamical processes responsible for the genesis of these events. It was found that the weak 2014 El Nio had two warming phases, the spring-summer warming was produced by zonal advection and downwelling Kelvin waves driven by westerly wind bursts(WWBs), and the autumn-winter warming was produced by meridional advection, surface heating as well as downwelling Kelvin waves. The 2015/2016 extreme El Nio, on the other hand, was primarily a result of sustained zonal advection and downwelling Kelvin waves driven by a series of WWBs, with enhancement from the Bjerknes positive feedback. The vast difference between these two El Nio events mainly came from the different amount of WWBs in 2014 and 2015. As compared to the 1982/1983 and 1997/1998 extreme El Nio events, the 2015/2016 El Nio exhibited some distinctive characteristics in its genesis and spatial pattern. We need to include the effects of WWBs to the theoretical framework of El Nio to explain these characteristics, and to improve our understanding and prediction of El Nio.展开更多

Oxygen atoms （O（a）） on Au（997） enhances the CO2 adsorption and stabilizes the adsorbed COe（a）, and the stabilization effect also depends on the CO2（a） coverage and involved Au sites. CO2（a） desorp- tion is the rate-limiting step for the CO＋O（a） reaction to produce CO2 on Au（997） at 105 K and exhibits complex behaviors, including the desorption of CO2（a） upon CO exposures at 105 K and the desorption of O（a）-stabilized CO2（a） at elevated temperatures. The desorption of CO2（a） from the surface upon CO exposures at 105 K to produce gaseous CO2 depends on the surface reaction extent and involves the reaction heat-driven CO2（a） desorption channel. CO＋O（a） reaction proceeds more easily with weakly-bound oxygen adatoms at the （111） terraces than strongly-bound oxygen adatoms at the （111） steps. These re- sults reveal complex rate-limiting COe（a） desorption behaviors during CO＋O（a） reaction on Au surfaces at low temperatures which provide novel information on the fundamental understanding of Au catalysis.展开更多
