The reservoir quality of the Jurassic Ahe Formation is controlled by sedimentation, diagenesis, and tectonics, and show complex pore structure and strong heterogeneity, thereby hindering effective natural gas exploration and development. Core, thin sections, cathodoluminescence (CL), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), conventional well logs and image logs are used to characterize the petrological characteristics and pore systems. Then a comprehensive analysis integrating sedimentation, diagenesis, and tectonics is performed to unravel the reservoir formation mechanism and distribution of reservoir quality. Results show that reservoir properties are generally environmentally selective. Coarse grained sandbodies (gravelly sandstones) formed in high depositional-energy have the best physical properties, while fine sandstone and mudstone with low depositional energy is easily to be tightly compacted, and have poor reservoir quality. Porosity usually decreases with compaction and cementation, and increases due to dissolution. Clay minerals filling pores result in a deterioration of the pore structure. Microfracture formed by fracturing can connect the matrix pores, effectively improving the reservoirs’ permeability. The differential distribution of fractures and in-situ stress plays an important role in modifying reservoir quality. The in-situ stress has obvious control over the matrix physical properties and fracture effectiveness. The matrix physical properties are negatively correlated with the value of horizontal stress difference (Δσ). As the value of Δσ increases, the pore structure becomes more complex, and the macroscopic reservoir quality becomes poor. The smaller the strike divergence between the natural fracture and SHmax, the lower the value of Δσ in the fracture layers is, and the better the fracture effectiveness is. Under the control of ternary factors on the reservoir, sedimentation-diagenesis jointly affect the matrix reservoir quality, while fractures and in-situ stress caused by tectonism affect the permeability and hydrocarbon productivity of the reservoir. Affected by ternary factors, reservoir quality and hydrocarbon productivity show obvious differences within the various structural location. Reservoir quality in tight sandstones can be predicted by integrating sedimentation, diagenesis, and tectonics (fracture and in-situ stress) in a compressional tectonic setting like Kuqa Depression. The research results will provide insights into the efficient exploration of oil and gas in Kuqa Depression as well as similar compressional tectonic settings elsewhere.展开更多

However, limited study is performed on utilizing geochemical data and well log data to evaluate coaly hydrocarbon source rocks. In this study, geochemical data and well log data are selected from two key wells to conduct an evaluation of coaly hydrocarbon source rocks of Jurassic Kezilenuer Formation in Kuqa Depression of Tarim Basin. Initially, analysis was focused on geochemical parameters to assess organic matter type, source rock quality, and hydrocarbon generation potential.Lithology types of source rocks include mudstone, carbonaceous mudstone and coal. The predominant organic matter type identified was Type Ⅲ and Type Ⅱ_(2), indicating a favorable hydrocarbon generation potential. Well log data are integrated to predict total organic carbon(TOC) content, and the results indicate that multiple regression method is effective in predicting TOC of carbonaceous mudstone and coal. However, the ΔlgR method exhibited limited predictive capability for mudstone source rock.Additionally, machine learning methods including multilayer perceptron neural network(MLP), random forest(RF), and extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost) techniques are employed to predict TOC of mudstone source rock. The XGBoost performs best in TOC prediction with correlation coefficient(R2) of 0.9517, indicating a close agreement between measured and predicted TOC values. This study provides a reliable prediction method of coaly hydrocarbon source rocks through machine learning methods, and will provide guidance for resource assessment.展开更多

Although several anti-HBV drugs have been used clinically, their side and adverse effects limit treatment efficacy. Therefore, it is necessary to identify novel potential anti-HBV agents. The flavonol quercetin has shown activity against some retroviruses, but its effect on HBV remains unclear. In the present study, quercetin was incubated with Hep G2.2.15 cells, as well as Hu H-7 cells transfected with an HBV plasmid. Quercetin was shown to significantly reduce Hepatitis B surface antigen(HBs Ag) and Hepatitis B e antigen(HBe Ag), secretion and HBV genomic DNA levels in both cell lines. In addition, co-incubation with lamivudine(3TC), entecavir(ETV), or adefovir(Ade) further enhanced the quercetin-induced inhibition of HBV replication. This inhibition was partially associated with decreased heat shock proteins and HBV transcription levels. The results indicate that quercetin inhibited HBV antigen secretion and genome replication in human hepatoma cell lines, which suggests that quercetin may be a potentially effective anti-HBV agent.展开更多

文摘A numerical method to predict the bursting strength of filament wound composite rocket motor case is proposed here.This method can evaluate the longitudinal stress evolution of each composite layer as impregnated filaments with fiber tension are wound layer by layer,and consider the effects of accumulated stress and deformation during filament winding on the bursting strength of composite case.Taking∅520 mm composite cases as a case study,the filament-winding-process-induced stress and deformation as well as progressive damage behavior are numerically predicted,followed by a comparison with experimental results.The numerical results show that the predicted bursting pressures for composite cases manufactured on the mandrels with and without a flexible component are 14.20 MPa and 21.40 MPa,respectively.These values exhibit slight deviation from the measured pressures of 13.50 MPa and 21.57 MPa.Moreover,the predicted damage locations,situated respectively in the dome and cylinder,agree well with the experimental observation.These observations indicate that use of flexible component reduces the load-bearing capacity of the domes.Furthermore,it validates the reliability and accuracy of the proposed numerical method in predicting the bursting strength of composite cases.

文摘Rational design of electrochemical sulfide oxidation reaction(SOR)catalysts is a prerequisite to fully recycling hydrogen(H_(2))and elemental sulfur(S0)resources,realizing the bridge between environment and energy fields,as well as enlightening the optimization of metal‒sulfur battery applications.While transition metal catalysts often suffer from sulfur poisoning,single-atom catalysts(SACs)offer a promising solution,where the precise coordination environment of metal centers becomes a critical determinant of catalytic performance.Herein,for the first time,we develop a Ni single-atom catalyst for SOR with unique Ni-N_(3)O_(1) coordination anchored on hierarchically porous carbon(Ni1@HPC),which demonstrates remarkable advantages over conventional Ni-N_(4) or Ni-O4 configurations,exhibiting a superior SOR activity(0.37 V vs.RHE at 100 mA·cm^(-2))that surpasses reported carbon-based catalysts and is comparable to most metal-based catalysts.In situ Raman and density functional theory(DFT)results reveal that the HPC facilitates rapid product S0 desorption while the Ni-N3O1 coordination enables appropriate reactant sulfide(S^(2-))adsorption,striking a critical balance between activity and stability that other coordination geometries fail to achieve.Additionally,the practical application of coupling hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)and SOR is realized on Ni1@HPC with low power consumption,which is a promising alternative to the traditional overall water splitting(OWS)process.This work not only establishes a structure–activity relationship for single-atom catalysts in SOR but also provides a general strategy for optimizing metal coordination in electrocatalytic systems.

文摘Coaly source rocks have attracted considerable attention for their significant hydrocarbon generation potential in recent years. However, limited study is performed on utilizing geochemical data and well log data to evaluate coaly hydrocarbon source rocks. In this study, geochemical data and well log data are selected from two key wells to conduct an evaluation of coaly hydrocarbon source rocks of Jurassic Kezilenuer Formation in Kuqa Depression of Tarim Basin. Initially, analysis was focused on geochemical parameters to assess organic matter type, source rock quality, and hydrocarbon generation potential.Lithology types of source rocks include mudstone, carbonaceous mudstone and coal. The predominant organic matter type identified was Type Ⅲ and Type Ⅱ_(2), indicating a favorable hydrocarbon generation potential. Well log data are integrated to predict total organic carbon(TOC) content, and the results indicate that multiple regression method is effective in predicting TOC of carbonaceous mudstone and coal. However, the ΔlgR method exhibited limited predictive capability for mudstone source rock.Additionally, machine learning methods including multilayer perceptron neural network(MLP), random forest(RF), and extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost) techniques are employed to predict TOC of mudstone source rock. The XGBoost performs best in TOC prediction with correlation coefficient(R2) of 0.9517, indicating a close agreement between measured and predicted TOC values. This study provides a reliable prediction method of coaly hydrocarbon source rocks through machine learning methods, and will provide guidance for resource assessment.

文摘On September 5,2022,an M_(S)6.8 earthquake struck Luding County,Kardze Prefecture,Sichuan Province—an area that is particularly vulnerable to geological changes.The earthquake caused considerable damage along the highway,leading to road disruptions and blockages,further isolating earthquake-stricken areas.Accordingly,a rapid survey of the main highways in this area was conducted,and 507 damage points were identified.Roadbed damage accounted for more than 70%of the total damages.Co-seismic disasters were primarily distributed along the highways on both sides of the Dadu River in the reservoir area of the Dagangshan Hydropower Station,Caoke Township,and Detuo Township.Further,six factors under three categories of the spatial distribution of highway damage in the earthquake-stricken areas were analyzed.The rate of highway damage was positively correlated with the seismic intensity but negatively correlated with the fault and river distances.The earthquake intensity had the most significant impact:37.5%of road disruptions were found in areas with an intensity of IX;this percentage was 1.6 and 5.8 times greater than those found in areas with intensities of VIII and VII,respectively.The roads with the most significant damage were in regions with intensities above VIII,faults within 5 km,slopes within 30°–70°,rivers within 100 m,and the presence of granite.This indicated that these factors aggravated highway disruption,resulting in more than 90% of damaged highways in strongly shaken regions.Our findings may provide guidance for efficient highway recovery following earthquakes.

文摘This study examines the grain characteristics,dynamic precipitation phase characteristics,and texture evolution of Mg-Ga-xZn alloys produced through medium-high strain rate rolling.It investigates the impact of Zn on the mechanical and damping properties of Mg-Ga sheet.The addition of Zn reduces the solid solubility of Ga inα-Mg,facilitating dynamic precipitation,grain refinement,and weakening of the basal texture of the sheet,ultimately enhancing strength and damping performance.The yield strength of the sheet initially increases and then decreases with increasing Zn content.The Mg-5Ga-0.6 Zn alloy demonstrates the best overall mechanical properties,with a yield strength,tensile strength,and elongation of 221 MPa,304 MPa,and 28.6%,respectively,primarily attributed to fine-grained strengthening.Damping performance at low strain amplitudes also follows a similar trend with increasing Zn content,with Mg-5Ga-0.6 Zn showing the highest damping values.The study suggests that the decrease in damping performance due to Zn can be linked to the reduced solid solubility of Ga inα-Mg.Specifically,at a strain amplitude of 1×10^(-3),the damping values Q-1 of Mg-5Ga,Mg-5Ga-0.6 Zn,and Mg-5Ga-1.2 Zn alloy sheets are 0.0167,0.0152,and 0.0174,respectively.These findings have implications for the development of bio-implantable magnesium alloys with high damping properties.

文摘Isotropic pyrolytic carbon(IPC)is renowned for its robust mechanical,biological,and tribological prop-erties.However,the current mechanisms for modulating IPC microstructure are insufficient to achieve higher performance.Herein,this study provides nanoscale insights into the formation and property reg-ulation of the core-shell structure of the IPC,integrating simulation and experimental approaches.Large-scale reactive molecular dynamics simulations elucidate the microstructural evolution and assembly pro-cesses from precursors to nanoparticles and intertwined graphene networks.Simulation process charac-terization enable versatile adjustment of IPC microstructural features and one-step deposition of hybrid structures with disordered cores and ordered shell layers.Compared to Pyrolytic carbon(PyC)with lam-inated graphene arrangement,the prepared hybrid structure enables rapid assembly of large-size stan-dalone carbon components.Moreover,the hybrid architecture effectively improves the core-shell phase connection and significantly increases the interfacial shear stress within the intertwined graphene shell layers.Consequently,it greatly improves load transfer efficiency and enhances crack-bridging toughening effect.The endeavor to establish precise microstructure formation and property regulation in IPC materi-als promises to steer high-performance carbon materials toward distinct developmental trajectories.

文摘Many studies have shown that bio-scaffolds have important value for promoting axonal regeneration of injured spinal cord.Indeed,cell transplantation and bio-scaffold implantation are considered to be effective methods for neural regeneration.This study was designed to fabricate a type of three-dimensional collagen/silk fibroin scaffold (3D-CF) with cavities that simulate the anatomy of normal spinal cord.This scaffold allows cell growth in vitro and in vivo.To observe the effects of combined transplantation of neural stem cells (NSCs) and 3D-CF on the repair of spinal cord injury.Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: sham (only laminectomy was performed),spinal cord injury (transection injury of T10 spinal cord without any transplantation),3D-CF (3D scaffold was transplanted into the local injured cavity),and 3D-CF + NSCs (3D scaffold co-cultured with NSCs was transplanted into the local injured cavity.Neuroelectrophysiology,imaging,hematoxylin-eosin staining,argentaffin staining,immunofluorescence staining,and western blot assay were performed.Apart from the sham group,neurological scores were significantly higher in the 3D-CF + NSCs group compared with other groups.Moreover,latency of the 3D-CF + NSCs group was significantly reduced,while the amplitude was significantly increased in motor evoked potential tests.The results of magnetic resonance imaging and diffusion tensor imaging showed that both spinal cord continuity and the filling of injury cavity were the best in the 3D-CF + NSCs group.Moreover,regenerative axons were abundant and glial scarring was reduced in the 3D-CF + NSCs group compared with other groups.These results confirm that implantation of 3D-CF combined with NSCs can promote the repair of injured spinal cord.This study was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of People’s Armed Police Force Medical Center in 2017 (approval No.2017-0007.2).

文摘Hepatitis B virus(HBV) infection is one of the most serious and prevalent viral diseases in the world. Although several anti-HBV drugs have been used clinically, their side and adverse effects limit treatment efficacy. Therefore, it is necessary to identify novel potential anti-HBV agents. The flavonol quercetin has shown activity against some retroviruses, but its effect on HBV remains unclear. In the present study, quercetin was incubated with Hep G2.2.15 cells, as well as Hu H-7 cells transfected with an HBV plasmid. Quercetin was shown to significantly reduce Hepatitis B surface antigen(HBs Ag) and Hepatitis B e antigen(HBe Ag), secretion and HBV genomic DNA levels in both cell lines. In addition, co-incubation with lamivudine(3TC), entecavir(ETV), or adefovir(Ade) further enhanced the quercetin-induced inhibition of HBV replication. This inhibition was partially associated with decreased heat shock proteins and HBV transcription levels. The results indicate that quercetin inhibited HBV antigen secretion and genome replication in human hepatoma cell lines, which suggests that quercetin may be a potentially effective anti-HBV agent.

文摘BACKGROUND Intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction plays an important role in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis(UC).Recent studies have revealed that impaired autophagy is associated with intestinal mucosal dysfunction in the mucosa of colitis mice.Resveratrol exerts anti-inflammatory functions by regulating autophagy.AIM To investigate the effect and mechanism of resveratrol on protecting the integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier and anti-inflammation in dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis mice.METHODS Male C57BL/6 mice were divided into four groups:negative control group,DSS model group,DSS+resveratrol group,and DSS+5-aminosalicylic acid group.The severity of colitis was assessed by the disease activity index,serum inflammatory cytokines were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Colon tissues were stained with haematoxylin and eosin,and mucosal damage was evaluated by mean histological score.The expression of occludin and ZO-1 in colon tissue was evaluated using immunohistochemical analysis.In addition,the expression of autophagy-related genes was determined using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Western-blot,and morphology of autophagy was observed by transmission electron microscopy.RESULTS The resveratrol treatment group showed a 1.72-fold decrease in disease activity index scores and 1.42,3.81,and 1.65-fold decrease in the production of the inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin-6 and interleukin-1β,respectively,in DSS-induced colitis mice compared with DSS group(P<0.05).The expressions of the tight junction proteins occludin and ZO-1 in DSS model group were decreased,and were increased in resveratrol-treated colitis group.Resveratrol also increased the levels of LC3B(by 1.39-fold compared with DSS group)and Beclin-1(by 1.49-fold compared with DSS group)(P<0.05),as well as the number of autophagosomes,which implies that the resveratrol may alleviate intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction in DSS-induced UC mice by enhancing autophagy.CONCLUSION Resveratrol treatment decreased the expression of inflammatory factors,increased the expression of tight junction proteins and alleviated UC intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction;this effect may be achieved by enhancing autophagy in intestinal epithelial cells.
