Impact glasses can be categorized as either local or exotic. Those preserving geochemical signatures matching local lithologies (e.g., mare basalts or their single minerals) or regolith bulk soil compositions are classified as “local”. Otherwise, they could be defined as “exotic”. The analysis of exotic glasses provides the opportunity to explore previously unsampled lunar areas. This study focuses on the identification of exotic glasses within the Chang’e-5 (CE-5) soil sample by analyzing the trace elements of 28 impact glasses with distinct major element compositions in comparison with the CE-5 bulk soil. However, the results indicate that 18 of the analyzed glasses exhibit trace element compositions comparable to those of the local CE-5 materials. In particular, some of them could match the local single mineral component in major and trace elements, suggesting a local origin. Therefore, it is recommended that the investigation be expanded from using major elements to including nonvolatile trace elements, with a view to enhancing our understanding on the provenance of lunar impact glasses. To achieve a more accurate identification of exotic glasses within the CE-5 soil sample, a novel classification plot of Mg# versus La is proposed. The remaining 10 glasses, which exhibit diverse trace element variations, were identified as exotic. A comparative analysis of their chemical characteristics with remote sensing data indicates that they may have originated from the Aristarchus, Mairan, Sharp, or Pythagoras craters. This study elucidates the classification and possible provenance of exotic materials within the CE-5 soil sample, thereby providing constraints for the enhanced identification of local and exotic components at the CE-5 landing site.展开更多

文摘A series of transparent,intrinsically flame-retardant,and impact-resistant poly(carbonates-b-siloxanes)were synthesized by incorporating Schiff-base modified polysiloxanes(DMS-Schiff)and naphthalene-sulfonate units into the polycarbonate(PC)chain.In addition to high transparency,the resultant copolymers(SS-co-PC5,SS-co-PC9,SS-co-PC14,and SS-co-PC20)exhibited remarkable improvements in fire safety and mechanical performance.Compared to pure PC,these copolymers demonstrated significantly enhanced limiting oxygen index(LOI,up to 34.5%)and a UL-94 V-0 rating under a thickness of only 1.6 mm.The incorporation of the polysiloxane blocks not only improved flame retardancy but also enhanced the impact strength,with SS-co-PC9 showing a 48%increase in elongation at break and a 38%rise in impact toughness compared to pure PC.In addition,SS-co-PC9 presented high mechanical strength.The synergistic effects between the naphthalene-sulfonate and polysiloxane blocks,along with the well-controlled polysiloxane phase separation(sulfonate units enabled lower processing viscosity of copolymers),led to superior comprehensive performance.These findings provide a promising pathway to create high-performance copolycarbonates for real-world applications.
文摘Purpose:For a set of 1,561 Open Access(OA)and non-OA journals in business and economics,this study evaluates the relationships between four citation metrics-five-year Impact Factor(5IF),CiteScore,Article Influence(AI)score,and SCImago Journal Rank(SJR)-and the journal ratings assigned by expert reviewers.We expect that the OA journals will have especially high citation impact relative to their perceived quality(reputation).Design/methodology/approach:Regression is used to estimate the ratings assigned by expert reviewers for the 2021 CABS(Chartered Association of Business Schools)journal assessment exercise.The independent variables are the four citation metrics,evaluated separately,and a dummy variable representing the OA/non-OA status of each journal.Findings:Regardless of the citation metric used,OA journals in business and economics have especially high citation impact relative to their perceived quality(reputation).That is,they have especially low perceived quality(reputation)relative to their citation impact.Research limitations:These results are specific to the CABS journal ratings and the four citation metrics.However,there is strong evidence that CABS is closely related to several other expert ratings,and that 5IF,CiteScore,AI,and SJR are representative of the other citation metrics that might have been chosen.Practical implications:There are at least two possible explanations for these results:(1)expert evaluators are biased against OA journals,and(2)OA journals have especially high citation impact due to their increased accessibility.Although this study does not allow us to determine which of these explanations are supported,the results suggest that authors should consider publishing in OA journals whenever overall readership and citation impact are more important than journal reputation within a particular field.Moreover,the OA coefficients provide a useful indicator of the extent to which anti-OA bias(or the citation advantage of OA journals)is diminishing over time.Originality/value:This is apparently the first study to investigate the impact of OA status on the relationships between expert journal ratings and journal citation metrics.

文摘Excellent detonation performances and low sensitivity are prerequisites for the deployment of energetic materials.Exploring the underlying factors that affect impact sensitivity and detonation performances as well as exploring how to obtain materials with desired properties remains a long-term challenge.Machine learning with its ability to solve complex tasks and perform robust data processing can reveal the relationship between performance and descriptive indicators,potentially accelerating the development process of energetic materials.In this background,impact sensitivity,detonation performances,and 28 physicochemical parameters for 222 energetic materials from density functional theory calculations and published literature were sorted out.Four machine learning algorithms were employed to predict various properties of energetic materials,including impact sensitivity,detonation velocity,detonation pressure,and Gurney energy.Analysis of Pearson coefficients and feature importance showed that the heat of explosion,oxygen balance,decomposition products,and HOMO energy levels have a strong correlation with the impact sensitivity of energetic materials.Oxygen balance,decomposition products,and density have a strong correlation with detonation performances.Utilizing impact sensitivity of 2,3,4-trinitrotoluene and the detonation performances of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene-1,3,5-triamine as the benchmark,the analysis of feature importance rankings and statistical data revealed the optimal range of key features balancing impact sensitivity and detonation performances:oxygen balance values should be between-40%and-30%,density should range from 1.66 to 1.72 g/cm^(3),HOMO energy levels should be between-6.34 and-6.31 eV,and lipophilicity should be between-1.0 and 0.1,4.49 and 5.59.These findings not only offer important insights into the impact sensitivity and detonation performances of energetic materials,but also provide a theoretical guidance paradigm for the design and development of new energetic materials with optimal detonation performances and reduced sensitivity.

文摘The diffusion and dynamic behaviors of liquid metal droplet during impact significantly affect its application in 3D printing and painting processes.To obtain a better understanding of the impact process of liquid metal droplets,we analyze the influence of different initial conditions and substrate materials on droplet spreading,impact force,and elastic wave propagation on the substrate.It is found that an agglomeration phenomenon can be observed when the liquid metal droplets impact onto a soft elastomer substrate,which is not observed as a metal substrate is employed.Regardless of the substrate material,when surface tension dominates the diffusion,the diffusion factor of droplets is proportional to We(Weber number).It is also observed that the self-similarity of liquid metal droplet impact force on copper substrates,which is not the case for soft elastomer substrates.Using smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH)simulations,the time-domain curve and peak point of the droplet can be well predicted for a metal substrate.Furthermore,by recording the acceleration signal on the substrates,we further obtain the energy radiated by elastic waves,providing an explanation for energy conversion during the impact process with varying parameters.The results provide an additional understanding on the complex impact behaviors of liquid metal droplets.
文摘Land use transformations in Sonipat District,Haryana,driven by urbanization,industrialization,and land acquisitions,have posed significant ecological and socio-economic challenges,particularly concerning food security.This study investigates the interplay between these land use changes and their environmental implications at macro(district)and micro(village)levels,focusing on agricultural productivity and resource sustainability.The study employs a mixed-method approach,integrating secondary data from official datasets and primary data gathered through structured household surveys,focus group discussions,and visual analysis techniques.Data from 20 villages,selected based on predominant land use characteristics,were analysed using statistical and geospatial tools,including ArcGIS and STATA,to quantify food grain losses and evaluate environmental degradation.Findings of this study reveal a 19%reduction in agricultural land over two decades(2000-2024),correlating with increased residential and industrial areas.Groundwater resources face severe overexploitation,with pollution from industrial clusters further degrading water and soil quality.The study estimates a total food grain loss of 1.5 million kilograms across surveyed villages due to land acquisitions.A strong positive correlation(R^(2)=0.98)between land acquisition and food loss underscores the direct impact of urbanization on agricultural output.The research underscores the urgency of sustainable land management practices,including preserving agricultural lands,optimizing groundwater usage,and enhancing community involvement in planning.By addressing these challenges,the study advocates for balanced urban expansion and food security to ensure ecological and economic resilience in the region.

文摘In rock drilling and blasting,the misfire of electronic detonators will not only affect the rock fragmentation result but also bring serious potential safety hazards to engineering construction.An accurate and comprehensive understanding of the failure mechanisms of electronic detonators subjected to impact loading is of great significance to the reliability design and field safety use of electronic detonators.The spatial distribution characteristics and failure modes of misfired electronic detonators under different application scenarios are statistically analysed.The results show that under high impact loads,electronic detonators will experience failure phenomena such as rupture of the fuse head,fracture of the bridge wire,falling off of the solder joint,chip module damage and insufficient initiation energy after deformation.The lack of impact resistance is the primary cause of misfire of electronic detonators.Combined with the underwater impact resistance test and the impact load test in the adjacent blasthole on site,the formulas of the impact failure probability of the electronic detonator under different stress‒strength distribution curves are deduced.The test and evaluation method of the impact resistance of electronic detonators based on stress‒strength interference theory is proposed.Furthermore,the impact failure model of electronic detonators considering the strength degradation effect under repeated random loads is established.On this basis,the failure mechanism of electronic detonators under different application environments,such as open-pit blasting and underground blasting,is revealed,which provides scientific theory and methods for the reliability analysis,design and type selection of electronic detonators in rock drilling and blasting.

文摘Lunar impact glasses have been identified as crucial indicators of geochemical information regarding their source regions. Impact glasses can be categorized as either local or exotic. Those preserving geochemical signatures matching local lithologies (e.g., mare basalts or their single minerals) or regolith bulk soil compositions are classified as “local”. Otherwise, they could be defined as “exotic”. The analysis of exotic glasses provides the opportunity to explore previously unsampled lunar areas. This study focuses on the identification of exotic glasses within the Chang’e-5 (CE-5) soil sample by analyzing the trace elements of 28 impact glasses with distinct major element compositions in comparison with the CE-5 bulk soil. However, the results indicate that 18 of the analyzed glasses exhibit trace element compositions comparable to those of the local CE-5 materials. In particular, some of them could match the local single mineral component in major and trace elements, suggesting a local origin. Therefore, it is recommended that the investigation be expanded from using major elements to including nonvolatile trace elements, with a view to enhancing our understanding on the provenance of lunar impact glasses. To achieve a more accurate identification of exotic glasses within the CE-5 soil sample, a novel classification plot of Mg# versus La is proposed. The remaining 10 glasses, which exhibit diverse trace element variations, were identified as exotic. A comparative analysis of their chemical characteristics with remote sensing data indicates that they may have originated from the Aristarchus, Mairan, Sharp, or Pythagoras craters. This study elucidates the classification and possible provenance of exotic materials within the CE-5 soil sample, thereby providing constraints for the enhanced identification of local and exotic components at the CE-5 landing site.

文摘This work reveals the significant effects of cobalt(Co)on the microstructure and impact toughness of as-quenched highstrength steels by experimental characterizations and thermo-kinetic analyses.The results show that the Co-bearing steel exhibits finer blocks and a lower ductile-brittle transition temperature than the steel without Co.Moreover,the Co-bearing steel reveals higher transformation rates at the intermediate stage with bainite volume fraction ranging from around 0.1 to 0.6.The improved impact toughness of the Co-bearing steel results from the higher dense block boundaries dominated by the V1/V2 variant pair.Furthermore,the addition of Co induces a larger transformation driving force and a lower bainite start temperature(BS),thereby contributing to the refinement of blocks and the increase of the V1/V2 variant pair.These findings would be instructive for the composition,microstructure design,and property optimization of high-strength steels.
