Spatial-Temporal Variation of Vegetation NDVI and Its Response to Climate in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area from 2012 to 2021 by FU Xiang, LIU Hao

“…Exploring the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) variation of vegetation and its response to climate change in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is of great significance for regional ecological environment restoration and vegetation improvement.According to MODIS NDVI data and meteorological data,Sen trend analysis,coefficient of variation (CV),and correlation analysis were adopted to analyze the spatio-temporal variation characteristics of vegetation and its response to climate change in the Greater Bay Area in recent 10 years.The results show that:①The NDVI of the vegetation in the Greater Bay Area generally shows a slow upward trend,with a rising slope of 0.003 3 /a,and the effect of continuous improvement of vegetation is great;②the NDVI stability of vegetation in the Greater Bay Area is relatively strong,with an average CV of 0.054 8.The areas with low and lower fluctuation changes of vegetation account for 89.94%,while those with high and higher fluctuation changes are mainly distributed in Foshan,Zhongshan,Dongguan,Shenzhen,Zhuhai,south of Guangzhou,and other regions with rapid economic development;③the correlation between NDVI of vegetation and average temperature in the Greater Bay Area is higher than that between NDVI of vegetation and precipitation.Temperature is the dominant factor affecting vegetation growth,and precipitation is mainly negatively correlated with the NDVI of vegetation.The research results can provide a theoretical basis for the ecological environment governance and green sustainable development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.…”

Numerical Simulation of Tide and Tidal Current in Mangrove Creek by LI Yichun, LIU Shitong

“…Mangrove coast is one of the typical coasts in low latitude area.Mangrove is widely distributed in southern coastal cites of China,which is of great significance for tide resistance,shoal reinforcement,environmental protection and ecological security.However,mangrove hydrodynamics develops slowly in estuarine and coastal research.This paper establishes a two-dimensional hydrodynamic numerical model based on high-resolution scheme and ‘slot method’ to simulate and study the hydrodynamic characteristics of small-scale mangrove creek,and builds a simplified theoretical model based on water conservation to explore the relationship between maximum velocity and tide level.The results show that:The tidal current asymmetry in the creek is mainly affected by the incident tidal wave,and the topography in the creek cannot cause the alternation of asymmetric nature of tidal current;The mangrove is favorable for the flow structure in the creek to maintain the tidal flat and gather the materials;Mangrove has significant impact on the decrease of the longitudinal velocity on the tidal flat,but little effect on the transverse velocity;The density of natural mangrove has little effect on the velocity,and the increase of width of the deep channel promotes the flood-dominated tidal velocity;The tide level at maximum velocity is related to the depth-width ratio of the deep channel,the slope of the tidal flat and the scale of the deep channel,and affected by the flood-ebb time-asymmetry;The influence by tidal flat slope mainly comes from the change of tidal prism in the creek.The flood tide process is mainly controlled by the incident tidal wave at the entrance,while the ebb tide process is mainly affected by the volume of tidal prism in the creek.…”

Analysis of Bearing Capacity and Seismic Performance of Circular RC Columns Strengthened with Externally Wrapped Steel Plates by Chunli Zhou, Xiaowei Li, Dongbo Wang, Shunxiang Xia

“…The results showed that the bearing capacity of the normal section of the RC column after strengthening was about 80% higher than that before strengthening, and the results of FEM software were in accord with the calculation results of theoretical formula to some degree. Under horizontal low-cyclic reversed loading, the columns after strengthening had both plumper hysteresis curves and higher ductility factors and equivalent viscous damping coefficient than those before strengthening, indicating the energy dissipation capacity, plastic deformation capacity, and seismic performance of the RC columns after strengthening were all obviously improved.…”

Schönberg, Dahlhaus und das Problem der ›emanzipierten Dissonanz‹ – Anmerkungen zu op. 15/14 by Volker Helbing

“…In his first part this article deals with Dahlhaus’s interpretation of Schönberg’s »emancipation of the dissonance« (a term inseparable from [or: inextricably linked to] the dissolution of tonality) and with the gradual change of this interpretation (influenced by Adorno) due to developments in the field of compositional history, cultural history and historiography. The resulting theoretical questions are discussed within the second part by means of an analysis of op. 15 no 14. …”

Acute toxicity test and lethal dose (LD50) from a combination of sambiloto extracts (Andrographis paniculate) and catfish oil (Pangasius micronema Blkr.) in mice by Rinanda Al Rissa Rizki Hera, Meitasari Annisa Diyan, Sasongko Heru

“…The toxicity test results indicated toxicity symptoms at the highest dose, but the combination of extracts’ LD50 value was pseudo-LD50, implying that test animals could theoretically still receive the highest dose value. The statistical analysis revealed no significant differences in the body and organ weight of the mice, indicating that this research could still use the combination of the two extracts up to the highest dose.…”
