[Method] This paper adopts the emergy methods to evaluate the emergy input and output. [Result] The growth of total emergy input was mainly caused by the auxiliary factors in this phase. The proportion of the nonrenewable purchased emergy input to the total auxiliary emergy input increased from 21.80% in 1980 to 33.04% in 2010. In 1980-2010 the total emergy output of the system increased by 2.43 times, the proportions of the stock farming emergy output and fishery emergy output to the total emergy output increased sharply, while those of the planting emergy output and forestry emergy output showed a considerable decline. [Conclusion] The emergy yield ratio of this system was improved but its sustainability was worrying.展开更多

The emphasis is given to the probabilistic density function of earthquake loss adjustment for a single building under the given insurance policy and the overall variance of estimated earthquake losses aggregated from various locations with keen interest in the insurance industries. The correlation coefficient for the damages among single structures in the United States is also introduced to interpret the risk of loss concentration in the earthquake insurance. The paper provides a scientific basis for adjusting earthquake loss and premium rate, and it also provides a useful reference for the application and expansion of earthquake insurance in China.展开更多

Based on results of experiments,...Using the PSU/NCAR Mesoscale Model version four(MM4), the frontogenesis and geostrophic adjustment problem in atmosphere with imbalance initial ideal data and conditions are studied. Based on results of experiments, it is found that the objective analysis and initialization procedure of the Model are not sensitive to the initial conditions used in this study. The final state of atmosphere, through process of adjustment, depends on the temperature gradient intensity of initial imbalance conditions. The front can be formed with appropriate condition. The processes of the frontogenesis are studied. It is also found that the response of the model to the ideal initial data used in this investigation is sensitive to the selected lateral boundary condition. The time-dependent inflow/outflow lateral boundary condition is the best implemented option for this numerical study. Energetic study of the experiments shows that the front is formed after the initial transient stage when there is no exchange of energy between the kinetic and potential energy. The time needed for the formation of the front is longer than that predicted theoretically. The ratio of kinetic energy to the released potential energy is considered. This ratio varies with the temperature gradient intensity and the type of used wind for computing kinetic energy (geostrophic or geostrophic plus ageostrophic wind). The larger temperature gradient, the larger magnitude of this ratio. A maximum value of energy in either type of computed kinetic energies (geostrophic wind kinetic energy and actual wind kinetic energy) for cases that the fronts are observed whereby, and its magnitude and occurrence time depend on initial data distribution. The variation of the computed kinetic energies with time, after transition time, is reasonable and no significant conversion of the energy between kinetic and potential energy goes on, however, stability within variables is not achieved.展开更多

Geographical variations in the contours of the phase speed are very similar to those of the Rossby radius of formation, which are mainly affected by stratification, rotation, water depth, topography, etc. The basin-crossing time of the first baroclinic Rossby wave is obtained and analyzed in the global ocean basins. The results are useful to learn the importance of Rosaby wave and the adiabatic adjustment of large-scale ocean circulation.展开更多

Wing position and pose are adjusted by three pillars which are driven by six high-precision servo motors. During the adjustment process, wing is tracked and positioned by laser tracker. Wing initial position and pose are calibrated by using the measurement coordinates of assembly reference points. Wing target position and pose are calculated according to wing initial, fuselage position and pose, and relative position and pose requirements between wing and fuselage for the connection. Combining Newton-Euler method with quaternion position and pose analyzing method, the inverse kinematics of servo motors, together with the adjustment system dynamics is obtained. Wing quintic polynomial trajectory planning algorithm based on quatemion is proposed; the initial, target position and pose need to be solved and the intermediate moving path is uncertain. Simulation results show that the adjustment method has good dynamic characteristics and satisfies engineering requirements. Preliminary engineering application indicates that ARJ21 wing adjustment efficiency and precision are improved by using the proposed method.展开更多

文摘This longitudinal study examined the association between parental autonomy support and school-aged children’s adjustment across four major domains of school functioning,as well as the mediating role of children’s executive function.Participants were 476 school-aged children(girl:49.2%,M_(age)=10.49 years,SD=1.32 years),who completed the Psychological Autonomy Support Scale,the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function–2,and the Primary School Students’Psychological Suzhi Scale at baseline and at two subsequent follow-up assessments.Results from unconditional latent growth curve models and structural equation modeling indicated that paternal autonomy support was a significant predictor of children’s adjustment across all four school domains.In contrast,maternal autonomy support was significantly associated only with interpersonal adjustment.Both the intercept(initial level)and slope(rate of change)of children’s executive function significantly predicted their adjustment in all four domains.Notably,the initial level of executive function fully mediated the association between paternal autonomy support and school adjustment,whereas the rate of change in executive function did not serve as a significant mediator.Thesefindings underscore the importance of promoting parental autonomy-supportive behaviors-particularly among fathers-as a means to enhance children’s executive functioning and,consequently,their school adjustment.

文摘The demand for high-precision large-aperture antennas has continued to increase owing to the expanding application of spaceborne deployable active phased array antennas in remote sensing observation,satellite communication,navigation positioning,and deep space exploration.However,deployment errors in deployable mechanisms,particularly hinge-induced deflection errors during array surface deployment,degrade on-orbit surface accuracy.This study proposes an active adjustment strategy that installs compliant parallel mechanisms on the backplane of antenna subarrays to regulate surface splicing precision.For one-dimensional(1D)deployable antennas,a two-translation one-rotation(2T1R)parallel mechanism configuration is employed for precision adjustment,whereas two-dimensional(2D)deployable antennas adopt a one-translation two-rotation(1T2R)configuration.A reconfigurable parallel mechanism architecture satisfying space deployment constraints-the 3PSS-2RPU-UPR/RPU parallel mechanism-is designed via configuration synthesis.The degrees of freedom(DOF)are verified via the screw theory,with complete inverse kinematics solutions derived.Search algorithms further quantify the adjustment workspace while clarifying the coupling relationships between DOFs.Equivalent compliant parallel mechanism models are obtained using the rigid-body replacement method,followed by a compliance analysis and motion simulation of compliant joints(notched flexure hinges and leaf-spring flexure prismatic joints).A systematic investigation of the deformation characteristics under different actuation modes confirmed the validity of the equivalent models.Ground experiments demonstrated close agreement between the measured and simulated adjustments,with open-loop adjustment errors constituting less than 10%of the adjustment range,thereby validating the feasibility of the method.The precision adjustment mechanism achieved configuration switching(2T1R/1T2R)through an inverted central limb design,integrating dual-mode compensation into a reconfigurable system.

文摘Adjustable or programmable metamaterials offer versatile functions,while the complex multi-dimensional regulation increases workload,and hinders their applications in practical scenarios.To address these challenges,we present a mechanically programmable acoustic metamaterial for real-time focal tuning via one-dimensional phase-gradient modulation in this paper.The device integrates a phase gradient structure with concave cavity channels and an x-shaped telescopic mechanical framework,enabling dynamic adjustment of inter-unit spacing(1 mm-3 mm)through a microcontroller-driven motor.By modulating the spacing between adjacent channels,the phase gradient is precisely controlled,allowing continuous focal shift from 50 mm to 300 mm along the x-axis at 7500 Hz.Broadband focusing is also discussed in the range6800 Hz-8100 Hz,with transmission coefficients exceeding 0.5,ensuring high efficiency and robust performance.Experimental results align closely with simulations,validating the design's effectiveness and adaptability.Unlike conventional programmable metamaterials requiring multi-dimensional parameter optimization,this approach simplifies real-time control through single-axis mechanical adjustment,significantly reducing operational complexity.Due to the advantages of broadband focusing,simple control mode,real-time monitoring,and so on,the device may have extensive applications in the fields of acoustic imaging,nondestructive testing,ultrasound medical treatment,etc.

文摘The photovoltaic(PV)output process is inherently complex,often disrupted by a multitude of meteoro-logical factors,while conventional detection methods at PV power stations prove inadequate,compromising prediction accuracy.To address this challenge,this paper introduces a power prediction method that leverages modal switching(MS),weight factor adjustment(WFA),and parallel long short-term memory(PALSTM).Initially,historical PV power station data is categorized into distinct modes based on global horizontal irradiance and converted solar angles.Correlation analysis is then employed to evaluate the impact of various meteorological factors on PV power,selecting those with strong correlations for each specific mode.Subsequently,the weights of meteorological parameters are optimized and adjusted,and a PALSTM neural network is constructed,with its parallel modal parameters refined through training.Depending on the prediction time and input data mode characteristics,the appropriate mode channel is selected to forecast PV power station generation.Ultimately,the feasibility of this method is validated through an illustrative analysis of measured data from an Australian PV power station.Comparative test results underscore the method’s advantages,particularly in scenarios where existing detection methods are lacking and meteorological factors frequently fluctuate,demonstrating its superior prediction accuracy and stability.
文摘Women diagnosed with breast cancer may have serious psychological problems and will suffer from adjustment disorder(AjD).We investigated the prevalence of AjD in female breast cancer patients who were diagnosed within 1 year and examined the severe life events they experienced,and the most common symptoms of AjD.342 newly diagnosed(<1 year)female breast cancer patients were recruited from Tongji Hospital and Hubei Cancer Hospital in Hubei,China,from July 2018 to May 2019.The patients completed the self-report questionnaire including demographic characteristics and the scale ADNM-20 for the diagnosis of AjD.SPSS20.0 was used for data analysis.As a result,the prevalence of AjD in breast cancer patients was 38.6%.Patients from rural areas and lacking of exercise were more likely to suffer from AjD(P<0.05).The prevalence of AjD in patients who did not regard breast cancer as the most severe life event was higher than that in patients who took breast cancer as the most severe life event(44.4%vs.33.9%,P<0.05;OR=1.728,95%CI=1.072-2.787).The symptom that scored highest was preoccupation(3.15).We found that the prevalence of AjD in women with breast cancer in this study is very high and warrants more attention.Patients from rural areas,lacking of exercise and subject to multiple stressors are more likely to suffer from AjD.The commonest and severe symptom is preoccupation.

文摘[ Objective] The purpose was to discuss drought resistance mechanism of Chenopodium album L. and supply theoretical basis and practical guidance for artificial cultivation and popularization of C. album. [ Method] C. album seedlings grown to 6th leaf stage were conducted osmotic stress treatment with PEG6000 osmotic whose concentration was set up as 0, 5%, 10% and 20% and the various physiological indices of the 3rd -5th function leaves in upper plant were determined after being treated for 0, 1,3, 5, 7 and 9 d. [ Result] Under osmotic stress with 5% PGE, the relative water content （RWC） of C. album reduced less. Under osmotic stress with 10%, the RWC in seedling leaves of C. album decreased to 62% on the fifth day and the leaves began to wither. Under osmotic stress with 20%, the RWC in seedling leaves of C. album decreased to 61.9% on the third day and the leaves appeared withering, and the RWC decreased to 48.6% on the 7th day and the leaves were dry and yellow. Proline contents in seedling leaves of C. album under osmotic stress with 5%, 10% and 20% PEG were 7.64, 10.9 and 29.4 times of CK on the 7th day. [ Conclusion] C. album hed some adaptability to moderate osmotic stress, but the PEG osmotic stress with high concentration and long time might lead to severe damage on C. album.

文摘In the paper, we briefly introduce the development and present situation of earthquake insurance in China and foreign countries, and the evaluation of earthquake losses on the basis of seismic risk and structural vulnerability analyses. The emphasis is given to the probabilistic density function of earthquake loss adjustment for a single building under the given insurance policy and the overall variance of estimated earthquake losses aggregated from various locations with keen interest in the insurance industries. The correlation coefficient for the damages among single structures in the United States is also introduced to interpret the risk of loss concentration in the earthquake insurance. The paper provides a scientific basis for adjusting earthquake loss and premium rate, and it also provides a useful reference for the application and expansion of earthquake insurance in China.
文摘Using the PSU/NCAR Mesoscale Model version four(MM4), the frontogenesis and geostrophic adjustment problem in atmosphere with imbalance initial ideal data and conditions are studied. Based on results of experiments, it is found that the objective analysis and initialization procedure of the Model are not sensitive to the initial conditions used in this study. The final state of atmosphere, through process of adjustment, depends on the temperature gradient intensity of initial imbalance conditions. The front can be formed with appropriate condition. The processes of the frontogenesis are studied. It is also found that the response of the model to the ideal initial data used in this investigation is sensitive to the selected lateral boundary condition. The time-dependent inflow/outflow lateral boundary condition is the best implemented option for this numerical study. Energetic study of the experiments shows that the front is formed after the initial transient stage when there is no exchange of energy between the kinetic and potential energy. The time needed for the formation of the front is longer than that predicted theoretically. The ratio of kinetic energy to the released potential energy is considered. This ratio varies with the temperature gradient intensity and the type of used wind for computing kinetic energy (geostrophic or geostrophic plus ageostrophic wind). The larger temperature gradient, the larger magnitude of this ratio. A maximum value of energy in either type of computed kinetic energies (geostrophic wind kinetic energy and actual wind kinetic energy) for cases that the fronts are observed whereby, and its magnitude and occurrence time depend on initial data distribution. The variation of the computed kinetic energies with time, after transition time, is reasonable and no significant conversion of the energy between kinetic and potential energy goes on, however, stability within variables is not achieved.

文摘According to the freely linear Rossby wave theory, global 1°×1°climatology of Rossby deformation radius and phase speed are studied under the fiat bottom fluid approximation. Geographical variations in the contours of the phase speed are very similar to those of the Rossby radius of formation, which are mainly affected by stratification, rotation, water depth, topography, etc. The basin-crossing time of the first baroclinic Rossby wave is obtained and analyzed in the global ocean basins. The results are useful to learn the importance of Rosaby wave and the adiabatic adjustment of large-scale ocean circulation.

文摘A 6-degree of freedom （6-DOF） aircraft wing position and pose automatic adjustment method is presented to improve ARJ21 wing-fuselage connection precision and efficiency. Wing position and pose are adjusted by three pillars which are driven by six high-precision servo motors. During the adjustment process, wing is tracked and positioned by laser tracker. Wing initial position and pose are calibrated by using the measurement coordinates of assembly reference points. Wing target position and pose are calculated according to wing initial, fuselage position and pose, and relative position and pose requirements between wing and fuselage for the connection. Combining Newton-Euler method with quaternion position and pose analyzing method, the inverse kinematics of servo motors, together with the adjustment system dynamics is obtained. Wing quintic polynomial trajectory planning algorithm based on quatemion is proposed; the initial, target position and pose need to be solved and the intermediate moving path is uncertain. Simulation results show that the adjustment method has good dynamic characteristics and satisfies engineering requirements. Preliminary engineering application indicates that ARJ21 wing adjustment efficiency and precision are improved by using the proposed method.
