On August 7 and 8, 2010, a catastrophic debris flow disaster occurred in Zhouqu County in northwestern China’s Gansu Province. The large-scale debris flow event destroyed more than 200 buildings, killing approximately 1,700 people. Field investigations showed that the debris flow disaster was...

During the process of urbanization and industrialization, groundwater has been extensively overexploited, with the direct result of continuously decreasing groundwater level, followed by the appearance of large scale of depression cones, which is furthermore followed by land subsidence, seawater...

Nonlocal effects on the energy conversion efficiency of the second-harmonic generation (SHG) for a p-polarized incident field in a Pöschl-Teller quantum well (PTQW) are investigated in detail. The numerical results show that the spatial distribution of the second-harmonic field is nonuniform,...
