The results showed that acid gas emissions and atmospheric pollutant concentrations continued to decline during the study period. However, the change in the volume-weighted mean p H at the three sites suggested that acid rain pollution was not alleviated and began to deteriorate after 2015. The continuing downward trend for alkaline neutralizing ions(Ca^(2+), NH_4^+) in precipitation indicated that the reduction in alkaline neutralizing substances in the atmosphere was an important factor that led to the deterioration in acid rain across Guilin. The principal component analysis and spearman correlation analysis indicated five sources of ions in precipitation. Quantitative assessment of these five sources indicated that fossil fuel combustion contributed the most ions concentration in precipitation at the three sites, followed by agriculture, terrestrial(crustal) sources, marine sources, and biomass burning. Long-distance airflow might affect the acidity, the electrical conductivity(EC), and ion concentrations in precipitation across Guilin. The airflow trajectory from the west and southeast directions corresponded to higher acidity and ion concentrations. According to the current air pollution control strategy planned by Guilin, reducing atmospheric coarse particles and NH_3 at the same time may potentially lead to further deteriorations in acid rain contents. Therefore, Guilin needs to develop more reasonable pollution prevention measures that synergistically control atmospheric pollutants and acid rain pollution.展开更多

In this campaign, a total of 3,100,597 particles were sized, and 25.8%particles with both positive and negative mass spectrum were collected and 24.8%characterized in combination with the ART-2 a neural network algorithm. The distribution of sized particles was mainly in from 520 to 600 nm, and the diameters ranging from 340 to1000 nm accounted for above 90%. Eight types of particles were classified： Elemental Carbon containing（EC）, Organic Carbon containing（OC）, EC and OC combined containing particles,Na containing particles, K containing particles（K）, Levoglucosan containing particles,mineral containing particles, and Heavy Metal containing particles（HM）. EC, OC and K were the major containing particles, which accounted for 84.3% in the eight types particles. The relative ratio and size distribution of the three types were EC（48.1%, 620 nm）, OC（12.7%,440 nm）, and K（23.5%, 600 nm）, respectively. The three types of particles were a bit increasing ratios compared with those in clean periods during haze pollution periods.Combined with the back-trajectory results from the Hysplit-4 model and local pollution sources revealed that the ambient air quality on the Weizhou Island may be influenced by biomass burning in the Indochina Peninsula（biomass burning in the Indochina Peninsula）from the transportation on higher level atmospheric layer and by mainland of south China located northeast of Weizhou Island on the ground.展开更多

Firework displays resulted in a burst of SO2, coarse mode, and accumulation mode （100-500 nm） particles. Through single particle mass spectrometry analysis, five different types of particles （fireworks-metal, ash, dust, organic carbon-sulfate （OC-sulfate）, biomass burning） with different size distributions were identified as primary emissions from firework displays. The fireworks-related particles accounted for more than 70% of the total analyzed particles during severe firework detonations. The formation of secondary particulate sulfate and nitrate during firework events was investigated on single particle level. An increase of sulfite peak （80SO3） followed by an increase of sulfate peaks （97HSO7＋96SO7） in the mass spectra during firework displays indicated the aqueous uptake and oxidation of SO2 on particles. High concentration of gaseous SO2, high relative humidity and high particle loading likely promoted SO2 oxidation. Secondary nitrate formed through gas-phase oxidation of NO2 to nitric acid, followed by the condensation into particles as ammonium nitrate. This study shows that under worm, humid conditions, both primary and secondary aerosols contribute to the particulate air pollution during firework displays.展开更多

The relative s...On-orbit servicing, such as spacecraft maintenance, on-orbit assembly, refueling, and de-orbiting, can reduce the cost of space missions, improve the performance of spacecraft, and extend its life span. The relative state between the servicing and target spacecraft is vital for on-orbit servicing missions, especially the final approaching stage. The major challenge of this stage is that the observed features of the target are incomplete or are constantly changing due to the short distance and limited Field of View (FOV) of camera. Different from cooperative spacecraft, non-cooperative target does not have artificial feature markers. Therefore, contour features, including triangle supports of solar array, docking ring, and corner points of the spacecraft body, are used as the measuring features. To overcome the drawback of FOV limitation and imaging ambiguity of the camera, a "selfie stick" structure and a self-calibration strategy were implemented, ensuring that part of the contour features could be observed precisely when the two spacecraft approached each other. The observed features were constantly changing as the relative distance shortened. It was difficult to build a unified measurement model for different types of features, including points, line segments, and circle. Therefore, dual quaternion was implemented to model the relative dynamics and measuring features. With the consideration of state uncertainty of the target, a fuzzy adaptive strong tracking filter( FASTF) combining fuzzy logic adaptive controller (FLAC) with strong tracking filter(STF) was designed to robustly estimate the relative states between the servicing spacecraft and the target. Finally, the effectiveness of the strategy was verified by mathematical simulation. The achievement of this research provides a theoretical and technical foundation for future on-orbit servicing missions.展开更多

文摘Time-resolved single-particle measurements were conducted during Chinese New Year in Nanning, China. Firework displays resulted in a burst of SO2, coarse mode, and accumulation mode （100-500 nm） particles. Through single particle mass spectrometry analysis, five different types of particles （fireworks-metal, ash, dust, organic carbon-sulfate （OC-sulfate）, biomass burning） with different size distributions were identified as primary emissions from firework displays. The fireworks-related particles accounted for more than 70% of the total analyzed particles during severe firework detonations. The formation of secondary particulate sulfate and nitrate during firework events was investigated on single particle level. An increase of sulfite peak （80SO3） followed by an increase of sulfate peaks （97HSO7＋96SO7） in the mass spectra during firework displays indicated the aqueous uptake and oxidation of SO2 on particles. High concentration of gaseous SO2, high relative humidity and high particle loading likely promoted SO2 oxidation. Secondary nitrate formed through gas-phase oxidation of NO2 to nitric acid, followed by the condensation into particles as ammonium nitrate. This study shows that under worm, humid conditions, both primary and secondary aerosols contribute to the particulate air pollution during firework displays.

文摘Aiming at the safety problem of the stage separation of parallel reusable high-speed air vehicles,this paper studies the unsteady test method and focuses on deriving a similarity law of parallel stage separation free-flight wind tunnel tests.The new similarity law considers the influences of aerodynamic force and gravity on the motions of the two stages,as well as the influence of aerodynamic interference between the two stages on each other’s motion.From the perspective of multiangle physical equations,the conditions to ensure that the two-stage separation trajectory of a wind tunnel test is similar to that of a real air vehicle are derived innovatively,so as to ensure the authenticity and credibility of wind tunnel test results.The similarity law is verified by an HIFiRE-5 air vehicle,and the separation trajectories of wind tunnel tests and the real air vehicle are obtained by numerical simulation.The research shows that the similarity law derived in this paper can ensure that wind tunnel free-flight tests have the ability to predict the two-stage separation characteristics of real parallel vehicles.By analyzing the separation trajectory curve of the typical state,it is found that the new method can ensure that the trajectory error of a wind tunnel test does not exceed 1%,which indicates that this method is credible.The establishment of the new method lays the foundation for subsequent wind tunnel tests and provides support for research on the safety of the stage separation of parallel reusable air vehicles.

文摘Efficient and convenient treatment of industrial dyeing wastewater is of great significance to guarantee human and animal health.This work presented the enhanced catalytic activity at pH 3.0 of laccase immobilized on amino-functionalized ZnFe_(2)O_(4) nanoparticles(ZnFe_(2)O_(4)-laccase)and its application for the degradation of textile dyes.Due to the existence of a large number of oxygen vacancies on the surface of the ZnFe_(2)O_(4) nanoparticles,negative ions accumulated on the magnetic carriers,which resulted in a harsh optimal pH value of the ZnFe_(2)O_(4)-laccase.Laccase activity assays revealed that the ZnFe_(2)O_(4)-laccase possessed superior pH and thermal stabilities,excellent reusability,and noticeable organic solvent tolerance.Meanwhile,the ZnFe_(2)O_(4) laccase presented efficient and sustainable degradation of high concentrations of textile dyes.The initial decoloration efficiencies of malachite green(MG),brilliant green(BG),azophloxine,crystal violet(CV),reactive blue 19(RB19),and procion red MX-5B were approximately 99.1%,95.0%,93.3%,87.4%,86.1%,and 85.3%,respectively.After 10 consecutive reuses,the degradation rates of the textile dyes still maintained about 98.2%,92.5%,83.2%,81.5%,79.8%and 65.9%,respectively.The excellent dye degradation properties indicate that the ZnFe_(2)O_(4)-laccase has a technical application in high concentrations of dyestuff treatment.

文摘The LGS1(Large grain size 1)gene,also known as GS2/GL2/Os GRF4,is involved in regulating grain size and quality in rice,but the mechanism governing grain size has not been elucidated.We performed transcriptomic,proteomic,and phosphoproteomic analyses of young rice panicles in Samba(a wild-type cultivar with extra-small grain)and NIL-LGS1(a nearly isogenic line of LGS1 with large grain in the Samba genetic background)at three developmental stages(4–6)to identify internal dynamic functional networks determining grain size that are mediated by LGS1.Differentially expressed proteins formed seven highly functionally correlated clusters.The concordant regulation of multiple functional clusters may be key features of the development of grain length in rice.In stage 5,16 and 24 phosphorylated proteins were significantly up-regulated and down-regulated,and dynamic phosphorylation events may play accessory roles in determining rice grain size by participating in protein–protein interaction networks.Transcriptomic analysis in stage 5 showed that differentially expressed alternative splicing events and dynamic gene regulatory networks based on 39 transcription factors and their highly correlated target genes might contribute to rice grain development.Integrative multilevel omics analysis suggested that the regulatory network at the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels could be directly manifested at the translational level,and this analysis also suggested a regulatory mechanism,regulation of protein translation levels,in the biological process that extends from transcript to protein to the development of grain.Functional analysis suggested that biological processes including MAPK signaling,calcium signaling,cell proliferation,cell wall,energy metabolism,hormone pathway,and ubiquitin-proteasome pathway might be involved in LGS1-mediated regulation of grain length.Thus,LGS1-mediated regulation of grain size is affected by dynamic transcriptional,posttranscriptional,translational and posttranslational changes.

文摘On-orbit servicing, such as spacecraft maintenance, on-orbit assembly, refueling, and de-orbiting, can reduce the cost of space missions, improve the performance of spacecraft, and extend its life span. The relative state between the servicing and target spacecraft is vital for on-orbit servicing missions, especially the final approaching stage. The major challenge of this stage is that the observed features of the target are incomplete or are constantly changing due to the short distance and limited Field of View (FOV) of camera. Different from cooperative spacecraft, non-cooperative target does not have artificial feature markers. Therefore, contour features, including triangle supports of solar array, docking ring, and corner points of the spacecraft body, are used as the measuring features. To overcome the drawback of FOV limitation and imaging ambiguity of the camera, a "selfie stick" structure and a self-calibration strategy were implemented, ensuring that part of the contour features could be observed precisely when the two spacecraft approached each other. The observed features were constantly changing as the relative distance shortened. It was difficult to build a unified measurement model for different types of features, including points, line segments, and circle. Therefore, dual quaternion was implemented to model the relative dynamics and measuring features. With the consideration of state uncertainty of the target, a fuzzy adaptive strong tracking filter( FASTF) combining fuzzy logic adaptive controller (FLAC) with strong tracking filter(STF) was designed to robustly estimate the relative states between the servicing spacecraft and the target. Finally, the effectiveness of the strategy was verified by mathematical simulation. The achievement of this research provides a theoretical and technical foundation for future on-orbit servicing missions.

文摘The detection of non-Newtonian gravity is crucial for fundamental physics research and our understanding of dark energy.However,conducting an experiment that provides explicit evidence of its existence remains an endeavour.We propose an experiment utilizing a diamagnetically levitated pendulum in vacuum to detect non-Newtonian gravity on a micrometer scale.The pendulum configuration effectively helps to shield electromagnetic force fluctuations in the vacuum levitation system.The structural parameters of the pendulum are intentionally optimized to enhance the constraint on the non-Newtonian gravity strength𝛼.The designed pendulum can be stably levitated in the diamagnetic trap thanks to its passive levitation mechanism.By conducting resonance force measurements at room temperature for a duration of 10^(4)s,we anticipate a significant improvement in the constraint on the non-Newtonian gravity strength(α≥28)within the force range of λ=7.6μm.This represents an enhancement of over three orders of magnitude compared to the current limit.This study presents a promising tool for investigating short-range forces and exploring frontier physics in tabletop laboratory.

文摘Flexible printed circuit boards(FPCBs)play crucial roles in wearable electronics.FPCB-based sensors can be easily integrated into motion capture systems to detect and digitize human movements.However,non-conformity between sensors and human skin leads to signal distortion and motion artifacts.Herein,a polydimethylsiloxane-(Z)-sorbitan mono-9-octadecenote(PDMS-Span 80)adhesive film is developed to connect and co-deform the FPCB-based bending sensor with human skin.The PDMS-Span 80 adhesive film demonstrates a high adhesive(a higher adhesion force of 38.0 kPa),reusability(over 300 cycles),long-term stability(over 20 d),and robustness(high tolerance to washing and high temperatures).Meanwhile,the adhesive film can be stripped by a low peeling strength without skin damage and shows relatively better biocompatibility with skin.Specifically,combining the high adhesive,larger stretchability,and elasticity,and skin-like elasticity modulus,the adhesive film can co-deform with human skin.With the assistance of the PDMS-Span 80 adhesive film,the FPCB-based bending sensor not only possesses exceptional responsiveness,reliability,and durability but also eliminates the overshoot phenomenon when responding to the deformation of the skin.Successful application in a full-body motion capture for the digital twin of Chinese Kungfu demonstrated the great application promise of PDMS-Span 80 adhesive film.

文摘Through-silicon vias(TSVs)are crucial to the heterogeneous integration of multi-functional chiplets,providing highperformance vertical interconnects between different device layers.In this work,we introduce a novel TSV fabrication technology based on double-sided processing of polyimide-Ni(PI-Ni)functional layers,which can greatly simplify the TSV manufacturing flow,accompanying by advantages in improving TSV performance and reliability by effectively eliminating Cu contamination and significantly reducing leakage current.The key advancements of this approach include:(i)the complete coverage of the substrate with through-holes by the optimized double-sided PI insulation layer deposition process,where the chemical mechanical polishing(CMP)is carried out prior to the TSV metallization thus preventing substrate exposure to metallic contaminants;(ii)the deposition of a continuous Ni layer through an optimized double-sided electroless plating process,serving as both the barrier and the seed layer with high step coverage,enabling the simultaneous electroplating of TSV Cu conductors and double-sided redistribution layers(RDLs);and(iii)the demonstration of simulations and experimental validations highlighting improved thermomechanical stress distribution and superior electrical performance,including reduced parasitic capacitance and ultralow leakage current.The engineered PI-Ni-based TSV fabrication technology offers a contamination-free Cuinterconnect solution for advanced post-Moore applications such as hetero-integrated microsystems containing IC chips and MEMS devices.

文摘The bromodomain-containing protein 9(BRD9)is a core subunit of mammalian SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex termed ncBAF.BRD9 has emerged as a potential target for anticancer drugs,particularly in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia(AML).Herein,we reported 10m(Y22073)and 10t as new BRD9 selective bromodomain inhibitors.Crystallographic studies revealed that the key active imidazolyl group discovered from structure-activity relationship(SAR)can induce Phe163 flipping and significantly enhance the cellular potency of the compounds,making 10m the first BRD9 selective inhibitor with significant cellular activity against AML cells.We also validated the critical role of imidazolyl groups by modifying existing BRD9 inhibitors.The representative compounds 10m and 10t demonstrated potent binding affinity,outstanding selectivity toward BRD9 bromodomain,and significantly inhibited the proliferation of AML cell lines.10m also showed good metabolic stability,solubility and pharmacokinetic properties.Additionally,oral administration of compounds 10m and 10t exhibited potent anti-tumor efficacy in the MV4-11 xenograft mouse model.The potent,selective,and orally available BRD9 bromodomain inhibitors may address the challenges of weak cellular activity and limited phenotypic efficacy faced by BRD9 inhibitors,and serve as new lead compounds for the development of anticancer agents for the treatment of AML.
