Qinling in Shaanxi Province is described and illustrated. Five species are included in the genus so far, e.g., G. seraphim, G. thespis, G. buddha, G. okamurai, G. pesthis. Information on distribution and host plants of the genus is summerized, together with the discussion of its systematic position.展开更多

Finally,verification was carried out on a simple curvature grid-type stiffened panel.The forming error of the panel formed with the optimal path is only 0.098 39 and the calculating efficiency has been improved by 77%.Therefore,this novel optimization method is quite efficient and indispensable for the press bend forming path designing.展开更多
