How Severe Was the 2022 Flash Drought in the Yangtze River Basin? by Liyan Yang, Jia Wei

“…In this study, we propose a new method for explicitly characterizing flash drought events, with particular emphasis on the process of soil moisture recovery. The temporal and spatial evolution of flash droughts over the Yangtze River Basin was analyzed, and the severity of the extreme flash drought in 2022 was assessed by comparing its characteristics and impacts with those of three typical dry years. …”

Porous Single-Crystalline Rare Earth Phosphates Monolith to Enhance Catalytic Activity and Durability by Wenting Li, Lingting Ye, Chaoyang Tu, Kui Xie

“…The PSC PrPO₄ and SmPO₄ monoliths showed favorable performance with ~51% conversion of C₂H₆ and ~19% yield of C₂H₄ at 600 °C, while also exhibiting superior long-term stability during the catalytic process over a period of 115 h. In the presented work, we investigate a practical method for development and application in single-crystalline porous rare earth phosphate materials.…”

A multi layered encryption framework using intuitionistic fuzzy graphs and graph theoretic domination for secure communication networks by A. Meenakshi, S. Dhanushiya, Leo Mrsic, Antonios Kalampakas, Sovan Samanta

“…Key graph-theoretic measures, such as domination number, vertex categorization (alpha-strong, beta-strong, and gamma-strong), vertex order coloring, and chromatic number, play important roles in this process. Domination number finds the key vertices of the network, while vertex strength categorization and fuzzy graph coloring provide multiple encryption layers, hence the encoded message is highly resistant to decryption unless a proper key is used. …”

Study of drilling muds on the anti-erosion property of a fluidic amplifier in directional drilling by Jiang-fu He, Peng-yu Zhang, Qi-lei Yin, Kun Yin, Hou-ping Liu

“…Simulation results have shown that the jet nozzle of fluidic amplifiers is primarily abraded, afterwards are the lateral plates and the wedge of the fluidic amplifier, which shows extraordinary agreement with the actual cases of fluidic amplifier in drilling process. It can be concluded that particle size, solid content and jet velocity have a great influence on the anti-erosion property of a fluidic amplifier, and the erosion rate linearly varies with the particle size of drilling muds, nevertheless exponentially varies with solid content and jet velocity of drilling muds. …”
