Abstract: To get formed of the status of research and application of the domestic behavior therapy and its development trend, the time distribution and the subject distribution were bibliometrically analyzed of the literature on behavior therapy from 1981 to 2000 in the CBMdisc. Our results showed that the number of literature of behavior therapy has been increasing in exponential manner over the past 20 years; the behavior modification, the biofeedback and the cognitive therapy are extensively used in China. In clinical practice, the behavior modification and the biofeedback have been applied in all departments of medical institutions, especially for treating the cardiovascular and the neurological conditions. The cognitive therapy has been employed mainly for the treatment of mental disorders (or dysphrenia), the aversive therapy mainly for material withdrawal, and the systematic desensitization for phobia. There was no report found on the clinical use of meditation. It is concluded that the study and application in behavior therapy in China is currently developing very fast.

Abstract: An understanding of sorption processes is an important key to describing pollutant fate in an aquatic system because sorption may alter significantly physical transport and chemical reactivity of pollutants. The sorption of uncharged organic chemicals to natural aquatic sorbents is dominated by "hydrophobic interactions." For composite particulates (i.e., sediments/soils), organic matter is the primary sorbing constituent. Sorption partition coefficients, indexed to organic carbon {Koc), are relatively invariant for natural sorbents. K„‘s can be estimated from other physical properties of pollutants (aqueous solubility or octanol/water partition coefficients). Hydrophilic contributions to sorption tend to occur with one or both of the following conditions: (f) High sorbate polarity; and (2) low organic carbon content of the sorbent, especially with coincident high clay content. Although a priori estimation techniques comparable to hydrophobic sorption are not presently available, hydrophilic contributions relative to Koc can be estimated based upon chemical class and sorbent composition. Although sorption to sediment or soils is frequently viewed as a rapid process in environmental modeling, true sorption equilibrium may require weeks to months to achieve, with pollutant uptake and release kinetics highly dependent on molecular size, sorbent cohesive properties, and solids concentration.

Abstract: A method is presented which enables the computation of the suspended load as the depth-integration of the product of the local concentration and flow velocity. The method is based on the computation of the reference concentration from the bed-load transport. Measured concentration profiles have been used for calibration. New relationships are proposed to represent the sizegradation of the bed material and the damping of the turbulence by the sediment particles. A verification analysis using about 800 data shows that about 76% of the predicted values are within 0.5 and 2 times the measured values.

Abstract: Adsorption often dictates the fate of trace inorganic pollutants in aquatic systems. In contrast to the nonspecific sorption mechanism proposed for hydrophobic organic compounds, adsorption of inorganic solutes is viewed as a site-specific process in which ions bind (chemically) at functional groups on particle surfaces. This conceptual model is supported by the finding that adsorption of ions on model adsorbents with relatively well-defined surface groups (e.g., hydrous metal oxides) can be described via mass law equations, a fact which forms the basis for all of the so-called surface complexation models. Surface complexation reactions are distinguished from reactions among monomelic solutes in that the total energy of interaction includes long-range electrostatic effects that vary with surface charge. Electrostatic effects are accounted for by applying a coulombic correction factor (activity coefficient) to intrinsic surface complexation constants. Formulations for the coulombic correction term differ among the various surface complexation models. These models can be used to predict inorganic ion adsorption on hydrous oxides for changing solution conditions on the basis of fewer data than needed with a purely empirical approach.
