文摘The characterization of track irregularities is crucial in railway dynamics,as track irregularities are the primary source of internal excitation in railway systems.In this paper,three mathematical models are proposed to characterize the track irregularities under different circumstances.The first model is a novel explicit track spectrum function,which performs better in reflecting the inherent periodic components of track irregularities than the existing track spectra.On this foundation,the second model,a parameterized track spectrum random model,is proposed to represent the vast measured track irregularities from the probabilistic perspective.Finally,the third model,an imprecise track spectrum interval model based on a neighborhood uniform sampling Bootstrap method,is presented to identify the confidential interval of the track spectra when the track irregularity data are limited.Three examples are illustrated to demonstrate the feasibility of the three track irregularity models in characterizing the track irregularities in different conditions.This research can help capture the railway deformation status and optimize track maintenance strategies.

文摘Vacancy defects,as fundamental disruptions in metallic lattices,play an important role in shaping the mechanical and electronic properties of aluminum crystals.However,the influence of vacancy position under coupled thermomechanical fields remains insufficiently understood.In this study,transmission and scanning electron microscopy were employed to observe dislocation structures and grain boundary heterogeneities in processed aluminum alloys,suggesting stress concentrations and microstructural inhomogeneities associated with vacancy accumulation.To complement these observations,first-principles calculations and molecular dynamics simulations were conducted for seven single-vacancy configurations in face-centered cubic aluminum.The stress response,total energy,density of states(DOS),and differential charge density were examined under varying compressive strain(ε=0–0.1)and temperature(0–600 K).The results indicate that face-centered vacancies tend to reduce mechanical strength and perturb electronic states near the Fermi level,whereas corner and edge vacancies appear to have weaker effects.Elevated temperatures may partially restore electronic uniformity through thermal excitation.Overall,these findings suggest that vacancy position exerts a critical but position-dependent influence on coupled structure-property relationships,offering theoretical insights and preliminary experimental support for defect-engineered aluminum alloy design.

文摘Among various advanced oxidation processes(AOPs),heterogeneous catalytic ozonation has garnered extensive attention in wastewater treatment owing to its broad pH range applicability and the elimination of the need for additional energy input.Enhancing catalyst activity by introducing oxygen vacancies has been used extensively in heterogeneous catalytic ozonation.This paper reviews prevalent methods for the construction and characterization of oxygen vacancies.Based on a thorough examination of existing research,the role of oxygen vacancies is categorized according to their primary mechanisms of action in heterogeneous catalytic ozonation.For example,modulation of the catalyst electronic structure to enhance electron transfer;participation in the reaction as an active site to generate radicals and non-radicals;and exposure of more metal sites to enhance the reaction.Lastly,the paper delineates the limitations and future research directions concerning the role of oxygen vacancies in catalytic ozonation.This review addresses the gap in existing literature concerning the role of oxygen vacancies in catalytic ozone systems,establishes a comprehensive theoretical framework to aid in the design of efficient ozone catalysts,and delves into the functionality of oxygen vacancies in heterogeneous catalytic ozone reactions.

文摘Aqueous zinc metal batteries(AZMBs)face significant challenges in achieving reversibility and cycling stability,primarily due to hydrogen evolution reactions(HER)and zinc dendrite growth.In this study,by employing carefully designed cells that approximate the structural characteristics of practical batteries,we revisit this widely held view through in-operando X-ray radiography to examine zinc dendrite formation and HER under nearpractical operating conditions.While conventional understanding emphasizes the severity of these processes,our findings suggest that zinc dendrites and HER are noticeably less pronounced in dense,real-operation configurations compared to modified cells,possibly due to a more uniform electric field and the suppression of triple-phase boundaries.This study indicates that other components,such as degradation at the cathode current collector interface and configuration mismatches within the full cell,may also represent important barriers to the practical application of AZMBs,particularly during the early stages of electrodeposition.

文摘Osmanthus fragrans is most famous for its strong aroma,and different varieties have different degrees of fragrance and color.Fragrance and color are important factors affecting the ornamental quality of O.fragrans.Terpenoids are important secondary metabolites in plants,with β-carotene(C40)being the major pigment substance and linalool(C10)being the key aromatic component in O.fragrans.The geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase genes(GGPPSs)play important roles in secondary metabolism in plants.However,the functions of the GGPPS family in floral color and fragrance formation has rarely been reported in O.fragrans.In this study,24 Of GGPPS genes were identified and classified into two subfamilies.The Of GGPPSs showed tissue-specific expression and Of GGPPS13 had highest expression in flowers.The Of GGPPS13 protein was localized to chloroplasts.The transcriptome data of Of GGPPS13 was verified by q RT-PCR and the expression level in‘Wanyingui'with strong aroma was higher than that in‘Zhuangyuanhong'with deep color at different flower development stages.Transient overexpression of Of GGPPS13 in O.fragrans petals showed that Of GGPPS13 increased the β-carotene content,the main color substance of O.fragrans,but decreased the linalool content,the main volatile organic compound(VOC)in the floral aroma of O.fragrans.Of GGPPS13 was indicated as the critical gene related to terpenoid synthesis in the floral aroma and color formation in O.fragrans.Our findings provide gene resources on the GGPPS gene family for further revealing the molecular regulation mechanism of the floral color and aroma formation in O.fragrans.

文摘There is a contradiction between the evolution rate of materials and the time resolution of SR-CT characterization in the in situ synchrotron radiation computed tomography(SR-CT)characterization of ultrafast evolution process.The sampling strategy of the ultra-sparse angle is an effective method for improving time resolution.Accurate reconstruction under sparse sampling conditions has always been a bottleneck problem.In recent years,convolutional neural networks have shown outstanding advantages in sparse-angle CT reconstruction given the development of deep learning.However,existing ideas did not consider the expression of high-frequency details in neural networks,limiting their application in accurate SR-CT characterization.A novel high-frequency information-constrained deep learning network(HFIC-Net)is proposed in response to this problem.Additional high-frequency information constraints are added to improve the accuracy of the reconstruction results.Further,a series of numerical reconstruction experiments are conducted to verify this new method,and the results indicate that the reconstruction results of HFIC-Net method effectively improve reconstruction quality.This new method uses only eight-angle projections to achieve the reconstruction effect of the filtered backprojection method(FBP)method in 360 projections.The results of the HFIC-Net method demonstrate clear boundaries and accurate detailed structures,correcting the misinformation caused by using other methods.For quantitative evaluation,the SSIM used to evaluate image structure similarity is increased from 0.1951,0.9212,and 0.9308 for FBP,FBP-Conv,and DDC-Net,respectively,to 0.9620 for HFIC-Net.Finally,the results of actual SR-CT experimental data indicate that the new method can suppress artifacts and achieve accurate reconstruction,and it is suitable for the in situ SR-CT accurate characterization of ultxafast evolution process.

文摘Hypervelocity rocket sled systems are critical for testing advanced military technologies,yet track damage at speeds exceeding Mach 5 remains a significant challenge for system reliability and performance.In this study,we investigated the hypervelocity impact response and protection for highstrength U71 Mn or bainitic steel used in rocket sled tracks.Flyer plate impact experiments using a two-stage light-gas gun were conducted to study the hypervelocity collision response,followed by the microstructural characterization via optical microscope,scanning electron microscopy equipped with electron backscatter diffraction to reveal underlying damage mechanisms.Then,the calibrated thermalmechanical coupled finite element simulations using the Johnson-Cook constitutive model and MieGrüneisen equation of state were carried out.Results indicated that bainitic steel exhibits superior impact resistance with predominantly smooth scratch-dominated damage due to its higher ductility.In contrast,U71 Mn suffered significant material spallation and crack propagation arising from brittle fracture mechanisms.Zinc-rich epoxy primer coatings effectively mitigated stress concentration and temperature rise in the substrate at impacting velocities below 2.4 km/s,so as to suppress the microstructural damage such as adiabatic shear bands and dynamic recrystallization.However,coating protection diminished at ultra-high-speed impacts due to the coating failure.Dimensional analysis established quantitative relationships of the gouge damage size to projectile mass,impact velocity,and material yield strength.This study provides in-depth insights into damage mechanisms in hypervelocity rail systems,demonstrating that bainitic steel combined with protective coatings can significantly enhance impact resistance and system reliability,offering valuable guidance for the design and optimization of hypervelocity testing platforms.

文摘Rationally regulating the adsorption strength of reaction intermediates on the surface of copper-based electrocatalysts would influence the product selectivity in the electrochemical CO_(2)reduction reaction(eCO_(2)RR).Herein,theoretical screening results reveal that among the twelve metals,Mg,Al,Cr,Mn,Fe,Co,Ni,Zn,Sn,Bi,Mo and Ce,the introduction of the metals Bi,Ce,Mg and Mn into CuOOH nanosheets not only modulates the Cu active center,but also leads to a certain degree of conformational distortion,resulting in an increased occupation of electrons in the antibonding state and accelerating the formation of the ratedetermining step ^(*)HCOO.In situ spectroscopies combined with theoretical calculations confirm that Bi atoms modulate the electronic structure of Cu and enhance CO_(2)activation,while Cu sites promote the adsorption of ^(*)HCOO intermediate,significantly increasing the formation of HCOOH with Faradaic efficiency exceeding 90%on the CuBiOOH.Moreover,the introduction of Mn into CuOOH nanosheets can induce the formation of key intermediates(^(*)CHO and ^(*)CO),leading to enhanced asymmetric C–C coupling to generate ethanol.Our work provides deep insights into the structural regulation strategy of Cu sites at the atomic scale for converting CO_(2)to liquid chemical products.

文摘The identification of rock mass hazard sources is fundamental for preventing rockfall and landslide disasters in mountainous regions,with rock mass structural characteristics playing a vital role in hazard assessment.In this study,terrestrial laser scanning(TLS)and unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)technologies were integrated to enhance the evaluation methodology for rock mass hazard sources,focusing on the Sichuan Yanjiang Expressway project in China.The findings demonstrate that TLS-UAV technology enhanced both spatial coverage and data density in slope modeling.Through integrated algorithmic analysis,rock discontinuities within heterogeneous datasets were systematically identified,enabling quantitative extraction and statistical analysis of key geometric parameters,including orientation,trace length,spacing,and roughness.Furthermore,quantitative models were developed for cohesion,friction angle and the morphology parameter M of in situ discontinuities,respectively,facilitating efficient mechanical parameter acquisition.A novel rock mass hazard index(RHI)was developed incorporating discontinuity geometric rating(DGR),discontinuity mechanical rating(DMR),and slope mass rating(SMR).Field validation confirmed the methodology's effectiveness in evaluating risk levels and spatial heterogeneity of rock mass hazard sources,revealing the contribution of different discontinuity sets to the rock mass hazard and identifying the primary discontinuity sets controlling instability mechanisms.This study is of great significance for evaluating discontinuity-controlled rock mass hazard sources and preventing rockfall disasters.

文摘To address the limitations of contemporary lithium-ion batteries,particularly their low energy density and safety concerns,all-solid-state lithium batteries equipped with solid-state electrolytes have been identified as an up-and-coming alternative.Among the various SEs,organic–inorganic composite solid electrolytes(OICSEs)that combine the advantages of both polymer and inorganic materials demonstrate promising potential for large-scale applications.However,OICSEs still face many challenges in practical applications,such as low ionic conductivity and poor interfacial stability,which severely limit their applications.This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent research advancements in OICSEs.Specifically,the influence of inorganic fillers on the main functional parameters of OICSEs,including ionic conductivity,Li+transfer number,mechanical strength,electrochemical stability,electronic conductivity,and thermal stability are systematically discussed.The lithium-ion conduction mechanism of OICSE is thoroughly analyzed and concluded from the microscopic perspective.Besides,the classic inorganic filler types,including both inert and active fillers,are categorized with special emphasis on the relationship between inorganic filler structure design and the electrochemical performance of OICSEs.Finally,the advanced characterization techniques relevant to OICSEs are summarized,and the challenges and perspectives on the future development of OICSEs are also highlighted for constructing superior ASSLBs.

文摘In 316L austenitic stainless steel,the presence of ferrite phase severely affects the non-magnetic properties.316L austenitic stainless steel with low-alloy type(L-316L)and high-alloy type(H-316L)has been studied.The microstructure and solidification kinetics of the two as-cast grades were in situ observed by high temperature confocal laser scanning microscopy(HT-CLSM).There are significant differences in the as-cast microstructures of the two 316L stainless steel compositions.In L-316L steel,ferrite morphology appears as the short rods with a ferrite content of 6.98%,forming a dual-phase microstructure consisting of austenite and ferrite.Conversely,in H-316L steel,the ferrite appears as discontinuous network structures with a content of 4.41%,forming a microstructure composed of austenite and sigma(σ)phase.The alloying elements in H-316L steel exhibit a complex distribution,with Ni and Mo enriching at the austenite grain boundaries.HT-CLSM experiments provide the real-time observation of the solidification processes of both 316L specimens and reveal distinct solidification modes:L-316L steel solidifies in an FA mode,whereas H-316L steel solidifies in an AF mode.These differences result in ferrite and austenite predominantly serving as the nucleation and growth phases,respectively.The solidification mode observed by experiments is similar to the thermodynamic calculation results.The L-316L steel solidified in the FA mode and showed minimal element segregation,which lead to a direct transformation of ferrite to austenite phase(δ→γ)during phase transformation after solidification.Besides,the H-316L steel solidified in the AF mode and showed severe element segregation,which lead to Mo enrichment at grain boundaries and transformation of ferrite into sigma and austenite phases through the eutectoid reaction(δ→σ+γ).

文摘Objective This study reports the first imported case of Lassa fever(LF)in China.Laboratory detection and molecular epidemiological analysis of the Lassa virus(LASV)from this case offer valuable insights for the prevention and control of LF.Methods Samples of cerebrospinal fluid(CSF),blood,urine,saliva,and environmental materials were collected from the patient and their close contacts for LASV nucleotide detection.Whole-genome sequencing was performed on positive samples to analyze the genetic characteristics of the virus.Results LASV was detected in the patient’s CSF,blood,and urine,while all samples from close contacts and the environment tested negative.The virus belongs to the lineage IV strain and shares the highest homology with strains from Sierra Leone.The variability in the glycoprotein complex(GPC)among different strains ranged from 3.9%to 15.1%,higher than previously reported for the seven known lineages.Amino acid mutation analysis revealed multiple mutations within the GPC immunogenic epitopes,increasing strain diversity and potentially impacting immune response.Conclusion The case was confirmed through nucleotide detection,with no evidence of secondary transmission or viral spread.The LASV strain identified belongs to lineage IV,with broader GPC variability than previously reported.Mutations in the immune-related sites of GPC may affect immune responses,necessitating heightened vigilance regarding the virus.

文摘Accurate estimation of mineralogy from geophysical well logs is crucial for characterizing geological formations,particularly in hydrocarbon exploration,CO_(2) sequestration,and geothermal energy development.Current techniques,such as multimineral petrophysical analysis,offer details into mineralogical distribution.However,it is inherently time-intensive and demands substantial geological expertise for accurate model evaluation.Furthermore,traditional machine learning techniques often struggle to predict mineralogy accurately and sometimes produce estimations that violate fundamental physical principles.To address this,we present a new approach using Physics-Integrated Neural Networks(PINNs),that combines data-driven learning with domain-specific physical constraints,embedding petrophysical relationships directly into the neural network architecture.This approach enforces that predictions adhere to physical laws.The methodology is applied to the Broom Creek Deep Saline aquifer,a CO_(2) sequestration site in the Williston Basin,to predict the volumes of key mineral constituents—quartz,dolomite,feldspar,anhydrite,illite—along with porosity.Compared to traditional artificial neural networks (ANN),the PINN approach demonstrates higher accuracy and better generalizability,significantly enhancing predictive performance on unseen well datasets.The average mean error across the three blind wells is 0.123 for ANN and 0.042 for PINN,highlighting the superior accuracy of the PINN approach.This method reduces uncertainties in reservoir characterization by improving the reliability of mineralogy and porosity predictions,providing a more robust tool for decision-making in various subsurface geoscience applications.
