Copula-based Wetness-Dryness Encountering Analysis of Upstream Runoff in the Pearl River Delta by ZHANG Zhaoyi, HE Yanhu, LIN Zhuliang, CHEN Xiaohong

“…,the West River (WR),North River (NR) and East River (ER)) under the changing environment,is conducive to the allocation and regulation of water resources in the Pearl River Delta(PRD) during the dry season to ensure the water supply security of the PRD city cluster.Based on the monthly average inflow of the WR,NR and ER,the Copula functions were used to construct the two-dimensional and three-dimensional joint distribution of the inflow of the three rivers at the annual,flood and dry period scales,and the laws of the wetness-dryness encountering of the three rivers were explored.The results show that the Frank Copula function can fit the two-dimensional and three-dimensional joint distribution of the upstream inflow better.The probability of synchronized wetness-dryness two-dimensional combinations of WR,NR and ER are higher when compared to that of the three-dimensional combination of wetness-dryness.The 3-dimensional wetness-dryness encounter combinations of “extreme dryness-extreme dryness-more dryness” and “extreme dryness-more dryness-more dryness” are more likely to happen in dry years.The upstream inflow under the 3-dimensional wetness-dryness encounter combinations of “extreme dryness-extreme dryness-more dryness” and “extreme dryness-more dryness-more dryness” are less during the dry season,which would pose greater challenge for the cities water supply in the PRD.…”

Sociological Explanation of the Role of Counseling and Cultural Centers in Iranian Young Athletes\' Unprofessional Behaviors and Lawlessness by Ali Ghanbari Barzian, Mostafa Zahirinia

“…As part of the solutions, expediting the process of privatization, mandating the teaching of ethical codes in all fields, formulating and consolidating rules and regulations for the legal control and supervision of sports publications, issuing fan cards, enforcing stringent regulations, and implementing bans in cases of abnormality can all contribute to the enhancement of the sporting environment and the promotion of lawfulness within sports. The research data demonstrate a direct correlation between seeking counseling services and the incidence of unprofessional and illicit conduct. …”

Research Status and Prospects of Corrosion Resistance of High Entropy Alloys by SHENG Yinghang, WANG Kai, GAO Peng, CUI Tong, LI Fuli, WANG Zhiquan, SUN Bugong, LI Bo, GUO Hongjian

“…High Entropy Alloys (HEA) are a new type of metal material with broad application prospects in the high-end equipment manufacturing industry.Due to the unique phase structure and “four major effects” of high entropy alloys， which endow them with excellent mechanical properties such as strength，hardness，toughness and wear resistance，high entropy alloys have become a research hotspot in the field of materials.Corrosion is a common and unavoidable form of failure in metallic materials，and high entropy alloys are widely used in industrial fields due to their excellent corrosion resistance.Thus， it is necessary to focus on studying the corrosion resistance performance， corrosion resistance mechanism and laws of high entropy alloys for better developing high-performance high entropy alloys.This article firstly briefly described the definition and classification of high entropy alloys， then summarized the preparation methods of high entropy alloys， and provided a detailed overview of the research status of high entropy alloy corrosion resistance.Different preparation processes and process parameters had a direct impact on the microstructure of high entropy alloys， and high entropy alloy components had broad design space.Therefore， by adjusting the preparation process parameters and component composition， the corrosion resistance of high entropy alloys could be further optimized.At last，the research topics and ideas for future high entropy alloys were discussed.…”
