We examined the long-term prognostic value of CT-FFR combined with CCTA–defined atherosclerotic extent in diabetic patients with coronary artery disease(CAD).Methods A retrospective pooled analysis of individual patient data was performed. Deep-learning-based vessel-specific CTFFR was calculated. All patients enrolled were followed-up for at least 5 years. Predictive abilities for major adverse cardiac events(MACE) were compared among three models(model 1), constructed using clinical variables;model 2, model 1+CCTA–derived atherosclerotic extent(Leiden risk score);and model 3, model 2+CT-FFR.Results A total of 480 diabetic patients [median age, 61(55–66) years;52.9% men] were included. During a median follow-up time of 2197(2126–2355) days, 55 patients(11.5%) experienced MACE. In multivariate-adjusted Cox models, Leiden risk score(HR: 1.06;95% CI: 1.01–1.11;P = 0.013) and CT-FFR ≤ 0.80(HR: 6.54;95% CI: 3.18–13.45;P < 0.001) were the independent predictors. The discriminant ability was higher in model 2 than in model 1(C-index, 0.75 vs. 0.63;P < 0.001) and was further promoted by adding CT-FFR to model 3(C-index, 0.81 vs. 0.75;P = 0.002). Net reclassification improvement(NRI) was 0.19(P = 0.009) for model 2 beyond model 1. Of note, adding CT-FFR to model 3 also exhibited significantly improved reclassification compared with model 2(NRI = 0.14;P = 0.011).Conclusion In diabetic patients with CAD, CT-FFR provides robust and incremental prognostic information for predicting longterm outcomes. The combined model exhibits improved prediction abilities, which is beneficial for risk stratification.展开更多

文摘The newly formulated non-Newtonian rivulet flows streaming down an inclined planar surface,with additional periodic perturbations arising from the application of the 2nd Stokes problem to the investigation of rivulet dynamics,are demonstrated in the current research.Hereby,the 2nd Stokes problem assumes that the surface,with a thin shared layer of the fluid on it,oscillates in a harmonic manner along the x-axis of the rivulet flow,which coincides with the main flow direction streaming down the underlying surface.We obtain the exact extension of the rivulet flow family,clarifying the structure of the pressure field,which fully absorbs the arising perturbation.The profile of the velocity field is assumed to be Gaussian-type with a non-zero level of plasticity.Hence,the absolutely non-Newtonian case of the viscoplastic flow solution,which satisfies the motion and continuity equations,is considered(with particular cases of exact solutions for pressure).The perturbed governing equations of motion for rivulet flows then result in the Riccati-type ordinary differential equation(ODE),describing the dynamics of the coordinate x(t).The approximated schematic dynamics are presented in graphical plots.
文摘Background There is still limited data on predictive value of coronary computed tomography angiography(CCTA)–derived fractional flow reserve(CT-FFR) for long term outcomes. We examined the long-term prognostic value of CT-FFR combined with CCTA–defined atherosclerotic extent in diabetic patients with coronary artery disease(CAD).Methods A retrospective pooled analysis of individual patient data was performed. Deep-learning-based vessel-specific CTFFR was calculated. All patients enrolled were followed-up for at least 5 years. Predictive abilities for major adverse cardiac events(MACE) were compared among three models(model 1), constructed using clinical variables;model 2, model 1+CCTA–derived atherosclerotic extent(Leiden risk score);and model 3, model 2+CT-FFR.Results A total of 480 diabetic patients [median age, 61(55–66) years;52.9% men] were included. During a median follow-up time of 2197(2126–2355) days, 55 patients(11.5%) experienced MACE. In multivariate-adjusted Cox models, Leiden risk score(HR: 1.06;95% CI: 1.01–1.11;P = 0.013) and CT-FFR ≤ 0.80(HR: 6.54;95% CI: 3.18–13.45;P < 0.001) were the independent predictors. The discriminant ability was higher in model 2 than in model 1(C-index, 0.75 vs. 0.63;P < 0.001) and was further promoted by adding CT-FFR to model 3(C-index, 0.81 vs. 0.75;P = 0.002). Net reclassification improvement(NRI) was 0.19(P = 0.009) for model 2 beyond model 1. Of note, adding CT-FFR to model 3 also exhibited significantly improved reclassification compared with model 2(NRI = 0.14;P = 0.011).Conclusion In diabetic patients with CAD, CT-FFR provides robust and incremental prognostic information for predicting longterm outcomes. The combined model exhibits improved prediction abilities, which is beneficial for risk stratification.

文摘Photothermal synergistic catalytic systems for treating volatile organic compounds(VOCs)have attracted signif-icant attention due to their energy efficiency and potential to reduce carbon emissions.However,the mechanism underlying the synergistic reaction remains a critical issue.This study introduces a photothermal synergistic system for the removal of ethyl acetate(EA)by synthesizing Cu-doped OMS-2(denoted as Cu-OMS-2).Under ultraviolet-visible(UV–Vis)irradiation in a flow system,the Cu-OMS-2 catalyst exhibited significantly enhanced performance in the EA degradation process,nearly doubling the effectiveness of pure OMS-2,and increasing carbon dioxide yield by 20%.This exceptional performance is attributed to the synergistic effect of increased oxygen vacancies(OV)at OMS-2 active sites and Cu doping,as confirmed by H2-TPR,O_(2)-TPD,and CO consump-tion measurements.This study clarifies the catalytic mechanism of light-assisted thermocatalysis and offers a novel strategy for designing photothermal catalysts with homogeneous Cu-doped nanorods for VOC removal.

文摘The Cooling-Storage-Ring External-target Experiment(CEE)at the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou(HIRFL)is designed to study the properties of nuclear matter created in heavy-ion collisions at beam energies from a few hundred MeV/u up to 1 GeV/u.It aims to facilitate research on the quantum chromodynamics(QCD)phase structure in the high-baryondensity region.Collective flow is a fundamental observable in heavy-ion collision experiments,providing information on the bulk properties of the produced matter.Although the standard event plane method has been widely used to measure collective flow,it is still important to validate and optimize this method for the CEE spectrometer.In this paper,we study the experimental procedures for measuring directed flow in^(238)U+^(238)U collisions at 500 MeV/u,using event planes reconstructed by Multi-Wire Drift Chamber and Zero Degree Calorimeter,respectively.Jet AA Microscopic(JAM)transport generator is used to generate events,and the detector response is simulated by the CEE Fast Simulation(CFS)package.Finally,the optimal kinematic region for proton directed flow measurements is discussed for the future CEE experiment.

文摘Debris flow events are frequent in Tajikistan,yet comprehensive investigations at the regional scale are limited.This study integrates remote sensing,Geographic Information System,and machine learning techniques to evaluate debris flow susceptibility and associated hazards across Tajikistan.A dataset comprising 405 documented debris flow points and 14 influencing factors,encompassing geological,climatic-hydrological,and anthropogenic variables,was established.Three machine learning algorithms—Random Forest,Support Vector Machine(SVM),and Multi-layer Perceptron—were applied to generate susceptibility maps and delineate debris flow risk zones.The results indicate that the areas of higher and high susceptibility accounted for 20.43%and 4.41%of the national area,respectively,and were predominantly concentrated along the Zeravshan and Vakhsh river basins.Among the evaluated models,SVM model demonstrated the highest predictive performance.Beyond conventional topographic and environmental controls,drought conditions were identified as a critical factor influencing debris flow occurrence within the arid and semi-arid mountainous regions of Tajikistan.These findings provide a scientific basis for regional debris flow risk management and disaster mitigation planning,and offer practical guidance for selecting conditioning factors in machine-learning-based susceptibility assessments in other dry mountainous environments.

文摘The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS)technique enables critical engineering predictions and is widely adopted.However,since this iterative computation relies on the fixed-point iteration,it may converge to unexpected non-physical phase points in practice.We conduct an analysis on the phase-space characteristics and the fixed-point theory underlying the k-ε turbulence model,and employ the classical Kolmogorov flow as a framework,leveraging its direct numerical simulation(DNS)data to construct a one-dimensional(1D)system under periodic/fixed boundary conditions.The RANS results demonstrate that under periodic boundary conditions,the k-ε model exhibits only a unique trivial fixed point,with asymptotes capturing the phase portraits.The stability of this trivial fixed point is determined by a mathematically derived stability phase diagram,indicating the fact that the k-ε model will never converge to correct values under periodic conditions.In contrast,under fixed boundary conditions,the model can yield a stable non-trivial fixed point.The evolutionary mechanisms and their relationship with boundary condition settings systematically explain the inherent limitations of the k-ε model,i.e.,its deficiency in computing the flow field under periodic boundary conditions and sensitivity to boundary-value specifications under fixed boundary conditions.These conclusions are finally validated with the open-source code OpenFOAM.

文摘Vortex-induced vibration(VIV)of an underwater manipulator in pulsating flow presents a notable engineering problem in precise control due to the velocity variation in the flow.This study investigates the VIV response of an underwater manipulator subjected to pulsating flow,focusing on how different postures affect the behavior of the system.The effects of pulsating parameters and manipulator arrangement on the hydrodynamic coefficient,vibration response,motion trajectory,and vortex shedding behaviors were analyzed.Results indicated that the cross flow vibration displacement in pulsating flow increased by 32.14%compared to uniform flow,inducing a shift in the motion trajectory from a crescent shape to a sideward vase shape.In the absence of interference between the upper and lower arms,the lift coefficient of the manipulator substantially increased with rising pulsating frequency,reaching a maximum increment of 67.0%.This increase in the lift coefficient led to a 67.05%rise in the vibration frequency of the manipulator in the in-line direction.As the pulsating amplitude increased,the drag coefficient of the underwater manipulator rose by 36.79%,but the vibration frequency in the cross-flow direction decreased by 56.26%.Additionally,when the upper and lower arms remained in a state of mutual interference,the cross-flow vibration amplitudes of the upper and lower arms were approximately 1.84 and 4.82 times higher in a circular-elliptical arrangement compared to an elliptical-circular arrangement,respectively.Consequently,the flow field shifted from a P+S pattern to a disordered pattern,disrupting the regularity of the motion trajectory.

文摘The Rukwa Rift section of the East Africa Rift System presents a type setting for radiogenic helium accumulation in a petroleum free basin.As a prerequisite for accumulation,a considerable high heat flow anomaly is required from tectonothermal events to drive the release and circulation of radiogenic helium in the continental crust.Here we apply statistical analysis on geochemical data observed in thermal springs and recorded heat flow to account for crustal helium mass balance for each tectonothermal event in the region.Our results demonstrate anomalously high heat flow~64-99 mW/m^(2) with a consistent trend of helium isotopic ratio and fluid chemistry in the Rukwa Rift.Mass balance calculation show that the whole crustal volume underlying the East Africa Helium Pool(EAHP)has a capability of producing radiogenic helium of about 9.9×10^(6) mol/yr(22×10^(-6) mol 4He/m^(2) yr)while the total radiogenic helium flux ranges between~2.39×10^(6) mol/yr and~2.68×10^(9) mol/yr.The Tanzania Craton contributes largely to radiogenic helium releasing up to 50% of the total capacity in the region.The total ^(4)He emission in the Rukwa Rift Basin is about 4.45×10^(5)-5.01×10^(8) mol/yr which is thus equivalent to 19%-21% of the total production capacity in the region.These results imply that the helium accumulation in the EAHP would have started as early as Paleoproterozoic(2.349 Ga).These results provide a qualitative and quantitative insight to assess both helium and geothermal potentiality in the region.
文摘In this paper,we study the asymptotic behavior of the micropolar fluid flow through a thin domain,assuming zero Dirichlet boundary condition on the top boundary,which is rapidly oscillating,and non-standard boundary conditions on the flat bottom.Assuming“Reynolds roughness regime”,in which the thickness of the domain is very small compared to the wavelength of the roughness(i.e.a very slight roughness),we rigorously derive a generalized Reynolds equation for pressure,clearly showing the roughness-induced effects.Moreover,we give expressions for the average velocity and microrotation.

文摘Automated classification of gas flow states in blast furnaces using top-camera imagery typically demands a large volume of labeled data,whose manual annotation is both labor-intensive and cost-prohibitive.To mitigate this challenge,we present an enhanced semi-supervised learning approach based on the Mean Teacher framework,incorporating a novel feature loss module to maximize classification performance with limited labeled samples.The model studies show that the proposed model surpasses both the baseline Mean Teacher model and fully supervised method in accuracy.Specifically,for datasets with 20%,30%,and 40%label ratios,using a single training iteration,the model yields accuracies of 78.61%,82.21%,and 85.2%,respectively,while multiple-cycle training iterations achieves 82.09%,81.97%,and 81.59%,respectively.Furthermore,scenario-specific training schemes are introduced to support diverse deployment need.These findings highlight the potential of the proposed technique in minimizing labeling requirements and advancing intelligent blast furnace diagnostics.

文摘Forests are experiencing more frequent and intense wildfires in Canada,which pose considerable threats to water quantity and quality,particularly during the summer low-flow period when water demand is high.While the impacts of wildfire on hydrology have been widely assessed at the watershed scale,the underlying mechanisms of the responses of summer low flows remain poorly understood.In this study,we employed an integrated research framework that combines hydrometric monitoring with geochemical tracing to evaluate how the 2021 White Rock Lake Wildfire affected summer low flows,and to identify the underlying mechanisms governing these responses in the Okanagan Valley,British Columbia(BC),Canada.We found that(1)summer low flows,represented by Q90(flows exceeded at 90%of the time in summer)significantly increased following the wildfire(p<0.05);(2)summer low flows were primarily regulated by snow water in early summer(July),while dominated by groundwater in late summer(August and September);and(3)enhanced snow water contribution and reduced evapotranspiration(ET)were two primary contributors to the increased summer low flows.Our results provide insights for developing sustainable water management strategies for the region in the context of climate change and increasing forest disturbance.This study also demonstrates that the combination of hydrometric monitoring and geochemical tracing is an effective approach towards uncovering mechanisms that drive low-flow responses.

文摘On December 18,2023,a magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck Jishishan County,Gansu Province,triggering a liquefaction-induced flow slide along the loess-mudstone contact zone and causing significant casualties and property losses.The event featured low-slope,large-scale,runout distance sliding and exhibited a clear cascading disaster chain.Its characteristics closely resemble the catastrophic mudflow at the nearby Lajia Ruins approximately 4,000 years ago.Using high-resolution oblique photogrammetry,cone penetration testing,surface wave analysis,and horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio methods,this study examines the stratigraphy,groundwater conditions,and geomechanical properties of the affected zone.Results indicate that saturated loess overlying impermeable mudstone formed a high-moisture mass vulnerable to seismic disturbance.Seismic resonance triggered the liquefaction of weakly structured loess,which slide along the contact interface and evolved into a runout distance mudflow.Underground water and terrain modification created a composite weak zone of saturated loess and softened mudstone,which intensified the disaster chain-from earthquake to liquefaction,flow slide,and mudflow.This study contributes to the understanding of deep-seated liquefaction-flow slide disasters,thereby advancing more effective risk mitigation strategies in the Loess Plateau and comparable loess-covered seismic regions.

文摘This study investigates the droplet formation for the liquid–liquid two-phase flow within a square T-junction microchannel through numerical simulation using volume of fluid method and experimental visualization using high-speed camera imaging.The T-junction microchannel has a cross-sectional width of 0.6 mm and a total length of 27.3 mm.The solution of cyclohexane with 2%and 3%mass concentrations of sorbitan trioleate surfactant were used as the continuous phase,and water was used as the dispersed phase.Slug flow,characteristic of squeezing regime,were predominantly observed.The effects of liquid–liquid two-phase flow rate ratio,and dimensionless number on droplet size,and pressure drop were investigated.The squeezing regime was mapped for 0.0005≤Ca_(c)≤0.0052(capillary number)and 0.1≤q≤10(flow rate ratio).The pressure drops of slugs were in the range from 40 Pa to 200 Pa.The slug lengths were measured between 1 mm and 9 mm.A universal flow map dependent on Ca_(c)Re_(d)^(0.5) are projected to investigate the droplet formation behavior in T-junction microchannel.Correlation expressions are proposed to predict pressure drops and the slug lengths for liquid–liquid two-phase flow in a square T-junction microchannel,using dimensionless numbers such as flow rate ratio and capillary number.The result shows that large continuous phase flow rates facilitate smaller slugs,whereas higher dispersed phase flow rates result in longer shorts.

文摘Based on reanalysis data and CMIP6 simulations,this study investigates the distinct responses of the cross-equatorial flows(CEFs)over the Maritime Continent(MC)under the simultaneous summer condition of two types of ENSO:central Pacific(CP)and eastern Pacific(EP).Results indicate that CP ENSO tends to exert stronger impacts on CEF.In CP ENSO years,significant lower-level southerly anomalies can be observed across all CEF branches adjacent to MC,accompanied by broader and deeper upper-level northerly anomalies,indicating a well-organized strengthening of both upper-and lowerlevel CEFs.In contrast,CEF anomalies in EP ENSO years tend to be weaker,with significant meridional wind anomalies confined to the east of MC.The disparities in the CEF responses can be elucidated from the perspective of convection over MC,a crucial factor in triggering CEF.In CP ENSO years,westward-leaning sea surface temperature(SST)anomalies result in a distinct cooling in MC and suppressed convection above,driving pronounced CEF anomalies.Conversely,the absence of such organized SST cooling during EP ENSO results in weaker convective forcing and subdued CEF responses.Furthermore,historical simulations from 48 CMIP6 models are utilized to validate the observational findings.Results show that model simulations can successfully reproduce the stronger impacts of CP ENSO,with a remarkable intermodel consistency.This research contributes toward a comprehensive understanding of the diversity in the relationship between CEF and ENSO types,and has implications for seasonal forecasting of CEF variability.

文摘A comprehensive assessment of grain supply,demand,and ecosystem service flows is essential for identifying grain movement pathways,ensuring regional grain security,and guiding sustainable management strategies.However,current studies primarily focus on short-term grain provision services while neglecting the spatiotemporal variations in grain flows across different scales.This gap limits the identification of dynamic matching relationships and the formulation of optimization strategies for balancing grain flows.This study examined the spatiotemporal evolution of grain supply and demand in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei(BTH)region from 1980 to 2020.Using the Enhanced TwoStep Floating Catchment Area method,the grain provision ecosystem service flows were quantified,the changes in supply–demand matching under different grain flow scenarios were analyzed and the optimal distance threshold for grain flows was investigated.The results revealed that grain production follows a spatial distribution pattern characterized by high levels in the southeast and low levels in the northwest.A significant mismatch exists between supply and demand,and it shows a scale effect.Deficit areas are mainly concentrated in the northwest,while surplus areas are mainly located in the central and southern regions.As the spatial scale increases,the ecosystem service supply–demand ratio(SDR)classification becomes more clustered,while it exhibits greater spatial SDR heterogeneity at smaller scales.This study examined two distinct scenarios of grain provision ecosystem service flow dynamics based on 100 and 200 km distance thresholds.The flow increased significantly,from 2.17 to 11.81million tons in the first scenario and from 2.41 to 12.37 million tons in the second scenario over nearly 40 years,forming a spatial movement pattern from the central and southern regions to the surrounding areas.Large flows were mainly concentrated in the interior of urban centers,with significant outflows between cities such as Baoding,Shijiazhuang,Xingtai,and Hengshui.At the county scale,supply–demand matching patterns remained consistent between the grain flows in the two scenarios.Notably,incorporating grain flow dynamics significantly reduced the number of grain-deficit areas compared to scenarios without grain flow.In 2020,grain-deficit counties decreased by28.79 and 37.88%,and cities by 12.50 and 25.0%under the two scenarios,respectively.Furthermore,the distance threshold for achieving optimal supply and demand matching at the county scale was longer than at the city scale in both grain flow scenarios.This study provides valuable insights into the dynamic relationships and heterogeneous patterns of grain matching,and expands the research perspective on grain and ecosystem service flows across various spatiotemporal scales.

文摘Detecting biomarkers in body fluids by optical lateral flow immune assay(LFIA) technology provides rapid access to disease information for early diagnosis.LFIA is based on an antigen-antibody reaction and is rapidly becoming the preferred choice of physicians and patients for point-of-care testing due to its simplicity,cost-effectiveness,and rapid detection.Observing the optical signal change from the colloidal gold of the traditional LFIA strip has been widely applied for various biomarkers detection in body fluids.Despite the significant progress,rapid real-time detection of color changes in the colloidal gold by the naked eye still faces many limitations,such as large errors and the inability to quantify and accurately detect.New optical LFIA strip technology has emerged in recent years to extend its application scenarios for achieving quantitative detection such as fluorescence,afterglow,and chemiluminescence.Herein,we summarized the development of optical LFIA technology from single to hyphenated optical signals for biomarkers detection in body fluids from invasive and non-invasive sources.Moreover,the challenge and outlook of optical LFIA strip technology are highlighted to inspire the designing of next-generation diagnostic platforms.
