Analysis of Variation Characteristics of Precipitation Series from 1970 to 2019 in Qingyuan City by LIU Xuanxuan

“…In order to understand the variation characteristics of precipitation in Qingyuan City in recent decades,and realize the scientific management and utilization of water resources,based on the measured precipitation data of six representative hydrologic stations in Qingyuan from 1970 to 2019,this paper analyzes and studies the trend change,sudden change and periodic characteristics of annual precipitation in Qingyuan by moving average method,Mann-Kendall test method and Morlet wavelet analysis method.The results show that:The annual precipitation of Qingyuan Station and Zhukeng Station showed a decreasing trend,while that of Damiaoxia Station,Yingde Station,Yangshan Station and Lianxian Station showed an increasing trend,but the change was not significant.The sudden drop occurred around 1975 for Qingyuan Station and Yingde Station,around 2015 for Damiaoxia Station and Lianxian Station,around 1982 for Zhukeng Station.and around 1973 and 2015 for Yangshan Station.The precipitation series of each station has obvious alternation of wet and dry seasons.There are 3 to 4 main periods of precipitation at each station.The first and second main periods are generally 22 or 15 years,and the third and fourth main periods are generally 7 or 3 years.After 2015,the annual precipitation at each station turned into a decreasing trend.Currently,Qingyuan is in a period of low precipitation.…”

Exploring the Impacts of Change Orders on Performance of Construction Projects in Saudi Arabia by Majed Alzara

“…The construction industry is one of the most complex industries, and it involves numerous change orders. Change orders often occur in all or some phases of industrial construction work and have a significant impact on the success of the project, its on-time completion, or ultimately, an increase in the estimated cost of the project. …”

Nonlinear Model of Vibrating Screen to Determine Permissible Spring Deterioration for Proper Separation by Cristian G. Rodriguez, Manuel A. Moncada, Emilio E. Dufeu, Mario I. Razeto

“…If a spring breaks, the stiffness at supporting positions changes, and therefore the amplitude of motion and the static and dynamic angular inclination of deck motion also change. This change in the amplitude and in the inclination of motion produces a reduction in separation efficiency. …”

Attribution Identification of Runoff Variation in Ganjiang River Basin Based on Budyko Hypothesis by LIU Weilin, HUA Huiling, ZHANG Jingrong, WANG Jun, WANG Yunfei, LIU Lina

“…The hydrometeorological data of the Ganjiang River Basin for 1953—2017,the non-parametric Mann-Kendall test,and the sliding t test were leveraged to analyze the variation characteristics of the hydrometeorological elements of the study area.Sensitivity analysis of the influencing elements was carried out by the elastic coefficient method on the basis of the Budyko hypothesis,and the influence of each element on the runoff variation in the Ganjiang River Basin was assessed quantitatively.The following observations could be made from the results:① During 1953—2017,the runoff and precipitation in the Ganjiang River Basin showed an insignificant increase trend,and the potential evapotranspiration demonstrated a marked decrease trend.② Runoff variation was positively correlated with precipitation and negatively correlated with the characteristic parameters of the underlying surface and potential evapotranspiration.The runoff in the Ganjiang River Basin was most sensitive to precipitation change.③ Climate change had a positive effect on the increase in the runoff in this Basin,and it was the leading factor affecting runoff variation,with a contribution rate of 73.7%~104.9%.Human activities took the second place,accounting for -4.9%~27.0%.Specifically,human activities had a great impact on the runoff in the upper and middle reaches.The implementation of the ecological construction projects in the upper reaches of the Ganjiang River and the water conservancy construction projects in the middle reaches changed the underlying surface conditions of the basin and thereby affected the river runoff.…”
