Barricade除草剂残留土壤后对黑麦草生长发育的影响

采用室内生物活性测定的方法,通过测定黑麦草的出苗率、叶色、株高和地上部鲜质量等生理指标,研究Barricade除草剂残留土壤后对黑麦草的药害。试验结果表明:Barricade除草剂残留土壤30 d内,对黑麦草的出苗率、叶色、株高及地上部鲜质量都有一定程度的影响,且药剂剂量越大影响越大,随着播种时间的推移,Barricade残留土壤后对黑麦草生长发育的影响逐渐减少;残留药后45 d播种黑麦草,Barricade除草剂对黑麦草的出苗率及叶色基本无影响。Barricade除草剂在黑麦草播种前45 d以上使用,有效成分用量为585～780 g/hm2时对黑麦草相对安全。

Safety of barricades in cemented paste-backfilled stopes

In underground mining,there has been an increasing use of"cemented paste"for the backfilling of stopes.As this cemented paste backfill(CPB)enters the stope as a fluid,shotcrete barricades are often used to retain the fill material during and after the filling operations.However,failures of barricades have been reported around the world in recent years.This paper presents an analytical solution based on the elastic thin plate theory for calibrating the design of shotcrete barricades in underground mines using CPB.This solution was used to determine the quantitative relationships between the lateral loading from the paste and the barricade response during the backfilling process.The results show that the proposed solution agrees well with in situ data.According to the actual barricade responses,the acceptable tensile stress and an analysis method of cracks development are proposed.The proposed solution has practical significance for underground mines.

Mechanics and safety issues in tailing-based backfill:A review

Voids(referred to as "stopes") are generally created during underground mining activities and can lead to both local and regional geotechnical instabilities. To assist in managing the stability of mining-related voids and improving the recovery of orebodies, tailing-based backfill technology has been widely used around the world. In the design of tailing-based backfill strategy, the specific function and engineering requirements of the filling are intimately dependent on the stress distribution within the backfilled stope. In this paper, the main mechanics involved in tailing-based backfill in underground mines, which include arching, consolidation, hydration process, and movement of surrounding rocks, are reviewed. Research on the safety of a barricade and stability of an exposed fill face are also presented. In conclusion, the backfilling process should be performed on the basis of a better understanding of the complicated interactions of the mechanisms of filling, consolidation, and hydration process(when cement is added).

Nuclear Energy and Its History: Past Consequences, Present Inadequacies and a Perspective for Success

An attempt is made to locate nuclear technology within a logical context considering history, risks, societal catastrophes and perspectives: the need is identified for a new direction in the exploitation in order to restore the role in energy production. We depict the situation coming from a marvelous history of discoveries started at the beginning of the XX century;heroes are recalled who made possible something that is inconceivable today: design, construction and production of electricity in a few years;that history was tainted by intentional nuclear explosions, i.e. the original sin that we are now paying. Then, we attempt to show that the societal risk is an inherent part of the civilization. Restoring the public trust (towards nuclear fission technology) by matching nuclear safety with the current technological status and advancers in risk assessment is the key objective. The “independent assessment”, or a principle for the exploitation of nuclear energy already stated in the 50’s of the previous century, shall then re-appear. This is used to erect the signpost for a “dynamic barricade” to further reduce the risk of operation of nuclear reactors and to match the design with current technological capabilities and with the frontiers of the research.
