Rainfall and seismic activity have significant influence on the stability of dangerous rockmass. In this paper, the dangerous rockmasses are classified into three instability types according to the failure modes: sliding, falling, and toppling. The discrete element method (COMSOL) was carried out to investigate the stability of three different rockmass types. In the numerical simulation, three load...
Antimony ore tailings slag was used analyze heavy metals, chemical speciation, and leaching characteristics. The results show that the residual silicate phases account for 65.44% of Sb, 77.22% of As, 87.94% of Hg, 58.53% of Pb, 71.27% of Cd, and 96.34% of Zn. Although the exchangeable and carbonate phases account for 7.71% of Sb, 0.71% of As, 3.77% of Hg, 4.82% of Pb, 1.83% of Cd, and 1.73% of Zn,...
In order to investigate the concentrations of selenium (Se) in plants of the Dashan Region, a typical Se-rich area of China, and to illuminate the daily dietary Se intake of residents in this region, 83 crop samples and 144 Chinese herb samples were collected. Total Se was analyzed in the edible portion of crops and the medical portion of Chinese herbs. The average concentrations of Se ranged from...
Polyaspartic acid/chitosan complex (PASP/CS) was synthesized by the reaction of Polyaspartic acid, chitosan, and glutaraldehyde. The graft copolymer (PASP/CS) was characterized by FT-IR. The inhibition corrosion efficiency of the complex was estimated as 83.5%, PASP and only 58.8% when inhibitor concentration was 8 mg/L. PASP/CS is an anodic corrosion inhibitor in Sodium Chloride Solution. The competitive...
This study aims to investigate the effects of oxytetracycline on growth and photosynthetic capacity of rape (Brassica campestris L.). Four levels of oxytetracycline (0, 10, 100, and 200 mg kg⁻¹) were added to the potted soil. Chlorophyll fluorescence parameters induced by five levels (90, 190, 420, 820, and 1,500 μmol photons m⁻² s⁻¹) of PAR (PAR, photosynthetically active radiation) were measured...
This study takes the Southern antimony smelting slag depot in Xikuangshan (XKS) Sb mine in the city of Lengshuijiang, Hunan, China, as the research object and explores the release law of Sb, As, and Hg in smelting slag under different pH-value simulated acid rain by a semi-dynamic leaching experiment of simulating the local rain. The results show that the leachate pH value is positively correlated...
Land-use/land-cover change (LUCC) is an important issue of research into global change. To identify the spatiotemporal change and the driving mechanism of land use at the regional scale is of great significance to environmental preservation and economic development in the whole locality. In order to analyze the spatiotemporal change of land cover in Fuxian Lake watershed for the last four decades,...
The PKC signaling pathway has been implicated in diverse cellular functions. Here, we sought to investigate the role of PKCα/β in C6 glioma cell migration. We found that both PKCα and PKCβ were expressed by C6 glioma cells, but only PKCα was markedly activated in serum-treated C6 cells. Gö6976, a PKC α/β specific inhibitor, was found to cause a dose-dependent reduction of PKCα activation and cell...
We studied the wing morphology, echolocation calls, diet and emergence time of the black-bearded tomb bat (Taphozous melanopogon) from May to October 2006 in Guangxi Province, southwest China. Taphozous melanopogon has wings with high aspect ratio, high loading and pointed wing-tip shape-characteristics associated with fast flight in open space. This species usually produces low-intensity, low frequency,...
Three new Myrmica species (M. sinensis, M. angulata and M. draco) are described from the Southern China. Their taxonomic position is discussed and some ecological data for M. serica is provided. All the species belong to the ritae-group of Myrmica.
