In the title compound, [Pd(C(37)H(55)P(2)Si)Cl], the Pd atom has a distorted square-planar geometry. The two five-membered rings adopt envelope conformations, while the four cyclo-hexane rings have chair conformations. The two planar aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 28.79 (3)°.
In the title compound, [BaCl(C(12)H(24)O(6))(H(2)O)(3)]Cl, the Ba(II) atom, the coordinating and free Cl(-) anions, one coordinating water mol-ecule and two O atoms of an 18-crown-6 mol-ecule lie on a mirror plane. The environment of the ten-coordinate Ba(2+) ion is defined by one Cl atom, three water mol-ecules and six O atoms from the macrocyclic ether. The macrocycle adopts a conformation with an approximate D(3d) symmetry. In the crystal, O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the complex cations and Cl(-) anions into a two-dimensional network parallel to (010). An intra-molecular O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bond is also present.

Previous studies have shown that the mechanical effects of vegetation roots on slope stability can be classified as additional cohesion effects and anchorage effects. The present study investigated the combined mechanical effects (additional cohesion effects and anchorage effects) of vegetation on a slope with coarse-grained soil in the mountainous region (significantly prone to slope failure) of Gansu Province, China. A detailed survey of tree density, root system morphology and slope profiles was conducted, and we also assessed the soil cohesion provided by the root systems of monospecific stands of Robinia pseudoacacia growing in different locations on the slope. The measured data were incorporated into a numerical slope model to calculate the stability of the slope under the influence of trees. The results indicated that it was necessary to consider the anchoring effect of coarse roots when estimating the mechanical effects of trees on slope stability. In particular, the FoS (factor of safety) of the slope was increased by the presence of trees. The results also demonstrated that vegetation increased slope stability. The reinforcing effects were most significant when the trees were planted along the entire slope. Although the reinforcing effects contributed by trees were limited (only 4–11%), they were essential for making optimal use of vegetation for enhancing slope stability. Overall, vegetation development can make a major contribution to ecosystem restoration in the study region.
In this paper, the general reliability design process of the cross-sectional dimension of the support ring is introduced, which is used for the cylinder sealing. Then, taking a certain section shape support ring as an example, the every size parameters of section are determined from the view point of reliability design. Last, the static strength and reliability of the support ring are analyzed to verify the correctness of the reliability design result.
Carbon storage of mountain forests is vulnerable to climate change but the changes in carbon flux through time are poorly understood. Moreover, the relative contributions to carbon flux of drivers such as climate and atmospheric CO2 still have significant uncertainties. We used the dynamic model LPJ-GUESS with climate data from twelve meteorological stations in the Qilian Mountains, China to simulate changes in carbon mass of a montane boreal forest, and the influence of temperature, precipitation, and CO2 concentration from 1964 to 2013 on carbon flux. The results showed that the carbon mass has increased 1.202 kg/m2 from 1964 to 2013, and net primary productivity (NPP) ranged from 0.997 to 1.122 kg/m2/year. We concluded that the highest carbon mass proportion for this montane boreal forest was at altitudes 2700–3100 m (proportion of ecosystem carbon was between 93–97%), with maximum carbon density observed at 2700–2900 m. In the last 50 years, the increase in precipitation and in CO2 concentration is expected to increase carbon mass and NPP of Picea crassifolia Kom. (Pinaceae) (Qinghai spruce). The effect of temperature on NPP was positive but that on carbon mass was not clear. The increase in CO2 concentration over the past 50 years was a major contributor to the increase in carbon storage, and drought was the foremost limiting factor in carbon storage capacity of this montane boreal forest. Picea crassifolia forest was vulnerable to climate change. Further studies need to focus on the impact of extreme weather, especially drought, on carbon storage in Picea crassifolia forests.
