The famous claim that we only use about 10% of the brain capacity has recently been challenged. Researchers argue that we are likely to use the whole brain, against the 10% claim. Some evidence and results from relevant studies and experiments related to memory in the field of neuroscience lead to the conclusion that if the rest 90% of the brain is not used, then many neural pathways will degenerate. What is memory? How does the brain function? What would be the limit of memory capacity? This article provides a model established upon the physiological and neurological characteristics of the human brain, which can give some theoretical support and scientific explanation to explain some phenomena. It may not only have theoretically significance in neuroscience, but can also be practically useful to fill in the gap between the natural and machine intelligence.
Based on the one-dimensional channel conservancy model, this paper considers the factor of urban pipe network drainage, and couples the pipe network model with the one-dimensional channel conservancy model to fully analyse the interaction between the channel water level and the drainage pipe network displacement. Taking a coastal city as an example, the model simulation results show that when the water level of the river is high, it will cause the drainage of the pipe network; the lower part of the terrain will become waterlogged because of the aging of the urban pipe and rainstorm. It is impossible to effectively solve the problem of flood control and drainage by widening the river channel. It is necessary to adopt the coordinated improvement of the pipe network and the river channel to achieve effective targets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
