Journal of Research in Reading, Volume 46, Issue 3, Page 247-277, August 2023., 2023 Background Using a 1‐year longitudinal design, we evaluated the effectiveness of an intervention programme to improve reading attainments among Chinese‐as‐a‐second‐language (CSL) learners. Using the simple view of reading as a theoretical framework, the intervention focused on students' orthographic knowledge, word reading and listening comprehension ...

Journal of Traumatic Stress, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 465-473, April 2023., 2023 Abstract The 2014 Hazelwood coal mine fire in the Latrobe Valley, Australia, distributed toxic smoke into surrounding communities over 45 days. This study investigated risk and protective factors associated with four trajectories of posttraumatic distress (resilient, recovery, delayed‐onset, chronic) among exposed adults.

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Insights into declines in ecosystem resilience and their causes and effects can inform preemptive action to avoid ecosystem collapse and loss of biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well‐being. Empirical studies of ecosystem collapse are rare and hampered by ecosystem complexity, nonlinear and lagged responses, and interactions across ...

How to prioritize species recovery after a megafire
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Due to climate change, megafires are increasingly common and have sudden, extensive impacts on many species over vast areas, leaving decision makers uncertain about how best to prioritize recovery. We devised a decision‐support framework to prioritize conservation actions to improve species outcomes immediately after a megafire.

Identifying treponemal disease in early East Asia
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 178, Issue 3, Page 530-543, July 2022., 2022 Syphilis in China before Vasco da Gama? Abstract Objectives Historic records suggest that a virulent form of treponematosis, sexually transmitted syphilis was introduced to Asia from Europe by the da Gama crew, who landed in India in 1498. Our objective is to assess the gross pathology of human skeletal remains from the Tang dynasty of China to test ...

Patients with Parkinson Disease in a Traditional Korean Medicine Hospital: A Five‐Year Audit
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 Parkinson disease (PD) patients’ demand for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has thus been increasing. We investigated the characteristics of PD patients who visited the Korean Medicine Hospital, the official CAM clinic in Korea. The medical records of PD patients were reviewed retrospectively.

Gaoya dianqi, 2023 为降低高压电缆故障引发的通道火灾、地铁停运、重要用户停电等影响，电力部门在电缆接头处大量安装了防火毯、防爆毯、防火槽盒等防护装置，但防护效果甚微。文中在分析高压电缆接头防火隔爆现状的基础上，以220 kV电缆接头为样本，测试了接头内主要材料的燃烧温度，并对目前常用的防火毯、防火板、防爆隔板进行了耐火性能的检测。文中通过电缆接头短路故障模拟试验校核了常用防火防爆措施的有效性，结果表明，目前常用的电缆接头防火措施均难以防范试验条件下的短路冲击和持续燃烧，现状高压电缆通道仍存在火灾和电缆群伤风险 ...

Jianzhu Gangjiegou Jinzhan, 2021 为研究涂有防火涂料的蜂窝组合梁在火灾下的性能,进行了涂刷厚涂型防火涂料的实腹组合梁与蜂窝组合梁的抗火试验,并与未涂防火涂料的蜂窝组合梁进行对比,研究了防火涂料对蜂窝组合梁温度分布、承载力以及破坏形态等方面影响。结果表明:防火涂料可提高蜂窝组合梁的耐火能力,可将蜂窝组合梁的耐火极限由0.5 h提高到1.5 h。防火涂料能显著减小蜂窝组合梁在火灾下的变形,改变蜂窝组合梁在高温下的温度分布规律,使温度分布较为均匀,避免蜂窝组合梁腹板过早屈曲。蜂窝孔形对涂有防火涂料的蜂窝梁的耐火性能没有影响 ...
