文摘To meet the need for cultivating application-oriented talents in local universities,this study introduced a project-based learning approach into the reform of bioinformatics experimental teaching.The course was structured around a project titled"Influenza Virus Analysis",comprising four progressive modules:database utilization and information retrieval,sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis,functional and structural prediction,and omics data analysis.These modules were integrated into a coherent research workflow that connected fragmented knowledge and technical skills.During implementation,flipped classroom and group collaboration methods were employed,alongside the establishment of a diversified assessment system emphasizing process evaluation.Teaching practice indicates that the reform effectively enhances students professional application skills,learning experience,and scientific literacy,facilitating a shift from"tool operation"to"problem-solving"capabilities.This study provides a reference model for the reform of bioinformatics experimental teaching in local universities.
文摘In this study,the multi-scale(meso and macro)modelling was used to predict the electric response of the material.Porosity was introduced through a sugar-templating process to enhance compressibility and sensitivity.Mean-field homogenization was employed to predict the electrical conductivity of the nanocomposites,which was validated experimentally through I–V characterisation,confirming stable Ohmic behavior.The homogenised material parameters were incorporated into COMSOLMultiphysics to simulate diaphragmdeflection and capacitance variation under applied pressure.Experimental results showed a linear and stable capacitance response at the force magnitude of 0–7 N.The Graphene nanoplatelets(GnP)–Polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)sensor demonstrated superior sensitivity(0.0032 pF/N)compared to the CNT–PDMS sensor(0.0019 pF/N),attributed to improved filler dispersion and higher effective surface area of GnP.Finite element simulations were further conducted to evaluate stress distribution in a GnP–PDMS-based capacitive sensor integrated into a shoe insole for gait analysis.The results correlated well with experimental capacitance changes,validating the sensor’s mechanical reliability and pressure sensitivity.This comparative study establishes the GnP–PDMS composite as a more effective candidate for low-cost,biocompatible,and high-performance flexible pressure sensors in wearable biomedical and gait monitoring applications.

文摘To improve the accuracy of rockburst risk evaluation in mining and tunnelling engineering,the influence of intermediate principal stress σ_(2) deserves further consideration,which has been neglected in general prediction frameworks.This study employs an integrated approach that combines true-triaxial unloading experiments with three-dimensional grain-based discrete element modeling(PFC3D-GBM)to examine the effects of σ_(2) on strain systematically burst and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.Through this dual experimental–numerical methodology,the strainburst characteristics under varying σ_(2) are analyzed in detail regarding mechanical responses,failure evolution and patterns,microscope fracture mechanisms,and energy partitioning.The results indicate that elevated σ_(2) can enhance the bearing capacity of rock,thereby necessitating a higher stress condition required for strainburst.However,it also enlarges the potential strainburst intensity,manifesting as deeper rockburst pits and more violent ejection of rock fragments.An increasing σ_(2) facilitates the microscope transgranular fractures,inhibits intergranular tensile fractures,and raises the kinetic energy conversion ratio slightly.It affects the intensity of strainburst through the following mechanisms,including the increase of energy storage limit,the intensification of Poisson effect for lateral expansion,and the enhancement of the transgranular fracturing mechanism.In practical engineering,the depth and range of support needs to be ensured under high σ_(2) conditions,and it is recommended to use prestressing techniques to control the development of significant slabbing.

文摘Dissolution trapping is one of the most promising mechanisms for safe geological carbon storage.Density-driven convection substantially accelerates the conversion of free-phase CO_(2)to the dissolved state,enhancing the sequestration safety.Since this process occurs on time scales of hundreds to thousands of years,reproducing it through conventional laboratory physical model tests is challenging.The hypergravity experiment reduces the model size and shortens the experimental time,enabling the modeling of gravity-driven flow processes at the field scale.However,it is uncertain whether the preferential flow effect caused by fractures can be reproduced in a hypergravity experiment.In this study,a three-dimensional discrete fracture-matrix model(3D-DFM)was used to evaluate the feasibility of hypergravity experiment of the transport of dissolved CO_(2)in fractured reservoirs.Numerical hypergravity tests were performed to examine the feasibility of modeling density-driven convection in homogeneous and heterogeneous media at different centrifuge accelerations.The hypergravity experiment can be used to study density-driven convection of dissolved CO_(2)at the field scale in homogeneous system.The numerical results show that the hypergravity experiment enables a faster breakthrough of plume and overestimates CO_(2)migration in the matrix surrounding the fractures.

文摘Thermal spalling in heterogeneous rocks under rapid heating poses critical risks to deep mining and geothermal operations.In this study,we develop a coupled thermal-mechanical-damage(TM D)model that explicitly incorporates Weibull distributed heterogeneity to a single fracture in rock,and validate it against ceramic quenching and granite acoustic emission experiments.Distance based generalized sensitivity analysis(DGSA)is applied to quantify the influence and interactions of key parameters,revealing the dominant controls on spalling onset,severity,and damage morphology.The results demonstrate that thermal stress dominates crack initiation and propagation,that lateral constraints can significantly delay and suppress spalling,and that material heterogeneity markedly influences peak stress and damage modes within a certain range of thermal expansion coefficient and has multiple effects on thermal spalling.This study provides a theoretical basis for quantitative assessment and parameter optimization of thermal spalling processes in rock masses.

文摘Rock-ice avalanches in cold high-mountain regions pose severe hazards due to their high mobility,yet the quantitative controls of particle-size ratio and ice content remain insufficiently constrained.This study investigates their coupled effects using inclinedflume experiments and Discrete Element Method(DEM)simulations,covering three gravel sizes(2-5 mm,5-7 mm,7-10 mm)and four ice-content levels(0%,20%,40%,60%).Run-out distance,velocity,energy components,flow regime(Savage number),and segregation indexαwere quantified.Increasing ice content significantly enhances mobility,but with diminishing marginal effectiveness.From 0%to 40%ice content,run-out distance increases by 41%-86%,whereas the additional increase from 40%to 60%contributes only 12%-23%.Particle-size ratio strongly governs segregation intensity.Fine-gravel groups reach segregation indices ofα=0.92-0.98,indicating nearly complete upward migration of ice,whereas medium-gravel and coarse-gravel groups exhibit much weaker segregation,stabilizing atα=0.68-0.74 and 0.60-0.69.Savage number analyses reveal marked flow-regime transitions.At 0%ice content,Savage numbers reach 1.0-1.5,indicating a collisional regime.Increasing ice content suppresses collisionality,with Savage numbers decreasing to 0.03-0.07 at 60%ice content,consistent with dense-regime flow.DEM energy analyses confirm this regime shift:for finegravel mixtures,collision energy decreases by 14%,while sliding-friction energy increases by 33%as ice content increases from 0%to 60%,reflecting enhanced overburden effects imposed by upward-segregated ice layers.Medium and coarse mixtures exhibit weaker or opposite energy-shift patterns,demonstrating strong size dependence.Mechanistically,large particle-size contrasts promote strong segregation and form dense basal rock layers that increase basal friction and reduce mobility.When particle sizes are similar or ice content is high,segregation remains limited,allowing ice to mix into the basal layer,thereby reducing basal friction and enhancing mobility.This research quantitatively demonstrates how composition controls particle spatial distribution,flow regime,and energy dissipation,offering new mechanistic insights into the propagation and deposition behaviors of rock-ice avalanches and improving hazard assessment in vulnerable high-mountain regions.

文摘The photoacoustic imaging of lipid is intrinsically constrained by the feeble nature of endogenous lipid signals,posing a persistent sensitivity challenge that demands innovative solutions.Although adopting high-efficiency excitation and detection elements may improve the imaging sensitivity to a certain extent,the application of the elements is inevitably subject to various limitations in practical applications,particularly during in vivo imaging and endoscopic imaging.In this study,we propose a multi-combinatorial approach to enhance the sensitivity of lipid photoacoustic imaging.The approach involves wavelet transform processing of one-dimensional A-line signals,gradient-based denoising of two-dimensional B-scan images,and finally,threedimensional spatial weighted averaging of the data processed by the previous two steps.This method not only significantly improves the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)in distinguished feature regions of the image by around 10 dB,but also efficiently extracts weak signals with no distinct features in the original image.After processing with this method,the images acquired under single scanning were compared with those obtained under multiple scanning.The results showed highly consistent image features,with the structural similarity index increasing from 0.2 to 0.8,confirming the accuracy and reliability of the multi-combinatorial approach.

文摘The Toraja Highlands,encompassing Tana Toraja and North Toraja,form the strategic upper reaches of the Saddang Watershed in South Sulawesi,where steep terrain,active land-cover change,and high ecological sensitivity converge.This study addresses the need for an objective and validated ecological sensitivity map to support sustainable mountain watershed management.We construct an ecological sensitivity index based on principal component analysis using four key indicators:land cover,vegetation density(NDVI),slope,and rainfall,and evaluate its reliability through multi-source validation.Inputs integrate national elevation models,Landsat 8 imagery,and satellite-derived rainfall.Rainfall represents a multi-year climatology for 2015–2024,whereas land cover and NDVI reflect recent surface conditions derived from a cloud-free 2024 composite.The resulting sensitivity zonation indicates that 41.10%of Tana Toraja and 67.11%of North Toraja fall into the very high sensitivity class,concentrated on steep slopes and intensively converted landscapes.Eventbased spatial cross-validation against independent landslide records yields overall accuracies of 67.65%and 66.67%,while field verification produces Kappa values of 0.847 and 0.871.Stakeholder appraisal further corroborates the mapped patterns.Together,these convergent lines of evidence identify priority areas for reforestation,soil conservation,slope stabilization,and sustainable watershed management.The transparent and reproducible workflow supports evidence-based risk reduction and resilience building in the upper reaches of the Saddang Watershed.

文摘This study investigates the influence of hydrogen concentration at grain boundaries on the sensitivity of polycrystalline iron to hydrogen embrittlement using molecular dynamics simulations.These simulations reveal the diffusion behavior of hydrogen atoms at grain boundaries and their consequential impact on the hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity of iron alloys.The findings indicate that as the hydrogen concentration increases,both the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of Fe-H alloys exhibit a declining trend.Moreover,the capture of hydrogen atoms at the grain boundaries significantly influences the fracture toughness of the material and promotes the formation and propagation of cracks.This study provides a novel theoretical basis for understanding and predicting the hydrogen embrittlement behavior of iron-based materials in hydrogen-rich environments,offering valuable insights for the design and development of Fe alloys with enhanced resistance to hydrogen embrittlement.

文摘In mixture experiments,the observed response is determined by the relative proportions of the components,consequently rendering the experimental region a simplex.This paper focuses primarily on the optimal designs of mixture experiments that involve process variables.Prior research has extensively delved into optimal orthogonal block designs for some classic mixture models with process variables.Based on the framework of general blending models,this paper proposes a class of symmetric linear mixture models,which can be regarded as a generalization of many existing ones.Under the orthogonal blocking conditions,orthogonal block designs are devised through Latin squares in the presence of process variables.TheD-,A-,and E-optimality criteria are utilized to obtain optimal designs at the boundary of the simplex in the case of 3 components.As the values of the exponents change,numerically derived optimal design points are presented to illustrate the pattern of their variations,and to verify the consistency of the results with previous research on some specific symmetric general blending models.

文摘4-Bromo-3-methylphenol(BMP)is an important chemical intermediate with wide applications in the fields of medicine and pesticides.The synthesis of BMP from m-cresol via bromination is easy to carry out on an industrial scale.However,due to the formation of regioisomeric impurities during bromination and the low melting point of BMP,the separation process is prone to the formation of oily substances,resulting in low yield and purity.In this work,a new cocrystallization engineering approach was proposed to separate and purify BMP.Through design of experiments,the cocrystallization process of BMP and triethylenediamine(DABCO)was optimized using a minimum-run resolution IV screening design combined with response surface methodology.In addition,the obtained 2BMP-DABCO powder was characterized by thermal analysis,powder X-ray diffraction,infrared spectroscopy,and scanning electron microscopy.Single crystals of 2BMP-DABCO were grown from acetone by slow evaporation,and detailed structural information was obtained through single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The self-assembly mechanism was further clarified by density functional theory calculations.This study provides a simple,robust,and scalable method for the production of BMP and offers a reference for the separation and purification of phenolic substances.

文摘As demand for land resources is rapidly growing nowadays,developing on slope lands has become a way to relieve pressure on flat lands.Although some studies use the concept of slope spectrum to explore the trend of land use upslope,relying solely on the slope spectrum is too broad and prevents deeper research.Therefore,using China's land use and DEM data from 2000 to 2020,our study integrated the slope spectrum and the slope sensitivity coefficient(SSC)calculated by the land use transfer matrix as a new approach and method for understanding the underlying formations and impacts of upslope in farmland and construction land,supporting regional management strategies.The results show that:1)Farmlands were upslope in the South and developed horizontally in the North,and construction lands were upslope nationwide.2)Using the land use transfer matrix and SSC,we classified farmland upslope as passive and active patterns,and construction land upslope as saturation and avoidance patterns based on their land use transfer mechanisms in slope space.Provinces with passive and saturation patterns are mainly located near the east coast.3)Different patterns of upslope have distinct impacts on sustainable development.The passive pattern harms food security while the active pattern can relieve pressure on food security but increases ecological risks.Saturation pattern damages food security,ecological protection,and city livability,but avoidance pattern can promote food security and ecological protection.The findings will serve as an essential reference for developing land use strategies aimed at sustainable development.
