Simulation Analysis of Salt Diffusion at Wanquan River Estuary under Changing Environment by HAILAI Yibo, SHI Haoran, LIU Xiaoqing, LIU Jiao, FANG Mingyi, ZHANG Lanyue

“…The diffusion of offshore salt in inland rivers along with tidal waves has an important effect on the aquatic ecological environment of the estuary area.This paper,taking the Wanquan River Estuary as an example,used the Mike21 model to simulate the salinity distribution along the channel under different runoff and tidal levels and analyzed the change rules and leading factors.The results show that the river system and riverbed topography at the Wanquan River Estuary reduce the upward diffusion of salt propelled by the tide and that the salt is mainly distributed in the waters near the estuary.The salinity distribution along the upper reaches of the river decreases rapidly,and it basically remains unchanged when the tidal level increases by 0.1 m and 0.3 m,respectively.A sudden increase in salinity occurs where a curved or narrow channel changes the local water flow and salt accumulates.The upward diffusion range of salt is mainly affected by runoff. …”

Psychiatrization as a mechanism for handicapping students with intellectual disability. Psychiatrisation in education by Beata Gumienny

“…Psychiatryzacja wiąże się z dyskursem np. personelu szkoły skierowanym do uczniów z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną, z narracją nacechowaną pseudomedycznym określeniem: „chory lub zaburzony psychicznie”. Badania naukowe dowodzą, że uczniowie ci, ze względu na prezentowany specyficzny kod komunikacyjny, ukryty w zachowaniach (określanych jako trudne, agresywne, bierne, aspołeczne itp.), mogą być traktowani jako osoby zaburzone psychicznie. …”

Lattice-inspired NiTi-based metamaterials with widely tunable mechanical-superelastic synergy by Zhi Zhang, Jianbao Gao, Shuaishuai Wei, Bo Song, Yonggang Yao, Xu Zheng, Yuanjie Zhang, Lei Zhang, Qiaojiao Li, Jiafeng Wu, Yusheng Shi

“…For superelastic, the austenite- and martensite-inspired microlattice metamaterial had superior superelasticity (98.10%∼99.36% recoverability) with wide volume tuning space, the M-x possessed the highest recoverability with a narrow tailored range. The relation between different parameters with mechanical and superelastic properties was established through machine learning, and multiple performance optimizations were carried out with vascular stents as typical application objectives. …”
