天文望远镜传动直齿轮齿廓修形设计 by 冯锦平, 马文礼

“…Adopted high-order power function and short modification as the profile modification mode of spur gears used in astronomical telescopes,it can meet the necessity of the contact ratio and improve the static transmission error,and avoid stress concentration by eliminating addendum edge contacting with scraping.The pre-designed manufacturing transmission error curve is defined as profile modification parameter,the modified teeth faces are established based on virtual manufacturing process.The manufacture transmission error curve,the deformation error curve and the static transmission error curve are calculated by tooth contact analysis theory and finite element method,and the function of profile modification considering pitch errors is also derived under a certain torque.The static transmission errors and stress of pinion addendum are contrasted between ordinary spur gear and modified one in the simulation example.The simulated results verify that the effect of modification is obvious.…”

Landscape connectivity alters the evolution of density-dependent dispersal during pushed range expansions by Dahirel, Maxime, Bertin, Aline, Calcagno, Vincent, Duraj, Camille, Fellous, Simon, Groussier, Géraldine, Lombaert, Eric, Mailleret, Ludovic, Marchand, Anaël, Vercken, Elodie

“…However, we found evidence of changes in density-dependence, in particular regarding dispersal: populations went from positive to negative density-dependent dispersal at the expansion edge, but only when connectivity was high. As positive density-dependent dispersal leads to pushed expansions, our results confirm predictions that evolution during range expansions may lead pushed expansions to become pulled, but add nuance by showing landscape conditions may slow down or cancel this process. …”

Spatio-temporal characteristics of traditional village landscape pattern and its influencing factors from the perspective of tourism development: a case study of Huangcheng Village... by Zurui Lin, Kaiyi Chen, Kai Jiao, Zixuan Li

“…The results show that: (1) The landscape change mainly presents the non-natural landscape continuously occupying the natural landscape, and expands continuously around tourist resources in edge-expansion and leapfrog-expansion manner, among which the expansion from 2003 to 2011 is the most significant; (2) The dominance and connectivity of non-natural landscape are enhanced, and the overall landscape pattern experiences a “relatively complete – tending to fragmentation – tending to completeness” change process; (3) The dominant factors affecting landscape pattern have stage characteristics. …”
