Nickel (Ni) plays an important role in the growth of plants, but it is also a kind of heavy metal which can easily enrich in soil and exert toxic effect on plants. To evaluate the Ni stress on the maize growth, a pot experiment was conducted by black soils sampled from the field in the middle of Jilin province. And Ni was equilibrated in the soils to graded levels from 0 to 800mg kg−1 soil. The main results were as follows: The concentration of Ni in maize had a negative correlation with the plant dry weight. The symptom of Ni toxicity was as follows: maize root was short and thin, leaf curled with barred vain and fade blade tip, and it was brown and rotten at the connection of the petiole and roots. In this study, the fitting equation of Y=0.3071+0.0012X+-0.0001CX2 described the extremely significant relationship between the amount of effective Ni in soil (when it was below 30mg/kg) and the dry matter weight of maize. The amount of effective Ni in soil (DTPA extracted) which could provide maize with the best growing state was 6.00mg/kg, the toxicity critical value was 11.48mg/kg, the range of Ni luxury absorption was 6.00 -11.48mg/kg. 11.48- 32.77mg/kg caused maize mild toxicity; 32.77-67.38mg/kg caused moderate toxicity and over 67.38mg/kg leaded to serious toxicity. When maize took place mild toxicity, the content of Ni in maize was 33.40-66.40mg/kg. Moderate toxicity was 66.40-111.40mg/kg. Serious toxicity was over 111.40mg/kg. The equations of Y=-0.0013X+0.3126, Y=-0.0010X+0.3364 could be used to express the relationship between effective Ni in soil, Ni in maize and the dry matter weight of maize when toxicity happened. The highest Ni fixed rate was 23.98% when the soil received 25mg/kg Ni.

The research reveals the relationship and enrichment of heavy metals in soil of sewage irrigation area in Guangdong province, southern China. Samples were collected from topsoil (0-10cm) and subsoil (30-40cm), and the total concentrations of heavy metals were extracted by HNO3-HF-HClO4. It is concluded that Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb may be homologous or combined pollution, and Mn and Cr may be also homologous in soil. According to the result of cluster analysis, it is shown that Se and As may have the similar environmental geochemical behavior in topsoil, because the existing forms of them in environment are mainly acid anions. We can conclude that a significant degree of metal pollution exists in soil of sewage irrigation area, particularly for Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn. The degrees of contamination of heavy metals in topsoil (CF of Cd 8.1, Cu 7.0, Zn 5.9, Pb 3.6, Ni 2.1, As 1.8, Cr 1.6, Se 1.5) were higher than that in subsoil (CF of Cd 6.0, Cu 3.4, Zn 3.7, Pb 2.7, Ni 2.0, As 1.6, Cr 1.5, Se 1.4). EF values show deficiency enrichment with Ni, Se, Cr and As, low enrichment with Cu, Zn and Pb, and moderate enrichment with Cd in topsoil in study area, while deficiency enrichment with Ni, Se, Cr, Pb and As, and low enrichment with Cu, Zn and Cd in subsoil in study area.It should be recognized that the hazards posed by food production in sewage irrigation areas may become a common hazard for human.

In order to reduce the negative effect of lower-temperature water released from the intake to the environment in the downstream reach, a selective withdrawal structure will adopted in Glen Canyon Dam. The 3D numerical model EFDC was used to simulate the velocity fields and water temperatures released with surface and lower withdrawal. The numerical results of water temperature released are validated with the measured data. The velocity fields with surface and lower withdrawal indicate that the mainstream of withdrawal water column is located near the elevation of withdrawal intake. Temperatures of water released from the surface and lower withdrawal are simulated for twelve months. The temperatures of water released with a surface withdrawal are effectively enhanced compared with the lower withdrawal.

Indoor air quality of the new building has become a major concentration in China. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in new buildings were investigated and factors significant to their presence were discussed. Concentrations of volatile organic compounds, temperature and humidity were measured in four new apartment buildings over 6 months following installation. Formaldehyde concentrations in the new buildings were relatively low in the new buildings, which can satisfy the Indoor air quality standard of 0.10mg/m3. But the benzene and total volatile organic compound (TVOC) concentrations were extremely higher indoor, they were approximately three to four times higher than IAQ standard. Simultaneous outdoor samples were also collected to determine indoor to outdoor I/O. ratios for every compound at each location, which showing a dominant effect of indoor sources. The study revealed that the indoor concentrations of selected VOCs on occasions could be significantly high due to various sources. The data presented here can be useful in developing air quality standards for indoor air.

The effect of process parameters (pH, pulp density, inoculum volume of the nutrient medium, silver content) on the rate of copper solubilization was analyzed respectively through silver-catalyzed bioleaching experiments with microorganisms in shake flasks. These results show that the optimal process parameters are: pulp density, 2.5 wt%; silver content, 10mg/L; pH, 1.50-1.80; inoculum volume of the nutrient medium, 40vol%. Furthermore, the addition of the silver could catalyze the process of bioleaching, and high silver concentrations would be harmful to the bacterial activity and the copper extraction. pH and inoculum volume of the nutrient medium had a marked influence on the copper extraction and iron extraction. The bioleaching of the low-grade copper ore requires a minimum amount of the nutrient medium to obtain the maxium efficiency.illustrated by the portions given in this document.

This paper presents the evaluation of mental stress assessment using heart rate variability. The heart rate signals are processed first using Fourier transform, then it is applied to wavelet transform. The activity of the autonomic nervous system is noninvasively studied by means of autoregressive (AR) frequency analysis of the heart-rate variability (HRV) signal. Spectral decomposition of the Heart Rate Variability during whole night recordings was obtained, in order to assess the characteristic fluctuations in the heart rate. This paper presents a novel method of HRV analysis for mental stress assessment using fuzzy clustering and robust identification techniques. The approach consists of 1)online monitoring of heart rate signals, 2) signal processing using the Dyadic wavelet.

The approach consists of 1)online monitoring of heart rate signals, 2) signal processing using the Dyadic wavelet.","PeriodicalId":6396,"journal":{"name":"2010 4th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering","volume":"78 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78143156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
