Flood Period Classification Forecast Based on Information Fusion and Recognition by XIE Zhigao, LIU Xia, WU Hengqing, LIU Jin

“…To solve the low simulation accuracy of flood forecast models caused by limited historical flood data in river basins,this paper employs the K-means clustering method to cluster typical floods by taking reservoir A as the research object.Meanwhile,it analyzes hydrological influencing factors such as rainfall intensity,rainfall center,and weather system,calculates various parameters of confluence models through a genetic optimization algorithm,and adopts a rough set method to explore the relationship between influencing factors and flood period confluence patterns.Finally,the flood period classification forecast based on information fusion and recognition is conducted.The results are as follows:① The absolute and relative errors of the four selected typical floods calculated by the classification forecast method are 9.01 m³/s and 2.95%,116.46 m³/s and 6.78%,30.92 m³/s and 17.55%,and 6.12 m³/s and 1.86% respectively;② The simulation accuracy of the flood classification forecast model built in this paper is higher than that of the traditional forecast methods,and the determination coefficients of different typical floods are all above 0.8.The results can provide references for the flood period classification and forecast in north China and other regions with less flood data.…”

Le sentiment d’appartenance dans North and South d’Elizabeth Gaskell by Benjamine Toussaint-Thiriet

“…In a similar way, John Thornton and Nicholas Higgins will learn that social gaps are not unbridgeable either, as long as one understands that one’s sense of belonging to a social class need not lead to antagonism. Finally, it is important that people should understand that they are all mutually dependent but that it does not give them the right to try to control others : it is right to feel that you belong to others but not to think that others belong to you. …”

Comprehensive Evaluation and Dynamic Evolution Characteristics of Tourism Ecological Security Using the DPSIR-DS Model in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, China by Yue Pan, Jia Wang, Zhaolong An, Jianpu Li, Gangmin Weng

“…Results showed that: (1) the regional security level is in a good trend of weakening fluctuations and stable improvement, in which the upstream and downstream improvement is more significant, but still at a lower level in general. (2) The security levels of the 11 areas included were all located at Risk level to Relative Security level with significant differences, including Zhejiang, Anhui, Hubei, and Chongqing were the key ecological nodes for tourism ecological security improvement. (3) The transitions among security levels were frequent, while the higher levels were relatively unstable, implying that the tourism ecology has not improved in essence. Finally, strategic suggestions for improving tourism ecological security are proposed in terms of building joint prevention and control mechanisms, clarifying risk factors, and innovating protection paths.…”
