The cultivation of rural “Local Specialty Products”(“LSPs”) under a green-development framework aligns with the functional positioning of these areas, drives the revitalization of rural industries, and constitutes a fundamental strategy for addressing the unique challenges they face. Although ECAs possess inherent advantages in terms of developing LSPs, they are also confronted by multiple constraints. Accordingly, we propose development objectives that emphasize(a) driving rural industrial prosperity,(b) enhancing the appeal of agricultural heritage, and(c) ensuring inclusive prosperity in the farming communities. In selecting pathways for growth, priority should be given to improving the quality of products, fostering distinctiveness of the technologies, nurturing cultural identities, and upholding the principle of common prosperity. From a policy standpoint, the development of rural LSPs should be recognized as a key lever for advancing the comprehensiveness of rural revitalization in the ECAs. We recommend a set of supportive measures—namely, reinforcing the guidance for spatial planning, integrating the consolidation of factor inputs, and ensuring the robustness of organizational guarantees—to facilitate the high-quality development of LSPs in these areas.展开更多

文摘The multi-pass intermittent local loading process,which features a more flexible processing path,can further enhance the second material distribution during local loading,improve the formability of components,and reduce forming loads.However,the absence of compatible forming equipment makes it difficult to control the constraint in the unloaded zones during the forming process.This difficulty complicates coordination and control of deformation,particularly for asymmetric rib-web components.Additionally,the current implementation involves multi-fire heating,a long process flow,and high energy consumption,which limits the popularization and application of the local loading process.In this study,a new multi-pass local loading hydraulic forming apparatus that can quickly and reliably switch between heavy-load deformation and low-load constraint for different local loading sub-dies was developed.A 10-tonne laboratory prototype was developed,and the forming characteristics during the forming process as well as the response characteristics of the hydraulic system during the multi-pass intermittent local loading of rib-web component were investigated using numerical simulations and physical experiments.Results indicated that,compared to a whole loading process with the same initial geometry of billet,the total forming load(i.e.,the sum of loaded and restrained loads)is reduced by more than 40%with the local loading process,and by nearly 50%with multi-pass local loading.The multi-pass local loading process allows for more effective control of material flow compared to single-pass local loading,leading to improved cavity filling and reduced flow line disturbance.For a large-scale,complex titanium alloy bulkhead,the cavity filling problem was addressed by optimizing the multi-pass local loading path with an unequal thickness billet.The dynamic performance of the multi-pass local loading hydraulic system was found to be robust,with stable pressure transitions during motion and load switching for the sub-die(s).The dynamic characteristic of the hydraulic cylinder when switching from non-moving/unloaded state to a moving/loading state are consistent whether a load is present or not.However,the dynamic characteristics differ when switching from a moving/loading state to non-moving/unloaded state,showing opposite behavior.The developed hydraulic drive mechanism provides a way for implementation of multi-pass local loading without auxiliary operation and extra heating.The results of the study provide a foundation for the industrial production of large-scale,complex components with reduced force requirement and low-energy consumption.

文摘The P2-type Fe/Mn-based layered oxides,with cost advantages and high theoretical capacity,are considered one of the promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries(SIBs).However,the commercial development of these materials is impeded by two main factors:the MnO_(6) structure distortion induced by the Jahn-Teller(J-T)effect of Mn^(3+),and the unfavorable phase transitions that occur during the insertion and extraction of Na^(+).Here,we present a strategy to improve structural stability by incorporating cost-effective,robust Al-O bonds.This approach induces localized adjustments in the electronic structu re and a pinning effect,which limits the deformation of the transition metal(TM)layers,strengthens the electrostatic bonding within the TM layers,and expands the Na layer spacing.Consequently,the Na_(0.67)Fe_(0.4)Mn_(0.54)Al_(0.06)O_(2) cathode demonstrates a capacity of 168.8 mAh g^(-1) at 0.1 C,maintaining89.2%of its original capacity after 200 cycles at 1 C.Through in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)with dynamic resistance transformation(DRT)analysis,ex situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy(XAS),and in situ X-ray diffraction(XRD),the study demonstrates a reduction in the J-T effect,enhanced kinetic performance,and the inhibition of detrimental phase transitions.This study offers new avenues to the development and design of future low-cost Fe/Mn-based cathodes.

文摘Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces(RISs)not only assist communication but also help the localization of user equipment(UE).This study focuses on indoor localization of UE with a single access point(AP)and multiple RISs.First,we propose a two-stage channel estimation scheme where RIS phase shifts are tuned to obtain multiple channel soundings.In the first stage,the newtonized orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm extracts the parameters of multiple paths from the received signals.Then,the LOS path and RISreflected paths are identified.In the second stage,the estimated path gains of RIS-reflected paths with different phase shifts are utilized to determine the angle of arrival(AOA)at the RIS by obtaining the angular pseudo spectrum.Consequently,by taking the AP and RISs as reference points,the linear least squares estimator can locate UE with the estimated AOAs.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can realize centimeter-level localization accuracy in the discussed scenarios.Moreover,the higher accuracy of pseudo spectrum,a larger number of channel soundings,and a larger number of reference points can realize higher localization accuracy of UE.

文摘The promotion of rural revitalization within the ecological conservation areas(“ECAs”) requires a careful balance between ecological protection and economic development and should be guided by the principle of ecological priority. The cultivation of rural “Local Specialty Products”(“LSPs”) under a green-development framework aligns with the functional positioning of these areas, drives the revitalization of rural industries, and constitutes a fundamental strategy for addressing the unique challenges they face. Although ECAs possess inherent advantages in terms of developing LSPs, they are also confronted by multiple constraints. Accordingly, we propose development objectives that emphasize(a) driving rural industrial prosperity,(b) enhancing the appeal of agricultural heritage, and(c) ensuring inclusive prosperity in the farming communities. In selecting pathways for growth, priority should be given to improving the quality of products, fostering distinctiveness of the technologies, nurturing cultural identities, and upholding the principle of common prosperity. From a policy standpoint, the development of rural LSPs should be recognized as a key lever for advancing the comprehensiveness of rural revitalization in the ECAs. We recommend a set of supportive measures—namely, reinforcing the guidance for spatial planning, integrating the consolidation of factor inputs, and ensuring the robustness of organizational guarantees—to facilitate the high-quality development of LSPs in these areas.

文摘Background:The long-term outcomes of robotic-assisted surgery and the prognostic significance of the pretreatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)in locally advanced rectal cancer(LARC)remain uncertain.This study aimed to assess the long-term outcomes of patients with LARC undergoing robotic-assisted surgery and to determine the prognostic value of pretreatment NLR.Methods:We retrospectively reviewed 252 patients with LARC who were treated at a single medical center in Taiwan between January 2012 and January 2023.All patients underwent neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy(CRT)followed by robotic-assisted surgery with total mesorectal excision(TME).Patients were stratified into four groups on the basis of pretreatment NLRs and carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA)levels.Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify prognostic indicators for overall survival(OS)and disease-free survival(DFS).Results:Patients with a pretreatment NLR of≥3.2 exhibited significantly worse OS and DFS compared with those with an NLR of<3.2(OS:94.4 vs.116.5 months,p=0.001;DFS:78.8 vs.101.7 months,p=0.003).Group A exhibited the poorest prognosis,whereas Group D had the most favorable outcomes.Multivariate analysis revealed NLR≥3.2 as an independent predictor of poor OS(hazard ratio[HR]=2.306,95%CI:1.149-3.747;p=0.001)and DFS(HR=2.055,95%CI:1.341-3.148;p=0.001).Conclusion:Neoadjuvant concurrent CRT followed by robotic-assisted TME is an effective treatment strategy for LARC.A higher pretreatment NLR(≥3.2)independently predicted worse OS and DFS.Stratification using the NLR in combination with CEA levels may enhance prognostic accuracy for patients undergoing robotic-assisted surgery for LARC.

文摘To investigate the damage evolution caused by stress-driven and sub-critical crack propagation within the Beishan granite under multi-creep triaxial compressive conditions,the distributed optical fiber sensing and X-ray computed tomography were combined to obtain the strain distribution over the sample surface and internal fractures of the samples.The Gini and skewness(G-S)coefficients were used to quantify strain localization during tests,where the Gini coefficient reflects the degree of clustering of elements with high strain values,i.e.,strain localization/delocalization.The strain localization-induced asymmetry of data distribution is quantified by the skewness coefficient.A precursor to granite failure is defined by the rapid and simultaneous increase of the G-S coefficients,which are calculated from strain increment,giving an earlier warning of failure by about 8%peak stress than those from absolute strain values.Moreover,the process of damage accumulation due to stress-driven crack propagation in Beishan granite is different at various confining pressures as the stress exceeds the crack initiation stress.Concretely,strain localization is continuous until brittle failure at higher confining pressure,while both strain localization and delocalization occur at lower confining pressure.Despite the different stress conditions,a similar statistical characteristic of strain localization during the creep stage is observed.The Gini coefficient increases,and the skewness coefficient decreases slightly as the creep stress is below 95%peak stress.When the accelerated strain localization begins,the Gini and skewness coefficients increase rapidly and simultaneously.

文摘The practical application of lithium metal batteries(LMBs)requires electrolytes that simultaneously ensure high safety and interfacial stability.Although locally concentrated ionic liquid electrolytes(LCILEs)exhibit exceptional electrochemical stability and compatibility with electrode electrolyte interfaces(EEIs),two major challenges persist:(i)safety risks caused by excessive low-flash-point diluents,and(ii)insufficient understanding of how diluents modulate solvation structures.Herein,we introduce a low-diluent-content LCILE system composed of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide(LiFSI)salt,N-methyl-N-propyl-pyrrolidinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide(Pyr_(13)FSI)ionic liquid,and trifluoromethanesulfonate(TFS)diluent.The TFS diluent strengthens ion-ion interactions by lowering the dielectric constant of the electrolyte,resulting in the formation of a unique nanometric anion aggregates(N-AGGs)reinforced solvation structure.These large anionic clusters exhibit accelerated redox decomposition kinetics,facilitating the rapid formation of a thin,dense,and low-impedance EEI.Consequently,the Li/LiNi_(0.6)Co_(0.2)Mn_(0.2)O_(2)coin cell achieves 87.8%capacity retention over 300 cycles at 4.3 V,while a practical 1.4 Ah Li/NCM622 pouch cell retains 84.5%capacity after 80 cycles at 4.5 V.Furthermore,the electrolyte demonstrates exceptional safety,and 2 Ah Li metal pouch cells successfully pass rigorous nail penetration tests without any ignition or explosion.This work not only provides a design strategy for intrinsically safe and high-performance electrolytes but also highlights the critical role of anion cluster decomposition kinetics in shaping EEI formation.

文摘This study proposes a multi-scale finite element simulation method to investigate the vehicle-induced local vibration effects of orthotropic steel decks(OSDs)by considering tire-road contact conditions.It also focuses on the differences between the dynamic amplification factors(DAFs)of local deflection and strain compared to those corresponding overall response,as well as the influence of road roughness and driving speed on localized DAFs.The results show that vehicle-induced local vibration is distinct near vehicle wheels,especially within 0.5 m from the wheel centerline in the transverse direction and 0.3 m in the longitudinal direction.The localized strain DAFs may potentially exceed 1.4.Generally,the dynamic deflection of a bridge deck is mainly determined by the first system stiffness of OSDs,i.e.,sectional stiffness of the bridge girder.However,the dynamic strain of OSDs arises from the combination of overall bridge modes and local bridge deck panel modes,leading to a higher localized strain DAFs of approximately 16%compared to the overall bridge.Longitudinal and vertical strain DAFs typically occur on U-ribs,while the transverse strain DAFs often arise at stiffness discontinuities of OSD.The recurrent structural variations of OSDs in the transverse and vertical directions result in the maximum vertical strain DAF.

文摘In sodium-ion hybrid capacitors(SIHCs),the high-capacity metal selenide anodes are severely limited by structural instability and polyselenide dissolution/shuttle during cycling.This study proposes an innovative strategy utilizing high-electronegativity N(χ=3.04)to modulate local electronic domains and stabilize amorphous Mo–Se coordination(N/Mo-Se).Through self-polymerization and tunable selenization,N-doped carbon(NC)nanospheres encapsulating N-stabilized amorphous Mo-Se clusters(N/Mo-Se@NC)are successfully constructed.Theoretical and experimental analyses reveal that N-optimization effectively reconstructs the electronic distribution of Mo–Se coordination via strong covalent Mo–N bonds.This significantly enhances the covalency of Mo-Se clusters and induces localized electronic domains,thereby substantially suppressing polyselenide dissolution/shuttle during cycling.Concurrently,the amorphous N/Mo-Se clusters provide isotropic ion diffusion pathways,and together with the threedimensional(3D)conductive networks of the NC,they jointly optimize charge transfer kinetics.The N/Mo-Se@NC anode exhibits a high reversible capacity of 328.7 mAh g^(-1)after 5000 cycles,even at 10.0 A g^(-1),with a remarkable capacity retention of 110%.The assembled N/Mo-Se@NC//AC SIHCs achieve high energy/power densities(236.1 Wh kg^(-1)/9990 W kg^(-1)),demonstrating superior comprehensive performance compared to most previously reported anodes.This study,through high-electronegativity atom modulation and amorphization engineering,opens new avenues for designing highly stable and high-rate Na^(+) storage materials.
