ABSTRACT
Frequent rainstorms caused by climate change are causing significant stresses and impacts on karst zones and even global hydrological systems. However, few reports have focused on rainstorm sediment events (RSE) based on long series, high-frequency signals in karst small watersheds. Present study assessed the process characteristics of RSE and analyzed the response of specific sediment yield (SSY) to environmental variables using random forest and correlation coefficients. Management strategies are then provided based on revised index of sediment connectivity (RIC) visualizations, sediment dynamics and landscape patterns, and modeling solutions for SSY are explored through the innovative use of multiple models. The results showed that the sediment process showed high variability (CV > 0.36), and the same index had obvious watershed differences. Landscape pattern and RIC show highly significant correlation with mean or maximum suspended sediment concentration (p<0.01, |r|>0.235). Early rainfall depth was the dominant factor affecting SSY (Contribution = 48.15 %). The hysteresis loop and RIC infer that the sediment of Mahuangtian and Maolike mainly comes from downstream farmland and riverbeds, while Yangjichong comes from remote hillsides. The watershed landscape is centralized and simplified. In the future, patches of shrubs or herbaceous plants should be added around the cultivated land and at the bottom of the sparse forest to increase the sediment collection capacity. The backpropagation neural network (BPNN) is optimal for modeling SSY, particularly for running the variables preferred by the generalized additive model (GAM). This study provides insight into understanding RSE in karst small watersheds. It will help the region to cope with future extreme climate change and develop sediment management models that are consistent with regional realities.
ABSTRACT
In order to solve the problem of cervical spondylosis in the early stage of various cervical spondylosis, effective treatment can prevent the deterioration of the disease. This paper presents the results of a clinical trial examining magnetic resonance imaging in the treatment of cervical spondylosis with flotation therapy and selected 68 patients with cervical spondylosis. According to research commodity, using a rigorous randomized controlled trial, 34 cases were divided into a control group (acupuncture group). The needles were kept for 30 minutes once a day. The treatment group (acupuncture combined with floating acupuncture group) was treated with acupuncture on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th days and floating acupuncture on the 2nd, 4th, and 6th days, respectively. Both groups were treated for 6 consecutive days and rested for 1 day. After 2 weeks of treatment, the simplified McGill Pain Scale (MPQ), visual analogue scale (VAS), and neck pain scale (NPQ) were observed and recorded to compare the curative effects. Finally, Excel software is used to manage the data, and SPSS21.0 is used for statistical analysis. Measurements of gender, age, disease, VAS, simple MPQ, and NPQ of the two groups were compared in the two groups, P > 0.05, which was not significant and comparable. After treatment, VAS, simple MPQ, and NPQ of the two groups were compared in and between groups, the total P < 0.05, with the mean data. Topics. Acupuncture combined with float needle and acupuncture therapy can improve the pain and breathing of cervical spondylosis and improve the quality of life of patients, but acupuncture combined with needle float is more pronounced than acupuncture groups.
