An Interactive Clustering-Based Visualization Tool for Air Quality Data Analysis by Mahsa Ashouri, Frederick Kin Hing Phoa, Chun-Houh Chen, Galit Shmueli

“…Our analysis identifies a region in southernmost Taiwan as different from other zones that are currently grouped together with it by Taiwan EPA (TEPA), and a northern region that behaves differently from its TEPA grouping. All these cluster-based insights help EPA experts implement short-term zone-specific air quality policies (e.g., fireworks and traffic regulations, school closures) as well as longer-term decision-making (e.g., transport control stations, fuel permits, old vehicle replacement, fuel type).…”

Phospholipogenic Pharmaceuticals Are Associated with a Higher Incidence of Histological Findings than Nonphospholipogenic Pharmaceuticals in Preclinical Toxicology Studies by Linda R. Barone, Scott Boyer, James R. Damewood, James Fikes, Paul J. Ciaccio

“…Phospholipogenics yielded proportionally more histologic changes (exclusive of phospholipidosis itself) in all organs. Statistically significant higher frequencies of liver necrosis, alveolitis/pneumonitis, as well as lymphocytolysis in the thymus, lymph nodes, and spleen occurred in response to phospholipogenics compared to that for nonphospholipogenics.…”

Dynamic Model Test Based on Shaking Table of Wudongde High Arch Dam by XIONG Kun, HU Qingyi, CAO Quxiu

“…At present,there are few examples of high arch dams subjected to earthquakes in China and abroad,and there is a lack of sufficient and effective observation data of prototype seismic damage.Based on the shaking table dynamic model test,the seismic behaviors and damage process are studied for the 270 m-high Wudongde arch dam.The dam’s seismic failure mode of the dam body and structural seismically weak parts under strong earthquakes are compared and its seismic safety is evaluated.The results show that the model test analysis can obtain natural vibration characteristics and dynamic responses such as acceleration,dynamic strain,and transverse joint aperture under earthquakes,which are consistent with the numerical calculation results.Under extremely strong earthquakes,there are local cracks with limited extension depth near the foundation surface of the dam.The main damage area lies in the middle and upper part of the dam body,and horizontal macroscopic cracks occur in the area within about 1/3 of the height below the dam crest connecting the upstream and downstream.It is proved that the Wudongde high arch dam has a better stress condition,a smaller transverse joint aperture,and a higher ultimate seismic capacity under the design and calibrated earthquakes.…”
