The UEC-SD model is applied to analyse the effect of the ar- banisation process on the regional energy structure and CO2 emissions, followed by simulation of future production and living energy consumption structure as well as the evolutionary trend of CO2 emissions of three urbanisation scenarios （low speed, intermediate speed and high speed） under the assumed boundary conditions in urban and rural areas of Liaoning Province, China. The results show that the urbanisation process can alter production and the living energy consumption structure and thereby change regional CO2 emissions. An increase in the urbanisation rate in case area will lead to regional COz emissions rising in the short term, but when the urbanisation rate approaches 80%, CO2 emissions will reach a peak value and then decrease. Comparison of different urbanisation rates showed that pro- duction and living energy consumption exhibit different directions of change and rules in urban and rural areas. The effect of urbanisa- tion on CO2 emissions and energy structure is not direct, and urbanisation can increase the differences in energy and CO2 emissions between urban and rural areas caused by the industrial structure, technical level and other factors.展开更多

Of the 27 models used, 18 show better skill in simulating the climatological summer WVT over East Asia of the present day. Of those 18, 13 reach 1.5°C and 2.0°C GW for the two RCPs. Based on these 13 models, results show that — relative to the present day-th e summer WVT is enhanced over East Asia under 1.5°C and 2.0°C GW for RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. The inte r-model consistency is higher under 2.0°C GW. Increased water vapor content favors the enhanced WVT over both southern and northern East Asia, while lower-level circulation contributes to the enhanced WVT over southern East Asia. Compared to 1.5°C GW, th e summer WVT under 2.0°C GW is further enhanced over most of East Asia for RCP4.5. For RCP8.5, the summer WVT is also further enhanced over southern East Asia, while this is not the case over northern East Asia. Under the additional 0.5°C GW, the changes in summer WVT, with low in ter-model consistency, are closely related to anomalous lower-level circulation. Precipitation increases over the East China Sea to southern Japan, the Korean Peninsula, and North China, for both RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. However, the changes in precipitation over the South China Sea and Northeast China are different for the two RCPs. This is connected to the difference in the changes of WVT divergence.展开更多

The sAAA refers to a number sAAA （symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm） treatment in the of symptoms associated with aneurysm. EVAR （endovascular aortic repair） is increasingly used as an alternative to an open method that cmTies a number of advantages. Between January 2016 and February 2017, eight patients were admitted to the University Hospital Centre Split due to sAAA, following clinical and diagnostic treatment by a team of vascular surgeons and emergency radiologists, and ultimately treated with EVAR. Two patients had femoral endarterectomy. One patient had fistula of the right external iliac artery with left common iliac vein. After EVAR with embolization of the right internal iliac artery, the fistula was resolved. Also, one patient had occluded left external iliac artery and femoral-femoral bypass graft was made. After the procedure, two patients had endoleak of type II. Perioperative mortality was zero. On control examinations, all patients were with good general condition and without complications. A prompt diagnosis of sAAA and good team working will result of emergency endovascular procedure and resolve the risk for abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture.展开更多
