Three-defense Line Coordination Strategy of the Guizhou Power Grid with the New Security Situation

In order to meet the requirements of Decree of the State Council of the People's Republic of China (No.599), this paper presents a three-defense line coordination strategy based on the Decree of the State Council (No.599). Taking the Guizhou power grid of 220 kV&500 kV as an example, the security and stability problem of the Guizhou power grid is analyzed. The strategy using three-defense line coordination for lowering the level of electricity safety accidents is researched. The analysis results show that the proposed coordination strategy is feasible, which can lower the level of electricity safety accidents under the same fault in same operation mode. Through studying the three-defense line of the Guizhou power grid, this paper presents a basic idea of the three-defense line coordination strategy based on the Decree of the State Council (No.599). The three-defense line coordination strategy provides reference for other provinces power grid.

Grid System Mapping of Ferula tadshikorum Pimenov (Apiaceae) Distributed in Uzbekistan

This article presents information on the distribution of Ferula tadshikorum Pimenov species in the botanical—geographical region of Uzbekistan, based on data collected from available resources, including international sites, and databases, completed papers and directly conducted field studies. At the same time, under the circumstance that the natural area is directly getting smaller, the necessity and relevance of the thesis work on the evaluation of species’ natural reserves and the evaluation of the modern situations are demonstrated through examples. The Surkhandarya region is considered to have the largest number of plant species in Uzbekistan, and it is also distinguished by the variety of species. According to the location of the botanical-geographical regions of Uzbekistan, the territory of the Surkhandarya region is divided into five botanical-geographical regions (BGR). The 5 × 5 km2 grid system map includes 882 cells. Surkhan-Sherabod (BGR), Baisun (BGR), Sangardak-Topalang (BGR), Babatag (BGR), and Kuhitang (BGR) corresponded to these. Simultaneously, the 5 × 5 km2 grid system map of Uzbekistan’s flora in the Surkhandarya region revealed the presence of F. tadshikorum in 109 indices. On the territory of the region, the botanic-geographic region mainly includes the F. tadshikorum, Babatag (BGR), Baisun (BGR), and Kohitang (BGR) indices. The natural resources of F. tadshikorum in these areas were also analyzed.

Under the Mask of Honours:How Athens Handled the Debt-Issue with the Bosporan Kings

In 347/6 BC,the Athenian demos published an honourific decree for the Bosporan kings Spartocus II and Paerisades I,as well as their brother Apollonius,when Athens was in deep financial difficulties due to struggles with her allies and Phillip IIl.This decree makes mention of the debt which the Athenian demos owed to the Bosporan kings.This article treats this inscription not as an honourific decree,but looks further by examining the bilateral agreement between the Athenian demos and the Bosporan kings reflected in the text.This agreement is examined with the interpretation that it is as a result of delicate communications between the author(ity)and the audience of this inscription.Therefore,this article will explore the financial and rhetoric strategies used by the Athenian demos to frame this decree in an attempt to discover how the Athenian demos dealt with the debt-issue under the mask of honours.

Spatial distribution and influencing factors of Surface Nibble Degree index in the severe gully erosion region of China’s Loess Plateau

In China’s Loess Plateau severe gully erosion(LPGE)region,the shoulder-line is the most intuitive and unique manifestation of the loess landform,which divides a landform into positive and negative terrains(PNTs).The spatial combination model of PNTs is of great significance for revealing the evolution of the loess landform.This study modeled and proposed the Surface Nibble Degree(SND),which is a new index that reflects the comparison of the areas of PNTs.Based on 5 m DEMs and matched high-resolution remote sensing images,the PNTs of 164 complete watersheds in the LPGE were extracted accurately,and the SND index was calculated.The spatial distribution trend of SND was discussed,and the relationship between SND and the factors that affect the evolution mechanism of regional landform was explored further.Results show that:(1)The SND can be calculated formally.It can quantify the development of the loess landform well.(2)The SND of the LPGE has evident spatial differentiation that increases from southwest to northeast.High values appear in Shenmu of Shaanxi,Shilou of Shanxi,and northern Yanhe River,whereas the low values are mainly distributed in the southern loess tableland and the inclined elongated ridge area of Pingliang in Gansu and Guyuan in Ningxia.(3)In the Wuding River and Yanhe River,the SND decreases with the increase in flow length(FL).In the North-Luohe River and Jinghe River,the SND increases with FL.(4)SND is significantly correlated with gully density and sediment modulus and moderately correlated with hypsometric integral.As for the mechanism factors analysis,the relationship between loess thickness and SND is not obvious,but SND increased first and then decreased with the increase of precipitation and vegetation in each geographical division,and we found that the land use type of low coverage grassland has greater erosion potential.

Predictive models for the assessment of bodily harm

The Spanish scale to quantify or qualify bodily harm resulting from any unintentional traffic accident prior to 1 January 2016 is established by Royal Legislative Decree(RDL)8/2004.This scale assigns points to the sequelae,which are converted into Euros using a table that is updated annually.The objective of this study is to develop a predictive model of sequelae points that will enable the estimation of compensation a short time after the accident.This will facilitate the calculation of the money reserve and rapid access to compensation for the injured party.To conduct this study,we developed a database with information from 999 individuals who had suffered car crash injuries which were evaluated according to the scale contained in RDL 8/2004 for medical experts.Predictive models based on logistic regression models were designed on this database.To choose the best model,we calculated Mallow’s Cp.The use of hurdle models made it possible to predict the points received by an injured party within a relatively short period of time after the accident.Once these points are known,it is a simple matter to calculate the corresponding compensation.The prediction models developed provide an easy way to predict the compensation to be awarded to the injured party.These models use days of hospitalization,sex,age and the results of international scales based on the Abbreviated Injury Scale.These variables can be used soon after the occurrence of the crash.

ENN Got Appraisal for UCG
