Objective. Research on bio-mechanical features of the Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex in Human Wrist can provide theoretical basis for injury prevention, rehabilitation, artificial materials replacement and etc. Method. Use the biomaterial micro-scale test system to conduct stress-relaxation test and one-dimensional tensile failure test on eight cases of fresh specimens from adult male Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex in Human Wrist. Findings. 1. For the various structures and parts of TFCC there is significant difference in the stress relaxation rate. Comparison among parts of carpal fibrocartilage plates shows significant differences in elastic response, while ligamenta and tendon sheath comparison shows no significant difference. 2. The elastic response of all parts of wrist fibrous cartilage is quite different; The difference is little for ligamenta and tendon sheath. The visco-elasticity of the dorsal part of the wrist fibrous cartilage is stronger than that of the palm part. The dorsal part may bear large load; Visco-elasticity and capability to bear load do not differ greatly for ligamenta, tendon sheath and other parts of soft tissues. The fracture stress is relatively large for the dorsal ulnar plate of the wrist fibrous cartilage, and relatively small for extensor carpi ulnaris tendon sheath. 3. The constitutive equation constant was calculated for each part of the wrist fibrous cartilage, ligamenta and tendon sheath, and as a further result, the normalized stress relaxation function, elastic response and the constitutive equation are derived. Interpretation. The causes of injury in the ligamenta and tendon sheath mainly relate to the form of sports and range of motion. The fracture stress is larger in fibrous cartilage back foot, while it is smaller in the carpi-ulnaris tendon sheath. The former is not easily to be injured in motion, while the latter is prone to be injured.

As a solid waste, fly ash has a great potential in environmental applications and interesting alternative to replace activated carbon or zeolites for adsorption in the air or water pollution treatment. Turn waste into wealth has a profound significance. The adsorption capacity of fly ash may be increased after chemical and physical activation. In this paper, we talk about some modifications of fly ash and some researches have discussed using modified fly ash to treat kinds of waste water which contain pollutions such like heavy metals, dye, fluoride and phenol. Future research and some present disadvantages in these areas are also discussed.

The newly published mathematical model of emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) for type II facilitation was verified with phenol removal experiment, a type I facilitation. The experimental parameters were put into the analytical solution of the mathematical model of ELM. The theoretical prediction of phenol concentration in aqueous phase were compared with the actual phenol removal experimental data. The deviation of the model and experimental data were calculated.

Falls often cause serious injury and health threats for elderly people. It is also the major obstacle to independent living for frail and elderly people. Many researchers try to establish an efficient fall prevention strategies for elderly people by collecting a lot of fall characteristics. However, it is difficult to obtain these characteristics simply from the questionnaires of elderly people. Since they may forget or misremember their falling scenario. In this work, we propose a fall characteristics collection system for designing fall prevention strategies. A waist-mounted tri-axial accelerometer is used to capture the movement data of the human body when elderly people fall. Then, the proposed algorithm uses the variations of angle between acceleration vector and three axes to determine the fall characteristics which include falling directions and impact parts. Experimental results demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed scheme. The system is not only cost effective but also portable that fulfills the requirements of fall characteristics data collection.

This paper analyze of the present situation of the water supply system in the rural area of Beijing city. Based on the investigation and statistical data, it was established that integrated domestic water consumption ranged between 30 and 120 L/cap.d in Beijing rural area. Most of the villages had developed underground water for residential use. More than 97% of the villages that had a surface water source had a contamination problem. More than 81% of villages with a constructed pipeline had an aged or corroded water supply pipe system, along with partial or even serious pipe leaks. 29.5% of all the villages have a decentralized water supply system and 70.5% have a centralized water supply as well. The centralized water supply system service rate reaches 78.7% of villages in all, and the tap beneficial rate is 95.7% The water of above 97% villages does not meet the requirements of the Drinking Water Sanitation Standard, thus the problem of the instability of water quality should be addressed. If a reconstruction and improvement strategy were to be made, the water source, water distribution system, water supply mode, water quality and water pressure would be highlighted. It will guide the way to water supply system reconstruction and improvement of villages in Beijing.

Human health has been great threatened by acid wastewater containing thallium. The feasibility of start-up Sulfate-Reducing Bioreactor with acid wastewater containing thallium had been studied in the experiment. Sulfate-Reducing Bioreactor being started up successfully within 136 days with the method of high rate cultivation had been demonstrated. The results showed that the average removal efficiencies of sulfate achieved 25.21%, 61.08% and 93.39% during the lag phase, the increase phase and the steady phase of the Sulfate-Reducing Bioreactor, respectively. A preferable removal efficiency of thallium had been achieved, corresponding to the average thallium removal efficiency of 97.97% during the experimental period. However, COD in the acid wastewater mixture need further treatment due to removal efficiency of COD was not well, corresponding to the average removal efficiency of 26.12% in the steady phase of Sulfate-Reducing Bioreactor. The ratio of removal COD to sulfate reduced gradually and tented to be steady with the advance of start-up process of the bioreactor, which had been demonstrated that positive relevance was existed between the ratio of removal COD to sulfate and sulfate removal efficiency of the bioreactor.
