The paper used the location entropy index, spatial gini coefficient and barycenter model to analyze the temporal and spatial changes of Chinese animal husbandry industry agglomeration from 2002 to 2021. On this basis, the fixedeffects model was constructed to explore the influencing factors of the animal husbandry industry agglomeration. The results showed that from 2002 to 2021, the agglomeration degree of Chinese animal husbandry industry exhibited a continuous upward trend. The focus of the animal husbandry industry agglomeration had been concentrated in Henan and Sichuan for a long time. The animal husbandry industry gradually gathered from the eastern to the central region. The technology input, industry correlation, economic development level and policy environment all had a positive impact on the animal husbandry industry agglomeration, while the number of labor force had no significant impact on the animal husbandry industry agglomeration. Therefore, the paper puts forward some suggestions to accelerate the clustered development of animal husbandry industry, stimulate the shift of high-qualitanimal husbandry industry elements to the centralregion, and strengthen the policy support for the animal husbandry industry agglomeration, so as to provide a reference for promoting the high-quality development of animal husbandry industry.

【Objective】 The present paper aimed to investigate the comprehensive effects of irrigation amount on soil enzyme activity, yield, quality and nutrient utilization of pepper in Sichuan Basin, and propose an appropriate irrigation amount. 【Method】 The pepper variety of Xingshuzhoula 3 was used as the experiment material. Four irrigation amount treatments were set, and the soil volumetric moisture content was controlled respectively at 35%-40% (T1), 45%-50% (T2), 55%-60% (T3), 65%-70% (T4). The soil urease, neutral phosphatase, sucrase β-Glucosidase activity and catalase activity such as yield, quality, and plant N, P, K content of peppers were determined. The interrelationship between the indicators was analyzed. 【Result】 The soil enzyme activities increased with the increase of irrigation amount. The soil urease, neutral phosphatase, sucrase, β-glucosidase and catalase activities of T4 were the highest, and the activities of some enzymes were not significantly different from those of T3.Compared with T1, the increases were 48.80%, 28.70%, 45.60%, 100.87% and 102.58%, respectively. With the increase of irrigation amount, pepper yield also increased, T4 increased by 29.05% compared with T1, and there was no significant difference in pepper yield between T3 and T4.The content of vitamin C and capsaicin in peppers decreased gradually with the increase of irrigation water, but the content of soluble sugar in peppers increased with the increase of irrigation water. The amount of irrigation increased the total accumulation of nutrients (N, P and K), the physiological use efficiency of N and K and the partial fertilizer productivity in pepper fruits and shoots. Except that the physiological utilization efficiency of P was lower than that of T4, the other nutrient utilization parameters of T3 were not significantly different from those of T4, and the physiological utilization efficiency of K was even significantly higher than that of T4.【Conclusion】When the irrigation amount is 4392-4733 t/hm² (T3 and T4), the soil enzyme activity, yield and nutrient utilization rate of pepper are all at high levels. The results of the study provide a theoretical and practical reference for the selection of the irrigation amount of facilities pepper in Sichuan Basin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

【Objective】 The study on the change characteristics of cultivated land area and its influence on grain production pattern in key watersheds aims to provide reference for promoting the sustainable use of cultivated land and coordinating the relationship between food security and economic development. 【Method】 Taking 82 counties in key watersheds of Sichuan Province as the research unit, using mathematical quantization model and GIS spatial analysis method, this paper explores the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of cultivated land area and its influence on the change of grain production pattern in the study area in recent 20 years. 【Result】 (1) From 2001 to 2020, the cultivated land area in the key watersheds of Sichuan Province increased by 915,700 hm², with an increase rate of 37.39%, but showed a changing trend of “increase→ basically unchanged→ decrease→ basically unchanged” in different economic development periods. (2) The change of cultivated land area showed a spatial agglomeration state of “high-value cluster area” and “low-value cluster area” in the key watersheds of Sichuan Province, and the changes in quantity of these areas showed an inverted “N” type fluctuation trend in different economic development periods. (3) The spatial transfer types of grain production (grain production transfer out area, grain production transfer into area and grain production stability area) in the key watersheds of Sichuan Province showed a fluctuating trend of increase and decrease in quantity. In general, the area of grain production transferred out and transferred into increased by 13.42% and 13.41%, respectively, and the change trend was basically unchanged. However, the grain production stability area decreased significantly, down by 26.83%, and there was regional degradation in grain production.

This paper summarizes the latest progress of variable viscosity slick water technology in China, analyzes the application of variable viscosity slick water in unconventional gas reservoirs in Sichuan and Chongqing, and puts forward the development direction of variable viscosity slick water. The variable viscosity slick water realizes the real-time switching of low, medium and high viscosity liquids by adjusting the concentration of drag reducer and / or introducing cross-linking agent. The research of drag reducer focuses on the synthesis and performance evaluation of polyacrylamide containing AMPS or SSS salt-tolerant groups and hydrophobic associating polymer, to meet the needs of preparing fracturing flow-back fluid mixing and change viscosity. The research on the performance of variable viscosity slick water mainly focuses on the influence law of viscosity on sand carrying performance, fracture morphology and drag reduction performance, but it is not yet determined what viscosity is suitable for what reservoir. The application of variable viscosity slick water in unconventional gas reservoirs in Sichuan and Chongqing was successful. The overall viscosity in tight gas is higher than that in shale gas, and the sand carrying capacity in deep shale gas needs to be further enhanced. Hydrophobically associating polymer drag reducer and solid drag reducer are the development direction of variable viscosity slick water. It is expected to solve the problems of high frictional resistance of high viscosity liquid and potential environmental risks of emulsion drag reducer. This paper has certain guiding significance for the research and application of variable viscosity slick water. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

【Objective】In recent years, the wheat in Sichuan province is threatened by Fusarium head blight（FHB） or scab as changes in climate and farming practices.The present paper aimed to obtain the genetic resources of resistance to FHB in Sichuan wheat varieties, and breed wheat for resistance to FHB.【Method】In the research, 156 wheat varieties or high-generation lines with moderate resistance to FHB were identified by soil surface inoculation.The resistance gene composition of these wheat varieties was detected by molecular markers of FHB resistance genes Fhb1, Fhb2, Fhb4 and Fhb5, as well as some stripe rust resistance genes and powdery mildew resistance gene.【Result】Through molecular detection of disease resistance genes, it was found that 20yin979 and 20jian2506-10 contained the FHB resistance genes Fhb1 and Fhb5, respectively. For stripe rust resistance genes detection, 4, 63, 9, 3 and 14 wheat materials containing the Yr5, Yr15, Yr18, Yr26 and YrAs2388 were detected, respectively. And the distribution frequencies of rust resistance genes Yr5, Yr15, Yr18, Yr26 and YrAs2388 were 2.56%, 40.38%, 5.77%, 1.92% and 8.97%, respectively. A total of 44 materials containing the powdery mildew resistance gene Pm21 were detected, and the distribution frequency in the tested materials was 28.21%.The distribution of resistance genes showed that 122 materials contained at least one resistance gene.Among them, 6 materials contained both strip rust and powdery mildew resistance genes, 9 materials contained 2 strip rust resistance genes, and the remaining 106 materials contained only 1 resistance gene. The only material 20jian2506-10 contained three resistance genes of FHB, stripe rust and powdery mildew.【Conclusion】These results indicate that Sichuan wheat lacks FHB resistance resources with explicit genetic background.Therefore, Sichuan wheat FHB resistance breeding should strengthen the introduction of known resistance resources while making full use of the local FHB resistance resources.

Objectives: The position time series of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) contain rich tectonic and non-tectonic deformation information, and the complex components are difficult to accurately model and effectively separate non-tectonic information. It is very important to remove the non-tectonic de‐ formation information for the accurate and effective application of the observation data. Methods: Empirical mode decomposition （EMD） is an adaptive time-frequency processing method to correct the period term of time series at 24 GNSS continuous stations and 2 mobile stations in Sichuan Province and Yunnan Province. Results: The results show that the correction of the period term is necessary, and the EMD method can ex‐ tract the different frequency and amplitude period components adaptively according to its own characteristics of signal at each station. Compared with the original time series, the average root mean square error after correction is reduced significantly in N, E and U directions. And EMD method is more accurate and effective than harmonic model modification. We use the modified continuous station time series to simulate the mobile observations, and find that relatively reliable motion velocities can be obtained after an observation period of 5 ‐6 years. The stability and reliability of EMD method are verified by correcting the period term of the mobile station with the actual continuous observation station at a close distance. Conclusions: This paper provides a reference and theoretical basis for the implementation of mobile GNSS observation and the correction of observation data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

When the daily average water temperature exceeds 32℃, the hatching rate and feeding rate of some warm water fish decrease with the increase of temperature, grow slowly or stop growing, and are easy to induce diseases. In summer, the water temperature in the fish pond is not always in the high temperature period. In this paper, based on the water and air temperature data of Fushun Aquaculture Meteorological Service Test Base from 2017 to 2019, the variation characteristics of water temperature in each layer of fish pond in summer were analyzed, and the prediction models of average and maximum water temperature on the sunny days were established by stepwise regression analysis. Results showed that the daily max. water temperature in each layer in summer occurs from 18:00 to 19:00, which lagged behind the temperature by 1-3 hours. The period when the water temperature ≥32℃ was mainly concentrated from 16:00 to 22:00, and the hourly average water temperature of each layer in this period was 32.9-33.1℃, 32.6-32.7℃ and 32.1-32.3℃, respectively. The water temperature of each layer fluctuated and rose with the temperature in summer, especially from mid-June to early-July, while the maximum values of temperature and water temperature appeared in late-July. The average number of days with water temperature ≥32℃ in summer was 23 days, accounting for a quarter of the whole summer, mainly from late July to mid-August. During this period, the daily average water temperature of each layer was 28.5-34.4℃, 28.2-34.1℃ and 27.9-33.9℃, respectively. The back substitution test in 2017-2018 and the forecast test in 2019 showed that the average absolute error of the model was 0.3-0.8℃, and the average relative error was within 2.6%, indicating that the model has good prediction effect and can be better applied to the prediction of fish pond water temperature in summer.

【Objective】 The present paper aimed to study the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of low-temperature continuous rain disasters in rice during the heaving-heading stage in Sichuan province, in order to provide scientific basis for disaster prevention and reduction of low-temperature continuous rain disasters in rice at different growth stages in Sichuan province. 【Method】 According to the topographic and geomorphic types of Sichuan province, the rice planting regions were divided into six regions, namely, the marginal mountain region around the basin, the parallel range-valley region in the east of the basin, the hilly region in the south of the basin, the shallow hilly region in the middle of the basin, the flat hill region in the west of the basin and the mountainous region in the southwest of Sichuan. Based on the data of daily mean temperature, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, precipitation and sunshine duration of 21 agricultural meteorological stations in Sichuan province from 1961 to 2020, the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of low-temperature continuous rain during the period of rice starting from heading to heading were analyzed by using statistical analysis method combined with evaluation indexes of low-temperature continuous rain. 【Result】 (i) The frequency of mild, moderate and severe cold damage of rice during booting and heading stage in Sichuan province was as follows: 0%-32.5%, 0%-44.8% and 0%-50.3%, and the large values were all in the southwest Mountain area of Sichuan. Although the occurrence frequency of mild and moderate cold damage was relatively low, the distribution area of mild cold damage was the widest, followed by moderate cold damage, and the distribution area of severe cold damage was the smallest, only in the southwest Mountain area of Sichuan. (ii) The frequency of mild, moderate and severe continuous rain disasters were 0.4%-3.8%, 0%-5.2% and 0%-0.5%, respectively. (iii) The frequency of low-temperature continuous rain disasters was 0%-9.1% from 1961 to 2020, 0%-9.1% from 1991 to 2000, and 0%-3.3% from 1961 to 1970. (iv) From 1961 to 2020, the frequency of low temperature cold damage and low temperature continuous rain disaster passed the significance test of 0.05 over time, showing a decreasing trend. The frequency of continuous rain disaster did not change significantly with time and did not pass the morphological significance test of 0.05. 【Conclusion】 The frequency of low-temperature continuous rain disaster was high in the mountainous area of southwest Sichuan. In Sichuan province, the continuous low temperature rain disaster of rice during booting and heading stage showed a decreasing trend in recent years, which was consistent with the results of the reduction of low temperature cold damage and continuous rain disaster under the background of climate warming.

[Objective]The present paper aimed to understand the cold tolerance of sugarcane main parents and the change characteristics of cold tolerance evaluation related traits, and to provide reference for breeding cold tolerance sugarcane varieties and reducing the harm of frost to sugarcane production. [Method] A total of 102 parents were selected for natural frost test in 5 crops consisted of two plant cane( 2017P and 2019P) and 3-year ratoon crops(2018F, 2019S and 2020F) during 2017-2020 in Zizhong, Sichuan, a frost prone area. The correlation analysis, variance analysis, calculation of broad sense heritability and cluster classification were processed. [Result] It was found that there were differences in the types and degree of cold damaged traits among parents under low temperature environments, and ratoon cane was more vulnerable than plant cane. The damaged traits were significantly ( P < 0. 05 ) correlated with some agronomic characters under cold or light frost. The performance of damaged traits was affected by parent, year and their interaction. The damage rate of plant was a high heritability trait, which can be used to evaluate cold tolerance under cold and light frost. The damage rate of stalk length and internode were medium heritability traits, which were less affected by low temperature environments, and can be used to evaluate cold tolerance, and the damage rate of internode was slightly better than that of stalk length. The percentage of green leaves varies greatly among years, which can be used for cold tolerance evaluation under light or moderate frost. The percentage of parental variance decreased, and the heritability also decreased when combined data from different trials were used for variance analysis. Cluster classification showed that trials plant crops in 2017 and 2019 were not suitable for the evaluation of cold tolerance of parents. Among the tested parents, 58. 89% of the parents were identified as good or better cold tolerance and 23. 53 % as poor or poorer.[Conclusion] There are differences in the types and degree of cold damaged traits among parents under low temperature environments, and the cold tolerance of sugarcane belongs to medium to high heritability. The traits that can be used for cold tolerance evaluation are affected by the degree of low temperature. Mild and severe low temperature stress should be set for indoor cold tolerance test.

As a major institutional innovation in the practice of the green development concept, the energy‑consuming transaction system is a major measure to promote the reform of the ecological civilization system. The implementation of the energy‑consuming transaction system is important for improving energy utilization efficiency and achieving ‘dual control’ of energy consumption and intensity. Using the energy‑consuming transaction system pilots as an entry point, and based on the panel data from 30 provinces in China from 2006 to 2019, this paper used the difference‑in‑differences method to examine the impact and mechanism of energy‑consuming transaction system on energy efficiency. The research results showed that the energy‑consuming transaction system could significantly improve energy utilization efficiency. Specifically, it could reduce the energy consumption per unit of GDP in the pilot provinces by 5.78%. The mechanism test showed that the energy‑consuming transaction system mainly improved energy utilization efficiency by promoting green technology innovation. Heterogeneity analysis showed that the energy‑consuming transaction system would have a diminishing effect on energy utilization efficiency along with the energy saving potential. The energy ‑consuming transaction system could play a significant role in promoting the energy utilization efficiency of Henan and Sichuan, while the impact on Zhejiang and Fujian was not significant. In addition, this article also found that the energy‑consuming transaction system had environmental dividends, which could effectively reduce sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide emissions while promoting energy efficiency. After parallel trend test, structural breakpoint test, PSM‑DID, placebo test, and other robustness tests, the conclusion of this article was still valid. This study has the following implications: In the process of building the energy‑consuming transaction market, it is necessary to promptly summarize the pilot experience, gradually expand the piloting scope, constantly improve the regulatory mechanism to reduce institutional transaction costs, promote efficient energy allocation and rational use, and at the same time, adhere to local conditions and set out to formulate and implement supporting measures for energy‑consuming transactions with local characteristics.

[Objective] The present paper aimed to analyze the main factors affecting the yield of Brassica napus L in different regions of Sichuan province, so as to provide theoretical basis for breeding B. napus L. varieties suitable for different rapeseed producing areas in Sichuan province. [Method] Variation analysis, correlation analysis and path analysis were used to analyze the relationship between the agronomic characters and the yield of B. napus L . [Result] In Xindu, Deyang and Dazhou regions, the most variation of agronomic trait was the first branch numbers. The value was the number of seeds per siliquain Chongzhou and Mianyang regions. It was the number of effective siliqua per plant in Nanchang, Yibin, Jianyang, and Leshan regions. The least variation of agronomic traits was the plant hight, in the Xindu, Chongzhou, Jianyang, Mianyang, and Deyang regions. It was 1000-seed weight, in the Nanchang, Yibin, Leshan, and Dazhou regions. The yield of Xindu region was significant or highly significant negative correlated with the first branch numbers and the number of effective siliqua per plant But, it was significant positive correlated with the plant hight and the number of seeds per siliqua. The yield of Nanchang region was significant or highly significant positive correlated with the plant hight, the first branch numbers, and the number of effective siliqua per plant. The yield of Yibin region was highly significant positive correlated with the plant hight. The yield of Jianyang region was significant or highly significant positive correlated with the number of effective siliqua per plant and the number of seeds per siliqua. But, it was highly significant negative correlated with the 1000-seed weight. The yield of Leshan region was significant positive correlated with the number of effective siliqua per plant. There was no significant correlation between yield and main agronomic traits in Mianyang, Deyang, and Dazhou region. In Xindu region, the greatest direct path coefficient and the greatest comprehensive effects were respectively the number of seeds per siliqua and the the number of effective siliqua per plant. Those were both the number of seeds per siliqua in Chongzhou region. In Nanchong and Jianyang regions, the greatest direct path coefficient and the greatest comprehensive effects were respectively the number of seeds per siliqua and the 1000-seed weight. Those values were respectively the number of effective siliqua per plant and the first branch numbers in both Mianyang and Dazhou regions. In Deyang region, the greatest direct path coefficient and the greatest comprehensive effects were both the number of effective siliqua per plant. [Conclusion] There were differences in the coefficient of variation of main agronomic traits of B. napus L in different producing areas of Sichuan province, and there were differences in correlation with yield. The effects of yield components on yield should be fully considered in breeding, as well as the comprehensive effects of other traits. The present study provides a scientific basis for breeding B. napus L varieties suitable for different regions of Sichuan province. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BACKGROUND: How to achieve satisfactory reduction quickly, minimally invasively and effectively is difficult in the operation of irreducible intertrochanteric femoral fracture. Fracture classification helps to formulate a reasonable reduction plan before surgery, but a simple and feasible classification of irreducible intertrochanteric femoral fracture is still lacking currently. OBJECTIVE: To explore the classification and reduction strategy of irreducible intertrochanteric femoral fracture based on anatomy. METHODS: The clinical data of 531 patients with irreducible intertrochanteric fracture treated in Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences & Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital from June 2006 to May 2020 were analyzed retrospectively, including 187 males and 344 females, at the age of 60-101 years old. According to whether the greater trochanter/lesser trochanter was connected to the proximal end of the fracture, the irreducible intertrochanteric fractures were divided into type I (proximal free), type II (greater trochanter connected), type III (lesser trochanter connected), and type IV (both greater and lesser trochanters connected). Periosteum stripper, hemostatic forceps and/or bone hook were used to assist the reduction, and InterTan or proximal femoral nail anti-rotation was used for internal fixation. X-ray films were taken during postoperative follow-up to assess the quality of fracture reduction and fracture healing. At the last follow-up, the patient’s hip function recovery was assessed by Harris score. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Among the 531 cases of irreducible femoral intertrochanteric fractures, the types I, II, III, and IV were 357, 87, 13, and 74 cases respectively, and 489 cases (92.1%) achieved satisfactory reduction. (2) Of the 531 patients, 26 were lost to follow-up, and 23 died of pneumonia, heart failure and other causes before the fracture healing. 482 patients were followed up for more than one year, and all fractures healed with an average time of 4.7 months. (3) During the postoperative follow-up, there was no adverse event related to internal fixation materials. (4) At the last follow-up, the Harris score of 482 patients was 95.7±4.8, of which 433 cases (89.8%) had excellent evaluation results. (5) These results confirm that for irreducible intertrochanteric fractures, satisfactory reduction and hip joint function can be obtained by adopting our classification and reduction techniques.
