The results showed that energy accumulated before the occurrence of two hailstorm processes. That is,the height of 0 ℃ and-20 ℃ layer dropped rapidly in the period of hailing,and the height of 0 ℃ layer was around 2. 2 km. Echo clusters producing hail still belonged to meso-γ scale-meso-β scale,and the intensity of reflectivity factor exceeded 50 dBz; echo top was at 12-14 km,and vertically integrated liquid water content was over 30 kg/m^2; in the two processes,water accumulation zones were distributed at 0. 6-2. 0 km. In addition,the water vapor conditions of low-level environmental fields were poor,which resulted in small rainfall in the two processes. However,there were significant differences between the two processes in terms of influencing systems,motion path of hail,changes of ground meteorological elements and disasters. The influencing systems of the " 608" process were the cold vortex,transverse trough and cold front. Convective clouds moved from the northwest to the southeast,and ground temperature dropped,while dew point and ground pressure rose; wind direction changed suddenly with the movement of cold front,and there was no disaster. The influencing systems of the " 701" process were the upper trough,shear line and convergence line. Convective clouds moved from the south to the north. When convective clouds moved to the station,ground temperature dropped,and there was no obvious change in dew point; ground pressure declined sharply,and wind speed was small,but wind direction was changeable,so that the local direct economic loss was up to about 0. 2 billion yuan.展开更多

Partial Ni-and Mn-substitution of Fe element can both induce the antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic conversion in the Ti Ni Si-type state of these MnNiGe：Fe ribbon systems. It is found out, however, that some factors such as annealing, temperature variation process field-cycling, substituted site and magnetic field can affect the conversion and competition between the antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic states in these ribbons. Therefore, in this paper these major influencing factors are studied systematically and further discussed are the related magnetic and magnetocaloric properties in MnNiGe：Fe ribbon systems.展开更多

After a very brief introduction to the established results of the most fundamental opinion dynamics models, which seek to mathematically capture observed social phenomena, a brief discussion follows on several recent themes pursued by the authors building on the fundamental ideas. In the first theme, we study the way an individual′s self-confidence can develop through contributing to discussions on a sequence of topics, reaching a consensus in each case,where the consensus value to some degree reflects the contribution of that individual to the conclusion. During this process, the individuals in the network and the way they interact can change. The second theme introduces a novel discrete-time model of opinion dynamics to study how discrepancies between an individual′s expressed and private opinions can arise due to stubbornness and a pressure to conform to a social norm. It is also shown that a few extremists can create "pluralistic ignorance", where people believe there is majority support for a position but in fact the position is privately rejected by the majority. Last, we consider a group of individuals discussing a collection of logically related topics. In particular, we identify that for topics whose logical interdependencies take on a cascade structure,disagreement in opinions can occur if individuals have competing and/or heterogeneous views on how the topics are related, i.e., the logical interdependence structure varies between individuals.展开更多
