Reservoir rocks mainly consist of crystalline dolomite with residual grain texture, and dolarenite of which the arene is mainly composed of muddy to micritic dolomite with some crystalline grain directionally aligned. The trace element indicates that the dolomites of Longwangmiao Formation may be related to the high salinity of sea water. The oxygen isotope values of crystalline dolomite and dolarenite are both similar to that of the Early Cambrian marine dolomites, and the carbon isotope values of every kind of dolomites are completely overlapped with that of the seawater in Early Cambrian, indicating the dolomitization fluid is originated from the Early Cambrian sea water. The restricted marine biological communities and a small amount of gypsum pseudonodule seen in muddy to micritic dolomite indicate that the sea water in Early Cambrian was restricted and evaporated. However, the general lack of massive evaporite mineral and gypsum karst breccia indicates that the salinity of sea water during dolomitization was lower than the value of gypsum＇s precipitation. The Longwangmiao Formation consists of several high-frequency sedimentary cycles, indicating frequent sea level changes. This study indicates that massive dolomitization may also occur in underwater palaeohigh in carbonate platform through the reflux of penesaline sea water driven by a combination of high-and low-frequency sea-level changes. This kind of dolomitization can explain the generation of massive dolomites in the absence of evaporite precipitation, and further indicates that replacement dolomites can be produced by sea water with a wide range of salinity（normal, penesaline to hypersaline）.展开更多

The configuration transformation is prominent feature of the metamorphic mechanism. The number of constraints or properties of the kinematic pairs provided by the metamorphic kinematic pairs will change under certain conditions, its dynamic performance is much more complex than that of traditional kinematic pairs with immutable constraints. However, the clearance model about traditional kinematic pairs with immutable constraints established by long-term research is difficult to be directly applied to the metachromatic kinematic pairs. Referring to the experience of the traditional kinematic pairs with immutable constraints, the continuous contact model of Metamorphic Groove pin pair with clearance is established. According to the traditional continuous contact model of the kinematic pairs with immutable constraints, the forces between the elements of kinematic pair of the mechanism with clearance and the ideal mechanism without clearance are regarded as the same, and the inertia force and inertia moment of the components are also calculated according to the acceleration of the ideal mechanism. The clearance is regarded as a massless virtual bar with length r. For the rotating pair part, the massless virtual bar length r is the difference between the radius of the shaft and the hole, and for the sliding pair part, the massless virtual bar length r is half of the difference between the height of the slider and the guide groove. According to the new mechanism without gap after adding the imaginary bar, kinetic energy and potential energy of the system are calculated for the two configurations of mechanism with metamorphic Groove pin pair with clearance. The kinetic energy and potential energy of the system are calculated according to the new mechanism without clearance after adding the massless virtual bar. The kinetic energy, potential energy and generalized force are substituted into the Lagrangian equation to obtain the motion equation of the metamorphic mechanism, which lays the foundation for the dynamic performance study of the mechanism with metamorphic groove pin pair with clearance.展开更多

Therefore, accurate quantification of Spartina alterniflora aboveground biomass at a fine scale is crucial for understanding its growth dynamics and managing its invasion. This study focuses on the coastal wetlands of central Jiangsu Province, China, utilizing multispectral unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) data to map the distribution of Spartina alterniflora. Object-based image analysis(OBIA) combined with support vector machines(SVM) was employed for classification. Additionally, multiple regression models, including univariate, band-based, vegetation index(VI)-based, and multivariate linear regression models integrating both band and VI data, were developed to estimate biomass:(1) the Bands + VIs multiple linear regression model based on fresh weight exhibited the highest estimation accuracy;(2) the optimal model achieved R^(2) values of 0.81 and 0.82 at Dafeng and Tiaozini Nature Reserve,with RMSE values of 591.78 g/m^(2) and 337.62 g/m^(2), and MAE values of 576.82 g/m^(2) and 287.71 g/m^(2), respectively;and(3) the aboveground biomass of Spartina alterniflora primarily ranged from 994.60 g/m^(2) to 5 351.48 g/m^(2) at Dafeng and from 796.05 g/m^(2) to 1 994.02 g/m^(2) in Tiaozini Nature Reserve. These findings highlight the effectiveness of multispectral UAV technology for accurately estimating Spartina alterniflora biomass, providing a robust methodology for wetland vegetation monitoring and invasive species management.展开更多

In this study, we performed dynamic transcriptome microarray analysis of an elite Chinese bread wheat cultivar(Jimai 20) during grain development using the Gene Chip Wheat Genome Array. Grain morphology and scanning electron microscope observations showed that the period of 11–15 days post-anthesis(DPA) was a key stage for the synthesis and accumulation of seed starch. Genome-wide transcriptional profiling and significance analysis of microarrays revealed that the period from 11 to 15 DPA was more important than the 15–20 DPA stage for the synthesis and accumulation of nutritive reserves.Series test of cluster analysis of differential genes revealed five statistically significant gene expression profiles. Gene ontology annotation and enrichment analysis gave further information about differentially expressed genes, and Map Man analysis revealed expression changes within functional groups during seed development. Metabolic pathway network analysis showed that major and minor metabolic pathways regulate one another to ensure regular seed development and nutritive reserve accumulation. We performed gene co-expression network analysis to identify genes that play vital roles in seed development and identified several key genes involved in important metabolic pathways. The transcriptional expression of eight key genes involved in starch and protein synthesis and stress defense was further validated by q RT-PCR. Our results provide new insight into the molecular mechanisms of wheat seed development and the determinants of yield and quality.展开更多

文摘The expansion of river plumes is essential for coastal systems and inner-shelf biogeochemical processes.This investigation employs the Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave-Sediment Transport(COAWST)modeling system to systematically analyze the governing mechanisms influencing the Changjiang River plume during winter conditions.Model validation through comparison with the observational datasets demonstrates the system’s capability to accurately reproduce hydrodynamic processes and thermohaline variability.A series of sensitivity experiments was implemented to quantify the relative contributions of distinct forcing mechanisms,including tidal dynamics,wind stress,and waveinduced processes on hydrodynamic patterns and associated temperature-salinity distributions.Numerical simulations reveal that wave-induced vertical mixing generates significant nearshore thermal elevation concurrent with salinity reduction.Tidal residual currents exhibit persistent onshore and northward components,potentially facilitating northward advection of the Changjiang River plume during winter months.Conversely,wind-driven currents impose a constraining effect on plume expansion through the establishment of downwelling-favorable circulation patterns.During extreme wave events,wave-driven current contributions to salinity variance account for 30%−90%,relative to tidal mixing effects.These findings collectively establish wave-current interaction as a critical mechanistic component governing wintertime Changjiang River plume dynamics,with particular relevance to stratification modification and cross-shelf transport processes.

文摘The ineluctable introduction of lithium salt to polymer solid-state electrolytes incurs a compromise between strength,ionic conductivity,and thickness.Here,we propose Al_(2)O_(3)-coated polyimide(AO/PI)porous film as a high-strength substrate to support fast-ion-conducting polymer-in-salt(PIS)solid-state electrolytes,aiming to suppress lithium dendrite growth and improve full-cell performance.The Al_(2)O_(3)coating layer not only refines the wettability of polyimide porous film to PIS,but also performs as a high modulus protective layer to suppress the growth of lithium dendrites.The resulting PI/AO@PIS exhibits a small thickness of only 35μm with an outstanding tensile strength of 11.3 MPa and Young's modulus of 537.6 MPa.In addition,the PI/AO@PIS delivers a high ionic conductivity of 0.1 m S/cm at 25°C.As a result,the PI/AO@PIS enables symmetric Li cells to achieve exceptional cyclability for over 1000 h at 0.1 m A/cm2without noticeable lithium dendrite formation.Moreover,the PI/AO@PIS-based LiFePO4||Li full cells demonstrate outstanding rate performance(125.7 m Ah/g at 5 C)and impressive cycling stability(96.1%capacity retention at 1 C after 200 cycles).This work highlights the efficacy of enhancing the mechanical properties of polymer matrices and extending cell performance through the incorporation of a dense inorganic interface layer.

文摘Composite solid electrolytes(CSEs)are promising for solid-state Li metal batteries but suffer from inferior room-temperature ionic conductivity due to sluggish ion transport and high cost due to expensive active ceramic fillers.Here,a host–vip inversion engineering strategy is proposed to develop superionic CSEs using cost-effective SiO_(2) nanoparticles as passive ceramic hosts and poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene)(PVH)microspheres as polymer vips,forming an unprecedented“polymer vip-in-ceramic host”(i.e.,PVH-in-SiO_(2))architecture differing from the traditional“ceramic vip-in-polymer host”.The PVH-in-SiO_(2) exhibits excellent Li-salt dissociation,achieving high-concentration free Li+.Owing to the low diffusion energy barriers and high diffusion coefficient,the free Li+is thermodynamically and kinetically favorable to migrate to and transport at the SiO_(2)/PVH interfaces.Consequently,the PVH-in-SiO_(2) delivers an exceptional ionic conductivity of 1.32.10−3 S cm−1 at 25℃(vs.typically 10−5–10−4 S cm−1 using high-cost active ceramics),achieved under an ultralow residual solvent content of 2.9 wt%(vs.8–15 wt%in other CSEs).Additionally,PVH-in-SiO_(2) is electrochemically stable with Li anode and various cathodes.Therefore,the PVH-in-SiO_(2) demonstrates excellent high-rate cyclability in LiFePO4|Li full cells(92.9%capacity-retention at 3C after 300 cycles under 25℃)and outstanding stability with high-mass-loading LiFePO4(9.2 mg cm−1)and high-voltage NCM622(147.1 mAh g−1).Furthermore,we verify the versatility of the host–vip inversion engineering strategy by fabricating Na-ion and K-ion-based PVH-in-SiO_(2) CSEs with similarly excellent promotions in ionic conductivity.Our strategy offers a simple,low-cost approach to fabricating superionic CSEs for large-scale application of solid-state Li metal batteries and beyond.

文摘Halide solid-state electrolytes(HSSEs)with excellent ionic conductivity and high voltage stability are promising for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries(ASSLBs).However,they suffer from poor processability,mechanical durability and humidity stability,hindering their large-scale applications.Here,we introduce a dry-processing fibrillation strategy using hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)binder to encapsulate Li_(3)InCl_(6)(LIC)particles(the most representative HSSE).By manipulating the fibrillating process,only 0.5 wt%PTFE is sufficient to prepare free-standing LIC-PTFE(LIC-P)HSSEs.Additionally,LIC-P demonstrates excellent mechanical durability and humidity resistance.They can maintain their shapes after being exposed to humid atmosphere for 30 min,meanwhile still exhibit high ionic conductivity of>0.2m S/cm at 25℃.Consequently,the LIC-P-based ASSLBs deliver a high specific capacity of 126.6 m Ah/g at0.1 C and long cyclability of 200 cycles at 0.2 C.More importantly,the ASSLBs using moisture-exposed LIC-P can still operate properly by exhibiting a high capacity-retention of 87.7%after 100 cycles under0.2 C.Furthermore,for the first time,we unravel the LIC interfacial morphology evolution upon cycling because the good mechanical durability enables a facile separation of LIC-P from ASSLBs after testing.

文摘The discrete fracture system of a rock mass plays a crucial role in controlling the stability of rock slopes.To fully account for the geometric shape and distribution characteristics of jointed rock masses,terrestrial laser scanning(TLS)was employed to acquire high-resolution point-cloud data,and a developed automatic discontinuity-identification technology was coupled to automatically interpret and characterize geometric information such as orientation,trace length,spacing,and set number of the discontinuities.The discrete element method(DEM)was applied to study the influence of the geometric morphology and distribution characteristics of discontinuities on slope stability by generating a discrete fracture network(DFN)with the same statistical characteristics as the actual discontinuities.Based on slope data from the Yebatan Hydropower Station,a simulation was conducted to verify the applicability of the automatic discontinuity identification technology and the discrete fracture network-discrete element method(DFN-DEM).Various geological parameters,including trace length,persistence,and density,were examined to investigate the morphological evolution and response characteristics of rock slope excavation under different joint combination conditions through simulation.The simulation results indicate that joint parameters affect slope stability,with density having the most significant impact.The impact of joint parameters on stability is relatively small within a reasonable range but becomes significant beyond a certain threshold,further validating that the accuracy of field geological surveys is critical for simulation.This study provides a scientific basis for the construction of complex rock slope models,engineering assessments,and disaster prevention and mitigation,which is of great value in both theory and engineering applications.

文摘The river plume front between the diluted ocean water and salty ocean water in the Changjiang(Yangtze)River Delta(CRD)is well studied.Comparatively,less is known about the estuarine front in the CRD,which is formed between the riverine freshwater and the diluted ocean water and has the highest magnitude of salinity gradient(SG)in the CRD.Estuarine fronts are of great significance to the riverine material transport in the estuary.Many biogeochemical processes are enhanced in estuarine fronts,which have brought about environmental problems.In this study,the seasonal variations of the estuarine fronts in the CRD were studied in wet(July)and dry(January)seasons in 2017,based on model simulations with high spatiotemporal resolutions using the Finite-Volume Community Ocean Model(FVCOM).The estuarine front included several sharp fronts with a SG>4(/500 m),and was bottom-trapped on the submerged delta front.Seasonal changes mainly occurred off the Jiangsu coast,where a significant estuarine front was formed in July.The estuarine fronts generated around the submerged delta topography were accompanied by the offshore extension of older estuarine fronts,which were diluted and evolved into plume fronts over a tidal cycle.The simulated estuarine fronts had a salinity range of 6 to 22 in the dry season and 6 to 14 in wet season 2017.The estuarine fronts hindered the residual current by altering its flow direction to the southeast.

文摘Spartina alterniflora's robust reproductive capacity has enabled it to spread rapidly, posing a serious threat to native ecosystems in China. Therefore, accurate quantification of Spartina alterniflora aboveground biomass at a fine scale is crucial for understanding its growth dynamics and managing its invasion. This study focuses on the coastal wetlands of central Jiangsu Province, China, utilizing multispectral unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) data to map the distribution of Spartina alterniflora. Object-based image analysis(OBIA) combined with support vector machines(SVM) was employed for classification. Additionally, multiple regression models, including univariate, band-based, vegetation index(VI)-based, and multivariate linear regression models integrating both band and VI data, were developed to estimate biomass:(1) the Bands + VIs multiple linear regression model based on fresh weight exhibited the highest estimation accuracy;(2) the optimal model achieved R^(2) values of 0.81 and 0.82 at Dafeng and Tiaozini Nature Reserve,with RMSE values of 591.78 g/m^(2) and 337.62 g/m^(2), and MAE values of 576.82 g/m^(2) and 287.71 g/m^(2), respectively;and(3) the aboveground biomass of Spartina alterniflora primarily ranged from 994.60 g/m^(2) to 5 351.48 g/m^(2) at Dafeng and from 796.05 g/m^(2) to 1 994.02 g/m^(2) in Tiaozini Nature Reserve. These findings highlight the effectiveness of multispectral UAV technology for accurately estimating Spartina alterniflora biomass, providing a robust methodology for wetland vegetation monitoring and invasive species management.

文摘Wheat seed development is an important physiological process of seed maturation and directly affects wheat yield and quality. In this study, we performed dynamic transcriptome microarray analysis of an elite Chinese bread wheat cultivar(Jimai 20) during grain development using the Gene Chip Wheat Genome Array. Grain morphology and scanning electron microscope observations showed that the period of 11–15 days post-anthesis(DPA) was a key stage for the synthesis and accumulation of seed starch. Genome-wide transcriptional profiling and significance analysis of microarrays revealed that the period from 11 to 15 DPA was more important than the 15–20 DPA stage for the synthesis and accumulation of nutritive reserves.Series test of cluster analysis of differential genes revealed five statistically significant gene expression profiles. Gene ontology annotation and enrichment analysis gave further information about differentially expressed genes, and Map Man analysis revealed expression changes within functional groups during seed development. Metabolic pathway network analysis showed that major and minor metabolic pathways regulate one another to ensure regular seed development and nutritive reserve accumulation. We performed gene co-expression network analysis to identify genes that play vital roles in seed development and identified several key genes involved in important metabolic pathways. The transcriptional expression of eight key genes involved in starch and protein synthesis and stress defense was further validated by q RT-PCR. Our results provide new insight into the molecular mechanisms of wheat seed development and the determinants of yield and quality.
