Brexit: Could France Follow the Lead? by R. I. Blagoveshchenskii

“…As in the UK, certain segments of the French population show growing concern about the prospect of losing national sovereignty given the country’s declining influence within the EU, and call to curb immigration (mainly from North Africa). Additionally, what makes France’s case really unique is that both rightand left-wing eurosceptics are consistently strengthening their influence in the Fifth Republic. …”

风机偏心对空冷梁式桥架振动实验研究 by 郭铁能, 孟令军, 白春生, 华旭

“…The vibration problem of air-cooling fan bridge has been troubling the north thermal power plant.Excessive vibration amplitude causes the damage of fan,motor,reducer and other equipment,and affects the stability and economic benefit of power plant operation.In this paper,the vibration speed of the air-cooling fan exceeded the standard as the research object,and the data acquisition instrument and acceleration sensor were used to test the vibration of the air cooling fan bridge in the power plant of xiaoyi in Shanxi Province.According to the frequency characteristics generated by these incentives,the main influence factors of the vibration of the fan bridge caused by the original fan blades were explored.By analyzing the vibration signal,the main influencing factors of the vibration of fan bridge are explored according to the frequency characteristics.The test results show that the excessive vibration of the bridge is caused by the interference force caused by the fan eccentric mass.During the operation of the fan,the phase of the sensor at the middle of the bridge alternates positively and negatively,and the fan shaft produces a sway,which is inconsistent with the expected horizontal vibration of the bridge.In order to verify the rationality of the above analysis,the finite element analysis of the bridge frame was carried out,and the results are consistent with the above conclusions.Through the forced vibration test and hammer test of the fan bridge,it is found that the maximum frequency value of the vibration of the fan bridge caused by eccentric mass is far away from the natural vibration frequency of the fan bridge,and will not cause the resonance phenomenon of the fan bridge.Therefore,the vibration of the fan bridge caused by eccentric mass is only related to the static stiffness of the fan bridge.The test results will provide a basis for the design of beam bridge and the avoidance of vibration caused by fan eccentricity.…”

Comparative Study on Characteristics of Urban Road Network in Station Catchment Area between China and Other Countries for Station-City Integration by Yi-Zheng Dai, Chen-Yang Zhang

“…Considering 20 station catchment areas encompassed by the station-city integration as examples, this study analyzes the intersection quantity and network density in station catchment areas to compare the characteristics of urban road networks in China with those in Europe, North America, and Japan. Combined with the square block model calculation, we found the following. (1) The network density in non-China cases is concentrated in 16–22 km/km2. …”

Variation Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Reference Crop Evapotranspiration in Guangdong Province under Climate Change by HUANG Song, DAI Jiaqi, ZHAO Baoshan, LIU Na, LI Hui, CHU Huaping

“…To explore the temporal and spatial variation characteristics of reference crop evapotranspiration (ET₀) in Guangdong Province under climate change and its influencing factors,based on the surface observation data of 37 meteorological stations in Guangdong Province during 1980—2020,the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith method was applied to calculate the daily ET₀ of each meteorological station.In addition,this research systematically analyzed the temporal and spatial variation characteristics of ET₀ in Guangdong Province and quantitatively studied the influence degree of various meteorological factors on ET₀ by using sensitivity and contribution rate analysis methods.The results show that in terms of time scale,the annual average ET₀ in Guangdong Province is 1 150 mm,and it shows a significant increasing trend at the rate of 14.84 mm/10a.In terms of spatial scale,ET₀ in Guangdong Province shows an increasing trend from north to south,with a variation range of 1 069~1 235 mm.ET₀ is more sensitive to relative humidity and temperature than sunshine duration and wind speed.The contribution rate analysis shows that temperature is the dominant factor for ET₀ variation in Guangdong Province,followed by sunshine duration,relative humidity,and wind speed.The potential increase in temperature combined with the decrease in relative humidity can lead to higher ET₀ and drought events in the future.This study can provide a scientific basis for water resources planning and agricultural irrigation management in Guangdong Province.…”

Temporal and Spatial Distribution Characteristics of Rainstorm in China Based on CMORPH Integrated Precipitation by ZHAO Zixi, CHEN Zhihe

“…Based on the data set of China automatic station and CMORPH precipitation product fusion grid,this paper analyzes the spatial-temporal distribution characteristics and change trend of rainstorm number and rainstorm amount in 2008—2016 in China by the methods of rainfall object identification and Theil-Sen estimator.The research shows that there are 24 676 rainstorms in 2008—2016,including 20 135 small rainstorms,4 230 heavy rainstorms and 311 extremely heavy rainstorms.The rainstorm events in the whole year are at most in 2012 and at least in 2011with only 42,which occur frequently from May to September,accounting for 80.8% of the whole year.In 2010,2012 and 2014,the rainstorms in the coastal areas of South China and North China accounted for a relatively high proportion,some of which reached more than 60%.In 2008,2013 and 2016,the rainstorms in the coastal areas of South China and Hubei accounted for a relatively high proportion.From May to September,the rainstorm in China is widely distributed with large amount,mainly in the Pearl River Estuary,Northeast Jiangxi,and coastal areas of Hainan,Taiwan,Zhejiang and Fujian,with an annual average monthly rainstorm of about 150 mm.The number and amount of rainstorms are decreasing from the southeast coast to the northwest inland,with high value areas mainly in South China and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.The distribution of small rainstorms is similar to that of the total rainstorms.The heavy rainstorms are mainly concentrated in the coastal areas of Guangdong and Guangxi,the eastern Hainan and the southern Taiwan.Extremely heavy rainstorms are scattered in Southeast China.In the past 9 years,the number of rainstorms has increased,especially in South China and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River,with significantly increased amount.…”
