Spatial Patterns of the Urban Agglomeration of the Yellow River Ji-Shaped Bend Based on Space of Multiple Flows by Mengyao Guo, Fang Wang, Ruixi Zhao, Xi Guo

“…The results show the following: (1) The information flow among cities in the UAYB is the strongest, followed by logistics flow and population flow. (2) Hohhot, Ordos, Yinchuan, and Taiyuan are the core cities and have attracted more flows to converge there; different flows have formed different central features. (3) Regarding the correlation of the three flows, information flow has a strong correlation with the other two flows. (4) From the perspective of the joint effects of the three flows considered, the hierarchy of UAYB is dominated by Hohhot and Taiyuan and sub-dominated by Yinchuan and Ordos; four prominent city groups have been formed with these four cities as the center. …”

Understanding the microscopic origin of the magnetic interactions in CoNb2O6 by Amanda A. Konieczna, David A. S. Kaib, Stephen M. Winter, Roser Valentí

“…We find that the twisted Kitaev chain and transverse-field ferromagnetic Ising chain views are mutually compatible, although additional off-diagonal exchanges are required for a complete picture. We show that the dominant exchange interaction is a ligand-centered process—involving e g electrons -, rendered anisotropic by low-symmetry crystal fields in CoNb2O6, resulting in dominant Ising exchange. …”

Day-ahead Clearing Method for High-proportion Hydropower Electricity Market by ZHANG Yang, SHEN Jianjian, ZHAO Qihao, XIE Mengfei, JIA Zebin

“…How to handle the complex characteristics of cascade hydropower and solve the competitive spillage and power shortage problem is one of the key issues in the clearing of the high-proportion hydropower day-ahead spot electricity market.Therefore,combined with the project in Yunnan,this paper proposes a day-ahead clearing method for the high-proportion hydropower electricity market.In this method,the hydraulic constraints in the clearing model are replaced by the post-hydraulic check.Combined with the essential causes of competitive spillage and power shortage problems,the paper constructs a conditional constraint set including cascaded hydropower linkage constraints and spillage control constraints,and corresponding trigger conditions respectively.Moreover,the constraint boundaries are dynamically updated to gradually reduce competitive spillage and power shortage in the iterative solution procedure.A settlement compensation strategy is finally designed to provide corresponding benefits for plants involved in solving the spillage.The proposed method is validated by a real-world hydropower-dominated provincial system ranking second in China.The results show that competitive spillage and power shortage can be avoided or reduced substantially.It is demonstrated that this method meets the requirements of practicability and timeliness for day-ahead spot clearing of hydropower-dominated provincial power systems.…”

Water Chemistry and Nitrogen and Oxygen Isotope Techniques for Tracing Nitrate Sources and Transformation Processes in Ionic Rare Earth Mining Areas by GUO Qiuyan, ZHANG Qiuying, LI Zhao, LI Fadong, WANG Fan

“…To identify the source,migration and transformation processes,and pollution contribution of nitrate in the water body of ionic rare earth mining areas,this paper determined the anions and nitrate nitrogen-oxygen isotopes of surface and groundwater samples by taking Longnan County as the study area.The results show that the water chemistry type in Longnan County is basically dominated by HCO₃·SO₄-Ca,and the nitrogen-containing compounds are dominated by nitrate.The characteristic plots of the values of δ¹⁵N-NO^-₃ and δ¹⁸O-NO^-₃ combined with the relationship between NO^-₃/Cl^- molar concentration ratios and Cl^- concentrations show that the nitrate concentrations in the Longnan County are mainly influenced by ammonium nitrogen fertilizer,soil nitrogen,manure and mine drainage and that the main process of nitrate transformation is nitrification,with no significant denitrification reactions.The results of the MixSIAR model also show that the nitrate in surface water and groundwater mainly comes from mine drainage,soil nitrogen and manure.…”
