Design Optimization and Parameter Analysis of a Hybrid Rocket Motor-Powered Small LEO Launch Vehicle by Hao Zhu, Pengcheng Wang, Weile Xu, Yuanjun Zhang, Hui Tian, Guobiao Cai

“…An integrated overall design model for the hybrid rocket motor-powered small launch vehicle (HPSLV) is established, and two groups of three-stage SLVs capable of sending small payloads to the low earth orbit (LEO) are designed and optimized. In the first group, the SLVs with different grain shapes and different numbers of chambers in HRMs at the 1st and the 2nd stages are optimized and analyzed. …”

Increases in vegetation cover increase response more to climate change than to human activities in the Baiyangdian watershed by Jiashan Gao, Jianying Yang

“…By analysing the spatial and temporal characteristics of vegetation cover in the Baiyangdian watershed, we investigated the response of climate change and human activities to vegetation cover, and revealed the evolution patterns and driving mechanisms of vegetation cover under changing environments. Utilizing the Google Earth Engine (GEE) and Landsat remote sensing images, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) of the Baiyangdian watershed from 1992 to 2022 was extracted. …”

Unveiling pressure-induced anomalous shear behavior and thermoelasticity of α-Fe2O3 hematite at high pressure by Yongtao Zou, Pei Wang, Ying Li, Haiyan Chen, Cangtao Zhou, Tetsuo Irifune

“…Summary: Hematite (α-Fe2O3), as an important end-member of FeO-Fe2O3 series, has garnered particular interest for its peculiar high pressure-temperature (P-T) behavior, structural stability and elasticity, and the unclear role of Fe3+ in the nature and dynamics of the Earth’s mantle. Here, we report a pronounced pressure-induced anomaly in the shear behavior of hematite at room temperature and ∼3.5 GPa owing to the (weak)ferromagnetic-to-antiferromagnetic Morin transition driven by pressure and temperature. …”
