Influenced by meteorological and environmental factors, ice flood is easy to occur in cold areas, causing the flood level to rise substantially and threatening the safety of embankments. Based on the analysis of the influencing factors of the seepage of the dike in the cold region, the seepage simulation model of the dike is constructed and solved by the SEEP/W module of Geo-studio software. The seepage of the Dike Section in the ice flood season and non-ice flood season under the scenario of 100-year flood level is compared and analyzed. The results show that, (1) The seepage path of non-ice flood dike mainly passes through the base layer of the dike, and the seepage path of the dike is affected by the frozen shell during the ice flood season, and the seepage path of the dike mainly passes through the frozen shell. (2) The maximum velocity of Dike Seepage in the season of ice flood is higher than that in non-ice flood season, which is easy to cause piping and collapse. (3) the maximum gradient of the embankment during the flood season has also increased, exceeding the allowable slope value of the project. During the season of ice flood, the embankment is unstable, and the embankment protection should be strengthened during the flood season.

Mechanisms Of Plasticity

AbstractReductionist thinking in neuroscience is manifest in the widespread use of animal models of neuropsychiatric disorders. Broader investigations of diverse behaviors in non-model organisms and longer-term study of the mechanisms of plasticity will yield fundamental insights into the neurobiological, developmental, genetic, and environmental factors contributing to the “massively multifactorial system networks” which go awry in mental disorders.

Abstract The global prevalence of obesity has been rising at an alarming rate, accompanied by an increase in both childhood and maternal obesity. The concept of metabolic programming is highly topical, and in this context, describes a predisposition of offspring of obese mothers to the development of obesity independent of environmental factors. Research published in this issue of Clinical Science conducted by Litzenburger and colleagues (Clin. Sci. (Lond.) (2020) 134, 921–939) have identified sex-dependent differences in metabolic programming and identify putative signaling pathways involved in the differential phenotype of adipose tissue between males and females. Delineating the distinction between metabolically healthy and unhealthy obesity is a topic of emerging interest, and the precise nature of adipocytes are key to pathogenesis, independent of adipose tissue volume.

Full Participation

The World Health Organization's (WHO's) 2001 International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF) has as one of its central tenets the full inclusion of persons with disabilities in society. It acknowledges the need for medical and rehabilitation intervention in its biopscychosocial framework. However, the WHO realizes that society must do its part to facilitate this full participation and empowerment. Persons with complex communication needs (PWCCN) often need augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) in order to express themselves. However, in order to access and successfully use AAC, PWCCN need access to the necessary AAC devices and services, as well as a willing society to interact with them as full contributing members of society. The factors outside of a person's specific physical and/or cognitive functional limitations are addressed in the ICF via the Personal and Environmental Factors. Personal Factors include the individual's personality traits, lifestyle, experiences, social/educational/professional background, race, gender, and age. Environmental Factors include community support systems, social service agencies, governments, social networks, and those persons that interact with the PWCCN. This article addresses the sociopolitical influences on PWCCN and their functioning from a human rights perspective. The necessary introspective role of speech-language pathologists in this process is explored.
