As a result, a simple method was put forward to predict change in sediment yield, with Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in the northern fringe of the Loess Plateau of China as an example. Results show that, even the change in mean annual precipitation is the same, the direction and magnitude of the resultant chang in sediment yteld would be quite different in fferent physico-geographical zones. When mean annual precipitation is increased, sediment yield in arid or semi-arid areas with a mean anntal Peripitation of less than 400 mm will be increased, while sediment yield in sub-humid or humid areas with a mean annual precipitation of more than 400 mm will be decreased.Additionally, the complex response of fluvial erosion system in time series due to the lag of change in vegetation behind the changn in precipitation has also been qualitatively discussed in this paper.展开更多

A novel supramolecular graft copolymer (SGP) composed of viologen-containing copolymer (P(DMA-co- diEV)) as the main chain and Np ended PNIPAM (Np-PNIPAm) as the grafts is prepared (DMA: N,N- dimethylacryami...A novel supramolecular graft copolymer (SGP) composed of viologen-containing copolymer (P(DMA-co- diEV)) as the main chain and Np ended PNIPAM (Np-PNIPAm) as the grafts is prepared (DMA: N,N- dimethylacryamide, diEV: ethylviologen dimer, Np: naphthalene, PNIPAM: poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)). The grafting is based on the triple complexation among a host of cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) and two vips of diEV and Np, which is characterized by UV-vis spectra and ITC. Temperature sensitive property of PNIPAm moiety allows SGP to self-assemble into non-covalently connected micelle (NCCM) at high temperature. The micelles are sensitive to reducing agents, for example Na2S203, which breaks the current inclusion complex pair and induces aggregation.展开更多
