Optimization of the Loess Plateau of the China Ecological Network Pattern Based on a PLUS Model by Xiaoyan Luo, Xun Luo, Xianhua Yang, Jian Wang, Jialing Liao, Yu He, Ye Du, Ye Yang

“…We utilized the PLUS (Patch-generating Land Use Simulation) model to simulate the land use patterns of the Loess Plateau of China under four different development scenarios in 2030, constructed the corresponding ecological network, and evaluated the network structure. The results indicate the following: (1) By 2030, the spatial pattern of ecological network under the four scenarios will be concentrated in the east and west, in the north and south, and the middle of the Loess Plateau. (2) The change of land use pattern driven by a single policy has a trade-off effect on the ecological network and is prone to form the phenomenon of “ecological increase–functional lag”. (3) The regional ecological network layout of “four cores, multiple corridors and multiple sources” was proposed. …”

Surface-Plasmon-Polaritons-Assisted Enhanced Magnetic Response at Optical Frequencies in Metamaterials by Jing Chen, Chaojun Tang, Peng Mao, Cheng Peng, Depeng Gao, Ying Yu, Qiugu Wang, Labao Zhang

“…Moreover, we also found that the coupling between the MPPs and the SPPs can be tailored by the period of the metal nanowire array to affect the magnetic response of the plasmonic structure. Above the resonant wavelength of the MPPs, coupling between two kinds of resonance modes can lead to a 20-fold enhancement of the magnetic fields in the dielectric spacer, as compared with the pure magnetic resonance upon the excitation of the hybridized MPPs, whereas below it, coupling cannot lead to a magnetic field enhancement. …”
