Analysis of Index Decomposition of Capture Ratio of Total Annual Runoff Volume in Sponge Cities by WEN Dawen, YANG Jiantao, WANG Sen, LIU Jin, WANG Bin

“…One of the important goals of sponge city construction is to reduce the discharge of rainwater runoff and the local consumption and utilization of rainwater runoff within the plot.The discharge volume of rainwater runoff is reflected by the capture ratio of the total annual runoff volume.How to scientifically and reasonably determine the capture ratio of total annual runoff volume has been the main exploration content in the process of sponge city construction in recent years.This study took the Guangzhou Science and Education City area as an example,utilized the data of the underlying surface and drainage pipe network of the plot,and used the volumetric method to decompose the capture ratio of total annual runoff volume.At the same time,the Infoworks ICM model was used to simulate and verify the rationality of the decomposition of the capture ratio of the total annual runoff volume for each plot.The results show that after the development and construction of each plot according to the planned capture ratio of the total annual runoff volume,the drainage pipe network of the plot meets the 10-year return period of design.Under the condition of precipitation once in 100 years,there is water accumulation in some areas,but no waterlogging occurs.Research has shown that the capture ratio of the total annual runoff volume of each plot determined through decomposition can be used to guide the development and construction of the plot.The construction of sponge cities can effectively reduce rainwater discharge and enhance regional disaster prevention and reduction capabilities.…”

From bowls to pots: The dairying revolution in Northwest Turkey, a view from Barcın Höyük, 6600 to 6000 BCE. by Hadi Özbal, Adria Breu, Laurens Thissen, Fokke Gerritsen, Elisha van den Bos, Alfred Galik, Turhan Doğan, Muhiddin Çergel, Adnan Şimşek, Ayla Türkekul, Rana Özbal

“…Organic residue analysis of selected samples helped address the process of adoption and intensification of milk processing in this region over time. The lipid residue data discussed in this paper derive from 143 isotopic results subsampled from 173 organic residues obtained from 805 Neolithic potsherds and suggest that bowls and four-lugged pots may have been preferred containers for processing milk. …”

From Flipped Classroom to Flipped Learning: Evolution of the Concept and Its Philosophical Foundations by I. I. Gnutova

“…The paper shows that while using the inversion of homework and classroom work as the base principle, the flipped learning implies more conceptual changes in the learning process, namely, a radical rethinking of the role of the teacher, the student and the content of their face-to-face time. Flipped learning can be considered as a kind of educational meta-strategy that creates optimal conditions for the application of a personalized approach to learning, as well as of all the basic tactics of active learning. …”

Numerical Simulation of Tide and Tidal Current in Mangrove Creek by LI Yichun, LIU Shitong

“…Mangrove coast is one of the typical coasts in low latitude area.Mangrove is widely distributed in southern coastal cites of China,which is of great significance for tide resistance,shoal reinforcement,environmental protection and ecological security.However,mangrove hydrodynamics develops slowly in estuarine and coastal research.This paper establishes a two-dimensional hydrodynamic numerical model based on high-resolution scheme and ‘slot method’ to simulate and study the hydrodynamic characteristics of small-scale mangrove creek,and builds a simplified theoretical model based on water conservation to explore the relationship between maximum velocity and tide level.The results show that:The tidal current asymmetry in the creek is mainly affected by the incident tidal wave,and the topography in the creek cannot cause the alternation of asymmetric nature of tidal current;The mangrove is favorable for the flow structure in the creek to maintain the tidal flat and gather the materials;Mangrove has significant impact on the decrease of the longitudinal velocity on the tidal flat,but little effect on the transverse velocity;The density of natural mangrove has little effect on the velocity,and the increase of width of the deep channel promotes the flood-dominated tidal velocity;The tide level at maximum velocity is related to the depth-width ratio of the deep channel,the slope of the tidal flat and the scale of the deep channel,and affected by the flood-ebb time-asymmetry;The influence by tidal flat slope mainly comes from the change of tidal prism in the creek.The flood tide process is mainly controlled by the incident tidal wave at the entrance,while the ebb tide process is mainly affected by the volume of tidal prism in the creek.…”
