PMSM integral sliding mode control based on improved power exponential reaching law by Weilai Shang, Hengqiang Wang

“…To address these limitations, we propose an integral sliding mode control strategy, enhanced by an improved power exponential reaching law (IPERL). This strategy integrates an IPERL based on state error and an integral sliding mode surface, enabling the system to respond rapidly to changes in operating conditions while effectively mitigating oscillatory behavior. …”

Analysis for Hydrological Regime of the Lower Reaches of Geheyan Reservoir Based on IHA-RVA Method by TU Yulyu, LI Yinghai, GUO Jiali, NIE Panpan

“…In order to evaluate quantitatively the change of ecological and hydrological regime of the lower reaches of Geheyan reservoir,based on the daily flow data of Changyang hydrological station from 1951 to 2010,this paper analyzes the flow trend with the non-parameter Mann-Kendall trend test,and the abrupt change points by Mann-Kendall test,moving t test and ordered clustering,and then comprehensively evaluates the ecological and hydrological changes of Changyang section at the lower reaches of the Geheyan reservoir with IHA-RVA (indicators of hydrologic alteration and range of variability approach) and hydrological alteration degree evaluation.The results show that:The annual average runoff of Changyang station shows unobvious downward trend.In 2000,there was an abrupt change.In overall,the hydrological regime is featured with 58% of moderate change,and indicators with the most obvious change are the base flow index,time of annual minimum flow,duration of low flow pulse and number of reversals,which can provide reference for water ecological protection of Qingjiang River Basin.…”

Spatial-Temporal Evolution Characteristics of NDVI in Middle and Lower Reaches of Lancang River Basin by YUAN Zeshen, CHEN Chenchen, LI Bogen, WANG Yuchun

“…Vegetation coverage plays an important role in soil and water conservation,atmosphere regulation,and maintenance of ecosystem stability,which influences regional hydrological and water-sediment processes and has important implications for hydropower development in the basin.This paper analyzes the spatial and temporal evolution mechanisms of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) in the study area from 1998 to 2018 using the Mann-Kendall model coupled with Sen's slope estimator,with the middle and lower reaches of the Lancang River Basin as the study area.The results reveal that ① the annual average NDVI in the study area from 1998 to 2018 is 0.81,and NDVI increases year by year from north to south on the whole;② NDVI in the study area shows an insignificant increasing trend from 1998 to 2018,with a growth rate of 5.8 × 10^-3/a;③ the sudden spatial changes in NDVI all occur in degraded areas.Against the background of increasing global warming and the frequent occurrence of extreme weather in the past two decades,the results of this study provide a scientific basis for future biodiversity conservation and ecological and environmental protection in the Lancang River Basin.…”

Matrix Stiffness Affects Spheroid Invasion, Collagen Remodeling, and Effective Reach of Stress into ECM by Klara Beslmüller, Rick Rodrigues de Mercado, Gijsje H. Koenderink, Erik H. J. Danen, Thomas Schmidt

“…We note that 4T1 breast cancer spheroids and SV80 fibroblast spheroids showed increased invasion—described by area, complexity, number of branches, and branch area—in a stiffer, cross-linked ECM. On the other hand, changing ECM stiffness only minimally changed the radial alignment of fibers but highly changed the amount of fibers. …”

Research on the Hydrological Regime of the Gaoyao Section in the Lower Reaches of Xijiang River by IHA/RVA Method by GAO Minhua

“…To comprehensively evaluate the changes in the hydrological regime of the Gaoyao section in the lower reaches of the Xijiang River,this study selected the daily average flow data of the Gaoyao Hydrological Station in the lower reaches of the Xijiang River for 1974—2018.The Mann-Kendall method,the Pettitt abrupt change test method,and the cumulative anomaly method were used to analyze the hydrological regime characteristics and abrupt hydrological change points of the Gaoyao section.The indicators of hydrologic alteration/range of variability approach (IHA/RVA) method was employed to comprehensively evaluate the alteration degree of the hydrological index at the Gaoyao Hydrological Station before and after the abrupt change.The results show that from 1974 to 2018,the comprehensive alteration degree of the flow at the Gaoyao Hydrological Station was 37%,and the alteration degree was thus a medium one.The flow generally decreases in the wet season and increases in the dry season.The research results can provide a reference for the proper development of water resources in the lower reaches of the Xijiang River.…”
