They also have important roles in shifting the global economic center of gravity to China. However, the development of mega-urban agglomerations has triggered the interactive coercion between resources and the eco-envi- ronment. The interactive coupled effects between urbanization and the eco-environment in mega-urban agglomerations represent frontier and high-priority research topics in the field of Earth system science over the next decade. In this paper, we carried out systematic theo- retical analysis of the interactive coupling mechanisms and coercing effects between ur- banization and the eco-environment in mega-urban agglomerations. In detail, we analyzed the nonlinear-coupled relationships and the coupling characteristics between natural and human elements in mega-urban agglomerations. We also investigated the interactive coercion intensities between internal and external elements, and the mechanisms and patterns of local couplings and telecouplings in mega-urban agglomeration systems, which are affected by key internal and external control elements. In addition, we proposed the interactive coupling theory on urbanization and the eco-environment in mega-urban agglomerations. Furthermore we established a spatiotemporal dynamic coupling model with multi-element, multi-scale, multi-scenario, multi-module and multi-agent integrations, which can be used to develop an intelligent decision support system for sustainable development of mega-urban agglomera- tions. In general, our research may provide theoretical guidance and method support to solve problems related to mega-urban agglomerations and maintain their sustainable development.展开更多

In this study, cement, an alkaline solution, and glass fiber were used to reinforce GRS. The effects of cement content and SiO_(2)/Na2O ratio of the alkaline solution on the static and dynamic strengths of GRS were discussed. Microscopically, the reinforcement mechanism and coupling effect were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that the addition of 2% cement and an alkaline solution with an SiO_(2)/Na2O ratio of 0.5 led to the densest matrix, lowest porosity, and highest static compressive strength, which was 4994 kPa with a dynamic impact resistance of 75.4 kN after adding glass fiber. The compressive strength and dynamic impact resistance were a result of the coupling effect of cement hydration, a pozzolanic reaction of clay minerals in the GRS, and the alkali activation of clay minerals. Excessive cement addition or an excessively high SiO_(2)/Na2O ratio in the alkaline solution can have negative effects, such as the destruction of C-(A)-S-H gels by the alkaline solution and hindering the production of N-A-S-H gels. This can result in damage to the matrix of reinforced GRS, leading to a decrease in both static and dynamic strengths. This study suggests that further research is required to gain a more precise understanding of the effects of this mixture in terms of reducing our carbon footprint and optimizing its properties. The findings indicate that cement and alkaline solution are appropriate for GRS and that the reinforced GRS can be used for high-strength foundation and embankment construction. The study provides an analysis of strategies for mitigating and managing GRS slope failures, as well as enhancing roadbed performance.展开更多

However, achieving effective coupling between Rydberg atoms and the microwave electric field in the sensing process is a challenging problem that greatly impacts the sensitivity. To address this, we propose using a microwave resonant cavity to enhance the effective coupling between the Rydberg atoms and the microwave electric field. In our experiment, Rydberg atoms are prepared via a three-photon excitation scheme, and the electric fields are measured without and with a microwave cavity in which the vapor cell is placed inside, respectively. As a result, we achieved an 18 dB enhancement of power sensitivity by adding the cavity,which is an effective enhancement in electric field pulse signal detection. This experimental testing provides a promising direction for enhancing the sensitivity of Rydberg atomic electric field sensors and paves the way for their application in precision electric field measurements.展开更多

文摘This study presents an experimental investigation of the coupled caloric effect driven by dual-fields in metamagnetic alloy ErCo_(2) with strong magneto-structural coupling.Magnetic measurements were conducted under different pressures,revealing that the application of hydrostatic pressure stabilizes a small volume of paramagnetism(PM) phase,resulting in a shift of the phase transition temperature towards the low-temperature region.This shift is opposite to the temperature associated with the magnetic field-driven phase transition.As pressure increases,the metamagnetic transition in ErCo_(2) is suppressed,and the hysteresis disappears.However,the produced cross-coupling caloric effect compensates the decrease in entropy change caused by the disappearance of the metamagnetic transition.As a result,a reversible giant magnetocaloric effect of 46.2 J/(kg·K) without hysteresis is achieved at a pressure of 0.910 GPa.Moreover,we propose that the temperature span of ErCo_(2) can be significantly widened by optimizing the thermodynamic pathway of the magnetic and pressure fields,overcoming the defect of a narrow temperature range.

文摘Granite residual soil (GRS) is a type of weathering soil that can decompose upon contact with water, potentially causing geological hazards. In this study, cement, an alkaline solution, and glass fiber were used to reinforce GRS. The effects of cement content and SiO_(2)/Na2O ratio of the alkaline solution on the static and dynamic strengths of GRS were discussed. Microscopically, the reinforcement mechanism and coupling effect were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that the addition of 2% cement and an alkaline solution with an SiO_(2)/Na2O ratio of 0.5 led to the densest matrix, lowest porosity, and highest static compressive strength, which was 4994 kPa with a dynamic impact resistance of 75.4 kN after adding glass fiber. The compressive strength and dynamic impact resistance were a result of the coupling effect of cement hydration, a pozzolanic reaction of clay minerals in the GRS, and the alkali activation of clay minerals. Excessive cement addition or an excessively high SiO_(2)/Na2O ratio in the alkaline solution can have negative effects, such as the destruction of C-(A)-S-H gels by the alkaline solution and hindering the production of N-A-S-H gels. This can result in damage to the matrix of reinforced GRS, leading to a decrease in both static and dynamic strengths. This study suggests that further research is required to gain a more precise understanding of the effects of this mixture in terms of reducing our carbon footprint and optimizing its properties. The findings indicate that cement and alkaline solution are appropriate for GRS and that the reinforced GRS can be used for high-strength foundation and embankment construction. The study provides an analysis of strategies for mitigating and managing GRS slope failures, as well as enhancing roadbed performance.
文摘During the propagation of high-power lasers within internal channels,the laser beam heats the propagation medium,causing the thermal blooming effect that degrades the beam quality at the output.The intricate configuration of the optical path within the internal channel necessitates complex and time-consuming efforts to assess the impact of thermal blooming effect on the optical path.To meet the engineering need for rapid evaluation of thermal blooming effect in optical paths,this study proposed a rapid simulation method for the thermal blooming effect in internal optical paths based on the finite element method.This method discretized the fluid region into infinitesimal elements and employed finite element method for flow field analysis.A simplified analytical model of the flow field region in complex internal channels was established,and regions with similar thermal blooming effect were divided within this model.Based on the calculated optical path differences within these regions,numerical simulations of phase distortion caused by thermal blooming were conducted.The calculated result were compared with those obtained using the existing methods.The findings reveal that for complex optical paths,the discrepancy between the two approaches is less than 3.6%,with similar phase distortion patterns observed.For L-type units,this method and the existing methods identify the same primary factors influencing aberrations and exhibit consistent trends in their variation.This method was used to analyze the impact of thermal blooming effect in a straight channel under different gravity directions.The results show that phase distortion varies with changes in the direction of gravity,and the magnitude of the phase difference is strongly correlated with the component of gravity perpendicular to the optical axis.Compared to the existing methods,this approach offers greater flexibility,obviates the need for complex custom analysis programming.The analytical results of this method enable a rapid assessment of the thermal blooming effect in optical paths within the internal channel.This is especially useful during the engineering design.These results also provide crucial references for developing strategies to suppress thermal blooming effect.

文摘As the main geomaterials for coral reefs oil or gas extraction and underground infrastructure construction,coral reef limestone demonstrates significantly distinct mechanical responses compared to terrigenous rocks.To investigate the mechanical behaviour of coral reef limestone under the coupling impact of size and strain rate,the uniaxial compression tests were conducted on reef limestone samples with length-to-diameter(L/D)ratio ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 at strain rate ranging from 10^(−5)·s^(−1)to 10^(−2)·s^(−1).It is revealed that the uniaxial compressive strength(UCS)and residual compressive strength(RCS)of coral reef limestone exhibits a decreasing trend with L/D ratio increasing.The dynamic increase factor(DIF)of UCS is linearly correlated with the logarithm of strain rate,while increasing the L/D ratio further enhances the DIF.The elastic modulus increases with strain rate or L/D ratio increasing,whereas the Poisson’s ratio approximates to a constant value of 0.24.The failure strain increases with strain rate increasing or L/D ratio decreasing,while the increase in L/D ratio will inhibit the enhancing effect of the strain rate.The high porosity and low mineral strength are the primary factors contributing to a high RCS of 16.7%–64.9%of UCS,a lower brittleness index and multiple irregular fracture planes.The failure pattern of coral reef limestone transits from the shear-dominated to the splitting-dominated failure with strain rate increasing or L/D ratio decreasing,which is mainly governed by the constrained zones induced by end friction and the strain rate-dependent crack propagation.Moreover,a predictive formula incorporating coupling effect of size and strain rate for the UCS of reef limestone was established and verified to effectively capture the trend of UCS.

文摘The interaction between the airflow and train influences the aerodynamic characteristics and dynamic performance of high-speed trains.This study focused on the fluid-solid coupling effect of airflow and HST,and proposed a co-simulation(CS)approach between computational fluid dynamics and multi-body dynamics.Firstly,the aerodynamic model was developed by employing overset mesh technology and the finite volume method,and the detailed train-track coupled dynamic model was established.Then the User Data Protocol was adopted to build data communication channels.Moreover,the proposed CS method was validated by comparison with a reported field test result.Finally,a case study of the HST exiting a tunnel subjected to crosswind was conducted to compare differences between CS and offline simulation(OS)methods.In terms of the presented case,the changing trends of aerodynamic forces and car-body displacements calculated by the two methods were similar.Differences mainly lie in aerodynamic moments and transient wheel-rail impacts.Maximum pitching and yawing moments on the head vehicle in the two methods differ by 21.1 kN∙m and 29.6 kN∙m,respectively.And wheel-rail impacts caused by sudden changes in aerodynamic loads are significantly severer in CS.Wheel-rail safety indices obtained by CS are slightly greater than those by OS.This research proposes a CS method for aerodynamic characteristics and dynamic performance of the HST in complex scenarios,which has superiority in computational efficiency and stability.

文摘Aqueous rechargeable Ni-Fe batteries exhibit unique advantages in large-scale energy storage thanks to their affordability,safety,and reliability.However,their limited energy density and Coulombic efficiency stem from unfavorable OH^(−)adsorption capability and low electrochemical activity of Fe sites,result in electrode kinetic delays for Fe anodes.Here,we report Mn and S co-modified FeOOH(MSFF)nanosheets as an advanced anode in Ni-Fe batteries,synthesized from a facile one-step surface-redox-etching method at room temperature.Based on the strong electronic coupling effect between Mn and S atoms,such MSFF anode presents fast electron transport capability,enhanced OH^(−)-adsorption capability,and redox reactivity.Specifically,the MSFF anode can achieve a high areal capacity of 2 mAh cm^(−2)at 10 mA cm^(−2),which retains a staggering 96%of the initial capacity after undergoing 9000 cycles at a higher current density of 30 mA cm^(−2).In addition,the assembled Ni-Fe battery can provide a capacity of 0.85 mAh cm^(−2)at 16 mA cm^(−2),significantly outperforming most recently reported aqueous rechargeable batteries.This work may offer an innovative and feasible approach for modulating the local electronic structure of high-performance Ni-Fe battery electrode materials.

文摘This paper presents an improved level set method for topology optimization of geometrically nonlinear structures accounting for the effect of thermo-mechanical couplings.It derives a new expression for element coupling stress resulting from the combination of mechanical and thermal loading,using geometric nonlinear finite element analysis.A topological model is then developed to minimize compliance while meeting displacement and frequency constraints to fulfill design requirements of structural members.Since the conventional Lagrange multiplier search method is unable to handle convergence instability arising from large deformation,a novel Lagrange multiplier search method is proposed.Additionally,the proposed method can be extended to multi-constrained geometrically nonlinear topology optimization,accommodating multiple physical field couplings.
文摘Direct converting carbon dioxide(CO_(2))and propane(C_(3)H_(8))into aromatics with high carbon utilization offers a desirable opportunity to simultaneously mitigate CO_(2)emission and adequately utilize C_(3)H_(8) in shale gas.Owing to their thermodynamic resistance,converting CO_(2)and C_(3)H_(8) respectively remains difficult.Here,we achieve 60.2%aromatics selectivity and 48.8%propane conversion over H-ZSM-5-25 via a zeolite-catalyzing the coupling of CO_(2)and C_(3)H_(8).Operando dual-beam FTIR spectroscopy combined with ^(13)C-labeled CO_(2)tracing experiments revealed that CO_(2)is directly involved in the generation of aromatics,with its carbon atoms selectively embedded into the aromatic ring,bypassing the reverse water-gas shift pathway.Accordingly,a cooperative aromatization mechanism is proposed.Thereinto,lactones,produced from CO_(2)and olefins,are proven to be the key intermediate.This work not only provides an opportunity for simultaneous conversion of CO_(2)and C_(3)H_(8),but also expends coupling strategy designing of CO_(2)and alkanes over acidic zeolites.

文摘Seismicity resulting from the near-or in-field fault activation significantly affects the stability of large-scale underground caverns that are operating under high-stress conditions.A comprehensive scientific assessment of the operational safety of such caverns requires an in-depth understanding of the response characteristics of the rock mass subjected to dynamic disturbances.To address this issue,we conducted true triaxial modeling tests and dynamic numerical simulations on large underground caverns to investigate the impact of static stress levels,dynamic load parameters,and input directions on the response characteristics of the surrounding rock mass.The findings reveal that:(1)When subjected to identical incident stress waves and static loads,the surrounding rock mass exhibits the greatest stress response during horizontal incidence.When the incident direction is fixed,the mechanical response is more pronounced at the cavern wall parallel to the direction of dynamic loading.(2)A high initial static stress level specifically enhances the impact of dynamic loading.(3)The response of the surrounding rock mass is directly linked to the amplitude of the incident stress wave.High amplitude results in tensile damage in regions experiencing tensile stress concentration under static loading and shear damage in regions experiencing compressive stress concentration.These results have significant implications for the evaluation and prevention of dynamic disasters in the surrounding rock of underground caverns experiencing dynamic disturbances.

文摘Development of high-efficiency bifunctional oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)and oxygen evolution reaction(OER)electrocatalysts is vital for the widespread application of zinc-air batteries(ZABs).However,it still remains a great challenge to avoid the inhomogeneous distribution and aggregation of metal single-atomic active centers in the construction of bifunctional electrocatalysts with atomically dispersed multimetallic sites because of the common calcination method.Herein,we report a novel catalyst with phthalocyanine-assembled Fe-Co-Ni single-atomic triple sites dispersed on sulfur-doped graphene using a simple ultrasonic procedure without calcination,and X-ray absorption fine structure(XAFS),aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy(AC-STEM),and other detailed characterizations are performed to demonstrate the successful synthesis.The novel catalyst shows extraordinary bifunctional ORR/OER activities with a fairly low potential difference(ΔE=0.621 V)between the OER overpotential(Ej10=315 mV at 10 m A cm^(-2))and the ORR half-wave potential(Ehalf-wave=0.924 V).Moreover,the above catalyst shows excellent ZAB performance,with an outstanding specific capacity(786 mAh g^(-1)),noteworthy maximum power density(139 mW cm^(-2)),and extraordinary rechargeability(discharged and charged at 5 mA cm^(-2) for more than 1000 h).Theoretical calculations reveal the vital importance of the preferable synergetic coupling effect between adjacent active sites in the Fe-Co-Ni trimetallic single-atomic sites during the ORR/OER processes.This study provides a new avenue for the investigation of bifunctional electrocatalysts with atomically dispersed trimetallic sites,which is intended for enhancing the ORR/OER performance in ZABs.

文摘Sodium-ion batteries have garnered significant attention as a cost-effective alternative to lithium-ion batteries due to the abundance and affordability of sodium precursors.However,the lack of suitable electrode materials with both high capacity and excellent stability continues to hinder their practical viability.Herein,we couple lattice strain and sulfur deficiency effects in a tin monosulfide/reduced graphene oxide composite to enhance sodium storage performance.Experimental results and theoretical calculations reveal that the synergistic effects of lattice strain and sulfur vacancies in tin monosulfide promote rapid(de)intercalation near the surface/edge of the material,thereby enhancing its pseudocapacitive sodium storage properties.Consequently,the strained and defective tin monosulfide/reduced graphene oxide composite demonstrates a high reversible capacity of 511.82 mAh g^(-1) at 1 A g^(-1) and an outstanding rate capability of 450.60 mAh g^(-1) at 3 A g^(-1).This study offers an effective strategy for improving sodium storage performance through lattice strain and defect engineering.

文摘A substation is a complex coupled system composed of various electrical equipment.Compared with standalone equipment,there is a significant coupling effect in the seismic response of interconnected equipment.To address this issue,this study investigates the seismic interaction of substation equipment with multiple electrical configurations and proposes an improved seismic design method.First,the concept of the coupling coefficient is introduced,which is used to improve the Newmark-βmethod and response spectrum method for the seismic design of standalone equipment.Then,the finite element models of a substation system with multiple configurations are established,and the vibration characteristics and seismic responses of the interconnected equipment are investigated.Finally,the coupling coefficients are obtained by kernel density estimation of the response results under twenty seismic ground motions,and the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through two numerical examples.The results show that the frequency coupling coefficients vary from 0.69 to 1.42,while the seismic action coupling coefficient has a wider range,changing from 1.04 to 3.91.The coupling effect amplifies the seismic response of higher-frequency equipment,and the amplification degree varies among different configurations for the same type of equipment.

文摘Focusing on the mechanism of interfa-cial exciton dissociation in edge-on stacked ZnPc-F_(8)ZnPc aggregate,we employ the fragment particle-hole densities(FPHD)method to con-struct the Hamiltonian of diabatic states and use the non-Markovian stochastic Schrödinger equation(NMSSE)to simulate the photo-in-duced dynamics processes.The re-sults show that aggregation effects have a significant impact on the interfacial exciton dissociation process.After photo-excita-tion,the excitons first preferentially delocalize and perform the charge transfer(CT)states in the pure ZnPc or F_(8)ZnPc aggregates within 100 fs.These‘intramolecular’CT states can easi-ly evolve into interfacial CT states by hopping electrons and holes in the intramolecular CT states across the interface.Compared with these exciton dissociation processes,the direct ex-citon dissociation into interfacial CT state is relatively slow due to the small electronic cou-pling and vibrational coherence between the locally excited state and the interfacial CT state.As the temperature rises and the vibronic coherence weakens,the direct dissociation rates are significantly enhanced.This investigation provides valuable insights for the design and opti-mization of high-performance organic photovoltaic devices.

文摘Developing microwave electric field sensing based on Rydberg atoms has received significant attention due to its unique advantages. However, achieving effective coupling between Rydberg atoms and the microwave electric field in the sensing process is a challenging problem that greatly impacts the sensitivity. To address this, we propose using a microwave resonant cavity to enhance the effective coupling between the Rydberg atoms and the microwave electric field. In our experiment, Rydberg atoms are prepared via a three-photon excitation scheme, and the electric fields are measured without and with a microwave cavity in which the vapor cell is placed inside, respectively. As a result, we achieved an 18 dB enhancement of power sensitivity by adding the cavity,which is an effective enhancement in electric field pulse signal detection. This experimental testing provides a promising direction for enhancing the sensitivity of Rydberg atomic electric field sensors and paves the way for their application in precision electric field measurements.
