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.…”

Comparative analysis of muscle synergies in gait of stroke patients and healthy controls by Dimitrios-Sokratis Komaris, Dimitrios Tsaopoulos, Konstantinos Risvas, Spiros Nikolopoulos, Vasilios Baltzopoulos, Constantinos Maganaris, Ioannis Kompatsiaris

“…Temporal activation coefficients of the muscle synergies between groups of strides were also compared using cross-correlation analysis.ResultsThe extracted muscle synergies were consistent in composition across all groups of control and stroke subjects, with four synergies identified in gait cycles on average. The comparison of the synergies’ temporal activation returned indexes (r) ranging from 0.60 to 0.74, with differences existing in the duration and timing of the activations of the hip flexors and knee extensors, dorsal flexors, and plantar flexors.DiscussionOur findings suggest a certain degree of preserved motor function in stroke patients’ gait, even in the presence of recent hemiparesis, but with evident alterations in the synergies’ temporal activation. …”
