[Method] In residential regions, effects of temperature reduction by five varieties of greenbelts (megaphanerophyte, dungarunga, shrub, herbaceous plant and bare land) and changing rules with days under the same solar thermal radiation were researched. [Result] Greenbelts' temperature changed with intensity of solar thermal radiation, among which greenbelt of megaphanerophyte absorbed, transfered and reflected thermal radiation through crown canopy. Temperature of underlying surface was reduced accordingly, where correlation between underlying surface's temperature and solar thermal radiation (R) was 0.156 and the temperature declined by 1.9 ℃. In contrast, correlation of temperature of underlying surface (of lawn) with solar thermal radiation (R) was as high as 0.820, but the temperature only declined by 0.6℃. [Conclusion] The established linear relationship between crown's temperature and air temperature actually provides references for temperature measurement of greenbelts at scale.展开更多

Based on the updated Lagrangian formulation, the geometric nonlinear stiffness matrix of the three-node straight sliding cable dement is deduced. The examples about two-span and three-span continuous cable structures are studied to verify the effectiveness of the derived SCE. Comparing the cable tension of SCE with the existing research results, the calculating results show that the error is less than 1%. The sliding characteristics should be considered in practical engineering because of the obvious difference between the cable tension of the SCE and that of the cable element without considering sliding characteristics.展开更多

Combined with the observed daily minimum and maximum air temperatures at the same time of the 7 stations, the correlations of the 850 hPa temperature values at 8:00 and 20:00 with the daily maximum or minimum air temperature of the ground meteorological obser- vation stations were established, and the ground observation data in accordance with the relevant analysis and correlation test principle of the prediction equation for factor were primarily selected. Regression method was used to establish forecast e- quation dividing into counties, month by month. The results showed that the 850 hPa temperature values at 8:00 and 20:00 were significantly correlated with the daily maximum or minimum air temperature, and the established temperature fore- cast equation was of certain guiding significance for the forecast of daily minimum and maximum temperature, which could help to improve the forecast accuracy.展开更多

In the NTESSMDF, the primary robs were coupled to the main screen structure with ends embedded into the elastomers, and the secondary robs were attached to adjacent two primary robs with elastic bands. The dynamic model of vibrating screen with NTESSMDF was established based on Lagrange's equation and the equivalent stiffnesses of the elastomer and elastic band were calculated. According to numerical simulation using the 4th order Runge-Kutta method, the vibration intensity of screen surface can be enhanced substantially with an averaged acceleration amplitude increasing ratio of 72.36%. The primary robs and secondary robs vibrate inversely in steady state, which would result in the friability of materials and avoid stoppage. The experimental results validate the dynamic characteristics with acceleration amplitude rising by62.93% on average, which demonstrates the feasibility of NTESSMDF.展开更多

The development, planning, and implementation of such a programme are difficult due partly to the practical constraints related to the competitive schedule at the top level. The effective planning and organisation of training are therefore crucial to the effective delivery of the training stimulus for both individual players and the team. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the principles of training that can be used to prepare players for the physical demands of soccer. Information relating to periodisation is supported by an outline of the strategies used to deliver the acute training stress in a soccer environment. The importance of monitoring to support the planning process is also reviewed.展开更多

The RNG (Re-normalization group) k-ε model and a new method for cell face velocity interpolation based on a non-staggered grid system are employed. To avoid pseudo-diffusion that is significant in modeling tangentially fired furnaces, attempts are made at improving the differential volume scheme. Some new developments on turbulent diffusion of particles are also taken into account. Thus, computational accuracy is improved substantially.展开更多
