Effects of Simulated Nitrogen and Phosphorus Deposition on Dioecious <i>Populus cathayana</i> Growth and Defense Traits by Junyu Li, Yongmei Liao, Wanrong Wei, Xiaoqin Xu, Jundong He, Tingting Zhao

“…Human activities have increased the imbalance in atmospheric N and P deposition, which changes soil nutrient availability and subsequently affects the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems. Dioecious plants are important parts of terrestrial ecosystems and are characterized by sex-related differences in their response to the external environment and always exhibit a skewed sex ratio, which makes them more vulnerable to climate change and increases their risk of extinction. …”

Construction and application of copula-based trivariate standardized river disconnection index for seasonal rivers in arid and semi-arid areas by Qingqing Qi, Zipeng Wang, Zezhong Zhang, Hang Yin, Hexin Lai, Yiyang Zhao, Fei Wang, Kai Feng

“…Optimal distribution functions vary across regions, times, and datasets; therefore, using the best monthly distribution functions to compute SRI, SGDI, and SSMI provides a more scientifically robust mathematical and statistical basis. (2) The SSRDI, which combines surface water, groundwater, and soil water, is more consistent with the actual hydrological conditions of Tabu River compared to the three univariate indices. (3) From 2002 to 2020, the SSRDI for Tabu River shows a continuous declining trend, albeit at a slowing rate. …”

Urban Resilience Assessment on Earthquake (Case Study: District 1 of Tabriz City) by Nazli Pakru, Mir saeid Moosavi

“…After preparing the layer for each criteria, Fuzzy layers are extracted using fuzzy functions. Using the SUM, AND, GUMMA operators, the final layers were generated, which was evaluated using the Band Collection Statistics tool, the gamma layer 0.9 was selected as the best output. based on the scenario of gamma 0.9 in the study area, about 26% of the area has very low and low resilience. …”

Structure-based modeling of artificial leather used in sports with non-symmetric fiber distribution by Tonghuan QU, Akihiro MATSUDA

“…Therefore, we propose a novel anisotropic hyperelasticity constitutive model which describes the mechanical behavior of fiber-reinforced material by using a generalized structure tensor in the form of separated in-plane and out-of-plane fiber distribution and by applying the sine-skewed von Mises distribution function as the in-plane fiber distribution function. …”
