Coastal wetlands are ecologically important all over the world, and they are relatively unstable with dramatic changes in aboveground vegetation. However, it is still unclear how the aboveground vegetation changes will influence the functioning of coastal wetland ecosystems, especially the decomposition processes. Here, we carried out a cotton strip experiment to examine the effects of Suaeda salsa community on the soil properties and the associated cellulose decomposition rates in the coastal wetlands of Liao River delta (NE China). Our results showed that S. salsa community significantly affected the contents of soil C, N, P, base cations, organic matter and the soil electrical conductivity (EC), and such effects might vary among different types or densities of aboveground vegetation. The soil cellulose decomposition rate (in terms of cotton strip tensile strength loss, CTSL) was slowed down when aboveground S. salsa communities are experiencing degradation or have been totally replaced by Phragmites australis communities. Moreover, there were positive partial correlations between soil N and CTSL, and between soil EC and CTSL, but a negative partial correlation between soil C and CTSL. Our results emphasized the importance of S. salsa community in determining the soil cellulose decomposition rate in this coastal region. The results suggest that vegetation degradation in coastal wetlands might lead to various changes in soil properties and hence affect other aspects of ecosystem functioning and services, especially nutrient cycling.

Catalytic cracking of volatiles derived from wet pig manure (WPM), dried pig manure and their compost was investigated over Ni/Al2O3 and Ni-loaded on lignite char (Ni/C). Non-catalytic pyrolysis of WPM resulted in a carbon conversion of 43.3% and 18.5% in heavy tar and light tar, respectively. No tar was formed when Ni/Al2O3 was introduced for WPM gasification and the gas yield significantly reached to a high value of 64.4 mmol/g at 650°C. When Ni/C was employed, 5.9% of carbon in the light tar was found at 650°C, revealing that the Ni/C is not active enough for cracking of tarry materials. The pyrolysis vapor was cracked completely and gave a H2-rich tar free syngas in high yield. High water amount of WPM promotes steam gasification of char support, causing the deactivation of Ni/C. Such a study may be beneficial to the development of livestock manure catalytic gasification technology.

Iron ore tailing is a kind of hazardous solid waste produced by iron and steel industry. In order to separate and recycle iron from the magnetic preconcentrate of an iron ore tailing, an innovative technological route of fluidized magnetization roasting followed by low-intensity magnetic separation was proposed in this paper. The effects of roasting temperature, dosages of reducing gas CO and fluidizing gas N2 on recovery rate of iron were carried out and optimized. The results showed that the hematite was almost reduced to magnetite by a gas mixture of 4 m3/h CO and 1 m3/h N2 at roasting temperature of 540 °C. Under the optimized conditions, a magnetic concentrate assaying 61.4 wt% Fe with a recovery rate of 81.8% was obtained from the magnetic preconcentrate of an iron ore tailing. The iron chemical phase, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and optical metallographic microscope analyses revealed that siderite was converted to magnetite successfully after roasting, and some coarse magnetite-hematite interlocking particles were formed due to insufficient reaction time, which could also be recovered by magnetic separation after liberating from gangue minerals.

To overcome the depth-of-field limitation of an optical microscope image, a three-dimensional measurement method with a superior depth-of-field is proposed. In the proposed method, light-field information of different angles is obtained by moving the aperture and the three-dimensional scene is reconstructed by using a computational reconstruction technology. First, stereo matching of different aperture position images is performed to obtain the multi-aperture imaging deviation. The focal plane moving distance is thereby estimated. Then, the relational expression between the image coordinates and the focal plane moving distance is determined according to the image coordinates. Two dimensional coordinates of the space point are obtained by the expression coefficients. Finally, the depth coordinates are computed, and three-dimensional reconstruction of the spatial points is completed. Experiments of three-dimensional measurements of the calibration board with different angles and circuit boards are conducted. The results show that the maximum error of the distance measurement is controlled into 0.84%, and the maximum angle measurement error is controlled into 4.56%.

Highly ordered TiO2 nanotube arrays (TiO2 NTs) were prepared by anodic oxidizing method on a surface of Ti substrate. Fabrication of nitrogen-doped TiO2 nanotube arrays (N-TiO2 NTs) was carried out by immersion in ammonia solution. CdS nanoparticles loaded N-doped TiO2 nanotube arrays (CdS/N-TiO2 NTs) were obtained by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) technique. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The results indicate that the TiO2 nanotube diameter and wall thickness are 100 nm to 120 nm and 20 nm to 30 nm, respectively. Moreover, the morphology and structure of the highly ordered TiO2 NTs are not affected by N-doping. Furthermore, CdS nanoparticles are evenly distributed on the surface of TiO2 NTs. Finally, the photocatalytic activity of CdS/N-TiO2 NTs was evaluated by degradation of MO under visible-light irradiation. Compared with TiO2 NTs, N-TiO2 NTs, CdS/N-TiO2 NTs exhibited enhanced photocatalytic properties, and the highest degradation rate of CdS/N-TiO2NTs could reach 97.6 % after 90 min of irradiation.

We analyze quadratic performance for switched systems which are composed of a finite set of affine time-varying subsystems, where both subsystem matrices and affine vectors are switched, and no single subsystem has desired quadratic performance. The quadratic performance indexes we deal with include stability, tracking and L2 gain. We show that if a linear convex combination of subsystem matrices is uniformly Hurwitz and another convex combination of affine vectors is zero, then we can design a state-dependent switching law (state feedback) and an output-dependent switching law (output feedback) such that the entire switched affine system is quadratically stable at the origin. In the case where the convex combination of affine vectors is nonzero, we show that the tracking control problem can be posed and solved using a similar switching strategy. Finally, we consider the L2 gain analysis problem for the switched affine time-varying systems under state feedback.

Nitrocellulose (NC) is a common, commercially available, cellulosederived material and has been functionalized and widely applied in microfluidic technology, immunoassays and biochemical analyses. However, existing testing parameters always fail to completely and accurately reflect its inherent quality. In this study, we have designed and assembled a novel automatic polarizing microscope test system (PMTS) to scientifically test the nitrogen content and uniformity of nitration of NC based on the chromogenic principle of a polarization microscope. The advantages of this system are: (i) the PMTS requires less sample (only a few micrograms); (ii) the test period is shorter and the results can be obtained within 20 min; (iii) the method belongs to the nondestructive testing group, and the NC sample is not burned, dissolved, or damaged; and (iv) this method has increased accuracy, and the deviation of the nitrogen content is less than ±0.05%. The properties of various NC samples prepared by different nitricsulfuric acid systems from raw materials with diverse maturities were determined via PMTS. Five NC samples with different nitrogen contents (10.9%, 11.5%, 11.8%, 12.6% and 13.5%) were tested, and the variance of the corresponding uniformity of nitration of these samples were 3.17, 1.61, 1.15, 1.76, and 2.83. The uniformity of nitration initially decreased and then increased with increasing nitrogen content, and the best uniformity of nitration appeared at a nitrogen content of 12%. We also found that fibre maturity has a positive effect on the uniformity of nitration. This testing device and method, with its cost-effectiveness and field-portability, can significantly improve the accuracy of nitration content and uniformity, and has an important value in practical applications.

During exploitation process of fractured reservoir, the complex distribution of natural fracture system may lead to a series of accidents, such as sand plug and multi fracture extension in hydraulic fracturing operation. Considering the difficulties of numerical analysis on formation rock mass fracture system distribution, three-dimensional geometry model of a single fracture formation is proposed in this paper, and fractal geometry method is introduced to build the three-dimensional fractal description model of formation fracture system distribution. On this basis, the effects of fractal parameters on natural fracture porosity, permeability and other properties are analyzed. The results show that: First, the number and propagation of natural fracture are controlled by the fractal dimension, the number of groups and the initial quantity. Second, the fractal dimension of natural fracture distribution has an obvious effect on natural fracture porosity and permeability. Third, porosity and permeability of natural fracture distribution both experience exponential growth as fractal dimension increases. Fourth, when the fractal dimension remains constant, the porosity and permeability of natural fractures both increase with the fracture scale.

W trakcie eksploatacji złoża zalęgającego w spękanych warstwach i pokładach złożony system naturalnych spękań prowadzić może do licznych incydentów, np. powstawania zatorów piaskowych lub nadmiernego rozszerzenia spękań w trakcie szczelinowania hydraulicznego. Z uwagi na trudności związane z analizą numeryczną rozkładu spękań skał macierzystych, w pracy zaproponowano trójwymiarowy model geometryczny pojedynczego pęknięcia z wykorzystaniem metod geometrii fraktalnej do opracowania trójwymiarowego modelu opisującego powstawanie układu spękań i ich rozkład. Na tej podstawie przeanalizowano wpływ parametrów fraktalnych na naturalną porowatość pękniętych skał, ich przepuszczalność oraz pozostałe właściwości. Wyniki badań wskazują że, po pierwsze, liczba i tempo propagacji naturalnych spękań uzależnione są od wymiarów fraktalnych, liczby grup i wielkości początkowej. Po drugie, wymiary fraktalne naturalnego systemu spękań skał mają zdecydowany wpływ na porowatość i przepuszczalność. Po trzecie, porowatość i przepuszczalność naturalnych systemów pęknięć wykazują wzrost w miarę wzrastania wymiarów fraktalnych. Po czwarte, gdy wymiary fraktalne pozostają niezmienne, zarówno porowatość i przepuszczalność naturalnych spękań rosną wraz ze skalą fraktali.

Smart Buildings is a modern building that allows residents to have sustainable comfort with high efficiency of electricity usage. These objectives could be achieved by applying appropriate, capable optimization algorithms and techniques. This paper presents a Housing Development Building Management System (HDBMS) strategy inspired by Building Energy Management System (BEMS) concept that will integrate with smart buildings using Supply Side Management (SSM) and Demand Side Management (DSM) System. HDBMS is a Multi-Agent System (MAS) based decentralized decision making system proposed by various authors. MAS based HDBMS was created using JAVA on a IEEE FIPA compliant multi-agent platform named JADE. It allows agents to communicate, interact and negotiate with energy supply and demand of the smart buildings to provide the optimal energy usage and minimal electricity costs. This results in reducing the load of the power distribution system in smart buildings which simulation studies has shown the potential of proposed HDBMS strategy to provide the optimal solution for smart building energy management.

Under the new normal of China’s economy, the competition among the port enterprises is not only the competition of the core competence of the port, the port industry chain or the port supply chain, but also the competition of the port service ecosystem. In this paper, the concept and characteristics of the port service ecosystem is discussed, a hierarchical model of the port service ecosystem is constructed. As an extended logistic model, Lotka-Volterra model is applied to study the competitive co-evolution and mutually beneficial co-evolution of enterprises in the port service ecosystem. This paper simulates the co-evolution of enterprises in the port service ecosystem by using MATLAB programming. The simulation results show that the breadth of the niche of the enterprises is changing with the change of the competition coefficient and the coefficient of mutual benefit in the port service ecosystem. Based on that, some proposals are put forward to ensure the healthy and orderly development of the port service ecosystem.

We comparatively studied the ball mill grinding characteristics of comminuted hematite products using a high-pressure grinding roll (HPGR) and a conventional cone crusher (CC). The major properties, including grinding kinetics and technical efficiency (Et), were investigated. The parameters in m-th order grinding kinetics were analyzed, and grinding specific rates were visualized. Ore particles experienced three inherent stages in ball grinding mills, that is i) rapid grinding of coarse fraction, ii) dynamic grinding of medium size fraction, and iii) single grinding of medium size fraction. Particles with size -0.043+0.031 mm were used into dynamic grinding stage earlier than particles -0.105+0.043 mm, and then over-grinding of fines occurred easily. Compared with CC products, HPGR products had significantly shorter turning time points in three breakage stages, implying that HPGR products were ground faster with earlier occurrence of fines over-grinding. HPGR products gave lower Et at a decreasing rate than the CC products for -2.0 mm and -0.5 mm feeds. Then, it showed a slightly higher value of Et for -2.0+0.5 mm feed. This indicated that fines over-grinding in HPGR full-size products were more serious under the condition of coarse grinding, whereas the efficiency was higher, and over-grinding weakened significantly in HPGR coarse products because of screening-out fines.

The formation mechanism of regularly arranged tubular pores during an acid-based electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process was explored by studying the influence of gauze electrodes and suspension properties on the pore structures. The gauze electrodes can change the intensity of electrical field on the electrode surface, and thus control the pore locations. The mesh size not only restricts the ultimate pore size, but also determines the regularity of the pores. Under specific experimental conditions, a critical value of mesh size for attaining the regularity of the pores arrangement can be determined. Meanwhile, the pore structures can be controlled by a combination of pH value and zeta potential of the suspensions. The strength of the acidity is also one of the determinants to the final structures.

Optical dating of earthquake related sediments were investigated including one modern sample and three samples from a trench excavated across the 1985 Ms7.4 Wuqia Earthquake surface rupture. The results indicated that equivalent dose (De) values vary with grain size and the method used for De determination. The residual dose of the modern sample is 0.1 ka ( 0.2+0.2−0.1 Gy) for the quartz single grain measurements. Only 1.5–3.6% of the grains have a detectable OSL signal. Single grain quartz ages are similar to the expected ages. Fine grain quartz results overestimate the De values and are much older than single grain quartz and coarse grain quartz small aliquot standardized growth curve (SA-SGC) ages. Single grain quartz OSL dating may be optimal for dating earthquake related deposits, but SA-SGC can save measurement time and has potential for dating some poorly bleaching samples.

The performance of microbial fuel cell (MFC) in treating potato waste was evaluated using a two-chamber MFC supplied with potato liquid after mastication of market available fresh potato. Evaluation was conducted based on electricity generation, organic matter removal (CODCr, DOC and volatile fatty acids (VFAs)), and microbial structure on the anode and in the anodic solution of the reactor. Current density exhibited a trend that followed the concentration changes of organic matter in the solution, with its highest value being observed as 208 mA/m2. Effective removal of organic matter was also observed. By the end of the experiment, the removal for total COD reached about 84%. Bacterial structure analysis based on PCR, DGGE and sequencing indicated that more species were developed in the anodic solution than on the anode, with Proteobacteria, Firmicutes and Bacteroides being dominant. Geobacter, a well reported exoelectrogenic species, was found more predominant on the anode than in the anodic solution. The results thus indicated that simultaneous stabilization and electricity generation could be achieved when potato waste is treated in MFC.

When operating in confined waters such as ports, channels and canals, the ship’s master may not be familiar with the specific and up-to-date navigating conditions such as wind, current and tide. In this case, the master must rely on the knowledge and experience of local experts, the seaport and river pilots, to ensure the safety of the ship, crew and environment. This paper provides an overview of the initial and periodic training required by pilots directed by the China Maritime Safety Administration in accordance with IMO’s A.960 “Recommendation on Training and Certification and Operational Procedure Maritime Pilot Other Than Deep-Sea Pilot” and China’s pilot training requirements. The paper then goes into details describing how pilot training is implemented in Dalian Maritime University (DMU), taking into account the course setting, class hour arrangement, theory and practical class distribution of different class pilots, as well as examining the equipment requirements, trainer’s qualification, and trainee’s seagoing experiences. Based on the results of the China’s pilot training regime, recommendations will be made not only for improving China’s pilot training program, but also where DMU’s best practices may be implemented at other institutions engaged in pilot professional development.

Moss cushion plays an important role in recruitment of vascular plants. In this study, we examined the effects of water soluble extracts (WSE) of Abietinella abietina on germination of Qinghai spruce (Picea crassifolia) and the effects of moss substrates (A. abietina) on seedling emergence of P. crassifolia in two greenhouse experiments. We found that the WSE of moss affected germination of P. crassifolia in two ways: (1) the WSE reducing the risk of fungal infection to the seeds, improve the germination rate; and (2) the WSE affects germination by its concentration, that is, low concentrations of WSE (i.e., 0.5 mg ml-1 and 5 mg ml-1) stimulate, while high concentrations (i.e., 50 mg ml-1) inhibit it. In seedling emergence experiments, we detected that the moss substrates (both thick and thin mosses) facilitate the emergence of P. crassifolia in dry and intermediate moisture conditions, but inhibit it in moist conditions. In bare soil, the P. crassifolia emergence was also controlled by moisture conditions; the highest (60%) and the lowest (35%) emergence occurred in the moist conditions and dry conditions, respectively. We also found that P. crassifolia seedlings were thinner and taller, but their number higher in moss cushion than in bare soil. Thus we conclude that there is nurse effect of A. abietina cushion on recruitment of P. crassifolia in both dry and intermediate moisture conditions.
