文摘39 soil samples surrounding a lead-zinc mining area in Guangxi were collected,and the contents of Pb,Hg,Cd,Cr,As,Cu,Zn,and Ni were determined to investigate the pollution characteristics and sources of heavy metals.ArcGIS inverse distance weight difference method was used to analyze the characteristics of pollution distribution,and single-factor pollution index,Nemerow comprehensive pollution index,ground accumulation index,and potential ecological risk index were selected to evaluate the characteristics of heavy metal pollution.Based on correlation analysis,the absolute principal component-multiple linear regression(APCS-MLR)and positive definite matrix factorization(PMF)models were used to analyze the sources of soil heavy metals.The results showed that the average concentrations of all eight heavy metals exceeded both national and Guangxi soil background values.Hg,Cd,and Zn exhibited high variation(greater than 0.5),indicating significant external disturbances,and their spatial distribution was closely related to mining activity locations.The single-factor pollution index evaluation indicated varying degrees of pollution risk for Cd,Zn,and As,with Cd and Zn being the most severe pollutants,as 69.23%and 30.77%of the samples fell into the moderate pollution or higher category.The geoaccumulation index analysis ranked the mean pollution levels of the eight elements as follows:Zn>Cd>Ni>Pb>Cu>Cr>Hg>As,with Cd and Zn showing the most severe contamination,and 51.28%of the samples exhibiting moderate or higher pollution levels.The Nemerow comprehensive pollution index evaluation showed that 74.35%of soil samples were classified as moderate to heavy pollution.The potential ecological risk index assessment indicated significant ecological risks posed by Cd and Zn,with 82.05%and 5.12%of the samples classified as causing strong to extreme ecological risks,respectively.The source apportionment analysis revealed minor differences between the two models.The APCS-MLR model identified three pollution sources and their contribution rates:anthropogenic mining sources(31.13%),parent material sources(40.38%),and unidentified sources(28.49%).The PMF model identified three pollution sources with contribution rates of anthropogenic mining sources(26.10%),parent material sources(46.96%),and a combined traffic and agricultural source(26.61%).Pb,Hg,Cd,and Zn mainly originated from mining activities;Cr,As,and Ni were primarily derived from the parent material,while Cu was predominantly attributed to traffic and agricultural sources.These findings provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of heavy metal pollution in mining areas.
文摘This paper studies the structural response of high-speed train wipers under the combined action of complex flow fields and scraping actions.The stress concentration areas are determined through simulation analysis,and the stress and aerodynamic load measurement points are reasonably arranged accordingly.The actual measurement is carried out in combination with the operating conditions of the existing lines.The stress variations and spectral characteristics of the train under different speed levels(80,160,180,200 km/h),tunnel entry and exit,and scraper action conditions were compared and analyzed.The stress amplification factors under tunnel intersection and scraper action were obtained,providing boundary conditions for the design of wipers for highspeed s.The research results show that the maximum stress of the wiper structure obtained through simulation calculation is concentrated at the connection of the wiper arm.Structural stress increases with the rise of speed grade.The stress increases by 1.11 times when the tunnel meets.When the scraper operates,the stress on the scraper arm increases by 4.1–7.6 times.Due to the broadband excitation effect of the aerodynamic load,the spectral energy of the structure is relatively high at the natural frequency,which excites the natural mode of the wiper.

文摘Clarifying the photosynthetic and population characteristics of conventional japonica rice at different yield levels is crucial for boosting yield and ensuring food security.Therefore,a two-year field trial with two conventional japonica varieties was conducted at four planting densities:16 cm×30 cm(D1),14 cm×30 cm(D2),12 cm×30 cm(D3),and 10 cm×30 cm(D4).This study aimed to investigate how photosynthetic and population characteristics influence grain yield under varying planting densities.The results indicated that higher yields were primarily driven by increased grain weight and seed-setting rate(with a 9.68%‒11.40%higher single panicle weight),supported by optimized dry matter translocation and source-sink relationships.Elevated planting density(D2‒D4)enhanced panicle number and total spikelet number(by 3.91%‒15.00%)but reduced the number of spikelets per panicle,1000-grain weight,and photosynthetic efficiency due to mutual shading.Despite these trade-offs,yield increased by 4.10%‒12.42%under higher densities.The use of planting density D4 in japonica rice cultivation contributed to maximize yield.These findings provide important theoretical insights and practical significance for increasing the yield of conventional japonica rice and ensuring food security.

文摘Taking half-tube part with curvature as an example,the Impact Hydroforming(IHF)characteristics were studied by combining the actual forming experiment and numerical simulation.The IHF experiment showed that wrinkles appeared at the bottom of the part during single-step forming,but no wrinkles were observed during double-step forming.The thinning rate and deviation of the wall thickness of the part in each area were less than 20%and 2.7 mm,correspondingly,and the drawing depth of the part reached 45.8 mm.The effect of double-step forming was better than that of single-step forming,which was related to the IHF forming law.Besides,the characteristics of the IHF process were studied by numerical simulation.The results indicated that when double-step forming was utilized,there was almost no velocity field in the opposite direction of deformation after the bottom of the part contacted the die,and the existence of stress state at the bottom would restrain and eliminate the wrinkles.The inertia effect evolved with the driving pressure.Specially,the inertia effect can improve the flow of metal and reduce the deviation of the wall thickness of the part under double-step forming.

文摘Bottom-up and top-down endogenous automobile clusters exhibit distinct evolutionary traits and driving mechanisms,yet their comparative analysis remains understudied.Therefore,using Taizhou automobile industry cluster(TAIC)and Wuhu automobile industry cluster(WAIC)as cases,using historical statistical data and field interview data from the 1980s to 2023,combined with qualitative research methods of thematic and diachronic analysis,and quantitative research methods of social network analysis,we compare both endogenous automobile clusters’evolutionary traits and driving mechanisms.The results confirm both clusters undergo multi-scale spatial reconfiguration,organizational complexification,and intelligent networking technological transformation,yet diverge fundamentally:TAIC evolves through market-driven progressive expansion,transitioning from single to dual-core structures via private enterprise networking,with innovation following market-integrated logic and institutional thickness built on demand-driven evolution.Conversely,WAIC follows planned expansion,maintaining state-led hierarchical single-core stability through policy-driven breakthrough innovation and supply-dominated institutional construction-though both ultimately require formal-informal system synergy.Their coevolution is driven by dynamic interactions of path dependence(weakening influence),learning-innovation(strengthening influence),and relationship selection(inverted U-shaped trajectory),with divergent development paths rooted in TAIC’s grassroots self-organization genes versus WAIC’s top-level design genes,amplified by core enterprises’strategic disparities.The research findings can not only provide decision-making support for China’s industrial upgrading,but also contribute China’s insights to global economic governance.
文摘BACKGROUND Appropriate care for individuals who attempt suicide and are admitted to the emergency department(ED)can prevent future suicidal behavior.It is vital to understand their sociodemographic characteristics and the effects of targeted psychological care.AIM To analyze sociodemographic characteristics of suicide attempters treated in the ED and evaluate the efficacy of psychological care.METHODS Data from 239 suicide attempters treated in the ED of the Central Hospital of Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture(Hubei Province,China)between January 2021 and February 2025 were divided into 2:Control(n=108)and psychological care(n=131).The demographic characteristics and effects of the psychological care were analyzed.RESULTS The mean(±SD)age of the 239 patients[114 male(47.7%),125 female(52.3%)]was 26.25±9.3 years,of whom 122(45.2%)were single,117(48.9%)were married,and 106(44.4%)had secondary education.Thirty-eight(15.9%)patients had suicidal intent,with a mean of 1.26±0.59 suicide attempts each.Twenty-two(9.21%)patients had a family history of suicide,while 8(3.34%)had a family history of suicide attempt(s).Before intervention,mean Suicidal Intent Scale scores in the psychological nursing and control groups were 21.57±5.28 and 19.86±5.92,respectively(P>0.05).After 1 month of nursing intervention,the respective scores were 10.09±1.11 and 16.48±0.87(P<0.001);and the re-suicide rates were 11.45%(15/131)and 24.07%(26/108)(P<0.001).CONCLUSION Psychological care significantly reduces suicide risk;EDs should provide comprehensive mental health care.

文摘Accurate and early evaluation of dental physiological characteristics is essential for effective disease detection and management.Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography(PS-OCT)is a noninvasive high-resolution imaging technique that can obtain tooth structure and physiological features through intensity,retardation and degree of polarization uniformity(DOPU)images.In this study,we use the information provided by the PS-OCT system,especially the retardation information,to assess the physiological characteristics of teeth.In addition,we introduce a novel parameter—the rate of change of the retardation value(R)—to evaluate the magnitude of birefringence of enamel,which serves as an indicator of enamel health and mineralization.The results demonstrate that PS-OCT not only provides structural detail comparable to microcomputed tomography(microCT),but also yields additional physiological characteristics insights through polarization-based contrast.These findings highlight the strong potential of PS-OCT for early diagnosis,functional evaluation and personalized monitoring in dental care.

文摘The cold chain environment is an important route for the long⁃distance transmission of pathogenic micro⁃organisms.In this study,we explored the mechanisms of secondary propagation through surface contact on cold surfaces.A quantitative statistical experimental method was adopted to study the surface⁃contact transmission of micro⁃organisms,wherein the transfer rate of surface contact was the dependent variable and Escherichia coli was used as the indicator bacterium.The effects of contact pressure(0.44,0.86,1.55,2.25,and 2.94 N/cm^(2)),contact time(0,15,30,45,and 60 s),contact angle(15°and 25°),and surface materials(rubber and cotton gloves)were measured at two storage temperatures:cold storage(5℃)and freezing(-18℃).The results showed that as temperature decreases,the transfer of micro⁃organisms through surface contact becomes less probable.The contact time did not significantly influence the transfer rate of micro⁃organisms when items were handled at cold⁃storage temperatures.Based on these results,we recommend placing items as flat as possible to minimize the tilt angle when handling them at cold⁃storage temperatures.Additionally,if the tilt angle cannot be avoided,rubber gloves should be used when handling items stored at large tilt angles,whereas cotton gloves may be used for items placed at smaller angles.

文摘Sichuan sausages with moisture contents of 40%,45%,50%,and 60% were stored at-18℃for durations of 0,2,4,6,and 8 weeks to evaluate the effect of moisture content on the quality attributes of Sichuan sausages during frozen storage.Product indicators including pH,colour,thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS),total volatile basic nitrogen(TVB-N),texture,electronic nose(E-nose)response,and water-holding capacity(thawing and cooking losses)were determined.The results indicated that as storage time increased,water retention in Sichuan sausages with different moisture contents decreased,while the degree of protein and lipid oxidation increased.This led to an increase in pH value,a colour shift from red-bright to grey-brown,and a deterioration in palatability.Among the samples,sausages with 50% moisture content exhibited the lowest thawing and cooking losses,indicating superior water-holding capacity.After 8 weeks of storage,TBARS and TVB-N values for the 50% moisture group were 19.5%and 2.5%lower,respectively,than those of the 40%and 45%moisture groups,indicating a reduced degree of oxidation.Furthermore,Sichuan sausage with 50%moisture content demonstrated an appropriate pH and colour difference,along with excellent texture and flavour,as evidenced by its higher toughness and satisfactory hardness.In conclusion,Sichuan sausage with 50% moisture content demonstrated the highest overall quality under frozen storage conditions.

文摘The multi-pass intermittent local loading process,which features a more flexible processing path,can further enhance the second material distribution during local loading,improve the formability of components,and reduce forming loads.However,the absence of compatible forming equipment makes it difficult to control the constraint in the unloaded zones during the forming process.This difficulty complicates coordination and control of deformation,particularly for asymmetric rib-web components.Additionally,the current implementation involves multi-fire heating,a long process flow,and high energy consumption,which limits the popularization and application of the local loading process.In this study,a new multi-pass local loading hydraulic forming apparatus that can quickly and reliably switch between heavy-load deformation and low-load constraint for different local loading sub-dies was developed.A 10-tonne laboratory prototype was developed,and the forming characteristics during the forming process as well as the response characteristics of the hydraulic system during the multi-pass intermittent local loading of rib-web component were investigated using numerical simulations and physical experiments.Results indicated that,compared to a whole loading process with the same initial geometry of billet,the total forming load(i.e.,the sum of loaded and restrained loads)is reduced by more than 40%with the local loading process,and by nearly 50%with multi-pass local loading.The multi-pass local loading process allows for more effective control of material flow compared to single-pass local loading,leading to improved cavity filling and reduced flow line disturbance.For a large-scale,complex titanium alloy bulkhead,the cavity filling problem was addressed by optimizing the multi-pass local loading path with an unequal thickness billet.The dynamic performance of the multi-pass local loading hydraulic system was found to be robust,with stable pressure transitions during motion and load switching for the sub-die(s).The dynamic characteristic of the hydraulic cylinder when switching from non-moving/unloaded state to a moving/loading state are consistent whether a load is present or not.However,the dynamic characteristics differ when switching from a moving/loading state to non-moving/unloaded state,showing opposite behavior.The developed hydraulic drive mechanism provides a way for implementation of multi-pass local loading without auxiliary operation and extra heating.The results of the study provide a foundation for the industrial production of large-scale,complex components with reduced force requirement and low-energy consumption.

文摘Bamboo is a natural composite that has inspired the design of biomimetic composites due to its unique multi-scale struc-ture and outstanding mechanical properties.This paper first presents the structural features of bamboo,detailing the hydro-phobic wax and silica layer of the surface,the functionally graded vascular bundles of the wall for optimized toughness,and the hollow,multi-node architecture of the stem for overall stability and bending resistance.Subsequently,this study surveys recent sustainability and designability advances in bamboo-inspired composites.Inspiration from the bamboo sur-face has spurred the creation of materials with enhanced functionalities,such as transparent composites and high-stiffness structural materials.Imitation of the wall structure has led to the development of high-strength and tough materials,with the discussion covering examples such as hydrogels,polymer composites,and metal-matrix composites.Inspiration from the stem structure has yielded lightweight composites with excellent energy absorption and stability,exemplified by advanced linear materials like resilient yarns and tendon sutures,as well as functional structures like flexible sensors.These biomimetic designs show significant potential across numerous fields,including construction,healthcare,urban rail transit,wearable electronics,and mechanical engineering.Finally,this paper discusses the current limitations and challenges to understanding bamboo's structural characteristics towards the development of bamboo-inspired composites.Future research directions are proposed,including understanding bamboo's structure,designing novel biomimetic com-posites,and optimizing their structure to develop bamboo-inspired functional materials.

文摘The smart meter communication system has substantial application value for the construction and upgrading of the entire power system.The deployment of the transmitter(Tx)of the smart meter system in the residential scenarios is vexed by the need for more theoretical support.This paper mainly studies the communication channel between the Tx at semibasement and receiver(Rx)at outdoor.The design of an effective communication system relies on an accurate understanding of channel characteristics.Channel measurements and ray-tracing channel modeling are conducted to obtain channel data.The influence of different positions at same semi-basement is studied.Typical channel characteristics are analyzed,such as power delay profile(PDP),power angular profile(PAP),root-mean-square(RMS)delay spread(DS),channel capacity,received power,and path loss.The influence of different semi-basement placements and different floor heights is also compared.Besides,the channel measurements and simulation data fit well,which can illustrate the validity and reliability of the acquired channel data.This paper can provide theoretical support for the design and optimization of smart meter communication systems in semi-basement scenarios.

文摘As a water layer with significantly reduced dissolved oxygen(DO)in the ocean,the oxygen minimum zone(OMZ)plays a crucial role in regulating marine organism distribution,global material cycles,and climate change.Based on a systematic review of recent studies on OMZ,this paper summarizes the DO thresholds,structural characteristics,distribution patterns,formation and maintenance mechanisms,and driving factors of OMZ in the ocean in the context of global change.The DO thresholds of OMZ typically range from 20 to 100μmol L^(-1).Specifically,the threshold is mostly 20μmol L^(-1) in regions with intense OMZ,such as the Eastern Pacific and Northern Indian Oceans,while it is mostly 100μmol L^(-1) in regions with mild OMZ,including the Western Pacific and Atlantic.In terms of structure,the OMZ is mainly composed of three parts:the upper oxycline,the lower oxycline,and the OMZ core.Significant differences exist in the horizontal and vertical distributions of OMZ across different regions.OMZ is mainly concentrated in tropical and subtropical regions,with the widest distribution in the eastern tropical North Pacific.The upper boundary of OMZ is shallower(50-150 m)in significantly affected regions,whereas it is below 200 m in less affected regions.The formation of OMZ is governed by the continuous consumption of DO in the ocean interior,and the water exchange restriction caused by seawater stratification,whereas the maintenance of the hypoxic state of OMZ relies on two positive feedbacks:increased microbial oxygen consumption due to reduced animal feeding,and increased oxygen consumption by anaerobic metabolic products.In the context of global change,rising temperature is the main driver of OMZ expansion,reducing O_(2) solubility,increasing respiration and decomposition rates,and enhancing seawater stratification.Additionally,the structure and evolution of OMZ is also profoundly affected by ocean circulation such as thermohaline circulation,wind-driven circulation,and upwelling,as well as changes in wind stress,mesoscale eddies and freshwater flux.Future research should focus on establishing OMZ gradient thresholds and classification criteria based on the law of deoxygenation,improving the systematic understanding of the temporal and spatial variations of OMZ,and continuously strengthening studies on OMZ in the Western Pacific.

文摘A CFD-based numerical model was employed to quantitatively analyze the flow characteristics of double-side-blown gas−liquid flow.Key parameters were extracted,and Spearman correlation analysis was used to quantify the relationships among bubble behavior,circulating flow,and liquid oscillations.The results show that periodic bubble behavior under steady injection drives the circulating flow of the liquid on both sides.The asynchronism of bubble behavior on both sides results in the alternation of circulating intensity,which significantly enhances gas−liquid mixing efficiency at certain liquid levels of 200 and 220 mm.Flow patterns of the double-side-blown process are classified into weak circulation,strong−weak alternating circulation,and strong circulation modes based on the influence of circulating flows on the penetration depth.The penetration depth in the strong−weak alternating circulation mode is generally greater than that in the single-side-blown process.The imbalance of circulating intensities on both sides primarily leads to the stable fluctuation in the injecting direction,which reveals the appearance of periodic oscillations in the molten bath.The effect of control parameters such as liquid level and gas flow rate on the liquid oscillations were discussed.
