Analysis and Case Study of Internal Forces in Nut Column Transmission System of Shiplifts by WANG Di, LIAO Le-kang, JIN Liao

“…These expressions accurately characterized the distinct mechanical behavior of the force transmission system under different loading scenarios. [Results] Theoretical predictions were validated through physical model testing, yielding several key findings. (1) Model validation: At x=L=4 950 mm, both deflections and internal forces of the nut column and adjustment beam approached zero, demonstrating the validity of the semi-infinite beam assumption. …”

The impact of drought on forest spring phenology in northern China by Haowen Hu, Pengcheng Xue, Shaodong Huang, Zong Wang, Nina Xiong, Liang Shi, Boyi Liang, Jia Wang

“…In humid region, drought causes an advance in the SOS for most areas, whereas in semi-arid region, the forests experience a pronounced delay in SOS due to drought conditions. (3) We further explored the different impact patterns of spring phenology during drought years across various hydroclimatic regions: in humid regions during dry years, SOS is primarily driven by elevated temperatures; conversely, in arid and semi-arid regions, SOS is predominantly influenced by water deficiency resulting from drought conditions. …”

Surface morphology segmentation and evaluation of diamond lapping pad based on improved Mask R-CNN by Wenlong SUO, Yanfen LIN, Congfu FANG

“…Dilated convolution is introduced in stage 3, and each residual block in stage 3 is improved into a residual block using dilated convolution to expand the receptive field, enhance the model's ability to extract deep semantic features of abrasive particles and pore targets of smaller scales on the surface of the lapping pad, and improve segmentation performance for abrasive grain and pore targets of different scales. The loss function and mean average precision (mAP) of Mask R-CNN are used to comprehensively reflect the performance of the model. …”

Screening for cold tolerance resources in maize seedlings and analysis of leaf cell responses by Mengting Hu, Mengting Hu, Dan Zhang, Dan Zhang, Wentao Du, Wentao Du, Huijuan Tian, Huijuan Tian, Ying Hao, Ying Hao, Shuqi Ding, Shuqi Ding, Kaizhi Yang, Kaizhi Yang, Ruohang Xu, Ruohang Xu, Lei Zhang, Lei Zhang

“…The results of the experiment indicate that: (1) Different maize varieties exhibit variations in cold tolerance during the seedling stage, and the extent to which various measurement indicators are affected by low-temperature stress differs. (2) The comparative analysis of phenotypic traits and physiological indexes showed that low temperature stress inhibited the growth of plant height and stem diameter, and had a great impact on leaf width and leaf area. …”
