For example, visual perception is always the priority for outdoor landscapes, and sandpit and children＇s slide are always devices for attracting children. The research analyzed the role of regional characteristics in designing kindergarten landscapes and proposed that the regional elements should be taken into consideration, providing references for characteristic designs of kindergarten landscape.展开更多

During these 48 years four high frequency centers of cold surge events were located in Xinjiang, central North China, northeast China, and southeast China. A main frequency peak of cold surge events occurs in autumn for the four regions and another peak is detected in spring over northeast China and southeast China. The regional pattern of cold surge frequencies is in accordance with the perturbation kinetic energy distribution in October December, January, and February April. The long-term decreasing trend ( 0.2 times/decade) of cold surge frequencies in northeast China and decadal variations in China are related to the variations of the temperature difference between southern and northern China in the winter monsoon season; these variations are due to the significant rising of winter temperatures in high latitudes.展开更多

A set of blade shapes with a certain deviation of chord distribution from the initial geometry was investigated for WindPACT 1.5 MW turbine. The results showed that the original blade geometry can be improved based on individual site wind characteristics, giving better aerodynamic efficiency and reduced cost.展开更多

Moreover, the correlations between the analysed parameters were studied. Overall, the results showed that all the honey samples presented high total phenolic and flavonoid contents （12.23 mg gallic acid equivalent/lOOg honey and 8.16 mg quercetin equivalent/lOOg honey, respectively）, and a high antioxidant activity （59.17%, 66.50% and 349.11 11M Fe （II） for ABTS, DPPH and FRAP assays, respectively）, but those results differ widely according to the honey types, suggesting that honey composition has been influenced by its floral and geographical origin. In particular, the darkest honeys, such as chestnut honey （L ＊ = 59.94; 1.26 AU）, showed the highest polyphenol content and the highest antioxidant activity. Honeys from the areas with major anthropogenic activities and high population density presented the highest antioxidant activity. Correlations between the analysed parameters were statistically significant （P 〈 0.05）, suggesting that the polyphenol content is correlated with the antioxidant activity and colour of honey.展开更多
