Effects of Different Nutrition Conditions on the Growth and Cadmium Accumulation of Landoltia punctata by GONG Zhihang, WANG Xianglian, XIE Huicui, ZHANG Tongtong, TANG Yuling, ZHAGN Yanyun, LIU Zilong, HU Liang, WEN jie, CHEN Ziming

“…In order to understand the effects of different nutrition conditions on the growth and cadmium accumulation of Landoltia punctata by treating the Landoltia punctata with Hoagland solution and Steinberg solution in different concentrations,the experiment were conducted with Hoagland (H) and Steinberg (S) nutrient solution concentrations at 0 (CK),0.1 (1/10 H,1/10 S),0.2 (1/5 H,1/5 S),and 1 (1 H,1 S),respectively,and Cd content at 0 mg/L,0.5 mg/L,5 mg/L and 10 mg/L,respectively.The growth index and Cd accumulation of Landoltia punctata were measured under different nutrition conditions.The results show that Landoltia punctata grows better in Hoagland solution,especially at 1/10 H concentration.After Cd treatment,the Cd accumulation in Steinberg condition is higher than that in Hoagland condition.In a word,the high nitrogen and phosphorus content could inhibit not only the growth of Landoltia punctata,but also the Cd accumulation in Landoltia punctata.The effect of nitrogen on Cd accumulation in Landoltia punctata varies with its different states.This study can provide guidance for the restoration of eutrophic water polluted by heavy metals of aquatic plants.…”

Assessment of the Stability of an Unlined Rectangular Tunnel with an Overload on the Ground Surface by Jian Zhang, Zhibin Hang, Tugen Feng, Feng Yang

“…City tunnels are often constructed at shallow depths, and tunnel failure may be initiated by overloads resulting from surrounding buildings, structures, heavy-haul trailers, and other installations. Although several works have been reported on tunnel stability, stability numbers have mainly been obtained for cases with fully cohesive soils. …”

Estimation of Copper and Cadmium Bioavailability in Contaminated Soil Remediated by Different Plants and Micron Hydroxyapatite by Lei Xu, Xiangyu Xing, Jianbiao Peng, Mingfei Ji

“…A three-year in situ remediation experiment was carried out to understand the effect of combined phytoremediation with chemical materials on the bioavailability of heavy metals in soil. Indigenous weed (Setaria pumila), energy plant (Pennisetum sp.), cadmium (Cd)-hyperaccumulator (Sedum plumbizincicola), and copper (Cu)-tolerant plant (Elsholtzia splendens) were used as the phytoremediation plants aided by micron hydroxyapatite (1% wt). …”
