This study focuses on the second decadal leading mode(2DLM), accounting for 17.3% of rainfall decadal variance, as distinct from the other two neighboring modes of EAMR, based on the state-of-the-art in-situ rainfall data.This mode is characterized by a South-China-wet–HuaiheRiver-dry pattern, and is dominated by a quasi-30-yr period. Further analysis reveals the 2DLM corresponds to an enhanced lower-level monsoon jet, an eastward extension of the western North Pacific subtropical high, and a weakened East Asian upper-level westerly jet flow. The Tibetan Plateau surface temperature and Pacific Decadal Oscillation(PDO) are closely linked with the 2DLM. The regressed SST pattern indicates the PDO-like pattern of sea surface temperature anomalies may have a teleconnection relationship with the 2DLM of EASR.展开更多

Different typical shear failure behaviors have been found in the loading curves (shear force vs displacement). From the results of interracial morphology analysis of the fracture surfaces and cross-sections, two main typical failure modes have been identified. The probabilities of the failure modes occurrence are inconsistent when the joints were aged for different times. The evolution of the brittle NiaSn4 and Cu-Ni-Au-Sn layers and the grains coarsening of the solder bulk are the basic reasons for the change of shear failure modes.展开更多

Characteristics of agricultural technology innovation are introduced,such as obvious regionality,relatively high risk,long-term periodicity and public attribute. Predicament for technology innovation of leading enterprises is analyzed,such as technical constraints,financial constraints and personnel constraints. Technological Innovation Mode can be classified into three modes of independent innovation,imitative innovation and cooperative innovation by the method of technology innovation. Among them,since there are some defects in the technology innovation process,independent innovation and imitative innovation are generally not used for the innovation of agricultural enterprises. Cooperative Innovation Mode can rely on foreign aid,can realize complementary advantages and achievement sharing,and can be widely applied in the agricultural innovation enterprise. Virtual organization in cooperation innovation mode is described,which makes up for technology,capital and human resources barriers in the process of agricultural enterprise innovation. Therefore,this mode is popular among the agricultural innovation enterprise.展开更多

This reverse relationship of the rainfalls to the north and to the south of the Yangtze River was related with the meridional circulations within East Asia and the neighboring region, excited by SST in the South China Sea-northwestern Pacific. When the SST was warmer, the geopotential heights at 500 hPa were positive in the low and high latitudes and negative in the middle latitudes. The anticyclone in the low latitudes favored the subtropical high over the northwestern Pacific (SHNP) shifting southwestward, leading to additional moisture transport over southern China. The anomalous atmospheric circulations along the East Asian coast tends to enhance upward movement over the region. Subsequently, rainfall in southern China is enhanced.展开更多

The improved synthetic technique used in this paper could obtain nanocrystals with apparently promoted synthetic speed from a few days to several hours (4 times faster of hydrolytic process than that of traditional sol-gel method and reduced preparation period of gel from 24 h to several hours) at relatively lower temperature by hydrolysis of sol to gel through adding methyl alcohol/water solution into sol under vigorous stirring and annealed the fresh gel directly. The effects of lanthanum′s amount, annealed temperature and nanocrystals′ grain size of Pb_ 0.9La_ 0.1Ti_ 0.975O_3 nanocrystals on frequency, shape and width of the phonon peak were also discussed in detail.展开更多
