Establishment of an animal model for monkeypox virus infection in dormice by Gaojie Song, Lingling Cheng, Jun Liu, Yu Zhou, Cuiling Zhang, Yuping Zong

“…Dormice infected with MPXV exhibited typical symptoms such as appetite loss, continuous body weight reduction, aggravated respiratory difficulties, accompanied by lethargy, chills, and other clinical manifestations similar to human monkeypox infection. Virological tests further confirmed the distribution of MPXV in multiple vital organs of dormice, including the lungs, liver, spleen, and trachea, with particularly significant pathological damage observed in lung tissue. …”

Temporal-spatial Evolution of Drought Characteristics at Different Grades in Yulin by KONG Gang, ZHANG Shanliang, WANG Lu, HUANG Shengzhi, BAI Jueying

“…Under the background of climate warming and human activities,Yulin city suffers from frequent drought,which has adverse effect on the agriculture,ecological environment and social economy in this area.Although the adverse effects of drought on the Loess Plateau have attracted the attention of many scholars,there is still a lack of grid and refined spatial and temporal assessment of drought in Yulin City.Therefore,taking Yulin City as the study area,based on the monthly precipitation and soil moisture data with a spatial resolution of 0.25°×0.25°,this paper calculates the standardized precipitation index (SPI) and the standardized soil moisture index (SSMI) on three month scales,identifies the drought characteristic parameters by the run theory,and analyzes the spatial-temporal evolution of drought characteristics at different grades.The results show that:The drought is rigorous in Yulin city.In time,a wet trend appears in spring and winter,while a dry trend in summer.In space,there is a significant dry trend in the southern of Yulin city.There are more than 6 months of long-term precipitation deficit and 12 months of long-term soil moisture deficit in Yulin City,respectively,and the month with consecutive precipitation deficit come earlier than the soil moisture deficit.Areas with high drought frequency are located in the northern,southern and eastern edges of Yulin.The conclusion is of great significance to the drought prevention,social production and ecological environment in Yulin city.…”

Spatial and Temporal Characteristics of Precipitation and Runoff Response in Yalong River Basin by CHANG Xinyu, LIU Bin, JIA Yugong, FU Zhiyu

“…Under the dual influence of climate change and human activities,extreme climate occurs frequently around the world,and the precipitation in the studied basin has undergone profound changes,so it is necessary to further explore the inherent characteristics and variation laws of precipitation and runoff and thus enhance the understanding of the evolution laws of hydrological and meteorological elements in the basin under the changing environment.In this paper,Mann-Kendall nonparametric test,R/S analysis,moving t-test,and Morlet wavelet transform are introduced to analyze the interannual trend and identify abrupt changes and periodic characteristics of precipitation at meteorological stations in the Yalong River Basin in the past 50 years,and the response degree of runoff to precipitation is measured by correlation coefficient.The results show that the Hurst index of precipitation in the basin is greater than 0.5,and the precipitation trends at Qingshuihe,Shiqu,and Zhongdian stations are more significant;at the same time,due to the continuous influence of the changing environment,the precipitation in the basin has a multi-scale significant period in both time and frequency domains,and the precipitation fluctuates during small periods of 1.0~2.5 years and large periods of 4~6 years.Besides,the meteorological stations with strong runoff responses to precipitation in the basin are obtained,and the precipitation trend of other stations is not significant except Zhongdian station.The research results can provide a scientific basis for selecting driving factors of the nonlinear runoff forecasting model.…”
