We present interesting application of artificial intelligence for investigating effect of the COVID-19 lock-down on 3-dimensional temperature variation across Nigeria(2°-15° E,4°-14° N),in equatorial Africa.Artificial neural networks were trained to learn time-series temperature variation patterns using radio occultation measurements of atmospheric temperature from the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology,Ionosphere,and Climate(COSMIC).Data used for training,validation and testing of the neu-ral networks covered period prior to the lockdown.There was also an investigation into the viability of solar activity indicator(represented by the sunspot number)as an input for the process.The results indi-cated that including the sunspot number as an input for the training did not improve the network pre-diction accuracy.The trained network was then used to predict values for the lockdown period.Since the network was trained using pre-lockdown dataset,predictions from the network are regarded as expected temperatures,should there have been no lockdown.By comparing with the actual COSMIC measurements during the lockdown period,effects of the lockdown on atmospheric temperatures were deduced.In overall,the mean altitudinal temperatures rose by about 1.1℃above expected values during the lockdown.An altitudinal breakdown,at 1 km resolution,reveals that the values were typically below 0.5℃at most of the altitudes,but exceeded 1℃at 28 and 29 km altitudes.The temperatures were also observed to drop below expected values at altitudes of 0-2 km,and 17-20 km.

在全球经济发展一体化背景下,国际茶叶贸易联系形成复杂的网络关系.基于复杂网络分析方法,对1987-2019年的全球茶叶贸易网络进行动态分析,重点探究网络系统的结构特征、重要节点和贸易线变化以及我国茶叶出口市场的格局演变,以期更好把握全球茶叶贸易网络变化,为促进我国茶叶贸易提供有益借鉴.研究发现:1)全球茶叶产量和贸易量稳定增长,贸易网络联系日趋紧密,但国际茶叶贸易竞争更加激烈.2)肯尼亚、中国、斯里兰卡、印度、印度尼西亚、阿根廷和马拉维是全球主要的茶叶出口国家,英国、俄罗斯、巴基斯坦、美国、埃及、伊朗和阿
空间人本主义强调城市空间开发的现实需求导向,人口老龄化背景下城市休闲绿地空间的营造需要切实解决适老性短板问题.以苏州市虎丘湿地公园为例,基于空间—行为互动理论,将“公共空间—公共生活”PSPL调研法与空间句法应用于城市休闲绿地步行空间适老性仿真模拟及优化重构.结果表明:1)基于生理和心理特征,老年人群体对城市休闲绿地步行空间具有选择性;2)绿地步行空间网络整合度与老年人群体分布和活动类型高度相关,整合度数值越高,老年人群体聚集程度越高,活动类型以社交集聚型为主;3)绿地步行空间视域的开合影响老年人群体的流
