文摘The Earth's crust,the outer shell of the Earth,consists of continental crust and oceanic crust.Oceanic crust is created at the mid-oceanic ridge,where it is magnetized in the ambient field of the Earth.As new material is extruded,the crust spreads outward,retaining its magnetization.The reversal of the polarity of the Earth's magnetic field over geologic time leads to a pattern of striped magnetic anomalies.In this study,we carry out a preliminary evaluation on how data from the Macao Science Satellite-1(MSS-1),which has a low orbital inclination,influences inversion models of the oceanic crustal magnetic field when combined with data from the Swarm mission.For our modeling we use an equivalent source method based on a cubed-sphere grid.Our model captures the broad magnetic structure over the North Atlantic Ocean and demonstrates that the trend of magnetic stripes is consistent with the age frame of the oceanic crust.The amplitude of the radial magnetic field at 450 km the North Atlantic Ocean ranges from–11 nT to+8 nT.The addition of MSS-1 observations to Swarm data generates results consistent with the overall magnetic stripe pattern.The lack of short-wavelength scale structure reveals the limitation of high-altitude satellites in portraying fine features and hence lower-altitude observations would be required to delineate a more detailed crustal signature.It is expected to obtain a finer structure of oceanic magnetic stripes by combining low-altitude CHAMP field data and east-west gradient data derived from MSS-1 in future work.

文摘The hydrodynamic performance of high-speed planing hulls has gained considerable interest,with recent advancements in computational fluid dynamics and hull design techniques enhancing the understanding of planing hull hydrodynamics.In this study,we conducted a numerical investigation using the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes approach with overset grids to capture large motions at high speeds.This study aims to improve the hydrodynamic performances of planing hulls,specifically focusing on total resistance,trim,and sinkage.The initial Fridsma hull with a deadrise angle of 20°has been used for validation,demonstrating good agreement with measurements at different Froude numbers.Subsequently,new configurations based on the Fridsma hull have been designed by varying the deadrise angle,number of chines,and transverse steps.Our findings reveal a correlation between the deadrise angle,the number of chines,and the Froude number.As the deadrise angle increases,total resistance also increases.Additionally,a single chine yields superior results at higher Froude numbers,while multiple chines offer advantages at lower values.The introduction of transverse steps consistently increases total resistance,highlighting their role in improving planing hull performance.This research not only offers valuable insights into planing hull design but also leverages state-of-the-art numerical methods to advance the understanding of hydrodynamic behaviors at high ship speeds.

文摘Bacterial communities play a crucial role in permafrost biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem function maintenance.Bacterial interaction is one of the main factors in shaping soil bacterial communities.However,how would bacterial interaction influence the bacterial communities in permafrost of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau(QTP)remains largely unknown.Here we collected paired soil samples from both the active and permafrost layers of two typical QTP permafrost regions in October 2020 for Tuotuohe River(TTH)and May 2022 for Aerjin(ARJ),and investigated the bacterial communities and the role of interactions in structuring the bacterial community and its assembly process through amplicon sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene.Our study revealed distinct bacterial communities,with significant differences in the relative abundances of Proteobacteria(P<0.05),Acidobacteriota(P<0.001),Bacteroidota(P<0.05),and Planctomycetota(P<0.001)between the active layer and the permafrost layer.More importantly,we found that interspecies interactions,including both positive and negative associations,were strongly correlated with bacterial alpha-diversity and played a significant role in community variation and assembly process.Our findings also showed that the community assembly in both the active and permafrost layers was primarily driven by homogeneous selection of deterministic processes,with interspecies interactions accounting for more than 58%and 63%of all assembly mechanisms,respectively.This is the first study to quantify the contribution of bacterial interactions in shaping the bacterial community and its assembly process in permafrost of QTP,highlighting the importance of considering interspecies interactions in future modeling efforts.Our work also emphasizes the necessity of including interspecies interactions in microbial process projections to reduce uncertainty.

文摘Axle box bearings are critical components of high-speed trains.Localized defects,such as pitting and spalling,on raceways or rollers pose significant threats to the operational safety of railway vehicles.In this work,a novel bearing-flexible axle boxvehicle coupling model is established to explore the vibration characteristics of axle box bearings with irregular localized defects.First,based on the contact and kinematic relationship between rollers and raceways,the three-dimensional(3D)bearing force elements are analyzed and formulated.Second,the established model and a flexible axle box are integrated into the vehicle,and the responses of the normal and faulty bearings under the combined excitations of wheel roughness and track irregularities are simulated.Third,the simulation results are verified through a rolling-vibrating test bench for full-scale wheelsets of high-speed trains.The comparisons of the fault-induced repetitive transients in the time-domain and the fault characteristic frequencies in the envelope spectra demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed model.Finally,based on the flexible axle box model,a sensitivity analysis of the accelerometer placements to the bearing faults is carried out,and the optimal one is identified based on both the time-domain and frequency-domain signal-to-noise ratios(SNRs)for engineering applications.

文摘Purpose-Rail corrugation is still one of the unsolved challenges in the railway industry,and the abnormal vibration and high-frequency noise caused by it constitute serious adverse effects on the operating environment.How to control corrugation has been an important research theme,and understanding corrugation evolution features is the necessary prerequisite.This study aims to investigate the specific evolution characteristics of corrugation from the contact stick-slip perspective.Design/methodology/approach-The formation and development processes of corrugation are analyzed by using a self-designed scale-down test device.Specifically,the contact stick-slip characteristics under different creepage conditions are analyzed and the formation mechanism of corrugation is summarized.On the basis of corrugation formation,the trend of corrugation development is further emphasized to completely describe the whole process of corrugation evolution.Findings-The results show that,under the determined vertical load condition,the contact interface appears the creep force-creepage negative slope phenomenon in the transverse direction.The cause of short-pitch corrugation on the rail wheel surface under the smaller angles of attack may be related to the inherent vibration frequency of the test device,and the cause of corrugation on the rail wheel surface under the larger angles of attack is mainly related to the stick-slip vibration induced by contact creep saturation.Originality/value-This research explores the evolution characteristics of corrugation by adopting a selfdesigned scale-down test device,and elucidates the mechanism of corrugation in detail.

文摘The Earth's magnetic field,which has been extensively observed from ground to satellite altitudes over several decades,originates from multiple sources,such as the core dynamo,the conductive mantle,the magnetized lithosphere,and the space current systems.Modeling of the lithospheric contribution plays an important role in the geophysical studies and industrial applications.In this paper,we propose a new method for global and regional modeling of the lithospheric magnetic field based on the cubed-sphere.An equivalent dipole source method on a quasi-uniform cubed-sphere grid is employed in the forward modeling.The dipole directions are fixed according to a priori magnetization and the relative intensities are estimated by an inversion procedure of least-squares fitting with minimum model regularization.Several numerical tests are performed to validate the accuracy and efficiency of both forward modeling and inversion procedure.The proposed method is applied to the global and regional modeling based on the latest magnetic data from Swarm Alpha satellite and MSS-1 mission.The model results indicate that the proposed method works quite well for realistic satellite data and MSS-1 data is consistent with the Swarm data in terms of lithospheric field modeling.

文摘Gaseous nitrous acid(HONO)is a critical contributor to daytime hydroxyl radical in the troposphere.Livestock farming has been recognized as an overlooked HONO source,but the lack of detailed flux measurements from livestock and poultry wastes would cause uncertainties in modeling its environmental impacts.Here,based on field flux measurements and laboratory experiments,we observed substantial HONO emissions from the composting of swine feces and chicken manure in the warm season,which might be mainly attributed to nitrification process in livestock and poultry wastes.The HONO emission from chicken manure was found to bemuch higher than that from swine feces,and the higher NH3 emission but lower N2O and NO emissions fromchicken manurewere also observed.Considering that the interaction among these nitrogen species during nitrification process,the obviously lower HONO emission from swine feces was likely to be explained by the lack of the total ammonia nitrogen and H+donors in swine feces.Temperature is also a key factor that influences the HONO emission from livestock wastes.In addition,the total HONO emission from swine feces in Chinawas estimated to be approximately 107.7 Gg-N/yr according to the national swine amounts,which is comparable to the national soil HONO emissions,underscoring its non-negligible contribution to regional air quality.Therefore,effective emission control of HONO fromlivestock and poultry wastes should be carried out to further improve air quality in China.

文摘Due to the discharge of industrialwastewater,urban domestic sewage,and intensive marine aquaculture tailwater,nitrate(NO_(3)^(−))pollution has emerged as a significant issue in offshore waters.Nitrate pollution affects aquatic life and may interact with other pollutants,leading to comprehensive toxicity.Cadmium(Cd^(2+))is the most widespread metal contaminant,adversely affecting aquatic life in the coastal waters of China.Despite this,few studies have focused on the synergistic toxicity of NO_(3)^(−)and Cd^(2+)in marine organisms.This study conducted a 30-day exposure experiment on marine Japanese flounder(Paralichthys olivaceus)to explore the synergistic toxicity of NO_(3)^(−)and Cd^(2+).Our results demonstrated that the exposure to Cd^(2+)alone induced slight histopathological changes in the liver.However,malformations such as hepatic vacuolar degeneration and sinusoid dilatationwere exacerbated under co-exposure.Moreover,co-exposure induced the downregulation of antioxidants and the upregulation of the product malonaldehyde(MDA)from lipid peroxidation,indicating potent oxidative stress in the liver.The increased mRNA expression of IL-8,TNF-α,and IL-1β,along with the decreased expression level of TGF-β,indicated a synergistic inflammatory response in the organisms.Furthermore,the co-exposure led to an abnormal expression of P53,caspase-3,caspase-9,Bcl-2,and Bax,and disturbed the apoptosis in the liver through TUNEL staining analysis.Overall,our results imply that co-exposure synergistically affects inflammation,redox status,and apoptosis in flounders.Therefore,the findings from this study provide valuable perspectives on the ecological risk assessment of marine teleosts co-exposure to NO_(3)^(−)and Cd^(2+).

文摘LiNixCoyMn_(2)O_(2)(NCM,x≥0.8,x+y+z=1)cathodes have attracted much attention due to their high specific capacity and low cost.However,severe anisotropic volume changes and oxygen evolution induced capacity decay and insecurity have hindered their commercial application at scale.In order to overcome these challenges,a kind of tantalum(Ta)doped nickel-rich cathode with reduced size and significantly increased number of primary particles is prepared by combining mechanical fusion with high temperature co-calcination.The elaborately designed micro-morphology of small and uniform primary particles effectively eliminates the local strain accumulation caused by the random orientation of primary particles.Moreover,the uniform distribution of small primary particles stabilizes the spherical secondary particles,thus effectively inhibiting the formation and extension of microcracks.In addition,the formed strong Ta-O bonds restrain the release of lattice oxygen,which greatly increases the structural stability and safety of NCM materials.Therefore,the cathode material with the designed primary particle morphology shows superior electrochemical performance.The 1 mol%Ta-modified cathode(defined as1%Ta-NCM)shows a capacity retention of 97.5%after 200 cycles at 1 C and a rate performance of 137.3 mAh g^(-1)at 5 C.This work presents promising approach to improve the structural stability and safety of nickel-rich NCM.

文摘As the development of single-junction solar cells reaches a bottleneck,tandem solar cells have emerged as a critical pathway to further enhance power conversion efficiency.Among them,monolithic perovskite/silicon heterojunction tandem solar cells are currently the fastest-growing technology,achieving the highest efficiencies at relatively low costs.The intercon-necting layer,which connects the two sub-cells,plays a crucial role in tandem cell performance.It collects electrons and holes from the respective sub-cells and facilitates recombination and tunneling at the interface.Therefore,the properties of the inter-connecting layer are pivotal to the overall device performance.In this work,we applied statistical analysis and machine learn-ing algorithms to systematically analyze the interconnecting layer.A comprehensive dataset on interconnecting layer parame-ters was established,and predictive modeling was performed using Lasso linear regression,random forest,and multilayer per-ceptron(a type of neural network).The analysis revealed key feature importance for experimental parameters,providing valu-able insights into the application of interconnecting layers in perovskite/silicon heterojunction tandem solar cells.The final opti-mized interconnecting layer can achieve a proof-of-concept efficiency of 38.17%,providing guidance and direction for the devel-opment of monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells.
