文摘Backfill is routinely adopted as a ground support measure for underground mines.However,ground stability enhancement by backfill has received limited research attention.This is likely to be because of the conventional assumption that the fill material exhibits a significantly lower stiffness than the host rocks.Significantly,a recent pioneering work revealed the time-dependent ground stability around a backfilled stope with vertical walls through numerical modeling.In practice,underground stopes typically exhibit a higher or lower degree of inclination.This alters the stress state in peripheral rocks and may induce severe instability and dilution,particularly in stope-hanging walls.Hence,it is imperative to analyze the time-dependent ground stability of inclined backfilled stopes for backfill structure design.Therefore,comprehensive numerical simulations were performed using FLAC3D to address this knowledge deficiency by incorporating a coupled analysis of the backfill consolidation behavior and long-term creep deformation in surrounding rocks.The ground stability was evaluated based on the confinement effectiveness,strength-stress ratio,stress path relative to the yield surface,and time-dependent stress redistribution in the rocks.A parametric study revealed that the inclination angle of the backfilled stope reduced the confinement effectiveness in the host rocks when the wall creep was minor.This exacerbated the rock mass sloughing potential.However,a backfilled stope with a shallower dip angle achieved superior ground stability enhancement when the creep deformation was substantial,by applying a more significant compression on the backfill and effectively mobilizing its passive support performance during consolidation.Additional simulations were conducted to analyze the effects of stope height and width,mine depth,mechanical properties of rocks,backfill compressibility,and filling gap on the time-dependent stress redistribution and stability around the inclined backfilled stope.

文摘Single-atom nanozymes(SAzymes)exhibit exceptional catalytic efficiency due to their maximized atom utilization and precisely modulated metalcarrier interactions,which have attracted significant attention in the biomedical field.However,stability issues may impede the clinical translation of SAzymes.This review provides a comprehensive overview of the applications of SAzymes in various biomedical fields,including disease diagnosis(e.g.,biosensors and diagnostic imaging),antitumor therapy(e.g.,photothermal therapy,photodynamic therapy,sonodynamic therapy,and immunotherapy),antimicrobial therapy,and anti-oxidative stress therapy.More importantly,the existing challenges of SAzymes are discussed,such as metal atom clustering and active site loss,ligand bond breakage at high temperature,insufficient environment tolerance,biosecurity risks,and limited catalytic long-term stability.Finally,several innovative strategies to address these stability concerns are proposed—synthesis process optimization(space-limited strategy,coordination site design,bimetallic synergistic strategy,defect engineering strategy,atom stripping-capture),surface modification,and dynamic responsive design—that collectively pave the way for robust,clinically viable SAzymes.

文摘Selective catalytic reduction with NH3(NH3-SCR)is an important means of NO_(x) abatement from stationary and mobile sources,and the key element is efficient and stable NH3-SCR catalysts.In this study,we propose a method to construct superior Fe-Beta catalysts based on Al-rich zeolites.This strategy successfully promotes the formation of NH3-SCR-active isolated Fe^(3+)species,thus effectively improving the low-temperature activity of the Fe-Beta catalysts.Thanks to the abundant Brønsted acid sites of the Al-rich zeolite,the Fe_(2)O_(3) particles are redispersed and anchored as isolated Fe^(3+)during hydrothermal aging.This dynamic evolution of Fe species makes up for the adverse effect of dealumination of the Al-rich zeolite framework and achieves high stability for the Al-rich Fe-Beta catalyst.This study may promote the understanding of highly efficient and stable catalyst design using Al-rich zeolites.

文摘In this paper,we are concerned with the stability of traveling wavefronts of a Belousov-Zhabotinsky model with mixed nonlocal and degenerate diffusions.Such a system can be used to study the competition among nonlocally diffusive species and degenerately diffusive species.We prove that the traveling wavefronts are exponentially stable,when the initial perturbation around the traveling waves decays exponentially as x→-∞,but in other locations,the initial data can be arbitrarily large.The adopted methods are the weighted energy with the comparison principle and squeezing technique.

文摘Rock slope instability is a prevalent geological hazard that imposes significant adverse impacts on engineering activities.Although existing studies have focused on homogeneous rock slopes,the theoretical models for quantifying the stability of softhard interbedded anti-inclined slopes remain underdeveloped,primarily due to the complex force transfer mechanisms involved.This study proposed a novel theoretical model for the stability analysis of soft-hard interbedded anti-inclined slopes under rainfall conditions.The framework models stratified rock layers as layered cantilever beams with material heterogeneity.Based on the principle of deformation compatibility,it comprehensively accounted for interlayer force transfer and strength degradation resulting from differential deformations among rock layers.Furthermore,it integrated the critical instability length induced by the self-weight of rock layers to determine the fracture depth.The proposed method was validated against engineering case studies and physical model tests,with error falling within an acceptable range.Compared to existing theoretical methods,the proposed method provided a more realistic representation of the slope's stress field.The analysis results demonstrate that rainfall not only reduces the inclination angle of the failure surface but also leads to an approximate 30%decrease in the safety factor.The proposed theoretical model is particularly useful for quickly calculating the stability of soft-hard interbedded anti-inclined rock slope under rainfall conditions,compared to complex and time-consuming numerical simulation calculations.

文摘A design idea for single-component metamaterial plates is proposed to achieve the thermal stability of flexural wave bandgap by the perforated and pre-curved patterns.The band structure analysis suggests that perforation can release part of the in-plane thermal expansion to weaken the softening effect of thermal stress.Introducing precurved components to the perforated structure will stop the decrement of the bandgap frequency in thermal environment,and even make the frequency higher with appropriate structural parameters.The bending stiffness of the heated plate is enhanced by the thermal deflection induced stiffening effect of the pre-curved components.The segmented pre-curved component presents a strong ability to resist the thermal influence on the flexural wave bandgap.A simplified model is established for the local structure of the precurved component.The theoretical calculations explain the thermally induced frequency increment of the bandgap and the discrepancy in the thermal response between the two pre-curved models.The transmittance of flexural wave validates the effectiveness of the proposed design.

文摘Peri-urban plantations in the Mediterranean are often degraded due to human inactivity and climate change,leading to a loss of ecosystem services and biodiversity.This study investigates the impact of different thinning practices on carbon sequestration and tree stability in a degraded periurban plantation in the Italian Apennines,six years after thinning.Three treatments were compared:(a)moderate thinning from below(-25%biomass),representing the typical practice;(b)intense selective thinning(-35%biomass),representing an innovative approach;and(c)no management as the control.Growth projections were used to estimate carbon recovery for these treatments,based on site-specific models calibrated with real data.The results show that both thinning approaches increased carbon sequestration over time,with the innovative thinning achieving a 7%higher annual carbon sequestration rate than traditional thinning and 8%more than the control.Estimated payback times were9 years for recovering the harvested volume in both thinning approaches,10 years for innovative thinning to surpass traditional thinning,17 years for innovative thinning to surpass the control,and 24 years for traditional thinning to surpass the control.Additionally,tree mechanical stability improved significantly in both thinning treatments after two years,with further increases observed in the innovative thinning group after six years.These results suggest that selective thinning can accelerate forest recovery and carbon sequestration,especially in areas with high stem density,where it can reduce the negative impacts of tree mortality and deadwood accumulation.However,careful planning is required to mitigate potential short-term stability is sues,particularly in challenging environments(e.g.,windy conditions,steep slopes).Forest management strategies should therefore aim to balance growth,carbon storage,and tree stability,considering both long-term sustainability and local environmental conditions.The findings are particularly relevant for current climate change mitigation strategies,emphasizing that thinning should be carefully tailored to forest type and conditions to maximize benefits in carbon credit generation and sustainable forest management practices.

文摘This study used molecular dynamics simulations,B-factor analysis,and saturation mutagenesis screening to enhance the thermal stability of the trans-epoxysuccinate hydrolase(TESH)derived from Pseudomonas koreensis.Eleven mutants that influence this characteristic were selected,yielding four mutants with improved activity.Among them,mutants A142C and S178Q exhibited lower Michaelis constant(Km)values,and their a/Km ratios(kcat,catalytic constant)were 3.7 and 0.9 times higher than those of the wild type,respectively.The values of half-life at 50℃(T 52)of the two mutants were increased by 107%and 59%,respectively,compared to the wild type.Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations indicated that the two mutants showed stronger substrate interaction,lower binding energy,and reduced root mean square deviation compared to the wild type,along with decreased electrostatic potential energy and increased hydrophobicity near their mutation sites.The study of protein thermal stability engineering and associated mechanisms provides a valuable reference and holds practical significance for the industrial production of meso-tartaric acid.

文摘The(010)orientation ofβ-Ga_(2)O_(3)is a highly promising platform for next-generation lateral power electronics due to its superior theoretical transport properties.However,progress has been impeded by the unavailability of large-area substrates,limiting studies to small-scale samples.Leveraging the recent emergence of 2-inch wafers,we report the first demonstration of homoepitaxial growth on a 2-inch,Fe-doped semi-insulating(010)β-Ga_(2)O_(3)substrate by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD).A systematic,wafer-scale characterization reveals the successful growth of a highquality epitaxial film.High-resolution x-ray diffraction shows an excellent crystalline structure,with a rocking curve full-width ranging from 21.0 arcsec to 103.0 arcsec.Atomic force microscopy confirms an atomically smooth surface with a root-mean-square roughness below 1.53 nm,displaying a distinct step-flow growth mode across the wafer.Furthermore,mercury-probe capacitance-voltage mapping indicates a well-controlled carrier concentration of~2×10~(18)cm~(-3)with a RSD of 5.12%.This work provides the first comprehensive assessment of 2-inch(010)Ga_(2)O_(3)epitaxial wafers,validating a critical material platform for the development and future manufacturing of high-performance power devices.

文摘The banks in the middle and lower reaches of the Tarim River in China are weak in erosion resistance and prone to collapse.Vegetation,as a natural reinforcement material,can effectively improve slope stability and curb soil erosion.In March and July 2023,a field survey was conducted on the types and distribution characteristics of vegetation along both banks of a certain section in the lower reaches of the Tarim River.Taking COMSOL Multiphysics as the finite element numerical simulation platform,we investigated the variation law of bank slope stability in the middle and lower reaches of the Tarim River under different root morphologies,considering changes in transpiration time,rainfall,and water level under the action of hydro-mechanical reinforcement.The findings showed that vegetation transpiration has a significant effect on soil pore water pressure.Given the same transpiration rate,shorter root systems produced greater pore water pressure.For equal root lengths,the pore water pressures generated by roots in exponential and triangular morphologies were significantly greater than those generated by roots in uniformly distributed and parabolic morphologies.The water absorption capacity of the root system increased with transpiration rate.After 7 d of transpiration,the maximum safety factor of the bank slope reinforced by exponential roots was 1.568,which was a 9.88%improvement over that of the bare slope.After 24 h of rainfall,the effect of vegetation transpiration on soil pore water pressure weakened rapidly;the pore water pressure of the surface soil generated by transpiration from vegetation with different root morphologies was concentrated near–10.00 kPa.After rainfall,the displacement of the exponential root reinforced slope was minimized to 0.137 m.The effect of transpiration-induced changes in substrate suction on slope stability was negligible during the rainfall period.Compared with that of the bare slope,the displacements of bank slopes reinforced by root systems significantly increased.The maximum displacement occurred when the water level changed by 1.5 m/d;the displacement of the bare slope was 0.554 m,whereas the displacements of bank slopes reinforced by roots in different morphologies were 0.260–0.273 m.The impact of vegetation transpiration on the safety factor of riverbanks under sudden water level drops was relatively minor,but it can enhance the stability of riverbanks to a certain extent.Among these,riverbanks reinforced by roots in triangular and exponential morphologies exhibited superior stability compared with those reinforced by uniformly distributed or parabolic root systems.The findings offer a theoretical basis and practical guidance for designing vegetation slope protection in the middle and lower reaches of the Tarim River.

文摘MnO_(x)-CeO_(2)catalysts for the low-temperature selective catalytic reduction(SCR)of NO remain vulnerable to water and sulfur poisoning,limting their practical applications.Herein,we report a hydrophobic-modified MnO_(x)-CeO_(2)catalyst that achieves enhanced NO conversion rate and stability under harsh conditions.The catalyst was synthesized by decorating MnOx crystals with amorphous CeO_(2),followed by loading hydrophobic silica on the external surfaces.The hydrophobic silica allowed the adsorption of NH_(3)and NO and diffusion of H,suppressed the adsorption of H_(2)O,and prevented SO_(2)interaction with the Mn active sites,achieving selective molecular discrimination at the catalyst surface.At 120℃,under H_(2)O and SO_(2)exposure,the optimal hydrophobic catalyst maintains 82%NO conversion rate compared with 69%for the unmodified catalyst.The average adsorption energies of NH_(3),H_(2)O,and SO_(2)decreased by 0.05,0.43,and 0.52 eV,respectively.The NO reduction pathway follows the Eley-Rideal mechanism,NH_(3)^(*)+*→NH_(2)^(*)+H^(*)followed by NH_(2)^(*)+NO^(*)→N_(2)^(*)+H_(2)O^(*),with NH_(3)dehydrogenation being the rate determining step.Hydrophobic modification increased the activation energy for H atom transfer,leading to a minor decrease in the NO conversion rate at 120℃.This work demonstrates a viable strategy for developing robust NH_(3)-S CR catalysts capable of efficient operation in water-and sulfur-rich environments.
文摘AIM:To investigate age-related differences in the irislens angle(ILA)among patients with age-related cortical cataracts and elucidate the impact of age on lens stability.METHODS:A prospective observational study was conducted on patients with age-related cortical cataracts scheduled for phacoemulsification surgery.Preoperative ultrasound biomicroscopy(UBM)images were collected and analyzed.Initially,patients were stratified into two age groups:<60y and≥60y,with no significant intergroup differences in sex or eye laterality.For further analysis,participants were subdivided into three age strata:<60y,60-75y,and>75y.The ILA was measured in four quadrants(superior,inferior,nasal,and temporal).Intergroup differences in ILA were compared,and correlations between age and ILA parameters were analyzed using statistical methods.RESULTS:The sample data were categorized into three groups according to age,<60y(113 patients;55.8%female),60–75y(245 patients;61.0%female),and>75y(70 patients;50.2%female).The superior quadrant ILA increased progressively with age stratification(P=0.02),and the maximum ILA difference(ΔILA)was significantly higher in patients over 75y(P<0.01).Simple linear regression analysis demonstrated a positive correlation between age and ILA in the superior(Y=7.487+0.096X,R=0.191,P<0.001)and temporal(Y=10.254+0.052X,R=0.104,P=0.032)quadrants.Additionally,the mean ILA across all quadrants(ILAmean)andΔILA were positively correlated with age(ILAmean:Y=9.721+0.055X,R=0.138,P=0.004;ΔILA:Y=3.267+0.044X,R=0.006,P<0.05).CONCLUSION:In patients with age-related cortical cataracts,ILA increases with age,particularly in the superior and temporal quadrants,suggesting that advanced age is associated with greater lens deviation and decreased lens stability.UBM imaging can effectively evaluate the status of the zonule and lens stability,providing crucial evidence for personalized surgical planning based on patients’age.

文摘The outstanding performance of O3-type NaNi_(1/3)Fe_(1/3)Mn_(1/3)O_(2)(NFM111)at both high and low temperatures coupled with its impressive specific capacity makes it an excellent cathode material for sodium-ion batteries.However,its poor cycling,owing to highpressure phase transitions,is one of its disadvantages.In this study,Cu/Ti was introduced into NFM111 cathode material using a solidphase method.Through both theoretically and experimentally,this study found that Cu doping provides a higher redox potential in NFM111,improving its reversible capacity and charge compensation process.The introduction of Ti would enhance the cycling stability of the material,smooth its charge and discharge curves,and suppress its high-voltage phase transitions.Accordingly,the NaNi_(0.27)Fe_(0.28)Mn_(0.33)Cu_(0.05)Ti_(0.06)O_(2)sample used in the study exhibited a remarkable rate performance of 142.97 mAh·g^(-1)at 0.1 C(2.0-4.2 V)and an excellent capacity retention of 72.81%after 300 cycles at 1C(1C=150 mA·g^(-1)).
文摘The Routing Protocol for Low-power and Lossy Networks(RPL)is widely used in Internet of Things(IoT)systems,where devices usually have very limited resources.However,RPL still faces several problems,such as high energy usage,unstable links,and inefficient routing decisions,which reduce the overall network performance and lifetime.In this work,we introduce TABURPL,an improved routing method that applies Tabu Search(TS)to optimize the parent selection process.The method uses a combined cost function that considers Residual Energy,Transmission Energy,Distance to the Sink,Hop Count,Expected Transmission Count(ETX),and Link Stability Rate(LSR).Simulation results show that TABURPL improves link stability,lowers energy consumption,and increases the packet delivery ratio compared with standard RPL and other existing approaches.These results indicate that Tabu Search can handle the complex trade-offs in IoT routing and can provide a more reliable solution for extending the network lifetime.
