Article Abstract
Natural rivers exhibit complex and dynamic flow conditions that significantly influence the survival and development of semi-buoyant fish eggs. This study investigated the effects of flow velocities and turbulence on silver carp eggs (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) during their development. Laboratory experiments conducted in an annular flume revealed that moderate flow conditions (0.5 m/s) yielded optimal hatching rates, while excessive velocities (1.1 m/s) led to complete mortality at the Late Blastula stage. Mild turbulence facilitated egg incubation, whereas intense turbulence reduced hatching success and increased larvae deformation rates. These findings revealed distinct relationship between hydrodynamic conditions and embryonic development, indicating that optimal spawning conditions differ from those required for successful hatching. These results provide fundamental insights for evaluating suitable hydraulic conditions in river habitats and assessing the potential impacts of hydraulic structures on fish populations. The study contributes valuable knowledge to river ecosystem management, semi-buoyant fish species conservation, and fish-friendly hydraulic structure design.

As a critical component in hydropower systems, the Hydraulic Turbine Regulation System (HTRS) exhibits strong coupling characteristics that impose substantial challenges on control system design, necessitating the development of high-performance control strategies. To address the complex control requirements, this paper proposes an improved T-S fuzzy modeling method based on the Luenberger observer theory. It constructs a system model that combines high accuracy and simplicity.

In alpine meadow regions, macropore flow is a critical but inadequately understood pathway for antibiotic transport. The complex relationship between macropore structure, flow dynamics, and solute properties presents a significant research gap. Methodological limitations hinder the accurate characterization of solute migration mechanisms due to complex macropore structures.

Large-scale underground coal mining alters regional water cycles, yet the mechanisms governing interactions among water bodies in deep mining areas are poorly understood. For this purpose, by integrating hydrogen and oxygen isotopes, water levels, hydrogeological conditions, and end-member mixing analysis (EMMA), this study systematically analyzed and quantified the circulation and transformation mechanisms among different water bodies influenced by coal mining. Key findings reveal: (1) Mining-induced fractures disrupt the aquitard above the coal seam, establishing a direct hydraulic link between Zhiluo Formation confined groundwater and mine water, with the former contributing 87.

Leaves constitute a vital bottleneck in whole-plant water transport, and their water strategies are key determinants of plant competition and productivity. Nonetheless, our knowledge of leaf water strategies predominantly stems from single perspectives (i.e.

To cope with heat and water stress, evergreen and deciduous species from hot and arid deserts should adjust their stomatal conductance ( ) and leaf water potential (Ψ) regulation in response to changes in soil water availability, high temperatures, and vapour pressure deficits (VPDs). To test whether phenology induces changes in -Ψ coordination, we tested for associations between 14 leaf traits involved in leaf economics, hydraulics, and stomatal regulation, including minimum seasonal water potential (Ψ) and maximum ( ), turgor loss point (Ψ), osmotic potential (Ψ), leaf area (LA), and specific leaf area (SLA), across 12 tree species from the Sonoran Desert with contrasting phenology. We found that foliar phenology, leaf hydraulics, and leaf economic traits are coordinated across species and organized along the axis of physiological efficiency and safety in response to temperature and VPD.
