Design and Analysis of thermosyphon Solar Water Heating System. by Kakuru, Stephen

“…In rural areas of Uganda, access to affordable hot water is a persistent challenge with communities often relying on firewood and charcoal for water heating which contributes to deforestation, air pollution, and health hazards hence respiratory diseases like asthma, lung cancer, TB, and allergic disease, climate changes and global warming. This research aimed at the design and analysis of a thermosyphon solar water heater that heats water using solar energy which is healthy, environmentally friendly, cost-effective, easily maintained, and simple since it depends on natural convection and gravity force for water flow. …”

Dynamic Assessment of Agricultural Drought Risk in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from 2000 to 2018 by LIU Guonie, LIANG Yuanyuan, QIU Yue, XIA Jingxia, DING Mengyao, SUN Peng

“…In the context of global warming and climate change,drought poses a serious threat to agricultural production.The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a “sensor” and “sensitive area” of climate change.Researching the agricultural drought risk of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is conducive to drought prevention planning of the area and improving the ability to resist drought.A risk assessment model is developed for agricultural droughts on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in light of regional disaster system theory,which is employed to investigate the hazard,exposure,vulnerability and spatiotemporal features of agricultural droughts therein.Moreover,the paper regionalizes the risk grade at a county level.The results show the followings:① The hazard of agricultural drought risk on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau presents a “high-low-high” distribution from southeast to northwest,and the southeastern region shows an increasing trend.Wheat and highland barley in the eastern and southeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are at a high agricultural drought risk from July to September.Forages in the northern region are at a high agricultural drought risk from April to August.② The regional difference of agricultural drought exposure in Tibet Plateau is small.The exposure shows an increasing trend in the east and northwest while a decreasing trend in the central and west.③ The agricultural drought vulnerability of 98.79% of the counties and cities is decreasing,which passes the significance test at the confidence level of 99%.④ The southeastern and northern regions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau witness a high agricultural drought risk and an increasing trend of it.…”

Temporal and Spatial Evolution Characteristics of Meteorological Drought in the Loess Plateau from 1961 to 2020 by LI Mengting, LI Chunguang

“…Based on the daily meteorological data of 61 meteorological stations in the Loess Plateau from 1961 to 2020,this paper explores the historical arid evolution characteristics of the study area.The paper adopts the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI),Morlet wavelet analysis,drought area coverage,drought frequency,and Mann-Kendall mutation test to reveal the characteristics of dry and wet changes and cycle characteristics of the Loess Plateau under the background of nearly 60a global warming.Meanwhile,it carries out the attribution analysis of drought.The results show that the alternating wet and dry variation of SPEI values is region-wide.Annual SPEI_12 and spring,autumn,and winter SPEI_3 show a decreasing trend year by year during the study period,and the decreasing trend of drought tendency is ranked as autumn>spring>winter>annual.Summer SPEI_3 shows a relatively flat increasing trend with a trend rate of 0.02/10a.The overall drought coverage area shows an upward trend,and the annual drought frequency is between 31.40% and 35.15%.The aridification trend of the central and western regions is large.The cycle of dry and wet changes at different time scales is unstable,and it is currently in the stage of warm and humidification for a long time.The current trend of warming and humidification is only reflected in quantitative changes,which is not enough to change the basic climatic state of the region and is still in the arid and semi-arid climate range of cool and dry.…”
