盐穴天然气地下储气库运行过程的关键技术问题

在具有岩盐矿床地质构造的地区,将天然气储存在地下含盐岩层内,实现在短期内提供高容量的储备,是目前各国普遍采用的方法。结合国外相关技术文献及部分研究成果,对盐穴储库运行过程的关键技术问题,主要包括:如何在运行过程减少溶腔的收敛性,防止水化物的形成,溶腔建腔过程形成的冷带和残留盐水对运行过程的影响;垫层气技术、运行的稳定性及注采循环中应注意的问题。文中分别进行了较详细的论述,为今后国内盐穴储库的运行研究提供依据和技术支持。

Sustainability and automobility among the elderly: An international assessment

In the next three decades there will a huge increase in both the absolute number of older people and in their percentage of the populationin almost all Western European countries, North America, and Australia. Most older people will have active lifestyles in which mobility and access play a major role and almost all older men and a majority of older women will be car drivers, used to the convenience and flexibility which the car provides.Using data from the US, Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Norway, and the United Kingdom, the paper shows that, in spite of cultural and policy differences, older people around the world are more likely to have a license, to take more trips, and to do so more often as the driver of a car than older people just a decade ago; they are also less likely to use public transit. These trends have a number of sustainability implications – the most obvious one is increased environmental pollution. For example, even though older people may travel less than younger drivers they may be polluting proportionately more because a) they are less likely to make as great a proportion of trips in public transit as younger people and b) the trips they do make may create more pollutants. In addition, older drivers may incur more wasted miles due to wayfinding errors and trip-scouting behavior. And when older people curtail their driving, younger family members may have to increase (or lengthen) their trip-making to provide needed services or additional transportation.While this paper stresses the environmental problems posed by an aging population, effective strategies arise from a focus on a broader definition of sustainability. The most important approach is to accept the inevitable and work to make the private car "greener" and safer. New transit service concepts and strategic community and neighborhood design and service elements can complement the development of cleaner cars.Although many of the potential strategies are not new, or can be expensive to implement, the convergence of environmental concerns with other problems arising from the automobility of the elderly – including increasing crash rates and serious loss of mobility among those unable to drive – may make these policies more politically viable than in the past.     

新疆阿拉山口地区盐渍土盐胀与溶陷特性研究

以阿拉山口市—温泉县—G30公路建设项目为依托,通过控制变量法研究冻融循环次数、含盐率、含水率及荷载对盐渍土盐胀和融陷变形量的影响情况。试验结果表明:在进行盐胀试验时,盐胀性随着盐渍土含水率的增加逐渐增大;随着含盐率的增加,盐渍土盐胀特性也更明显;随着温度的降低,盐渍土盐胀量也逐渐增大,但当含盐率和含水率到达一定程度后,盐胀量则不会随着温度下降而增大;在进行溶陷试验时,在不考虑含盐量的情况下,各组土体均随着含水率增高而沉降量越大;在荷载相同的情况下,含盐量越大,沉降量越大;随着压力的增加,盐渍土仍会发生较大沉降。     

The passenger vessel services act and America's cruise tourism industry

The Passenger Vessel Services Act (PVSA) of 1886, a cabotage law, attempts to shield U.S. maritime shipping from foreign competition. It also applies to the U.S. cruise ship industry. The PVSA requires foreign cruise ships that carry passengers between U.S. ports to also stop at foreign ports. Norwegian Cruise Line America (NCLA), which operates one U.S. flagged cruise ship in Hawaii, wants the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to require foreign cruise ships offering Hawaii itineraries from the U.S. west coast to spend more time in foreign ports. We analyze the merits of NCLA's proposal. We argue that rather than making the PVSA even more protectionist, the law should be repealed.
