文摘The migration mechanisms of ore-forming fluids have long been a focus in the field of ore deposit studies.Calcite is ubiquitously present in various types of rocks in the lithosphere,and the underlying mechanisms of its influence on fluid migration are of crucial importance.While previous studies have revealed that salinity changes can modulate fluid migration,the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.We employ molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate how salinity variations in ore-forming fluids modulate the adsorption onto calcite nanopore walls,thereby revealing the microscopic mechanisms governing ore fluid transport through calcite nano-fractures.The results show that the adsorption energy Eint of the solution on the calcite surface increased from -14,948.84±182.48 kcal/mol to -12,144.08±118.2 kcal/mol as salinity increased,which is conducive to the long-range transport of the fluid in the calcite nanopore.

文摘The equilibrium dynamics and nonlinear rheology of unentangled polymer blends remain inadequately understood,especially regarding the influence of short-chain matrix length N_(S) on the structure and rheological behavior of dispersed long chains.Using molecular dynamics simulations based on the Kremer-Grest model,we systematically explore the N_(S)-dependence of static conformations,equilibrium dynamics,and nonlinear shear responses in unentangled long-chain/short-chain polymer blends.Our results demonstrate a decoupling between the static and dynamic sensitivity to N_(S):while the static chain size,R_g,follows Flory theory with slight swelling at small N_(S) due to incomplete excluded volume screening,the diffusion coefficient,D,and the relaxation time,τ_(0),exhibit a strong,non-monotonic N_(S)-dependence,transitioning from monomeric friction dominance at small N_(S) to collective segmental rearrangement at large N_(S).Additionally,we observe partial decoupling between the viscous and normal stress responses:while the zero-shear viscosity,η,is strongly N_(S)-dependent,the first and second normal stress coefficients,Ψ_(1) and Ψ_(2),collapse onto universal curves when scaled by the dimensionless shear rate,γτ_(0),suggesting a common mechanism of orientation and stretching.Under shear,long chains compress in the vorticity direction λ_(z)~Wi^(-0.2),which reduces collision frequency and contributes to shear thinning,while the scaling of weaker orientation resistance m_(G)~Wi^(0.35)reflects hydrodynamic screening by the short-chain matrix.These findings highlight the limitations of single-chain models and emphasize the necessity of considering N_(S)-dependent matrix dynamics and flow-induced structural changes in understanding the rheology of unentangled polymer blends.

文摘Large-scale access of distributed photovoltaic(PV)in distribution networks(DNs),if not properly evaluated,brings several operational problems.Uncertainties arising from both PV outputs and load demand significantly impact evaluation results.To address this issue,this paper proposes a possibilistic approach to evaluate PV hosting capacity(PVHC).First,possibility distribution is used to model load demand in order to reflect uncertainties associated with human factor,whereas the interval model is applied to deal with uncertainties of PV outputs.Second,a voltage deterioration index is proposed considering overvoltage risk of entire system on time scale.After that,possibilistic PVHC evaluation method based on this index is proposed.A 6-bus system is used to illustrate advantages of the proposed method,followed by a discussion of role of PVHC possibility distribution in actual decision-making of utilities.Moreover,sensitivity of simulation parameters is analyzed to reduce computational burden.Finally,the proposed method is tested on the IEEE 123-bus DN to validate adaptability to a larger system and to analyze impact of PVHC results against different acceptable values set by utilities.

文摘Background:Intrinsic capacity reflects the overall health status of older adults and decline in intrinsic abilities can lead to adverse health outcomes.However,empirical studies examining the association between digital health literacy,health-promoting lifestyles and intrinsic capacity are scarce.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.Using convenience sampling method,371 older adults were recruited from communities.Multidimensional intrinsic capacity,digital health literacy,health promoting lifestyle and sociodemographic information were measured.Results:The intrinsic capacity of older adults scored 3.75±1.10.The prevalences of declined cognitive capacity,psychological capacity,sensory capacity,vitality,and locomotor capacity were 13.7%,24.3%,19.1%,14.8%,53.1%,respectively.The multiple regression analysis revealed that age(β=−0.253),only living with children and/or grandchildren(β=0.249),current working status(β=−0.132),number of chronic diseases(β=−0.149),frequency of Internet usage(β=0.193),the domain of ability to acquire and evaluate digital health information(β=0.197)in digital health literacy,and the domain of nutrition(β=0.171)in health-promoting lifestyle were the significant factors influencing intrinsic capacity,explaining 27.1%of the variance.Conclusion:Digital health literacy and health-promoting lifestyle have a significant impact on intrinsic capacity.Enhancing digital health literacy and advocating a health-promoting lifestyle are critical to promoting intrinsic capacity for community-dwelling older adults.
文摘Research on high-speed railways is a relatively new yet highly significant field in Vietnam.Among its key components,train control signaling plays a critical role,as it directly affects various interconnected systems,including infrastructure,traction power supply,operational planning,and overall railway safety.This article focuses on evaluating the capacity of the line based on the types of signals suitable for high-speed railways that have been effectively implemented in several European countries and successfully adapted in China.The research and simulation are conducted using MATLAB software,a reliable and widely adopted tool in the scientific community.The findings demonstrate that under normal conditions,the European Railway Traffic Management System/European Train Control System(ERTMS/ETCS)Level 2 signaling can support up to 23.7485 trains/hour/direction.Meanwhile,ERTMS/ETCS Level 3 with full moving block can accommodate up to 30.8735 trains/hour/direction,and ERTMS/ETCS Level 3 with fixed virtual blocks up to 29.4694 trains/hour/direction.In emergency scenarios,ERTMS/ETCS Level 3 with full moving block reduces headway by 33.27%compared to CTCS Level 3,while ERTMS/ETCS Level 3 with fixed virtual blocks achieves a 28.78%reduction.Overall,the ERTMS/ETCS Level 3 emerges as a state-of-the-art signaling technology offering high capacity and operational efficiency,and is recommended as a forward-looking solution for future implementation in Vietnam.

文摘Background Selective breeding for disease resistance is an effective strategy to control duck hepatitis A virus type 3(DHAV-3)in waterfowl.However,the mechanism underlying resistance remains poorly understood,particularly those associated with antioxidant defense,intestinal development and host-microbiota interactions.Method A total of 1001-day-old Pekin ducklings were used in this study with 50 DHAV-3 susceptible and resistant ducks,respectively.Samples were collected at 7 days post-hatching(D7),D21 and D42,10 birds per group.We compared DHAV-3 resistant and susceptible ducks during early development with respect to immune organ indices,antioxidant capacity,intestinal morphology,barrier-related gene expression and cecal microbiota.Result Resistant ducks exhibited higher spleen indices and stronger antioxidant capacity,characterized by increased superoxide dismutase,reduced glutathione,and total antioxidant capacity,along with lower malondialdehyde levels at D7 and D21.In contrast,susceptible ducks showed compensatory thymus hypertrophy and delayed development of antioxidant defense and intestinal maturation.Ileal morphology revealed greater villus height and width with more regular arrangement in resistant ducks at D7,whereas these differences diminished at D21 and D42.Gene expression analysis demonstrated higher early expression of the tight junction proteins CLDN1 and CLDN3 in resistant ducks,while susceptible ducks displayed elevated MUC2 and OCLN,suggesting stress induced compensatory responses.Cecal microbiota analysis revealed distinct colonization patterns in early development.Resistant ducks were enriched with Firmicutes and beneficial genera such as Enterococcus and Lactobacillus,whereas susceptible ducks harbored higher abundances of Bacteroidota and potentially opportunistic taxa.Microbial diversity increased with age in both groups,but resistant ducks displayed more orderly succession and enrichment of SCFA producing genera,including Subdoligranulum and Phascolarctobacterium,which positively correlated with plasma antioxidant indices.Conclusion DHAV-3 resistant ducks exhibit early advantages in antioxidant defense,intestinal barrier development and colonization by beneficial microbiota,which collectively contribute to enhanced disease resistance.These findings highlight the synergistic roles of host physiology and gut microbiota in shaping resistance.In the future,integrating genomic selection with microbiota modulation and antioxidant interventions may accelerate the breeding of highly resistant duck lines and provide scientific evidence and practical strategies for controlling duck viral hepatitis.

文摘The study presents an analysis of the spatiotemporal evolution of vegetation cover in the Izarene forest,using LANDSAT satellite images collected for the years 1984,2003,and 2022.The methodological approach is based on the use of ArcGIS 10.8 software for processing multispectral images,as well as the calculation of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index(NDVI),which enables the observation of variations in vegetation cover over time.The findings show that biodiversity is pretty abundant,but they also show that some places with low vegetation density are under a lot of stress.Due in large part to overuse of natural resources,uncontrolled human activity,and environmental factors,these regions seem to be more vulnerable to degradation.However,a decrease in deforestation over the past 20 years is revealed by comparing the two periods(1984–2003 and 2003–2022).The participation of governmental agencies,especially the Department of Water and Forests,through concrete projects like reforestation,forest fire prevention,and awareness-raising campaigns among local communities,is responsible for this progress.In several areas,these measures have stabilized or even improved the state of the vegetation.The analysis emphasizes how crucial sustainable,integrated,and participatory management is to protecting the Izarene forest,which is a significant resource for maintaining the region’s ecological balance.
文摘In this paper,we propose a novel probabilistic method for predicting the undrained bearing capacity of spatially variable soils.Our approach combines a Gaussian process regression(GPR)-based surrogate model with random cell-based smoothed finite analysis.The Gaussian process emulator(GPE)serves as a statistical tool for making predictions from a data set.First,we validate the accuracy and efficiency of kinematic limit analysis using the cell-based smoothed finite element method(CS-FEM)against the standard finite element method(FEM)and edge-based smoothed FEM(ES-FEM).The numerical results demonstrate that the CS-FEM framework surpasses traditional numerical approaches,establishing its reliability in computing collapse loads.Subsequently,we conduct several hundred simulations to develop a surrogate model for predicting the undrained bearing capacity of shallow foundations.By utilizing various kernel functions,we enhance the accuracy of the GPE in these predictions.This method offers a practical and efficient solution,effectively addressing multiple uncertainties.Numerical results indicate that the GPE significantly boosts computational efficiency,achieving satisfactory outcomes within minutes compared to the days required for conventional simulations.Notably,the mean absolute percentage error(MAPE)decreases from 2.38%to 1.82%for rough foundations when employing Matérn and rational quadratic kernel functions,respectively.Additionally,combining different kernel functions further enhances the accuracy of collapse load predictions.

文摘In response to the increasing demand for hadron therapy facilities,significant efforts have been directed toward enhancing the performance of high-gradient and high-transmission injectors for light ion beams.For carbon ion irradiations,which offer greater radiobiological efficiency in tumor treatment,recent research has focused on developing high-production sources of fully stripped C^(6+)ions and highly compact,high-frequency RFQ cavities.This study explores the design possibilities of a carbon ion acceleration section using 750 MHz Interdigital H-mode Drift Tube Linacs(IH-DTLs)as a high-efficiency solution for accelerating ions in the 5-10 MeV per nucleon energy range.A particle-tracking routine based on the TRAVEL code was developed to design the acceleration line through a tailored KONUS-type configuration.Three design solutions were proposed and compared,exploring different alternatives regarding the use of a MEBT to match the output beam phase space of the RFQ to the optics of the line,as well as varying considerations for magnetic systems to focus the beam.Additionally,the compatibility of the proposed solutions with the existing design of the carbon ion bent-linac for hadron therapy was assessed.

文摘Like-charge pairing is a physical manifestation of the unique solvation properties of certain ion pairs in water.Water's high dielectric constant and related charge screening capability significantly influence the interaction between like-charged ions,with the possibility to transform it-in exceptional cases when noncovalent interactions are involved-from repulsion to attraction.Guanidinium cations(Gdm^(+))represent a quintessential example of such like-charge pairing due to their specific geometry and electronic structure.In this work,we present experimental validation and quantification of Gdm^(+)-Gdm contact ion pairing in water utilizing nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)spectroscopy complemented by molecular dynamics(MD)simulations and density functional theory(DFT)calculations.The observed Gdm^(+)-Gdm^(+)interaction is attractive albeit weak-about 0.5 kJ·mol^(-1)-which aligns with theoretical estimation from MD simulations.We contrast the behavior of Gdm^(+) with that of NH_(4)^(+) cations,which exhibit no contact ion pairing in water.DFT calculations predict that the NMR chemical shift of Gdm^(+) dimers is different than that of monomers,in agreement with NMR titration curves that display a nonlinear Langmuir-like behavior.Additionally,we conducted cryo-electron microscopy-to our knowledge,for the first time-on concentrated oligoarginines R9,which,unlike nona-lysines K9,exhibit aggregation in water.These results point to like charge pairing of the guanidinium side chain groups,as corroborated also by MD simulations and free energy calculations.

文摘To achieve the goals of sustainable development of the energy system and the construction of a lowcarbon society,this study proposes a multi-energy storage collaborative optimization strategy for industrial park that integrates the laddered carbon trading mechanism with demand response.Firstly,a dual dimensional DR model is constructed based on the characteristics of load elasticity.The alternativeDRenables flexible substitution of energy loads through complementary conversion of electricity/heat/cold multi-energy sources,while the price DR relies on timeof-use electricity price signals to guide load spatiotemporal migration;Secondly,the LCT mechanism is introduced to achieve optimal carbon emission costs through a tiered carbon quota allocation mechanism.On this basis,an optimization decision model is established with the core objective of maximizing the annual net profit of the park.The objective function takes into account energy sales revenue,generator unit costs,and investment and operation costs of multiple types of energy storage facilities.Themodel constraint system covers three key dimensions:dynamic operation constraints of power generation units,including unit output limits,ramping capability,and minimum start-stop time;the physical boundary of an electric/hot/cold multi-energy storage system involves energy storage capacity and charge/discharge efficiency;The multi-energy network coupling balance equation ensures that the energy conversion and transmission process satisfies the law of conservation of energy.Using CPLEX mathematical programming solver for simulation verification,construct an energy storage capacity configuration decision process that includes LCT-DR synergistic effect.The research results show that compared with the traditional single energy storage configuration mode,this strategy effectively enhances the economic feasibility and engineering practicality of industrial park operation by coordinating demand side resource scheduling and finely controlling carbon costs,while maintaining stable system operation.Its methodological framework provides a technical path that combines theoretical rigor and practical operability for the low-carbon transformation of regional integrated energy systems.

文摘Atmospheric oxidation capacity(AOC)refers to the oxidation capacity of atmospheric chemical processes for major pollutants.A comprehensive observation campaign was conducted on a typical PM_(2.5)pollution event in Urumqi,Northwest China,from January 15 to February 15,2024.Four typical cases representing PM_(2.5)levels from non-polluted to heavily polluted periods were selected to estimate AOC,OH reactivity,their relationship with secondary components,and the HO_(x)budget in PM_(2.5)using the Framework for 0-D Atmospheric Modeling model.Aromatics and alkanes contributed 54%-79%and 18%-46%of secondary organic aerosols(SOA)formation,respectively.The sulfur oxidation ratio(SOR)and nitrogen oxidation ratio(NOR)increased with rising PM_(2.5)levels.As AOC increased,SOR showed the same trend,while NOR and SOA decreased slightly,and ammonia oxidation ratio values remained almost unchanged.OH radicals were the primary oxidants during the daytime,whereas NO_(3)played a dominant role at nighttime.CO(24%-51%),NO2(27%-34%),and alkenes(7%-12%)were the dominant contributors to OH reactivity.The HO_(2)+NO reaction pathway contributes 67%-84%to the production of OH,while Others(including carbonyl compounds photolysis,the permutation reactions of RO2,etc.),RO_(2)+NO and OH+CO reaction pathways were the main pathways for HO2 production.A comprehensive understanding of the interactions among AOC,SOA,and radical cycling is crucial for formulating effective air quality management strategies aimed at mitigating secondary pollution under diverse atmospheric conditions.

文摘Objective:To explore the application effect of combined exercise intervention based on the hospital-community-family model on intrinsic capacity in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus complicated by chronic kidney disease.Methods:Using convenience sampling,100 elderly patients with diabetes mellitus complicated by chronic kidney disease who received treatment in the endocrinology department of a tertiary A-level hospital from May 2024 to May 2025 were selected as the study subjects.They were randomly divided into an experimental group(50 cases)and a control group(50 cases)using a random number table method.The control group received routine health education and telephone follow-up,while the experimental group,in addition to the control group’s interventions,underwent combined exercise intervention based on the hospital-community-family model.Remote medical guidance was utilized to monitor and study the application effect of exercise intervention on intrinsic capacity in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus complicated by chronic kidney disease.Fasting blood glucose,2-hour postprandial blood glucose,glomerular filtration rate,6-minute walk distance,and scores in five dimensions of intrinsic capacity(exercise,cognition,psychology,vitality,and sensation)were measured before the intervention,at 4 weeks of intervention,and at 12 weeks of intervention for both groups.Results:Before the exercise intervention,there were no statistically significant differences(p>0.05)between the two groups in terms of fasting blood glucose,2-hour postprandial blood glucose,glomerular filtration rate,6-minute walk distance,and scores across five dimensions of intrinsic capacity:mobility,cognition,psychology,vitality,and sensation.After 12 weeks of intervention,the experimental group demonstrated significantly higher scores than the control group in glomerular filtration rate,6-minute walk distance,and the dimensions of mobility,cognition,and vitality within intrinsic capacity,with all differences being statistically significant(p<0.05).Conversely,the experimental group showed significantly lower scores than the control group in fasting blood glucose,2-hour postprandial blood glucose,and the psychological dimension of intrinsic capacity,with these differences also being statistically significant(p<0.05).Conclusion:Continuous nursing care utilizing telemedicine based on a hospital-community-family model combined with exercise intervention can effectively enhance exercise tolerance and intrinsic capacity in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus complicated by chronic kidney disease,thereby improving their quality of life.The effectiveness of the intervention is positively correlated with the duration of the intervention.

文摘Root-inspired anchorage systems in the field of bio-inspired geotechnics are renowned for enhancing the pullout capacity of traditional geotechnical anchorage systems by simulating the morphology and architecture of plant root systems.However,limited studies have explored their practical applications,particularly in improving slope stability.To fill this gap,this study investigates the reinforcement effect of root-inspired anchors on slope stabilization using transparent soil modeling and 3D-printed anchors,and examines the impact of anchor branching patterns(i.e.branching numbers,branching angle,and branching nodes)on slope bearing capacity,shear band evolution,and temporal and spatial variation of slope deformation.The results show that peak slope bearing capacity increases with branching numbers and branching angles,correlating with the envelope area of the curved shear band.Upper anchors result in step-like deflections in the shear band near the trailing edge,while lower anchors convert the upward concave shear band into an upward convex one,thus increasing the slope bearing capacity.Slope deformation is minimized with intermediate branching parameters,such as a branching number of 4 and a branching angle of 45°.The anchor reinforcement mechanisms,i.e.anchor rod shear resistance,interface friction,anchor pullout capacity,and plate tightening effects,are comprehensively discussed,and the installation effects resulting from compromise slope modeling are identified as the contributors.These findings shed light on the failure process of root-inspired anchors reinforced slopes and provide a preliminary reference for potential applications,especially for the tradeoff between anchor branching,slope deformation,and slope stability.
