The Influence of Calcium Chloride Salt Solution on the Transport Properties of Cementitious Materials by Yaghoob Farnam, Taylor Washington, Jason Weiss

“…Three primary factors influence the transport properties of mortar exposed to CaCl2: (1) changes in the degree of saturation, (2) calcium hydroxide leaching, and (3) formation of chemical reaction products (i.e., Friedel’s salt, Kuzel’s salt, and calcium oxychloride). …”

Molecular Responses of Human Retinal Cells to Infection with Dengue Virus by Jillian M. Carr, Liam M. Ashander, Julie K. Calvert, Yuefang Ma, Amanda Aloia, Gustavo G. Bracho, Soon-Phaik Chee, Binoy Appukuttan, Justine R. Smith

“…This reduction was accompanied by disorganization of intracellular filamentous-actin and decreased expression of junctional molecules, zonula occludens 1, and catenin-β1. Changes in endothelial expression of adhesion molecules are consistent with the retinal vasculopathy seen in patients infected with DENV; decreases in epithelial junctional protein expression, paralleling loss of integrity of the epithelium, provide a molecular basis for DENV-associated macular edema. …”

Study on Runoff and Climate Change Response of Upper and Middle Reaches of Xiuhe River Basin Based on SWAT Model by HUANG Yipeng, LIU Weilin, WAN Yifan, WEN Hongan, WU Bin, LIU Lina, ZHU Shengnan

“…Study on distributed hydrological simulation,model parameter sensitivity analysis and response of climate change to runoff are of important practical significance and scientific value for control of flood and drought disasters and distribution of water resources in the Xiuhe River Basin.Taking the upper and middle reaches of Xiuhe River Basin as research area,this paper builds the SWAT localization model to simulate runoff,and conducts the quantitative analysis on the response of runoff of Xiuhe River Basin to climate change with 55 climate scenarios (temperature increases or decreases 0~2℃,precipitation increases 0~60% or decreases 0~40%,respectively) as input of SWAT model.Results show that:In calibration period,the correlation coefficient R² is 0.87,and the Nash coefficient E_ns is 0.86,while,0.87 and 0.83 respectively in verification period,proving the high applicability of SWAT model in runoff simulation of Xiu River Basin;10% change of precipitation in Xiuhe River Basin has an impact on its runoff of 8.9%~10.7%;1℃ change of temperature has an impact on its runoff of only 0.3%~1.3%;precipitation is the main influencing factor of runoff change;after analyzing the climate scenario grid,when the precipitation is between -40% and +50%,the precipitation-temperature-runoff is basically linearly correlated,which can be presented by a plane function.In extreme precipitation cases,the relationship between temperature and runoff is nonlinear.…”
