AIM：To assess peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer（RNFL）and choroidal thickness obtained with enhanced depth imaging（EDI）mode compared with those obtained without EDI mode using Heidelberg Spectralis optical coherence tomography（OCT）.METHODS：Fifty eyes of 25 normal healthy subjects and32 eyes of 20 patients with different eye diseases were included in the study.All subjects underwent 3.4 mm diameter peripapillary circular OCT scan centered on the optic disc using both the conventional and the EDI OCT protocols.The visualization of RNFL and choroidoscleral junction was assessed using an ordinal scoring scale.The paired t-test,intraclass correlation coefficient（ICC）,95%limits of agreement（LoA）,and Bland and Altman plots were used to test the agreement of measurements.RESULTS：The visibility score of RNFL obtained with and without EDI was of no significant difference（P=0.532）,the visualization of choroidoscleral junction was better using EDI protocol than conventional protocol（P〈0.001）.Peripapillary RNFL thickness obtained with EDI was slightly thicker than that obtained without EDI（103.25±9.42μm vs 101.87±8.78μm,P=0.010）.The ICC of the two protocols was excellent with the value of 0.867 to 0.924,the 95%LoA of global RNFL thickness was between-10.0 to 7.4μm.Peripapillary choroidal thickness obtained with EDI was slightly thinner than that obtained without EDI（147.23±51.04μm vs 150.90±51.84μm,P〈0.001）.The ICC was also excellent with the value of 0.960 to 0.987,the 95%LoA of global choroidal thickness was between-12.5 to 19.8μm.CONCLUSION：Peripapillary circular OCT scan with or without EDI mode shows comparable results in the measurement of peripapillary RNFL and choroidal thickness.

Effects of monsoon onset vortex on heat budget in the mixed layer of the Bay of Bengal

We investigated the effects of monsoon onset vortex(MOV)on the mixed layer heat budget in the Bay of Bengal(BOB)in spring 2003 using the reanalysis datasets.The results suggest that the solar radiation flux penetrating the mixed layer and the existence of barrier layer are both able to modulate the effects of MOV on the evolution of sea surface temperature(SST)in the BOB.Prior to the formation of BOB MOV,the local SST raised quickly due to mass of solar radiation reaching the sea surface under the clear-sky condition.Meanwhile,since the mixed layer was shallow before the onset of the Asian summer monsoon(ASM),some solar radiation flux could penetrate to directly heat the deeper water,which partly offset the warming effect of shortwave radiation.On the other hand,the in-situ SST started to cool due to the upwelling of cold water when the MOV generated over the BOB,along with the rapidly increased surface wind speed and its resultant deeper mixed layer.As the MOV developed and moved northward,the SST tended to decrease remarkably because of the strong upward surface latent heat flux over the BOB ascribed to the wind-evaporation mechanism.However,the MOV-related precipitation brought more fresh water into the upper ocean to produce a thicker barrier layer,whose thermal barrier effect damped the cooling effect of entrainment upwelling on the decrease tendency of the BOB SST.In other words,the thermal barrier effect could slow down the decreasing trend of the BOB SST even after the onset of ASM,which facilitated the further enhancement of the MOV.

Coupling of the Calculated Freezing and Thawing Front Parameterization in the Earth System Model CAS-ESM

The soil freezing and thawing process affects soil physical properties,such as heat conductivity,heat capacity,and hydraulic conductivity in frozen ground regions,and further affects the processes of soil energy,hydrology,and carbon and nitrogen cycles.In this study,the calculation of freezing and thawing front parameterization was implemented into the earth system model of the Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS-ESM)and its land component,the Common Land Model(CoLM),to investigate the dynamic change of freezing and thawing fronts and their effects.Our results showed that the developed models could reproduce the soil freezing and thawing process and the dynamic change of freezing and thawing fronts.The regionally averaged value of active layer thickness in the permafrost regions was 1.92 m,and the regionally averaged trend value was 0.35 cm yr–1.The regionally averaged value of maximum freezing depth in the seasonally frozen ground regions was 2.15 m,and the regionally averaged trend value was–0.48 cm yr–1.The active layer thickness increased while the maximum freezing depth decreased year by year.These results contribute to a better understanding of the freezing and thawing cycle process.

Changes in the depths of seasonal freezing and thawing and their effects on vegetation in the Three-River Headwater Region of the Tibetan Plateau

Frozen ground degradation plays an important role in vegetation growth and activity in high-altitude cold regions.This study estimated the spatiotemporal variations in the active layer thickness(ALT)of the permafrost region and the soil freeze depth(SFD)in the seasonally frozen ground region across the Three Rivers Source Region(TRSR)from 1980 to 2014 using the Stefan equation,and differentiated the effects of these variations on alpine vegetation in these two regions.The results showed that the average ALT from 1980 to 2014 increased by23.01 cm/10 a,while the average SFD decreased by 3.41 cm/10 a,and both changed intensively in the transitional zone between the seasonally frozen ground and permafrost.From 1982-2014,the increase in the normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI)and the advancement of the start of the vegetation growing season(SOS)in the seasonally frozen ground region(0.0078/10 a,1.83 d/10 a)were greater than those in the permafrost region(0.0057/10 a,0.39 d/10 a).The results of the correlation analysis indicated that increases in the ALT and decreases in the SFD in the TRSR could lead to increases in the NDVI and advancement of the SOS.Surface soil moisture played a critical role in vegetation growth in association with the increasing ALT and decreasing SFD.The NDVI for all vegetation types in the TRSR except for alpine vegetation showed an increasing trend that was significantly related to the SFD and ALT.During the study period,the general frozen ground conditions were favorable to vegetation growth,while the average contributions of ALT and SFD to the interannual variation in the NDVI were greater than that of precipitation but less than that of temperature.

Impact toughness of a gradient hardened layer of Cr5Mo1V steel treated by laser shock peening

Laser shock peening（LSP） is a widely used surface treatment technique that can effectively improve the fatigue life and impact toughness of metal parts.Cr5Mo1 V steel exhibits a gradient hardened layer after a LSP process.A new method is proposed to estimate the impact toughness that considers the changing mechanical properties in the gradient hardened layer.Assuming a linearly gradient distribution of impact toughness,the parameters controlling the impact toughness of the gradient hardened layer were given.The influence of laser power densities and the number of laser shots on the impact toughness were investigated.The impact toughness of the laser peened layer improves compared with an untreated specimen,and the impact toughness increases with the laser power densities and decreases with the number of laser shots.Through the fracture morphology analysis by a scanning electron microscope,we established that the Cr5Mo1 V steel was fractured by the cleavage fracture mechanism combined with a few dimples.The increase in the impact toughness of the material after LSP is observed because of the decreased dimension and increased fraction of the cleavage fracture in the gradient hardened layer.

考虑桩基极限沉降深度的荷载传递模型的研究

荷载传递法广泛运用于基桩承载力和沉降分析。通过理论公式推导,在传统模型上考虑桩径的影响,并引入沉降计算深度概念,建立考虑桩基极限沉降深度的荷载传递模型,以此分析分层厚度(k)和应力比(η)对沉降计算精度的影响。研究发现:当桩端下土层压缩模量变小时,需要采用更小的分层厚度;应力比的设定对极限沉降深度计算有着明显的影响,若在实际工程应用中主要关注点为桩顶沉降,则根据压缩层压缩模量选取合适的应力比参数,若关注点为极限沉降深度,则尽量减小应力比取值。

冻土变化对寒区基础建设、水文、生态等都有重要影响,在全球变暖背景下,探究土壤冻融过程具有重要现实意义。本文基于中国自然地理特征和冻土特性,划分出中国西部地区(以下简称西部地区)作为研究区域,并利用1981年1月至2020年6月ERA-5地表温度、土壤体积水含量和逐月气温数据,分析了近40年中国西部地区土壤冻融状况、活动层厚度和最大冻结深度空间分布,探讨了冻融状态与气温、海拔的相关性。研究结果表明:西部地区冻融起始时间空间分布具有由高海拔地区至低海拔地区冻结推迟、融化提前的特征。高海拔的藏北高原冻结最早,融化最晚,冻结持续时间最久昆仑山脉上零星区域冻结最长可持续300天以上。海拔低且土壤含水量低的西部西北塔里木盆地,冻结最晚,融化最早,融化持续时间最长,塔克拉玛干沙漠区域融化可维持在280天以上。多年冻土活动层厚度基本都超过2.0 m,只有喀喇昆仑山脉附近的区域才有较大范围活动层厚度低于2 m的区域,青藏高原的季节性冻土冻结深度最大,厚度可以达到2 m以上,塔里木盆地冻结深度最浅,厚度在0.6 m以内。1981-2020年间,西部地区冻结起始日推迟,融化起始日提前,开始冻结和完全冻结起始时间分别以0.089 d·a^(-1)和0.061 d·a^(-1)的速率上升。开始融化与完全融化起始时间分别以0.102 d·a^(-1)和0.156 d·a^(-1)的速率下降。在冻结趋势上升,融化趋势下降的情形下,完全融化持续时间以0.256 d·a^(-1)的速率增加了12天左右,完全冻结持续时间以0.164 d·a^(-1)的速率缩短约11天,研究期间,完全融化起始时间在1996年发生突变,开始冻结起始时间与完全融化持续时间在1997年发生突变。西部地区冻融起始时间整体变化趋势一致,局部地区略有差异,黄土高原开始冻结与完全冻结持续时间分别以0.166 d·a^(-1)和0.405 d·a^(-1)的速率下降最快。整个研究期间,开始冻结持续时间和完全冻结持续时间分别缩短7天和16天左右。4个区域的完全融化期持续时间趋势都呈上升趋势。但黄土高原完全融化持续时间以0.435 d·a^(-1)的速率快速上升,在1981-2020年间,增加约17天。西部地区冻融起始时间与年平均气温和海拔存在显著相关性,年平均气温与所有冻融时间的相关性均超过0.79,其中完全融化起始时间与年均气温的负相关高达0.963。气温每升高1.0℃,开始冻结起始时间推迟2.03天,完全冻结起始时间推迟2.12天,开始融化起始时间与完全融化起始时间分别提前5.10天和5.17天。海拔每升高1000 m,开始冻结与完全冻结起始日期分别提前6.1天和4.5天,开始融化与完全融化起始日期分别推迟14.4天和19.9天。本文研究结果揭示了中国西部土壤冻融状况及近年来的变化规律,为中国西部地区寒区生态环境和基础建设提供科学参考。

地铁盾构隧道双线施工对地表沉降影响的预测及分析

结合广州地铁12号线双线隧道工程,采用ABAQUS数值模拟方法,分析不同注浆层厚度、埋深比和隧道间距等因素对工程地质条件的影响,并提出相应施工控制措施。研究发现:注浆层厚度与地面沉降量成反比,0.3m为最佳注浆层厚度。地面侧向沉降量随埋深比的增大呈先增大后减小趋势,这与土的拱形作用有关。当2条并联巷道间距越大,左右巷道地面沉降越大;间距越小时,其相互作用越强,在共同受扰的范围内,沉降变形越大,沉降沟呈倒V形。当2条隧道间隔足够大时,2条隧道间的相互干涉作用被削弱,地面沉降变形被视为2条独立隧道沉降变形叠加,形成W形沉降沟。
