文摘The stress gradient of surrounding rock and reasonable prestress of support are the keys to ensuring the stability of roadways.The elastic-plastic analytical solution for surrounding rock was derived based on unified strength theory.A model for solving the stress gradient of the surrounding rock with the intermediate principal stress parameter b was established.The correctness and applicability of the solution for the stress gradient in the roadway surrounding rock was verified via multiple methods.Furthermore,the laws of stress,displacement,and the plastic zone of the surrounding rock with different b values and prestresses were revealed.As b increases,the stress gradient in the plastic zone increases,and the displacement and plastic zone radius decrease.As the prestress increases,the peak stress shifts toward the sidewalls,and the stress and stress gradient increments decrease.In addition,the displacement increment and plastic zone increment were proposed to characterize the support effect.The balance point of the plastic zone area appears before that of the displacement zone.The relationship between the stress gradient compensation coefficient and the prestress is obtained.This study provides a research method and idea for determining the reasonable prestress of support in roadways.
文摘The parameters of facial skin on human body were measured by Visia-CR,and the weight coefficients of each evaluation index were clarified by the analytic hierarchy process,thus the comprehensive score was calculated.The influence of four film-forming agents on the comprehensive score at different quality fractions was examined by single factor experiment to determine the level of each factor.In addition,the optimal proportion of the four film-forming agents was selected by combining multi-indicator comprehensive scoring method and orthogonal experiment.The results show that the best combination of the four film-forming agents in the 8 h wear test is A_(2)B_(2)C_(2)D_(1),and the quality fractions of each component are 2%of trimethylsiloxy silicate,1%of polydimethylsiloxane,2%of(acrylate(ester)/poly(dimethylsiloxane)copolymer,cyclopentasiloxane)and 0.5%of VP/hexadecene copolymer.

文摘Renewable energy sources,including wind,solar,and biofuels,are essential for promoting sustainable economic development and mitigating environmental challenges.As China’s overseas investments in renewable energy expand,effective risk assessment and management have become critical.This study develops a comprehensive risk evaluation framework for China’s overseas renewable energy investments using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process(FAHP).The framework incorporates political,economic,and project-specific risks,organized through three primary criteria,nine sub-criteria,and thirty tertiary indicators.By integrating expert judgments with fuzzy set theory,the FAHP methodology assigns accurate weights to risk factors and ensures consistency in evaluation.The findings identify political risks as the most significant,emphasizing their influence on investment strategies.These insights offer valuable guidance for policymakers and investors to enhance risk management strategies and ensure the sustainability of China’s renewable energy initiatives abroad.
文摘By using a certain hybrid-type convolution operator,we first introduce a new subclass of normalized analytic functions in the open unit disk.For members of this analytic function class,we then derive several properties and characteristics including(for example)the modified Hadamard products,Holder's inequalities and convolution properties as well as some closure properties under a general family of integral transforms.

文摘The analytic continuation serves as a crucial bridge between quantum Monte Carlo calculations in imaginary-time formalism,specifically the Green's functions,and physical measurements(the spectral functions)in real time.Various approaches have been developed to enhance the accuracy of analytic continuation,including the Padéapproximation,the maximum entropy method,and stochastic analytic continuation.In this study,we employ different deep learning techniques to investigate the analytic continuation for the quantum impurity model.A significant challenge in this context is that the sharp Abrikosov-Suhl resonance peak may be either underestimated or overestimated.We fit both the imaginary-time Green's function and the spectral function using Chebyshev polynomials in logarithmic coordinates.We utilize Full-Connected Networks(FCN),Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs),and Residual Networks(ResNet)to address this issue.Our findings indicate that introducing noise during the training phase significantly improves the accuracy of the learning process.The typical absolute error achieved is less than 10-4.These investigations pave the way for machine learning to optimize the analytic continuation problem in many-body systems,thereby reducing the need for prior expertise in physics.

文摘The gastrointestinal tract of felines is inhabited by an active and intricate population of microorganisms whose alteration creates disturbances in the immune response and can affect health and disease states.Studies using vari‑ous analytical methods have identified peculiar trends in various illnesses,with Firmicutes being the most prevalent phylum,followed by Bacteroidetes,Proteobacteria,and Actinobacteria.However,more Firmicutes and fewer Bac‑teroidetes have been observed in cats infected with Feline coronavirus.Alterations in the composition of these gut microbiota can be solved by microbiota modification through dietary fiber,probiotics,and fecal microbiota transplan‑tation.Therefore,it is critical to understand the composition of the gut microbiota,the changes in and roles of the gut environment,and the importance of these concepts for overall health while considering the exchange of microbes between humans and domestic animals.This review provides comprehensive information on feline gut microbiota composition,modulation,and analytic methods used for characterizing the gut microbiota.
