As a type of natural energy resource, wind power is used in the modern implementation of wind-assisted technologies as a method for reducing the fuel consumption and environmental pollution of ocean-going ships. In order to promote the full usage of ocean wind energy for cargo ships, an innovative type of ship propulsion-assisted wing sail is proposed in this paper. The propulsion efficiency of this...
Plant tissues and cells can sense and transmit stress signals, change their morphological structures, alter protein and gene expression, and activate metabolic pathways to adapt to stressful environments. However, the internal and external resistance mechanisms related to antioxidation in local tissues or cells suffering from biotic stress remain unclear. We studied the response of Malus crabapple...
Indoor experiments were performed to determine the accumulation, subcellular distribution, and chemical forms of Cd at five S levels in Hydrilla verticillata. The Cd content increased from 1.229 mg/g to 3.329 mg/g in leaves, and decreased from 2.794 mg/g to 1.023 mg/g in roots, respectively. Excess S supply stimulated Cd assimilation in leaves as Cd accumulation was inhibited in roots. The Cd content...
Grinding materials as a pretreatment contribute to successful composting. Here the grinding ratio of 4 raw materials and compost samples with different maturity degrees were compared and discussed. Results revealed that the highest grinding ratio was obtained when drying the 3 straws into constant weight, but keeping water content around 10% for sewage sludge. The carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (C/N) was...
Magnetic induction intensity is a crucial factor for determining the effect of electronic anti-fouling technology, while current is an important factor in determining the strength of magnetic induction intensity. The series resistance method is used in an electronic anti-fouling system in order to get the current value in the coil wrapped around the PVC pipe. The peak current in the circuit is obtained...
While simultaneous processing of heavy metal-rich waste and municipal sewage sludge (MSS) in cement kilns may be a useful measure for protecting the environment, simultaneous co-disposal of these two types of wastes has seldom been reported in detail. In this study, we examined how MSS influenced the fixation of heavy metals during clinkerization and determined the main controlling mechanisms through...
Ecological security is the comprehensive characterization of the noosystem’s overall collaborative capacity in relation to human welfare within a whole society. Recent years, however, have witnessed the excessive exploitation of natural resources via anthropogenic activities that have consistently triggered or accelerated ecological deterioration. In addition, an adequate ecological security assessment...
Background: Laryngeal cancer tends to have a very poor prognosis due to the unsatisfactory efficacy of chemotherapy for this cancer. Multidrug resistance (MDR) is the main cause of chemotherapy failure. The proto-oncogene c-fos has been shown to be involved in the development of MDR in several tumor types, but few studies have evaluated the relationship between c-fos and MDR in laryngeal cancer. We...
This paper aims to introduce the new constraints of PM2.5 into the environmental efficiency research framework, based on the provincial panel data of China during 2001-12. The authors examine environmental efficiency with and without consideration of PM2.5, conduct hypothesis tests on these environmental efficiencies, and analyze the energy savings and haze reduction. The results indicate that the...
