Observation of plasma dynamics in a theta pinch by a novel method by Zhao Wang, Rui Cheng, Guodong Wang, Xuejian Jin, Yong Tang, Yanhong Chen, Zexian Zhou, Lulin Shi, Yuyu Wang, Yu Lei, Xiaoxia Wu, Jie Yang

“…A novel experimental method is proposed for observing plasma dynamics subjected to magnetic fields based on a newly developed cylindrical theta-pinch device. By measuring simultaneously the temporal profiles of multiple parameters including the drive current, luminosity, plasma density, and plasma temperature, it provides a basis for observing the plasma dynamics of the theta pinch, such as shock transport and magnetohydrodynamic instability. …”

Ecological Security Patterns at Different Spatial Scales on the Loess Plateau by Liangguo Lin, Xindong Wei, Pingping Luo, Shaini Wang, Dehao Kong, Jie Yang

“…When taken as a whole unit, we identified 58 ecological sources (areas with higher levels of ecosystem services) on the Loess Plateau (total area of 57,948.48 km²), along with 134 corridors (total length of 14,094.32 km), 1325 pinch points (total area of 315.01 km²), and 2406 barrier points (total area of 382.50 km²). …”
