According to Simplifying the Business (StB) program initiated by IATA, an airport can offer passengers all travel-related services such as departure, transit, arrival, interchange, travel planning, etc. As the information system coping with the expansion of airport services, Integrated Passenger Service System (IPSS) focuses on the full integration of various information resources and ensures the smooth communication between passengers and the airport, which is based on SARI (Service, Application, Resource and Infrastructure) architecture.

Typical tripod foundations are designed using deterministic computational models according to relevant standards and codes. However, for more cost-safety balanced design, uncertainties in significant parameters should be considered in preliminary design to ensure meeting a specific probabilistic safety target in the context of the complex configuration of a tripod structure. In this article, uncertainties associated with design parameters and modelling errors are considered using Monte Carlo simulations, in order to determine the key structural design parameters, and to determine the optimal balance between design parameters and design requirements. A Spearman rank-order correlation based analysis is carried out to understand the effects of design variables on maximum deformation, total weight, and natural frequency, and to have insight about important design parameters for improvement of a preliminary design. It is found that the tower diameter has the most significant effect on the maximum displacement on the hub as validated through engineering case studies. In addition, a statistical framework, which identifies influential design parameters and provides reliability evaluation, is proposed for the structural design of a tripod OWT system. The design cases considered in this study indicate that a simple deterministic design check cannot guarantee the required reliability level of the structure, and the cost-safety balance can be achieved by a reliability analysis with the consideration of the uncertainties in the structure

Characteristics of wave propagation in thick beams are analyzed using a three-dimensional (3-D) spectral element method (SEM) for the purpose of damage detection. Analysis of wave propagation in beams of different thickness under excitations with different central frequency reveals that when the thickness of the beam is comparable to the wavelength of the elastic wave, a local wave mode, besides quasi-symmetric and quasi-anti-symmetric modes, exist simultaneously in the beam. In particular, when the wavelength is more than two times the beam thickness, the local wave modes are suppressed and the wave modes in the beam can be regarded as traditional guided waves, i.e., Lamb waves. It is demonstrated that the central frequency of wave signals can be selected according to the dimensions of the beam to obtain simple wave modes like those in thin beams. The characteristics of wave propagation in an intact beam and beams with a lateral crack are analyzed and the results are also validated by experiments, where wave propagation signals in thick steel beams are activated and captured using PZT elements.

Praca przedstawia problem detekcji uszkodzeń w belkach o znacznej grubości za pomocą trójwymiarowej metody elementów spektralnych (SEM) ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem charakterystyk propagacji fal w ośrodku. Analiza rozchodzenia się fal w belkach o różnej grubości poddanych wymuszeniom o różnej częstotliwości centralnej ujawniła, że gdy grubość belki jest porównywalna z długością fali sprężystej, to oprócz quasi-symetrycznych i quasi-antysymetrycznych postaci pojawia się lokalna postać własna fali. Gdy długość fali przekracza co najmniej dwukrotnie grubość belki, postacie lokalne zanikają i postacie fal mogą zostać uznane jako tradycyjne fale prowadzone, tj. fale Lamba. Pokazano, że centralna częstotliwość sygnałów falowych może zostać dobrana do konkretnych rozmiarów belki tak, aby otrzymać proste postacie własne fal przypominające kształt fal rozchodzących się w belkach cienkich. W pracy zbadano charakterystyki propagacji fal w belce nieuszkodzonej i belce z pęknięciem poprzecznym. Rezultaty tych badań zweryfikowano doświadczalnie poprzez generowanie i rejestrację sygnałów w grubych stalowych belkach aktuatorami i czujnikami piezoelektrycznymi.

We quantified changes in body mass, forearm length, and the total length of the epiphyseal gap of the fourth metacarpal-phalangeal joint of the ashy leaf-nosed bat (Hipposideros cineraceus) based on mark-recapture data obtained in Fangkong Cave in Hekou, Yunnan Province, China. We used these data to develop empirical growth curves, to derive growth rates, to establish age-predictive equations, and to compare growth parameters based on three nonlinear growth models. Forearm length and body mass of pups followed a linear pattern of growth until day 17, with mean growth rates of 0.81 mm/day and 0.09 g/day, respectively and thereafter their growth rates increased more slowly. The length of the epiphyseal gap initially increased linearly up to day 13 and then decreased linearly at a mean rate of 0.07 mm/day until day 37. An equation for estimating age based on forearm length was valid when this dimension was ≤ 27.6 mm, whereas the equation based on the length of the epiphyseal gap was valid for forearm lengths ≥ 24.3 mm. Together, these two equations permit estimation of the age H. cineraceus pups between 1 and 37 days. Of the three nonlinear growth models (logistic, Gompertz, and von Bertalanffy), the logistic equation provided the best fit to the empirical curves for body mass and forearm length.

The leishmaniases are zoonotic diseases caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania. Leishmaniases are still endemic in China, especially in the west and northwest froniter regions. To revalue the preliminary phylogenetic results of Chinese Leishmania isolates, we amplified partial fragment of small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) and 7 spliced leader RNA (7SL RNA), then tested the phylogenetic relationships among Chinese Leishmania isolates and their relatives by analyzing SSU rRNA gene sequences and 7SL RNA gene sequences. 19 SSU RNA sequences and 9 7SL RNA sequences were obtained in our study, then analyzed with 42 SSU RNA sequences and 32 7SL RNA sequences retrieved from Genbank, respectively. In the Bayesian analysis of the SSU RNA gene, the isolate MHOM/CN/93/GS7 and the isolate IPHL/CN/77/XJ771 are members of Leishmania donovani complex, while the isolate MHOM/CN/84/JS1 clustered with Leishmania tropica. The other 11 Chinese Leishmania isolates (MHOM/CN/90/WC, MCAN/CN/90/SC11, MHOM/CN/80/XJ801, MHOM/CN/85/GS4, MHOM/CN/84/SD1, MCAN/CN/86/SC7, MHOM/CN/54/#3, MHOM/CN/83/GS2, MHOM/CN/90/SC10H2, MHOM/CN/89/GS6 and MHOM/CN/ 89/GS5) form an unclassified group, defined as Leishmania sp., and the most relative species to this group is L. tarentolae. In the Bayesian analysis of the 7SL RNA gene, 9 Chinese Leishmania isolates also formed an unclassified group with L. tarentolae, including canine isolate 10, MHOM/CN/85/GS4, MHOM/CN/84/SD1, MCAN/CN/86/SC7, MHOM/CN/54/#3, MHOM/ CN/83/GS2, MHOM/CN/90/SC10H2, MHOM/CN/89/GS6 and MHOM/CN/89/GS5. We concluded that: (1) Chinese Leishmania isolates are non-monophyly group; (2) an unclassified group may exist in China, and the most relative species to this group is L. tarentolae; (3) MHOM/CN/84/JS1, which was previously assigned as L. donovani, was most genetically related to L. tropica strain MHOM/SU/74/K27.

Based on mark-recapture data, we studied the postnatal growth of Marshall's horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus marshalli) in Hekou County, Yunnan Province, China. Our results detected no significant differences both in body mass and in forearm length between males and females at birth. On average, young bats were not agile fliers until 31 days of age. Body mass and forearm length of pups followed a linear pattern of growth until day 13, with mean growth rates of 0.17 g/day and 1.22 mm/day, respectively, and thereafter growth rates decreased. Length of the total epiphyseal gap of the fourth metacarpal-phalangeal joint showed a linear increase up to 10 days followed by a linear decrease until day 40 with a mean rate of 0.09 mm/day. Together, two equations permitted estimation of the age of R. marshalli pups between 1 and 40 days of age. Of the three nonlinear growth models (logistic, Gompertz, and von Bertalanffy), the logistic equation provided the best fit to the empirical curves for body mass and forearm length.
