Experimental results indicate that with the increase of the tool wear, the surface of the machined workpiece tends to generate tensile residual stresses, and white layer becomes clearly thicker and uneven on the workpiece surface. The effect of the flank wear on the surface roughness is less within some range of flank wear value. The results show that it is possible to produce ideal surface integrality levels by controlling the tool flank wear.展开更多

文摘The Chinese Giant Solar Telescope(CGST)low-dispersion spectrograph requires a large field-of-view(FOV)and high spatial resolution,which can be addressed by a carefully designed image slicer system.Our proposed design divides the rectangular 50″×20″FOV at the telescope focal plane into four 50″×5″subfields.Each subfield undergoes optical reconstruction using its independent collimator-camera system(F/36-F/25.79),achieving vertical alignment and focal reduction of subfields to form a pseudo-slit.Using tilt mirrors for scanning allows simultaneous acquisition of spectral data with both a large FOV and a high angular resolution of 0.05″.This resolves manufacturing challenges for an image slicer,avoiding the requirement for hundreds of elements,multi-angle configurations,and compact dimensions,and also provides effective technical support for engineering work on the CGST.
文摘This paper investigates the traffic offloading optimization challenge in Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networks(SAGIN)through a novel Recursive Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization(RMAPPO)algorithm.The exponential growth of mobile devices and data traffic has substantially increased network congestion,particularly in urban areas and regions with limited terrestrial infrastructure.Our approach jointly optimizes unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)trajectories and satellite-assisted offloading strategies to simultaneously maximize data throughput,minimize energy consumption,and maintain equitable resource distribution.The proposed RMAPPO framework incorporates recurrent neural networks(RNNs)to model temporal dependencies in UAV mobility patterns and utilizes a decentralized multi-agent reinforcement learning architecture to reduce communication overhead while improving system robustness.The proposed RMAPPO algorithm was evaluated through simulation experiments,with the results indicating that it significantly enhances the cumulative traffic offloading rate of nodes and reduces the energy consumption of UAVs.

文摘The development of bifunctional electrocatalysts capable of integrating biomass-derived platform molecule oxidation with organic reduction offers a promising strategy for simultaneously enhancing energy efficiency and generating high-value chemicals.However,designing catalysts that exhibit both high activity and stability in integrated systems remains a significant challenge.Herein,we report a selfsupported electrode composed of nitrogen-doped carbonized wood(NCW)supported NiCo nanosheets(NiCo_(0.3)/NCW)that enables the electrocatalytic 5-hydroxymethylfurfural oxidation to produce 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid(FDCA)and the nitrobenzene reduction to yield aniline in an integrated electrochemical cell.The NiCo_(0.3)/NCW electrode achieves the production of FDCA and aniline at a low cell voltage of 1.7 V,with~99%anodic and~92%cathodic Faradaic efficiencies,respectively.Experimental characterizations disclose that the hierarchical porous NCW architecture promotes the dispersion of active sites,while nitrogen doping strengthens metal-support interactions.In-situ spectroscopic experiments combined with density functional theory(DFT)calculations reveal that cobalt incorporation tunes the electronic structure of nickel,thus optimizing substrate and intermediate adsorption,and lowering energy barriers.These effects ultimately enhance the performance of the natural wood-derived catalyst in integrated biomass valorization and selective organic electrosynthesis.

文摘This study investigates how to pedagogically integrate ideological education with competency development in the Intercultural Communication course,a challenge arising from China’s dual reform contexts of the New Liberal Arts initiative and the national curriculum ideology policy.As global interactions intensify,cultivating foreign language professionals who possess both firm cultural confidence and sophisticated intercultural competence have become a critical educational imperative.This exploratory study investigates how a three-dimensional“Value-Knowledge-Competency”framework can guide the redesign of course content,task design,and assessment to achieve organic fusion.Drawing on qualitative data from a case study,it analyzes specific implementation pathways,synthesizes teacher and student feedback,and discusses the resultant challenges and broader implications for foreign language curriculum reform.The findings suggest that such an integrated approach can effectively synergize value guidance with skill cultivation,though its success hinges on overcoming issues related to pedagogical naturalness,resource allocation,and standardized evaluation.
