Micromorphological and Chemical Approaches to Understand Changes in Ecological Functions of Metal-Impacted Soils under Various Land Uses by J. A. Acosta, S. Martinez-Martinez, A. Faz, J. M. Van Mourik, J. M. Arocena

“…We investigated the changes in faunal activities as measures of the ecological functions of soils impacted by potentially toxic metals (PTMs) under urban, industrial, agricultural, and natural uses. Concentrations and distributions of Zn, Cd, Pb, Cu, Mn, and Fe were estimated by sequential chemical extractions, while relicts and present faunal activities were studied by micromorphological analyses. …”

Energy saving proactive neighbor discovery algorithm in mobile low-duty-cycle wireless sensor network by Junbin LIANG, Xiang ZHOU, Taoshen LI

“…Mobile low-duty-cycle wireless sensor network is a new kind of wireless multi-hop network,which is self-organized by a large number of nodes that have mobile ability and are able to get into sleep for a long time.Such networks have wide application prospects in national defense,industry,agriculture and other fields that need long term monitoring in severe environments.However,the movement and the sleeping features of nodes lead to constantly change of network topology,which makes the nodes difficult to discover their neighbors quickly.Therefore,the nodes cannot achieve optimal distribution decisions.In order to solve this problem,a new proactive neighbor discovery algorithm was proposed.This algorithm made the nodes in the network take the initiative to find their neighbors when they woke up,and avoided the delay caused by long time waiting in the traditional passive neighbor discovery.In addition,by predicting the movement speed and distance of neighbors,the neighbor set at the next moment can be quickly determined,which can further reduce the delay and obtain more accurate neighbor discovery results.Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that compared with the existing algorithms,the algorithm can find all the neighbors in MLDC-WSN with less energy consumption and lower delay.…”

Differential Impact of Climate Change and Human Activities on Runoff Changes in the Upper Reaches of the Yellow River by LI Fang, ZENG Biao, LI Xungui, SHEN Yanqi

“…The results show that the evaluation indexes R² and NSE of five hydrological stations are all larger than 0.8.During the study period,the runoff changes in the source area of the YR were generally insignificant,and the runoff downstream declined earlier and more obviously than that upstream.The change in runoff in the middle section of the YR from 1986 to 2005 was affected by both climate change and human activities.After 2005,human activities were the leading factor for the reduction of runoff.The runoff changes in the lower part of the YR from 1986 to 1995 were jointly affected by climate change and human activities.The gradual strengthening of human activities was the main cause of runoff changes after 1995.The rapid development of industry,agriculture and urban agglomerations and the successive construction of hydropower stations have led to a change in the differential driving characteristics of runoff changes from “climate control” in the base period to “co-control by climate change and human activities” and finally to “dominant human activities.”…”

Study on the Response of Qingyuan City's Water Consumption to the Adjustment of Industrial Structure and Policy by FENG Fangguan, XIONG Yujiu, FANG Yizhou

“…The results show that:①The secondary and tertiary industries inQingyuan account for more than 80% of the total GDP and the primary industry(agriculture) contributes the remaining 20%, but the primary industry consumesmost of the water resources with a value greater than 80%;② Impacted by theecological-oriented policies of Qingyuan city, GDP of the secondary industry isdecreasing whereas it is increasing for the tertiary industry; ③ Waterconsumption of all the three industries changed a lot since 2012, i.e., theagricultural water consumption began to decline, with a value of approximately 200million cubic meters, and the water consumption of the secondary industry began todecrease, with a value of approximately 50 million cubic meters, and then increaseslightly; ④ Although the water consumption is declining, agriculture consumesmore than 80% of water resources, which mismatches its low contribution in GDP(less than 20%). …”
