Displacement-Based Back-Analysis of the Model Parameters of the Nuozhadu High Earth-Rockfill Dam by Yongkang Wu, Huina Yuan, Bingyin Zhang, Zongliang Zhang, Yuzhen Yu

“…Good agreement between the numerical results and the monitoring data was obtained for most observation points, which implies that the back-analysis method and decoupling method are effective for solving complex problems with multiple models and parameters. The comparison of calculation results based on different sets of back-analyzed model parameters indicates the necessity of taking the effects of creep and wetting into consideration in the numerical analyses of high earth-rockfill dams. …”

Quality of Life and Related Factors in Discharged Patients with COVID-19 by Jinzhuo HU, Wenhuan WU, Jinwen SUN, Wei ZHANG, Shu CHENG, Zicheng GAO, Jinghua QIAN

“…The correlation between the quality of life of patients and anxiety, depression and dyspnea and the related factors were analyzed.Results:A total of 57 questionnaires were distributed, and three duplicate and invalid questionnaires were eliminated, 54 valid questionnaires were obtained, with an effective questionnaire of 94.74%.①Quality of life of discharged patients with COVID-19: the physical component summary (PCS) scores and mental component summary (MCS) scores were (37.02±12.32) and (38.46±14.42) respectively; there were 3 cases (5.56%), 45 cases (83.33%), 5 cases (9.26%), and 1 case (1.85%) with dyspnea grade 0 to 3 respectively; 19 cases (35.19%) had an anxiety state (SAS≥50), and 19 cases (35.19%) had an anxiety state (SDS≥53). ②Comparison of quality of life of COVID-19 patients with different characteristics: patients with different disease types showed statistically significant differences in the SF-12V2 PCS(<italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.05). ③Correlation analysis between quality of life, anxiety, depression and dyspnea: Pearson's correlation indicated that, anxiety (<italic>r</italic>=-0.34, <italic>P</italic>=0.011) and dyspnea (<italic>r</italic>=-0.39, <italic>P</italic>=0.003) were negatively correlated with the PCS scores, anxiety (<italic>r</italic>=-0.46, <italic>P</italic>=0.001) and depression (<italic>r</italic>=-0.40, <italic>P</italic>=0.002) were negatively correlated with the MCS scores.④Analysis of influencing factors on the quality of life of COVID-19 patients: multiple linear regression indicated that, sex (β=8.27), depression (β=-0.34) and severity of illness (β=-11.68) were significant predictors of the SF-12V2 PCS scores (<italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.05). …”

Evolution, Characteristics and Inspirations of Management Zoning for National Parks in the United States by Zhenwei ZHANG, Hanyue XIAO, Yankang MAO

“…In addition, this research analyzes the nine characteristics of the management zoning for national parks in the United States: 1) Functional attribute of zoning — transform from functional zoning to comprehensive control zoning; 2) functional characteristics of zoning — most zones are similar to China’s main functional zone, rather than the restricted red line zone; 3) functional goal of zoning — strive to achieve the dual balance of “protection − utilization”; 4) zoning policies are of flexibility and complete; 5) zoning is based on the dynamic adaptive management theory; 6) zoning should be supported by a more comprehensive and systematic policy system; 7) zoning must be based on a scientific and rigorous policy system; 8) different designation areas and autonomous zoning composed its rigid and flexible frame; 9) zoning may be deduced through the comparison of multiple scenaro.ConclusionChina’s national park zoning should be regarded as a technical method relying on management rules, for which the system development should be strengthened. …”
