Research Progress and Prospect of Extreme Water Increase by Storm Surge in Estuaries — A Case Study of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area by LIU Yuexuan, LI Huijing, LI Lanbin, LIU Xiaojian

“…Significant increases in water and extreme tide levels caused by typhoon storm surges are the primary threat to flood safety in estuarine areas,and are also the main cause of major natural disaster losses in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in recent years.This paper reveals the evolution patterns of water increase in storm surges over the years and introduces corresponding research methods.Meanwhile,it systematically reviews research achievements on the formation mechanism of extreme tide levels in storm surges from both foreign and domestic perspectives.Combined calculation models of extreme tide levels formed by astronomical tides and storm surges in China and abroad are also summarized,with a focus on achievements in dynamic mechanisms during extreme water increase in storm surges.Additionally,a two-dimensional nested mathematical model of storm surges in the South China Sea and the Pearl River Estuary is built,and the most unfavorable typhoon intensity and path are designed.The maximum water increase distribution in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is preliminarily simulated and obtained.Finally,it is urgent to put forward a set of safe,concise,and applicable formula for calculating the extreme tide levels of storm surges as soon as possible based on the understanding of the physical mechanism of the interaction between astronomical tides and storm surges.…”

Identidade étnica, índios e direito penal no Brasil:paradoxos insustentáveis by Daize Fernanda Wagner

“…Teriam tais estudos influenciado a compreensão sobre identidade indígena no Direito brasileiro, especialmente no que se refere à sua repercussão no âmbito penal? A formulação de tal questionamento se justifica, pois muitas decisões judiciais ainda utilizam como critério para comprovação da identidade indígena a existência de documentos que a atestem, o que afronta o reconhecimento aos indígenas estabelecido pela Constituição Federal de 1988 e também pela Convenção 169 da OIT. …”

GDF15 induces immunosuppression via CD48 on regulatory T cells in hepatocellular carcinoma by Meng Li, Yuan Gao, Wei Zhang, Zhijun Tan, Kuo Zhang, Zhaowei Wang, Lei He, Weina Li, Chuanyang Xu, Jieyu Zhang, Desheng Wang, Kefeng Dou, Ran Zhuang, Boquan Jin, Qiang Hao, Wangqian Zhang, Shuning Wang, Jintao Gu, Lei Shang, Haichuan Su, Yingqi Zhang, Cun Zhang

“…GDF15 promotes the generation of peripherally derived inducible Treg (iTreg) cells and enhances the suppressive function of natural Treg (nTreg) cells by interacting with a previously unrecognized receptor CD48 on T cells and thus downregulates STUB1, an E3 ligase that mediates forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) protein degradation. GDF15 neutralizing antibody effectively eradicates HCC and augments the antitumor immunity in mouse.Conclusions Our results reveal the generation and function enhancement of Treg cells induced by GDF15 is a new mechanism for HCC-related immunosuppression. …”

Study on Dynamic Characteristics and Parameter Influence of a Kind of Bilateral Restraint Impact Vibration System by Li Ding, Shangshang Cheng, Kaifei Zhang, Jiajun Chai, He Li, Chengdong Niu, Chao Cao

“…In this paper, the hinge in the articulated structure is studied, the gap hinge is described as a nonlinear bilateral constraint, and the equivalent modeling and analysis of the hinge connection collision vibration are carried out based on the Lankarani–Nikravesh nonlinear contact force model. With the help of the method of nonlinear system dynamics analysis research, the Poincaré mapping of hinge joint collision vibration is constructed, the bifurcation diagram of the system with different parameters is solved, and the variation law of the system motion and the influence of parameters are analyzed by combining the time response diagram, phase diagram, Poincaré cross section diagram, and spectrum diagram of the typical motion of the system. …”
