Wisdom of Landscape Construction of China’s West Lakes in Historical Period and Its Implications by Lyuyuan Jia, Qing Lin, Xiyue Wang, Wenzhen Jia, Ying Zhao, Zhiqing Zhang, Ziqi Cui, Song Chen, Aibo Jin

“…The results indicate the following: (1) The overall spatial distribution of WLs is related to China’s history of water conservancy development. (2) The evolution of and functional changes in WLs are influenced by multiple factors such as politics, economy, and culture during different historical periods and are directly related to the will of local administrators. (3) The initial functions of WLs can be categorized into three types, primarily related to urban infrastructure. (4) In terms of spatial relationships, there are four types of spatial relationships between WLs and their water sources and three types of spatial relationships between WLs and cities, forming a common pattern of “Mountains/Hills(–Water)–WL(–Water)–Cities(–Water, River, Sea)” or “WL(–Water)–Cities(–Water, River, Sea)”. (5) The scenery of WLs comprises six elements, including natural basements, water conservancy facilities, human settlements, secularization, landscape architecture, and animal and human activities, all imbued with poetic cultural connotations. …”

Effect of delayed sea ice retreat on zooplankton communities in the Pacific Arctic Ocean: a generalized dissimilarity modeling approach by Yuya Hibino, Kohei Matsuno, Kohei Matsuno, Amane Fujiwara, Yoshiyuki Abe, Nanami Hosoda, Motoyo Itoh, Atsushi Yamaguchi, Atsushi Yamaguchi

“…The increased sea ice concentration may restore the marine ecosystem to its previous state; nevertheless, the precise conditions and mechanisms involved remain unclear.MethodsIn this study, the 2008–2017 period was defined as “the sea ice retreat year,” and its zooplankton community distribution representative was estimated using generalized dissimilarity modeling (GDM). Subsequently, we assessed the effect of delayed sea ice melt on the zooplankton community by comparing the zooplankton community of the sea ice retreat year with that in 2021.ResultsIn GDM, numerous satellite parameters significantly affected the zooplankton distribution, with the highest effect during the open-water period and annual primary production (APP) and the lowest in water temperature. …”

Effect of Equal Channel Angular Pressing on the Surface Roughness of Solid State Recycled Aluminum Alloy 6061 Chips by Adel Taha Abbas, Mohamed Adel Taha, Adham Ezzat Ragab, Ehab Adel El-Danaf, Mohamed Ibrahim Abd El Aal

“…Surface roughness (Ra and Rz) of the processed recycled billets machined by turning was investigated. Box-Behnken experimental design was used to investigate the effect of three machining parameters (cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut) on the surface roughness of the machined specimens for four materials conditions, namely, extruded billet and postextrusion ECAP processed billets to one, two, and three passes. …”
