Systems research helping to meet the needs and managing the trade-offs of a changing world

Facing the challenges of an increasing world population, a changing climate and ever depleting resources, agricultural intensification （Keating et al. 2010） is one of the few options for meeting the demand of food security. It is necessary to apply a dynamic and systematic approach to effectively man- age the complex agri-eco production and green processing systems. Indeed, farming systems approach for appropriate technology development and simulation modeling is a result of adopting the system thinking by the agricultural research community （Norman et al. 1995）.

Restoring environmental flows and improving riparian ecosystem of Tarim River

Rapid population growth and artificial oasis enlargement did pose great threat to the natural riparian ecosystems of Tarim River and caused seriously ecological deterioration and greater desertification of the Tarim River Basin in the second half of 20 century. Restoration of the endangered riparian ecosystem requires that environmental flow should be restored through restricted and uncontrolled flow diversion irrigation in tributary areas. Implementation of such restriction needs further the basin-wide reallocation of water resources through a set of engineering and non-engineering measures taken to ensure the water requirement in the tributary and maintain effective flows in Tarim River. As one of evolving HELP (Hydrology for Environment, Life and Policy) basins, the article first presents an overview of hydrology, socio-economic development and ecosystem evolution of the Tarim River Basin. Then, those measures for restoring and maintaining environmental flow are reviewed and analyzed along with its applicability and validity. The issues emerging in implementing those measures are also explored, and then the conclusions were summarized. Lessons learned could provide a good example for other basins under similar conditions.

Exercise facilitates memory:Implications for helping youngsters learn in school

Up to this day I still can vividly remember a routine in my elementary school:the daily school-wide morning calisthenics. It started at about 7:45 am in the school courtyard.Our physical education teacher stood on the concrete stage where our principal would give her talk at school assemblies.All children and teachers would follow the teacher’s lead to do the eight-segment national calisthenics in unison with loud music from loudspeakers affixed on trees around the courtyard.When I visited the school last May,I saw that students still performed the routine faithfully but with a different set of

BIG LOOP PROMINENCE SYSTEM AT THE WEST LIMB OF SOLAR DISK ON THE DAYS 15 TO 17, AUG.IN 1989

Using the 18 cm Hα-Photoheliograph at Yunnan Observatory,we obtained theAR5629(S17,L75)data.The AR existed at the southern hemisphere of solar disk duringthe days from Aug.4 to 16.Except Aug.16th when the AR partly moved away from thedisk,sunspot group type was HRX,the AR kept its complex type in McIntoshclassfication on the other 12 days and there were 8 days,spot group areas over 1。

Utilizing Colored Pheromones and Helping Ants for Wireless Mesh Networks Routing

Improving routing algorithm performance not only leads to appreciate the quality of data transmission, but also increases the speed of data transfer. In this paper we propose a hybrid method which is a combination of traffic classification by the help of colored pheromones and helping ants method in the intermediate nodes. This combination increases the convergence speed and decreases the delay and Jitter in the network. Also we compare the obtained results with two known routing algorithms that are based on the ant colony.

An Agent-Based Web-Services Monitoring System

An enterprise based on web services can benefit from computer-based monitoring for its normal course of business. No services, delayed services, inadequate services and poor or delayed information flow all hinder or prevent the normal course of business. The health of the service-oriented approach, the communication flow and the services themselves directly equate to the health and vitality of the enterprise. By health we mean, availability, performance, integrity, and reliability of web services. This paper proposes and details an agent based approach for web service monitoring in an enterprise environment. The objective of this approach is to provide enhanced security, improved help desk information and attribution across a diverse web services landscape that is logically a system but physically distributed. The definition of the agents, their logical locations, their functionality and relationships has not been described previously. This architecture provides many advantages over previous methodologies for event monitoring including assignment of overlapping responsibilities, reduction in help desk effort and placement of measurements throughout the upper layers of the web services system. This is also the first enumeration of significant events and information requirements at the service level. It also assigns responsibility to the components （agents, handlers or the service itself） for logging and alerting such events. This architecture is currently being implemented by a major defense entity.

Helping Hands

A potato farmer was sent to prison just at the timewhen he should have been digging the ground for plantingthe new crop of potatoes. He knew that his wife wouldnot be strong enough to do the digging by herself, butthat she could manage to do the pianting; and he alsoknew that he did not have any friends or neighbours whowould be willing to do the digging for him. So he

Message Cab (MCab): Partition Restoration in MANETs Using Flexible Helping Hosts

Helping hosts are intensively used in various schemes to restore partitioned Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs).Most of the existing schemes offers only deterministic deployment and fixed routes for the helping hosts, and are thus not able to deal with fluctuating network traffic, which is a practical condition in many MANET applications. In this paper, we argue that flexible helping hosts (referred to as Message Cabs (MCabs)), with deployment and routes that response to the changes in the traffic demand of the network, may overcome this drawback and reduce the message delay in the networks. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this observation, we propose a new helping host scheme namely the Message Cab (MCab) scheme for partition restoration in MANETs, and validate the performance through simulations.

The electric scheme option for Three Gorges Hydropower Station and the System

EDlTOR’S NOTE: We had published an article on Vol.1, No.1 of this Journal entitled "A study on the schemes of power trons-mission from Three Gorges Project to East China", in which various possible options were discussed from the researcher’s point of view.This paper we present here discusses the same problem but from the planner/designer’s point of view. These different viewpoints aresurely helpful to the final decision of the huge project. We expect some further discussions on this problem to be published on ourJournal.

基于HELP模式的集束化干预策略在老年髋部骨折术后谵妄护理中的应用

目的探讨基于医院老年生活计划(the hospital elder life program,HELP)模式的集束化干预策略对老年髋部骨折患者术后谵妄的预防及护理效果。方法选取2019年9月至2022年6月住院并手术的老年髋部骨折患者167例,用数字表法随机分为对照组87例和观察组80例,分别收住A病区和B病区。其中对照组患者给予骨折围手术期常规护理,观察组在常规护理基础上,增加基于HELP模式的集束化干预方案进行谵妄的预防及护理。结果观察组患者谵妄发生率(8.75%)低于对照组(20.69%),谵妄持续时间(3.36±0.56)d短于对照组(4.25±1.03)d,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05);观察组患者术后3 d内疼痛评分、术后40项恢复质量评分、住院费用、出院时患者满意度调查评分均优于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),但两组患者术后重度疼痛发生情况比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论基于HELP模式的集束化干预策略应用于老年髋部骨折术后谵妄护理,能有效地降低了患者术后谵妄的发生率,最大程度提高患者术后恢复质量,提高患者满意度。
