At the beginning of 2020, the global outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 posed a huge challenge to the governance capabilities of public health in various countries. In this paper, the SEIR model is used to fit the number of confirmed cases in each province in China, and the reduction rate of the basic reproduction number is used to measure the actual score of the control effect of COVID-19. The potential capacity of prevention and control of epidemics, in theory, is constructed, and we use the difference between theoretical ability and actual score to measure the ability of governance of public health. We found that there were significant differences between actual effect and theoretical ability in various regions, and governance capabilities were an important reason leading to this difference, which was not consistent with the level of economic development. The balance of multiple objectives, the guiding ideology of emphasizing medical treatment over prevention, the fragmentation of the public health system, and the insufficiency of prevention and control ability in primary public health systems seriously affected the government’s ability to respond to public health emergencies.
The correlation for different vibration modes widely consists in low-frequency vibration of submerged structures.Based on finite element-boundary element theory,a dynamic submarine model and a numerical solution method have been established in this paper.The influences by interbedded and out added water,big machine bases,deck and equipments on low frequency total vibration modes were discussed.Then the correlation between low frequency total flexural vibration modes(transverse and vertical)and longitudinal vibration modes of a vessel by lengthways inspiriting is illustrated.At the same time,the acoustic radiation characteristics were calculated.The results show that there is a strong correlation at low frequency by lengthways inspiriting.The conclusions given are favorable for submerged vessel acoustic design.
Tunnel water inrush is complex, fuzzy, and random, and it is affected by many factors, such as hydrology, geology, and construction. However, few papers have considered the impact of dynamic monitoring on water inrush in previous research. In this study, considering geological, hydrological, and construction factors, as well as dynamic monitoring, a new multi-index evaluation method is proposed to analyze the risk of tunnel water inrush based on the normal cloud model. A new weight algorithm combining analytic hierarchy process and entropy method is used to calculate the index weight. The certainty degree of each evaluation index belonging to the corresponding cloud can be obtained by the cloud model theory. The final level of tunnel water inrush is determined via the synthetic certainty degree. The proposed method is applied to analyze the risk of water inrush in the SS (Shuang-san) tunnel constructed by a tunnel boring machine in the arid area of Northwest China. The evaluation results are not only basically identical to the results calculated by the ideal point and gray relation projection methods, but also agree well with the actual excavation results. This demonstrates that this new risk assessment method of water inrush has high accuracy and feasibility. Simultaneously, it also provides a new research idea to analyze the probability of tunnel water inrush and can provide a reference for related projects.
In order to evaluate the structural vibration and the acoustic radiation of underwater complicated shell structure with multiple excitations,a complicated multiple compartment shell structure,similar to real ships,is designed and the underwater vibration and acoustic radiation experiments with single and multiple excitations are implemented. The experimental results show that sound pressure caused by multiple excitations can be approximated as the incoherent superposition of those caused by each excitation separately.The transfer relations between the vibro-acoustical characteristics of the structures and the excitations are deduced analytically.The rationality and the error of the incoherent superposition are analyzed as well.It is indicated the incoherent superposition method can be used to calculate the vibration and sound radiation of the complicated shell structure with multiple excitations,and it has important significance to predict the real vibration response and acoustic field.
A protective layer (PL) is commonly reserved above foundation surface to protect the underlying rock mass during dam foundation excavation. In China, the PL of dam foundation is conventionally subdivided into two or three thin layers and excavated with the shallow-hole blasting method, even by pneumatic pick method in case of soft rock mass. The aforementioned layered excavation of the PL delays the construction of the whole project. After nearly 30-year practices, several safe and efficient methods for the PL excavation of dam foundation are gradually developed. They include shallow-hole bench blasting with cushion material (SBC) at the bottom of the hole, and horizontal smooth blasting (HSB). The PL is even cancelled on the condition that horizontal pre-split technique is employed during dam foundation excavation. This paper introduces the aforementioned two PL excavation methods (shallow-hole blasting and bench blasting) and horizontal pre-split technique of dam foundation without protective layer (HPP). The basic principles of blasting method, blasting geometry, charge structure, drill-and-blast parameters of typical projects are examined. Meanwhile, the merits and limitations of each method are compared. Engineering practices in China show that HSB is basically the optimal method for dam foundation PL excavation in terms of foundation damage control and rapid construction. Some new problems for dam foundation PL excavation arising, such as strong unloading and relaxation phenomenon that encountered in the gorge region of southwest China, are needed to be addressed; and the corresponding countermeasures are discussed as well.
This study introduces a multi-source data fusion model of the tropospheric delay over China and uses GNSS data, meteorological data, and Global Pressure and Temperature 2 wet (GPT2w) model data to derive the model coefficients. Fifty-one nationwide GNSS stations were selected to evaluate the accuracy of the fusion model through a detailed analysis of the model performance based on factors including the overall accuracy, seasonal accuracy, and impact of the station location. The results show that the multi-source data fusion model integrates the advantages of various individual models and thus has a higher accuracy and stability despite the occurrence of a certain degree of decline in accuracy in the individual models under certain conditions. A comparison with previous models developed using only GNSS data demonstrates that this fusion model improves the overall accuracy by 17.7%.
