Study on freeze-thaw damage of surface and pore structure of steam cured concrete by Jialin Chen, Zhifan He, Shoukai Chen, Phu Minh Vuong Nguyen, Jinping Liu, Haoke Xu

“…This study aims to investigate and provide a better understanding of the surface damage pattern and pore structure of SCC. In this paper, a 3D scanner was used to scan the surface topography of SCC under five conditions of F-T (the number of F-T was 0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 respectively), and the spatial distribution of point cloud data generated by scanning results was analyzed, and surface roughness was introduced to quantify the damage effect of F-T cycle on the surface of SCC. …”

The impact of land use transition on ecosystem service value in Lixiahe area: Multi-scenario simulation based on Markov-FLUS model by CHEN Xinwei, LI Hongbo, ZHANG Wenbo, GE Xiaoping

“…The main form of land use type transformation was from cultivated land to wetland or construction land, and the active transformation areas were concentrated in the central and eastern and western boundary areas. (2) The ecosystem service value of the study area in 1990, 2005 and 2020 showed a year-on-year increasing trend, and the spatial pattern was relatively stable. Overall, it presented a distribution feature of “low on the periphery and high in the center”. (3) The Markov-FLUS model has strong applicability in the region. …”
