Authors: Hongbing Wang , Jing Gao , Bohan Kang , Peng Lyu , Yuxian Shi
Published: July 2022

With the gradual development of artificial intelligence (AI), the traditional production, marketing, and management methods for agricultural products have undergone dramatic changes, necessitating a greater optimization of these methods. Agricultural product operators have begun incorporating AI technology into product production, marketing, and distribution processes. This article examines the current state of agricultural product management and then investigates the integration of production, marketing, and distribution using artificial intelligence. In addition, given the limitations of conventional methods for classifying agricultural products, this article presents a classification model that combines factor analysis with an enhanced support vector machine (SVM) based on genetic algorithms (GAs). The results of the experiments indicate that the improved method is capable of distinguishing agricultural product quality categories rapidly and precisely, significantly improving the classification accuracy of agricultural product quality, and being broadly applicable to the evaluation of agricultural product quality.

Published: July 2022

We report a case of a 57-year-old woman with a history of multiple myeloma (MM) and light chain (AL) amyloidosis who presented due to worsening dyspnea on exertion. Her MM has been refractory to multiple chemotherapy regimens and two autologous bone marrow transplantation. Diagnostic evaluations including serum kappa and lambda chains, echocardiogram, pyrophosphate cardiac scan, and cardiac magnetic resonance were indicative of a progression to AL cardiomyopathy. Addition of daratumumab to her regimen appeared to ameliorate the progression of AL cardiomyopathy. However, it was stopped due to adverse effects of pancytopenia and allergic reactions including skin rash and hives. She was hospitalized for heart failure exacerbation and died approximately 2 months following the discontinuation of daratumumab. This case highlights the late presentation of AL cardiomyopathy in refractory MM.

Authors: Lamia Alhazmi , Fawaz Alassery
Published: July 2022

Pneumonia is a disease that spreads quickly and poses a serious risk to the health and well-being of its victims. An accurate biomedical diagnosis of pneumonia necessitates the use of various diagnostic tools and the evaluation of various clinical features, all of which are hindered by the lack of available experts and tools. According to the research presented here, a mobile app that uses deep learning techniques to classify whether or not a patient has pneumonia is being developed. It was hoped that a mobile application prototype for detecting pneumonia using neural networks would be developed as part of this study. The use of a high-level tool such as Create ML makes this process easier and eliminates issues such as how many layers a neural network has, initializing the model parameters, or which algorithms to use. The model can now be accessed by anyone, anywhere, via a mobile application. The dataset of more than 5,000 real images was used to train an image classification model using Create ML, a tool with a graphical interface, and there was no need for specialized knowledge.

). Conclusion. The standardized training for new pharmacists through the mind map integration teaching method can effectively improve their core competence and post competence. This training method is worth using for reference and promotion.
Failure Mechanism and Acoustic Emission Precursors of Coal Samples considering Bedding Effect under Triaxial Unloading Condition
Authors: Yang Rui , Zhou Yan , Ma Depeng
Published: August 2022

Bedding increases coal seam anisotropy, which leads to significant differences in the evolution laws of mining stress and strata movement. This work analyzed the dip angles of different layers to analyze the mechanical properties of the coal seam under unloading. The coal sample was subjected to triaxial compression and unloading damage acoustic emission testing. The brittleness characteristics of the coal sample failure in different bedding directions differed significantly. Compared with axial parallel bedding coal samples, axial vertical bedding and inclined stratification reached an ultimate strength. The stress–strain curve decreased sharply and showed visible brittle-drop characteristics. The average strengths of the axially inclined bedding and the parallel layered coal sample decreased compared with the axial vertical bedding coal sample and were 10.20 and 16.12 MPa, respectively, which implies a greater susceptibility to failure during unloading confining pressure tests. Acoustic emission monitoring indicated that the axial vertical bedding and inclined bedding showed sudden destruction of different coal samples, a reduction in axial parallel bedding ductility coal sample characteristics, and stronger unloading damage on the axis parallel to the bedding coal sample. Further, using the acoustic emission ring count rate and the cusp catastrophe theory, the unloading failure prediction of coal samples is carried out. The prediction results are not different from the experimental results, which shows that this method is feasible.

Reactivation of fetal hemoglobin (HbF, α2γ2) alleviates clinical symptoms in patients with β-thalassemia and sickle cell disease, although the regulatory mechanisms of γ-globin expression have not yet been fully elucidated. Recent studies found that interfering with the expression of the membrane protein ANTXR1 gene upregulated γ-globin levels. However, the exact mechanism by which ANTXR1 regulates γ-globin levels remains unclear. Our study showed that overexpression and knockdown of ANTXR1 in K562, cord blood CD34+, and HUDEP-2 cells decreased and increased γ-globin expression, respectively. ANTXR1 regulates the reactivation of fetal hemoglobin (HbF, α2γ2) in K562, cord blood CD34+, and adult peripheral blood CD34+ cells through interaction with LRP6 to promote the nuclear entry of β-catenin and activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. The overexpression or knockdown of ANTXR1 on γ-globin and Wnt/β-catenin signaling in K562 cells was reversed by the inhibitor XAV939 and the activator LiCl, respectively, where XAV939 inhibits the transcription of β-catenin in the Wnt pathway, but LiCl inhibits GSK3-β. We also showed that the binding ability of the rank4 site in the transcriptional regulatory region of the SOX6 gene to c-Jun was significantly increased after overexpression of ANTXR1 in K562 cells. SOX6 protein expression was increased significantly after overexpression of the c-Jun gene, indicating that the transcription factor c-Jun initiated the transcription of SOX6, thereby silencing γ-globin. Our findings may provide a new intervention target for the treatment of β-hemoglobinopathies.

Authors: Yin Lisha
Published: August 2022

The sharing economy and new business models have emerged as a result of the economy’s rapid growth in recent years. The sharing economy and innovative business models have enabled people to transact with one another, saving both time and money. The growth has been aided by the introduction of IoT big data. This study will look at how to use big data from the Internet of Things to examine the growth of the sharing economy and new business models. This study proposes a BP neural network algorithm based on the big data of the Internet of Things (IoT), which can not only effectively classify a large amount of data in the sharing economy but also predict the development direction of the sharing economy and new business models. The experimental results of this study show that the economic benefit of shared office in 2017 is 11 billion yuan, and the economic benefit of shared office in 2018 is 20.6 billion yuan, an increase of 87.3% in 2018 compared with 2017. The economic benefit of knowledge and skills in 2017 was 138.2 billion yuan, and the economic benefit of shared office in 2018 was 235.3 billion yuan, an increase of 70.3% in 2018 compared with 2017. It can be seen that the economic benefits brought by the sharing economy to the country are very high, and there is also a lot of room for growth. Therefore, based on the background of IoT big data, it is essential to conduct research on the development of sharing economy and new business models.

Published: August 2022

Herbal and chemical products are used for oral care and biofilm treatment and also have been reported to be controversial in the massive trials conducted in this regard. The present review is aimed at evaluating the potential of relevant herbal and chemical products and comparing their outcomes to conventional oral care products and summarizing the current state of evidence of the antibiofilm properties of different products by evaluating studies from the past eleven years. Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX), essential oils (EOs), and acetylpyridinium chloride were, respectively, the most commonly studied agents in the included studies. As confirmed by all systematic reviews, CHX and EO significantly control the plaque formation and gingival indices. Fluoride is another interesting reagent in oral care products that has shown promising results of oral health improvement, but the evidence quality needs to be refined. The synergy between natural plants and chemical products should be targeted in the future to accede to the formation of new, efficient, and healthy anticaries strategies. Moreover, to discover their biofilm‐interfering or biofilm‐inhibiting activities, effective clinical trials are needed. In this review article, therapeutic applications of herbal/chemical materials in oral biofilm infections are discussed in recent years (2010‐2022).
Evaluation of Susceptibility of the Human Pathogen Helicobacter pylori to the Antibiotic Capreomycin
Authors: Sukati Suriyan , Sama-ae Imran , Katzenmeier Gerd , Wisessombat Sueptrakool
Published: July 2022

Helicobacter pylori infection causes gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, and gastric cancer and can also promote thrombosis. It is estimated that approximately 4.5 billion individuals are infected, thus rendering H. pylori the most prevalent microbial pathogen. Currently established regimes for antibiotic treatment are massively challenged by increasing drug resistance and the development of novel antimicrobial therapies is urgently required. The antibiotic capreomycin is clinically used against multiple drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It targets the complex between TlyA, a hemolysin- and RNA-binding protein, and the bacterial rRNA. In this study we have explored the possible antibacterial effects of capreomycin against several strains of H. pylori and found only moderate activity which was comparable to metronidazole-resistant strains. Molecular docking of capreomycin to TlyA proteins from H. pylori and M. tuberculosis identified several residues within TlyA which interact with the drug; however, binding affinities of H. pylori– TlyA for capreomycin appear to be higher than those of Mycobacterium– TlyA. The data suggest that capreomycin may warrant further investigations into its potential use as antibiotic against H. pylori.

Published: August 2022

The advantages of noncontact, high-efficiency, and fully automatic vision measurement technology make it widely used in industrial inspection and other fields. This study is based on the research of machine vision nanoimage automatic measurement and powder metallurgy materials. It aims to apply the machine vision imaging-related image processing technology principle to the automatic measurement of nanoimages and analyze the related properties of powder metallurgy materials and their image applications. This study mainly combines theory and practice to carry out experiments and data acquisition and analysis. On the one hand, it has a theoretical understanding of machine vision imaging principles and image segmentation; it also analyzes the properties and applications of powder metallurgy materials. On the other hand, on the basis of these theories, machine vision technology is fully applied to analyze the related physical properties such as the gap and density between tiny particles. Among them, the image measurement technology of moving targets is applied, and the model of the machine vision system is established. After a series of experimental verifications, the accuracy of the machine vision image measurements was fully guaranteed. The experimental results show that with the aid of machine vision technology, the accuracy of the observed data has been greatly increased; the maximum porosity of powder metallurgy materials has increased from 6.56 to 8.22; the maximum density has increased from 6.46 to 8.40. This demonstrates that automated image measurement based on machine vision technology can greatly improve the accuracy of measurements.

High dimensionality of the feature space is one of the problems in the field of text classification. Identification of optimal subset of features can optimize text classification process in terms of processing time and performance. In this paper, we propose a novel Relevant‐Based Feature Ranking (RBFR) algorithm which identifies and selects smaller subsets of more relevant features in the feature space. We compared the performance of the RBFR against other existing feature selection methods such as balanced accuracy measure, information gain, Gini index, and odds ratio on 3 datasets, namely, 20 newsgroup, Reuters, and WAP datasets. We have used 5 machine learning models (SVM, NB, kNN, RF, and LR) to test and evaluate the proposed feature selection method. We found that the performance of the proposed feature selection method is 25.4305% times more effective than the existing feature selection methods in terms of accuracy.

Published: August 2022

Night lighting is closely related to social and economic development. Inversion of socioeconomic parameters using nighttime light (NTL) remote sensing data is a research hot spot currently. In this paper, a calibration method based on adaptive clustering algorithm for the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (NPP-VIIRS) NTL data was proposed to remove background noise in the original imagery. The validity of the calibration method was evaluated through comparing the correlation between the corrected NTL data and the regional economic data. The result indicated that the NTL data obtained by this calibration method have higher correlation with the regional GDP data, and the values of R2 and the root mean square error (RMSE) were 0.8531 and 133.18, respectively. On this basis, the total nighttime light (TNL)-gross domestic product (GDP) regression model obtained from this paper was used to invert the GDP of Liaoning Province from 2012 to 2016. Using the TNL-GDP regression model established in high-quality regions to verify the fraudulent economic statistics of Liaoning Province, it can be proved that NTL data can be a reliable reference for reflecting regional economic development trends.

Authors: Wang Ying , Wang Jing , Mei Hua
Published: July 2022

Objective. To explore the diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and invasive cervical carcinoma (ICC) by cervical biopsy under colposcopy and analyze the factors influencing the detection. Methods. The clinical data of 134 CIN confirmed by colposcopy biopsy in our hospital from June 2018 to October 2019 and subsequent LEEP treatment were analyzed retrospectively. All patients were diagnosed pathologically after the operation. The diagnosis of CIN by cervical biopsy under colposcopy was observed. The influencing factors of CIN and ICC detected by colposcopy biopsy were analyzed by the pathological results of loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) as the gold standard. Results. After LEEP, the number of the no intraepithelial or malignant lesions (NILM) or ICC were higher than that of colposcopy biopsy, and CIN-III was lower than that of colposcopy biopsy, the differences were all statistically significant (

). Among the 134 patients, the coincidence rate between colposcopy biopsy and LEEP examination results was 79.10% (106/134), and postoperative pathological findings showed that there were 13 cases (9.70%) with the pathological upgrade and 19 cases (14.18%) with pathological decrease. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that the image quality of colposcopy image, atypical blood vessels, biopsy sampling method, and visible lesion area of the cervix were the independent influencing factors for the detection of CIN and ICC by colposcopy biopsy (

). Conclusion. CIN and ICC can be diagnosed by colposcopy cervical biopsy and postoperative histopathology. However, there are still some missed and misdiagnosed cervical biopsies under colposcopy, and the combined detection of the two can further ensure the diagnosis rate. The clinical registration number is E2018091.

Published: July 2022

Non-water reacting polyurethane is a new type of grouting material for support reinforcement and emergency rescue, whose creep mechanical behavior is directly related to the stability and safety of the reinforcement project. To investigate the creep properties of non-water reacting polyurethane grouting material, a series of multistage loading creep tests were performed under uniaxial compression conditions. Then, the creep curves, creep strain rate, and creep failure modes of non-water reacting polyurethane grouting material were obtained. In addition, the effects of temperature and density on the creep properties of non-water reacting polyurethane grouting material were also analyzed. Finally, based on the finite difference program, the numerical simulation of the uniaxial compression creep test of non-water reacting polyurethane grouting material was conducted by employing the Burgers–Mohr creep model. The simulated creep curve was in good agreement with the test curve, which verified the feasibility of the model to describe the creep characteristics of non-water reacting polyurethane grouting material. The research results can provide a reference for studying the creep behavior of polyurethane grouting material and also contribute to the development and application of polyurethane material grouting technology.

Published: July 2022

Objectives. Intestinal epithelial barrier function is an important mechanical barrier to maintain intestinal homeostasis and resist the invasion of intestinal pathogens and microorganisms. However, intestinal epithelial barrier function is vulnerable to damage under intestinal ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury. Under a category of pathophysiological conditions, including I/R, autophagy plays a crucial role. This study is aimed at discussing the role of autophagy inhibitors and activators in intestinal epithelial barrier function after intestinal I/R by changing autophagy levels. Methods. Mice with intestinal IR underwent 45 minutes of surgery for superior mesenteric artery occlusion. The autophagy inhibitor 3-MA and the autophagy inducer rapamycin (RAP) were used to change the level of autophagy, and then, the expressions of tight junction proteins and intestinal barrier function were detected. Results. The results showed that the autophagy inhibitor 3-MA aggravated intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction, while the autophagy inducer RAP attenuated intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction. In addition, promoting autophagy may promote occludin expression by inhibiting claudin-2 expression. Conclusion. Upregulation of autophagy levels by autophagy inducers can enhance intestinal epithelial barrier function after intestinal I/R.
IL6 and CCL18 Mediate Cross-talk between VHL-Deficient Kidney Cells and Macrophages during Development of Renal Cell Carcinoma
Authors: Nguyen Thi-Ngoc , Nguyen-Tran Hieu-Huy , Chen Chen-Yun , Hsu Tien
Published: August 2022

Loss of the von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor gene function accounts for 70% to 80% of all clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) cases, the most prevalent form of RCC. Accumulating evidence has indicated that ccRCC arises from sites of chronic inflammation, yet how ccRCC tumor cells interact with immune components of the microenvironment has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we used unbiased proteomic and genomic analyses on components of the tumor microenvironment under different conditions, identifying the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie the cross-talk between VHL-deficient kidney tubule cells and macrophages. In vitro and in a Vhlh conditional knockout mouse model, VHL-deficient noncancerous kidney epithelial cells, representing the early stage of ccRCC initiation, secreted IL6 that induced macrophage infiltration and polarization toward the protumorigenic M2 phenotype. Activated human macrophages secreted CCL18 and TGFβ1 to stimulate epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of the kidney tubule cells. Treatment with IL6-neutralizing antibody rescued inflammatory, proliferative, and EMT phenotypes of kidney epithelial cells in Vhlh conditional knockout mice. Furthermore, in a human ccRCC xenograft model, exogenous human primary or cultured macrophages significantly promoted primary tumor growth and metastasis in a CCL18-dependent manner. These findings identify specific factors involved in reciprocal cross-talk between tumor cells and immune components in the microenvironment, thus providing an avenue for early intervention in ccRCC.

Significance:

The identification of VHL-deficient kidney tubule cell cross-talk with macrophages regulated by IL6 and CCL18 reveals potential targets for the prevention and treatment of ccRCC.
Investigating Morphologic Correlates of Driver Gene Mutation Heterogeneity via Deep Learning
Authors: Song Andrew H. , Williamson Drew F.K. , Mahmood Faisal
Published: August 2022

Despite the crucial role of phenotypic and genetic intratumoral heterogeneity in understanding and predicting clinical outcomes for patients with cancer, computational pathology studies have yet to make substantial steps in this area. The major limiting factor has been the bulk gene–sequencing practice that results in loss of spatial information of gene status, making the study of intratumoral heterogeneity difficult. In this issue of Cancer Research, Acosta and colleagues used deep learning to study if localized gene mutation status can be predicted from localized tumor morphology for clear cell renal cell carcinoma. The algorithm was developed using curated sets of matched hematoxylin and eosin and IHC images, which represent spatially resolved morphology and genotype, respectively. This study confirms the existence of a strong link between morphology and underlying genetics on a regional level, paving the way for further investigations into intratumoral heterogeneity.

Published: August 2022

The posterior HOXD enhancer is an EWSR1::FLI1-dependent regulator of HOXD13 expression in Ewing sarcoma. HOXD13 expression promotes a mesenchymal cell state. Through antagonistic transcriptional programs, EWSR1::FLI1 and HOXD13 serve as master regulators of Ewing cell plasticity. Targeting Ewing cells as they exist in/transition between mesenchymal states is a priority.

Pela defesa da qualidade na formação educacional: uma estratégia de resistência aos efeitos da pandemia no ensino de pós-graduação
Authors: Miani Rozinaldo Antonio , Londero Rodolfo Rorato
Published: August 2022

Desde o início da suspensão das atividades presenciais no ensino superior no Brasil, em razão da pandemia da covid 19, as atenções se voltaram, predominantemente, para a graduação. Diante da legitimidade dessa preocupação, os processos educacionais envolvendo a pós-graduação receberam atenção e cuidados apenas residuais. Com o discurso de submissão da pós-graduação Stricto sensu à dinâmica estabelecida pela Capes, a grande maioria das universidades acabou delegando as decisões à “autonomia” de cada programa. Nesse sentido, a partir deste relato de experiência, objetivamos refletir sobre as estratégias de resistência construídas pelo Programa de Mestrado em Comunicação da Universidade Estadual de Londrina na defesa da qualidade da formação educacional, por meio de um processo coletivo e democrático, garantindo a qualidade no ensino.

Published: August 2022

Este artigo analisa a construção histórica contemporânea da Administração Pública Brasileira com base nas três propostas de reforma posteriores à promulgação da Constituição Federal de 1988, a partir da descrição de quatro documentos: Plano Diretor da Reforma do Aparelho do Estado (1995), Emenda Constitucional nº 19 de 1998, Agenda Nacional de Gestão Pública (2009) e Proposta de Emenda Constitucional nº 32 de 2020. Em seguida, relaciona os documentos entre si, em busca de características convergentes ou divergentes, além de tentar identificar à qual concepção de Administração Pública mais se adequam. Nesse contexto, destaca-se que um dos documentos estudados é uma Proposta de Emenda Constitucional, apresentada em meio a pandemia de Covid-19 pelo Poder Executivo. Após a análise dos documentos, conclui-se que apenas um modelo de Administração Pública foi sendo praticado governo após governo, de diferentes formas, mas sempre com o mesmo objetivo, realizando um processo cíclico. Sugere-se que a forma como a Gestão Pública tem respondido às demandas da sociedade na pandemia traz elementos importantes para pensar o modelo da Administração Pública que precisamos para salvar vidas e pensar um Estado que responda às demandas da sociedade.

A new amphipod species, Desdimelita (?) spicatimanus sp. nov., from the north-eastern slope of the Sea of Okhotsk (Russian Far East) is described. The new species is tentatively assigned to the genus Desdimelita because it is similar to females of the species of this genus in most of the characters: in the structure of the mouthparts, the armament of the dactylus of pereopod 2 (gnathopod 2), the anterior and posterior margins of the propodus of pereopods 1 and 2 (gnathopods 1 and 2), pereopods 3–7, uropods and telson. The new species differs from other Desdimelita species by the morphology of propodus of pereopod 2: broadened; palm with a row of 5–6 rare strong long robust setae). It also differs from D. microphthalma Jarrett & Bousfield, 1996 in larger eyes; from D. barnardi Jarrett & Bousfield, 1996 and D. transmelita Jarrett & Bousfield, 1996 it differs by the presence of a postero-dorsal tooth (teeth) on urosome 1; from D. californica (Alderman, 1936) it differs by the presence only a single postero-dorsal tooth on urosome 1; from D. desdichada (J.L. Barnard, 1962) and D. microdentata Jarrett & Bousfield, 1996 it differs by the long dactylus of pereopods 5–7. Keys to the world species of the genus Desdimelita is provided.
In search of some type-specimens of Rhamphus [Clairville], 1798 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Authors: CALDARA ROBERTO , TOŠEVSKI IVO , MENDEL HOWARD , GERMANN CHRISTOPH
Published: July 2022

During morphological and molecular studies of species of Rhamphus from southern and western Europe, the authors realized that some specimens currently identified as R. pulicarius (Herbst, 1795) and R. oxyacanthae (Marsham, 1802), two widely distributed species in Europe, belonged to different closely related taxa. Therefore, it was necessary to examine type specimens of these and other species considered synonymous or confused with them. It was possible to designate lectotypes for Rhamphus subaeneus Illiger, 1808 and Rhamphus kiesenwetteri Tournier, 1873. However, it was necessary to designate neotypes for: Curculio pulicarius Herbst, 1795, Curculio oxyacanthae Marsham, 1802 and Rhamphus flavicornis [Clairville], 1798. These three neotypes were sequenced for mtCOI and the sequences are now accessible online.

MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) land surface temperature measurements in combination with in situ air temperature records from 119 meteorological stations are used to reconstruct a monthly near-surface air temperature product over the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) by means of a neural network model. The product is generated on a regular grid of 0.05° × 0.05°, spanning from 2001 to 2018. Comparison with independent in situ air temperature measurements shows low uncertainty, with a mean bias of 0.09°C, a mean absolute error of 2.23°C, and a correlation coefficient of 97%. Furthermore, the performance of the reconstruction is better than ERA5 (the fifth-generation ECMWF reanalysis model) against in situ measurements. For the 2001–18 period, the MODIS-based near-surface air temperature product yields annual warming in the East Antarctica, but cooling in the Antarctic Peninsula and West Antarctica. However, they are not statistically significant. This product can also be used to investigate the impact of the Southern Hemisphere annual mode (SAM) on year-to-year variability of air temperature. The enhanced positive phase of SAM in recent decades in austral summer has a cooling effect on East and West Antarctica. In addition, the dataset has the potential application for climate model validation and data assimilation due to the independence of the input of a numerical weather prediction model.

In the propagation from meteorological to hydrological drought, there are time-lag and step-abrupt effects, quantified in terms of propagation time and threshold, which play an important role in hydrological drought early warning. However, seasonal drought propagation time and threshold and their dynamics as well as the corresponding driving mechanism remain unknown in a changing environment. To this end, the standardized precipitation index (SPI) and standardized runoff index (SRI) were used respectively to characterize meteorological and hydrological droughts and to determine the optimal propagation time. Then, a seasonal drought propagation framework based on Bayesian network was proposed for calculating the drought propagation threshold with SPI. Finally, the seasonal dynamics and preliminary attribution of propagation characteristics were investigated based on the random forest model and correlation analysis. The results show that 1) relatively short propagation time (less than 9 months) and large propagation threshold (from −3.18 to −1.19) can be observed in the Toxkan River basins (subbasin II), especially for spring, showing low drought resistance; 2) drought propagation time shows an extended trend in most seasons, while the drought propagation threshold displays an increasing trend in autumn and winter in the Aksu River basin (subbasins I–II), and the opposite characteristics in the Hotan and Yarkant River basins (subbasins III–V); and 3) the impacts of precipitation, temperature, potential evapotranspiration, and soil moisture on drought propagation dynamics are inconsistent across subbasins and seasons, noting that reservoirs serve as a buffer to regulate the propagation from meteorological to hydrological droughts. The findings of this study can provide scientific guidelines for watershed hydrological drought early warning and risk management.

Significance Statement

The aim of this study is to better understand how the delayed and step-abrupt effects of propagation from meteorological drought to hydrological drought can be characterized through propagation time and threshold. These response indicators determine the resistance of a catchment to hydrological droughts and meteorological droughts. They can help water resources management agencies to mitigate hydrological droughts by taking measures such as water storage, increasing revenue, and reducing expenditure. The findings of this study can provide scientific guidelines for watershed hydrological drought early warning and risk management.
The Origin and Fate of Antarctic Intermediate Water in the Southern Ocean

Published: August 2022

Using observationally based hydrographic and eddy diffusivity datasets, a volume budget analysis is performed to identify the main mechanisms governing the spatial and seasonal variability of Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) within the density range γn = (27.25–27.7) kg m−3 in the Southern Ocean. The subduction rates and water mass transformation rates by mesoscale and small-scale turbulent mixing are estimated. First, Ekman pumping upwells the dense variety of AAIW into the mixed layer south of the Polar Front, which can be advected northward by Ekman transport into the subduction regions of lighter-variety AAIW and Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW). The subduction of light AAIW occurs mainly by lateral advection in the southeast Pacific and Drake Passage as well as eddy-induced flow between the Subantarctic and Polar Fronts. The circumpolar-integrated total subduction yields from −5 to 19 Sv (1 Sv ≡ 106 m3 s−1) of AAIW volume loss. Second, the diapycnal transport from subducted SAMW into the AAIW layer is predominantly by mesoscale mixing (2–13 Sv) near the Subantarctic Front and vertical mixing in the South Pacific, while AAIW is further replenished by transformation from Upper Circumpolar Deep Water by vertical mixing (1–10 Sv). Last, 3–14 Sv of AAIW are exported out of the Southern Ocean. Our results suggest that the distribution of AAIW is set by its formation due to subduction and mixing, and its circulation eastward along the ACC and northward into the subtropical gyres. The volume budget analysis reveals strong seasonal variability in the rate of subduction, vertical mixing, and volume transport driving volume change within the AAIW layer. The nonzero volume budget residual suggests that more observations are needed to better constrain the estimate of geostrophic flow and mesoscale and small-scale mixing diffusivities.
Analytical and Residual Bootstrap Methods for Parameter Uncertainty Assessment in Tidal Analysis with Temporally Correlated Noise

Published: August 2022

Reconstructing tidal signals is indispensable for verifying altimetry products, forecasting water levels, and evaluating long-term trends. Uncertainties in the estimated tidal parameters must be carefully assessed to adequately select the relevant tidal constituents and evaluate the accuracy of the reconstructed water levels. Customary harmonic analysis uses ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions for their simplicity. However, the OLS may lead to incorrect estimations of the regression coefficient uncertainty due to the neglect of the residual autocorrelation. This study introduces two residual resamplings (moving-block and semiparametric bootstraps) for estimating the variability of tidal regression parameters and shows that they are powerful methods to assess the effects of regression errors with nontrivial autocorrelation structures. A Monte Carlo experiment compares their performance to four analytical procedures selected from those provided by the RT_Tide, UTide, and NS_Tide packages and the robustfit.m MATLAB function. In the Monte Carlo experiment, an iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) regression is used to estimate the tidal parameters for hourly simulations of one-dimensional water levels. Generally, robustfit.m and the considered RT_Tide method overestimate the tidal amplitude variability, while the selected UTide and NS_Tide approaches underestimate it. After some substantial methodological corrections the selected NS_Tide method shows adequate performance. As a result, estimating the regression variance–covariance with the considered RT_Tide, UTide, and NS_Tide methods may lead to the erroneous selection of constituents and underestimation of water level uncertainty, compromising the validity of their results in some applications.

Significance Statement

At many locations, the production of reliable water level predictions for marine navigation, emergency response, and adaptation to extreme weather relies on the precise modeling of tides. However, the complicated interaction between tides, weather, and other climatological processes may generate large uncertainties in tidal predictions. In this study, we investigate how different statistical methods may lead to different quantification of tidal model uncertainty when using data with completely known properties (e.g., knowing the tidal signal, as well as the amount and structure of noise). The main finding is that most commonly used statistical methods may estimate incorrectly the uncertainty in tidal parameters and predictions. This inconsistency is due to some specific simplifying assumptions underlying the analysis and may be reduced using statistical techniques based on data resampling.
