Spatiotemporal Analysis of High-Quality Development and Coordination in Cities Along the Lower Yellow River by Ge Zhai, Maoxin Zhang, Tingting He, Peng Ren

“…The results show the following: (1) The HQD of the study area shows a trend of decreasing and then increasing during 2000–2020 and reaches its highest level at the end. HQD shows a spatial trend of decreasing from south to north and from east to west. (2) The overall agricultural function of the study area declined slightly; the ecological function declined first and then increased, with the highest value occurring in 2000; and the urban function increased steadily and improved significantly after 2015. (3) DCs under different administrative levels are polarised, with high-level DCs exhibiting a spatial leader effect. (4) Urban development preferences in the study area are divergent, and the functional type with the highest share under different administrative scales is agro-ecological, which is mainly influenced by differences in natural base. …”

Three-dimensional creep constitutive model of sandstone based on damage statistics by Wang Liukai, Cai Guojun, Zhao Weiping, Hu Xing

“…MethodsThe Nishihara model in the classical elastoplastic model was selected and the damage was introduced to make up for the shortcomings that it could not reveal the nonlinear creep characteristics of the rock, and the Weibull distribution function was used as the damage statistical function, and the SMP criterion was used as the strength criterion of sandstone to deduce the damage variables under three-dimensional conditions. …”

Reversible Carnot and Philips heat engines with a real gas as a working body by V. G. Kiselev

“…In the case of using real gas as a working fluid, the efficiency of a heat engine, in addition to dependence on the temperatures of hot and cold tanks, is a function of the thermodynamic characteristics of the working fluid and the type of heat engine, and reaches its maximum value for this type of working fluid and engine type if there is reversibility the system under consideration».…”

Leverage point themes within Dutch municipalities' healthy weight approaches: A qualitative study from a systems perspective. by Maud J J Ter Bogt, Kirsten E Bevelander, Lisa Tholen, Gerard R M Molleman, Maria van den Muijsenbergh, Gerdine A J Fransen

“…Such an approach has four interconnected system levels: events, structures, goals, and beliefs, in which small changes ('leverage points') can lead to substantial changes in the functioning of the entire system. The current research examined the functioning of five Dutch municipalities' healthy weight approaches (HWAs) and the leverage point themes that can be identified in their system.…”
