Existing methods based on -anonymity can mitigate these attacks but are cumbersome, neglect dynamic protection of community structure, and lack precise utility measures. To address these challenges, we present a dynamic social network graph anonymity scheme with community structure protection (DSNGA-CSP), which achieves the dynamic anonymization process by incorporating community detection. First, DSNGA-CSP categorizes communities of the original graph into three types at each timestamp, and only partitions community subgraphs for a specific category at each updated timestamp. Then, DSNGA-CSP achieves intra-community and inter-community anonymization separately to retain more of the community structure of the original graph at each timestamp. It anonymizes community subgraphs by the proposed novel -composition method and anonymizes inter-community edges by edge isomorphism. Finally, a novel information loss metric is introduced in DSNGA-CSP to precisely capture the utility of the anonymized graph through original information preservation and anonymous information changes. Extensive experiments conducted on five real-world datasets demonstrate that DSNGA-CSP consistently outperforms existing methods, providing a more effective balance between privacy and utility. Specifically, DSNGA-CSP shows an average utility improvement of approximately 30% compared to TAKG and CTKGA for three dynamic graph datasets, according to the proposed information loss metric IL.展开更多

文摘Rice seedling blight,caused by various fungi,including Fusarium oxysporum,poses a severe threat to rice production.As awareness grows regarding the environmental and safety hazards associated with the application of fungicides for managing rice seedling blight,there has been a shift in focus towards biological control agents.In this study,we isolated biocontrol bacteria from paddy fields that significantly inhibited the growth of F.oxysporum in vitro and identified the strains as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens T40 and Bacillus pumilus T208.Additionally,our findings indicated that the combined application of these Bacillus strains in soil was more effective in reducing the incidence of rice seedling blight than their individual use.Analysis of 16S and internal transcribed spacer rRNA gene sequencing data revealed that the mixture of the T40 and T208 strains exhibited the lowest average clustering coefficients,which were negatively correlated with the biomass of F.oxysporum-inoculated rice seedlings.Furthermore,this mixture led to higher stochastic assembly(average|βNTI|<2)and reduced selection pressures on rice rhizosphere bacteria compared with individual strain applications.The mixture of the T40 and T208 strains also significantly increased the expression of defense-related genes.In conclusion,the mixture of the T40 and T208 strains effectively modulates microbial community structures,enhances microbial network stability,and boosts the resistance against rice seedling blight.Our study supports the development and utilization of biological resources for crop protection.

文摘This study analyzed data from zooplankton surveys conducted in the coastal waters of Rizhao during the summers of2020–2023 to deterine trends in the number of taxa,dominant taxa,biomass,abundance,and biodiversity over the 4 years.The results indicated the presence of 41 zooplankton species belonging to Hydromedusa,Ctenophora,Copepoda,Cladocera,Amphipoda,Decapoda,Tunicata,Chaetognatha,Chordata,along with 19 types of planktonic larvae.The total number of taxa showed little change over the 4 years.A total of 10 dominant species and 8 dominant larval types were identified in the surveyed waters,and the dominant species vary from year to year.In terms of community structure,planktonic larvae,hydromedusae,and copepods were the dominant taxa.The proportion of planktonic larvae showed an upward trend,while that of hydromedusae exhibited a downward trend.The zooplankton collected by the shallow water type I(SWI)net and shallow water type II(SWII)net in the survey area could each be divided into 2 communities.Correlation analysis revealed that the abundance of zooplankton collected by the(SWI)net was significantly negatively correlated with water temperature(P<0.05),while the Shannon-Wiener index(H')was significantly positively correlated with water temperature(P<0.05).However,the total number of taxa,abundance,and biomass were significantly higher in the(SWII)net compared to(SWI)net.The average abundance of zooplankton collected in the SWI net gradually decreased over the years(P<0.05).There was no obvious difference in the community diversity indices of zooplankton collected by the two types of nets,and the community structure of zooplankton communities was consistent.

文摘Plate culture counting and strain isolation methods were utilized to assess the species richness and abundance of planktonic and attached bacteria on glass plates in the surface and bottom seawater of Qingdao Middle Harbor over a year,with monthly and quarterly sampling.Both species richness and bacterial numbers exhibited seasonal variations.Specifically,the abundance of attached bacteria and bacterioplankton peaked in June and July,corresponding to higher water temperatures in summer and autumn,while lower abundances were noted in January and December during cooler periods.Throughout the year,the species richness of attached bacteria consistently exceeded that of planktonic bacteria in both shallow and deep waters.Pseudoalteromonas emerged as the most prevalent genus among both planktonic and attached bacteria in surface and bottom seawater samples.Furthermore,the magnitude of changes in species richness and abundance for attached bacteria(0.66×10^(5)-15.85×10^(5)CFU/cm^(2))was greater than that observed for planktonic bacteria(0.58×10^(8)-5.33×10^(8)CFU/L).We propose that the attached bacterial populations,situated in limited microenvironments within the larger seawater ecosystem,exhibit heightened sensitivity to environmental fluctuations,resulting in more rapid shifts in population dynamics and lower ecological stability.The theoretical implications and potential applications of these findings warrant further investigation.

文摘Ecological stoichiometry plays an important role in revealing the mechanisms underlying biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem functions.Abiotic factors have strong effects on N-P stoichiometry,yet the impact of plant community structure,especially in forests,has not been fully elucidated.We investigated 68 plots in larch forests in northern China to explore how plant community structure and environmental factors affect the N-P stoichiometry of soil and leaves.The results showed significant differences in soil and leaf N-P stoichiometry among the three larch forests,P concentration and N:P ratio of leaves were significantly related to those of soil.Except for larch forest type,N-P stoichiometry was also regulated by elevation,climatic factors,and community structure.With increasing age(from 25 to 236 years),soil N and N:P ratio significantly increased,especially in the topsoil.With increasing mean DBH,leaf N concentration and N:P ratio also increased,indicating a shift in nutrient limitations with stand growth.These findings provide evidence that plant community structure and environmental factors regulate soil and leaf N-P stoichiometry,which is critically important for understanding biogeochemical cycles and forest management undergoing natural succession.

文摘Microbial corrosion of hydraulic concrete structures(HCSs)has received increasing research concerns.However,knowledge on the morphology of attached biofilms,as well as the community structures and functions cultivated under variable nutrient levels is lacking.Here,biofilm colonization patterns and community structures responding to variable levels of ammonia and sulfate were explored.From field sampling,NH_(4)^(+)-N was proven key factor governing community structure in attached biofilms,verifying the reliability of selecting target nutrient species in batch experiments.Biofilms exhibited significant compositional differences in field sampling and incubation experiments.As the nutrient increased in batch experiments,the growth of biofilms gradually slowed down and uneven distribution was detected.The proportions of proteins and β-d-glucose polysaccharides in biofilms experienced a decrease in response to elevated levels of nutrients.With the increased of nutrients,themass losses of concretes exhibited an increase,reaching a highest value of 2.37%in the presence of 20 mg/L of ammonia.Microbial communities underwent a significant transition in structure and metabolic functions to ammonia gradient.The highest activity of nitrification was observed in biofilms colonized in the presence of 20 mg/L of ammonia.While the communities and their functions remained relativelymore stable responding to sulfate gradient.Our research provides novel insights into the structures of biofilms attached on HCSs and the metabolic functions in the presence of high level of nutrients,which is of significance for the operation and maintenance of hydraulic engineering structures.

文摘Dynamic publishing of social network graphs offers insights into user behavior but brings privacy risks, notably re-identification attacks on evolving data snapshots. Existing methods based on -anonymity can mitigate these attacks but are cumbersome, neglect dynamic protection of community structure, and lack precise utility measures. To address these challenges, we present a dynamic social network graph anonymity scheme with community structure protection (DSNGA-CSP), which achieves the dynamic anonymization process by incorporating community detection. First, DSNGA-CSP categorizes communities of the original graph into three types at each timestamp, and only partitions community subgraphs for a specific category at each updated timestamp. Then, DSNGA-CSP achieves intra-community and inter-community anonymization separately to retain more of the community structure of the original graph at each timestamp. It anonymizes community subgraphs by the proposed novel -composition method and anonymizes inter-community edges by edge isomorphism. Finally, a novel information loss metric is introduced in DSNGA-CSP to precisely capture the utility of the anonymized graph through original information preservation and anonymous information changes. Extensive experiments conducted on five real-world datasets demonstrate that DSNGA-CSP consistently outperforms existing methods, providing a more effective balance between privacy and utility. Specifically, DSNGA-CSP shows an average utility improvement of approximately 30% compared to TAKG and CTKGA for three dynamic graph datasets, according to the proposed information loss metric IL.

文摘Macrobenthos can serve as an indicator of hypoxia in the estuarine ecosystem.This comparative study surveyed macrobenthos from hypoxic and non-hypoxic areas of the Zhujiang(Pearl)River Estuary(PRE),and explores the effects of environmental factor on the macrobenthos community structure.In July 2020,49 macrobenthos species were collected from the hypoxic area,contrasting with 91 species found in the non-hypoxic area.July 2021 recorded 51 species in the hypoxic area and 76 in the non-hypoxic area.Analysis of similarities(ANOSIM)and non-metric multidimentional scaling(NMDS)showed no significant difference in the macrobenthos community structure between the two areas.However,Polychaeta displays higher species richness,abundance,and biomass in the hypoxic zone,negatively correlating to dissolved oxygen(DO).Canonical correspondence analysis(CCA)also showed that the abundance of Polychaeta was negatively correlated with that of Crustacea.Interestingly,despite the differences in Polychaeta,macrobenthos community structure remains stable between hypoxic and non-hypoxic samples.This study suggests Polychaeta’s potential adaptation to hypoxic conditions in the PRE’s hypoxic area.Finally,Spearman correlation analysis showed that DO have a significant negative correlation with total phosphorus(TP),total nitrogen(TN)and total organic carbon(TOC)in the PRE,indicating that water eutrophication would exacerbate the occurrence of hypoxia.

文摘Tuojiang River Basin is a first-class tributary of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River—which is the longest river in China.As phytoplankton are sensitive indicators of trophic changes inwater bodies,characterizing phytoplankton communities and their growth influencing factors in polluted urban rivers can provide new ideas for pollution control.Here,we used direct microscopic count and environmental DNA(eDNA)metabarcoding methods to investigate phytoplankton community structure in Tuojiang River Basin(Chengdu,Sichuan Province,China).The association between phytoplankton community structure and water environmental factors was evaluated by Mantel analysis.Additional environmental monitoring data were used to pinpoint major factors that influenced phytoplankton growth based on structural equation modeling.At the phylum level,the dominant phytoplankton taxa identified by the conventional microscopic method mainly belonged to Bacillariophyta,Chlorophyta,and Cyanophyta,in contrast with Chlorophyta,Dinophyceae,and Bacillariophyta identified by eDNA metabarcoding.Inα-diversity analysis,eDNA metabarcoding detected greater species diversity and achieved higher precision than the microscopic method.Phytoplankton growth was largely limited by phosphorus based on the nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratios>16:1 in all water samples.Redundancy analysis and structural equation modeling also confirmed that the nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratio was the principal factor influencing phytoplankton growth.The results could be useful for implementing comprehensive management of the river basin environment.It is recommended to control the discharge of point-and surface-source pollutants and the concentration of dissolved oxygen in areas with excessive nutrients(e.g.,Jianyang-Ziyang).Algae monitoring techniques and removal strategies should be improved in 201 Hospital,Hongrihe Bridge and Colmar Town areas.
文摘The increasing incidence of global warming and frequent heavy precipitation events presents a significant challenge for urban areas in managing extreme precipitation.Strengthening the resilience of communities to climate change is a crucial strategy for fostering sustainable urban development.Green infrastructure offers an ecologically system for rainwater management and ecological restoration,and plays a significant role in adapting to climate risks.This study focuses on climate resilience by examining the implementation of green rainwater infrastructure within the context of climate-adapted green infrastructure in the High Point community of Seattle,USA,and proposes renewal planning strategies,methods,and implementation concepts at the community level.The research indicates that the High Point community has effectively mitigated the issue of waterlogging and enhanced the local microclimate through the implementation of green infrastructure systems,including permeable pavement,rain gardens,bioretention pools,and vegetative buffer zones.It is proposed that the collaborative design of green infrastructure should adhere to principles of systematization,alignment with natural processes,adaptation to the local environment,and engagement of multiple stakeholders,while considering various functions,diverse communities,and differing social contexts.Furthermore,it should be developed in consideration of the unique spatial characteristics,landscape structures,and social needs of each community.

文摘The agro-pastoral ecotone epitomizes the ecologically fragile semi-arid zone,where the soil microbiomes play a pivotal role in regulating its multifunctionality.However,whether and how changes in soil structure and organic matter composition under different land uses affect microbial community structure remain unclear.Here,land-use types in the agro-pastoral ecotone,including shrubland(BF),artificial grassland(ArG),abandoned grassland(AbG),and maize farmland(MA),were chosen to explore the response relationships between soil microbial communities and the aggregates and dissolved organic matter(DOM)composition.The results showed that compared to MA,the macroaggregates in BF,AbG,and ArG were increased by 123.0,92.79,and 63.71%,respectively,while MA soil had the greatest abundance of<100μm particles.The higher aromatic carbon with high aromaticity and molecular weight in BF soil DOM contributed to its highest mineral-associated organic carbon level(12.61 g kg^(-1)),while MA soil organic carbon had highly efficient decomposition due to its high content of aliphatic and carboxy carbon,so it is prone to loss from the active carbon pools.The transition in land use from shrubland to grassland and farmland has facilitated the conversion of stable aromatic carbon to unstable carboxy carbon.The taxonomic analysis revealed that soil bacterial and fungal communities in the four land uses were dominated by Proteobacteria,Actinobacteriota,Chloroflexi,and Ascomycota.More taxonomic groups from phylum to family were enriched in BF soil.The DOM components and organic carbon are crucial variables shaping the composition of soil bacterial communities,jointly explaining 61.66% of the variance,while aggregates are important variables driving the composition of fungal communities,with an explanation rate of 20.49%.Our results suggest that DOM components and aggregates impact the soil microbial structure;and the transition in land use from agricultural land to grassland and shrubland in the agro-pastoral ecotone enhances aggregate stability,carbon sequestration potential,and microbial diversity.

文摘Diversity of soil microorganisms in different habitats of arid and semi-arid areas plays an important role in the soil texture and nutrient,promoting the growth of vegetation in those areas.To clarify the response of soil bacterial community diversity to the changes of environmental factors in different habitats,this study collected soil samples under the canopies of Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb.in oasis,transition zone,and desert habitats in the upper reaches of the Tarim River,Northwest China.High-throughput sequencing technology and PICRUSt2 software were used to explore the composition and function of soil bacterial communities in different habitats of T.ramosissima.The results showed that:(1)soil environmental factors under the canopy of T.ramosissima in the three habitats differed significantly,with soil moisture and nutrient conditions being better in the oasis;(2)Proteobacteria,Bacteroidetes,Firmicutes,Actinobacteria,and Gemmatimonadetes were the major bacterial communities in the three habitats;(3)soil bacterial community composition under the canopy of T.ramosissima varied greatly,and the richness was significantly different among the three habitats;(4)redundancy analysis indicated that soil water content and available phosphorous were the most important environmental factors influencing the composition of soil bacterial community;and(5)6 primary functions and 21 secondary functions were obtained by PICRUSt2 function prediction,with metabolism being the most dominant function.This study revealed the response of soil bacterial community composition to habitat changes and their driving factors in the upper reaches of the Tarim River,which could improve the understanding of ecological sensitivity of soil microorganisms in arid and semi-arid areas,and provide a theoretical foundation for improving soil quality and ecological protection.

文摘Manure slurry application to farmland reduces chemical fertilizer use,mitigates pollution,and improves soil fertility.However,researches on the role of anaerobically treated cow slurry applied to soil microorganisms in Northeast China remain underexplored.Here,in laboratory incubation experiments,different treatments including various combinations of sterilized and non-sterilized soil and slurry,and different application rates were employed to examine the effects of indigenous microorganisms on soil microbial communities.Field-collected soil samples were employed to examine the responses and spatial variations of soil microbes under production conditions.The results indicated that indigenous soil microorganisms exerted a dominant influence in the microbial community variations,while the impact of cow slurry microbiota on community diversity was relatively minor.At the phylum level,Proteobacteria(P=0.031,R=0.969)showed a significant positive correlation with the slurry application,whereas Acidobacteriota(P=0.012,R=–0.988)and Basidiomycota(P=0.01,R=–0.99)showed significant negative correlations.In the field environment,the autumn slurry application effects on soil microbes in the following year were not significant.In contrast,under spring slurry application,the cow slurry-soil agglomerations led to significant spatial differences in soil microbial communities,with higher microbial diversity observed in the vicinity of agglomerations.The microbes in agglomerations,such as Actinomycetes,Bacteroides and Proteobacteria,were found to be beneficial for the crop residue decomposition.These microorganisms could decompose organic compounds including lignin,cellulose,hemicellulose,and xylan in crop straw.Overall,slurry application indeed influenced soil microbes and induced spatial variations,providing insights for sustainable agricultural practices.
文摘Six new lanthanide complexes:[Ln(3,4-DEOBA)3(4,4'-DM-2,2'-bipy)]2·2C_(2)H_(5)OH,[Ln=Dy(1),Eu(2),Tb(3),Sm(4),Ho(5),Gd(6);3,4-DEOBA-=3,4-diethoxybenzoate,4,4'-DM-2,2'-bipy=4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine]were successfully synthesized by the volatilization of the solution at room temperature.The crystal structures of six complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technology.The results showed that the complexes all have a binuclear structure,and the structures contain free ethanol molecules.Moreover,the coordination number of the central metal of each structural unit is eight.Adjacent structural units interact with each other through hydrogen bonds and further expand to form 1D chain-like and 2D planar structures.After conducting a systematic study on the luminescence properties of complexes 1-4,their emission and excitation spectra were obtained.Experimental results indicated that the fluorescence lifetimes of complexes 2 and 3 were 0.807 and 0.845 ms,respectively.The emission spectral data of complexes 1-4 were imported into the CIE chromaticity coordinate system,and their corre sponding luminescent regions cover the yellow light,red light,green light,and orange-red light bands,respectively.Within the temperature range of 299.15-1300 K,the thermal decomposition processes of the six complexes were comprehensively analyzed by using TG-DSC/FTIR/MS technology.The hypothesis of the gradual loss of ligand groups during the decomposition process was verified by detecting the escaped gas,3D infrared spectroscopy,and ion fragment information detected by mass spectrometry.The specific decomposition path is as follows:firstly,free ethanol molecules and neutral ligands are removed,and finally,acidic ligands are released;the final product is the corresponding metal oxide.CCDC:2430420,1;2430422,2;2430419,3;2430424,4;2430421,5;2430423,6.

文摘To elucidate the effect of calcite-regulated activated carbon(AC)structure on low-temperature denitrification performance of SCR catalysts,this work prepared a series of Mn-Ce/De-AC-xCaCO_(3)(x is the calcite content in coal)catalysts were prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method,followed by acid washing to remove calcium-containing minerals.Comprehensive characterization and low-temperature denitrification tests revealed that calcite-induced structural modulation of coal-derived AC significantly enhances catalytic activity.Specifically,NO conversion increased from 88.3%of Mn-Ce/De-AC to 91.7%of Mn-Ce/De-AC-1CaCO_(3)(210℃).The improved SCR denitrification activity results from the enhancement of physicochemical properties including higher Mn^(4+)content and Ce^(4+)/Ce^(3+)ratio,an abundance of chemisorbed oxygen and acidic sites,which could strengthen the SCR reaction pathways(richer NH_(3)activated species and bidentate nitrate active species).Therefore,NO removal is enhanced.
文摘Community detection is one of the most fundamental applications in understanding the structure of complicated networks.Furthermore,it is an important approach to identifying closely linked clusters of nodes that may represent underlying patterns and relationships.Networking structures are highly sensitive in social networks,requiring advanced techniques to accurately identify the structure of these communities.Most conventional algorithms for detecting communities perform inadequately with complicated networks.In addition,they miss out on accurately identifying clusters.Since single-objective optimization cannot always generate accurate and comprehensive results,as multi-objective optimization can.Therefore,we utilized two objective functions that enable strong connections between communities and weak connections between them.In this study,we utilized the intra function,which has proven effective in state-of-the-art research studies.We proposed a new inter-function that has demonstrated its effectiveness by making the objective of detecting external connections between communities is to make them more distinct and sparse.Furthermore,we proposed a Multi-Objective community strength enhancement algorithm(MOCSE).The proposed algorithm is based on the framework of the Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm with Decomposition(MOEA/D),integrated with a new heuristic mutation strategy,community strength enhancement(CSE).The results demonstrate that the model is effective in accurately identifying community structures while also being computationally efficient.The performance measures used to evaluate the MOEA/D algorithm in our work are normalized mutual information(NMI)and modularity(Q).It was tested using five state-of-the-art algorithms on social networks,comprising real datasets(Zachary,Dolphin,Football,Krebs,SFI,Jazz,and Netscience),as well as twenty synthetic datasets.These results provide the robustness and practical value of the proposed algorithm in multi-objective community identification.

文摘Microorganisms can colonize the surface of microplastics(MPs)to form a distinctive microbiome,known as a“plastisphere”which is regarded as an anthropogenic niche for microbial growth.However,bacterial community assembly in virgin and aging MP plastispheres across different habitats is poorly understood.This study aims to assess the variations in bacterial community assembly across different niches and habitats with an in situ ex-periment,in which constructed forest wetland(FW),natural lake wetland(LW),and lotus pond wetland(LP)were habitats,and plastispheres of virgin and aging low-density polyethylene(LDPE)MPs,as well as surround-ing wetland soils were niches.Significant niche-related differences in bacterial communities were observed,with lower diversity and enrichment of potential plastic-degrading bacteria in the plastisphere than in the soil bacterial communities.Furthermore,habitat-related differences exerted a more pronounced influence on the beta-diversity patterns of the bacterial communities.The linear regression analyses indicated that the local species pool con-tributed more to bacterial community assembly in the LW wetland,whereas the relative abundance of species was the primary factor in the LP wetland.The null model analysis indicated that plastisphere bacterial communi-ties were predominantly driven by the stochastic process,with a more deterministic assembly observed in the LP wetland and soil bacterial communities.Additionally,the primary ecological process shaping plastisphere com-munities shifted from drift in the virgin LDPE to homogenising dispersal in the aging LDPE.This study provides new insights into the fate and ecological impacts of MPs in wetlands,thereby facilitating the effective regulations of plastic pollution.

文摘In this work,ofloxacin(OFL),a kind of frequently detected antibiotic in groundwater,was selected to explore its impact(at ng/L-μg/L-level)on denitrification performance in an autotrophic denitrification system driven by pyrite/sulfur(FeS2/S0).Results showed that OFL restrained nitrate removal efficiency,and the inhibition degree was positively related to the concentration of OFL.After being exposed to increased OFL(200 ng/L-100μg/L)for 69 days,higher inhibition of electron transport activity(ETSA),enzyme activities of nitrate reductase(NAR),and nitrite reductase(NIR)were acquired.Meanwhile,the extracellular protein(PN)content of sludge samples was remarkably stimulated by OFL to resist the augmented toxicity.OFL contributed to increased microbial diversity and sulfur/sulfide oxidation functional genes in ng/L-level bioreactors,whereas led to a decline inμg/L level experiments.With OFL at concentrations of 200 ng/L and 100μg/L,the whole expression of 10 key denitrification functional genes was depressed,and the higher the OFL concentration,the lower the expression level.However,no significant proliferation of antibiotic resistance genes(ARGs)either in 200 ng/L-OFL or 100μg/L-OFL groups was observed.Two-factor correlation analysis results indicated that Thiobacillus,Anaerolineae,Anaerolineales,and Nitrospirae might be the main hosts of existing ARGs in this system.

文摘Fine-grained nuclear graphite is a key material in high-temperature gas-cooled reactors(HTGRs).During air ingress accidents,core graphite components undergo severe oxidation,threatening structural integrity.Therefore,understanding the oxidation behavior of nuclear graphite is essential for reactor safety.The influence of oxidation involves multiple factors,including temperature,sample size,oxidant,impurities,filler type and size,etc.The size of the filler particles plays a crucial role in this study.Five ultrafine-and superfine-grained nuclear graphite samples(5.9-34.4μm)are manufactured using identical raw materials and manufacturing processes.Isothermal oxidation tests conducted at 650℃-750℃ are used to study the oxidation behavior.Additionally,comprehensive characterization is performed to analyze the crystal structure,surface morphology,and nanoscale to microscale pore structure of the samples.Results indicate that oxidation behavior cannot be predicted solely based on filler grain size.Reactive site concentration,characterized by active surface area,dominates the chemical reaction kinetics,whereas pore tortuosity,quantified by the structural parameterΨ,plays a key role in regulating oxidant diffusion.These findings clarify the dual role of microstructure in oxidation mechanisms and establish a theoretical and experimental basis for the design of high-performance nuclear graphite capable of long-term service in high-temperature gas-cooled reactors.
