Land use transition and its driving mechanisms in China’s human-elephant conflict areas by WANG Yuan, WANG Yahui, YANG Aoxi, FAN Hui, XIE Fei

“…In the core conflict areas, a multi-crop structure dominated by rubber has formed (accounting for 69.8% of the planting area). (2) Land use in the core conflict zone exhibits relatively extensive patterns, with land transfer rates and input-output efficiency demonstrating significantly lower values compared to those observed in peripheral regions. (3) Land use transition is influenced by multiple factors, including Asian elephant activities, economic development, and agricultural policy adjustments. …”

Thermal limit of helical-nut surfaced tubes for divertor cooling by Ji Hwan Lim, Seung-Hwan Yu

“…Historical investigations have grappled with the challenge posed by predicting the thermal limit for HNS tubes under unidirectional high thermal loads, as extant thermal limit correlations—analyzed under subcooled flow boiling conditions—fail to account for the intricate helical fin surface structures intrinsic to HNS tubes. Consequently, these correlations consistently underestimate the thermal limit. …”
