However, the conventional passive hydro-pneumatic suspension can’t adjust parameters according to the complicated road environment of heavy vehicles to fulfill the requirements of the vehicle ride comfort. In this paper, a semi-active hydro-pneumatic suspension system based on the electro-hydraulic proportional valve control is proposed, and fuzzy control is used as the control strategy to adjust the?damping force of the semi-active hydro-pneumatic suspension. A 1/4?semi-active hydro-pneumatic suspension model is established, which is co-simulated with AMESim and MATLAB/Simulink. The co-simulation results show that the semi-active hydro-pneumatic suspension system can significantly reduce vibration of the vehicle body, and improve the suspension performance comparing with passive hydro-pneumatic suspension.展开更多

According to road conditions, the two springs play different roles. The method for matching the composite suspension stiffness and distributing the load is proposed. The working pressure of hydro-pneumatic spring as well as the load and stiffness characteristics of composite suspension is compared with a pure hydro-pneumatic suspension. In addition, the ISO weighted vehicle body acceleration, suspension travel and relative dynamic load of the wheels between two kinds of suspension are analyzed with a quarter vehicle mode. The simulation result shows that the developed composite suspension is more suitable for off-road vehicle than the one hydro-pneumatic suspension, because the composite suspension can reduce the working pressure, improve the reliability and keep a similar ride comfort with hydro-pneumatic suspension.展开更多

A new fault detection method is proposed,which is based on the remote parameter control（ RPC） technology for vehicle hydro-pneumatic suspension system. The transfer function between the drive signals and the axle head acceleration should be identified before the RPC iterative calculation on a computer. By contrasting with the desired frequency response functions（ FRF）,excited through the sample spectrum of road,the iterative convergence speed of the drive function and weighted error are used to detect faults existing in the vehicle＇s suspension. Experimental results show that during the process of regeneration of the acceleration signal at the axle head,the characteristics of failure of the hydro-pneumatic spring are changed randomly resulting in a dramatic increase in calculation of the RPC iterative,which enables relatively large iterative convergence errors. This method can quickly detect and locate a suspension fault and is a simple bench test way in suspension fault detection.展开更多

文摘Stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy(STORM),as a typical technique of single-molecule localization microscopy(SMLM),has overcome the diffraction limit by randomly switching fluorophores between fluorescent and dark states,allowing for the precise localization of isolated emission patterns and the super-resolution reconstruction from millions of localized positions of single fluorophores.A critical factor influencing localization precision is the photo-switching behavior of fluorophores,which is affected by the imaging buffer.The imaging buffer typically comprises oxygen scavengers,photo-switching reagents,and refractive index regulators.Oxygen scavengers help prevent photobleaching,photo-switching reagents assist in facilitating the conversion of fluorophores,and refractive index regulators are used to adjust the refractive index of the solution.The synergistic interaction of these components promotes stable blinking of fluorophores,reduces irreversible photobleaching,and thereby ensures high-quality super-resolution imaging.This review provides a comprehensive overview of the essential compositions and functionalities of imaging buffers used in STORM,serving as a valuable resource for researchers seeking to select appropriate imaging buffers for their experiments.

文摘Maglev trains experience significant aerodynamic effects when passing through tunnels.A moving model test was conducted to explore the practical effects of speed reduction and entrance buffer structures on mitigating tunnel/maglev aerodynamic effects.It is found that both have an overall positive effect on mitigating the aerodynamic environment inside and outside the tunnel.Trains operating at 200 km/h show a 49.8%decrease in peak-to-peak pressure and a 50.7%decrease in transient pressure instability on inner walls compared to those at 280 km/h.Lower speeds resulted in a 65.6%decrease in amplitude and a 24.5%decrease in decay rate,both of which are parameters for exponential fittings of pressure peaks that decay naturally after the train leaves.The buffer structures result in a reduction of up to 25.7%in the maximum positive pressure and a 29.0%decrease in transient pressure instability.Additionally,a reduction in amplitude of up to 21.2%and a 32.2%increase in decay rate were observed with the use of buffer structures.Nevertheless,it is difficult to conclude direct correlations between the maximum pressure,peak-to-peak values,etc.,and the speeds or buffer structures due to the complex wave propagation in tunnels.However,speed reduction and buffer structures are proven to be effective in reducing the micro-pressure wave levels with a simpler monotonic relationship.

文摘Man-made superheavy elements(SHE)are produced as energetic recoils in complete-fusion reactions and need to be thermalized in a gas-filled chamber for chemical studies.The ever-shorter half-lives and decreasing production rates of the elements beyond Fl(atomic number Z=114)-the heaviest element chemically studied today-require the development of novel techniques for quantitative thermalization and fast extraction efficiency.The Universal high-density gas stopping Cell(UniCell),currently under construction,was proposed to achieve this.Within this work,we propose an Ion Transfer by Gas Flow(ITGF)device,which serves as a UniCell ejector to interface with a gas chromatography detector array for chemical studies.Detailed parameter optimizations,using gas dynamics and Monte Carlo ion-trajectory simulations,promise fast(within a few ms)and highly efficient(up to 100%)ion extraction across a wide mass range.These ions can then be transmitted quantitatively through the ITGF into the high-pressure environment needed for further chemical studies.

文摘Temperate forests exert significant biogeophysical influences on local and regional climates through modulating the energy and moisture exchanges between the land surface and the atmosphere,thereby serving as crucial barriers with significant buffering impacts on the productivity of adjacent agricultural ecosystems.However,the extent and underlying mechanisms of these biogeophysical and buffering effects of temperate forest barriers remains insufficiently understood.In this study,we integrated the dynamic crop model Noah-MP-Crop with the Weather Research and Forecasting(WRF)model to investigate the biogeophysical climate regulation of temperate forests and its buffering effects on crop yields in adjacent agricultural lands across Northeast China.Our findings revealed that temperate forest barriers induced significant local climate effects by cooling air and surface temperatures and reducing wind speeds within forested areas during the growing season,while also regulating non-local climate,particularly by altering regional precipitation patterns,2 m water vapor mixing ratio(Q2),and soil moisture,predominantly in adjacent cropland areas.Furthermore,these forest barriers were found to modulate climate extremes,through affecting maximum temperature and wind speed on a local scale,as well as both maximum and minimum Q2 in non-local croplands.Our study also observed that temperate forest barriers,through biogeophysical climate regulation,enhanced GPP,NPP,and grain yields across most cropland areas.This productivity boost was especially pronounced,with yield increases up to 20%in certain regions during the extreme drought conditions of 2017,underscoring the critical role of temperate forest barriers in sustaining and enhancing crop yields under severe climatic stress.Our findings underscore the significant buffering effects of temperate forest barriers on regional agricultural production,having important implications for climate adaptation strategies aimed at bolstering agricultural resilience in the face of increasing climate variability and extremes.

文摘The shop scheduling problem with limited buffers has broad applications in real-world production scenarios,so this research direction is of great practical significance.However,there is currently little research on the hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with limited buffers(LBHFSP).This paper deeply investigates the LBHFSP to optimize the goal of the total completion time.To better solve the LBHFSP,a multi-level subpopulation-based particle swarm optimization algorithm(MLPSO)is proposed,which is founded on the attributes of the LBHFSP and the shortcomings of the basic PSO(particle swarm optimization)algorithm.In MLPSO,firstly,considering the impact of the limited buffers on the process of subsequent operations,a specific circular decoding strategy is developed to accommodate the characteristics of limited buffers.Secondly,an initialization strategy based on blocking time is designed to enhance the quality and diversity of the initial population.Afterward,a multi-level subpopulation collaborative search is developed to prevent being trapped in a local optimum and improve the global exploration capability.Additionally,a local search strategy based on the first blocked job is designed to enhance the MLPSO algorithm’s exploitation capability.Lastly,numerous experiments are carried out to test the performance of the proposed MLPSO by comparing it with classical intelligent optimization and popular algorithms in recent years.The results confirm that the proposed MLPSO has an outstanding performance when compared to other algorithms when solving LBHFSP.

文摘Aqueous zinc-ion batteries(AZIBs)have developed rapidly in recent years but still face several challenges,including zinc dendrites growth,hydrogen evolution reaction,passivation and corrosion.The pH of the electrolyte plays a crucial role in these processes,significantly impacting the stability and reversibility of Zn^(2+)deposition.Therefore,pH-buffer tris(hydroxymethyl)amino methane(tris)is chosen as a versatile electrolyte additive to address these issues.Tris can buffer electrolyte pH at Zn/electrolyte interface by protonated/deprotonated nature of amino group,optimize the coordination environment of zinc solvate ions by its strong interaction with zinc ions,and simultaneously create an in-situ stable solid electrolyte interface membrane on the zinc anode surface.These synergistic effects effectively restrain dendrite formation and side reactions,resulting in a highly stable and reversible Zn anode,thereby enhancing the electrochemical performance of AZIBs.The Zn||Zn battery with 0.15 wt%tris additives maintains stable cycling for 1500 h at 4 mA·cm^(−2) and 1120 h at 10 mA·cm^(−2).Furthermore,the Coulombic efficiency reaches~99.2%at 4 mA·cm^(−2)@1 mAh·cm^(−2).The Zn||NVO full batteries also demonstrated a stable specific capacity and exceptional capacity retention.
文摘Photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide(H_(2)O_(2))production offers a sustainable route to convert water and oxygen into H_(2)O_(2)using solar energy.However,achieving long-term stability in photocatalysts remains a critical challenge due to mismatched kinetics between oxygen reduction(ORR)and water oxidation(WOR),which leads to hole accumulation and oxidative degradation.Here,we report a redox-mediated strategy to address this bottleneck by designing a hydroquinone-embedded covalent organic framework(Tz-QH-COF)that enables reversible hole buffering and kinetic balance.The hydroquinone(QH)units act as dynamic hole reservoirs,capturing excess holes during ORR and converting to benzoquinone(Q),which is regenerated to QH via WOR,thereby preventing oxidative decomposition.This reversible QH/Q cycle,directly visualized through in situ attenuated total reflection surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy,ensures unmatched stability,achieving continuous H_(2)O_(2) production for 528 h(22 d)with an accumulated yield of 18.6 mmol L^(–1)—the highest reported duration for organic photocatalysts.Density functional theory calculations reveal that the QH units exhibit a strong oxygen adsorption energy and favorable two-electron ORR/WOR pathways with low energy barriers.The synergy between experimental and theoretical insights elucidates a redox-mediated charge-balance mechanism,advancing the design of robust photocatalysts for solar-driven H_(2)O_(2) synthesis.

文摘The buffer zone of a World Natural Heritage Site constitutes a critical element of the heritage site protection system.It not only functions as an ecological security barrier,but also significantly influences the visual integrity and aesthetic value of the core area’s landscape.Given the rapid development of transportation infrastructure,particularly the growing number of high-speed railways traversing ecologically sensitive regions,the scientific assessment of their impact on the landscape environment of heritage sites has emerged as a pivotal concern in heritage conservation and regional development.This study focused on the section of the Guiyang-Nanning High-Speed Railway that traverses the buffer zone of the Libo World Natural Heritage Site in Guizhou Province.Beginning with five primary indicators,including natural landscape and aesthetic value,geological geomorphology and Earth history value,biodiversity value,integrity and protection management,and impact on ecological environment,a visual landscape impact assessment system for high-speed railways was developed based on the analytic hierarchy process(AHP)and the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method(FCE).Through expert scoring,hierarchical weight calculation,and fuzzy membership degree analysis,a comprehensive assessment was conducted on the landscape ecological quality,visual coordination,and aesthetic perception within the buffer zone following the construction of high-speed railways.The findings indicate that the construction of the Guiyang-Nanning High-Speed Railway generally harmonizes well with the landscape environment of the heritage site.The level of visual disturbance remains within an acceptable range and has not significantly damaged the overall aesthetic value or authenticity of the heritage site.Although the integrity of the landscape in certain local areas has experienced a slight decline due to the exposure of bridge and slope structures,the adverse effects have been effectively mitigated through engineering interventions such as vegetation restoration and color coordination.This study innovatively integrates the AHP with fuzzy mathematics methods to achieve a comprehensive evaluation that combines both qualitative and quantitative approaches.This integration provides a scientifically grounded analytical path and a practical technical framework for assessing the visual impact of linear infrastructure projects,such as high-speed railways,within the buffer zones of World Heritage Sites.The findings offer valuable insights for the protection of landscapes and the sustainable development of infrastructure in heritage sites.
