Little work has been conducted tostudy the impacts of realistic versus global ranges as well as model complexities on the calibrationand uncertainty estimates. The primary purpose of this paper is to investigate these impacts byemploying Bayesian Stochastic Inversion (BSI) to the Chameleon Surface Model (CHASM). The CHASM wasdesigned to explore the general aspects of land-surface energy balance representation within acommon modeling framework that can be run from a simple energy balance formulation to a complexmosaic type structure. The BSI is an uncertainty estimation technique based on Bayes theorem,importance sampling, and very fast simulated annealing. The model forcing data and surface flux datawere collected at seven sites representing a wide range of climate and vegetation conditions. Foreach site, four experiments were performed with simple and complex CHASM formulations as well asrealistic and global parameter ranges. Twenty eight experiments were conducted and 50 000 parametersets were used for each run. The results show that the use of global and realistic ranges givessimilar simulations for both modes for most sites, but the global ranges tend to produce someunreasonable optimal parameter values. Comparison of simple and complex modes shows that the simplemode has more parameters with unreasonable optimal values. Use of parameter ranges and modelcomplexities have significant impacts on frequency distribution of parameters, marginal posteriorprobability density functions, and estimates of uncertainty of simulated sensible and latent heatfluxes. Comparison between model complexity and parameter ranges shows that the former has moresignificant impacts on parameter and uncertainty estimations.展开更多

The scale effects of water erosion, however, greatly exacerbate the difficulties of accurate erosion evaluation and hazard control in the real world. Analyzing the related scale issues is thus urgent for a better understanding of erosion variations as well as reducing such erosion. In this review article, water erosion dynamics across three spatial scales including plot, watershed, and regional scales were selected and discussed. For the study purposes and objectives, the advantages and disadvantages of these scales all demonstrate clear spatial-scale dependence. Plot scale studies are primarily focused on abundant data collection and mechanism discrimination of erosion generation, while watershed scale studies provide valuable information for watershed management and hazard control as well as the development of quantitatively distributed models. Regional studies concentrate more on large-scale erosion assessment, and serve policymakers and stakeholders in achieving the basis for regulatory policy for comprehensive land uses. The results of this study show that the driving forces and mechanisms of water erosion variations among the scales are quite different. As a result, several major aspects contributing to variations in water erosion across the scales are stressed: differences in the methodologies across various scales, different sink-source roles on water erosion processes, and diverse climatic zones and morphological regions. This variability becomes more complex in the context of accelerated global change. The changing climatic factors and earth surface features are considered the fourth key reason responsible for the increased variability of water erosion across spatial scales.展开更多

文摘The Steiner k-eccentricity of a vertex is the maximum Steiner distance over all k-sets each of which contains the given vertex,where the Steiner distance of a vertex set is the size of a minimum Steiner tree on this set.Since the minimum Steiner tree problem is well-known NP-hard,the Steiner k-eccentricity is not so easy to compute.This paper attempts to efficiently solve this problem on block graphs and general graphs with limited cycles.A block graph is a graph in which each block is a clique,and is also called a clique-tree.On block graphs,we propose an O(k(n+m))-time algorithm to compute the Steiner k-eccentricity of a vertex where n and m are respectively the order and size of a block graph.On general graphs with limited cycles,we take the cyclomatic numberν(G)as a parameter which is the minimum number of edges of G whose removal makes G acyclic,and devise an O(n^(ν(G)+1)(n(G)+m(G)+k))-time algorithm.
文摘Three zinc(Ⅱ),nickel(Ⅱ),and cadmium(Ⅱ)complexes,namely[Zn(μ-Htpta)(py)_(2)]n(1),[Ni(H_(2)biim)2(H_(2)O)2][Ni(tpta)(H_(2)biim)2(H_(2)O)]2·3H_(2)O(2),and[Cd_(3)(μ4-tpta)2(μ-dpe)_(3)]_(n)(3),have been constructed hydrothermally at 160℃ using H_(3)tpta([1,1':3',1″-terphenyl]-4,4',5'-tricarboxylic acid),py(pyridine),H_(2)biim(2,2'-biimidazole),dpe(1,2-di(4-pyridyl)ethylene),and zinc,nickel and cadmium chlorides,resulting in the formation of stable crystalline solids which were subsequently analyzed using infrared spectroscopy,element analysis,thermogravimetric analysis,as well as structural analyses conducted via single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The findings from these single-crystal Xray diffraction studies indicate that complexes 1-3 form crystals within the monoclinic system P2_(1)/c space group(1)or triclinic system P1 space group(2 and 3),and possess 1D,0D,and 3D structures,respectively.Complex 1 demonstrated substantial catalytic efficiency and excellent reusability as a heterogeneous catalyst in the reaction of Knoevenagel condensation under ambient temperature conditions.In addition,complex 1 also showcased notable anti-wear performance when used in polyalphaolefin synthetic lubricants.CCDC:2449810,1;2449811,2;2449812,3.
文摘Six new lanthanide complexes:[Ln(3,4-DEOBA)3(4,4'-DM-2,2'-bipy)]2·2C_(2)H_(5)OH,[Ln=Dy(1),Eu(2),Tb(3),Sm(4),Ho(5),Gd(6);3,4-DEOBA-=3,4-diethoxybenzoate,4,4'-DM-2,2'-bipy=4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine]were successfully synthesized by the volatilization of the solution at room temperature.The crystal structures of six complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technology.The results showed that the complexes all have a binuclear structure,and the structures contain free ethanol molecules.Moreover,the coordination number of the central metal of each structural unit is eight.Adjacent structural units interact with each other through hydrogen bonds and further expand to form 1D chain-like and 2D planar structures.After conducting a systematic study on the luminescence properties of complexes 1-4,their emission and excitation spectra were obtained.Experimental results indicated that the fluorescence lifetimes of complexes 2 and 3 were 0.807 and 0.845 ms,respectively.The emission spectral data of complexes 1-4 were imported into the CIE chromaticity coordinate system,and their corre sponding luminescent regions cover the yellow light,red light,green light,and orange-red light bands,respectively.Within the temperature range of 299.15-1300 K,the thermal decomposition processes of the six complexes were comprehensively analyzed by using TG-DSC/FTIR/MS technology.The hypothesis of the gradual loss of ligand groups during the decomposition process was verified by detecting the escaped gas,3D infrared spectroscopy,and ion fragment information detected by mass spectrometry.The specific decomposition path is as follows:firstly,free ethanol molecules and neutral ligands are removed,and finally,acidic ligands are released;the final product is the corresponding metal oxide.CCDC:2430420,1;2430422,2;2430419,3;2430424,4;2430421,5;2430423,6.
文摘This paper reports the preparation of three di‑iron complexes containing a thiazole moiety.Esterification of complex[Fe_(2)(CO)_(6)(μ‑SCH_(2)CH(CH_(2)OH)S)](1)with 4‑methylthiazole‑5‑carboxylic acid gave the corresponding ester[Fe_(2)(CO)_(6)(μ‑tedt)](2),where tedt=SCH_(2)CH(CH_(2)OOC(5‑C_(3)HNSCH_(3)))S.Further reactions of complex 2 with tri(ptolyl)phosphine(tp)or tris(4‑fluorophenyl)phosphine(fp)gave the phosphine‑substituted derivatives[Fe_(2)(CO)_(5)(tp)(μ‑tedt)](3)and[Fe_(2)(CO)_(5)(fp)(μ‑tedt)](4).The structures of the newly prepared complexes were elucidated by elemental analysis,NMR,IR,and X‑ray photoelectron spectroscopy.Moreover,single‑crystal X‑ray diffraction analysis confirmed their molecular structures,showing that they contain a di‑iron core ligated by a bridged dithiolate bearing a thiazole moiety and terminal carbonyls.The electrochemical and electrocatalytic proton reduction were probed by cyclic voltammetry,revealing that three complexes can catalyze the reduction of protons to H_(2) under the electrochemical conditions.For comparison,complex 4 possessed the best efficiency with a turnover frequency of 23.5 s^(-1)at 10 mmol·L^(-1)HOAc concentration.In addition,the fungicidal activity of these complexes was also investigated in this study.CCDC:2477511,2;2477512,3;2477513,4.

文摘The complexes 1-4 of cyclobutanocucurbit[5]uril(CyB5Q[5])with Na^(+)/K^(+)have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The results show that although the inorganic salts are used when the cations are the same and the anions are different,in complex 1,Na^(+)closes one port of CyB5Q[5]through Na—O seven coordination bonds to form a molecular bowl;in complex 3,Na^(+)completely closes the two ports of CyB5Q[5]to form a molecular capsule with six Na—O coordination bonds;in complexes 2 and 4,the two ports of CyB5Q[5]are completely closed to form K—O coordinated molecular capsules,but the K^(+)of complex 2 is six-coordinated and that of complex 4 is eight-/nine-coordinated.and complex 4 are connected by three oxygen bridges to form a 1D molecular chain.CCDC:2457122,1;2457121,2;2457400,3;2457120,4.
文摘A series of blue and blue‑green Ir(Ⅲ)complexes has been investigated theoretically to explore their electronic structures,photophysical properties,efficiency roll‑off effect,and thermal activation delayed fluorescence(TADF)properties.All calculations were performed using density functional theory(DFT)and time‑dependent density functional theory(TDDFT).Calculations for electronic structures,frontier molecular orbital characteristics(which determine the efficiency roll‑off effect of the complexes),and photophysical properties were conducted using the Gaussian 09 software package.The calculation of spin‑orbit coupling matrix elements<T|HSOC|S>,which determine the TADF properties of the complexes,was performed using the ORCA software package.The calculation results show that the auxiliary ligand tetraphenylimidodiphosphinate(tpip),a strong electron‑withdrawing group,can mitigate the efficiency roll‑off effect of the complex.Furthermore,TADF is observed in one of the designed complexes,(F_(3)Phppy)_(2)Ir(tpip),where F_(3)Phppy=2‑[4‑(2,4,6‑trifluorophenyl)phenyl]pyridine.

文摘Multi-organ-on-a-chip(MOOC)technology represents a pivotal direction in the organ-on-a-chip field,seeking to emulate the complex interactions of multiple human organs in vitro through microfluidic systems.This technology overcomes the limitations of traditional single-organ models,providing a novel platform for investigating complex disease mechanisms and evaluating drug efficacy and toxicity.Although it demonstrates broad application prospects,its development still faces critical bottlenecks,including inadequate physiological coupling between organs,short functional maintenance durations,and limited real-time monitoring capabilities.Contemporary research is advancing along three key directions,including functional coupling,sensor integration,and full-process automation systems,to propel the technology toward enhanced levels of physiological relevance and predictive accuracy.

文摘Cisplatin(CDDP)-based chemotherapy is an effective strategy for the treatment of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC).However,serious toxic side effects of CDDP limit patient tolerance and treatment compliance,which urgently needs to be addressed in clinical application.Liposomes have been considered ideal vehicles for reducing CDDP toxicity due to their high biocompatibility,low toxicity and passive targeting ability.Nevertheless,CDDP's poor water/lipid solubility usually results in a low liposome druglipid ratio,limiting tumor delivery ability.Herein,a CDDP-polyphenol complex liposome was designed to increase the drug loading capacity of CDDP to realize the reduction of toxicity and effective antitumor effect simultaneously.The complex was prepared via complexation reaction of different stoichiometric ratios of CDDP and polyphenolic substances(gallic acid,epigallocatechin gallate and tannic acid),followed by encapsulation of complex in liposomes to improve tumor targeting.Notably,the molecular interaction forces between CDDP and polyphenolic substances were intensively investigated through a binding force disruption assay.In vitro studies demonstrated that the optimal formulation of CDDP-epigallocatechin gallate complex liposome(CDDP-EGCG Lips) showed the highest CDDP encapsulation efficiency,favorable stability,pH-sensitive release,enhanced cellular uptake and apoptosis effect.In vivo studies revealed that CDDP-EGCG Lips retarded the elimination of CDDP to prolong their circulation time,inhibited the growth of tumors,and significantly reduced the toxic side effects compared to CDDP monotherapy.This delivery strategy holds great promise for improving the clinical use of platinum-based drugs.

文摘The Mechanism for Air pollution compleX version 1.0(MAX1),describing detailed tropospheric chemical processes,has been developed based on the latest knowledge.MAX1 contains 940 reactions,including photolysis,gaseous reactions,and heterogeneous reactions of 300 species,which is adequate for both box model and climate transport model(CTM)applications.Detailed chemical processes of chlorine chemistry,chemistry of Criegee intermediates,and heterogeneous uptake of HO_(2) and N_(2)O_(5) have been implemented and updated.With this level of explicitness,MAX1 can support investigations into the quantification of secondary pollutant productions and the chemical behavior of the crucial intermediates,such as organic peroxy radicals.Box model and CTM tests were conducted to evaluate the performance of MAX1 from different perspectives.Simulations of MAX1 successfully captured the variation of ozone in all cases tested.Meanwhile,significant improvement was made on predictions of radicals compared to other mechanisms,especially under the low NO_(x) environment,with good similarity to simulations of a nearly explicit chemical mechanism(i.e.,Master Chemical Mechanism)that contains over 17000 reactions.The computational expense of MAX1 is acceptable and it can be applied in atmospheric scientific research and air quality prediction.MAX1 introduces new dimensions in atmospheric chemistry modeling,and its potential application in policymaking is a promising yet exploratory step.It offers improved insights into air quality dynamics,which could assist policymakers in making more informed decisions.However,the translation of its detailed chemical understanding into practical strategies remains an area for further investigation.This model suggests a path towards more nuanced air pollution control methods,contributing to ongoing efforts in environmental management.

文摘Anthocyanin biosynthesis in plants is spatiotemporally controlled by a suite of transcription factors,with MYB proteins playing a key regulatory role.However,the evolution of the distinct roles of MYB paralogs remains poorly understood.Our previous studies have established GmMYBA2 and GmMYBA3 as the regulators of seed coat and floral anthocyanin production in soybean(Glycine max),respectively.In this study,we reveal the functional divergence of their paralog GmMYBA1 in orchestrating light-responsive anthocyanin biosynthesis in juvenile tissues and stems.In brief,hypocotyl/stem-and young leaf-predominant expression of GmMYBA1 correlates with photoprotective anthocyanin accumulation.Ectopic overexpression of GmMYBA1 induces systemic pigmentation across leaves,stems,and reproductive organs,whereas RNAi-mediated silencing of GmMYBA1 significantly reduces anthocyanin accumulation in the hypocotyl.Light-dark shift assays confirmed that GmMYBA1 is required for hypocotyl pigmentation,while dual-luciferase assays revealed the specific regulation of the GmMYBA paralogs by GmSTF1/2(soybean TGACG-motif binding factor 1/2).GmSTF1/2 both activate GmMYBA1,with only GmSTF2 weakly inducing GmMYBA2 and neither affecting GmMYBA3.Further investigation indicated that the differential transactivation of GmMYBA promoters largely resulted from their cis-element difference,suggesting regulatory divergence as a driver of MYB paralog diversification.Our findings position GmMYBA1 as the central MYB activator integrating light signaling with anthocyanin biosynthesis,with paralog specialization reflecting evolutionary subfunctionalization post-gene duplication.

文摘Pores among particles provide the main space for the storage and migration of deep underground fluids(such as oil,gas,groundwater,and unconventional natural gas).The pores form a pore structure with complex morphology which is mainly dominated by the shape and distribution of particles.Therefore,the reconstruction of the pore structure or granular porous media and the evaluation of particle roundness have become an important foundation for the study of fluid flow through deep underground rock mass.This research proposes a novel approach for the multi-scale model with angular vertexes.The fractal topology theory and Voronoi space segmentation technology are combinedly used for the reconstruction of fractal granular porous media.The angular shapes are smoothed by using a modified B-spline technique and the particles with varying degrees of roundness are generated.To validate the superiority of our approach,the roundness based on the Wadell roundness calculation method is calculated and compared with the roundness obtained from particles smoothed using the vertex rounding substitution method.Results show that the roundness of particles smoothed with the modified B-spline technique closely aligns with the corresponding set rounded level(a nondimensional variable).Conversely,the vertex rounding substitution method is limited to a single dimensionally rounded radius.This innovative approach can offer a new method for the construction of granular porous media for the fluid flow study in deep underground rock mass.

文摘Single-pixel imaging(SPI)receives widespread attention due to its superior anti-interference capabilities,and image segmentation technology can effectively facilitate its recognition and information extraction.However,the complexity of the target scene and plenty of imaging time in SPI make it challenging to achieve high-quality and concise segmentation.In this paper,we investigate the image-free intricate scene semantic segmentation in SPI.Using“learned”illumination patterns allows for the full extraction of the object's spatial information,thereby enabling pixel-level segmentation results through the decoding of the received measurements.Simulation and experimentation show that,in the absence of image reconstruction,the mean intersection over union(MIoU)of segmented image can reach higher than 85%,and the Dice coefficient(DICE)close to 90%even at the sampling ratio of 5%.Our approach may be favorable to applications in medical image segmentation and autonomous driving field.

文摘Ultra-high-strength aluminumalloy profile is an ideal choice for aerospace structuralmaterials due to its excellent specific strength and corrosion resistance.However,issues such as uneven metal flow,stress concentration,and forming defects are prone to occur during their extrusion.This study focuses on an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu ultra-high-strength aluminum alloy profile with a double-U,multi-cavity thin-walled structure.Firstly,hot compression experiments were conducted at temperatures of 350○C,400○C,and 450○C,with strain rates of 0.01 and 1.0 s^(−1),to investigate the plastic deformation behavior of the material.Subsequently,a 3D coupled thermo-mechanical extrusion simulation model was established using Deform-3D to systematically analyze the influence of die structure and process parameters on metal flow velocity,effective stress/strain,and temperature distribution.The simulation revealed significant velocity differences,stress concentration,and uneven temperature distribution.Key parameters,including mesh density,extrusion ratio,die fillet,and bearing length,were optimized through full-factorial experiments.This optimization,combined with a stepped flow-guiding die design,effectively improved the metal flow pattern during extrusion.Trial production based on both the initial and optimized parameters were carried out.A comparative analysis demonstrates that the optimized scheme results in a final profile whose cross-section matches the target design closely,with complete filling of complex features and no obvious forming defects.This research provides a valuable reference for the extrusion process optimization and die design of complex-section profiles made from ultra-high-strength aluminum alloys.
