Spatial-temporal Analysis and Assessment of CMIP6 based Climate Simulation over the Qinghai-Xizang （Tibet） Plateau's Hinterland by Chunyu ZHANG, Aili LIU, Yanran LÜ, Tong JIANG, Min SUN

“…The hinterland of the Qinghai-Xizang （Tibet） Plateau is affected by two major circulation systems， Westerly Wind and Indian Ocean monsoon.The average altitude of the region is high， and the terrain is complex and changeable.It is extremely complicated that the temperature and precipitation conditions in this region as a comparison to other areas of the Qinghai-Xizang （Tibet） Plateau.In order to accurately obtain the temporal and spatial changes of temperature and precipitation in this region and predict future temperature and precipitation changes， based on the CN05.1 observation dataset， the ability of CMIP6 data to simulate temperature and precipitation in the hinterland of the Qinghai-Xizang （Tibet） Plateau was evaluated.CMIP6 was corrected using Spatial Disaggregation and Equidistant Cumulative Distribution Functions Method Temperature and precipitation conditions of 5 climate models and 7 scenarios in 2015-2100 were estimated.The results show that： （1） In the historical period （from 1961 to 2014）， the temperature and precipitation observation values of CMIP6 data have little deviation from the simulation values， and have strong space-time correlation.（2） In the future （from 2021 to 2100）， the annual average temperature and precipitation will show an overall upward trend.The percentage of temperature anomaly and precipitation anomaly in 2021-2100 of SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios increased significantly.The high value of temperatures anomaly is concentrated in the Qaidam Basin， and the high value of precipitation anomaly is located at the source of the Lancang River in the southeast.（3） In the future， the temperature will continue to increase in the four seasons， the precipitation will also show an overall trend of rise in four seasons.However， the degree of precipitation increase is distinct in different seasons and different scenarios.In the four seasons， the temperature increase of SSP5-8.5 scenario is the largest.The temperature of SSP5-8.5 scenario increases fastest in autumn； The precipitation of SSP3-7.0 scenario increases fastest in summer and winter， while that of SSP5-8.5 scenario increases fastest in spring and autumn.（4） Except for the SSP1-1.9 scenario， the temperature of each scenario from the recent period to the end of the period shows strong temporal and spatial similarity.Against to the historical period， the spatial distribution of temperature in spring and winter showed a consistently rising tendency is similar， and that in summer and autumn is similar.The precipitation increase is the largest in summer and the smallest in winter.Compared with the historical period， the spatial distribution of precipitation anomaly percentage shows a strong seasonality and regional feature.The high value area is mainly distributed in the southeast of the study area.…”

The Impact of Leader–Member Relationships on Team Effectiveness Through Speaking Up and Silence: A Cross-Sectional Study in Rural Chinese Hospitals by Wang H, Buljac-Samardzic M, van Wijngaarden JDH, van de Klundert J

“…Finally, speaking up mediates the associations of both leader-member perceived similarity and power distance orientation with perceived quality of care (β=0.15, p< 0.01; β=0.08, p< 0.01 respectively) and job satisfaction (β=0.30, p< 0.01; β=0.54, p< 0.01 respectively).Conclusion: Speaking up, rather than silence, contributes to team functioning by mediating the impact of leader–member relationships to team outcomes. …”

Diseño de un Controlador por Convergencia de Estado para un Sistema Teleoperado no Lineal con Retardo de Comunicación by Julio C. Tafur, Cecilia E. García, Rafael Aracil, Roque Saltarén

“…Abstract: This article presents a novel control scheme for bilateral teleoperation of n degree-of-freedom (DOF) nonlinear robotic systems with time-varying communication delay.The bilateral control of the teleoperator system considers the case were the human operator applies a constant force on the local manipulator and when the interaction of the remote manipulator with the environment is considered passive.The stability analysis was performed using Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals, and it showed that using a control scheme by state convergence for the cases with variant time delay resulted inasymptotically stable local and remote nonlinear teleoperation systems.The proposed control strategies are independent of parameter uncertainties in the robot models, the human operator and the remote environment.It is also shown that, in the case of reliable communication protocols, the proposed scheme guarantees that the local-remote position coordination is achieved.The experimental results are presented to show the effectiveness of the main results. …”
