Tidal signals were isolated using sequential modeling techniques by subtracting non-tidal field model predictions from observed magnetic data. The extracted MSS-1 results show strong agreement with those from the Swarm and CryoSat satellites. MSS-1 effectively captures key large-scale tidal-induced magnetic anomalies, mainly due to its unique 41-degree low-inclination orbit, which provides wide coverage of local times. This finding underscores the strong potential of MSS-1 to recover high-resolution global tidal magnetic field models as more MSS-1 data become available.展开更多

文摘Seepage refers to the flow of water through porous materials.This phenomenon has a crucial role in dam,slope,excavation,tunnel,and well design.Performing seepage analysis usually is a challenging task,as one must cope with the uncertainty associated with the parameters such as the hydraulic conductivity in the horizontal and vertical directions that drive this phenomenon.However,at the same time,the data on horizontal and vertical hydraulic conductivities are typically scarce in spatial resolution.In this context,so-called non-traditional approaches for uncertainty quantification(such as intervals and fuzzy variables)offer an interesting alternative to classical probabilistic methods,since they have been shown to be quite effective when limited information on the governing parameters of a phenomenon is available.Therefore,the main contribution of this study is the development of a framework for conducting seepage analysis in saturated soils,where uncertainty associated with hydraulic conductivity is characterized using fuzzy fields.This method to characterize uncertainty extends interval fields towards the domain of fuzzy numbers.In fact,it is illustrated that fuzzy fields are an effective tool for capturing uncertainties with a spatial component,since they allow one to account for available physical measurements.A case study in confined saturated soil shows that with the proposed framework,it is possible to quantify the uncertainty associated with seepage flow,exit gradient,and uplift force effectively.

文摘This study presents preliminary results of tidal-induced magnetic field signals extracted from 9 months of data collected by the Macao Science Satellite-1(MSS-1) from November 2023 to July 2024. Tidal signals were isolated using sequential modeling techniques by subtracting non-tidal field model predictions from observed magnetic data. The extracted MSS-1 results show strong agreement with those from the Swarm and CryoSat satellites. MSS-1 effectively captures key large-scale tidal-induced magnetic anomalies, mainly due to its unique 41-degree low-inclination orbit, which provides wide coverage of local times. This finding underscores the strong potential of MSS-1 to recover high-resolution global tidal magnetic field models as more MSS-1 data become available.
文摘Aircraft disturbs the adjacent atmospheric environment in flight,forming spatial distribution features of atmospheric density that differ from the natural background,which may potentially be utilized as tracer characteristics to introduce new technologies for indirectly sensing the presence of aircraft.In this paper,the concept of a long-range aircraft detection based on the atmospheric disturbance density field is proposed,and the detection mode of tomographic imaging of the scattering light of an atmospheric disturbance flow field is designed.By modeling the spatial distribution of the disturbance density field,the scattered echo signal images of active light towards the disturbance field at long distance are simulated.On this basis,the characteristics of the disturbance optical signal at the optimal detection resolution are analyzed.The results show that the atmospheric disturbance flow field of the supersonic aircraft presents circular in the light-scattering echo images.The disturbance signal can be further highlighted by differential processing of the adjacent scattering images.As the distance behind the aircraft increases,the diffusion range of the disturbance signal increases,and the signal intensity and contrast with the background decrease.Under the ground-based observation conditions of the aircraft at a height of 10000 m,a Mach number of1.6,and a detection distance of 100 km,the contrast between the disturbance signal and the back-ground was 30 d B at a distance of one time from the rear of the fuselage,and the diffusion diameter of the disturbance signal was 50 m.At a distance eight times the length of the aircraft,the contrast decreased to 10 dB,and the diameter increased to 290 m.The contrast was reduced to 3 dB at a distance nine times the length of the aircraft,and the diameter was diffused to 310 m.These results indicate the possibility of long-range aircraft detection based on the characteristics of the atmospheric density field.
文摘The article discusses the prospects of using algae in the soil—to improve the fertility of rice fields in the Osh oblast of Kyrgyzstan.The authors note that the Fergana Valley,where Osh oblast is located,is an important rice-grow-ing region,and there are currently plans to expand rice fields.In this regard,the study of methods to increase rice yields,such as algolization,is of particular relevance.The article emphasizes that rice fields are unique aquatic ecosystems where microorganisms,especially algae,play an important role.Algae,particularly blue-green algae(cyanobacteria),are capable of fixing nitrogen from the air and enrich the soil with it,which is especially important for rice,which needs nitrogen for growth.The algolization method helps to improve soil structure,reduce the need for mineral fertilizers,control weeds and is an environmentally friendly method of fertility improvement.The authors provide data on the spe-cies composition of cyanobacteria found in rice fields in Osh oblast,noting the predominance of Chroococcus and Hor-mogonium forms.They also indicate seasonal fluctuations in algae abundance associated with climatic conditions.In conclusion,the authors highlight the promising application of algolization in rice farming in Osh oblast and the need for further research to identify the most effective algal species and develop optimal methods of their application.

文摘The extreme removal of SiO2 and MnO inclusions in 304 stainless steel in supergravity fields was investigated using an inhouse high-temperature supergravity equipment.The influences of the gravity coefficient and separation time on the removal efficiency of the inclusions were studied.After supergravity treatment,the inclusions migrated to the top of the sample and formed large aggregates.Meanwhile,the lower part of the sample was purified considerably and appeared significantly cleaner than the raw material.At the gravity coefficient of 500 and separation time of 600 s,the total oxygen content at the bottom of the sample(position E)decreased from 240 to 28 ppm.This corresponded to a total oxygen removal rate of 88.33%.The volume fraction and number density of inclusions exhibited a gradient distribution along the supergravity direction,with values of 8.5%and 106 mm^(-2) at the top of the sample(position A)and 0.06%and 22 mm^(-2) at its bottom.

文摘This study presents an experimental investigation of the coupled caloric effect driven by dual-fields in metamagnetic alloy ErCo_(2) with strong magneto-structural coupling.Magnetic measurements were conducted under different pressures,revealing that the application of hydrostatic pressure stabilizes a small volume of paramagnetism(PM) phase,resulting in a shift of the phase transition temperature towards the low-temperature region.This shift is opposite to the temperature associated with the magnetic field-driven phase transition.As pressure increases,the metamagnetic transition in ErCo_(2) is suppressed,and the hysteresis disappears.However,the produced cross-coupling caloric effect compensates the decrease in entropy change caused by the disappearance of the metamagnetic transition.As a result,a reversible giant magnetocaloric effect of 46.2 J/(kg·K) without hysteresis is achieved at a pressure of 0.910 GPa.Moreover,we propose that the temperature span of ErCo_(2) can be significantly widened by optimizing the thermodynamic pathway of the magnetic and pressure fields,overcoming the defect of a narrow temperature range.

文摘Lithium-sulfurized polyacrylonitrile(Li-SPAN)batteries are an advanced class of Li-S energy storage systems that effectively mitigate the poly sulfide shuttle effect.However,conventional SPAN cathodes experience low active material retention(<40 wt%)and sluggish electrochemical kinetics,which limit their practical application.To address these challenges,this study introduces a CoS_(2)/NiS_(2)@SeSPAN composite nanofiber membrane as a high-performance Li-SPAN cathode.The cathode was synthesized through electro spinning Co/Ni salts with PAN,followed by hydrothermal deposition of Ni-ZIF-67 and SeSx-assisted thermal treatment to form a CoS_(2)/NiS_(2)heterostructure within the SeSPAN matrix.Experimental validation and density functional theory simulations confirmed that the cathode electrolyte interphase layer effectively encapsulated the active material,extending the solidstate reaction pathway.This hierarchical porous architecture enabled a high active material loading of 59 wt%,which considerably exceeds that of conventional SPANbased cathodes.The three-dimensional interconnected fiber network maximized the exposure of the CoS_(2)/NiS_(2)heterojunction,while the metal sulfides increased the conductivity to facilitate efficient electron and ion transport.The intrinsic electric field within the CoS_(2)/NiS_(2)hetero structure further enhanced poly sulfide adsorption and catalytic conversion,accelerating the electrochemical kinetics.As a result,the CoS_(2)/NiS_(2)@SeSPAN cathode had an initial discharge capacity of 678 mAh g^(-1)at 0.2C,maintaining 634 mAh g^(-1)at 0.5C.Remarkably,the battery maintained 98.2%of its capacity after 800 cycles,highlighting its outstanding long-term cycling stability.The substantial potential of CoS_(2)/NiS_(2)@SeSPAN for highperformance Li-SP AN batteries and the critical role of hetero structure engineering in next-generation energy storage technologies are highlighted in this study.

文摘Scalar fields should have no spin angular momentum according to conventional textbook understandings inclassical field theory.Yet,recent studies demonstrate the undoubted existence of wave spin endowed by acousticand elastic longitudinal waves,which are of irrotational curl-free nature without vorticity and can be describedby scalar fields.Moreover,the conventional theory cannot even answer the question of whether wave spin existsin dissipative fields,given the ubiquitous dissipation in reality.Here,to resolve the seeming paradox and answerthe challenging question,we uncover the origin of wave spin in scalar fields beyond traditional formalism byclarifying that the presence of higher-order derivatives in scalar field Lagrangians can give rise to non-vanishingwave spin.For“spinless”scalar fields of only first-order derivatives,we can make the hidden wave spin emergeby revealing a latent field that leads to the original field through a time derivative,thus giving higher-order termsin Lagrangian.Based on the standard Noether theorem approach,we exemplify the wave spin for unconventionaldrifted acoustic fields,and even for dissipative media,in scalar fields with higher-order derivative Lagrangian.The results would prompt people to build more comprehensive and fundamental understandings of structuralwave spin in classical fields.

文摘Spiral waves,as a typical self-organized structure with chiral characteristics,are widely found in excitable media such as cardiac tissues,chemical reactions,and neural networks.Based on the Fitz Hugh–Nagumo model,we investigated the mechanisms underlying the effects of direct current electric fields(DCEF),alternating current electric fields(ACEF),and polarized electric fields(PEF)on the interaction and annihilation processes of counter-rotating spiral waves.We found that in a direct current electric field,the drift direction of the spiral wave is determined jointly by its chirality and the electric field direction,which allows selective attraction or repulsion.In an alternating current electric field,the annihilation behavior of spiral waves can be influenced by the phase and intensity of the electric field,where a specific range of parameters induces resonance drift and eventual annihilation.On the other hand,the polarized electric field exhibits a more complex modulation capability on spiral waves:the trajectory and annihilation efficiency of spiral waves can be regulated by both the intensity and phase of the polarized electric field.These results reveal the potential feasibility of regulating multichiral spiral waves through multiple electric fields,providing theoretical insight for the control of spiral waves in relevant systems.

文摘The strong crustal magnetic fields significantly alter the structure of the Martian space environment,including all plasma boundaries.The stretches of mini-magnetospheres formed by crustal fields from the location of the Martian bow shocks were first found from the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN(MAVEN)observations.The present study aims to test whether this effect is also present in the shocks observed by Mars Express(MEX).We find that the bow shocks above the crustal field regions are enlarged,resulting in a north−south asymmetry and a longitude dependence in the shock size.The longitude dependence is more pronounced for near-subsolar shocks,and more dispersed for near-terminator shocks.The enlarged shocks are also observed to have shifted tailward from the longitudes of the strongest crustal fields.Due to a dawnside bias in MEX shock crossings,the enlarged shocks generally display a westward shift from the strongest crustal field region.These results confirm that stretches of the mini-magnetosphere are also present in the MEX shock observations.
