文摘To meet the need for cultivating application-oriented talents in local universities,this study introduced a project-based learning approach into the reform of bioinformatics experimental teaching.The course was structured around a project titled"Influenza Virus Analysis",comprising four progressive modules:database utilization and information retrieval,sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis,functional and structural prediction,and omics data analysis.These modules were integrated into a coherent research workflow that connected fragmented knowledge and technical skills.During implementation,flipped classroom and group collaboration methods were employed,alongside the establishment of a diversified assessment system emphasizing process evaluation.Teaching practice indicates that the reform effectively enhances students professional application skills,learning experience,and scientific literacy,facilitating a shift from"tool operation"to"problem-solving"capabilities.This study provides a reference model for the reform of bioinformatics experimental teaching in local universities.

文摘Heavy-ion collisions(HICs)is a unique experimental tool for investigating the properties of nuclear matter under extreme conditions in the laboratory.At HIRFL-CSR energies,HICs can create nuclear matter with 2-3 times the saturation density(ρ_(0)).The HIRFL-CSR external-target experiment(CEE)is a large-acceptance spectrometer designed to explore frontier topics in high-energy nuclear physics,such as the QCD phase structure and nuclear matter equation of states.In this letter,we introduce simulation and analysis software for the CEE experiment(CeeROOT).Based on the CEE conceptual design and CeeROOT software,the configurations of its subdetectors were optimized by considering foreseeable physical constraints.The final detector layout of the CEE spectrometer and its acceptances were validated through simulations of U+U collisions at 500 MeV/u and pp collisions at 2.8 GeV,which demonstrated that the CEE experiment will serve as a detector with wide acceptance and multi-particle identification capabilities for studying high-energy nuclear physics topics at HIRFL-CSR energies with pp,pA,and A A collisions.

文摘The shear adhesive strength at the clay‒metal interfaces serves as a critical parameter for evaluating the soil adhesion and metal interface mudding phenomena.However,its rapid determination remains challenging because of the demanding requirements for high-precision instrumentation and complex calibration procedures.In this study,an integrated framework was presented that combined physical experiments,theoretical approaches,and machine learning to enable the autonomous determination of the shear adhesive strength of soil under multiple influencing factors.We developed an improved particle swarm optimization-optimized ordinary kriging(IPOK)surrogate testing method to enhance the limited experimental datasets,and a lightweight residual neural network(RLNet)was then used for effective intra-and extra-domain predictions.A comprehensive model discussion,comparison,and interpretability analysis were conducted.The results from 64 physical experiments considering the consistency index,normal stress,clay content,rotation rate,and disc material effectively characterized the shear adhesion behaviour of kaolin.The IPOK surrogate experiments successfully replicated the physical data points while enriching the dataset details.The RLNet model trained with IPOK data achieved superior prediction performance,with a root mean square error of 7.491 and a determination coefficient of 0.927 in 16 orthogonal validation tests,and high similarity was attained between the predicted and measured values.A detailed model discussion analysis confirmed the superiority of the IPOK-RLNet framework.This methodology provides a cost-effective rapid analysis technique for assessing clay‒metal interface shear adhesion,significantly reducing laboratory testing requirements and experimental costs while increasing engineering efficiency.

文摘To improve the accuracy of rockburst risk evaluation in mining and tunnelling engineering,the influence of intermediate principal stress σ_(2) deserves further consideration,which has been neglected in general prediction frameworks.This study employs an integrated approach that combines true-triaxial unloading experiments with three-dimensional grain-based discrete element modeling(PFC3D-GBM)to examine the effects of σ_(2) on strain systematically burst and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.Through this dual experimental–numerical methodology,the strainburst characteristics under varying σ_(2) are analyzed in detail regarding mechanical responses,failure evolution and patterns,microscope fracture mechanisms,and energy partitioning.The results indicate that elevated σ_(2) can enhance the bearing capacity of rock,thereby necessitating a higher stress condition required for strainburst.However,it also enlarges the potential strainburst intensity,manifesting as deeper rockburst pits and more violent ejection of rock fragments.An increasing σ_(2) facilitates the microscope transgranular fractures,inhibits intergranular tensile fractures,and raises the kinetic energy conversion ratio slightly.It affects the intensity of strainburst through the following mechanisms,including the increase of energy storage limit,the intensification of Poisson effect for lateral expansion,and the enhancement of the transgranular fracturing mechanism.In practical engineering,the depth and range of support needs to be ensured under high σ_(2) conditions,and it is recommended to use prestressing techniques to control the development of significant slabbing.

文摘Transitioning from outcrossing to self-fertilization is a widespread reproductive strategy in plants,especially in environments where pollination is limited.Despite its prevalence,this transition has rarely been examined using transplant experiments,and previous studies have overlooked the contribution of the male parent in elucidating mating diversity.In this study,six transplanted populations were generated to investigate the relationship of the pollination environment with plant mating patterns and fecundity in Primula oreodoxa,a species that exhibits both distyly(predominantly outcrossing)and homostyly(predominantly selfing),based on data from 3582 individuals and 11 SSR markers.Homostylous plants had fruit and seed sets comparable to those of distylous plants at lower elevations but exhibited a clear reproductive advantage at higher elevations,particularly compared with the S morph.As elevation increased,the populational selfing rates increased,and the genetic diversity among the progeny was reduced.Furthermore,the visitation frequency of long-tongued pollinators was negatively and positively correlated with the selfing rate and number of mates,respectively,in the L and S morphs.In contrast,short-tongued pollinator visitation showed opposite correlations with the selfing rate and number of mates in homostylous morphs.In most populations,individuals functioned consistently as both female and male,and mating occurred randomly,suggesting a breakdown of the distyly polymorphism.Overall,our results provide experimental validation of the reproductive advantages of homostyly at high elevations by revealing that pollinator visitation shapes the selfing rate and mating diversity within populations,potentially driving the divergence of mating systems along environmental gradients.
文摘Experimental therapies targeting immune and stromal cells,such as mast cells,cancer-associated fibroblasts,dendritic cells,and tumor endothelial cells,in the treatment of gastrointestinal solid tumors pose new and complex surgical and medico-legal challenges.These innovative treatments require that informed consent not be limited to simple acceptance of the medical procedure,but instead reflect a true relational and cognitive process grounded in understanding,free choice,and the ability to revoke consent at any time.In particular,it is essential that the patient understands the experimental nature of the therapy,its development stage,potential benefits and risks,as well as the implications for their health and personal dignity.In the case of stromal cell-based treatments,which may exert complex immunomodulatory effects or activate angiogenic pathways that are not yet fully understood,patients must be made fully aware that they are participating in a non-standardized therapy whose outcomes,whether beneficial or harmful,cannot yet be predicted with certainty.This requires particularly careful medical communication,using simple yet scientifically accurate explanations delivered in appropriate language,along with a final verification of the patient’s actual understanding.

文摘The dynamic characteristics of the track system can directly affect its service performance and failure process.To explore the load characteristics and dynamic response of the track system under the dynamic loads from the rack vehicle in traction conditions,a systematic test of the track subsystem was carried out on a large-slope test line.In the test,the bending stress of the rack teeth,the wheel-rail forces,and the acceleration of crucial components in the track system were measured.Subsequently,a detailed analysis was conducted on the tested signals of the rack railway track system in the time domain and the time-frequency domains.The test results indicate that the traction force significantly affects the rack tooth bending stress and the wheel-rail forces.The vibrations of the track system under the traction conditions are mainly caused by the impacts generated from the gear-rack engagement,which are then transferred to the sleepers,the rails,and the ballast beds.Furthermore,both the maximum stress on the racks and the wheel-rail forces measured on the rails remain below their allowable values.This experimental study evaluates the load characteristics and reveals the vibration characteristics of the rack railway track system under the vehicle’s ultimate load,which is very important for the load-strengthening design of the key components such as racks and the vibration and noise reduction of the track system.

文摘4-Bromo-3-methylphenol(BMP)is an important chemical intermediate with wide applications in the fields of medicine and pesticides.The synthesis of BMP from m-cresol via bromination is easy to carry out on an industrial scale.However,due to the formation of regioisomeric impurities during bromination and the low melting point of BMP,the separation process is prone to the formation of oily substances,resulting in low yield and purity.In this work,a new cocrystallization engineering approach was proposed to separate and purify BMP.Through design of experiments,the cocrystallization process of BMP and triethylenediamine(DABCO)was optimized using a minimum-run resolution IV screening design combined with response surface methodology.In addition,the obtained 2BMP-DABCO powder was characterized by thermal analysis,powder X-ray diffraction,infrared spectroscopy,and scanning electron microscopy.Single crystals of 2BMP-DABCO were grown from acetone by slow evaporation,and detailed structural information was obtained through single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The self-assembly mechanism was further clarified by density functional theory calculations.This study provides a simple,robust,and scalable method for the production of BMP and offers a reference for the separation and purification of phenolic substances.

文摘In mixture experiments,the observed response is determined by the relative proportions of the components,consequently rendering the experimental region a simplex.This paper focuses primarily on the optimal designs of mixture experiments that involve process variables.Prior research has extensively delved into optimal orthogonal block designs for some classic mixture models with process variables.Based on the framework of general blending models,this paper proposes a class of symmetric linear mixture models,which can be regarded as a generalization of many existing ones.Under the orthogonal blocking conditions,orthogonal block designs are devised through Latin squares in the presence of process variables.TheD-,A-,and E-optimality criteria are utilized to obtain optimal designs at the boundary of the simplex in the case of 3 components.As the values of the exponents change,numerically derived optimal design points are presented to illustrate the pattern of their variations,and to verify the consistency of the results with previous research on some specific symmetric general blending models.

文摘Time-delayed blasting is widely utilized in engineering to mitigate induced vibration hazards and enhance fragmentation.The underlying vibration reduction principle is the decrease of the charge weight per delay,while the potential for further vibration reduction remains debated,largely due to unclear underlying mechanisms.In light of the popularization of electronic detonators and the representativeness of double-hole configurationsfor multiple blastholes,it is essential to investigate the vibration characteristics induced by time-delayed double blastholes.Therefore,a series of doubleborehole experimental blasts was conducted in an underground roadway to clarify the variation in vibration from single-hole to dual-hole conditions.Based on the experimental data and inherent limitations,an exact full-fieldtheoretical model was further employed to systematically analyze the effects of delay time,charge length,and borehole inclination angle on vibrations induced by various doublehole configurations.The experimental data and theoretical analysis reveal that the general scaled distance effectively predicts vibrations in delayed blasting but does not reflectvibration reduction.Increasing delay time causes fluctuatingPPVs,which stabilize slightly above single-hole PPVs as delay times exceed a certain value.The delayed blasting primarily reduces near-fieldfrequencies.Longer charge lengths in double boreholes increase PPV levels and attenuation rates within a certain length,and the vibration behavior of combined long and short charge lengths is governed by the long blasthole.Larger blasthole inclination angles enhance vibration amplitude and reduce PPV attenuation rates.Optimizing inclination angles is more critical than adjusting delay times,and parallel boreholes offer the best vibration control.

文摘Fluid seepage and associated heat transfer within the enhanced geothermal system(EGS)regulate the extraction of heat from hot,low-water-saturation thermal reservoirs,sometimes referred to as hot dry rock(HDR).To understand these complex heat recovery processes,we simulated long-term heat extraction in a surrogate HDR using a true triaxial apparatus.A circulation test was first implemented to analyze the connectivity between different wells.Suitable injection and production wells were then selected for the laboratory heat extraction tests in granite,which lasted 14.5 h.Under variable injection rate conditions,we systematically analyzed the time-varying curves of temperature and flow rate in the production wells and pressure in the injection wells.Our findings showed that the advantage channel was dominant in the flow distribution when several paths existed in EGS.Changes in fracture conductivity are attributed to injection pressure.These included an increase in fracture width and activation of a localized closed area of fracture.These two mechanisms influenced the production temperature,and this is consistent with the field data monitored at the Fenton Hill and Hijiori projects.Fluid leak-off was an important factor affecting the production flow rate.For a fracture with low hydraulic conductivity,a lower injection rate could effectively prevent excessive fluid leak-off.In addition,by comparing injection rates and fluid recovery rates,production wells in different phases or injection modes had different fluid recovery rates even when the injection rates were the same.

文摘In this work,the selected icebreaker model experiment is performed in a towing tank.We focus on the influence of seawater salinity on ship ice resistance in the ice floe field and the innovative ice model and ship model test technology,including the similitude rule of ship model tests,test principles,and validation with full-scale ship data.A formula for calculating the relationship between the temperature and salinity of the water is constructed,which can be used to simulate the role of seawater in freshwater ice pools.On this basis,the effect of salinity on the resistance of ships sailing in broken ice fields is studied.A technique in which artificial ice made of polyethylene spheres is used to simulate ice resistance is proposed.With a series of ship model experiments in spherical and triangular ice fields,the effects of salinity and velocity on the ice resistance test of the ship model are analyzed.A relationship of the ice resistance of the ship model to the spherical ice field and the triangular ice field is proposed.The conversion results are consistent with onsite data of the full-size ship,which verifies the method of converting the test results of the ship model to the prototype.

文摘High-pressure and high-temperature(HPHT)experiments in large-volume presses(LVPs)benefit from reliable,available,and affordable heaters to achieve stable and homogeneous heating and,in some circumstances,X-ray transparency for monitoring of properties of an in situ experiment using X-ray diffraction and contrast imaging techniques.We have developed heaters meeting the above requirements,and we screen the ternary system TiB2–SiC–hexagonal(h)BN(denoted as TSB)to enable manufacture of X-ray transparent heaters for HPHT runs.Heaters fabricated using optimized TSB-631(60%TiB2–30%SiC–10%hBN by weight)have been tested in modified truncated assemblies,showing excellent performance up to 22 GPa and 2395 K in HPHT runs.TSB-631 has good ceramic machinability,outstanding reproducibility,high stability,and negligible temperature gradient for runs at 3–7 GPa with cell assemblies with truncated edge lengths of 8–12 mm.The fabricated heaters not only show excellent performance in HPHT runs,but also demonstrate high X-ray transparency over a wide X-ray wavelength region,indicating potential applications for in situ X-ray diffraction/imaging under HPHT conditions in LVPs and other high-pressure apparatus.
