Results show that tip and margin leaf scorch was observed on many Kousa dogwood trees and clearly dark brown defense barrier appeared on scorched leaves. The defense barrier withdrew back from distal to proximal gradually until successful control of scorching, and left a series of unsuccessful defense traces. By responsive analysis of leaf color homogeneity with RGB image analysis method, a sharp logistic equation was obtained for the relative green/luminance (RGL) value of scorched leaves. By the meteorological analysis, the occurrence of dogwood leaf scorch-back was almost synchronous with the aridity peak period. It sug- gested that during the sudden aridity increment the extreme water stresses induce the defense response of Kousa dogwood tree to shear the excessive transpiration leaf area, and prevent the rest of the trees from further water loss. Image pixet analysis showed that 40.2% leaf area of sampled dogwood trees was reduced through the partial leaf scorch-back by the end of August in 2007. In contrast, only 13.2% leaf area was reduced from the same trees in 2008, for the reason of sufficient precipitation during first half year. In any case, the Kousa dogwood trees indeed reduced their transpiration surface area and appeared a surface reduction pattern differing from those shedding leaves or withering all the aboveground. Based on desiccation process analysis, it is considered that the interaction of the leaf dried back and the self-defense response was the key of the transpiration surface reduction (TSR) of Kousa dogwood during sudden hot and droughty stresses.展开更多

The energy consumption of the RFCC unit was gradually decreased to 2984.25 MJ/t from the original level of 3716.99 MJ/t. After comparing basic energy con- sumption values with actual consumption values, the authors have set forward measures for further energy conservation, such as the recovery of low-temperature excess heat contained in oil/gas streams exiting from the fractionation tower top, addition of the fourth cyclone, delivery of hot oil slurry, and heat tracing with hot water.展开更多

According to Collins formula, the tilt dependent error of the measurement system is studied, which uses Gaussian beam as the light source. By theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, the influence of the error is presented. The results show that there is the difference between point source and Gaussian beam for differential confocal microscopy. The opti-mal diameter of pinhole can be determined by the mathematical model and the actual parameters of the measurement system. The optimal pinhole diameter of this measurement system is 20 to 35 pm for 633 nm wavelength light source.展开更多

First, it aims to determine whether the previously proposed regulatory fit theory can be applied to public service advertisements with characteristics different from those of commercial advertisements. Second, it aims to understand how to design messages to achieve the best effect on audiences with different foci. This study takes the regulatory focus theory as the basis and green public service advertisements as the films. After adopting 2 ~ 2 ~ 2 three-factor design to test the interaction relations among the individual regulatory focus, message regulatory focus, and message framing. The results from the 217 college respondents indicate that the audience is influenced by regulatory focus when receiving messages from public service advertisements, which is similar to the influence of commercial advertisements. That is, when audience with a promotion focus, films with promotion focus and positive framing have a best advertisement effect. On the other hand, the audience with a prevention focus, films with prevention focus and negative framing also has a better advertisement effect.展开更多

Moscow City and Moscow Region (Moscow Oblast) are the parts of the Moscow Capital Region. According to the Constitution of Russia, adopted in December 1993, Moscow Region and Moscow City are two independent federal subjects of Russian Federation. The sustainable development of Moscow City and Moscow Region as an integrated regional economic and natural complex which plays the most important part in Russia's economy must be based on the integrated solution to the problems of environmental protection, social equity, and economic feasibility. The latest initiative of Russian Government concerns the creation of the Greater Moscow within the new borders of Moscow. Making the decision on the extension of the city limits and stimulation of the Moscow Agglomeration development provides the real way of resolution of the accumulated problems and provides enormous impetus to the sustainable development. The key task of the environmentally sound development of the Greater Moscow is to relieve the historical center of Moscow City; maintain the rational balance of built-up areas, natural and rural landscapes; ensure joint control of the urban development and economic activity; and create the favorable environment for the population.展开更多
