文摘The three-dimensional(3D)geometry of a fault is a critical control on earthquake nucleation,dynamic rupture,stress triggering,and related seismic hazards.Therefore,a 3D model of an active fault can significantly improve our understanding of seismogenesis and our ability to evaluate seismic hazards.Utilising the SKUA GoCAD software,we constructed detailed seismic fault models for the 2021 M_(S)6.4 Yangbi earthquake in Yunnan,China,using two sets of relocated earthquake catalogs and focal mechanism solutions following a convenient 3D fault modeling workflow.Our analysis revealed a NW-striking main fault with a high-angle SW dip,accompanied by two branch faults.Interpretation of one dataset revealed a single NNW-striking branch fault SW of the main fault,whereas the other dataset indicated four steep NNE-striking segments with a left-echelon pattern.Additionally,a third ENE-striking short fault was identified NE of the main fault.In combination with the spatial distribution of pre-existing faults,our 3D fault models indicate that the Yangbi earthquake reactivated pre-existing NW-and NE-striking fault directions rather than the surface-exposed Weixi-Qiaohou-Weishan Fault zone.The occurrence of the Yangbi earthquake demonstrates that the reactivation of pre-existing faults away from active fault zones,through either cascade or conjugate rupture modes,can cause unexpected moderate-large earthquakes and severe disasters,necessitating attention in regions like southeast Xizang,which have complex fault systems.

文摘Fenton and Fenton-like processes,which could produce highly reactive species to degrade organic contaminants,have been widely used in the field of wastewater treatment.Therein,the chemistry of Fenton process including the nature of active oxidants,the complicated reactions involved,and the behind reason for its strongly pH-dependent performance,is the basis for the application of Fenton and Fenton-like processes in wastewater treatment.Nevertheless,the conflicting views still exist about the mechanism of the Fenton process.For instance,reaching a unanimous consensus on the nature of active oxidants(hydroxyl radical or tetravalent iron)in this process remains challenging.This review comprehensively examined the mechanism of the Fenton process including the debate on the nature of active oxidants,reactions involved in the Fenton process,and the behind reason for the pH-dependent degradation of contaminants in the Fenton process.Then,we summarized several strategies that promote the Fe(Ⅱ)/Fe(Ⅲ)cycle,reduce the competitive consumption of active oxidants by side reactions,and replace the Fenton reagent,thus improving the performance of the Fenton process.Furthermore,advances for the future were proposed including the demand for the high-accuracy identification of active oxidants and taking advantages of the characteristic of target contaminants during the degradation of contaminants by the Fenton process.

文摘Superconducting radio-frequency(SRF)cavities are the core components of SRF linear accelerators,making their stable operation considerably important.However,the operational experience from different accelerator laboratories has revealed that SRF faults are the leading cause of short machine downtime trips.When a cavity fault occurs,system experts analyze the time-series data recorded by low-level RF systems and identify the fault type.However,this requires expertise and intuition,posing a major challenge for control-room operators.Here,we propose an expert feature-based machine learning model for automating SRF cavity fault recognition.The main challenge in converting the"expert reasoning"process for SRF faults into a"model inference"process lies in feature extraction,which is attributed to the associated multidimensional and complex time-series waveforms.Existing autoregression-based feature-extraction methods require the signal to be stable and autocorrelated,resulting in difficulty in capturing the abrupt features that exist in several SRF failure patterns.To address these issues,we introduce expertise into the classification model through reasonable feature engineering.We demonstrate the feasibility of this method using the SRF cavity of the China accelerator facility for superheavy elements(CAFE2).Although specific faults in SRF cavities may vary across different accelerators,similarities exist in the RF signals.Therefore,this study provides valuable guidance for fault analysis of the entire SRF community.

文摘The Hualien M 7.3 earthquake on April 3,2024,was a significant and strong earthquake in Taiwan,China in the past two decades.The rupture process of the main shock and strong aftershocks is of great significance to the subsequent seismic activity and seismogenic tectonic research.Based on local strong-motion data,we used the IDS(Iterative Deconvolution and Stacking)method to obtain the rupture process of the mainshock and two strong aftershocks on the 23rd.The rupture of the mainshock was mainly unilateral,lasting 31 s,with a maximum slip of 2m,and the depth of the large slip zone is about 41–49 km.There is a clear difference between the rupture depth of the main shock and the two strong aftershocks.The depths of the large slip zones of the latter two are 3–9 km and 8–10 km,respectively.There is also a significant difference in the seismogenic fault between the mainshock and the aftershocks,and we believe that there are two seismogenic fault zones in the study area,the deep and the shallow fault zone.The slip of the deep faults activates the shallow faults.

文摘Current research on heterogeneous advanced oxidation processes(HAOPs)predominantly emphasizes catalyst iteration and innovation.Significant efforts have been made to regulate the electron structure and optimize the electron distribution,thereby increasing the catalytic activity.However,this focus often overshadows an equally essential aspect of HAOPs:the adsorption effect.Adsorption is a critical initiator for triggering the interaction of oxidants and contaminants with heterogeneous catalysts.The efficacy of these interactions is influenced by a variety of physicochemical properties,including surface chemistry and pore sizes,which determine the affinities between contaminants and material surfaces.This dispar ity in affinity is pivotal because it underpins the selective removal of contaminants,especially in complex waste streams containing diverse contaminants and competing matrices.Consequently,understanding and mastering these interfacial interactions is fundamentally indispensable not only for improving pro cess efficiency but also for enhancing the selectivity of contaminant removal.Herein,we highlight the importance of adsorption-driven interfacial interactions for fundamentally elucidating the catalytic mechanisms of HAOPs.Such interactions dictate the overall performance of the treatment processes by balancing the adsorption,reaction,and desorption rates on the catalyst surfaces.Elucidating the adsorption effect not only shifts the paradigm in understanding HAOPs but also improves their practical ity in water treatment and wastewater decontamination.Overall,we propose that revisiting adsorption driven interfacial interactions holds great promise for optimizing catalytic processes to develop effective HAOP strategies.
文摘Purpose–The precast concrete slab track(PST)has advantages of fewer maintenance frequencies,better smooth rides and structural stability,which has been widely applied in urban rail transit.Precise positioning of precast concrete slab(PCS)is vital for keeping the initial track regularity.However,the cast-in-place process of the self-compacting concrete(SCC)filling layer generally causes a large deformation of PCS due to the water-hammer effect of flowing SCC,even cracking of PCS.Currently,the buoyancy characteristic and influencing factors of PCS during the SCC casting process have not been thoroughly studied in urban rail transit.Design/methodology/approach–In this work,a Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD)model is established to calculate the buoyancy of PCS caused by the flowing SCC.The main influencing factors,including the inlet speed and flowability of SCC,have been analyzed and discussed.A new structural optimization scheme has been proposed for PST to reduce the buoyancy caused by the flowing SCC.Findings–The simulation and field test results showed that the buoyancy and deformation of PCS decreased obviously after adopting the new scheme.Originality/value–The findings of this study can provide guidance for the control of the deformation of PCS during the SCC construction process.

文摘Fault diagnosis in industrial process is essential for ensuring production safety and efficiency.However,existing methods exhibit limited capability in recognizing hard samples and struggle to maintain consistency in feature distributions across domains,resulting in suboptimal performance and robustness.Therefore,this paper proposes a fault diagnosis neural network for hard sample mining and domain adaptive(SmdaNet).First,the method uses deep belief networks(DBN)to build a diagnostic model.Hard samples are mined based on the loss values,dividing the data set into hard and easy samples.Second,elastic weight consolidation(EWC)is used to train the model on hard samples,effectively preventing information forgetting.Finally,the feature space domain adaptation is introduced to optimize the feature space by minimizing the Kullback–Leibler divergence of the feature distributions.Experimental results show that the proposed SmdaNet method outperforms existing approaches in terms of classification accuracy,robustness and interpretability on the penicillin simulation and Tennessee Eastman process datasets.

文摘On December 18,2023,an M_(s)6.2 earthquake jolted Jishishan County in the Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture in Northwest China's Gansu Province,causing substantial casualties and building collapses.The earthquake occurred in the Qilian Block on the northeastern border of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,where faults are highly active and the geological structure is complex.In this study,we utilized methods such as relocation,focal mechanism solutions,and earthquake rupture processes to describe seismogenic faults.The results indicated that the majority of aftershocks occurred at a depth of 12 km.The centroid depth of the main shock and the depth of the maximum rupture point during the rupture process were also 12 km.Various geophysical methods exhibited a high degree of consistency in depth exploration.Aftershocks were distributed mainly to the west and north of the main shock and extended in the NNW direction,primarily through unilateral rupture.The main shock was a reverse thrust event with a small dextral strike-slip component.In this study,more regional data,such as previous GPS observations,field geological observations,and the distributions of the primary stress states in the region,were also incorporated.We inferred that the main shock was triggered by the main fault at the northern margin of the Lajishan Fault and that the movement of the main fault also activated some secondary faults.The compressive forces on both sides of the Lajishan Fault Zone led to the uplift of mountain areas,accompanied by some landslides,leading to this catastrophic earthquake event.In this article,the activity relationships among the 2022 M_(s)6.9 Menyuan earthquake,the 2019 M_(s)5.7 Xiahe earthquake,and the Jishishan earthquake under the action of regional stress are also discussed.This study provides additional evidence and new ideas for exploring the seismogenic process of the Lajishan Fault Zone and has implications for future in-depth research on underground activity in this region.

文摘Magnesium and magnesium alloys,serving as crucial lightweight structural materials and hydrogen storage elements,find extensive applications in space technology,aviation,automotive,and magnesium-based hydrogen industries.The global production of primary magnesium has reached approximately 1.2 million tons per year,with anticipated diversification in future applications and significant market demand.Nevertheless,approximately 80%of the world’s primary magnesium is still manufactured through the Pidgeon process,grappling with formidable issues including high energy consumption,massive carbon emission,significant resource depletion,and environmental pollution.The implementation of the relative vacuum method shows potential in breaking through technological challenges in the Pidgeon process,facilitating clean,low-carbon continuous magnesium smelting.This paper begins by introducing the principles of the relative vacuum method.Subsequently,it elucidates various innovative process routes,including relative vacuum ferrosilicon reduction,aluminum thermal reduction co-production of spinel,and aluminum thermal reduction co-production of calcium aluminate.Finally,and thermodynamic foundations of the relative vacuum,a quantitative analysis of the material,energy flows,carbon emission,and production cost for several new processes is conducted,comparing and analyzing them against the Pidgeon process.The study findings reveal that,with identical raw materials,the relative vacuum silicon thermal reduction process significantly decreases raw material consumption,energy consumption,and carbon dioxide emissions by 15.86%,30.89%,and 26.27%,respectively,compared to the Pidgeon process.The relative vacuum process,using magnesite as the raw material and aluminum as the reducing agent,has the lowest magnesium-to-feed ratio,at only 3.385.Additionally,its energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions are the lowest,at 1.817 tce/t Mg and 7.782 t CO_(2)/t Mg,respectively.The energy consumption and carbon emissions of the relative vacuum magnesium smelting process co-producing calcium aluminate(12CaO·7Al_(2)O_(3),3CaO·Al_(2)O_(3),and CaO·Al_(2)O_(3))are highly correlated with the consumption of dolomite in the raw materials.When the reduction temperature is around 1473.15 K,the critical volume fraction of magnesium vapor for different processes varies within the range of 5%–40%.Production cost analysis shows that the relative vacuum primary magnesium smelting process has significant economic benefits.This paper offers essential data support and theoretical guidance for achieving energy efficiency,carbon reduction in magnesium smelting,and the industrial adoption of innovative processes.
