Continuous improvements in the accuracy of surface mass loading products, performance of Earth models, and precise data-processing technologies have significantly advanced research on the effects of environmental loading on nonlinear variations in GNSS coordinate time series. However, owing to theoretical limitations, the lack of high spatiotemporal resolution surface mass observations, and the coupling of GNSS technology-related systematic errors, environmental loading and nonlinear GNSS reference station displacements remain inconsistent. The applicability and capability of these loading products across different regions also require further evaluation. This paper outlines methods for modeling environmental loading, surface mass loading products, and service organizations. In addition, it summarizes recent advances in applying environmental loading to address nonlinear variations in global and regional GNSS coordinate time series. Moreover, the scientific questions of existing studies are summarized, and insights into future research directions are provided. The complex nonlinear motion of reference stations is a major factor limiting the accuracy of the current terrestrial reference frame. Further refining the environmental load modeling method, establishing a surface mass distribution model with high spatiotemporal resolution and reliability, exploring other environmental load factors such as ice sheet and artificial mass-change effects, and developing an optimal data-processing model and strategy for reprocessing global reference station data consistently could contribute to the development of a millimeter-level nonlinear motion model for GNSS reference stations with actual physical significance and provide theoretical support for establishing a terrestrial reference frame with 1 mm accuracy by 2050.展开更多

文摘To analyze the differences in the transport and distribution of different types of proppants and to address issues such as the short effective support of proppant and poor placement in hydraulically intersecting fractures,this study considered the combined impact of geological-engineering factors on conductivity.Using reservoir production parameters and the discrete elementmethod,multispherical proppants were constructed.Additionally,a 3D fracture model,based on the specified conditions of the L block,employed coupled(Computational Fluid Dynamics)CFD-DEM(Discrete ElementMethod)for joint simulations to quantitatively analyze the transport and placement patterns of multispherical proppants in intersecting fractures.Results indicate that turbulent kinetic energy is an intrinsic factor affecting proppant transport.Moreover,the efficiency of placement and migration distance of low-sphericity quartz sand constructed by the DEM in the main fracture are significantly reduced compared to spherical ceramic proppants,with a 27.7%decrease in the volume fraction of the fracture surface,subsequently affecting the placement concentration and damaging fracture conductivity.Compared to small-angle fractures,controlling artificial and natural fractures to expand at angles of 45°to 60°increases the effective support length by approximately 20.6%.During hydraulic fracturing of gas wells,ensuring the fracture support area and post-closure conductivity can be achieved by controlling the sphericity of proppants and adjusting the perforation direction to control the direction of artificial fractures.

文摘Rectangular explosive charges are usually used in military or civilian explosive transportation and storage.The effects of shape parameters and detonation positions on the peak overpressure and maximum impulse of blasts lack comprehensive investigation,which is significant for the design of blast-resistant structures.In this paper,the side-length ratio of the rectangle,orientation,and detonation position of the charge are chosen as controlling parameters to investigate their influence on blast loads in the scaled distances of the gauges ranging from 0.63 to 10.54 m/kg^(1/3) with well validated 3D numerical simulations.The results show that there is a large difference in the near-field spatial distribution of the blast load of the rectangular charge;if the blast load of the rectangular charge is simply evaluated with the spherical charge,the maximum peak overpressure(maximum impulse)will be underestimated by a factor of 7.46(4.84).This must be taken seriously by blast-resistant structure designers.With the increase in the scaled distance,when the critical scaled distance is greater than 6.32(7.38)m/kg^(1/3),the influence of the charge shape on the maximum peak overpressure(maximum impulse)of the spatial blast load can be ignored.In general,the impact of detonation of the charge at the end on the maximum peak overpressure is greater compared with central detonation,but for the impact of the maximum impulse,it is necessary to pay attention to the side-length ratio of the rectangular charge and the specific detonation position on the end face.Furthermore,the structural response of steel plates placed at different azimuths under the blast load of a rectangular charge is preliminarily analyzed,and the results show that the deformation and energy of the plates are consistent with the distribution of the blast load.These analysis results provide a reference for the explosion protection design in near-field air explosions.

文摘As a means of quantitative interpretation,forward calculations of the global lithospheric magnetic field in the Spherical Harmonic(SH)domain have been widely used to reveal geophysical,lithological,and geothermal variations in the lithosphere.Traditional approaches either do not consider the non-axial dipolar terms of the inducing field and its radial variation or do so by means of complicated formulae.Moreover,existing methods treat the magnetic lithosphere either as an infinitesimally thin layer or as a radially uniform spherical shell of constant thickness.Here,we present alternative forward formulae that account for an arbitrarily high maximum degree of the inducing field and for a magnetic lithosphere of variable thickness.Our simulations based on these formulae suggest that the satellite magnetic anomaly field is sensitive to the non-axial dipolar terms of the inducing field but not to its radial variation.Therefore,in forward and inverse calculations of satellite magnetic anomaly data,the non-axial dipolar terms of the inducing field should not be ignored.Furthermore,our results show that the satellite magnetic anomaly field is sensitive to variability in the lateral thickness of the magnetized shell.In particular,we show that for a given vertically integrated susceptibility distribution,underestimating the thickness of the magnetic layer overestimates the induced magnetic field.This discovery bridges the greatest part of the alleged gap between the susceptibility values measured from rock samples and the susceptibility values required to match the observed magnetic field signal.We expect the formulae and conclusions of this study to be a valuable tool for the quantitative interpretation of the Earth's global lithospheric magnetic field,through an inverse or forward modelling approach.

文摘The equivalent source(ES)method in the spherical coordinate system has been widely applied to processing,reduction,field modeling,and geophysical and geological interpretation of satellite magnetic anomaly data.However,the inversion for the ES model suffers from nonuniqueness and instability,which remain unresolved.To mitigate these issues,we introduce both the minimum and flattest models into the model objective function as an alternative regularization approach in the spherical ES method.We first present the methods,then analyze the accuracy of forward calculation and test the proposed ES method in this study by using synthetic data.The experimental results from simulation data indicate that our proposed regularization effectively suppresses the Backus effect and mitigates inversion instability in the low-latitude region.Finally,we apply the proposed method to magnetic anomaly data from China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite-1(CSES-1)and Macao Science Satellite-1(MSS-1)magnetic measurements over Africa by constructing an ES model of the large-scale lithospheric magnetic field.Compared with existing global lithospheric magnetic field models,our ES model demonstrates good consistency at high altitudes and predicts more stable fields at low altitudes.Furthermore,we derive the reduction to the pole(RTP)magnetic anomaly fields and the apparent susceptibility contrast distribution based on the ES model.The latter correlates well with the regional tectonic framework in Africa and surroundings.

文摘Nonlinear variations in the coordinate time series of global navigation satellite system(GNSS) reference stations are strongly correlated with surface displacements caused by environmental loading effects,including atmospheric, hydrological, and nontidal ocean loading. Continuous improvements in the accuracy of surface mass loading products, performance of Earth models, and precise data-processing technologies have significantly advanced research on the effects of environmental loading on nonlinear variations in GNSS coordinate time series. However, owing to theoretical limitations, the lack of high spatiotemporal resolution surface mass observations, and the coupling of GNSS technology-related systematic errors, environmental loading and nonlinear GNSS reference station displacements remain inconsistent. The applicability and capability of these loading products across different regions also require further evaluation. This paper outlines methods for modeling environmental loading, surface mass loading products, and service organizations. In addition, it summarizes recent advances in applying environmental loading to address nonlinear variations in global and regional GNSS coordinate time series. Moreover, the scientific questions of existing studies are summarized, and insights into future research directions are provided. The complex nonlinear motion of reference stations is a major factor limiting the accuracy of the current terrestrial reference frame. Further refining the environmental load modeling method, establishing a surface mass distribution model with high spatiotemporal resolution and reliability, exploring other environmental load factors such as ice sheet and artificial mass-change effects, and developing an optimal data-processing model and strategy for reprocessing global reference station data consistently could contribute to the development of a millimeter-level nonlinear motion model for GNSS reference stations with actual physical significance and provide theoretical support for establishing a terrestrial reference frame with 1 mm accuracy by 2050.

文摘The CUG_CLMFM3D series comprises high-resolution three-dimensional lithospheric magnetic field models for China and its surroundings.The first version,CUG_CLMFM3Dv1,is a spherical cap harmonic model integrating the WDMAMv2(World Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map version 2)global magnetic anomaly grid and nearly a decade of CHAMP(Challenging Minisatellite Payload for Geophysical Research and Application)satellite vector data.It achieves a~5.7 km resolution but has limitations:the WDMAMv2 grid lacks high-resolution data in the southern Xinjiang and Tibet regions,which leads to missing small-to medium-scale anomalies,and unfiltered CHAMP data introduce low-frequency conflicts with global spherical harmonic models.Above the altitude of 150 km,correlations with global models drop below 0.9.The second version,CUG_CLMFM3Dv2,addresses these issues by incorporating 5-km-resolution aeromagnetic data and rigorously processed satellite data from CHAMP,Swarm,CSES-1(China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite 1),and MSS-1(Macao Science Satellite 1).The comparison analysis shows that the CUG_CLMFM3Dv2 captures finer high-frequency details and more stable long-wavelength signals,offering improved magnetic anomaly maps for further geological and geophysical studies.

文摘With the acceleration of life pace and the increase of environmental stress,skin aging has become a major concern.Traditional anti-aging methods,such as laser therapy and injections,are effective but have limitations including side effects,complex procedures,high costs,and long recovery periods.In contrast,a topical cellular reenergizing technology using a combination system of 1%Spherical PDRN(Polydeoxyribonucleotide,a registered product name with the following composition:55%mannitol,30%trehalose,10%sodium DNA,and 5%sodium hyaluronate)and 1%Spherical Collagen(a registered product name with the following composition:55%mannitol,30%trehalose,10%collagen,and 5%sodium hyaluronate)stands out with its natural,convenient,non-invasive,and long-lasting advantages.It fundamentally addresses skin aging and provides consumers with a safer,more comfortable,and comprehensive anti-aging experience.This study prepared a combination system of Spherical PDRN and Collagen via a matrix incorporation method.It investigated mitochondrial function and morphology changes in H_(2)O_(2)-stimulated fibroblasts by measuring mitochondrial membrane potential(a key function indicator),ATP content(reflecting energy production),and mitochondrial morphology(related to cell state and stress response).These analyses provided insights into fibroblast energy metabolism and cellular mechanisms.Additionally,a precise method assessed UVA-induced NAD^(+) concentration changes in fibroblasts,reflecting metabolic and antioxidant states under stress.In H_(2)O_(2)-stimulated fibroblasts,the combination system of Spherical PDRN and Spherical Collagen at a concentration of 2.5%significantly increased the average value of mitochondrial membrane potential(polymer/monomer ratio)by 448.28%,and the content of ATP by 108.06%.The mitochondrial morphology in cells appeared as elongated rods,with normal fusion and fission occurring.In UVA-irradiated fibroblasts,the combination system of Spherical PDRN and Spherical Collagen at a concentration of 2.5%significantly increased the concentration of NAD^(+) per unit protein by 35.93%.This study investigated how the combination system of Spherical PDRN and Collagen affects mitochondrial function in fibroblasts.It was found that this system significantly boosts mitochondrial membrane potential,implying a marked rise in mitochondrial activity and energy conversion efficiency.This suggests optimized respiratory chain function and energy metabolism,which are vital for normal cellular functions and stress responses.Moreover,the system significantly raises intracellular ATP levels,directly reflecting enhanced mitochondrial energy production.This not only promotes cellular energy metabolism but also boosts cell vitality and stress resistance.Additionally,the system improves mitochondrial morphology,which is crucial for maintaining mitochondrial dynamics and function.

文摘Spherical harmonic analysis(SHA)and synthesis(SHS)are widely used by researchers in various fields.Both numerical integration and least-squares methods can be employed for analysis and synthesis.However,these approaches,when calculated via summation,are computationally intensive.Although the Fast Fourier Transform(FFT)algorithm is efficient,it is traditionally limited to processing global grid points starting from zero longitude.In this paper,we derive an improved FFT algorithm for spherical harmonic analysis and synthesis.The proposed algorithm eliminates the need for grid points to start at zero longitude,thereby expanding the applicability of FFT-based methods.Numerical experiments demonstrate that the new algorithm retains the computational efficiency of conventional FFT while achieving accuracy comparable to the summation method.Consequently,it enables direct harmonic coefficient calculation from global grid data without requiring interpolation to align with zero longitude.Additionally,the algrithm can generate grid points with equi-angular spacing using the improved FFT algorithm,starting from non-zero longitudes.To address the loss of orthogonality in latitude due to discrete spherical grids,a quadrature weight factor-dependent on grid type(e.g.,regular or Gauss grid)-is incorporated,as summarized in this study.
文摘In popular Baba-Engle-Kraft-Kroner(BEKK)and dynamic conditional correlation(DCC)multivariate generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity models,the large number of parameters and the requirement of positive definiteness of the covariance and correlation matrices pose some difficulties during the estimation process.To avoid these issues,we propose two modifications to the BEKK and DCC models that employ two spherical parameterizations applied to the Cholesky decompositions of the covariance and correlation matrices.In their full specifications,the introduced Cholesky-BEKK and Cholesky-DCC models allow for a reduction in the number of parameters compared with their traditional counterparts.Moreover,the application of spherical transformation does not require the imposition of inequality constraints on the parameters during the estimation.An application to two crude oils,WTI and Brent,and the main exchange rate prices demonstrates that the Cholesky-BEKK and Cholesky-DCC models can capture the dynamics of covariances and correlations.In addition,the Kupiec test on different portfolio compositions confirms the satisfactory performance of the proposed models.

文摘In the NanChang Spherical Tokamak(NCST),for the first time,experimental research was carried out on the dual-step toroidal field coil power supply system,which is specifically designed to assist the plasma current startup through electron cyclotron resonance heating(ECRH).The experimental results demonstrate that,in comparison to the preceding toroidal field coil power supply system,the dual-step toroidal field coil power supply system is more effective in aligning with the ECRH system and optimizing the utilisation of the toroidal electric field.This has resulted in an increase in plasma current from 30 kA to 40 kA,an extension of the discharge time from 47 ms to 123 ms,and a notable enhancement in the stability of the plasma.
文摘Herein,the liquid-solid mass trans fer characteristics in micropacked bed reactors(μPBRs)operated with immiscible liquid-liquid two-phase flow is experimentally investigated.It is found that the overall volumetric liquid-solid mass transfer coefficient(k_(s)a)increases with the total flow rate and the channelto-particle diameter ratio,while decreases with the organic-to-aqueous phase flow rate ratio.A satisfactory correlation model for calculating k_(s)a of the liquid-liquid μPBRs is developed.The new knowledge obtained would be useful in guiding the design and optimization of the liquid-liquid μPBRs.

文摘EHL-2 is an ENN second-generation device aimed at studying proton-boron(p-11B)fusion reactions in a spherical torus.The design parameters are Ti0~30 keV,Ti/Te>2,n_(e0)~1×10^(20)m^(-3),I_(p)~3 MA,B_(t)~3 T,andτ_(E)~0.5 s.High ion temperature is one of the standard operation scenarios of EHL-2,aiming to reduce bremsstrahlung radiation while enhancing plasma parameters by elevating the ion to electron temperature ratio.In order to achieve high ion temperature,neutral beam injection is considered the primary heating method during the flat-top phase.The neutral beam system for EHL-2 comprises 3-5 beams with energy/power ranging from 60 keV/4 MW,80-100 keV/10 MW,to 200 keV/3 MW.This work conducts predictive analysis on core transport during the flat-top phase of EHL-2’s high-ion-temperature scenario utilizing ASTRA.The study delineates the potential operating range of core temperature and other parameters given the designed heating capacity.Specifically,the study presents predictive simulations based on CDBM,GLF23,Bohm-gyro-Bohm,and IFSPPPL transport models,evaluating the steady-state power balance,energy confinement time,and impact of various parameters such as plasma density and NBI power on core ion temperature.The simulations demonstrate that the design parameters of the EHL-2 high-Ti scenario,although sensitive to varying transport models,are hopefully attainable as long as adequate ion heating and controlled ion transport levels are ensured.
文摘To accurately analyze proppant transport in rough intersecting fractures and elucidate the interaction mechanisms among liquid,particles,and rough walls,this study reconstructed a numerical model of fractures in inhomogeneous reservoirs with varying brittleness index(BI).Various auto-correlation Gaussian rough fracture models were created using Matlab to assess roughness through the fractal dimension method.This research innovatively combined Boolean operations to establish three-dimensional rough fracture models,incorporating(Computational Fluid Dynamics)CFD-DEM(Discrete Element Method)with a bidirectional method for cosimulation.The proppant transport in fractures was categorized into three zones based on the difference in the turbulent kinetic energy.Artificially induced fracture roughness increases fluid retention and turbulence,causing plugging effects and limiting proppant flow into branch fractures.Additionally,compared with the superior deposition and significant support effects of the spherical proppant,the low-sphericity proppant traveled farther under fracturing fluid,inducing more pronounced plugging near curved fracture intersections;the variation in fracture intersection angles primarily impacted the wall shear stress within the flow field,indicating smaller angles led to higher shear energy at the intersection.Compared with the intersection angle of 30°,the height and area deposited in the 90 branch fracture increased by 52.25%and 65.33%,respectively:notably,injecting proppant from smaller to larger particles(S:M:L)and a low velocity effectively ensured fracture conductivity near the wellbore at joint roughness coefficient(JRC)≥46 while achieving satis-factory placement in the branch fracture,making it a recommended approach.
文摘Significant progress has been made in magnetic and inertial confinement fusion(MCF and ICF)energy development since the achievement of world record parameters on the T3 tokamak in 1968.In MCF,the triple product nτT has been elevated from 5×10^(17)m^(-3)·s·keV to 1×10^(21)m^(-3)·s·keV.At the same time,Q=Pfusion/Pheating,has increased from 1×10^(-9)to 0.67,with expectations to exceed 10 in the ITER experiment.In ICF,a Q value of approximately 2.4 was attained with a fusion energy output of around 5.2 MJ.
文摘Activated carbon(AC)is considered to be an excellent adsorbent due to its high specific surface area and various functional groups.AC powders are available in sizes ranging from 44 to 150 μm.Its particle size prevent its separation from the soil.Therefore,when AC powder is applied to Cd-contaminated soil,it only reduces the bioavailability of Cd and Cd is not necessarily removed but semi-immobilized.Recovery of adsorbent materials from the soil is therefore a preferred soil remediation method.In order to achieve the separation of Cd from soil and the recovery and reuse of AC,a batch of phenolic resin(PR)-carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC)-activated carbon(AC)composite(PCC-800)with uniform particle diameter(diameter 0.8 mm)and high compressive strength was prepared.PCC-800 composites were made of PR/CMC/AC calcined at 800℃ in a certain ratio.The Barrett-Joyner-Halender results showed that the PCC-800 spheres own a mesoporous structure.The compressive strength of PCC-800 pellets was 20.6 N.After first adsorption cycle,total Cd in the soil decreased by 52.18%while bioavailable Cd decreased to 25.68%of the original soil.After three cycles,the recovery rates of PCC-800 were 90.37%and the adsorption regeneration was 72.73%.The PCC-800 immobilized Cd by adsorption,precipitation and complexation reaction.This study demonstrates the potential for developing adsorbents that are both easily separable from soil and highly effective in adsorption.
文摘Global security threats have motivated organizations to adopt robust and reliable security systems to ensure the safety of individuals and assets.Biometric authentication systems offer a strong solution.However,choosing the best security system requires a structured decision-making framework,especially in complex scenarios involving multiple criteria.To address this problem,we develop a novel quantum spherical fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution(QSF-TOPSIS)methodology,integrating quantum mechanics principles and fuzzy theory.The proposed approach enhances decision-making accuracy,handles uncertainty,and incorporates criteria relationships.Criteria weights are determined using spherical fuzzy sets,and alternatives are ranked through the QSFTOPSIS framework.This comprehensive multi-criteria decision-making(MCDM)approach is applied to identify the optimal gate security system for an organization,considering critical factors such as accuracy,cost,and reliability.Additionally,the study compares the proposed approach with other established MCDM methods.The results confirm the alignment of rankings across these methods,demonstrating the robustness and reliability of the QSF-TOPSIS framework.The study identifies the infrared recognition and identification system(IRIS)as the most effective,with a score value of 0.5280 and optimal security system among the evaluated alternatives.This research contributes to the growing literature on quantum-enhanced decision-making models and offers a practical framework for solving complex,real-world problems involving uncertainty and ambiguity.
