Research on change law of fire smoke characteristics during dynamic sealing process of mine tunnels by Chengmao HE, Yang WANG, Qingfeng ZHANG

“…The results show that during the change of sealing ratio from 50% to 100%, the temperature at the center of the ceiling first sharply decreases and then slowly increases; after being sealed, the temperature above the fire source shows a distribution pattern of high temperature above and low temperature below, and the closer it is to the fire source, the faster the temperature decay rate; the vertical distribution of ceiling temperature shows an overall increase, the maximum temperature point shifts 1-3 m to the sealed side; the deposition phenomenon of smoke on the sealed side is obvious, and the stratification phenomenon disappears; the relationship between CO volume fraction and time is linear when one side is completely sealed. …”

Impact of aging on cardiovascular dynamics and heart rate variability during passive head‐up tilt by Manoj Kumar Choudhary, Kati Holmström, Heidi Bouquin, Tuomas P. Saarinen, Jenni K. Koskela, Essi Pietilä, Lauri Suojanen, Jukka T. Mustonen, Pasi I. Nevalainen, Ilkka H. Pörsti

“…However, the supine LF:HF ratio was higher in the oldest quartile than the youngest, a pattern not seen during HUT. In conclusion, higher arterial stiffness and systemic vascular resistance likely contribute to age‐related rises in BP and pulse pressure, reduced pulse pressure amplification, and shorter aortic reflection time. …”

Analysis of Spatio-Temporal Variations of the Average Snow Cover During the Cold Seasons in the Northwest of Iran by Seyed Hossein Mirmousavi, Zahra Heidari Monfared

“…The results of the present research showed that in the studied area, the snow cover has spatial autocorrelation and a strong cluster pattern. During the first decade to the end of the third decade, under the influence of the strong positive anomaly of the average minimum temperature (with an increasing trend), the amount of snow cover has decreased in all months of the cold season of the year, and sometimes in some months such as February (with threshold (the snow cover coefficient is 0.303 and higher) this trend of decreasing value is more noticeable. …”

Characteristics of Extreme Hourly Precipitation during Flood Season in Gansu Province from 1990 to 2019 by Li MA, Xiaojun YANG, Yong WANG, Haojun QIN, Yicheng WANG, Junxia ZHANG, Hong'e SHA

“…Based on hourly precipitation data of 68 meteorological stations in Gansu Province from 1990 to 2019， the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics and long-term trend of hourly extreme precipitation during main flood season （May-August） in Gansu Province were analyzed by using percentile threshold method from the characteristics of extreme hourly precipitation indices which decided by precipitation， frequency and intensity.It provided effective reference values for further understanding the occurrence regularity of extreme precipitation events in different climatic regions from arid to humid.The results showed that， （1） the extreme hourly precipitation indices decreased from southeast to northwest in Gansu Province.The occurrence of extreme hourly precipitation indices in southwest and southeast of Gansu accounted for a relatively high proportion， and it is the least in Hexi region of Gansu.（2） Extreme hourly precipitation reached its peak in August in southwest and southeast of Gansu， and in July in Hexi and central region of Gansu.The extreme hourly precipitation frequency was the highest in August in Hexi region and southeast of Gansu， and the highest in July in central region and southwest of Gansu.The extreme hourly precipitation intensity was the highest in August in the central region and southwest of Gansu， while the extreme hourly precipitation intensity was the highest in July in Hexi region and southeast Gansu.（3） The climatic trend rates of extreme hourly precipitation， frequency and intensity in Gansu were 6.32 mm·（10a）-1， 0.49 times·（10a）-1 and 0.14 mm·h-1·（10a）-1， respectively， and the increasing trend of precipitation and frequency in Hexi region and southeast of Gansu showed extremely significance.（4） The diurnal variation of extreme hourly precipitation indices in each region showed a single-peak pattern， and the peak value mainly appeared in the afternoon to early midnight.The climatic trend rates of extreme hourly precipitation indices increased in Hexi region and southwest of Gansu in most of the period.From noon to early midnight， the climatic trend rates of extreme hourly precipitation indices weakened in central region and increased in southeast region of Gansu Province.…”
