Revealing the mismatch in the response to warm-wetting climate of vegetation greenness and primary productivity using MODIS GPP/LAI in Nepal by Dongping Zhong, Lingwen Zeng, Ye Chen, Yingdong Tong, Nana Bai, Jia Sun, Dongdong Zhang, Yingchun Fu

“…The results indicated both GPP and LAI increased significantly more during the dry season than the rainy season in Nepal, but the coupling degree of GPP-LAI in Nepal showed distinct seasonal and elevational differences. Relative to low coupling degree in high and low elevation regions, a higher yet gradually decreasing coupling degree was demonstrated in the mid high regions of central Nepal. …”

Case Report: Combined Autoimmune Pancreatitis, Ulcerative Colitis and Sclerosing Cholangitis in 28-y.o. Patient by A. R. Khurmatullina, A. V. Okhlobystin, L. N. Androsova, R. T. Rzayev, A. S. Tertychnyy, A. P. Kiryukhin, O. Z. Okhlobystina, M. S. Zharkova, O. S. Shifrin, V. T. Ivashkin

“…To determine the etiology of pancreatitis IgG4 serum level was examined, that showed over 2-fold elevation. This required differential diagnostics between PSC with IgG4 elevation, UC and type 2 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) (more common in European population) on one hand and IgG4-associated systemic disease (more common in Asian population) with bile ducts, pancreas and large intestine involvement on the other. …”

Research on River-lake Demarcation Technology Fusing Radar Point Cloud andOrthophoto by XIA Zuwei, RONG Lihui

“…In the demarcation of rivers, lakes and water conservancy projects, whenthe airborne lidar point cloud data is used alone to automatically filter andclassify, low vegetation points are easily misclassified and misjudged as groundpoints,affected by the dense distribution of vegetation in the measured area, thusresulting in the failture of accurately extracting interest elevation featurelines. Combining the characteristics of rich spectral information and high groundresolution of orthophotos, this paper proposes a method of accurate extraction ofmanagement and protection range lines fusing point cloud and orthophotos, andapplies it to the Nanwan Reservoir project. …”

Analysis of statistical resolution limit based on Rao test by Minhong SUN, Yanfang LIU, Hua ZHONG, Jianrong BAO

“…Since the approach of analyzing statistical resolution limit (SRL) based on generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) has the problems of high computational complexity and isn’t easy to get the analytical formula of the detection statistics,a method for the analysis of the SRL based on Rao test was proposed.The unidimensional SRL of azimuth under the cases of known and unknown noise variance,two-dimensional SRL of azimuth and elevation under the case of known noise variance were analyzed.The Rao test detection statistic and the minimum SNR required for the corresponding SRL were derived,the detection performance and the computational complexity of the Rao test were analyzed and compared with the GLRT method.Simulation results verify the validity of the Rao test.…”

Experimental Study on Shape and Discharge Capacity of Spillway of Yuyang Lake by LI Songping, JIA Wenbo, ZHAO Yuliang, ZHAO Xueping, CAI Yi

“…According to the actual operation of spillway of Yuyang Lake in Jiyuan City,this paper systematically studies the spillway shape,discharge capacity,flow pattern &amp;velocity,pressure distribution,energy dissipation and scour prevention based on the hydraulic model test,and further optimizes the engineering design through the comparison test of different schemes.The test results show that the discharge capacity can meet the design requirements after the spillway inlet elevation is reduced;and the energy dissipation is improved after the stilling basin is changed from the secondary level to the first level,which can play a good role in protecting the downstream.In view of the phenomenon that the water flows through the top of the wall,reasonable suggestions are put forward to heighten the pier head at the inlet and the wing wall at the downstream of the spillway.…”

Research on Numerical Simulation of the Influence of Valley Down-cutting on Unloading of Bank Slope by LI Wancai, DENG Hui, SU Hang, DING Zhonghui, LU Bifeng, HAO Hao, LI Anrun

“…The results show that during the process of valley down-cutting,in the horizontal direction, the stress inside the slope is greater than that of the free face of the slope with the same elevation; the displacement perpendicular to the channel increases gradually; the unloading depth continuously extends to the inside of the slope; and the existence of the ductile shear zone has a greater impact on the unloading of the rock mass.…”

Transmission characteristics of air-ground channel in aerial communication platform by Xiaobin FU, Baohui ZHENG

“…Satellite communication can solve the problem of global communication,at the same time,it follows the problems of difficult deploy and limited satellite resources.Aerial communication platform is consisted of aircraft with payload communication and not more than 10 km from ground.The platform communicating with ground nodes can solve the weakness of traditional satellite communication.The loss of air-to-ground channel was analyzed to model the air-to-ground wideband channel in Ku and Ka band.The consequence of theory and simulation demonstrates that the fading of the model has serious influence on transmission performance.In low elevation transmission,the value of K-factor is small because of multipath reception.Simulation results show that orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) can be a good candidate for wideband communications to transmit payload data from aerial platform to ground station.…”
