Dependence of attenuation in a vegetation canopy on frequency andplant water content

Theory is presented to provide insight into the observation that attenuation through vegetation is proportional to vegetation water content. In this analysis, the canopy is modeled as a sparse layer of randomly oriented particles (leaves, stalks, etc.) over a flat, homogeneous ground plane (soil) and an expression is obtained for the “optical depth”. The formulas developed by Ulaby and El Rayes are used to relate this expression to the water content of the canopy. In the low frequency extreme (Rayleigh scatterers), the attenuation varies almost linearly with water content and inversely with wavelength. In contrast, in the high frequency limit, the attenuation is independent of both water content and frequency, in between, geometry dependent “resonances” occur even at the low frequency end of the microwave spectrum (e.g. L-band) making the dependence of attenuation on frequency and water content specific to canopy architecture     

Multicenter study on the clinical value of fetal pulse oximetry. I. Methodologic evaluation. The French Study Group on Fetal Pulse Oximetry

OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to evaluate the feasibility of intrapartum fetal pulse oximetry, the distribution of fetal oxygen saturation values, and the relationship with the neonatal outcome in a population with an abnormal fetal heart rate. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective multicenter observational study was performed from June 1994 to November 1995. Fetal oxygen saturation was continuously recorded with use of a Nellcor N-400 fetal pulse oximeter in case of an abnormal fetal heart rate during labor. Simultaneous readings of fetal oxygen saturation and fetal blood analysis were obtained at inclusion and before birth. Feasibility, adverse effects, distribution of fetal oxygen saturation values, and relationship with neonatal outcome were assessed. RESULTS: One hundred seventy-four patients were included. From 172 attempted sensor placements, the procedure was impossible in three cases and fetal oxygen saturation values were obtained in 164 cases (95.3%). Physicians considered sensor placement an easier task than an attempt at fetal blood analysis (easy in 87.5% vs 78.9% for fetal blood analysis, p = 0.03). The mean reliable signal time (+/- SD) was 64.7% +/- 32% during the first stage. There were no serious adverse effects in the study population. The mean fetal oxygen saturation during the first stage of labor was 42.2% +/- 8.0% (10th to 90th percentile range 30% to 53%). Fetal oxygen saturation was significantly correlated with scalp pH (r = 0.29, p = 0.01) but not with neonatal umbilical artery pH or gas values. There was a significant association between low fetal oxygen saturation (< 30%) and poor neonatal condition. CONCLUSION: The feasibility of fetal pulse oximetry is satisfactory in clinical practice. It is easy to use and provides a fair rate of recorded values, even in a population with suspicion of fetal distress. A low fetal oxygen saturation is significantly associated with an abnormal neonatal outcome.

SPAC系统中水热CO2通量光合作用的综合模型（Ⅱ）：模型验证

本文利用禹城综合试验站土壤－植物－大气连续体系综合观测场冬小麦田实测资料，对“SPAC系统中水热、CO2通量与光合作用的综合模型（Ⅰ）模型建立”一文所建立的模型土壤水分动态、蒸发蒸腾和冠层CO2通量等功能进行了验证，利用波文比观测水汽通量结果、土壤水分剖面监测结果分别与对模拟计算腾发量和土壤水分剖面的验证结果表明，模拟计算的腾发量和土壤水分剖面是比较准确的；将模拟的光合作用过程中的CO2通量与实测值对比表明，模拟值与实测值的变化趋势是一致的，但是数据上存在一定的差异，模拟光合作用过程和强度符合一般规律，总体说明，所建立的系统模型在上述功能的模拟上是可行的。     

城市道路SMA面层配合比优化的影响因素及对策

以路用性能为控制指标，选择满足技术质量指标要求的原材料，对SMA改性沥青混合料的配合比设计进行优化，以期找到最佳路用性能和经济指标的SMA改性沥青混合料配合比的影响因素及对策。研究表明，对级配和体积指标等满足有关要求的特定原材料，其混合料最优路用性能只有在粗集料形成骨架嵌挤密实稳定，其空隙恰好被细集料等组成的胶结料所填充时，即VCADRC-VCAmix值趋向于0（＋）才充分体现出来；同时，在满足各项控制指标的前提下，可以通过适当增大2.36mm集料通过率来进一步提高混合料的抗车辙和稳定性能。

1 Introduction A double-walled invertube is difficult to fabricate other than applying inversion process. Such kind of invertube can be used as impact energy absorbing element in transport vehicles, like aircrafts and automobiles. Reddy T Y[1] did the analysis of Internal inversion and calculated the inversion load.
