It is an issue that needs to be studied urgently by relevant experts and practitioners. Firstly, the standardization of the terminology system should absorb the latest theoretical results to synergize the development of its doctrinal system. Secondly, it should achieve the structured and logical expression of the terminology system to enhance the systematic and scientific nature of the economics of agriculture, rural areas and farmers. Thirdly, it should pay attention to the synergy between localized experience and international paradigm to satisfy the needs of the domestic economics academia while facilitating the sharing of Chinese experience in modernization. Finally, it should establish reasonable rules for Chinese naming and its English translation of terms to achieve precision in conceptual expression and effective conversion between different languages.展开更多

It is within this framework that the state and its partners have adopted strategies to promote irrigated production sites. This study was carried out on the Konni irrigated perimeter, the objective of which is to analyze the physical state of hydraulic infrastructures and their operation before the rehabilitation of the said perimeter. The methodology adopted consisted, first of all, of documentary research focused on data relating to this scope and our theme to properly guide the collection of data in the field. The field phase was then followed with an observation of hydraulic infrastructures one by one in order to assess their condition. Thus, the collected data was processed and analyzed. The results of this study show a notable deterioration of hydraulic infrastructure which affected the operating yield of the study area, with the development of barely 700 ha out of 1226 ha planned by the basic study for off-season production (57%). Bathymetric measurements showed that the volume of sediment that accumulated in the Zongo Dam is 1.2 million m3, which reduces its initial capacity from 12 million m3 to 10.8 million m3 after 43 years of service. The expansion joints of the feed canal are all in poor condition. 90% of the total length of the tertiary canals are degraded, 82.32% of the panels of the main canal C are degraded and 17.68% are cracked. All crossing structures are blocked between the RN1 and the Zongo dam. Based on this critical situation, it would be essential to consider rehabilitation work on all infrastructure in order to restore the hydraulic and even agronomic performance of the Konni irrigated area.展开更多

It has continued to be used ever since, though little is known about their levels in the maritime setting of Zanzibar. This paper details the occurrence and distribution of diuron around the coastline of Zanzibar Island. The reported concentrations of diuron in water ranged from Below Detection Limit to 1321.67 ± 52.3 ng/L at Bwawani. Majority of the sites showed levels above Environmental Risk Limit of 430 ng/L as proposed by the Dutch Authorities. The findings suggest the contamination is elevated especial in Harbor, Bwawani, Chapwani and even at Marine Protected Areas such Mnemba Island where the value of 620.33 ± 5.70 ng/L was recorded. The main possible sources of the contamination are cargo shipping, passenger speedboats, fishing, and tourism activities taking places in these areas. Therefore, future studies on the antifouling biocide diuron particularly on long term monitoring, chronic exposure, risk assessment, organisms’ responses and pollution models will add special value towards better understanding of the mechanisms and sustainable marine ecosystem health.展开更多

However, the absence of comprehensive reviews limits a systematic understanding of habitat quality. This study investigates habitat quality research in ecologically vulnerable regions of China, drawing data from Web of Science and Scopus. Using CiteSpace software analyzes trends in publication volume, geographic distribution, journal outlets, research disciplines, and keyword co-occurrence. The findings identify two distinct research phases: an initial exploratory stage and a period of steady growth, with the Loess Plateau emerging as a primary focal region. Key journals, such as Ecological Indicators and Acta Ecologica Sinica, dominate the field, reflecting contributions from disciplines including environmental science and ecology. Research hotspots center on trade-offs between habitat quality and ecosystem services, driving factors of change, landscape pattern optimization, and simulation techniques. Future research should prioritize addressing the spatial heterogeneity of vulnerable regions, advancing methodological approaches, and enhancing uncertainty analyses in model parameterization. This study provides a critical foundation for addressing key scientific challenges and guiding future research, with implications for ecological security and sustainable development.展开更多

The result of a calibrated commercial AFM measurement demonstrates that the pitch standard is (212.8±0.1) nm with a peak-to-valley-height (PTVH) better than 20 nm. The measurement results show the high period accuracy of traceability with the standing laser wavelength (λ/2 = 212.78 nm). The Cr nano-grating covers a 1000μm×500 μm area, with a PTVH better than 10 nm. The feature width broadening of the Cr nanostructure has been experimentally observed along the direction of the standing waves. The PTVH along the Gaussian laser direction is similar to a Gaussian distribution. Highly uniform periodic nanostructures with a big area at the millimeter scale, and the surface growth uniformity of the Cr nano-grating, show its great potential in the application of a traceable pitch standard at trans-scales.展开更多

文摘Orbital disorders include conditions originating from the orbital bones,surrounding tissues,and post-orbital septum.They also include systemic ailments affecting the orbit.Different clinical symptoms make up the complex range of orbital disorders.Because these disorders mostly impact the orbital area instead of the intraocular compartment,there is little diagnostic usefulness for typical ophthalmic visual tests.As such,the vital instruments for diagnosing and evaluating orbital illnesses have become ophthalmic imaging modalities,including ocular ultrasonography(B-scan),computed tomography(CT),and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).One way to improve the precision and promptness of diagnosing orbital diseases is to standardize the functioning of widely used imaging equipment and define the radiological features of orbital abnormalities.Such programs are crucial for the care of patients with orbital disorders since they considerably reduce the number of misdiagnoses and missed diagnoses in these individuals.The underlying concepts,operational techniques,and normal and pathological imaging findings associated with common diagnostic tools for orbital illnesses are all thoroughly reviewed in this guideline.The objective is to improve primary healthcare settings’diagnostic competence in the field of orbital pathology and to standardize procedures for diagnosing orbital disorders.
文摘Objective:To enhance the reading skills of clinical pathology residents,it is essential to establish a well-structured electronic pathology reading library.Methods:In accordance with the Resident Standardization Training Content and Standards(2022 Edition),clinical pathology residents are required to master pathological diagnoses across 11 systems:skin,head and neck,mediastinum and respiratory,digestive,urinary and male reproductive,female reproductive and breast,lymphatic and hematopoietic,bone and soft tissue,cardiovascular,central nervous,and endocrine diseases.Senior pathologists specializing in each subspecialty selected classic pathological slides,which were systematically scanned and compiled into an electronic pathology library.Results:A questionnaire survey was conducted to gather feedback on the electronic pathology reading library.Residents generally found it to be convenient,efficient,and conducive to learning.Conclusion:Training in clinical pathology diagnosis is a core component of standardized resident training.The electronic pathology reading library has been well-received and recognized by resident doctors.However,further efforts are needed to explore diverse teaching methods that align with modern educational approaches,ultimately contributing to the development of highly skilled resident doctors.

文摘AIM:To elucidate the neuropathological mechanisms underlying diabetic vitreous hemorrhage(DVH)and its correlation with clinical characteristics.METHODS:Twenty-one individuals with DVH(male/female 12/9;mean age 52.29±11.66y)were selected,alongside 21 appropriately matched controls with diabetes mellitus(DM).Voxel-based morphometry(VBM)techniques were employed to identify aberrant functional regions in the brain.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were utilized for classification based on the average VBM values of the two groups,and Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to assess the relationship between average VBM values in distinct brain regions and clinical manifestations.RESULTS:Relative to the DM controls,DVH patients exhibited reduced VBM values in the right superior temporal pole,the right superior temporal gyrus,the right medial orbital frontal gyrus,and the left superior frontal gyrus.Furthermore,ROC curve analysis of these four brain regions in DVH patients demonstrated a high degree of accuracy,as indicated by the area under the curve.The average VBM value in each of these regions exhibited a negative correlation with both the duration of DVH and the score on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(HADS).CONCLUSION:Pathological alterations in four distinct brain regions are observed in patients with DVH,potentially reflecting neuropathological changes associated with this condition.

文摘Based on the survey data of nine primitive broad-leaved Korean pine forest plots ranging from 1 to 10.4 ha in Heilongjiang Province,this study used the moving window method and GIS technology to analyze the variation characteristics of the spatial distribution pattern of forest biomass in each plot.We explored the minimum area that can reflect the structural and functional characteristics of the primitive broad-leaved Korean pine forest,and used computer simulation random sampling method to verify the accuracy of the minimum area.The results showed that:(1)Through the analysis of the spatial distribution raster map of biomass deviation in the plots at various scales of 10−100 m,there is a minimum area(0.64 ha)for the critical range of biomass density variation in the primitive broad-leaved Korean pine forest.This minimum area based on biomass density can indirectly reflect the comprehensive characteristics of productivity level per unit area,structure,function,and environmental quality of the primitive broad-leaved Korean pine forest community.(2)Using computer simulation random sampling,it was found that only by sampling in a specific plot larger than or equal to the minimum area can equivalent or similar results be achieved as random sampling within the plot,indicating that the minimum area determined by the moving window method is accurate.(3)The minimum area determined in this paper is an excellent indicator reflecting the complexity of community structure,which can be used for comparing changes in community structure and function before and after external disturbances,and has a good evaluation effect.This minimum area can also be used as a basis for scientific and reasonable setting of plot size in the investigation and monitoring work of broad-leaved Korean pine forests in this region,thereby achieving the goals of improving work efficiency and saving work costs.

文摘Investigating the ecological impact of land use change in the context of the construction of national water network project is crucial,as it is imperative for achieving the sustainable development goals of the national water network and guaranteeing regional ecological stability.Using the Danjiangkou Reservoir Area(DRA),China as the study area,this paper first examined the spatiotemporal dynamics of natural landscape patterns and ecosystem service values(ESV)in the DRA from 2000 to 2018 and then investigated the spatial clustering characteristics of the ESV using spatial statistical analysis tools.Finally,the patch-generating land use simulation(PLUS)model was used to simulate the natural landscape and future changes in the ESV of the DRA from 2018 to 2028 under four different development scenarios:business as usual(BAU),economic development(ED),ecological protection(EP),and shoreline protection(SP).The results show that:during 2000-2018,the construction of water facilities had a significant impact on regional land use/land cover(LULC)change,with a 24830 ha increase in watershed area.ESV exhibited an increasing trend,with a significant and growing spatial clustering effect.The transformation of farmland to water bodies led to accelerated ESV growth,while the transformation of forest land to farmland led to a decrease in the ESV.Normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI)had the strongest effect on the ESV.ESV exhibited a continuous increase from 2018 to 2028 under all the simulation scenarios.The EP scenario had the greatest increase in ESV,while the ED scenario had the smallest increase.The findings suggest that projected land use patterns under different scenarios have varied impacts on ecosystem services(ESs)and that the management and planning of the DRA should balance social,economic,ecological,and security benefits.nomic,ecological,and security benefits.

文摘Atom lithography with chromium can be utilized to fabricate a pitch standard, which is chrectly traceable to me wavelength of the laser standing waves. The result of a calibrated commercial AFM measurement demonstrates that the pitch standard is (212.8±0.1) nm with a peak-to-valley-height (PTVH) better than 20 nm. The measurement results show the high period accuracy of traceability with the standing laser wavelength (λ/2 = 212.78 nm). The Cr nano-grating covers a 1000μm×500 μm area, with a PTVH better than 10 nm. The feature width broadening of the Cr nanostructure has been experimentally observed along the direction of the standing waves. The PTVH along the Gaussian laser direction is similar to a Gaussian distribution. Highly uniform periodic nanostructures with a big area at the millimeter scale, and the surface growth uniformity of the Cr nano-grating, show its great potential in the application of a traceable pitch standard at trans-scales.
