Spatial and Temporal Variation Characteristics of Drought in Guizhou Province Based on VCI and Division of Arid Regions by DAI Renli, ZHONG Jiusheng

“…Due to its unique dual hydrological structure of surface water and groundwater and typical karst low mountain and hilly landform area,the agricultural ecological environment of Guizhou Province is extremely fragile,and it is prone to agricultural disasters caused by meteorological factors,leading to reduced agricultural production.This paper calculates the VCI of Guizhou Province from 2001 to 2018 by remote sensing technology,explores the agricultural drought situation in Guizhou Province,divides the spatial distribution of seasonal arid regions in Guizhou Province with ArcGIS spatial overlay analysis,and analyzes the VCI trend characteristics of Guizhou Province through the unary linear trend method.The results show that:①The seasonal and inter-annual VCI in Guizhou Province generally show a downward trend,most obviously in karst areas,followed by non-karst areas;②Guizhou Province's seasonal droughts are mainly spring and winter droughts,and dry karst areas is a drought-prone area;③The drought time characteristics of Guizhou Province are mainly seasonal continuous drought and three-season continuous drought.…”

Effect of Velocity Slip Boundary Condition on the Flow and Heat Transfer of Cu-Water and TiO2-Water Nanofluids in the Presence of a Magnetic Field by Abdelhalim Ebaid, Fahd Al Mutairi, S. M. Khaled

“…The exact expression for the fluid velocity is obtained in terms of the exponential function, while an effective analytical procedure is suggested and successfully applied to obtain the exact temperature in terms of the generalized incomplete gamma function. It is found in this paper that the Cu-water nanofluid is slower than the TiO2-water nanofluid for both cases of the stretching/shrinking sheets. …”

The Mountains of Tibet in Powell & Pressburger’s Film Black Narcissus (1947) by Raphaëlle Costa de Beauregard

“…Cette étude souligne le lien entre cinéma en couleur et rêve dans le film : trois rêves d’un Mopu idéal sont présentés : un Mopu qui serait comme une ville anglaise, les rêves secrets des femmes, tel que le rêve amoureux (amour passion, couleurs vives "wildly exotic zerotic"), et aussi rêve sur la montagne bleu/blanc : le saint homme rêve de communiquer avec la création. D’une manière générale la montagne bleue est présentée comme un lieu céleste, inaccessible et envoûtant tout à la fois : il s’agit aussi d’un rêve éveillé pour le metteur en scène puisque le film a été entièrement réalisé en studio, du moins en ce qui concerne les séquences à Mopu, c’est-à-dire au cœur de l’Himalaya…”
