    Two sample plots (30 m×30 m) were selected at shady and sunny slopes in artificial sand-fixing area beside the desert canal in central Gurbantunggut Desert, China. Each sample plot was divided into thirty-six 5 m×5 m quadrats, and the soil volumetric water contents (SWC) at 10 cm, 30 cm and 50 cm layers in the center of each quadrat were measured by using a portable time domain reflectometry (WET-2). Then, the spatial variations of six soil water contents in two sample plots were contrastively analyzed using semi-variance and Kriging interpolation methods. The results showed that all SWCs at the six layers in two sample plots appeared normal or approximate normal distribution, and belonged to moderate variation (coefficient of variance: 0.157–0.335). The SWC at lower layer was obviously more than that at upper layer in each sample plot, and the SWC in shady plot was significantly higher than that in sunny plot at the same layer (except 10 cm layer). The semi-variance analysis indicated that all SWCs at the six layers in two sample plots fitted the exponential model. There was a strong spatial correlation for SWCs at 10 cm layer in sunny plot, and 10 cm and 30 cm layers in shady plot, but their lag distances (ranges) were relatively small (2.34–5.77 m); the rest of SWCs had moderate spatial correlation with larger ranges (21.90–53.02 m). The Kriging interpolation showed that the three SWCs in sunny plot, as well as the SWC at 50 cm layer in shady plot, represented the pattern which the SWC was higher at upper part of the sand dune and lower at the lower part; while the distributions of SWCs at 10 cm and 30 cm layers in shady plot were irregular and blocky. Consequently, the higher SWC at shady slope in artificial sand-fixing area gestated the abundant herbs; however, the heterogeneous distribution of herbs also influenced the distribution pattern of the shallow SWC (10–30 cm layer).

    Using an improved Tessier sequential extraction method to analyze the concentration of different speciation of mercury in the soil of Jiaojia Gold Mine, this article elaborated the distribution characteristics of different mercury speciation in the soil of horizontal spatial of the mine. The result indicated that firstly, mercury in soil existed mainly in residue speciation, and the descending order of the average concentration of different speciation of mercury as follow: residual>humic acid>strong organic>water-soluble>Fe\Mn oxide>carbonate>ion exchangeable. Secondly, the gold mine had significant effects on different speciation of mercury in soil and in addition to a carbonate combined state, a variety of speciation of mercury enriched near the gold mine. Thirdly, the non-residual mercury accounted for about 27% of the total mercury, the mercury in the soil of the gold mine had greater bioavailability. The speciation of mercury with high biological effectiveness in the soil near the gold mine(ion exchangeable, water-soluble, carbonate and Fe\Mn oxide) accounted for lower ratio of the total mercury. However, the speciation of mercury with low biological effectiveness(humic acid and strong organic)accounted for higher ratio of the total mercury. The activities of gold mining may affect the distribution of mercury speciation in the soil.

    The detection accuracy of ultrasonic propagation time and the propagation velocity in the medium directly affects the ultrasonic ranging precision, that is to say, the error of propagation time determined by the ultrasonic forward edge of echo wave and the change of the transmission speed of ultrasonic wave along with environmental factors (temperature, humidity and so on) are the main reasons for affecting ultrasonic ranging precision. Two solutions are put forward: 1. a fitting curve produced by point on the rising edge of echo envelope sampled by the DSP MC56F8037 is used to calculate more accurately the arrival time of forward edge of receive wave, which improves the accuracy of measuring ultrasonic propagation time. 2. two ultrasonic receiving transducers with fixed distance are used to accurately calculate the actual velocity of propagation of ultrasonic wave in the medium and time lag of the echo signal which can eliminate any impact of environmental factors on the propagation velocity of ultrasonic wave. Accuracy of the traditional ultrasonic level meter ranging is greatly improved by two methods.

    In order to more accurate and easy diagnosis of synchronous generator rotor winding inter-turn short-circuit fault, a novel fault diagnosis method is put forward, which based on Bayesian regularization back-propagation (BRBP) neural network. Measure and collect sample data in different fault-free operating conditions, including terminal parameters (voltage, active power, reactive power) and field current, then train a BRBP neural network model to predict field current. Input to the model with measured terminal parameters, and a predicted field current is obtained. Finally, compare the predicted field current with the corresponding measured field current, and a synchronous generator rotor winding inter-turn short-circuit fault is diagnosed when relative error exceeds a specific threshold. The micro-synchronous generator dynamic simulation results show that, the method is better accuracy than BP neural network method, only needs to simply set the BRBP neural network structures and parameters, is fast trained and easily applied to other synchronous generator, and is a effective rotor winding inter-turn short-circuit fault diagnosis method for synchronous generator.
