Fish Diversity Patterns in Rivers Receiving Ecological Water Supplement Driven by Riparian Land Use by LIU Han, LI Lu-dan, GUO Wei-jie, QIAO Qiang-long, GONG Dan-dan, DU Qi, LI Hang, ZHAO Wei-hua

“…[Objectives] This study aims to: (1) elucidate the spatiotemporal dynamics of fish communities and multi-dimensional diversity (species, functional, taxonomic) in ecological water supplement rivers of North China; and (2) determine the mechanistic effects of riparian land use across varying buffer sizes (0.5 km, 1 km, 2 km, 5 km) on these diversity patterns. The research focused on two major water-supplemented systems—the Ziya River Basin and Baiyangdian Lake Basin—during the ecological water supplement period from 2020 to 2022. …”

The Application of Digital Holographic Speckle Pattern Interferometry to the Structural Condition Study of a Plaster Sample by Kyriaki Kosma, Vivi Tornari

“…The body is heated by infrared radiation for two different time windows and the cooling process that follows is monitored in time by the so-called interferograms that are developed and are the result of the superposition of the holographic recordings of the sample prior to the thermal load and at variable time intervals during the cooling process. The fringe patterns in the interferometric images reveal features and characteristics of the interior of the material, with the experimental method and the post-process analysis adopted in this work offering accuracy, sensitivity and full-field diagnosis, in a completely non-destructive manner, without the need of sampling.…”
