Turbulent Transport Efficiency of Momentum and Sscalar over Forest Canopy in Southern Sichuan by Yi DING, Yu ZHANG, Demin FAN, Youqi SU, Qian ZHANG, Yanqi WANG, Yanqi WANG

“…The turbulent transport characteristics of momentum and scalar over the canopy were studied by using the three levels （20 m， 38 m and 56 m） turbulence data measured at the 60m forest micro meteorological tower in southern Sichuan from May 1 to June 30， 2021.Coherent structure is the main form of turbulent motion， which is composed of updraft （ejection） and downdraft （sweep）.In this paper， the quadrant analysis method is used to analyze the boundary of the roughness sublayer， roughness sublayer and constant flux layer above the forest canopy and the ejection-sweep motion characteristics of the constant flux layer， including the difference of ejection and sweep contribution to flux， the difference between momentum and scalar transport， and the difference between different scalar （T， q， CO2） transport.The results show that under unstable and stable conditions， the ejection dominates the scalar transport at all three levels， while the sweep is the main eddy current motion for scalar transport above the roughness sublayer under neutral conditions.For the momentum flux， under unstable conditions， the ejection dominates at all three levels.Under stable conditions， the ejection dominates at the roughness sublayer and the constant flux layer， while at the boundary of the roughness sublayer and the constant flux layer， the effect of the sweep is greater than that of the ejection.Under neutral conditions， the flux contribution of the sweep is greater than that of the ejection except for the roughness sublayer.The third-order cumulant expansion method （CEM） can more accurately express the flux contribution caused by ejection and sweep， while the incomplete cumulant expansion method （ICEM） is poor in simulating the temperature at the boundary of roughness sublayer and constant flux layer.Through the calculation of transmission efficiency， the difference between momentum and scalar transmission is further quantified.The turbulent transfer efficiency of momentum decreases with increasing instability， while the heat transfer efficiency is the opposite.Atmospheric stability is an important factor controlling momentum and scalar transfer， and the transfer efficiency of water vapor is less affected by atmospheric stability.Under the condition of strong instability， the heat transfer efficiency is more effective than other scalar transfer.…”

An efficient surface electromyography-based gesture recognition algorithm based on multiscale fusion convolution and channel attention by Bin Jiang, Hao Wu, Qingling Xia, Hanguang Xiao, Bo Peng, Li Wang, Yun Zhao

“…Abstract In the field of rehabilitation, although deep learning have been widely used in multitype gesture recognition via surface electromyography (sEMG), their higher algorithmic complexity often leads to low computationally inefficient, which compromise their practicality. To achieve more efficient multitype recognition, We propose the Residual-Inception-Efficient (RIE) model, which integrates Inception and efficient channel attention (ECA). …”

Study on the morphological and physiological characteristics of roots in rice genotypes with contrasting P efficiency by LI Yong-fu, LUO An-cheng, HUANG Ji-de, WEI Xing-hua

“…Lianzhen 11 showed higher root secreted APA than Jia 948 at deficient P treatment; whereas there was no difference at sufficient P treatment. In conclusion, compared to genotype Jia 948, the higher P efficiency of Lianzhen 11 can be explained by the fact that Lianzhen 11 has a greater root system and maintains a higher root secreted APA and lower K_m and C_min under P-deficient conditions.…”

CALCULATION AND ANALYSIS IN THE EFFICIENCY OF APPLYING THE QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS WITHIN INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATIONS by ANDREI DIAMANDESCU, VIRGILIU-LUCIAN IONIȚĂ

“…If in terms of the total quality management system – TQM, the impact may be measured by comparing the business performance with a reference standard (for instance ISO 9001), which records the difference compared to the performance prior to implementing the TQM, or, on rarer occasions, by optimizing the costs of quality with the help of econometric models, for the integrated quality improvement system, comprising of the TQM system based on the ISO standards and the Kaizen management system, which we propose and assess within this article, the efficiency/performance will be measured through a methodology based on analyzing the evolution of financial indicators for business performance. …”
