The self-organizing biological characteristics of vegetation and human activities lead to the disruption of the continuous spatial attributes of natural watersheds, which are significant factors affecting river wetland ecosystems. To clarify the landscape ecological flow characteristics of vegetation patch distribution and fragmentation, this study used the three-dimensional Reynolds stress turbulence model in ANSYS Fluent software. The model considered three vegetation patch coverages under two different submersion states and four fragmentation types of vegetation patches under the same coverage conditions within specific vegetation areas.

This study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of Chaiyin Granules compared with Oseltamivir Phosphate Capsules in the treatment of influenza(exogenous wind-heat syndrome). Based on a randomized, double-blind, positive drug parallel control clinical trial, this study evaluated the pharmacoeconomics of Chaiyin Granules with cost-effectiveness analysis method. A total of 116 patients with influenza from eight hospitals(grade Ⅱ level A above) in 6 cities were selected in this study, including 78 cases in the experimental group with Chaiyin Granules and Oseltamivir Phosphate Capsules placebo, and 38 cases in the control group with Oseltamivir Phosphate Capsules and Chaiyin Granules placebo.

To clarify the flow characteristics of open channels under the combined distribution of vegetation in a patch, this study used the computational fluid dynamics tool FLUENT and the Reynolds stress model to design four combined and four discrete distribution modes under two different inundation states (submerged and non-submerged). The flow characteristics of longitudinally discontinuous rigid vegetation patches occupying half the width of the channel were numerically simulated. The numerical model is verified by indoor open channel flume experiments, and the obtained model data is in good agreement with the measured data.

Vegetation is an important part of the natural environment and has resistance effects on overland runoff, which can effectively reduce hydraulic erosion. The effect of vegetation stem diameter and slope gradient on flow resistance is thus worthy of further study. The influence of three different slope gradients (s), three vegetation stem diameters (d) and 12 levels of unit discharge (q) on the flow resistance of a slope was simulated to systematically study the effect of vegetation stem diameter and slope gradient on overland runoff.

Article Synopsis
  • This article examines the structural changes in polysaccharides derived from Cynomorium songaricum after a process called selenylation, which involves the addition of selenium.
  • The polysaccharide was extracted, purified, and then treated with sodium selenite under specific conditions to modify its properties.
  • Post-modification, results indicated an increase in sugar content and molecular weight, while protein content decreased, with characterizations confirming selenium substitution and improved thermal stability.

In distribution hydrological models, precipitation is the key input data for analyzing and computing hydrological processes. Finding a way to produce distribution precipitation data is a hotspot in hydrological research. This paper presented the hypothesis that the distribution of precipitation on the earth surface is the result of the effects of atmosphere system and terrain.
